    Axl really is the Silver the Hedgehog of the Megaman X series. He’s actually not a bad character and does bring a unique energy to the series, but because he was first introduce in X7 of all things, of course he was going to get some of the blunt force of the backlash. Didn’t help that X himself was locked for most of the game, so you were pretty much forced to play as the new kid:

      There are some awful pieces of music in this game (e.g. anything played in a menu) but at the same time there are some great tracks. The OST is really the game's only saving grace IMO. Also, X8 gets WAY to much credit. Yes, definitely an improvement, but if it didn't follow this train wreck people would be a lot more harsh. Also, screw Capcom for taking out the damn money trick - will only play X8 on PS2.

    About the Timeline: It's been stated in an interview that Command Mission is to be treated as a "Separate story" from the continuity. X1 - X8 are all part of the same timeline. But Zero's ending in X6 is ignored because you know, gotta make more games.

      @MinhLe19303 2 года назад +7

      Zero's ending in X6 is there to leave a plot point for the Zero. I think it's more of a concept teaser ending to foreshadow that Zero would get seal away sooner than later.

      I think it still works if you just pretend it happened later instead of instantly after X6.

      Funnily enough, it is one of the games you can finish faster because you can literally run past most of the enemies and the bosses can be cheesed if you know which weapons are the good ones.

    I mean...a lot of people say that X7 is less frustrating than X6, but I think my first playthrough of X7 was one of the most miserable experiences I've had with a video game. I just remember it being gut punch after gut punch, from running out of lives on the intro stage and having to do it all over again, to dying over and over to that God-forsaken plane section in Wind Crowrang's stage and having to watch that 15-second-long cutscene *every single time,* to not knowing what I was supposed to be doing for almost all the mavericks, to my heart sinking at the thought of re-visiting Stonekong's stage for an item, and being absolutely broken by the Red boss fight. I could go on, but I don't want this comment to come off as too long. Meanwhile the only terrible things I remember about my first X6 playthrough were the castle stage bosses taking too many tries.

    • @lokasocba
      @lokasocba 2 года назад +6

      X6 have some moments of unfair difficulty, and X7 have some moments of such a poor design it can be extremely easy and difficult at the same time. I mean, take for example the planes stage, you can take a lot of damage and or fall to death with ease if you try going slowly and take down all the enemies. Or you can just dash past most of the enemies and go straight to the boss.

    • @thegreatgonzales6813

      They're both bad, like really really unbelievably bad, but I'd rather play X7 solely because there's a lot less unfair bullshit in it (It's still there in some areas though). X6 takes less time if you know what you're doing, but holy fucking hell does the game just love to fuck you over every single chance it can get. I hate them both, but where X7 is a miserable soul-sucking experience, I find X6 to be an unfair blood-boiling one.

    If people's excuse for the game having slow and stiff characters is because it was running on the PlayStation 2, let me remind you of some games that showed off why PlayStation 2 was king doing its duration. Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 ran smoothly on the PS2 (even the slim version) and they had A LOT of animations, dynamic in-engine cutscenes, well directed English voice casting, and considerably fast movement of characters. The GTA games ran very well and had very large spaces to explore. Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2 allowed for fast-paced combat. The problem with this game is that they went from 2D to 3D without seeming to consult the people who made the MegaMan Legends games on the PS1.
    EDIT: People are mentioning a lot of different games on the PS2 that ran amazingly well, which I all agree with and feel bad for not mentioning. X7 has no excuse for the condition it came out in compared to all these games on PS2. I do not think playing new game plus as X should excuse how horrible X7 came out.

    Axl’s genuinely my favorite of the hunter trio, he’s got a cool design and fun attitude. Unfortunately his debut in this game wasn’t great and his English VA in this game was way out of her element.
    Also X7’s soundtrack is way too good, I actually like the stage select themes and most of the Maverick themes more than X8’s. Code Crush is an absolute banger too, definitely my favorite vocal track out of all the X games.

I like to try to rescue all the reploids that I can (except the dude in Metal Shark Player's Dyanmo area; he got himself in that mess, as far as I'm concerned, he can get himself out of it), but in this game they all get killed by getting breathed on too hard. Plus Wind Crowrang's level and Red's boss fight, and the stupid gigantic health bars on hard mode... I just can't stand this game.

    That idea about the additional heads being "akin to his final form in X4" makes sense when you realize his first form is sort of reminiscent of one of his forms in X4 too, which featured a purple machine with Sigma's head in it that held a purple gun not unlike the one he uses here. also the reference to X4 would fit given Red's history with Repliforce.

  • @hiropisku1078
    @hiropisku1078 2 года назад +3

    I just had an interesting idea here. What if there was a difference in gameplay between Axel and X. Axel would be the "Better to put them down route" while X would be "Capture and try to save them from being maverick". Zero would follow the lead of whoever he was put with. If Axel was in charge, then they get item parts to upgrade themselves while X would unlock areas that weren't accessible before.
    Also, before someone mentions it, I know that the mavericks are Axel's friends but it'd be more of a mercy killing/playing to the beginning characterization of Axel being cold blooded. A respect relationship where they both have different goals but know that this is just business and not to regret whatever outcome happens.

    That isn’t even too funny, but then it’s very likely he’ll get hit again from the aftermath of the blast and it just breaks me.

    I didn't even know that there was a New Game+ in this trash fire... But then again, I was so frustrated with this shit when I was younger that I quit playing it for probably 4 or 5 years before finally deciding to finish it off, and the ease of Sigma's two forms compared to the entire rest of the game made me glad to never put it back into my PS2.
    It's so weird to hear of people getting tired of the "Mega Man formula" when nowadays it feels like people finally settled into a niche of expecting a game to be a certain way. Really nitpicky critics are the only people I ever see give a game a hard time over being "samey" or too similar to its predecessors, there's not much that needs to change about being a blue robot that shoots other robots for being bad guys.
    If anything, I'd say that the formula got mixed up as much as it ever needed to in X5 - Swaping out characters on a per-mission basis was cool... saving reploids and getting power-up parts, however, was something that frustrated the piss out of me and I ended up never using power-up parts because of it... It's weird to attach a system like that to a game like Mega Man in general, I think. As a result, I didn't know about the stuff you showed off in this video and probably made X7 a much more miserable experience than it needed to be, but I'm a simple man and I just want to run towards the right and shoot things.
    All of that said, I agree that this game is generally better than X3. They both have a lot of the same problems, imo, this one just gives you ways around those problems. I really dig how Zero and Axl get different physical weapons depending on the special weapon they're using, and that's something that really set Axl apart, though I still wish he had been a reformed Dynamo instead of his own unique character - the transformation gimmick wasn't used enough to justify him.
