[Ninja Lou]

You'll have my axe!

You have an axe?

[Acid]

You have an axe?

Yes.

In Monster Hunter.

[The Great Gonzo]

Man, I wish I had an axe. All I have is a plastic knife. :/

[Ninja Lou]

Yes.

In Monster Hunter.

........ You win this round!

[Acid]

........ You win this round!

I bet PB hears that a lot!

OOOOOH BUUUUURRRRRRRN!

[Ninja Lou]

Oh dick move!!! Now I will never hear the end of this.  Damn you Ass-id!!!

If Capcom quit making Legends 3, Japan would have the biggest Riot EVER

I swear, the next person that talks down on ZX will get the uppercut from a magical talking fish. I'm seriously growing tired of people being beyond superficial and unable to see ZX for what it truly is; a series equal to, if not greater than the one that precedes it.

I wouldnt mind doing the same to those who keep mentioning Megaman X and Classic 2.

Theyre good and all, but the games that came after were better, and the constant praising of those two is starting to make them overrated.

But definitely. ZX was amazing, and should not be talked down on.

But definitely. ZX was amazing, and should not be talked down on.

So was Starforce, and they fall under the category of underraited. I love that game. Even though it's basically like Dr. Robotnik's Mean bean Machine being Puyo Puyo 1 as Mario Bros 2 US was Doki Doki Panic. Both were fun (the fact that I am a puzzle gamer here).

[Flame]

Well Star Force was fun, but for some reason, it just isnt that "good".
I cant explain it. its fun, but I wouldnt put it up there with the likes of Battle network or ZX even.

probably because it does preciously little to connect itself to battle Network despite being it's future, and  even as a "solo series" it is the same BN formula.

Either it feels like it's a generation behind or people complained about the story or the characters. Yes, Starforce was built upon the Battle Network yes (although your character is strictly limited to three panels, gives you more time for strategy), Story was kinda meh and it only had one game that TANKED (that one Starforce/BN crossover game which was essentially a port of the first BN title, should've been a collection of some sort).

ZX was accepted (mildly, then some recolorists decided to grab ahold of the sprites and make a dozen Vent recolors) for the fact that it was a continuation of the Zero series from the perspective from the humans and still had the trademark gameplay, with minigames included (again, Gem Buster's one of my favs), and of course it was deeper so the characters could look badass and have a deep background behind their existance (Pro and Pan).

I just like the whole franchise equally. But again, it's all based on opinions, which on the interwebs is nigh-existant.

Still though,

we should try and play MH one day. Maybe the new PSP one. I suck at MH PSP though.

If it makes you feel better, I feel the same damn way.

MMM is just full of individuals who have no recollection of value.

No. I feel differently. Star Force wasn't good. It wasn't even all that fun.

It was just... a horrible knock off really. This is coming from someone who liked X7 for what it was and adores ZXA. Someone that actually had fun playing EXE 4 the first two times through.

Yeah. That is just opinion though.

Daaaaayum, You two went to town while I was snoring.

Nothing like a late night discussion, huh? Oh well, you guys probably won't see that for a while I guess. (or me in some cases) Kinda done with a few things. Instead I'll just crack people down without getting involved anymore. Not interested in having to deal with PB. He makes me stay up too late.

That's debatable for the X series, as far as I'm concerned.
Although I do tend to prefer X2 a tiny bit more... not by much though.

[Gaia]

From what I've heard people are trying to pass it off as "milking the dead cow", but yeah. Opinions. They can set off a string of F bombs if an argument were to happen like (in a scenario) if someone said he/she liked the E.T. game, and that wouldn't be fun, right?

[Aresian]

Pretty much. Well, if you like it, that is all that matters right? I'm bitter that it essentially "killed" the EXE series... even though it personally didn't. But that probably isn't fair or something.

Don't know really. Don't care.

[KudosForce]

On Mega Man X, your mileage may vary, but on the subject of Mega Man 2...definitely!

I mean, most of the classic titles are underrated. Mega Man 4, for example, is the most balanced of the NES titles, yet doesn't really get much love. That escapes me, really...

[Mirby]

It also had the most epic final boss theme EVAR!

Mega Man 4

Cossack Stage 2 > Wily Stage 1 (MM2)

Oh dick move!!! Now I will never hear the end of this.  Damn you Ass-id!!!

Oh be honest. You never hear the end of it ANYWAY!

I tend to have that affect on people online. Making them stay up too late, I mean! OH YEAH, and sorry bout not answering those IM's. I forgot to turn off my AIM on my iPod Touch when I went to bed. LoL, I got several messages from several people when I woke up!

LoL, and you can get involved all you want. In the long run, I'm just a man with a viewpoint as well! 

Cossack Stage 2 > Wily Stage 1 (MM2)

I really love MM4 Wily Stage 2. IN FACT, LETS LISTEN TO IT NOW!

[Aresian]

It's cool, I forgot people use their iPods for messenger devices. Oh well, as for the whole me thing, I just need my space. It got a bit too personal when it probably should've stuck behind closed doors (PMs) and all that, but what is done is done by this point. It kinda laid the ground for how I feel about a few things and put some perspective on others. So, I'm staying behind the fence, as it were. I have other obligations online now as well, so it works out. Tis why I haven't been posting as much prior to the Legends 3 business.

I'll of course still do what mod work I do around here, as per my promise to Vixy. But aside from that, I'll let the RPMers be the RPMers and occasionally give a more stoic version of my two cents. As necessary.

[Protoman Blues]

Awww, but you got rid of the blade wielding sheep in your sig. I liked that thing. 

[MrBaryl]

I love Megaman 4, it has everything a Rockman fan can ask for.

[Aresian]

Awww, but you got rid of the blade wielding sheep in your sig. I liked that thing. 

I guess I better put it back in. Didn't think about it. I think I accidentally deleted it.

[Ramzal]

Inafune's interview somewhat made sense. Fan demand for games have been reaching ridiculous standards for what a "good game" is, however what I find odd is his complaint of how working in Japan is in comparison to working in the US. His viewpoint of US working of slavery is on and off. We DO work needlessly hard to reach a promotion, however if it were slavery... the promotions would range from "Entry whipped position" to "Whipped crew leader." From ten lashes to five a day. From one slice of bread to three! He wouldn't be happy working in Japan because he would earn a paycheck for nearly doing nothing as he explained, however if he worked in the US...he'd be a slave. So the only way for it to work for him is if he moves to....hell. Sri Lanka, becomes the single japanese majority in that land, starts his own company and forms things as he wishes.

Half of the interview makes sense, namely with fanbase demands and hype, insane numbers hired for a project, and chairmen of boards not knowing a damn thing about video games. However, when he gets personal about it is where he fails, because he's leaving a system that exists no matter where he goes. So unless he can start a company and become absolute president of the united Inafune.co, it won't work out for him well. Namely if others who would hire him get a look at the interview. He was dumb enough to -state- the flaws in his bosses publicly. If that isn't reference suicide, I don't know what is.
