Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 & 2

They may be but the idea that most people have grandkids by 50 though...

It happens, but 50 isn't THAT old haha

No, limited runs don't help, and make a bad precedent.  It just pushes prices up unnecessarily and encourages scalpers.  I will say of Limited Run Games specifiically, they're going the right direction with doing open preorders not specific number runs for their Switch stuff.  But ideally it would all be normal retail with numbers that make scalping unprofitable.

TOTALLY agree.

well EA will have consumed most of the gaming industry and deleted any studio that did not force in microtransactions so they are the only way to play new games, as suck i will just grab my Xbox 360 and play some halo 3

but then EA sends their hit-men to kill me for having a physical game in this dystopia where all non microtansaction filled games are destroyed

[Xero]

So about that X Collection huh?

Yeah good times.  Good times.

i just came up with some head cannon that the glide armour from x7 was made before the armour from x1, that is why it is so ##### and light is a prerecorded message in x7

[NovaMan XP]

I don't think the Glide Armor is too bad, the gliding ability was kinda helpful for X7's #####ty 3D sections, at least... though that's not really much of a plus.

Still, Fourth Armor/Ultimate Armor is my favorite. It has the best overall gameplay improvements. The armors in X5 and X6 all had some weird flaw or gimmick, like the Gaia Armor or Blade Armor...

Light Armor:  Great
Giga Armor:  Also Great
Hyper Armor:  Okay, but the upward air dash is a bit of an ass.
Fourth Armor:  Great
Ultimate Armor:  THE BEST in X4, Decent in X5-X6, Great in X8
Falcon Armor:  Decent in X5, Mediocre in X6
Gaea Armor:  #####
Blade Armor:  Mediocre
Shadow Armor:  Awesome
Glide Armor:  Okay I guess...

The design of X8's armor is hot garbage.

[Xero]

Functionality.  Not design.

But yeah turtleneck dog collar X was dumb looking.

[TheRedPriest]

The design is so #####ing awful I don't even want to look at it, let alone use it, function be damned.  That's a serious issue.

[Mikero]

Honestly I loved Falcon Armor in X5.
X6 eats dix.

The X8 ultimate armor is definitely bad but I don't even think the large front plate/collar is the main issue (though it's not ideal). The whole design methodology behind it is just... it's something that would fit in Battle Network than X. But by then we knew the design bible was going out the window with MMZ.
