Title: Your favourite and least favourite Megaman game
Post by: Stardius on February 13, 2010, 11:28:34 AM
I got this idea for a topic and thought it could be interesting, hopefuly it is not already somewhere around here, because in that case I couldn't find it  XD

Anyway, you know that there are Megaman games you like to play and return to them over and over again, and there might be games, you just played and said "meh". I pretty much can see, that everyone will put X7 on their least favourite, but at least try to pick something else sometimes  XD


Favourite: Megaman 5
Maybe the reason could be, that I grew up with it and the fact that the game itself is quite easy, so I keep returning to it and searching for things I can challenge myself with.

Least favourite:
Megaman ZX Advent
Not really that bad, but I just felt empty after beating it and from about half of the game onwards it wasn't really challenging but mostly just frustrating. The last level expecially made me go nuts with that last segment before final boss, and when I got to it I had already 0 lives from those spikes so you can probably imagine what came next  XD

I think taking a thread like this on a by-the-series basis would be a lot easier.  But for now:

Favorite: MegaMan Legends 2
Visuals, voice, music, challenge, story, pyromania, lots of unique bosses, and most importantly, the Bonnes.  What is not to love about this game?

Least favorite: MegaMan Xtreme 1
Bringing the X-series to GBC was an admirable effort, and I am a sucker for nostalgia, but what sense is there in cramming bits and pieces of two SNES games together on inferior hardware with virtually no original content?  Attempting to write replays into the story wasn't the most seamless move, either.  The capsules suck and the instruments are ear-splitting.  I am, however, thankful for two things about this game.  One, that it got Sensei to draw the X1 armor (which is badass beyond all sane reasoning).  Two, that it spawned a sequel which is infinitely more awesome in every way.

Favorite: Megaman X. Megaman 2 comes close because I've played so many ROM hacks of MM2 and haven't gotten tired of them yet. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD MAKE A HACK FOR MMX THOUGH!!! SERIOUSLY!!

Least Favorite: MMX7. I hate it. The End. X8 is much better, but I didn't really like it.
Besides X7, I think MM1/MM3/MM4(Rockman World) on the Gameboy weren't that great.

I don't play favourites.
But I do pin [parasitic bomb] on X7.

Quote from: Hiryu
I think MM1/MM3/MM4(Rockman World) on the Gameboy weren't that great.
And yet you skip over one of the worst, ear splitting, visually displeasing of the GB series, II.

3 and 4 were really well done, but damn that 2 for being a pile of [parasitic bomb].

EDIT : List of Rad's least favourites : X7, ZXA, 8, II (GB) and Hi-Tech Expressions' DOS games.
I think that's about all, can't think of any others at the moment.

Hard to say which is my favourite, as I like almost all of the ones I've played.

My least favourite'd have to be split between the two MM DOS games--both are more mazelike than I care for, are devoid of music, and have iffy controls. 3PC has those damned laser turrets of death, doom, and despair, so bonus negative points.

I hold megaman 3 as my personal favourite game, probably because It's difficulty level is great and the music in the game is the best in the megaman series.
My least favourite MMX7 because i hate end of this game. This game is bored me.

No bloody exceptions; this game is awesome all around. Great music, weapons, stage layouts, bosses, story, atmosphere, mechanics, difficulty; everything is PERFECT.

Least Fav: Tie between Megaman X6, any Legends, and ZXA

My favorite is MegaMan 3, tied with MegaMan 7. (I'd like to amend ZX, Z4, X, EXE 2, and X6. to this list.)

My least favorites are MegaMan 2 and MegaMan 9. MM9 for the lack of ability to save after Wily Stages (Which MM10 fixed) and MM2 for 3 things, The Boss that could only be killed with crash bombs, Using the same boss music through the whole game, and being Capcom's favorite, which has made it the model for MM9 and MM10, which is just plain stupid to me, I like having the slide, and the charge shot is nice for enemies that take more than 5 shots to kill.

(Amending with MMSF2, EXE4, and X5.)

Rockman Dash 2. - I love basically everything about this game. Even tough some things were pissing the [tornado fang] out of me, I still say it's one of the best games I ever played.

Rockman 3 - I played this as a kid. I still love it.

X4/X5 - Wuv them.

Rockman & Forte(SNES) - I love this one as well. My first of the non-nes Megaman games.

EXE 3 - OH MY GOD SO MUCH [parasitic bomb] TO DO! x5

Zero 2/3 - OH GOD HOW MUCH FUN! x2

Favorite: Mega Man X (SNES): The very first Megaman game that I've played. Everything of it was so memorable, the music, the stage settings, etc.

Least Favorite: Mega Man Zero 4 (GBA, coming to DS soon): It's not that bad, but it's just not the best, however it was a good way to end the Zero series. The weather change part was really not necessary. I think it just had a little bit of a bland feel to it. It's still an okay game, but it itsn't as good as it's predecessors.

Post by: MoiBakaDesu on June 16, 2010, 09:15:44 PM
I still have to play a lot of the games so ...

Favourite would be Megaman X 5 and Megaman 8, I gues my love for X5 lies in the fact, that it was the first game that I actually beat.

I don`t have a game right now, that I really hate or anything but my least favourite would be Megaman ZX because I got so confused about where to go, I couldn`t stand it. That map simply made no sense to me sometimes.
And the feeling from those newer games is kind of off, too, but that`s a different story.

Post by: Soultrigger on April 20, 2013, 03:15:35 AM
yay for necro'ing (well, not like anythings happened recently for Mega Man) :(

Favorite: X2
+emphasis on speed in the stage design
+huge flexibility in stage order for item completion
+favorite armor

Most hated: StarForce 2
-encounter rate is too freaking high, traveling across Sky Wave was incredibly annoying
-virus battles are tedious ("didn't kill enemy in 0.10 seconds with triple kill? lol rank 7, enjoy 500 zenny") <- exaggeration but you get the point
-Tribe King is ridiculously stupid, both conceptually and aethetically

By the way, by "favorite" and "most hated", I'm simply choosing the game based on the impression they left me.
Objectively speaking, there are much better games than X2 (e.g. X1), and there are also worse games than StarForce 2 (X7, BCC, etc.)

But between all the horrible games and StarForce 2, at least those other games I can derive some sort of ironic or masochistic pleasure. StarForce 2 was just bleh for me.

Favorite: Network Transmission.  Really cool mix of the Battle Network and Classic series, and the first "classic-style" game in a long time after MM&B, before MM9 came out anyway.
Least: X6.  A garbage game where everything that could have gone wrong went wrong.  The only redeeming factor is that it has a good soundtrack, but I can listen to that on its own without having to submit myself to the torture that is this garbage game.
Title: Re: Your favourite and least favourite Megaman game
Post by: Hypershell on August 21, 2013, 02:49:54 AM
"Everything?"

X6 did not have a boss Zero with only two survivable attacks, did not kill Zero in the same boss explosion effect that he and X stare at a dozen times a game (and certainly did not do so while Zero was off-screen and said effect happens in X's face), did not structure itself with the intent of withholding X's final non-Ultimate Armor until the worst possible stage to use it in, did not start X with what was effectively the end-of-game secret power-up missing one attack, did not feature a ranking system that punishes you for destroying enemies, did not structure itself to forbid access to at least half of all Power Up Parts at all times, and it made the Z-Buster useful against something other than giant taxis.

That's just off the top of my head.

Not sure what this is referring to, but with how many imbalanced boss fights there are in this game I don't think having a less-than-crappiest Zero fight makes up for it.

Quote
did not structure itself with the intent of withholding X's final non-Ultimate Armor until the worst possible stage to use it in, did not start X with what was effectively the end-of-game secret power-up missing one attack
Yeah, instead the game was designed solely around X's falcon armor and made it impossible to beat as unarmored X (or impossible to beat if you lost critical parts).

Quote
did not feature a ranking system that punishes you for destroying enemies
No, but its reploid rescue system was even more game-destroying.

Quote
did not structure itself to forbid access to at least half of all Power Up Parts at all times
No, but everything else about the structure of this game is garbage, so I don't see this as a plus.  It's like saying "This ice cream sundae may be full of razor blades, but at least there's no poison".

Quote
and it made the Z-Buster useful against something other than giant taxis.
Zero's totally broken in this game--I wouldn't call that a point in the "great game design" column.
Title: Re: Your favourite and least favourite Megaman game
Post by: Cherrykorock on August 21, 2013, 03:49:34 AM
X6 is mediorce at best.
Frustrating for non fans.
Irritating for most fans with a handful of people defending it like its the triforce.

For every thing it does right it does something equally wrong.
You can get power ups that are great and useful, but unless you already have it memorized you dont know who has what and you might lose it if the wrong guy dies.

The levels have some great ideas for locations and most of the time you feel like that place could possibly exist (within reason). Yet there is so much [parasitic bomb] on the screen to constantly deal with you cant really enjoy it.

The story is engaging.
This is the first time they made a real effort to show how X feels.
That is the game's redeeming factor to me.
Its always nice to be able to empathize with the main character and truly feel connected with them.

Yes in many ways it is better than X5, but thats like comparing Fantastic Four to Rise of the Silver Surfer. Better doesnt mean its good.

If it werent for the poor collision and sloppy controls as everything else is really a matter of whether you like harder games with small error margins.

Title: Re: Your favourite and least favourite Megaman game
Post by: Police Girl on August 25, 2013, 07:31:49 AM
I had a list somewhere on here earlier.

Its not accurate anymore, so I'll be changing it.

Classic Series (Divided into two sections since I find the 8-bit games play differently from the other ones):

Favorite 8-Bit: MM3, did so much right and is a decent challenge even to this day.

Least Favorite: MM9, Capcom nostalgia wanking, going backwards on advancements in gameplay (Only keeping rush and the speedier ladder climbing from later games.)

Favorite Post 8-Bit: MM7, Wonderful music, fun weapons, great ending. Always a blast to play.
Least Favorite: MM&B, specifically the GBA version. Lame music, unrelenting difficulty, bullshit dash controls (SFC version didn't have this problem because of a dedicated dash button. [tornado fang] command dashing.), Bosses have far too much invulnerability time.

X:

Favorite: X2, perfect blend of good levels, freedom to play the game with as many or as few upgrades as you want. Truly the best 16-bit X in many cases.

Least Favorite: X4, dull music, probably the worst X armor (Weak hover that only works for a few seconds, [parasitic bomb] buster, Helmet was the only good thing about it.) X doesn't have much in the way of story or significance to the story, probably only there because it wouldn't be an X game without X.

Zero:

Favorite: Z4, Ended the story in style, kept most of the enjoyable extended cast around, added a few more, good boss battles. Rankings optional finally.

Least: Z1, this doesn't mean its a bad game, it did a lot of things really well and did some original stuff like an almost completely connected world. But the ability to fail a mission and lose access to it entirely is a downside, and leveling weapons up to use their charge attacks or complete combos is not fun in the least.

Battle Network:

Favorite: BN6, probably one of the best Navi customizers, decent story, great chip selection, cross system is good.

Least Favorite: Tie between BN5 and BN4, Mediocre Navi Customizers (In BN4's case awful since its the one with the least freedoms, thanks to no Compress codes.), Story in BN4 is almost nonexistant thanks to the game being almost entirely tournaments. BN5 has painfully dull Liberation missions, story is okay. Dark Chips in both games are essentially worthless save for in BN5 for chaos crosses. Soul system is a lousy replacement for the Style Changes of BN2 and 3.

Starforce, ZX, and Legends all get excluded from this as ZX only has two games and I never played the entirety of Starforce or Legends.

Post by: Gauntlet101010 on August 26, 2013, 08:28:23 PM
Favourite?  Well, that should be obvious.  4 would be my favourite after 3.

Least favourite?  I remember really disliking bn4.  It has a really great, engaging story .... and then it stops right when it gets interesting and gives us a whole bunch of "filler" coupled with the most overused of all anime plots - the tourney plot.  I don't know who thought reusing the same old maps with obstacles counted as a new dungeon, but it was a horrid idea.  I began using a "no battles" and walk through walls code just to get the game done faster.  It only got back to the actually interesting Dark Chip plot right at the end of the game. 

I'd say I dislike bn4 more than even the PC games.  I've played the PC games more than once, not so BN4.  With them at least you know what you're getting into; they don't masquerade as good games.
Title: Re: Your favourite and least favourite Megaman game
Post by: AquaTeamV3 on August 31, 2013, 07:56:20 PM
Favorite: Legends 1 (2 as a close second), X2, MM8

Least Favorite: BN4, X5

Yes in many ways it is better than X5, but thats like comparing Fantastic Four to Rise of the Silver Surfer. Better doesnt mean its good.

Pretty much this.  X6 has it's fun moments and I replay it occasionally, but IMO there's no defending it.  Most, if not all of the criticism it gets aimed at it is fully deserved.  There's tons of objectively bad/rushed level design present that no amount of player skill can cover up.

Least Favorite: X4, dull music, probably the worst X armor (Weak hover that only works for a few seconds, [parasitic bomb] buster, Helmet was the only good thing about it.)

Really? I dunno how X4's armor is any worse than X3's or the Glide Armor.

Really? I dunno how X4's armor is any worse than X3's or the Glide Armor.

X3 had the Upwards Air Dash and the Buster was kind of cool at least. The Helmet was the least helpful thing but the chip that recovered health was a neat idea. The armor itself had that Barrier that I don't fully understand the purpose of, and the Gold Armor/Chip upgrades were novel ideas that I enjoyed playing around with.

The Ultimate Armor in X4 was fine most of the time thanks to infinite Nova Dashing, but I still dislike the Plasma shot most of all X Charge Shots, mainly because all I ever saw it do was CHINKCHINKCHINKCHINKCHINK whenever it hit an enemy, not really doing much in the way of extra damage thanks to the large cooldown the enemy would have between hits. That bugged the ever loving [parasitic bomb] out of me.

That bugged the ever loving [parasitic bomb] out of me.

I didn't find the pinging nearly as annoying in X4 for the simple fact that bosses actually took recurring damage from the Plasma Shot.  X5/X6's Ultimate Armor was pure grating on your ears though.  As for X3's barrier, IIRC you took less damage after being struck for a limited amount of time (in addition to the normal armor damage reduction).  Without the chip part the barrier reduced damage by an additional 25% (62.5% total reduction), and with the chip part the barrier reduced damage by an additional 50% (75% total reduction).  Honestly X3's armor would be darn near perfect if the Buster didn't suck so much.
