Current Events > So whats considered the best Megaman X game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rank them all

1 > 4 > everything else

---

I understand X1, X2, and X4 to be the best-liked

---

X3 > X1,2,4 > the rest

---

My all time fav is X2, X1 i have fond memories being the first megaman game i ever played as a child, X3 was weird but i liked it after a while, X4 and onwards is whatever for me, but i'm on the minority of actually liking X6 the most out of the PSX megaman games, anything past X6 doesn't exist.

---

I hear X7 is especially bad

I think X3 is hailed as the best one by fans. But I think X4 is the best one.

---

1.

Although X2 and X4 are fine too.
---

The one that gives it to ya

---

Been years since I played these games, I seem to remember thinking X2 was best but any of the first three are good answers.

---

X1 > X4 > X2 > X3 are GOAT tier.

X8 is solid.

X5 sucks but has a few redeeming qualities.

X6 is so poorly designed its actually kind of amusing. Its a terrible, terrible game but its kind of fun just to see how cheaply annoying and nonsensical the next area is going to be.

X7 is irredeemable trash.

...On what planet?

I mean it seems pretty popular
Part of the OG SNES trio
Rare Saturn/PS1 remake so it has hipster status
Iconic intro stage music
First game with playable Zero

X4 is my fav but from what I've seen it gets looked over due to not being on SNES. Some people even say it's when the series started to suck

Its hit or miss i like the bullshit difficulty of the first two and how 1-3 just kinda blatently stole its plot from Casshern. Zero 4 is more like X so X fans probably would like it better than the first 3

X1 is an overall great title. Just the right difficulty, great soundtrack, very memorable.

X2 is also really good. More challenges, advancement in the story, good music. I'd say the weapons are flawed, but it's still a fun game.

X3 is okay but the difficulty ramped up, and there are many moments where it feels uninspired.

X4 is fun but has it's issues. I think it's just too easy. Sure there some difficult parts, but you can fly through most of the game. The bosses are the highlight. Again good soundtrack. lol the voice cast. The story expands more, and the cutscenes are nice.

X5 is where the problems began. First Alia, please shut up!! Next is the difficulty, but at the same time the checkpoints are bizarre. Death almost has no meaning. The introduction of rescuing Reploids. It's alright here, but unnecessary. The stages are not that good. Some more tedious than others. Decent soundtrack. You can collect two armors now, but by the time you get the second it's purpose is mostly just to grab a couple of items and you're done with it. This was originally meant to be the last of the X titles, and honestly it would have been bad note to go out on.

X6..... oh boy..... horrendous stage design, annoying enemies, many instant death areas, the nightmare effects. The Nightmare enemies in general who can also infect the Reploids you need to rescue. Many of these Reploids hold parts, some of which you'll need to complete the game. More Alia, High Max, the final stages. Again there are two armors, but you don't use the second much at all. I like (most of) the music, that's about it.

X7 is by far the worst. Bad stages, mediocre soundtrack, slow pacing, auto aim, Reploids can outright die. Axel was a horrible addition to the series. Unlocking X is a chore. Changing over to 3D was a mistake. BURN TO THE GROUND!! Bad weapons, bad enemies, bad gimmicks. Seriously what even is Hyena's fight... and it just gets worse.

X8... well it was a step in the right direction. We're back to mostly 2D platforming. There's a bit too much variety in stage gimmicks, but some of it looks fun. Good soundtrack. IMO it has the best boss theme of the series. You no longer have to rescue Reploids, but now there's a currency system and stages are filled with gems called Metals. It just feels out of place. The tag team aspect was a neat addition. Axel isn't as annoying this time. There are some fun unlockables and hidden features. The final stages though, I don't care for them, especially the last one.

I mean...you're not wrong.

My personal order is...

X2 > X4 > X > X3 > X6 (yes I'm serious) > X5 >>>>>>>> X7

Didn't play X8 much but it seemed okay.

---

Pretty much X1-X5 followed by X8. Only X6 and X7 were bad.

---

X1 and X4 are my favorites

Tbh I'm not opposed to putting 6 ahead of 5. 5 is boring. 6 is at least so bad its memorable.

A tier: X1, X2, X3
B tier: X4
C tier: X5, X6
D tier: X8
