/v/ - Video Games

I'll start:

>X>Classic>Zero (Those are the only ones I've played so far)

>Maverick Hunter X, MM7, and Zero 3

>Tie between Storm Tornado and Metal blades

>Zero specifically in Megaman Zero

>Boomerang Kuwanger

>Looks good. I'm happy it's not another retro clone and that they're actually trying this time.

>More games from the X series, ZX series, and Legends series.

>Choosing bosses always seemed like trial and error to me. On your first time playing, you could potentially choose a hard as balls boss fight, which could be an enjoyment killer for casuals. I recently played an indie roguelike clone of Mega man X called 20XX, and the way they handled the bosses there is very good. Basically, in the beginning, they start off easy, but each time you defeat one, the other gain new attacks and get harder and harder. Mega man should just do that (of course, with 8 bosses selectable instead of the 3 at a time in 20XX)

>Legends 3 to make the fans happy.

But I want to keep shitting on the cartoon and Mega Man 11's Denuvo

I wonder how well the X collection sold, especially when compared to the megaman collection.

>>15373468

You can do that in another thread

Besides Megaman Soccer, is there any other game where you can team-up of play as the robot masters ? (doesnt matter if it belongs to another genre)

>look at list of favorites posters are supposed to give

>no favorite armor

son I am disappoint

Is the X collection any good? The two boss challenge seems really fun

Reminder that X is a clusterfuck and the Classic subseries is way better.

>>15373751

X is just megaman for edgy teenagers

>>15373783

>X is just megaman for furfags

:^)

>>15373783

unironically this. also very based

>Your ranking of each series

Classic is the most consistent, even the "bad" ones tend to be pretty good. X has the most highs and lows, some X games are the best in the megaman series, but then theres shit like X7. I only fully played MMZ 1 but it pissed me off with its upgrade system requiring tons of grinding and punishing you for using any of it, i actually liked ZX better. Legends was great fun but i have a hard time comparing it to the other games.

>Your favorite weapon out of all of the games

Storm Tornado, honorary mention to the Vacuum arm from Legends which made money grinding a hell of a lot less painful.

>Favorite character

The Bonne family was great, MML Roll was great too. MML just had a ton of likable characters.

>Thoughts on Mega man 11 so far

Cautious Optimism.

>Your hopes for the future of mega man

X series revival, Legends 3 no really this time. New ZX game.

>What mega man games could improve upon in general

They needed to expand on the Intro Stage > 8 Bosses > 3 final stages thing, generally just have more content per game.

>If you could revive one of the canceled mega man games, which would it be?

Legends 3 of course.

I hope capcom finally pulled its head outta its ass, but first Megaman 11 actually has to be a good game. If they fuck this up then it might be better to just let the series stay dead.

>>15373783

That's MM Zero. Megaman X is a growth of the franchise for the audience of Megaman Classic who also grew up after 20 years of games.

>>15373459

The only hope is for Crapcom to go bankrupt and free the IP.

>>15373472

Do we have a MM11 thread? I sort of want to go meta.

>Your ranking of each series

Classic - Classic gets to the essentials and does them the best. I like the added complexity of exploration in the X series, but some of the later Classic entries have this too, without so much missable content and the dumb melodrama story. The Game Boy games are great, too. Even the spinoffs like Racing are great. Rockboard is totally underrated. Even Mega Man Soccer is alright. The only thing I don't like is the fact that 9 and 10 went backwards in a lot of ways, catering specifically to Mega Man 2 fags instead of being sequels to the entire series. But 11 looks good.

Legends - Really something of its own and I don't even feel it's that comparable to the rest. But if I'm gonna compare it, I like it almost as much as the main series.

X - Great, but the melodramatic story is ridiculous. I don't get how Shadow the Hedgehog gets shit on but this, which I'd say is much worse with the edginess, gets praised. And X just keeps getting more edgy, while Shadow actually learns to not be edgy. I love the added emphasis on exploration, but hate how a lot of the games have major missable content. I also hate Zero, who is a massive faggot Mary Sue OC Donut Steel. He doesn't even play like Mega Man, using a sword because swords are like so epic guys, and the series focuses on him more and more, until soon he's half the game, and then they just gave up and made him the entire series.

Zero - See my description of Zero's gameplay and character above.

Battle Network - Not really interested since it's a turn based RPG and not even the same universe. Some people might like it but it's not my thing.

Never played ZX or Star Force. But Star Force is the same as Battle Network, right? So whatever.

>Your favorite weapon out of all of the games

Buster all day every day. Because I'm too autistic to "waste" my other weapons, in fear that I'll need them later. That goddamn boss near the end of 2 that can only be beaten with full supply of Crash Man trained me to never waste ammo in these games.

>Favorite character

Quint/Rockman Future. Classic has deepest lore. Xfags can suck a dick.

>Favorite Boss

Metal Daddy from Mega Man 4. Because he has the best name.

>Thoughts on Mega man 11 so far

Neat but I haven't been following it hard aside from seeing that it isn't faux-retro shit. I'm glad it looks like it's actually trying to be Mega Man 11 and not 2.5 or something.

>Your hopes for the future of mega man

More games. Legends 3. Wouldn't mind more X. People say the story is over but I don't care about the story. Just focus on X though and don't make it Zero in all but name.

>What mega man games could improve upon in general

Take the exploration from X and apply it to something that focuses on only the core gameplay. More stuff like X1. If X has evolved too far to continue doing stuff like that, just apply it to Classic, which was already partially done in games like 6.

>If you could revive one of the canceled mega man games, which would it be?

Legends 3

>>15373508

You can play as all the Robot Masters in Mega Man: Powered Up. Also Battle & Chase.

>>15373882

>But that's the Zero games, anon.

>>15373949

Zero and X are both Mega Man for edgy teenagers. Zero is just for even edgier teenagers than X. Also, X didn't come out 20 years after the first game. It was only 6 years. But yes, that is enough time for the kids who started with 1 to grow up into edgy teenagers.

>>15373957

>he thinks bankruptcy frees (((intellectual properties.)))

All that happens is some other people who had nothing to do with the creation of the material buy it up and ruin the material while making all the money instead.

Any thoughts on Maverick Hunter?

>>15374184

>muh edgy

Look Zero's edgy as fuck, both the character and the spinoff, but MMX isn't. It just got more serious.

>>15374210

Go play them again. It's like Linkin Park went back in time and made a video game to inspire their own future selves in a time loop. It goes from shonen anime to trying to be all "what am I fighting for?!" pseudo-deep shit. At least the Classic Series doesn't overreach its grasp. And that's not to say it doesn't do good stories. But they aren't all shoved in your face with the subtlety of the poems a 13 year old emo carves into her own arms.

>>15374225

>>15374184

Good job on further trivializing the word "edgy". There's nothing shocking about Zero, and there's nothing "pseudo" about a storyline wherein a hero starts questioning his cause after the death of someone he loves.

You're a fag, commit sudoku.

>>15374237

Mega Man doing these things is no less ridiculous than Shadow the Hedgehog doing these things. The difference is that at least the point of Shadow's story is for him to learn to not be an emo faggot anymore. The X and Zero series just keep going deeper with it. The first couple X games have great gameplay, but the story is one of the most laughable that has ever been in a video game. Just face the facts that the entire direction of those series was dictated by Inafune, who by his works evidently has the taste and mentality of an emo tween, trying to get his own OC Donut Steel game published, but Capcom wouldn't let him, so he slowly turned the Mega Man series into that. It's no different than Ken Penders trying to make the Sonic comics into his own crap that was too shitty to get published anywhere else, except for the fact that at least that was some spinoff comic adaptation and not the games themselves. The only saving grace is that Inafune, who somehow got to this level of authority despite clearly not caring about gameplay, was too focused on character design and story to ruin the gameplay too hard. At least at first. Over time he finally managed to make his edgy OC the main character and the result was Mega Man games where half the game you don't have a gun, and finally an entire series where you don't have a gun. And his mission was complete, completely divorcing the Mega Man series from Mega Man.

X is merely the franchise in the process of being warped into some faggot's OC Donut Steel fanfiction. Since the process wasn't yet complete, it's not as bad as it later gets, but you can still see it obviously. Especially if you're playing the games in order. Going from 6 to X and X2 is hilarious. Like they expect me to take this shit seriously. Great game, but come on.

>>15374289

The post was saying two things

1) X is even more immaturely edgy than Shadow the Hedgehog. If you're willing to say Shadow the Hedgehog isn't edgy, then fine. We'll work with that definition of edgy, where practically nothing is edgy.

2) Zero is a faggot who is nearly completely divorced as a concept from the original games, but Inafune used the X series as a bridge so he could slowly change the franchise away from the good original games into his OC Donut Steel showcase. This part isn't even really opinion. Everyone knows that's how the development of the series went.

>>15374311

Which means X is still Megaman. Apparently shitty megaman to you but nonetheless.

>>15374225

>It goes from shonen anime to trying to be all "what am I fighting for?!"

Zero being a fag because of Inafune =/= the entire series being edgy. Stop that.

In case you've forgotten, Rock himself almost died multiple times throughout Classic, and he also tried to actually kill Wily once.

>>15374330

Not to mention the fact that Protoman's busted core meaning that he would eventually die just like a human was an ongoing point in Classic.

>>15374327

I already said I like the X series. Especially the early ones. It's just the story is dumb. That's fine. At least early on they don't focus too hard on it. Also forcing Zero to be half the game eventually was dumb. But at least X was still there to actually play like Mega Man.

>>15374330

>Zero being a fag because of Inafune =/= the entire series being edgy. Stop that.

That isn't what I was saying. You've got it backwards. He slowly made it more and more edgy because that was his goal all along, but Capcom wouldn't let him do it, so he had to do it slowly, under their noses. Everyone already knows this.

The difference is tone. Classic has a good story with serious elements, but it's not presented with hilariously dumb cutscenes like the ones you get at the end of even the first couple X games.

>>15374354

I meant X as a series compared to Shadow the Hedgehog the game.

>>15374348

The story being dumb doesn't mean it's edgy. Having a darker tone doesn't make it edgy. Shadow is edgy because it's meant to be shocking and rebellious. Shadow says the closest things to swear words he can with an E10+ rating. Enemies bleed. The first stage is a dark, burning, cracking city that looks like the apocalypse is happening. The main antagonists are black aliens that are basically the same thing as the aliens from Independence Day. The fucking opening animation has a beat up Sonic fall before Shadow.

X tries too hard to be serious and ends up melodramatic, but that's not being edgy. Both protags, X and Zero, are good, selfless heroes that fight because they think it's the right thing to do. They're supported by an equally admirable crew. Despite the darker story tone, the environments and characters are just as bright and colorful as the classic games. All the characters look like they could be kids' action figures in the same vein as Transformers. The presence of tragedy, attempts at gray morality, and villains that actually accomplish something isn't edginess. It's just a (bad) attempt at maturity. X is as edgy as Mobile Suit Gundam.

>>15374415

That anon is ignoring a great deal of details to spin his story, and even got some things wrong.

One night I had a dream I was playing Mega Man X9. Backgrounds were cell-shaded 3D but sprites were clean hand-drawn 2D animation outside of a few larger than the screen bosses.

Also there was this comfy HUB area where you could leave the screen selection screen and chill around Maverick Hunter HQ and hang out with other characters and drink E-tanks at the mess hall. They even gave you hints where some power ups were in levels.

Also the Mavericks were based on monsters. Gale Pazuzu (uses hail storms at the tower of Babyl), Morgue Golem (a Frankenstein maverick made from parts of dead mavkericks X destroyed), Rattler Lamia (snake-lady pop-idol that uses super sonic waves attacks that resonate inside you like venom dealing massive internal damage), Sol Wyrmlord (a dragon asshole maverick that fires solar flares like dragon breath), etc.

Weapons were pretty cool too. Sonic Venom turned weaker enemies and projectiles into proximity bombs for other enemies. Morgue Robomancey created zombie mavericks from debris that made neat platforms and meat shields. That's all I could remember.

>>15374436

This is such a great concept that I want to pinch you for even sharing it here. Someone's gonna steal your idea anon

>>15374454

I mean punch.

>>15374420

>Having a darker tone doesn't make it edgy.

Having a darker tone than the concept works with does. Trying to mash the tone of X into something like Mega Man makes it edgy.

Shadow the Hedgehog is edgy but at least the plot of the game is literally Shadow learning to not be edgy. It's much more self aware than Mega Man X.

That said, I'm willing to meet you in the middle here and agree with you on the terms melodrama (which was the term I was using more at first) and bad attempts at maturity being the most appropriate.

>>15374415

If you want to talk about Classic Mega Man being grim, just note the story of Rockman World 2. In every game we see Rock takes Wily at his word and gives him another chance when Wily pretends to have reformed. But at some point in the future, he truly does reform. Then past-Wily comes to the future, disguises himself as his good future self, and tricks Rock into reprogramming him for evil and taking him back in time to take over the world for him, forcing past-Rock to kill his own future self. People like to say this is an alternate timeline, but I've seen nothing to actually indicate that. And if you count Challenger from the Future, sure, future Rock survives, but still can't override his reprogramming, and can't help but do evil even though he doesn't want to, but he's too powerful for anyone to stop him, so he goes back in time and gets his own past self to team up with Forte so they can together be powerful enough to kill him. And I know people will say Rockman Shadow isn't actually Future Rockman but that's clearly just because the english translation isn't the best, the game is obscure, and the story involves him giving several lies about his own origin. Clearly given he gets more powerful when Rock does, and his ghost looking exactly like Rock, he's supposed to be Rock. Also the end would simply have no emotional resonance if he wasn't.

But the difference is that even a story that is seemingly as edgy as those two isn't presented with an edgy tone. Well Rockman World II is all in the manual to begin with, but even with Challenger from the Future showing his ghost as the other characters are sad that they had to kill him, the tone doesn't play it too melodramatically. It's still kept within the general atmosphere of the Astro Boy ripoff that it is.

>>15374454

I don't care. I don't own the Mega Man IP nor do I want to work for Crapcom. So anything Mega Man related I will share freely. I'm keeping my better ideas to myself. Also any ideas for the other 4 Mavericks?

Also an idea came to me on how not to make Axel suck. Axel can morph into other Mavericks with his chip, sure. However for his weapons he can morph body parts of his body into parts of boss Mavericks for powerful attacks combined with movement options. Example: Axel can morph Sol Wyrmlord's wings to glide after a mid-air dash. It also adds a plasma shield above and below, but not directly in front, to kill enemies and cancel projectiles.

Also Crapcom locked Zero and Axel mode as DLC.

>>15374506

>Iris is canonically Rule 63 X.

>>15374496

>Having a darker tone than the concept works with does. Trying to mash the tone of X into something like Mega Man makes it edgy.

That would work as a point, if X was trying to be part of the classic series. But it wasn't. It was explicitly a different series within the same franchise. It had similar elements, the same core concepts, and was technically part of the same timeline, but the only thing it shared with Mega Man is the name and core gameplay. On the other hand, Shadow is supposed to be part of the same series as Sonic 1 - Sonic Heroes. It's taking literally the same characters and setting and making it darker, bloodier, and more vulgar.

>>15374506

X4's plot is still fucking stupid, though, no matter what language. The conflict is so contrived and dependent on Repliforce being retards.

>>15374516

>>15374506

Both of them are needed in order to fully emulate X, but this project thing being directly related to him is new to me. No reploid can be as humane and independent as him by default because Cain couldn't figure out how Light did it, as he's an archeologist, not an engineer.

>>15374516

>>15374506

God that just makes everything way more awkward.

>>15374562

Shadow the Hedgehog is as much a spinoff as Mega Man X. The only major difference would be that Mega Man X takes place further in the future, whereas Shadow is contemporaneous with the rest of the series. Mega Man X still has many recurring characters, X looks even more like Mega Man than Shadow looks like Sonic. It's the same damn thing. It still looks ridiculous to see Mega Man trying to talk seriously about the philosophical implications of war, at least the way they did it. It comes off like a 13 year old trying to pretend to be mature. Now that said I could see ways it could be done, I could even see ways it could be done with Classic Mega Man, but it's all about execution. It's pretending to be grown up when it's not, rather than acknowledging what it is and then tackling the (arguably) grown up material within that frame of reference. Just because X is consistent with trying to do that doesn't mean that it actually is grown up. It consistently fails at it.

>>15374375

My favorite thing about the X series' bad writing was Dynamo

>destroys an entire fucking colony of humans, presumably killing everyone on it and causing it to plummet to the earth, where it may kill more humans

>is a happy go lucky guy "lmao take a chill pill X don't let stress kill you"

>shows up in X6 for no reason

And I also wish that Inafune fulfilled his westaboo fantasies and made a truly edgy Mega Man game. Not because it would be good, but because it would be funny.

>takes place before classic

>no robots, everyone is human

>Mega Man is a white 30 year old who is an elite counterterrorism agent disillusioned by the government's corruption

>he has blue armor and a "mega buster" rifle with a laser attachment (charge shot)

>his partner Zero is a 2cool4u nip with a super katana

>the bosses are terrorists with experimental weapons e.g Fire Man is a pyromaniac with a flamethrower and Guts Man has mechanical Hulk hands

>mega man takes their weapons when they die, zero is too cool for that

Tits or GTFO. Show us the mayor's tits too. The mayor was QT3.14 ara in that game.

>>15374597

>Shadow the Hedgehog is as much a spinoff as Mega Man X.

Shadow the Hedgehog is a direct sequel to Sonic Heroes.

>Mega Man X still has many recurring characters

It has two, one of them being a hologram you rarely see, and the other being barely more than a background influence.

>X looks even more like Mega Man

X looks like an adult Mega Man. Shadow looks like Sonic's evil clone.

>It consistently fails at it.

I agree. But that isn't edginess. You're misconstruing edginess with poor writing. Edginess is about being deliberately shocking. It's about being rebellious. It's about going against common decency. X is none of that. It's trying to be Mega Man for an older audience. It just sucks at it. That's not edginess; it's just incompetency.

>>15374604

You forgot that the terrorists are all furries, only its presented as their fursuits are actually cool.

>>15374626

>Shadow the Hedgehog is a direct sequel to Sonic Heroes.

It's just as connected to Mega Man 6 as 6 is to 5. Especially since the games up to this point, including X1, had very little story in the first place, and what was there was all in the manual.

>It has two, one of them being a hologram you rarely see, and the other being barely more than a background influence.

X should count since he looks the exact same except he has a red dot on his forehead. Just because Inafune says "this isn't Mega Man, he's actually a totally different guy who is way cooler" doesn't mean that it doesn't still look and feel like it's Mega Man doing these things.

>X looks like an adult Mega Man. Shadow looks like Sonic's evil clone.

X looks like Mega Man with a red dot on his head. It looks like exactly what you'd expect Rock to look like on the fancy new Super Nintendo with 16-bit graphics. The biggest difference between X's sprite and Rock's sprite from 7 is just that they didn't bother to put as much color detail on Rock's suit, because they weren't trying to go for such a "serious" I'd say edgy but I know it triggers you look. But if you didn't have that to compare, X is what you'd expect Rock to look like on Super Nintendo. He certainly doesn't look any older.

>Edginess is about being deliberately shocking. It's about being rebellious. It's about going against common decency.

See I would have said something more like faux maturity. Dark for the sake of dark. I'm not talking about a character, but about the work as a whole.

But again, if you won't argue with "bad attempts at maturity" or "melodrama," then okay. I think we agree.

>>15374704

>It's just as connected to Mega Man 6 as 6 is to 5.

Uhh, what? Did you type something wrong?

>it doesn't still look and feel like it's Mega Man doing these things

It doesn't. I'm afraid you might have some kind of mental disability if you think it does.

>He certainly doesn't look any older.

Rock has the face and proportions of a child. X has the face and proportions of a young adult. You must be blind.

>>15374664

>Pfff with a perv like you?

Says the girl who bared it all in front of >>15374727.

>>15374570

>X4's plot is stupid

Not as much as you think.

>Repliforce was a reploid paramilitary force created by Dr. Cain between Mega Man X3 and X4 to provide support for the Maverick Hunters and increase their response time and further reduce Maverick incidents

>Sigma returns and tries to convince General to make Repliforce independent from the Maverick Hunters, warning that the Hunters were growing too powerful and could overthrow Repliforce at any moment

>General ponders on this, but ultimately tells him to fuck off

>Sigma then seeks out Magma Dragoon

>Magma Dragoon was a proud maverick hunter who was dissatisfied with his job and envied X's skill, as the latter never fought him at full power whenever they sparred, regardless of how much Dragoon wanted to go all out against him to see who's better, because X saw him as a friend, not as a rival, and that angered Dragoon

>Sigma convinces him that he would get the fight of his life against X if he betrayed the maverick hunters

>Blinded by his envy, Dragoon accepts, leaves the Hunter HQ in secret, and following Sigma's plan, destroys Repliforce's Sky Lagoon floating colony's power core, setting it on a crash course

>When X arrives at the scene, he finds Dragoon, who lies about the cause of the attack, blaming it on Repliforce reploids who turned Maverick

>Dragoon leaves, and X stays on the colony as it crashes down on another city below, killing hundreds of people

>X then meets Colonel, who's searching the crash site for his sister Iris, as she was around near the site at the time of the crash

>Having been told by Dragoon that the crash was caused by a Repliforce turned maverick, asks Colonel to surrender his weapons and follow him back to the Hunters' HQ

>Feeling insulted and betrayed at being considered a suspect despite being part of an organization that was allied with the Hunters, Colonel refuses, as he lacks the diplomatic decision-making programming that his amiable sister and X have

>With this, Colonel leaves, and X is forced to put him on the fugitive list, and the Hunters become suspicious of Repliforce

>Colonel informs General about these events, and General is finally convinced of what Sigma told him, and promptly begins a campaign to make Repliforce independent, seeking to build a colony away from planet Earth for good measure so there won't be any conflict

>Sigma then sends Double to infiltrate Hunter HQ, erase all records and lines of communication witg Repliforce and further sabotage them with forged incriminating evidence, blocking Repliforce's comm requests to sort out misunderstandings, and finally spy on and assassinate X

>Dragoon does not return to hunter HQ after the accident, and instead settles in a volcanic area, declaring his intentions to become a Maverick and revealing that he was the one behind the Sky Lagoon incident, all so he could finally challenge X to fight him at full power

>Unfortunately by the time Dragoon reveals this, the conflict between Repliforce and Maverick had already begun, with Repliforce carrying out attacks and aking strategic positions in response to the Maverick Hunters starting a massive reploidhunt

>Meanwhile, Sigma sets out to take control of the Repliforce orbital weapon, originally meant to be a final solution against Mavericks in case Sigma grew too powerful for the hunters to beat

And so, X4 happened.

>>15374792

Oh you know… Killing time reading about the history of Mega Men of the world because I'm STRANDED ON THE FUCKING MOON!!!

>>15374825

I'm gonna stop before I get banned.

Okay, who wants to carry on the gay RP chat session as Mega Man?

>>15374851

Nobody. Do not follow my example. Let's talk about X lore instead.

X-7 and beyond brought a lot of clusterfuck. I know we don't need closure into the Elf Wars in the X series. However I do want X-9 to at least help clean up the cluster fuck X-7 left behind. And if Elf Wars are implied then I want it to be minimalistically hinted at.

>>15374793

>General ponders on this, but ultimately tells him to fuck off

And this is where it falls apart. The General knows Sigma is up to no good. Sigma even makes ominous foreshadowing that he'll get his way. At the point Repliforce falls under suspicion, the General should have known it was probably Sigma's doing. Hell, why the fuck was the General having a peaceful discussion with the baddest of all Mavericks, in the first place? He should have been trying to bring Sigma in or kill him, not letting him go to enact whatever dastardly plots he was concocting. That's part of his job. If he wanted to prove Repliforce wasn't worthless, he had the perfect opportunity right there.

>>15374868

>And if Elf Wars are implied then I want it to be minimalistically hinted at.

We would never have gotten anything Elf Wars related before because it would have not involved Inajewnes fuckboi Zero but now who knows? If Megaman 11 is a hit we might get more stuff from X afterall.

>>15374891

Though I agree that it was odd of him to not even warn the Hunters of this, he did consider Sigma's idea, since Repliforce was relegated as a lesser support unit for the Hunter, that probably put a thorn on his side, given how proud he was. Given how quickly the situation tipped over, there were tensions between Repliforce and the Hunters already because IIRC Repliforce proved ineffective against Mavericks, and the Hunters were starting to question why the fuck they even kept these armed reploids around anyway. If General tried to capture/kill Sigma (aka the one dude only X has the power to beat) and failed (which he would) and the Hunters caught wind of that, they'd just clean house and delete Repliforce.

When Repliforce got framed, he just wanted to leave by that point.

Discussing Megaman universe politics is strangely entertaining

>>15374991

That doesn't excuse the fact that he knows Sigma is the most dangerous dude on the planet, and he should have known that increasing tensions between Replicforce and the Hunters was exactly what Sigma wanted. There's being proud, and then there's willingly risking the lives of thousands. Plus, if he was actually so proud, he wouldn't have let Sigma get away scot-free. This is enemy #1. And you're acting like this isn't a universe full of sentimental action. The General falling at the hands of Sigma would have turned him into a hero and martyr, and would have cause the Hunters to recognize Repliforce for their bravery and dedication, keeping them around or even making them into honorary Maverick Hunters.

>>15374978

Wily's greatest creation turns out to be one of the greatest heroes to the world. And strange that X clone in the Zero series becomes one of the worst things to happen to that world. I can see some interesting lore bits that came from Con-Man's flukes. But… Con-man was still Con-man and had no fucking idea what he was doing for the most part.

And as much as decent story telling can bring this lore together, I play Mega Man games for gameplay. X9 really needs to nail the horizontal momentum again.

>>15374273

>and finally an entire series where you don't have a gun.

But that's wrong. Zero does have a gun in most of his playable appearances, it's just not as powerful as X's most of the time.

Games where Zero has a gun: X3, X5, X6, and all Zero series games

Games where Zero doesn't have a gun: X7, X8

All the other stuff you've been saying here is debatable. Since you think the storyline of the X and Zero games is a bad attempt at a mature war story, I'd be interested to know what story you think does it well.

>>15375055

You could object that Zero also doesn't have a gun in Xtreme 1 & 2 or Command Mission, but those aren't a part of the main series. I haven't played the fighting games he's in, so I have no idea if he has a gun there.

>>15374793

>Sigma then sends Double to infiltrate Hunter HQ, erase all records and lines of communication witg Repliforce and further sabotage them with forged incriminating evidence, blocking Repliforce's comm requests to sort out misunderstandings, and finally spy on and assassinate X

yfw you realize how plausible this part is because it's essentially what Dina did to Mighty No. 9 and what SJW community managers are doing to plenty of other games by trying to be the only source that the devs hear from about what the market wants. The whole plot to make Repliforce and the Maverick Hunters go to war probably would have failed if not for this. They could have had basically the same storyline but without having to have Colonel be a hard-nosed dickface if they just had the government view Repliforce as a private militia of sorts and want them taken out due to being more independent than the Maverick Hunters.

Strange thing is I could see a medieval fantasy version of Mega Man in the FAR future after DASH where technology is no longer distinguishable from magic. But then again I've been playing a shit ton of Xenoblade lately.

shit franchise

>>15374203

I actually wouldn't mind seeing a MMX FPS. Although, make it actually look like megaman and give him some cool ass abilities, like double jumping, wall jumping, and wall running, to make the game fast and fun like the 2D X games.

Mega Man games worth playing:

Mega Man 1-7

Mega Man X1-X3

And that's it folks.

What's with that brief X9 talk? Did the collection's sales make it a possibility?

>>15373882

>favorite game: megaman&bass

Explain yourself.

SHUT UP AND POST ROLL

>>15373545

I've noticed aspect ratio is slightly off on the SNES MMX games. MMX4 is censored because muh nazi salute from the repliforce in the intro.

I didn't care much for the challenge mode because the health of the bosses has been buffed several times, so it feels more tedious than fun. Having to shoot a retard like Chill Penguin or Wheel Gator for several minutes with the fourth armor plasma buster is pretty boring.

MMX8 is kinda decent and hard to find by itself at a reasonable price, so that's honestly the only good thing about the collection if you insist on having a copy of that game. Otherwise I'd suggest skipping this and emulating.

>>15375575

Tron and Roll are both pure.

>>15374354

Bro don't give (you)s to someone that uses edgy as a buzzword, that's the kind of shit that made it impossible to talk about any anime where someone dies on /a/.

I'm not wrong and you know it.

>>15374119

LOL TOP FAGGOT

X is overrated mainly due to X being a pussifist and Zero wank.

>>15373545

I have part 1 of the X collection on my Switch and it's great. I didn't buy the second part of the collection because the games in the second half just look terrible. I haven't played X4 yet but I've gotten all the medals and achievements for X1, 2 and 3 and all of those games were fantastic. Don't listen to shills who complain about input lag. It's basically non-existent in the Switch version. Don't know how it is for Sonyggers though.

except the start of X7, apparently

>>15378542

Well, who would the General believe he would be talking to? He's not going to hold an audience with just anyone, especially just anyone wearing hiding themselves in a cloak. And what would be the point of revealing to just us that it's Sigma? It's immediately spoiling a plot twist for no reason.

>>15378851

Yeah, but that game was poorly written even when compared to the worst Mega Man stories.

>>15378922

As someone who first played through both Legends games post 2010, I think you're just a casual. Legends handles fine, because its designed around the controls. Volnutt has really generous auto-aim, and the movement controls are no worse than Armored Core pre-Nexus.

>>15378922

I'll admit that Legends could use some help in the controls department, I mean it's far from mouse aiming. But for a PS1 shooter? It could be worse.

>>15378922

Stop playing it with a keyboard, that's why you're having so many problems.

>>15378972

I played it with a gamepad but almost immediately I noticed the sheer awkwardness of the controls. I'm impressed anyone saw this game as worth remastering or getting a sequel to. I'd much rather see Battle Network get brought back than Legends any day of the week.

>>15378980

Don't tell me you quit in the first dungeon or something.

>>15378980

>I'd much rather see Battle Network get brought back than Legends any day of the week.

I can't disagree more. If anything the reasoning you discussed is why we SHOULD bring back legends rather than BN. You can play BN today, no problem. If you have the roms and an emulator you're fine. Legends though? While I'm not as bitchy about it's controls as you, I do admit they can be a little rough to go back to. That's WHY we should want a remake or continuation of Legends, update the controls preferably leaving the graphics the same IMO and put it on PC.

>>15378976

ASPECT RAIDO

>You can play BN today, no problem. If you have the roms and an emulator you're fine

I wanna see its multiplayer expanded upon along with trading.

>>15379031

>BN Multiplayer

Eh, it'd be kinda like pokemon's if not worse. Which is to say bland and pointless. You'd be better off finding a way to just randomly generate new baddies. Really the only multiplayer that matters is 4x, RTS, and shooters. Everything else is pretty trash.

>>15379053

>Everything else is pretty trash

With the possible exception of meme stuff like VR chat and Goat Sim, but even that is only fun with a friend, and only for so long.

>>15379053

1-3 is rocket tag as fuck, but 6 is actually pretty playable.

>>15373783

>X is for edgy teens!

>>15373882

>no Zero is for edgy teens!

See why you can't get your facts from imageboard spergs? They know shit about actual history and they can only spout memes.

Megaman X was a thorough RE-VITALIZATION of the classic series for next-gen systems, in a time when the formula already felt stagnant. Players and reviewers commonly stated that the series felt fresh again, and a direct evolution to the previous mechanics. Furthermore, what seriously impressed was adding stats and replayability to stages, which gave it a light coat of rpg. The supposedly 'edgier' nature was never mentioned, simply because in the 90s kids weren't all whiny faggots like today.

The Zero series was an altogether different beast. It was a RESTAURATION of old platformers to counter modernity, and was marketed specifically as an unforgiving, nintendo hard platformer. Before From Software farted their memegames to Xboxtards, there was cutting your teeth on Aztec Falcon. It also came out at the time of metroidvania's grand revival, before indie trash drove that once noble genre into the ground. Any supposed edgyness of the storyline comes, of course, from your utter ignorance that it's ripping off Alita.

>>15379093

I'll take your word for it

>All these roleplaying homos calling shitty rpg spinnoffs and overhyped 3d games with worse-than-tank-controls better than the original platformers

You disgusting niggers.

>>15378972

Beating Legends 2 with a keyboard was one hell of an experience.

>>15374506

The problem with that is that that shit isn't explained in the fucking game.

>>15375795

No, I mean why is megaman & bass your favorite game?

Powers should have more variety than just shooting them in a line. Give Megaman some of the bosses attacks.

>If you could revive one of the canceled mega man games, which would it be?

Don't care anymore

So if Battle Network is internet world version of Classic and Star Force is internet world version of X, then would you want an EXE/StarForce version of either Zero, ZX, or Legends?

>>15379979

I just want Legends 3, man.

>>15380154

>>15378657

I honestly think the input lag complaints come from faggots that can't git gud and need something to blame their failures on. I have the PS4 version and haven't had any issues with input lag.

I imagine these games cause a lot of rage for soyim that have only played modern vidya that hardly puts up a resistance against the player.

>>15380500

I have beaten them all in the classic legacy collection and there is input lag you just have to get used to it and that's not difficult. When it comes to the X legacy collection that you're talking about I don't know.

Here's the input lag video in question. I'll contain my autism and not rant about the shit the collections take out and all the technical issues, or the retarded decision to give X5-X8 their own $20 collection.

>>15378922

I only played Legends for the first time last year. Loved it. People complaining about the controls are retards. It's a perfectly fine control scheme for a shooter. Nothing else would have worked better for the game.

>>15379878

More like a string of active disdain towards mega man fans followed by giving your ip to a group of people who clearly don't respect your source material. Tells me capcom no longer cares for this franchise.

ZERO IS GAY AND SHIT

Just sayi'n

>mega mongs

>>15383672

Oh baby

Is there anything that caters to score chasing or survival in Mega Man hacks or something? I really liked the endless mode in Mega Man 9 and 10.

>>15383752

I don't like that a lotta stuff is being held hostage these days, unless this is some how more transparent compared to generations of vidya ago. That said I'm not super worried in this case, hasn't the classic series generally been more well liked than the X series?

>>15383752

Dunno why they keep saying this stuff. That’s generally how it works and the two articles that have come out about it (this and the Soul Calibur one) are for games that already have a considerable amount of interest and hype from a core audience.

>>15383752

I wish they would've given the developers time to finish X7, but because they didn't everyone thinks the whole concept of 3D Mega Man X was shit instead of something that needed to be given the proper consideration to work.

>>15376033

>Capcom has a habit of releasing games before they're done.

This. If X9 does get made, they'll probably update it similar to how MM11 looks updated instead of trying 3D again. X9 should be a 3D game as full-featured as any other major AAA title would be expected to be in order to be a serious contender in the modern market, but god knows they won't do that, and even if they did it would be a train wreck because they'd rush it out the door.

>>15383823

I'd rather see the mega man x concept stick to 2D, while I think there would be room to explore the abilities of each character in a 3D space there are already some games that do a good job of it, and as far as mega man games go, legends would fill that niche (if they would ever develop in it again.)

>>15383836

This. And whenever they have a different idea they just make a new Mega Man, name him something else, and give him his own game series, like has been done a dozen times. Stop fucking with the formula for solid games and keep them consistent.

>>15374506

I'd hate to reply to the same post again, but it's been bugging me for a while. This plot element isn't in the game, and it's not in the manual, but sites like the Mega man wiki and wikipedia include this info.

However, both sites don't cite the source where this information is from. Does anyone here know?

>>15384011

Did you check any Xtreme 2 docs? She also appeared in that game.

>>15384026

I checked the manual in that game. It's not there either.

>>15384097

Then, if there is a source, it's probably some obscure magazine interview or alternate media like an audio-drama.

>>15383752

>>15383752

Holy shit guys. I didn't mean to use my autism wizard powers like this!

>>15384106

Can't be an audio drama. I believe only Mega Man Zero had those. It could be in the japanese manual.

>>15384144

You try finding scans of the Japanese manual. Bonus points if it's translated.

So… I have this crazy idea I wrote down for a 3D Mega Man game. The game is about shifting between two camera perspectives. Default camera is a surround camera that you control with right stick or mouse that lets you see more around you. You can only shoot what is directly in front of you in this mode. The other perspective is an over the shoulder aim that works kinda like a third person shooter with movement. You can tap the camera (default-L trigger) any point to center it behind you or hold the button to go into shoulder aim. Any time you need to drop your aim you release the trigger.

Also Mega Man has a charge shot and a melee kick. Any enemy that is too close to Mega Man he can kick (separate from buster and sub-weapon attack). It isn't strong, but it knocks the enemy away enough you can unbalance it and shoot. Or you can kick them into spikes or hazards if you're smart. But if you hold a charge shot then kick the enemy you will perform a Mega-Upper that combines the raw attack power of a charge shot with melee force. There's two levels of charge shots by default.

Yes you can dodge roll out of the way by tapping, not holding, the jump button. Dodging is simply jumping horizontally. It doesn't grant you invincibility frames. It's more like quickly dashing out of the way. You'll be relying on using your surroundings with cover and your sub-weapons to get around hoards of enemies and bosses. This is a shooter with lots of movement and jumping.

Either this would be my control scheme for Legends 3 or a new Mega Man series with different lore and mechanics. I like the open design of taking any robot master in any order, but I love the exploration and treasure hunting in Legends.

>>15385337

Why does reddit have to turn every fun trading card style game into "Fox only, no items, Final Destination".

>>15403186

The problem is that by X8 the MMX series is pure trash and you get too tired of its bullshit. I wonder how good it would actually be if it was released during the era of good MMX games.

>>15404970

So considering I’ve only ever played X4 (a loooong time ago) and MM1-7, should I play X1-5 then skip right to 8 so I don’t have a tarnished opinion by the time I get there?

>>15405057

What stopped you from playing 8-10?

>>15405057

X5 is X4 but filled with awful design decisions yet not broken like X6 and X7. IMO you can safely skip it.

Also 9 is pretty good if you don't mind it being Mega Man 2 II

>>15405057

Play 8, X1, X2, X3 and X8.

>>15405106

haven't beat 7 yet, but I'm on the last boss. I plan on playing them all then reading the comics I hear so much about.

>>15405159

I have a weird love for X5 as I rented it as a kid from blockbuster but wasn't able to play much of it for some reason. I always thought it was cool though so I've got some nostalgia glasses there.

>>15405242

Might be worth doing. That way I start the series on the most middling game and only have up to go from there.

>>15405057

X5 is kinda worth playing but I wouldn't call it mandatory. Play X6 if you enjoy being angry at shit games. I haven't played X7 or X8 to give a recommendation either way, but X7 is hardly a megaman game.

I've never played 8, but 9 and 10 are worth it. There are 8-bit demakes of 7 and 8 that might be better than 7 and 8 themselves.

aesthetically classic is cute

x is ugly clusterfucks except for x8

Hoping X9 gets a decent plot without the edgy bullshit. Also would love to have Monster Girl mavericks.

Also this idea just suddenly came to me. Sorry for second post. What if the ultimate cure for the Sigma virus ends up being Cyber Elves themselves.

Also what if a prototype of the Cyber Elf programs becomes the new parts system in the X universe? Something more simple and less complex to get. Also do you want to see different armors return?

>>15395002

>Yeah the only problem there is that I don't have thousands of dollars to go to school to learn what the fuck to do.

>I'm just a faggot that likes games.

Yeah you're definitely a faggot

>>15406074

>What if the ultimate cure for the Sigma virus ends up being Cyber Elves themselves.

Pretty sure that's actually the case according to the Zero series, starting with the Mother Elf.

>>15406074

>What if the ultimate cure for the Sigma virus ends up being Cyber Elves themselves.

Cyberpace is like reploid heaven, where their AIs go when they get shutdown, or when they get fed up with life, as was the case with X. The safest method to get rid of Sigma is to blast him off into space.

>>15383759

That is sort of just how game development is in terms of a business perspective, I just think companies are opening up about it to bait people into buying games without doing their research.

Now that streaming platforms like Twitch are commonplace, people can get unfiltered opinions and live game footage. Publishers can't get away with just buying off reviewers anymore. I don't think being open about sales influencing sequels is there for transparency as much as it's an attempt to force the hands of buyers that may be on the fence.

I've also been seeing another scummy tactic with the upcoming Langrisser collection where they replaced artwork from a famous artist with some second rate shit, but you can get the original artwork as "free" DLC if you buy the release edition of the game. They're pretty much saying "you better just buy the game as soon as you can instead of seeing what else we fucked up."

>>15406010

I still want the rest of the megaman series to get the powered up treatment. At least we have the megaman limelight fangame for 1 and 2. Shame the creator died before he could finish 3.

>>15407147

Oh absolutely, and not in just the pervert that likes cute things way, playable bosses and challenges just for them are fantastic.

>>15407302

Megaman is the least interesting thing in his own franchise. Playing as the robot masters is great.

>>15407544

You could've just used Thunder Bolt to stop him from firing the homing orbs.

>>15407551

Yeah, I saw some guy trying to do that and it looked like more trouble than it’s worth. He’d sit there and fire out a spring, pause, and fire the lightning. The best guy I saw would sit there and dodge in between Wiley’s shots perfectly and switch his powers mid dodge (vid related). Personally, I wish I could play like that guy does but I don’t hate my method of beating him. It practically guarantees a perfect run on him but the tedium is rough.

Anyways, onto MM8 now. I believe this one is the game people dislike the most out of the classic series so I’m keeping my expectations in check. Dug the opening and cheesy voice acting though.

>>15407566

100% correct.

>>15411516

Proto Man has a slide and a charge shot but he takes double damage/knockback and has no shop. He's more suited for replays because of the extra difficulty and the fact that he doesn't have any cutscenes or ending. You can either acquire the DLC or beat the game (or use a cheat code) in the Legacy Collection if you bought it for some reason. While you're at it, try endless mode. It's the best thing 9 introduces.

How's the soundtrack for MM11? I thought the wub-wub sounded horrible in the trailer.

>>15416009

I don’t mind it, definitely getting a clown man vibe from him and his stage though. Also, at the moment I’m just happy the double gear system didn’t completely curb the difficulty and actually adds to the game in some interesting ways. It’s a gimmick, but it’s a neat one. I imagine some of the perfect runs where people don’t use it at all will be really fun to watch.

I guess either update unofficially with something like http://archive.is/u8Wbz and use AutoRCM to preserve your 4.1 fuse count for a future downgrade, or wait for something new to pop up by next month. All the Mega Man games on Switch so far can be installed to 4.1 by ignoring the required firmware but they may update the master key revision for 11 so you'd absolutely have to update to a higher firmware.

X gets back the Ultimate Armor from Command Mission, sees something that would benefit from having the living fuck blasted out of it, shoots a laser out of both his busters, his chest cannon, and his shoulder guns, and they combine to form the most uber beam of ultimate annihilation anyone has ever seen in the history of mankind.

It work would be amazing ifa fan ported it to the 3DS.

>Widescreen

>3D

>Multiple checkpoints

It had so much potential and it's all lost.

>>15433552

Care to explain?

>>15433552

>Widescreen

Pointless nitpick. Widescreen means enemies and moving platforms are faster.

>>15433552

The stage is apparently significantly longer than usual so having an extra checkpoint makes sense. I still haven't actually played the demo. I'm fine with 3D graphics as long as I can tell where the platforms and characters are. That crane mini-boss would need a shit-ton of frames to smoothly spin around in 2D. Mega Man's run still looks wrong but that's mostly a problem with timing and posing. I don't see any inherent issue with widescreen.

>>15433727

That's only if you stretch a game that's already in a thinner resolution. Otherwise the screen is just wider. I believe one of the "making of" videos mentions that the view is slightly shorter and slightly wider compared to the NES games.

>>15429575

i mean, if u ain't by now….

>>15436026

That's a strange design philosophy but makes sense. 4:3 ratio is taller than 16:9. 16:9 works better for 3D games due to the action being in the center. Where in 2D games the action is all over the place.

I noticed Blockman's stage is incredibly lateral to compensate for the wider screen. I wonder how verticle stages are going to work. For Mega Man X they can still use slopes to give a sense of verticality. Outside of 8 I have yet to see slopes in classic Mega Man.

>>15436026

I think one thing that worries me is the power gear. It seems like the speed gear outputs way more damage so there isn’t a lot of reasons to use it.

I downloaded the demo recently but havnt played it yet. i dont really like the new artstyle in most cases.

is the gameplay good? what megaman is it similar to?

>>15436135

Probably 4 or even Powered Up would be a good comparison, but it has a bit more difficulty than those two. It honestly plays really good even if you don’t like the style. I think the moment you get to the robot masters select screen you’ll feel the reverence for the old mega man games.

>>15436201

nice, im not a fan of the artstyle, but its not ugly. i just hate how the levels and megaman look. the enemies especially the bosses look really great.

>>15436108

Power gear looks to have more utility with sub-weapons. Have you tried those yet?

>>15436211

It looks a lot better in front of you. Also, the levels change as you go through them in neat ways, for instance, in the demo level it starts out as day time, then shifts to evening about half way through, and by the time you reach the boss it’s night.

personally I’m really happy with the style but that’s subjective.

>>15436317

Not a lot actually, seems to really up s. thunder but it doesn’t really affect p. driver all that much as it’s a one hit killer either way.

>>15436334

Pile Driver gets double range. As for power it'll have to be tested on a boss to gague.

>>15429575

No offense but how the fuck can you get 4 or more game overs over a demo, which is just a few of the first levels?

>>15407566

100% correct, however it is arguable to put X4 in Great tier. X and X2 were better.

>>15436603

I could see it. When I played the first Mega Man I was dog shit and just couldn’t get the feel for it. It took a fat minute before I got accustomed to old school platforming as I was so used to new vidya. If you just jumped into the 11 demo after a only playing new vidya for a couple years I could see it giving people trouble.

I bet journalists will actually knock the difficulty due to being to prideful to turn it to the easiest difficulty where they belong.

>>15436639

The first Megaman has some genuinely tricky parts, particularly the disappearing blocks, and the flipping platforms in Gutsman's stage.

>>15385286

Didn't DnB reunite?

>>15444277

Who is that supposed to be? Some other Roll? Or is it the copy robot?

Dr. Light finally fullfilling his twin fetish.

But that's what makes her so great: two twins where one of them is cheerful and the other is snarky and sarcastic? Muh dick.

>>15451624

>rokko chan

Never heard of it. What's so must play about it?

Megaman 2.5D looks cool. I'm gonna try that one.

IMHO, Rockman 4 minus infinity is must play. I know, it's a rom hack, not a fan game. Same difference. It might as well be a completely different game.

>>15455448

It’s a real good mix of classic Mega Man and X, I’ll upload the downloadable version in a bit.

>>15425542

Slap on two buster upgrade and Ultimate Buster in Xtreme 2 and you get the same thing.

>>15456165

IIRC X is like 160cm. That makes Sigma about 195cm.

Imagine Sigma playing basketball.

I'm itching to create more monster Mavericks for fun. Just thought of Syphon Alraune who summons roots that drain your health. The weapon is Syphon Vine which works like a whip in Castlevania, but grapples the enemy or projectile. For projectiles and small enemies you can throw them back. For larger enemies you latch onto them and pull them or be pulled, but while holding the whip you drain enemy's energy at the expense of ammo. Whip can be shot forward or directly upward and can tether onto hooks to swing.

>>15460360

It's worth one play through but not as good as the original X.

>>15460369

Gotcha

>>15455448

>>15451624

Everybody always talks about Rockman 4 Minus Infinity, but everyone forgets about the masterpiece that is Rockman CX.

>>15460360

It's one of those rare cases where the remake was really good, but not good enough to replace the original. It's mostly the same, some items are in different location and many jumps are made easier. The final stages are also very different and you face bosses in a different order. Also, the normal arm part was nerfed and the Zero arm part is different this time.

Vile mode is interesting, but somewhat frustrating in how it ends. It's clearly not canon anyways, but for some reason you're not allowed to fight Sigma.

You could honestly play either one and really should play both. But given the choice of only one, I still prefer the original.

>>15460360

Vile Mode is the best part of the game, by far.

Like other anons said, the remake is good, but the original is better.

>>15451624

Megaman Unlimited is worth a play. My only real gripe with it is that the stages are long as fuck but otherwise, it oozes quality. It has a Zero mode too.

Megaman Dongs is good, but it's never going to be finished. Still, it has some really good stages with solid gimmicks.

MM4 has some great romhacks like Minus Infinity, which is probably the best romhack ever made and Burst Chaser X Air Slide which is Megaman 4 but fast as fuck.

>>15460360

Vile is actually the original Rockman, who grew contemptous after being left behind and forgotten before/during the birth of X :^)

What game is that? Reverse search is being a bitch

>>15467095

Recently played Rockman 3. In nip it says he ran away before scheduled shutdown during the ending, but nothing about what you just said.

>>15467095

Why does protoman expect frail humans to fight a battle they can't possibly win against superpowered robots?

>>15467585

You still haven't answered me, fucko.

That's okay Anon

The ZX games were my favorite games in all of Mega man's lineup.
