basically my reaction to every n64 game back in the day. After what beauty we had on SNES turned into polygonal gray muddy mess which looks completely dead on n64. How i fucking hated that console. Everything looked like a massive step down or downright bootleg.
12:41 “Nothing’s broken....well except him.” “BURN!” The best joke in this review. XD But after playing this game when I got the Legacy Collection, I can see why people hated this game. While I still think X3 is the weakest in the series, this one was one I was so bored that I didn’t bother playing it again after finishing it. Trust me, Johnny, Megaman X8 is a HUGE improvement over this game.
@@setsers1 It's true I rather play X6 and X3 over this. I get that the 3D mechanic was well intended but there should've been no reason why this game is so boring.
At least Red is a better name than Gate. Seriously, what does his name even mean? Red, yes, his outfit is red, and he is the leader of Red Alert, that makes sense, but Gate's name makes literally no sense.
What makes Flame Hyenard infamous is his catchphrase "BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND". Everytime a new line plays, it interrups the previous one. Resulting in a series of Insufferable screeching!
As boring as X7 is, I really love its soundtrack, particularly Gungaroo's theme, Sigma's theme, and Code Crush. Also, apparently Red was a former member of Repliforce, which to my knowledge isn't mentioned in the game. The story and voice direction could've been handled a lot better in X7. These voice actors have been way better in games like Bomberman and Tekken.
thats weird that red being part of repliforce(possibly giving a hint to axel's creator) was not shown in game since outside of him not wanting sigma to hurt axel and his men when he controls them(which is the one thing alongside the ingame showing of x's potential being the one thing i liked about the story.) red just felt like a random thug(which i get is the point since the world is still recovering from the eurasia and nightmare disasters so crime gangs would take advantage of it with axel's abilities helping get an edge.) with it being confusing to me if the mavericks we fought are part of red alert or random criminals.
Looking at this gameplay made me think...what if we had a Megaman X game in the style of a hack and slash like Devil May Cry or Metal Gear Rising or something that sounds awesome
I like this review because it mirrors exactly how I feel about X7. It may be the worst of the X games right along side X6, but it still has it's highlights. It's slow, the voice acting is shit, and the camera angles are awful, but ultimately I say it's still worth a playthrough and if you're a die hard fan of everything Mega Man Like myself, it's fun to come back to once in a blue moon, but I also still understand why people hate it. Honestly, if it were simply sped up x2 it would be a decent title.
isaacplayer42 he came pretty damn close tho on multiple occasions with different games. Remember Shadow and 06? His rants during those two were... something else.
@@gamermanx3096 To be fair, all of those were in the past when getting really angry over bad media was all the rage. Nowadays, reviewers are a little more professional even though they still keep the humorous stuff.
This game has multiple endings. Depending on who kills Sigma, you'll see Axl eager to prove himself and X whining, Zero fearing X turning evil, or... X whining and Axl eager to prove himself.
I hope so as well. I want him to shit on it so badly. The games have appeared 3 times on the channel so far and my knee keeps jerking whenever I see it.
U1GX it’s a bad JRPG series that nonchalantly makes fun of games and anime, etc. I used to be a fan, but I recently dropped off when I realized the heart of the series was long gone.

"They release some Mavericks under Red Alert captivity" As far as I can recall, they're actually OTHER members of Red Alert, with the possible exception of Flame Hyenard. They are, however, most definitely infected with the Sigma Virus, but the extent to which varies, as some of them seem completely normal (Soldier Stonekong, Vanishing Gungaroo), while others are far, far gone (Assuming he's a member of Red Alert, Flame Hyenard is the perfect example of this).

The X-Buster is doing more damage to this guy than his actual weakness.” (Air Forces) “Alright, this is actually a stage I can get behind. This is cool!" (Tunnel Base) “These Ride Armors are awesome!

What the hell?” “Alright Sigma, time for your _seventh_ ass-whooping.” (Remembers a trick Clement used) “Pfft-hahaha, wow, Sigma’s PATHETIC in this game. I’m seriously stun-locking this dude!” (Final boss) “Holy shit, X’s charged Splash Laser rapes Sigma in half!” (Ending) “That has got to be Sigma’s most humiliating defeat yet. Falling out a window?” X: “He [Axl] must not be rewarded for using such methods!” Me: “Dude. Did you seriously forget that you’re a Maverick HUNTER? Killing bad guys is literally your job.” “I CAN TURN ON AUTOFIRE IN THE OPTIONS?! THAT WOULD’VE BEEN NICE TO KNOW _BEFOREHAND!_” (Afterwards) “Well, that was a thing. Definitely had several bullshit moments and was overall boring, but nowhere near as bad as the fandom says it is. I’d sooner go back to this game than X3 and X6, and I don’t care HOW they respond to that.”
I do like how Johnny went in non bias and gave it a fair review and didn't rant about it the whole time. He had both positive and negative things to say about the game and gave this game the honest review it deserved. Wasn't disappointed
I'm actually really excited for you to cover the Zero games for the GBA because I never played Mega Man much as a kid because I was so bad at them, but one of the Zero games I remember playing a lot and actually doing really well. Years later my Mega Man Fan friend told me this was VERY odd because the Zero games are so much harder than traditional Mega Man games, so...I dunno. Looking forward to it. Keep up the great work.
Based on this videos comments I think it's safe to say even if John had plans to ever ever look at the series, it was called off. Jesus Christ these comments are filled with vitriolic hatred.
JotaroPowered Johnny show he got two Neptunia games donated to him when he did his Vs Naruto clash of ninja video which was part of the 2nd donator marathon. He said he might look into the those games during a anime marathon. So really it will happen when it happens. Just don’t expect it to happen anytime remotely soon.
They're mostly lazy rehashes and garbage nobody asked for the further you go down the release catalogue, imo I'd prefer it if he reviewed a franchise with more to talk about
12:17 You know Johnny, the way that this entire sentence was phrased could possibly make it sound like you want people who aren't aware of Flame Hyenard to burn to the ground.
I think the real reason you couldn't immediately use Armor Parts you get in X5 and X6 is because if they did let you, you'd probably lose the armor parts you were wearing when you get a part for a different armor. For example; you got the Blade Armor Boots, and you play a level that has the Shadow Armor Helmet, so when you get it, the armor overwrites what you have equipped, so now you don't have your Blade Armor Boots until you go back to the Stage Select screen. It'd be better if you could equip parts from both armors simultaneously, but their designs wouldn't go well together. It'd look like a mess. Thankfully in X8, you can equip parts from both armor sets, since the Neutral Armor has a modular design that blends the armors together without clashing too much, at the cost of making Neutral, Icarus, Hermes, and Ultimate look the same with only a difference in colors,
X7 has always been an enigma to me. I do kinda have that "A Bad Game is worse than a Broken Game" mentality which is why I'd always say that X6 is worse than X7. But revisiting it this past week to get footage of it... phew, I think I'm starting to go back on that mind-set, and your video perfectly explains why. Everything feels slow and clunky, and when a game leaves me uncomfortable and boring before even beating the intro stage, I know that's not a good sign. Really not looking forwards to finishing this game.
If a bad game is worse than a broken game, then shouldn't that mean X6 is better? X6's design is fundamentally broken, the level design expects you to do things that are impossible for you to do at certain points, and as Johnny showed the game has serious glitches. X7 is technically sound for the most part, but an absolute chore. As a result, I also enjoy X6 more. To put it one way, X6 has more personality. It's like Sonic 06 vs Sonic Boom. Sure, 06 is a buggy, unfinished mess, but it has so much potential that can be seen underneath it, and if the game had the proper amount of time to cook then it would be fairly average, if not decent. But Sonic Boom from a game design perspective is tedious, repetitive, slow moving, and uninteresting, no amount of polish could make that game fun.
Nerdy George Washington I don’t find Rise of Lyric’s voice acting horrible (if anything, its amazing. Also, my compliments for being the start of Amy’s voice actress not sucking completely). The problem is that I can’t appreciate the great voice acting when the characters cannot stop saying the same stupid one-liners every 5 seconds. And while the presentation as a whole sucks in Rise of Lyric, especially in Co-op mode, at least the pre-rendered cutscenes have great animations, something I can’t say for X7. That’s not to derail your argument about 06 being the better title because I agree with you. I’m just saying that I don’t think you are giving RoL credit where it’s due (for whatever the credit is worth)
Ugh. Mega Man X7 was easily the worst X game for me. It and X3 were the only X games I straight up did not like when I did my X marathon earlier this year. The game is pretty dull and it was full of frustration, particularly when I went for 100% completion. Whoever decided that reploids needed to die in 1 hit is evil. It wasn't too hard except for Flame Hynard and the one stage where it's like a spiral stair or something. (NOTE: Thanks for that Bomb tip, Johnny). This is easily the X game that's the most annoying to 100%, and I don't really recommend it. I liked Axl well enough, especially when I turned on the rapid fire. Axl and X were my main team for a majority of my playtime. But, they all felt like pale imitations of what came previously. The game just isn't fun, I can't stress that enough. I hate all the bosses, with their reptitive voice clips and tedious patterns. I hate this game. It isn't quite the same hate as X3, that I hated more for the frustration factor. X7 was more hated for being boring and visually dull, though frustration is a prime factor. I can understand why people don't like X6, but I'm surprised people will say it's worse then X7. I can see it somewhat, but I disagree. I don't have much else to say about X7 other then repeatedly saying it's terrible, Johnny covered most of my problems with it. X7 was the lowpoint for my X marathon, thankfully X8 ended things on a positive note for me. Don't bother with this, unless you want to experience the entire series like I did.
Oh, I'm not saying X3 was as terrible as X7. I'm not that crazy. I was just saying it and X7 were the only X games I didn't like when I played through them.
I'm currently doing my own playthrough of X7 on the Legacy Collection. And while the game is indeed frustrating at times, I'm finding it enjoyable. I even rescued all the hostages and unlocked X halfway through the Mavricks. Granted, I did restart a couple of levels and had to use Rookie Hunter in the 1st few stages, but still felt accomplished. But yeah, the menue system is unnecessarily tedious.
Zero's voice sounds like a disappointed parent. I swear in the intro stage, listen to when he says "What's going on?" When the stage boss drops down, he sounds like he's scolding his two children for the fifth time.
One small thing you can do to speed up bosses is set the region from US to UK which for some reason gives you a 20% boost in overall damage. For some reason the US release reduces all your attacks and weapons damage by 1 which adds up on bosses, but the JP and UK version have the original damage values intact, which is great because of the Region Select feature on Legacy Collection.
And here we go, a third time. This is really interesting, I wonder what would have happened if this change was never made. A simple damage reduction/increase doesn't really do much to game design (cough Zelda Hero mode cough), but it sure would get people to shut up.
Man this is an impressive looking PS1 game.
Wait, what do you mean this is a PS2 game
*I never remember Playstation 1 graphics looking this great*
*goes back to playing Mega Man And Bass*
I don’t really like the style of PS2 graphics, but X7 is just so fucking gross to look at, especially the original release

“Why are the Ride Chaser controls grimy ass-cheeks in this game?!”
(X rejoins)
“Well, look who finally decided to pull up his big-boy pants and get his damned head back in the game!”
(Cyber Field, gravity inversion segments)
“Fuck this.”
[Turns Switch upside-down, controls are still messed up]
(Snipe Anteator)
Anteator: “You can’t build a utopia on the graves of rebels such as myself.”
Me: “He’s got a point, you know.”
X: “But...Even so...I... I must follow my beliefs!”
Me: “...That’s your comeback, X?”
“Wow. The X-Buster is doing more damage to this guy than his actual weakness.”
(Air Forces)
“Alright, this is actually a stage I can get behind. This is cool!"
(Tunnel Base)
“These Ride Armors are awesome! It reminds me of Eggman’s levels in SA2.”
“Okay, this is my favorite level in the whole game. I can actually come back to this!”
(Crimson Palace)
“Jesus, Red’s fight drags on!”
“They don’t even heal you afterwards? What the hell?”
“Alright Sigma, time for your _seventh_ ass-whooping.”
(Remembers a trick Clement used)
“Pfft-hahaha, wow, Sigma’s PATHETIC in this game. I’m seriously stun-locking this dude!”
(Final boss)
“Holy shit, X’s charged Splash Laser rapes Sigma in half!”
(Ending)
“That has got to be Sigma’s most humiliating defeat yet. Falling out a window?”
X: “He [Axl] must not be rewarded for using such methods!”
Me: “Dude. Did you seriously forget that you’re a Maverick HUNTER? Killing bad guys is literally your job.”
“I CAN TURN ON AUTOFIRE IN THE OPTIONS?! THAT WOULD’VE BEEN NICE TO KNOW _BEFOREHAND!_”
(Afterwards)
“Well, that was a thing. Definitely had several bullshit moments and was overall boring, but nowhere near as bad as the fandom says it is. I’d sooner go back to this game than X3 and X6, and I don’t care HOW they respond to that.”

"HENLY" "BERINDA" "HOLY"
A+ translation job.
I do like how Johnny went in non bias and gave it a fair review and didn't rant about it the whole time. He had both positive and negative things to say about the game and gave this game the honest review it deserved. Wasn't disappointed
Technically, TECHNICALLY I STRESS... Nothing's broken. Except Him.
Flame Hyenard: BURN!
I know why X doesnt want to fight.......he doesnt want to suffer fighting Flame Hyenard
That's enough to make me not want to fight.
If MMX6 is the Sonic 06 of this franchise, MMX7 is definitely the Sonic Boom.
On Axls copy ability: This is never clearly stated in the game itself, you become invulnerable to all enemies of the same type you copied.
I'm actually really excited for you to cover the Zero games for the GBA because I never played Mega Man much as a kid because I was so bad at them, but one of the Zero games I remember playing a lot and actually doing really well. Years later my Mega Man Fan friend told me this was VERY odd because the Zero games are so much harder than traditional Mega Man games, so...I dunno. Looking forward to it. Keep up the great work.
I saw Nep. I want more Nep.
Based on this videos comments I think it's safe to say even if John had plans to ever ever look at the series, it was called off. Jesus Christ these comments are filled with vitriolic hatred.
JotaroPowered Johnny show he got two Neptunia games donated to him when he did his Vs Naruto clash of ninja video which was part of the 2nd donator marathon. He said he might look into the those games during a anime marathon. So really it will happen when it happens. Just don’t expect it to happen anytime remotely soon.
@@Chad_Eldridge neptunia the goat. Series deserves respect.
NEP-NEP 4 LIFE, BABY!!!! WOOOOO YEAH!!!!! 😀
They're mostly lazy rehashes and garbage nobody asked for the further you go down the release catalogue, imo I'd prefer it if he reviewed a franchise with more to talk about
God. You do not believe how long I've waited for that nice outro theme to come back.
I’d love to see a review on the Deception series. Pretty dark game about sacrificing people and all. Very different type of gameplay.
12:17 You know Johnny, the way that this entire sentence was phrased could possibly make it sound like you want people who aren't aware of Flame Hyenard to burn to the ground.
I think the real reason you couldn't immediately use Armor Parts you get in X5 and X6 is because if they did let you, you'd probably lose the armor parts you were wearing when you get a part for a different armor.
For example; you got the Blade Armor Boots, and you play a level that has the Shadow Armor Helmet, so when you get it, the armor overwrites what you have equipped, so now you don't have your Blade Armor Boots until you go back to the Stage Select screen. It'd be better if you could equip parts from both armors simultaneously, but their designs wouldn't go well together. It'd look like a mess.
Thankfully in X8, you can equip parts from both armor sets, since the Neutral Armor has a modular design that blends the armors together without clashing too much, at the cost of making Neutral, Icarus, Hermes, and Ultimate look the same with only a difference in colors,
Another reason was prob to cut down on the number of spites to make.
X7 Sigma: "That's right, folks! I'll do it again and again!"
Developers: "Maaan, this is so COOOOL, right!!"
Players: _S i g h . . ._
So X is basically Luke from Last Jedi. Sorry, one last bad joke
That makes way too much sense
Except, in Last Jedi, it wasn't bullshit.
0:55 is the most beautiful image I’ve ever seen
X7 has always been an enigma to me. I do kinda have that "A Bad Game is worse than a Broken Game" mentality which is why I'd always say that X6 is worse than X7. But revisiting it this past week to get footage of it... phew, I think I'm starting to go back on that mind-set, and your video perfectly explains why. Everything feels slow and clunky, and when a game leaves me uncomfortable and boring before even beating the intro stage, I know that's not a good sign.
Really not looking forwards to finishing this game.
If a bad game is worse than a broken game, then shouldn't that mean X6 is better? X6's design is fundamentally broken, the level design expects you to do things that are impossible for you to do at certain points, and as Johnny showed the game has serious glitches. X7 is technically sound for the most part, but an absolute chore. As a result, I also enjoy X6 more. To put it one way, X6 has more personality. It's like Sonic 06 vs Sonic Boom. Sure, 06 is a buggy, unfinished mess, but it has so much potential that can be seen underneath it, and if the game had the proper amount of time to cook then it would be fairly average, if not decent. But Sonic Boom from a game design perspective is tedious, repetitive, slow moving, and uninteresting, no amount of polish could make that game fun.
Nerdy George Washington I don’t find Rise of Lyric’s voice acting horrible (if anything, its amazing. Also, my compliments for being the start of Amy’s voice actress not sucking completely). The problem is that I can’t appreciate the great voice acting when the characters cannot stop saying the same stupid one-liners every 5 seconds. And while the presentation as a whole sucks in Rise of Lyric, especially in Co-op mode, at least the pre-rendered cutscenes have great animations, something I can’t say for X7.
That’s not to derail your argument about 06 being the better title because I agree with you. I’m just saying that I don’t think you are giving RoL credit where it’s due (for whatever the credit is worth)
I rather be playing an boring game than an game that's fustrating.
1:01 I'M STILL LOOKING FOR THIS DARN COMMERCIAL
*Insert “BURN TO THE GROUND” joke here*
BURN!
Irregular Oreos
Freeze To The Sky!
Tri-Formation!
I can't get enough of his intro. So fucking catchy.
The darkest beast has been tackled
How did X’s voice actor go on to do the voice of Spring Man from ARMS?
Better direction I guess.
Ugh. Mega Man X7 was easily the worst X game for me. It and X3 were the only X games I straight up did not like when I did my X marathon earlier this year. The game is pretty dull and it was full of frustration, particularly when I went for 100% completion. Whoever decided that reploids needed to die in 1 hit is evil. It wasn't too hard except for Flame Hynard and the one stage where it's like a spiral stair or something. (NOTE: Thanks for that Bomb tip, Johnny). This is easily the X game that's the most annoying to 100%, and I don't really recommend it.
I liked Axl well enough, especially when I turned on the rapid fire. Axl and X were my main team for a majority of my playtime. But, they all felt like pale imitations of what came previously. The game just isn't fun, I can't stress that enough. I hate all the bosses, with their reptitive voice clips and tedious patterns.
I hate this game. It isn't quite the same hate as X3, that I hated more for the frustration factor. X7 was more hated for being boring and visually dull, though frustration is a prime factor. I can understand why people don't like X6, but I'm surprised people will say it's worse then X7. I can see it somewhat, but I disagree.
I don't have much else to say about X7 other then repeatedly saying it's terrible, Johnny covered most of my problems with it. X7 was the lowpoint for my X marathon, thankfully X8 ended things on a positive note for me. Don't bother with this, unless you want to experience the entire series like I did.
I’d still take X3 or X6 over X7 any day. 3D just doesn’t work for some games but at least they tried.
metalmario991 what’s wrong with X3?
So, we have similar opinions then. I hated X7 and X3 as well and think X6 gets too much hate. (although, I would never say X6 is good, I enjoyed it)
I'll never understand this X3 hate. To even fathom that it is bad on the same level of X6 or X7 is outrageous.
Oh, I'm not saying X3 was as terrible as X7. I'm not that crazy.
I was just saying it and X7 were the only X games I didn't like when I played through them.
I love the spinning Sigma at the end xD.
It looks like he's a ride in a theme park rather than the fearsome lord of the mavericks xD
15:39 Sigma: "WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
Congratulations Johnny, you survived the "BURN! BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!" part!
I'm currently doing my own playthrough of X7 on the Legacy Collection. And while the game is indeed frustrating at times, I'm finding it enjoyable. I even rescued all the hostages and unlocked X halfway through the Mavricks. Granted, I did restart a couple of levels and had to use Rookie Hunter in the 1st few stages, but still felt accomplished. But yeah, the menue system is unnecessarily tedious.
It's not frustrating and in places, it's kiiiinda fun
Johnny sums up my issues with this game right here 10:19
Zero's voice sounds like a disappointed parent. I swear in the intro stage, listen to when he says "What's going on?" When the stage boss drops down, he sounds like he's scolding his two children for the fifth time.
X in this game kinda sounds 3like Rodney Copperbottom.
Fitting, I suppose.
John: Technically, nothing is broken...expected him.
Flame Hyenard shrieks: "BURN!"
Finally someone giving a well structured opinion without just going into the trend and calling x7 pure trash right away because everyone thinks so.
Just two games left, and we get ready for the Spyro marathon.
This game should *BURN! BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND! BURN!*
0:56 Neptune! And awesome video as always Johnny
Hooo boy this should be fun.
One small thing you can do to speed up bosses is set the region from US to UK which for some reason gives you a 20% boost in overall damage. For some reason the US release reduces all your attacks and weapons damage by 1 which adds up on bosses, but the JP and UK version have the original damage values intact, which is great because of the Region Select feature on Legacy Collection.
And here we go, a third time. This is really interesting, I wonder what would have happened if this change was never made. A simple damage reduction/increase doesn't really do much to game design (cough Zelda Hero mode cough), but it sure would get people to shut up.
