Listening to one's fanbase can be very good, but depending on the fanbase, it can also backfire due to said fanbase being in disarray. But hey, here's hoping that it works out in the end. Maybe then I can get a Sonic CD 2 as well! XD

What, don't tell me you didn't even have a GC/PS2 for X Collection :P

Well by then I already had a PS2 and immediately went and bought the game for the collection.

X4 & X5 I first played over at Lou's house, due to my lack of a PS1! That X5 Devil story is still one of my all time faves! XD

I'll rephrase:  He may eventually play X6, but I doubt he will stay with it past 20% completion.

If it has a Dash Button and plays like X4 & X5, I shouldn't have a problem with it! I mean, it's not like X games are hard!  8)

Now now, everyone, behave and let's have some non-locked thread fun, okies? :3

But I can still post in locked threads!   8D

Actually, I will happily end it here, since I won't even be able to read the responses till next Monday night, most likely. PB is ON VACATION!  0v0

Ever plan on playing X6? Or is that also on your list of "too stubborn to play"?

Got nothing against X6. It fell into the Legends category of "games I never got a chance to play due to not owning system" phase. I'll get around to it one day.

The one who has no freaking idea what hes talking about when he says Xtreme 2 is "just as shitty" as Xtreme 1?

LoL, bingo!

Also, you keep misreading. I said "pretty much just as shitty." The "pretty much" part denotes that while not thinking Xtreme 2 was worse than Xtreme 1, he still hated it. Next time I bring it up, I'll say "almost just as shitty!" Will that help?   8D

You wouldn't.  Did you not gather from my post that I was referring to an unintentional button press?  That's what happens when large hands hold the Wii remote sideways, B button gets in the way easily.

.......I have large hands and that's never been an issue with me.  I mean, unless you have hands like A-Rod or a basketball player, then maybe! XD

I figured you wouldn't, but I don't really care.  If you think I'm honestly trying to change your mind, think again.  I say again, I just get bored. :P

Which is why I always love bringing this up. It's hilarious!  8)

Never once in Xtreme2 will you cancel out of a support unit because some moron decided to leave the weapon switch on the back side of your controller.  Neither so will you ever dash directly into a pit because of some inexplicable game-enforced dash-jump lag.  That's two counts on which MM10's controls are a LOT shittier than Xtreme2's, and you don't see me boycotting that game.

And never forget the Ultimate Buster.  It's like RMRM Blues, except in a game that doesn't otherwise suck.

.....it's classic MegaMan. Why would you even use the weapon switch button on the back of the WiiMote instead of just pausing and selecting your weapon......or for that matter, not use the Classic Controller, GCN, or the even more awesome Classic Controller Pro if that were even an issue?  Hey, what a novel idea.....controller options!  XD

LoL, and why bring up a weapon which I know nothing about, you know, being that I haven't played the game, nor said weapon having anything to do with the controls?

Also, Save your breath Hyper- He is clearly bent on never playing it for the dash controls meaning a lack of Dash wall kick meaning he cant play it how he likes to, and because Lou thought it was as shitty as Xtreme 1. (although that is a comparison that really deserves a magical fish /Zee uppercut)

Hahaha. You should know full well that nerds do not know how to save their breath!

I don't doubt it, but I get bored.

Seeee!  8D

Quote
Just to reiterate what Flame said, Lou is wrong.  Period.  Whether you like Xtreme2 and whether it is superior to Xtreme1 are two different questions.  Xtreme1 has no air-dash (which adds a LOT; with proper momentum it makes dash-wall-kicking obsolete) and uses Select as a dash button, which is completely senseless.

And yet again, who's opinion do you think I value more? Go on, guess?  8)

Quote
What value is there in the controls that redundant saber skills seek?

Fish Fang, FTW.

Beats me. I didn't play a whole lot of the game. Bumpy bus rides meant lots of GBA deaths with platformers, so I never got around to it! Hopefully the train ride is smooth coming home from my trip this week, so I can play my newly bought Zero Collection.

Quote
You must really hate Hyper Dash.

*in The Most Interesting Man In The World Voice*

I have no idea what this is!

Quote
And uh....Xtreme1 has an auto-dash-wall-kick.  Not my idea of a good upgrade, but I'm just saying, it's there.

Auto meaning I can't control it. Bravo! XD

Quote
Wow.  Just, wow.  I never knew that Vix sucked that badly.  And this is coming from somebody who found a unique way to die on MM10's Easy Mode, for God's sake.

If you're going to blame an Xtreme2 death on something, you could at least blame it on the screen size.  Anybody who honestly got killed by Xtreme2's control setup, well, I can't imagine how the Zero series doesn't eat them alive.

Perhaps she was complaining about the screen size, or the fact that it was on an emulato.....wait, you died on Easy Mode in MM10?  How is that even possible?

So- ironically, theres more chance of PB playing Xtreme 1, other the one of the two which is actually good?

Also, may I add, in the Xtreme titles, X at least- seems faster than on the SNES, even without the dash. His normal walking speed alone has GOT to be at least 1 percent faster than usual. which makes dashing alone something not exactly necessary.

Clearly, there's no chance! I'm actually loving the fact that you two keep trying! It's hilarious! XD

Well I think I will purchase and enjoy Other M.

I'm hoping that Nintendo World has some kind of cool Metroid: Other M launch event that I can go to when I pick up my game. I gotta say, even though I'm not the hugest Metroid fan, like the majority of people in the thread...



I still kinda want this every time I walk into Nintendo World. What's dangerous is that I can "technically" afford it right now too!  8D

O^O Wha? Huh?

That's because I didn't suck at all.

PB please, this isn't funny anymore. Stop embarrassing yourself. =3=
Don't use myself as bait into thinking I suck at a game that I really love so dearly.

Please say you're sorry. O^O

Perhaps I was mistaken in what I saw and saw you type, so my apologies! Heh, it's not like I can prove it anyway! XD

Oh Ive never played Legends myself. I was juuuust getting into Megaman when Legends was out, and I just didnt care about it. only NOW do I regret that, considering finding a COMPLETE copy of both games costs just as much as a brand new game nowadays. And not only am I lazy, but low on cash to buy them.

Well if you're ever interested, I know a store in the city that sells both of them.

« on: August 16, 2010, 10:03:46 AM »
Surely as a Megaman fan you have to have SOME urge to play or "try em all" dont you? At least it works that way for me. I heard X7 was bad, but I wanted to play it anyway to see what I personally made of it, despite others opinions, no mater how "expert".

Nope. No urge whatsoever. That's Ninja Lou. He will play every series game, no matter how much he hates it or how much it can [acid burst] him off, and he will suffer through it and beat it because he's "hardcore" like that. I am not that type of gamer. No matter how much I love a series, if a game frustrates me, I simply put it away and never touch it again.

Also, I do not have the time that my younger, less responsibility plagued youth afforded me to play games anymore. I still have to play through the Zero series (I should pick up that DS collection for my trip) and finish the Legends series (and before you jump on me for this, I never owned a PS1 and I got a PS2 later than a lot of people) and plus new games just keep coming out, like the soon to be released Metroid: Other M game. So my gaming time is somewhat limited.

However, my point is, you cant say its a "shitty" game when it all boils down to simply your opinion on control schemes. The game is far from shitty, and If Lou says its shitty, probably for the same reason as you- the same goes for him.

Um, actually I can say it's a shitty game, because I think it has shitty controls, thereby making it a shitty game. Isn't it amazing how opinions work that way? LoL, and as I have stressed the past 2 posts, I trust Ninja Lou's opinion far, FAR more than yours or anyone else on this board. being that he has been playing MM games before some of the people on this board, including you if I'm not mistaken, were ever born. I've known him for a good 17 years now, and if he tells me the control scheme is shitty, and that it is a shitty game, then that is all the proof I need.

Quote
You could say, "I think it has a shitty control setup" or something similar, but you cant exactly say the game is shitty when youve never played it, and when there is not much complaint over the game being shitty. X7 for example, is generally widely accepted as being a rushed game that should have baked some extra time in the Cap-Oven.

Oh but I can. If the testimony of one of my longest known MM expert friends wasn't enough to convince me, I actually watched Vixy stream it on her Justin.TV channel, and it looked horrendous, with her complaining about the controls at times during her live stream, dying due to limited shitty controls. That's now visual proof, as well as a minor complaint at times as well as a major one from my longest known MM playing friend. They have told & shown me reasons why never to play the game, and you and ShellIris have yet to provide a solid argument as to why I should play a limited game over the SNES/PS1/PS2 X series games, other than "It's got better Dash Mechanics" and "PLAY THE DAMN GAME ALREADY, PB!" XD

Quote
And yet Xtreme 2, while people may berate it for its graphics or sound, (or dare I say it- control setup) otherwise is hailed as a generally good game. Maybe part of that comes from how bad Xtreme 1 was, granted,  but thats still doesnt mean the game itsef isnt good. the game itself is pretty damn good. Feels just as good as the SNES games.

Hahaha, bullshit. If it felt as good as the SNES games, I wouldn't have a problem with it. If they remade the game for the DS or PSP, or hell even the GBA, I wouldn't have a problem with it. IN FACT, THEY DID REMAKE A SNES GAME FOR THE PSP. It's called Maverick Hunter X, and guess what? I didn't have a problem with the control scheme at all! Can you guess why? 8D

Quote
My overall point is really, in the end, against you calling it an overall "shitty" game just over your preference of controls... To me, its just as stubborn as the X7 deal. (except, X7 IS somewhat shitty. I like it, but I cannot deny its failures.)

And my point is that I can call it whatever the hell I want. You yourself just said that it "has the simple misfortune of being limited by its hardware" and it is that limitation of controls (not graphics or sound) why I think it's a shitty game. I don't play X7....or soon didn't play X7....because the main character of the series, X, had to be unlocked. It has nothing to do with the controls of the game, the sound, etc. It's a stupid reason based entirely on stubborn principals, and I fully admit to it! However the Xtreme games will never be played, not due to story, character, or principals, but rather because the X style of MM game play is not suited for an NES controller, and I cannot play it like a true X game, therefore making it shitty in my opinion.

is it Lou whos making you play X7? XD

HAHAHA, oh dear me no. Ninja Lou is many things, but he does not believe in torture of the mental kind. He forces me to play good games, like Chrono Trigger or Perfect Dark.

Quote
Also, DISAGREEMENT! Xtreme 2 has better controls than Xtreme 1. I strictly recall Xtreme 1 actually setting the select button for the dash. :| I havent played it in a while so I dont remember much about that game anymore though.

Like I said, I trust Ninja Lou's opinion more than anyone else in regards to MM.  Hell, I trust his opinion more than anyone else when it comes to pretty much gaming itself. He is an older, wiser, and much more experienced gamer than pretty much.....well I'd say everyone on RPM.  8)

Also, I said pretty much just as shitty, which means that they might be a tad better, but not enough to make me play it.

Quote
But control scheme aside, you cannot dash jump up walls in X7 either because of its broken engine.

Then I'm looking forward to this torture even less!  :V

Quote
I STILL say that its a stubborn opinion when Xtreme 2 is a damn fine game with the simple misfortune of being limited by its hardware. Hell, its up there on my top favorites list along with X4.

See. Look at what I just bold quoted above. Get ready now. Pay attention...

THAT'S WHAT I SAID!  THAT. WAS. MY. POINT.  It is an SNES style game limited by the hardware it's on. The key word there being LIMITED, as in, the controls are LIM-IT-ED! It is that limitation why I don't play the game. Why would I play that game over any of the SNES/PS1/PS2 X series games, which do not limit my control options?

Your going to be forced to play X7? D: Why dont you get forced to play Xtreme 2 instead? Its a much better game, and you cant dash jump up walls in either of the two, so why not choose the " lesser evil "?

Also- if you admit that not playing X7 is based on a stubborn principle- Would you admit the same for Xtreme 2?

Because said person forcing me to play X7 wants me to experience the horrors of how shitty that game really was. It's a torturous friendship we have! We're also gonna sit down and watch Dragonball: Evolution as well. XD

And no, there's a difference. I didn't play X7 because of the principal of having to unlock the main character of his own goddamn series. It had little to nothing to do with the controls of X7. I actually don't even know how awful the controls of X7 really are, because I didn't even play enough of the game to remember it. I only go by what MM expert Ninja Lou has told me.

Xtreme 2 is different. I won't play that because the control scheme sucks. It's forcing me to play an SNES controller scheme style game on a NES controller. If I wanted to play NES controller style MM games, I'd play the Classic series. Hell, on the GB, I'd pop in the far, FAR superior MM World games.  Also with the Xtreme games, I also go by what MM expert Ninja Lou has told me, who's MM opinion I trust more than anyone else in the world. No matter what, no matter how terrible the control scheme is or how shitty the overall game is, Ninja Lou will suffer through it because he's a true, hardcore MM fan. So, when HE tells me the control scheme for Xtreme 2 is pretty much just as shitty as Xtreme 1, that's the only opinion I need to hear.

Never said anything bout shitty controls. I can ignore a games flaws,

Oh if but I had the energy and overall caring to peruse one of the old Sonic topics to counter this point! XD

Quote
But then again, im talking to the picky guy who (besides not playing Xtreme 2 just because of his usual control setup preference) wont play X7 because X is not available from the start.

What do you do with Bass in 10 then? do you refuse to play as him because his dash uses the slide controls? (I may remember wrong- but I dont recall 10's bass having command dash)

And I 100% admit that my reasons for not playing X7 are stubborn and entirely based upon stubborn principals. Again, to me it's like having to unlock our dear Samus Aran in her own game series. But I digress, as I shall be *shudder* forced to play that....probably Tuesday, actually!  Someday next week, anyway. 8D

And in all honesty I have not played as Forte yet in MM10, so I couldn't tell you. I've only beaten it with Blues & Rock. However, if we are comparing Bass to Xtreme X, slide-dash controls were never my problem. It was not being able to dash-jump up or off of walls. Since last time I checked, Forte cannot grab & slide down walls like our beloved Maverick Hunters, so if this remains true then no I shouldn't have a problem with Forte.

I could care less about Iris, and I find NO problem with Xtreme 2's control.

Its just you who doesnt like the controls.

Xtreme 2 has some of the most solid controls, coupled with proper dash momentum. pressing the jump button midair for an air dash is actually easy as opposed to pressing another button for the dash. and down+jump for ground dash was not too bad either. Now, if it had been at the least a GBA game, then maybe it would have used shoulder buttons for dashing.


LoL, but you also admittedly like "shitty" games with "shitty" controls, so guess how valid your opinion is to me?  ;)

And yes, if it had been a GBA game, then obviously I wouldn't have had a problem with the controls. The MMZ game I played seemed to control pretty flawlessly. But alas, NES controls for a SNES controller type game just sucks.  No dash button = no dash jumping off walls, which sucks for an X game.
