The entirety of X5 was worth it for this track alone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3qYAvmiKRs And then Sound Holic made this pretty amazing vocal remix of it, engrish notwithstanding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxnG1-BZGyk Wish there was an instrumental version of it, though.

Captain Invictus posted:The entirety of X5 was worth it for this track alone X5 was an alright game, but pretty much everything involving Alia loving ruined it. And yes, I was one of those sperglords who loving hated the Gun 'n' Roses names. I've grown to accept them over time though, especially after learning that Neon Tiger's stage music from X3 came from a Guns 'n' Roses song. And yes, that track does own. Wanna hear an instrumental version played with electric guitars and two pipe organs. Speaking of fun MMX music facts, the music from Grizzly Slash's stage in X5 (which also owns) was based on the soundtrack from the movie Speed. Specifically, the part where they have to jump the bus over that gap in the overpass. If you listen, the 6-note melody in Grizzly's stage music is basically ripped straight from the movie, key and all, and set to a slightly different rhythm. The More You Know!

X5 would be much better if they simply removed the tutorial messages and made the "correct" boss weapons do much more damage, or at least not give bosses up to like 5 seconds of invincibility frames. The boss names owned. Anybody who doesn't like Duff McWhalen is a shitlord.

That poo poo was so dire. The entire point of boss weaknesses is to make them easier to beat, I shouldn't be punished for it.

The entirety of X5 seems like a fever dream whenever I try to remember it. It's just a blur of guns and roses, zero/sigma viruses, dynamo, and NES-era localization Engrish. The story segments always blur into an incomprehensible sequence with no relation between them. Zero was fun to play as though. Cool guys played Zero. Wannabes played as X.

X5 is at least better than X6 and X7 but that's not saying much X1, X2, X4 supremacy forever (X3 is also okay)

And I'll still go to bat for liking X5. And X6. And X3 for that matter. Really, all eight games had something good in them, even if the first PS2 entry had to be an RPG for some reason. It was still pretty fun though, and I should go back and finish it someday.

That reminds me, I should probably go play that first PS2 X game. How is it? I have a copy but I never really played that much because I was trying to juggle it and 2 PS2 RPGs at the same time and it kinda lost my attention in the face of SMT Nocturne and Devil Summoner 2.

Don't play X7, don't do it. X6 and X7 are really, REALLY bad. The X RPG is kinda mediocre and bog standard JRPG but it's not totally awful. I just got bored and lost interest in it though. You could do a lot worse, but you could do a lot better, too.

Command Mission is a pretty fun game, it doesn't change anything up, and it's just middle of the road, blase entertainment, but it's a fun little distraction where you can level X, Zero, Axl, and assorted other characters up, and they threw in a variety of in-game gimmicks and converted them to RPG format. It's not great, but it's a fun little diversion, even if there is a certain character who is just the absolute worst. Easily the best X design in the series though. Really want to see that make a comeback.

The writing is bad and X looks stupid as gently caress. The mechanics are fine but not mind blowing. And the game is mercifully short by JRPG standards.

Being a resource for said game that has it in my brain better than the entirety of GameFAQs, Command Mission is worth playing once until you get bored of it then you stop because it's fun but if you get tired of it you're not going to enjoy it anymore.

Because he actually looks like he's matured and become a, well, commander, now. With built-in brass knuckles when he just gotsta punch someone.

How much better would Command mission have been with timed hits and dodging? I mean, how do you make an rpg from a platformer and not do that. I don't think any other such game did not have at least a bit of a timing element.

Would it be possible to hack x6 so that there's no permadeath for civilians because the game would still not be perfect but be so much better without having your first playthrough of every level require you to constantly kamakaze yourself saving the loving reploids if you didn't want to possibly be locked out of items.

However, feel free to look up "Our Blood Boils" because that's actually an amazing song nobody heard because it required you to stick it out until the Sigma fight.

I still can't believe they made and published a Mega Man X game that requires you to beat half of the bosses in order to unlock Mega Man X himself. Just...... WHY!? Why did they think this was a good idea? Ever?

It's not required to beat the bosses. The two ways are beat all 8 bosses or rescue 64 Reploids. You can just suicide out of a level after rescuing the Reploids in it. Not that either is a good idea on Capcom's part.

It's also probably the only game in the series where X is the best of the available character options, Zero has strong attacks but for some reason they took away the speed he had in previous games(though his double jump is still useful in parts, making him decent to have as a partner) and Axl doesn't get good until X8.

Based on the screenshot I assume he got killed just as he landing a finishing blow on the boss. quote:ZX, which is the best MegaMan once you get over the dumb metroidvania implementation. Pft. ZX is like Zero only not quite as good.
