X8. I didnt like it all that much.

[Keno]

Yet he somehow manages to still have an extra gigantic scary body. Seriously, Terminator Sigma was the most terrifying Sigma yet. It blew multiple solid colored heads Sigma out of the water.

[Police Girl]

Plus the fact that his body was not finished, largely, and his mind was fragmented at best, as Hypershell said, from not having a proper recovery, and being pulled out of pure ultimate death. In an incomplete body. And was hastily awakened by Gate upon his defeat.

Makes me wonder if X9 (If it ever comes to fruition) will use some sort of asspulling to bring Sigma back again.

[Bag of Magic Food]

How about Sigma's bones are scattered all over the world for some reason, so you have to collect all the bones, so you can resurrect Sigma, so you can kill him again.  Does that sound like a good game story plan?

[Harruhy]

What bones?

Also, lol ripping off other games.

[Align]

Maybe he made a backup of his mind.

Weapon orbs a la Mega Man 1 have returned, and you have to throw a knife at the robot masters' them, but the game tells you this nowhere.

Atleast you don´t have to kneel down in front of a waterfall....

I still think requiring parts for unarmoured X runs in X6 is stupid. Not undoable, or difficult to figure out, but just flat out annoying that you can't finish everywhere in the game vanilla. They could have easily done it in one way or the other so that you could get by vanilla (ie. no parts equipped) if you thought it out hard enough, but that isn't the case. That's my only gripe with X6, really. In 100% runs it really is enjoyable. Certainly more so than X5 in it's entirety, at any rate.

[The Great Gonzo]

My main gripe with X6 so far is Metal Shark Player's stage. Damn ceiling.

Also, what plot holes did Issoc introduce? Did his very existence invalidate something? Because I never saw any.

[Satoryu]

After you've played it enough, Player's stage isn't hard at all.

Then X1 is annoying too, because you're forced to pick up those boot attachments before you're done!

[Satoryu]

And a Buster upgrade.

[Bag of Magic Food]

Oh gee whiz. Why didn't they let you hop over all that?

[Fxeni]

Yeah, you're forced to take the upgrades... but you're never forced to use them. In X6, you're not forced to take them, but you sure as hell need them in certain spots.

[Keno]

Oh you do. X remembered his knees again.

[Satoryu]

Like the Magnet Beam.

[Keno]

Haha, nice mate there.

[Hypershell]

Indeed.

To add to that, in any other MegaMan game there's the advantage of no fewer than 8 upgrades being unavoidable; try beating MM1 without Super Arm.  Or 8 without Thunder Claw.  Or MM&B without Ice Wall.  In X6, NOTHING is absolutely required.  There are always multiple solutions and never is one single item necessary, but absolutely nothing in the game short of Falcon Armor is unavoidable either.  You know what we call that?  Open.  Some people just can't handle it.

but you're never forced to use them.

When were we given the option to cap our charge level?  'cuz I missed that part.

I was talking about the X series exclusively, where one doesn't really need the use of any upgrade to advance normally, except for X6. While it's true that you don't need the use of any one single item exclusively, the fact is that you still need one. Or two, in some cases. I have no issue with the open gameplay... but it isn't perfect. I still think you shouldn't have the need of any part whatsoever. If it were as open as you say, then there would be the option of no upgrades whatsoever.

As for the charging in X1, it's called shooting before it hits the last charge point, which isn't too difficult. Leads to some less than intuitive moments at times (I tend to like having my charge ready at all times), but it is doable.

[VixyNyan]

try beating MM1 without Super Arm.

Visit Elec Man's stage again, use Thunder Beam on the blocks to the Magnet Beam. Use buster on CWU-01P. ^^

What you mean is, without visiting a stage two times. You should be more specific next time. >v<

[Satoryu]

BURN!!!

[Nekomata]

MM&B without Ice Wall.

have you even play R&F?
you can get through every section that would need ice wall with forte >.>

[Flame]

Honestly, who plays with Megaman in that game unless they want to get 100% on the disks?

[Keno]

I do. His regain health while standing still ability makes him good for folding GBAs on the go. Or one can play the game in not retarded easy mode with Bass. Love him though I do, he's a bit overpowered. Fun, but not for as long as Mega Man, at least, until you can be as proficient with both. My days of not raping the bullshit out of MM&B are long since past.

Haha, I discussed this on Confuse Reviews just last night too.

Then again, you could also get the Magnet Beam without using any weapons if you can do the Up+Down trick to zip into the wall!
