Sequalitis - Mega Man X

[soundwave925]

The more modern games I play, the more true this video is. Don't know if any of you guys have seen it, but for those of you who havnt you should check it out. its a really entertaining explanation of how we are spoon fed how to play games these days and how genius some of the older games were able to make us learn ourselves as players.

It won't load on my phone right now for some reason, but I'm pretty sure I know exactly what video it is. I saw it on dorkly a few months back. I've always known that I hate the spoon feeding in new games, but I never put much thought into how awesome some older games were about teaching you as you play. This video made me appreciate MMX and some of my other SNES favorites all that much more

Also, it's fucking funny as hell LOL!

"megaman megaman megaman!!!"

I hate when these youtube kids are profane for the sake of being profane. "shit this, fucking that, blah blah blah omg its the internet i can say whatever i want"...very offputting. However, he's spot on about how annoying "Roll" *coughcoughAliacough* is telling you things you should be able to figure out on your own. They don't make games quite like they used to back then.

[TyrannicalFascist]

Yeah I found this pretty amusing and very true. Modern games don't assume that people are intelligent. Granted, the controls are much more complicated that "jump n shoot", but there can be clever ways to introduce controls.

And I totally agree with you Forte. I'm getting really sick of profanity just for the sake of being profane. Over the last few months, the Nostalgia Critic has lost absolutely all appeal to me, especially after his Let's Play pretty much showed how he operates - overreact to everything by suddenly shouting and cursing. That, and he's gotten so many basic facts wrong on his reviews that I can't take anything he says for any kind of value anymore. It's not even funny anymore. And in a recent review he went on a rant basically saying he knew what was funny and what wasn't. And also the ads...

But I digress. I like the AVGN mostly for the look at old systems and games, not for his random spewing of profanity, not unlike this video.

I haven't played a lot of the "Mega Man X" games, but I'd love to find the first three SNES titles, for a reasonable price. Amazon's currently charging $48 for the second, and almost $90 for the third; its completely ridiculous. I think the only one I've beaten so far is the fourth, and that was years ago.

well you have to understand that X3 was a very rare game at the time it was released. The game came out January 1996.... later that year in September the N64 would launch. Because of the new system, stores didnt order many copies of new snes games. X3 happens to be one of those games that, while being a great title... wasnt exactly flooding into the stores.

Just pick up the MMX collection if you really just wanna play em. If you end up liking them, them maybe you'll consider grabbing the carts at some point down the road.

Also, I'm a huge Richard Pryor and George Carlin fan. That's how I feel about excessive cussin'.

I saw this video a while back, and it just helped prove that Mega Man X really is the best game ever, which I've been saying all my life.

I also would like to add that, unlike the Mega Man Anniversary Collection, the Mega Man X Collection doesn't suffer from ass-backwards button layout, plus each game allows you to customize your controls, so if they still feel off, you can adjust it.

You are my new best friend.

Hell yeah!!!!

The first game's the best one anyways and it's the cheapest SNES title. If you only ever play one game in the series, play that one.

[wiggy]

^^^ I second that.

I agree. The next best one is Mega Man X4 on PSone.

For a real treat, if you have a PSP.... Pick up Mega Man: Mavrick Hunter X.... Its basically Mega Man X4 graphics but its the original Mega Man X with a few tweaks.

I'd say it looks better than X4 by a long shot. If it wasn't on PSP, I know it would have sold better. And while most of the music is only okay compared to the original SNES soundtrack, Flame Mammoth's stage music is actually improved upon in the PSP version. And the original SNES version is already pretty awesome.
