The *ahem* collection

[Winged Warrior]

Ripping into x5 for sadness states, I still just can't get into the X series past X2.

there is no X-collection topic. lets whine about it here.

[NovaMan XP]

I heard the collection sucked and didn't end up having all the things it promised!

[yuri]

I bought it just to play X1-3.

[Someguy]

The X6 Japanese dubs were removed and Capcom was apparently gunna add an English dub, but that never happened, and they took out a word from X1 Sigma's sentence just so X could say "damn"

[yuri]

I noticed that, do you mean when you kill him?

[preventerWIND]

Yeah, they put in damn and took out a word from Sigma's final speech. So he says something like "why have done this to us!?"

[Xero]

Blame Inafune.

[yuri]

Yeah that's what I meant.

[Rama Olendris]

I wasn't disappointed in the X collection, it had all the games I needed. I didn't see the real point in the extras though, all of it is just crappy sound mixes and (some) cool pictures that you can rip from the internet. That's one thing I didn't really like but everything else. Cool.

I must admit, the Battle and Chase game is fun to play with friends.

[Mikero]

I never had any of the X games though I'd played almost all of them, so I bought it. It's not great, but it's passable.

[Fatso]

Mega Man X is my most-played game of all time (over 2000 hours IIRC), and I felt it appropriate to pick up another release of this best-game-evar competitor. I would get MHX as well, but that would entail getting a (*blurgh*) PSP.

I like the fact that slowdown has been eliminated as well as the 8-channel sound limitation on the SNES games.

I dislike that they used the PSX version of X3, as well as the lacklustre extras (I mean, they didn't even put Mega Man Soccer on! ZOMFGZ)

[Chron]

I have the collection.
I'm not sure why.

I do like the Saturn version of X3, though. Nice music and all.

Could have done without X5 and X6.

[Mikero]

I dislike that they used the PSX version of X3, as well as the lacklustre extras (I mean, they didn't even put Mega Man Soccer on! ZOMFGZ)

Why should MM Soccer be on the X collection? It's odd enough BnC was there.

[Fatso]

They were just sweeping through the non-canon games anyway, why not throw it in?

[Mikero]

They chose what was previously unavailable in the west. BnC and MM Soccer should've been part of MMAC.

[Fatso]

Then they would have irreversibly switched the 'Pass' and 'Shoot' buttons, and probably put the 'Clear Kick' button somewhere not even on the controller!

[Mikero]

Irrelevant!

[TheRedPriest]

Passable is a sad state of acceptability.  Bootleg "computer program of dubious legality"s and roms play the games better than a product from an official branch of Capcom itself.  Am I the only one who is utterly offended and enraged by this fact?

You could ALMOST forgive Capcom for farming out MMAC to a group of underqualified hacks who evidently have a day job poking holes in juice cups for slightly less mentally handicapped manchildren than they are that then go home and bang their drool encrusted faces into a keyboard for 5 minutes a night and call it work on the code/programming for the single biggest disappointment in compilation history.

But MMXC was all Capcom.  No excuses save for CoJ and Inafune being at BEST grossly incompetent and at worst complete dicks.  I pity people who don't have the SNES carts or PS1 discs, because this POS compilation is a travesty.  Like watching Superman fight crime when he's 90 with Kryptonite cancer and 1 leg and a moth eaten costume.

[ChaosVortex]

Capcom: Guys... we're sorry about MMAC. To make it up to you, we've added a BUNCH of extra content that I'm sure you will enjoy.

Fans: YEAAH!

Inafune: Wait! What's this!?

NO MUSIC.

NO VOICES.

FOX ONLY.

FINAL DESTINATION!

[preventerWIND]

I expected that.


And lol'd.

[Mikero]

Passable is a sad state of acceptability.  Bootleg "computer program of dubious legality"s and roms play the games better than a product from an official branch of Capcom itself.  Am I the only one who is utterly offended and enraged by this fact?

Nope.

MMX is actually fun when it's not played on MMXC, which is essentially a headache on a disc.

[yuri]

Is their really a difference I have played both it is practically the same thing.

[Johncarllos]

The controller.

'Nuf said.

[TheRedPriest]

Is their really a difference I have played both it is practically the same thing.

Yes.  Some are subtle, some are glaring.  Though to be honest I've just forgot most of them.  I've moved on since then and am content with the knowledge that MMXC is ##### on a disc.

[yuri]

It is still easy to play.

[NovaMan XP]

Yeah, it only rapes people's childhood games.

[TheRedPriest]

It is still easy to play.

And still a complete ##### port of what should have been an easy job.

[yuri]

Yeah, it only rapes people's childhood games.

Thats my job.

[preventerWIND]

...

[Xero]

Do you even know what you are saying half the time?

[ChaosVortex]

He knows, he's just attempting to be funny.

Attempting.

[Winged Warrior]

Well it is good that he's in Leo's character...

We need an Aeris to kick him around.

[Xero]

We have an ARES.  Is that good enough?

[Winged Warrior]

I guess, but he's never here.

[Mikero]

This is where he posts out of the blue like "Aren't I?"

[yuri]

Do you even know what you are saying half the time?

Everyone asks me this, YES I DO.

[Fatso]

That means you DON'T know what you're saying the OTHER half of the time!

[ChaosVortex]

Fatass got ya there.

[Blitzkrieg]

Baby got slapped!

Yeah, I couldn't think of anything else to throw in.

[Mikero]

Baby Got Slapped.

That OTHER song by Sir Mix-A-Lot, much less successful.

[Orange Devil]

I've read your complaints, and I still don't understand what is bad about it. The controller? Come on. You have to contort your fingers to play an SNES Megaman X game anyway, it's pretty much the same. And you can change the controls to suit your fingers... which actually made "constantly holding the dash button" easier. So frankly, I liked the controls.

And how much was it? 20 bucks? Compared to the amount that you would shell out on the origional X, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, and Megaman Racing games, I would say that's a bargain.

I loved it, still do.

[Fatso]

You could remap the controls in the original releases too. Additionally, I don't know what you're talking about - SNES controller is more comfortable by far in my hands than PSX/PS2/GCN controller.

One more gripe that I forgot to throw in there - I suspect they used recordings instead of an actual reproduction of the SPC, because fadeouts got nuked.

[Johncarllos]

I just killed X1 in a matter of 55 minutes.

<3 the SNES controller.

[Orange Devil]

Oh, come on. You aren't extreme if you can't press "Jump" "Dash" and "Shoot" all at the same time. Am I really the only one who does this?

I know, the picture is backwards. Sue me, Scilon.

[Johncarllos]

You're funny, I just switch dash to "L."

[Orange Devil]

L is for Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaame.

I use L for switching weapons back and forth.
I've been doing that for like... 13 years.

[Fatso]

I just killed X1 in a matter of 55 minutes.

<3 the SNES controller.

Only 21 minutes to go 'till you beat SDA's record, and 18 'till you beat mine

I dash with R, unfortunately the hinge for the button is broken so I'll have to file my L button down to make it fit in the R button slot.

[Orange Devil]

Haha, now THAT is hardcore. The things we do with out SNES controllers...

I have Mortal Kombat fatalities carved into the back of mine from when I was younger. I origionally wrote them with a sharpie, but I wore that off from playing too much.

My best is 43 I think.
I might be as long as 46.
I'm content where I am at it though.

[Fatso]

The only way to make the run any faster than about 40 minutes is to cut out all the items anyway, which makes for some frustrating deaths at random-ish times.
