Mega Man Megathread

I tried it, but it was way too hard to be fun. It's basically forcing you to collect armors and Heart Tanks to even stand a chance.

At least you tried it then. What is your favorite X game or Mega Man series. Mine will always be the Mega Man Zero series because of its story and gameplay. That and Zero is just awesome.

X1 and X2 are tied for my favorite X game. And as for my favorite Mega Man series... I think looking at my avatar and banner should give you the answer, no?

I finally got around to reading the Mega Man comic that UDON made for Free Comic Book Day.

It's a cute little story about Wind Man, Cold Man and Skull Man remembering their battles with Rock. There are way too many puns, but the comic acknowledges Mega Man & Bass, so I don't mind too much. The art is technically great, but there's something about Rock and Roll's faces that really puts me off. But overall, it's worth picking up if you're a Mega Man fan.

Here's Roll with a weird face.

Jesus H. Christ in a pogo stick , what is this abomination???? Poor Roll...

Idk if this was asked but what do people here think about Mega Man X8? It was my introduction to the X franchise after having played the classic anniversary collection. I was both really confused and excited to play it because the cover art has everyone looking cool. Mega Man X8 is arguably one of my favorite X games ever even after playing the X games.

Well, I like X8 a lot, but that's just me. I suck so much at Rockman games, I need save states to finish them, ahhaha. But X8 is fun.

Downloaded Megaman X Hard Type again, I beat it before but that was awhile ago and I can't remember if it was any good, so I'll have to get back to you on that.

Of course it’s obvious, it’s clearly pepsiman

Also Megaman x8 is kinda weird. It’s got a lot of good parts, I enjoy so much about it, but it’s still terrible at the end of the day. Half the levels aren’t even levels. Lmao.
Man-o-war flashbacks…

Edit: actually, I’ll double down. MOST of the game barely has any real level design.

That is true, but something about Mega Man X8 always made me revisit it. I loved playing as 2 maverick hunters at once, mixing up the Hermes and Icarus armor, Zero's unlockable weapons, Axl's arsenal of weapons, and getting to play as the navigators was fun. I must have replayed it like 5 times as a kid and it is one of the first games I beat on the hardest difficulty.

I like X8, but when it's bad, it's Dynasty. Fuck that stage. I like the Shop system, and the Navigators are pleasant to listen to, and I find Pallette's voice when she says "Listen to me!" adorably whiny (kind of like Erin Fitzgerald's Noire from Neptunia).

Really, that stage? Why not Burn Rooster's stage? That stage I always do last. With Dynasty I realized if you boost to get in Gigabolt's face and mash the shoot button to quickly you can beat that stage in about a minute. But at the same time I understand because I was stuck on that stage for a while. Gigabolt Man-o-war is annoying and doesn't shut up. Not to mention the game doesn't tell you anything on how to complete that stage. I dropped X8 the first time around because I couldn't complete it for the longest time, and I only discovered the Dynasty speed strat on my 4th playthrough.

When I first played x8 I hadn't played a new x game for years (because I couldn't get a PS2). I really enjoyed playing it at the time, but never played it again since.

I loved these tracks from X8, they kinda stood out from the rest for me. Music is such a huge part of the Megaman experience and these tracks held up for me.
