Current Events > I feel like I can barely play Megaman X 4-6 these days

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm about 50 tries in Squid Adlers stage getting the orbs

4 is great
5 is where the trouble begins
6 is horrible

and yeah I know what you mean about Kraken's stage. READY! *die in a pit*

Sums it up, quite well. I especially hate how in 5, the Enigma will usually fail even if you collect all the pieces, the shuttle can potentially also fail even with both full power cannon & shuttle, but it's also possible to succeed if you fire the cannon immediately in the RNG is on point.

6 just suffers from too much bad game design where it potentially becomes impossible if you don't have specific armors or certain patterns generate without a means to counter them. Also a lot of the reploids are in locations that make it very difficult you can reach them before they're infected, meaning some items are lost forever.

4 is fun but suffers from some weird game mechanics. I think the buster doesn't charge fast enough. Z saber is good but not being able to dash n slash is annoying outside of Slash Beasts weapon but that's a different button needing to be pressed

---

i have played so much 4

I'm dumb I forgot the rapid fire option in the menu

These games are hard as fuck but I love them.

---

How the fuck does this final puzzle work I can't hit them enough each without resseting

---

X6 is fine, dunno why people have so many issues with that game.

The rescue reploids is a glaring number 1

You just need to alternate hitting each lock a couple of times. It's annoying yes.

Yeah I got it after too many tries lol

4s good
5 is a bad 4
6 is a bad 5

7 is garbage
8s ok

A friend of mine played X5 for the first time blind a few years ago and died upwards of 330 times on Kraken's stage before he finally got all the blue orbs and survived to the end of the section. It drove him nuts. Much rage was had.

---

i really hate how the alia popups ruin the pacing of X5

Didn't have an issue with those but then again i enjoy collecting stuff :/

---

I can't play X6 at all. Horrible game.

---

Horrendous level design
Annoying enemies (some of which revive)
Nightmare effects
Rescuing Reploids
High Max

and if you miss a specific Reploid and a Nightmare gets it you can't just leave the stage and come back, you have to reset the game.

Ill give you this, but i really didn't have much issues outside of like... rainy turtloid and sigma 1.

no clue, never noticed asides from the nightmares

Nightmare effects

got used to stage hazard bullshit after megaman zero so i took it just as a gimmick.

Rescuing Reploids

again i enjoy collecting shit so this was fun for me lol

High Max

How is this different to any other "rival" in prior games, like bit and byte or vile in X3?

By reset you mean turn the game off and on? because i don't recall any missable reploid that you can just gameover and try again to get it.

Yes Nightmares revive, as do the mantises. The totem poles are also a pain. and of course, the red donuts. I've also had a number of friends, even those that enjoy the game hate on Nightmare Mother.

If you go into the High Max fight blind he's an extreme pain in the ass since it can be difficult to understand how to damage him.

Every Reploid grabbed by a Nightmare is gone for good. If you want a specific part or are a player going for a 100% run you either need mad skills and agility at times or you'll be resetting and trying again.

---

Yeah i remember the donuts being annoying but they also had like no invincible frames so they weren't exactly hard to kill specially as zero, just super annoying, guess add heatnix to the annoying fucking stages the game had, but asides from that, rainy and sigma 1 i really can't think of anything glaring...

Nightmare mother was a wall for sure, but i didn't feel it being more annoying than a yellow devil tbh

Also i liked that timed challenge some nightmares offered, but its because im a sucker for collect-a-thon kind of shit even if it meant doing a game over and restarting.

Honestly i feel i ignored all the perceived bullshit some people mention because of how cool the upgrade system and armors the game had...

I've tried to play the series after X3, but it just feels weird... the transition from X3 to X4. I much rather the SNES style graphics.
