Rockman X is Over

[Acid]

Look at these old men, debating over who has the better war-veteran stories.

[Protoman Blues]

Why back during the 90's, Ninja Lou and I became friends because I told him I was better than him in MegaMan II on the bus!

War-story!

[Hypershell]

28 in November.  Glad PB is making me feel young.

Ah, war stories.  I used to pass the SNES controller with my friends whenever switching between X and Zero in X3, 'cuz we were just that desperate for a 2 player Mega Man game.  I was the one to locate the body capsule and the last two heart tanks in X1 after my older brother and his buddy swore up and down they found everything.  And the very first game I ever bought my own copy of after knowing full well my brothers already had it, was The Misadventures of Tron Bonne ($15 bargain rack, SCORE!).

[Joseph Collins]

I remember the first time I played one'a them there "Mega Man" games mrrrmmrmm...  It was waaay back in the early nine-dees.  Back then, you actually had to leave your house to go get a video game... *wheeze* ...and had to get the cashier to ring you up.  *inhale*  You could only borrow a game for a weekend back then, too, and -- *slow breath* -- it cost fiiive whooole dollars to rent, which back then was like two-hundred dollars nowadays.  *hork hack snrff*  Go get me a soder young'en.  I'll tell you about Bubbleman and his treacherous stage...

[VixyNyan]

Go get me a soder young'en.  I'll tell you about Bubbleman and his treacherous stage...

And his partical-inducing video quality reductions when recording or live streaming his stage because of the waterfall animation in the background.

[Joseph Collins]

What is it about white-on-sky-blue flickering that completely krunks up recording software?  I swear...

Also, this topic has gone grossly off-topic.  Then again, I think the consensus on Rockman Xover is pretty clear at this point. 

[Mirby]

Huh, I'll be 23 in November. Interesting.

[Karasai♪]

I'll be 16 in december

I disagree. Reminding readers of what made MegaMan mega-awesome helps to show how awful this game really is and HOW SINGLE PLAYER GAMES CREATED MORE SOCIAL GAMING THAN THIS [tornado fang]ing FUR-ASCOT TURD FEST EVER [tornado fang]ing WILL!   

.......OPPA ROCKMAN STYLE!

Amen to that.

We also need a flash artist or group of cosplayers to get on that.

[parasitic bomb] I'm young.

My earliest memory of Mega Man was 2005 (or was it 2006? ).

When me and my brother bought MMBN6. And a beautiful relationship was born!

.....

Only to die now.

[Joseph Collins]

You know, you're right.  Though I like OVER's design, the game itself really... really doesn't do the multi-series justice.  At the absolute very least, not from what we've seen so far.  And it's certainly a far cry from the classic run-and-gun, platforming gameplay of Rockman.  Like I said before, glorified rail shooter with no challenge.

[The Great Gonzo]

That reminds me--I said over on the Mechanical Maniacs forum (and probably here, too; my memory's scatter-shot) that Xover might turn out to be that kind of "crossover" where all of the elements are kept as rigidly separate as possible, with only a single thrown-in element to indicate that it's not just a collection of unrelated scenes ("you know, THE [parasitic bomb] KIND").

Xover has "quests" that relate to each series, but so far no indication of any actual crossing-over beyond Luka's presence in all of them.

It (most likely) can't even succeed as a crossover title.

BN6 was the worst BN game. At least I felt so.

[Protoman Blues]

BN6 was the worst BN game. At least I felt so.

I think it's the easiest BN game, while BN4 was the worst.

[Solar]

BN6 was the worst BN game. At least I felt so.

Are you seriously saying that with BN4 and OSS existing. I mean, I love all BN games except OSS, but I just don't understand how it's possible to call any game other than 4 or 1 (mostly because of not aging too well) as the worst one.

[megaman24681012]

That's strange. I loved the game. Can't be the worst if I thought it was one of the best (BN game I mean).

When I have to play through the same story line 3+ times to collect everything, something is TERRIBLY WRONG!!!

I seriously don't get why they did that. Sure, a "New Game+" option is always appreciated, BUT THAT'S NOT HOW IT SHOULD WORK

[Mirby]

I enjoyed BN4's battle themes and final stage music. But nothing else, really.

The battle gameplay was nice, and the beginning of a certain inter-dimensional and inter-franchise friendship was great too.

[Phi]

BN6 just felt too short and easy. I breezed through pretty much everything.

I'll admit that BN4 did a lot of things poorly, but I just couldn't get into 6 at all. You were too overpowered. Both games I feel are the lowest in the BN series.

Okay, yeah. That was annoying as hell.

[Protoman Blues]

No. No it isn't how it's suppose to work at all. Not only was that feature annoying, but it made the story shorter due to the fact that you had to play through the same game THREE GODDAMN TIMES. As a collector, and in a game that focuses on collected, it's absolutely absurd.

Also I wasn't a fan of the music changes. Although I don't think they could ever top BN2's soundtrack.

[Solar]

And may god help you if you missed a BMD/PMD during one of those playthroughs.

Well, you can be overpowered as [tornado fang]ing hell in 2 too, but at least I guess that it requires more effort to get to that point than in 6.

[Protoman Blues]

None of the Navi's were challenging in BN6. Not one.
