X1 and X2 are annual replays for me. hell, every few months, honestly.

X3 fills me with this strange feeling of malaise, like i'm playing through an unsettling fever dream. the game is a mess. the instrument samples they used in the soundtrack sound terrible compared to the first two games. the big flickering orb that forms around you every time you get hit after you get the armor upgrade is super annoying. there are too many additional collectibles/upgrades. the secret gold armor is ugly. etc. it's cool that you can have X get Zero's saber at the end of the game though.

X4 on the other hand is incredible and it's the game X3 should have been.

everything after that sucks.

This, all of it. X3 is a turd sadly, and the "anything after 4 sucks" rule applies to the nes games and the mmz games as well.

3. Mega Man X2

One of my favorite Mega Man games, probably mostly due to nostalgia though after reading a lot of the very valid complaints from imps.

06) mega man x 5 (ps1, all hearts, subtanks, and armor upgrades with x)

this is the only megaman game one of my friends as a kid had so i have nostalgia for it despite retaining basically no knowledge of the details of it. went in wanting to be a contrarian and like it, but it's basically indefensible lol. it has some Ideas but they're all executed incredibly strangely and not explained adequately or at all, and it's all weighed down by some truly awful stage and boss design (on top of it retaining the x4 problem of the bosses having too many iframes). it's kinda neat that you start out with x4's upgraded armor even though they nerfed plasma shot. falcon armor's kiiiinda cool but underpowered feeling and gaea armor is mostly terrible. i wish the ultimate armor was like a combination of the strengths of both new armors instead of literally just the cheat code armor from x4. and on top of all this you get interrupted every 10 seconds by a tutorial character telling you to jump on the platforms. It's Bad. best boss music in the series though. anyway i'm done playing mega man x games

1 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 5 > I Do Not Wish To Play The Rest Of This Series

respect for seeing it through, rest easy knowing that they somehow get so much worse.

found the issue

My headphones were set to record audio(???) lol. I disabled that and we figured all was good but the echo persists :shrug:

. Also I can stream no problem with OBS but the twitch login it is using is not recognized by twitch, so I can't login to twitch even though my channel is streaming with the echo. 2024 is my year! *looks at calendar* lmao
