It's one of those "you know it when you see it" things, you wouldn't get it.

i don't quite believe that, but we will agree to disagree on this, this time.
i will now end this brief exchange with data.

Hi, so i am a cs student who is slumped currently with research and my job, and a lot of bureaucracy and i thought i needed to yell and scream and basically blow off some steam, and i remembered that mega man 2 had a sort of effect like that, where the challenging aspect of the game contributed to me blowing off some steam.
i am so unfamiliar with the franchise to be honest all i know is that i didn't like 1 and people shit talk 3 other than that I'm clueless as it pertains to the series, so any suggestions whether it be the og series X or any other one? which one i should start off with etc...
Thanks!

Pick one that looks the most interesting to you and play it.

Megaman X should be good enough.

 

[jankusanagi jankusanagi]

There's a great remake version of Mega Man X for the PSP, go for it!

Other than that, OG Mega Man X and Mega Man 3 are my "Mega Man choices".

I try to be lenient but I feel this thread is a bit too minuscule to justify existing as a separate thread, as such I’ll merge it into the official Megathread created by @fake-kun

A friendly reminder to everyone to check if a thread was already created as creating vaguely similar threads is discouraged as it runs the risk of flood.

Edit: merge complete.

I’m reading Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and Umineko’s manga at the moment. I love both. After I’m finished, I plan to resume the Arigathon. I’ve a couple Megaman related articles planned. Some will incorporate scrapped ideas from a few months ago that will be reworked and revived.
I really love the feedback on my Megaman pieces, as it encourages me to keep writing more Megaman stuff when I can.

Arigathon ride must continue.

Yeah, and since I’m recovering from my headaches and stomach flu, it should get easier. If not…

Thanks for the suggestion, would you recommend the og or the remake?, cuz i must confess i do like the snes era osts

Well, both really, but Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X on the PSP is a beautiful and faithful remake, both the game itself and the OST. The OST takes advantage of the cleaner sound to make it a bit more "dance style", but it's a nice upgrade IMHO.

Go with whatever looks more fun to you is what I'd recommend. I've played both and would personally recommend playing og X first - but it's a matter of preference. 2d sprites Vs 3d models. Classic SNES ost Vs modernised ost.

As a side note, this reminds me that the PSP housed another remake of a classic 2d game utilising 3d models and an upgraded ost. Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles. The remake of Rondo of Blood. In that case I would also recommend playing original first, and also prefer the original soundtrack. Again that's just based on my own tastes.

In short have a quick preview and pick either, both are solid games.

thanks for the tip, but speaking of which i really need to get into castlevania, i just never bothered to check where to start in terms of chronological order of the games.

No worries, let us know which one you play and your verdict!
Re castlevania let's discuss in a separate thread, seems to be one we can use:

im new to this thread and 40 pages is a lot. are there multiple versions of Megaman and Bass? if so, which is the best one

Since i played Megaman IV on the gameboy , i was a Megaman-fan . I like the X-series until X6 which i kinda like but at the same time dont.

Im still pissed at capcom what they did to Megaman Legends 3 .

They ripped out my hype , beat it to a pulp and let it rot into a despiteful resentment which wont die out , cant be forgotten and forgiveness aint ever the option towards such scummy and villainous act not only towards me , but alot of fans who waited for the super fighting robot who should roam into the lands of gaming not only as an digger , womanizer and noble philantrope ... but as an awesome spin-off that deserved more love .

SNES and GBA. Based on personal experience, avoid the GBA one.

To be fair you should avoid most GBA versions of SNES titles based on Screen Crunch alone.
