Why do I see so much shit talk on X3? I haven't played the series since I was a kid, but back then it always came off as the peak and most perfected in terms of level design/game play. After that it all went down hill (X4 had some cool levels but also a lot of soulless ones too)

No idea. I've heard people complain about the music in it, which is funny to me, the music is probably half the reason I love X3 so much. I mean the SNES version, didn't care much for the arrangements in the other versions, except maybe Toxic Seahorse.

All the songs in mmx3 are memorable imo. Guns and Roses is shit, but neon tiger's song always gets stuck in my head when I think of the game. My favorite is probably the frigid cold song from Blizzard Buffalo. Gravity beetle is runner up for me because it really captures being on an air field or whatever.

it's one of those hivemind things

They read somewhere that "it was outsourced", and someone that translates to "objectively bad"; except those people don't even know that it was "outsourced" to devs that made many MM games before, Capcom was pretty much the only thing they fed on.

X3 isn't perfect but it's peak for me as well because gameplay is actually challenging and every single enemy placement is a small challenge to overcome, unlike X2 where all you do is keep running and unleash a charge shot on your way once in a while.
Some of the bosses are a bit repetitive (how many different bosses do the "run to one side of the screen, run to the other, repeat" pattern?!) but some bosses are weak in 1 and 2 as well

Good work exposing yourself as underage, retard. Few copies of it were made because it came out extremely late in the SNES' lifespan (hence why it was soon ported to the PSX), but that says nothing about whether people liked it or not. I paid a lot for my (cartridge only) copy years later in the early 2000s because it WAS known as an extremely good game.

X games fall the victim to the hardware improvements. The same thing that ruined gaming in general after gen5-6. It is natural for NES game with small and blocky sprites to have very limited moveset. Then designers must jump over their heads to make the inventive mechanics within these harsh hardware constraints. In SNES version they were just tasked to make classic Megaman with SNES-level graphics. They've done exactly that, and that is not how good games are done. With big and detailed models this looks unnatural and artificial. Why the hell I cannot shoot up, down and diagonally? Why enemies respawn a second after I've left the screen? On NES this is caused by hardware limitations. On SNES - no fucking reason for that and this breaks the immersion. Super Metroid is better than Metroid, because it actially uses enhanced hardware capabilities for gameplay. MMX uses them only for graphics and gimmicks, and gameplay wise it is objectively worse than original.

Eh, 2's bosses feel very cheap to me sometimes. Doing a no damage fight often requires luck over anything else, while 4 only had one boss that's blatantly bullshit (Bright Man). 2 does have better music, though, I agree, but 4 still has good music. 4 also has a far better and more balanced weapon arsenal and better level design.

The X3 dick sucking is out of control. The level design is atrocious. It's always messing with your momentum. Every level is cut into thirds by two miniboss rooms. Minibosses explode like bosses, slowing things down even more, and the levels are loaded with giant stationary enemies that aren't dangerous but just exist to be bullet sponges to get in your way. It also added a ton of collectables that exist solely to get other collectables. What good are the mechs again? And the pink capsules are literally useless because a little patience gets you all of them at once later on. Its just an objectively worse game.

A lot of your points are coming from the perspective of somebody who already extensively played through the game, or somebody who knows about it by way of YouTube or twitch speedrunners. Most people playing the game back then didn't care about fucking speed running strats or a couple seconds added here and there, in fact the super explosions for minibosses looked cool. The empty rooms add, what, 5 seconds to the level? As for the upgrade chips, most everybody playing through the game the first time had no fucking clue about the gold super armor, unless they were looking up secrets or had a friend who told them.

You don't have to be a speedrunner to not like it when a game based on a dash mechanic keeps throttling your progression. The dash was the reason they ditched Mega Man classic's screen transitions when making Mega Man X. X3 kind of brings them back but makes it worse by not even including interesting gimmicks. Its just standing and waiting. People calling the snail crawling section bullshit are not wannabe speedrunners. They just don't like unfun garbage.

You could have said literally anything else and it would have made more sense.
I do agree that the gold armor doesn't invalidate the chips though, while I do believe people would be far more accepting of the chips if the golden armor wasn't on the game when you use the golden armor you are sacrificing the utility of using the chips throughout most of the game, instead deciding to the get the advantage of having all of the chips at once for like two stages at the end, so I think they work pretty well

>a bunch of useless shit like every single ride armor
They should have been used more, but I don't see how this is an actual issue. No other game uses the ride armors for more than a couple of screens either, and at least this one gives you some variety and feeling of accomplishment in collecting them (especially with the fact that you have to go through a sidequest to get just the normal one, which felt kino)
>bosses that can't even do a single attack without restarting their attack patterns
Same shit in every X game and most Mega Man games in general.

Once again, you faggots prove yourself to be desperately reaching against this game either because you first played the abysmal EU PSX, or played this one way, way past its release date, or are just parroting what some faggot on YouTube told you to think about it and every other game in the series as well.

You know why nobody uses the weapons in X games? Because they are useless as shit, X1's weapons may trivialize the bosses but they at least have their uses against regular enemies instead of being only because of tradition
>Could say the same shit about X1. Git gud.

5 and 6 are very polished. What's wrong with them? 5 is easy because it hands you 1-ups like candy, the charge shot is a nuke, and Beat exists but it's great. And 6's only problem is that it doesn't let you jump out of a slide anymore.

[Anonymous No.7767425]

>>7767384
5 is super strange. Basic enemies sometimes seem to take 1-3 more shots from the basic buster shots at random. I always go in trying to avoid using the nukecharge, but end up crawling back to it since the regular bullets are too inconsistent.
6 makes you accelerate downwards rapidly sometimes, often plunging me down a hole I would've otherwise made in any other game.

[Anonymous No.7767519]

I never really noticed those things but yeah each game has it's quirks. MM3 has some wonky hit detection that's hard to put my finger on.

It's not. X3 buster "upgrade" is too slow and doesn't even hit anything half the time. X2's double charge shot was far better, and I would even take the basic charge shot over X3's upgrade. Thankfully, the Project Zero hack fixes this issue and makes it an actual upgrade.

No clue what you are trying to express here Anon. The series is sprinkled with guns n roses references so it's an obvious reference. Guns n roses is still shit though. I'd rather listen to the snes' 20 second loop for the rest of my life.

X1 helmet provides protection from the falling blocks in Sting Chameleon's stage, and unlocks secret areas by breaking blocks.

Don't those rocks stop falling if you defeat the mini boss above them? Which also provides you with the armour capsule, so you're going to do that regardless. I prefer X1 as a game but that helmet is pointless, it's only "real" use is to reach the buster upgrade in Flame Mammoth's stage but those breakable blocks kinda just feel like something they tacked on to give the helmet upgrade a use at all.

>X3 is rightfully regarded as one of the lesser X games for having shit weapons
Hold the fuck on, X3 weapons are great, what are you talking about?
>Frost Shield
Kills almost every enemy in 1-2 close range hits, health pickups guaranteed.
>Spinning Blade
Obliterates every enemy in the game
>Triad Thunder
forms a shield around X, then blast the shield away hitting every enemy near, extremely useful against small and medium enemies, Allows you to quickly dash across the stage, Turns some stages like Tunner Rhino's into a complete joke.
>Ray Splasher
deals decent damage and is useful for hitting out-of-range enemies.
>Acid Burst
weak, but every enemy killed by this weapon gives you weapon capsules
>Parasitic Bomb
weak, but ideal to get rid of small enemies

Gravity Well and Tornado Fang are complete shit 99% of the time but still, 6-out-of-8 with 4 amazing weapons and 2 ok-ish ones? That's a better arsenal than in most X games. AND ALSO, buster upgrade is shit, charged weapons are not worth it. The best way to experience X3 IMO is a no armor, no unnecessary collectables run, extra points if you get the Z-Saber.

7 is probably the best MM game.

Mega Man and Bass, the better game, did this too but it justified the use of this to make the game actually challenging.

Not to mention most of the boosted versions are pretty sick too. It blew me away as a kid when I found out I essentially unlocked 8 new attacks and a new buster charge from it.

ZX and ZX Advent are just a continuation of the Zero series. You'll like it if you like those, and you won't if you don't.
The first game has a dreadful faux-metroidvania map system so just google a map if you don't want the bullshit of pointless wandering.

[Anonymous No.7775067]

>>7774630
They're also piss easy in comparison to the Zero games, but they're a lot of fun. ZX has an optional secret boss that's a neat challenge and Advent has a load of strange transformations that are great to play around with.
Also, Zero has a collection on DS as well if you weren't aware.

[Anonymous No.7775069]

Forgot to add but the characters are cute too. It's just a solid pair of games man, grab it even if just to emulate and you won't be too disappointed.

Then just do that. I wasn't touting it as the best, I was mentioning it since he was asking about DS games. Maybe he liked the dual screens or something.

X3 has an annoying amount of backtracking to get items. X1 and X2 have far less.

[Anonymous No.7775495]

I think X2 was super solid.

Also: have you seen this convention yet? They're doing graded video games which is sort of weird.

Just replayed all 8 stages (skipping masters) of 5, and enemy design is absolute crap. Slowmoving bullet-spongy enemies that are good at avoiding your blaster level and tend to hide in your hitbox - they are everywhere. They are not fun and extremely annoing. Who could have got this idiotic idea? The things that megaman cannot shoot diagonally and cannot whack with his gun in melee - these are artificial limitations. It is stupid to design enemies around them. It is a pity, because some parts of stages are quite good and refreshing (gravity, bubbles, ext stages). To someone, who is discovering classics can recommend to stop on 4 and watch 5 on youtube.

[Anonymous No.7776264]

>>7776197
I don't understand this opinion. 5 has some fun stages. Gravity Man, Star Man, and Gyro Man are great. Wave is gimmicky with the bike segment but isn't bad either.

[Anonymous No.7776980]

>>7769943
7 was great and 9 is a masterpiece at least. I don't think 8 and R&F were that bad, but they do have a big list of problems. 10 is boring, 11 is a chore.

I'm being for real. The Zero series is a lot of fun and takes what the X series was trying to do and actually executes it well. My only complaint is that the cutscenes and story are a bit excessive, but the gameplay is golden. Ignore the /vr/ boomers who whine about "muh screen crunch" or cry about using a saber when there are literally other weapons to choose from and use interchangeably (without even opening the pause menu), they were literally filtered.
