Why is it your least favorite?

Command mission... trying to convert Megaman to an RPG... eh...

THE PSP MEGAMAN X GAME DURRDURR

I've never played X7 so I don't have an opinion on it. Although Axl's in it so I know it sucked.

So I went with my next least, X3.

[Chron]

Are you TRYING to piss me off, WINDUH?

Whatever.
X7. Any respectable person would say the same.

[preventerWIND]

Obviously X7 is the worst, but this topic wouldn't have any meaning if everyone chose X7. Which they'd probably do, I'm going by the games I've fully played. CM and X7 not being part of the bunch.

Though CM does look interesting, RPG's just don't interest me anymore.

[Chron]

But why X3?
Surely you've played X5 or X6 or even X8?

[preventerWIND]

X3 had too much pointless crap in it IMO. You have to collect ride armors and chips? Come on, I never needed that ##### to take out the butt-chin. And I don't need it now.

Save for the Z-Saber, I liked that.

And I've actually enjoyed X5, X6, and X8. But I'm not going into that, as I've already stated that many times. And getting into it again would be walking into a underwater shark infested mine field with bear traps.

[Chron]

And a Chron.
So yes, we'll leave it at that.

[ChaosVortex]

Maverick Hunter X and X8 were actually enjoyable, although it did have a few issues.

A few not being less than three though.

And X7 is gonna take this poll by a landslide.

But...

^ Similar thoughts. X3 was fun, although a bit bland. I'm gonna cut your throat for that comment, WIND.

[preventerWIND]

Only thing you'd be able to cut is the CHEEEESE!

*puts thumb on nose and wiggles fingers*

[TheRedPriest]

What's the point of this poll?  Anyone who does not select X7 doesn't deserve to be allowed in a Mega Man Community.

And by that same token, how do you pick one turd out of 4-5 turds as the worst?  X5-X8 were bad games.  MHX changed too much from MMX, but by god X1 was so good I can't outright right off MHX, so it's a toss up.

[Abominator]

I'm proud to be not a part of said group by casting my vote at the vomitous X6.

[TheRedPriest]

I always knew the day would come when I'd have to ban you Abe...

[ChaosVortex]

Whether Rez turns green from this or not, I feel that both MHX and X1 are nearly equally good in terms of gameplay.

What I hate though, is the story nerfing and the choice of platform. I prefer playing Mega Man X with a controller in my hand on a TV screen. There's more room on screen. It's the same issue I have with Powered Up concerning Old Style and New Style. The story change definitely irks me the wrong way. Mainly Sigma's motive, but Vile's motive wasn't so hot either. He hated X. That's it.

Zero's death was even watered down. He had a dramatic death in X1 (complete with blood), and it was changed to crap.

For those reasons, MHX is hardly an improvement over X1. Definitely.

And I wouldn't say X8 is bad (I'm ignoring the story here). I'd rather play X8 over X5-X7, but I don't feel like replaying the game right now anyway so big whoop.

[ASR]

MHX is inferior to the original if only for the changed upgrade locations.

[ChaosVortex]

Oh yeah, that too.

Cut scenes bummed me down in comparison to the original. When X first met Light in MHX, it didn't feel the same.

[NovaMan XP]

Especially since now they HID the first capsule you find. Lame.

And Sigma's new motives made absolutely no sense at ALL.

[Xero]

X7.  No contest.

[preventerWIND]

Zero's death was even watered down. He had a dramatic death in X1 (complete with blood), and it was changed to crap.

I actually thought that scene was pretty good, I was expecting more though. I just thought the script needed work on that scene. When you walk up to Zero's body, he basically tells him "i told u so lol", although that would have looked a lot better when in MMX2, Sigma tells X "You let Zero die, and he didn't like that" or whatever.

But there wouldn't be a MHX2 so #####it.

[ChaosVortex]

No. It stunk. Straight up.

"Go now... Maverick Hunter X."

No.

[preventerWIND]

Like I said, script needed work.

[Jwhude]

The game was fairly fun though.

[TheRedPriest]

Sigma's second form was obscenely easier in MHX than MMX.  You can close your eyes and hit the PSP against the wall and beat it without using a subtank.

[Mikero]

I'd rather just hit the PSP against the wall.

[ASR]

That is loads of fun.

[Mikero]

Especially when it's not mine, and I just took from some random mega-asian* on the bus.

*A "mega-asian" is a North-American born and/or raised kid who is by heritage Asian, but despite being actually raised in NA they act all super-Asian all the time and only hang out with and date other Asians and only listen to music from their ancestors' country of origin and join webpages like "Azn friends network" and are surprised when a white kid and a half-black half-white kid aren't part of the "Azn friends network" as if it made any sense.
True story.

[Jwhude]

Sigma's second form was obscenely easier in MHX than MMX.  You can close your eyes and hit the PSP against the wall and beat it without using a subtank.

I agree, the first form was a little more fun though, since he dived down at you when he was bouncing and you were under him and he shot lasers out of his head.

[preventerWIND]

He actually shot at you in the original, it's rare though.

[Jwhude]

Oh, well I guess I always kill him before he can.

[TheRedPriest]

You had to be in a certain position for him to shoot lazers at you.

[Mikero]

Rez writes the word "laser" like he's a hair metal band.
Awesomely.

[TheRedPriest]

Z was always superior to S when it came to lazers.

[Panda]

X6, no contest.

Oh wait, there is a contest, X5 and X7 were nearly as terrible.

...

X3 was my favourite. :)

[Abominator]

X6 and X7 fight it out for worstness.

X6 wins.

[Majikn]

I'm honestly curious as to why you feel X7 was better than X6.

[Xero]

X6 and X7 fight it out for worstness.

X6 wins.

::Takes Abe behind the barn and finishes what Rez started::

[TheRedPriest]

X5, X6, X7 and X8 are all bad games.  Though how anyone can call X8 good or find ANY of them worse than X7 is beyond me.

[Xero]

X8 is good.  The game was fun the music was awesome, the only gripe I had were the 2 stages and Axl.

[preventerWIND]

X6 had it's moments. Certainly not the worst of the bunch.

[Panda]

X8 wasn't as bad as 6 or 7, though it could have been a lot better.

[preventerWIND]

Here's the stuff I found bad in X8..

•Weird art style
•Level's were poop
•Armor was ugly
•Axl

[Mikero]

The cover of X6 made me wretch enough that to this day I have not played it or any of the ones after it, not including CM.

[TheRedPriest]

What was wrong with X8?

- Awful stage design.  AWFUL.  All of them.  Without exception.  X8 took everything X5 - X7 did wrong and rolled it into one game.  The levels were each poorly made "themes" that stiffled your playing to some degree, in some cases rivaling Metal Shark Player's stage.  There was not ONE single good stage in X8.

- 2 man party system was broken and poorly implemented.  It was bad enough changing characters between stages, but IN THEM?  It removed any reason to play as one character as stages were made to be played by switching.  Remember X4?  Some parts were easier with X, some with Zero, and it really extened the gameplay because each character required you play the stage differently.  X8 does not.  It's the same.  Every time.

- 3 playable characters.  Same problem X7 had.  Axl serves no purpose.  He does not offer anything different X or Zero already gave.  He's a 3rd wheel fan character that kills the dynamic between X and Zero.

- Buying your upgrades do not belong in an X game.  I'm sorry, you are not allowed to disagree.  Finding your 8 heart tanks and 4 sub tanks was half the fun of the game and worked quite well.  X8 just adds so much unnecessary GARBAGE that gets in the way of the core gameplay.

- The music was among the worst in the series.

- The change in art direction was like vomit in your eye, and the only reason it isn't the worst thing to ever happen to X and Zero is Mega Man Zero.

- All of the complete and totally RANDOM ##### put in the game to make it "cool".  Vile.  Why's he back?  No fanfare when he dies again.  He was just there.  No reason other than VILE IS COOL LOOK!  LOOK! X8 IS GOOD AGAIN!  The utterly mind bogglingly WRONG use of the word Maverick.  But getting into that is a whole other discussion and not necessairly in itself X8's fault.

X8 isn't awful, certainly no X7, and I can entertain the argument it's better than X5 or X6 (it's not), but you can not say it's a good game, because that is an out and out lie.

[Xero]

Most of those points I agree with.

I would pefer to get my heart tanks and #####.

But the music is awesome and IMO one of the best of the series.  Still doesn't hold a candle to X1 though.

[TheRedPriest]

I've not liked the music in the X series as well since X2.  Each game had a few tracks at least that were good, though X7 and X8 just made my ears bleed.

[ChaosVortex]

If I could make quick comments...

- Awful stage design.  AWFUL.  All of them.  Without exception.  X8 took everything X5 - X7 did wrong and rolled it into one game.  The levels were each poorly made "themes" that stiffled your playing to some degree, in some cases rivaling Metal Shark Player's stage.  There was not ONE single good stage in X8.

Actually... there's quite a couple I liked. I just missed some sort of actual side-scrolling gameplay, and a lot of the stages supplied that.

Of course, other offered cheap gimmicks that I hate to replay, like bike riding, elevator riding, etc.

- 2 man party system was broken and poorly implemented.  It was bad enough changing characters between stages, but IN THEM?  It removed any reason to play as one character as stages were made to be played by switching.  Remember X4?  Some parts were easier with X, some with Zero, and it really extened the gameplay because each character required you play the stage differently.  X8 does not.  It's the same.  Every time.

I can agree to that. While swapping in between characters I felt was a nice idea, it would've been better as a sequel if you just went alone. You can thank X7 for that implementation.

- 3 playable characters.  Same problem X7 had.  Axl serves no purpose.  He does not offer anything different X or Zero already gave.  He's a 3rd wheel fan character that kills the dynamic between X and Zero.

Agree fully.

- Buying your upgrades do not belong in an X game.  I'm sorry, you are not allowed to disagree.  Finding your 8 heart tanks and 4 sub tanks was half the fun of the game and worked quite well.  X8 just adds so much unnecessary GARBAGE that gets in the way of the core gameplay.

Agree fully.

- The music was among the worst in the series.

... give or take. Some of them were catchy. I still have the Jacob theme on my iTunes.

- The change in art direction was like vomit in your eye, and the only reason it isn't the worst thing to ever happen to X and Zero is Mega Man Zero.

Agreed.

- All of the complete and totally RANDOM ##### put in the game to make it "cool".  Vile.  Why's he back?  No fanfare when he dies again.  He was just there.  No reason other than VILE IS COOL LOOK!  LOOK! X8 IS GOOD AGAIN!  The utterly mind bogglingly WRONG use of the word Maverick.  But getting into that is a whole other discussion and not necessairly in itself X8's fault.

Agreed so much. If there's one thing I downright hate about the game, it's the cruddy storyline. Everything made little to no sense at all.

I mean... orbital elevator?

Fight Sigma on the moon?

wat?

[ASR]

mebbe they will find megman volnutt there!!!!!

[Fatso]

nonononononono
