What are you talking about? Every single bio of the guy talks about him being a loose cannon.
VAVA (Vile)
Originally with the 17th elite unit, his ability as a hunter is Special A Class,
but due to a fault in his electronic brain, he became an abhorrent destroyer of
repliroids. Because of this, he was removed from the work of the Irregular
Hunters and immobilized, but with Sigma's rebellion was set free. He now
enjoys commiting frequent acts of destruction.
I never said he wasn't out of his mind and I know all of that, but he was not how they had him in MHX in X1. Hell, he's even got the Maverick symbol right on his head, which they changed for MHX. MHX also has Sigma just setting Vile free then telling him he needs someone to go maverick of his own will. Uh.. What? If Vile doesn't define murderous reploid maverick, I don't know what does. MHX also gave him a raging hard-on over X that he doesn't have in X1. I mean, its there and it returns in X3 for revenge, but its ridiculous in MHX.
[quoteThe only way Sigma and VAVA relate is how MHX has it. Sigma set him free and VAVA happily went along with it. He's not Sigma's right hand man. Really, you're only basing that on the fact that he's fighting on Sigma's side and is in certain places at the right time, which still remains true as of MHX.
In X3 he is exactly the same, not taking any orders, trashing a fortress filled with mechaniloids to take their place as the boss.[/quote]
See above. Vile had every reason to wanna destroy X in X3. Then he turns around and is following Sigma in X8.[/quote]
There's nothing in Day of Sigma that is in disagreement with the original.
Where in X1 is Dr. Cain so ridiculously old he's in a wheel chair that will barely extend his life and then he gets blown to hell with the rest of a Maverick Hunter base? That right there causes tons of loops because Cain is around till X4 unless they just ignore their own work in MHX if MHX2 had ever come to be.
But you know what, I didn't wanna get into the story, because I knew this would happen. Should've kept my mouth shut on that. Whatever, you'll reply and it'll be done.
Now, to flesh out how I felt about the actual gameplay;
X's Game:
It was just X1 with nicer graphics and expansions. It was still fun, though I do prefer X1 to this. I did enjoy what they changed around and it was a fun little title, though not worth the price it was when it first game out. I'll gladly buy it now. The music didn't hold a candle to the original, but its pretty hard to. There wasn't much challenge, but what do you expect from a game that we've all mastered since like 93?
Vile's Game:
It was a refreshing change of pace. It was something new that really added to the game for me and really made it worth the money. I thoroughly enjoyed the new aspects of the gameplay and it was nice to have to adjust to the new weapons and the lack of a charge shot to begin with. I died a few times, which is always nice. The only two problems I had with Vile's game were his lack of dash, which is mostly fixed by his speed upgrade and how badly his ride armor was done.
Ride armors in general felt really clunky in this game, though. Vile's time limit didn't help, especially when getting damaged took away time and it wasn't as responsive.
But it was a fun game. I enjoyed myself and would be interested in a sequel. To AfroShroom, I really say he should give it a chance before writing it off. It wasn't me intent to turn someone off of the game, just giving my thoughts, you know?
