People are surprisingly happy with this version of the game.
All service games that die should also release just like this for preservation sake
The gacha version seems to still be in the play store so I guess it's not dead yet?
@@alsparkproductions7849 i think it's around this month when it officially closes
@@alsparkproductions7849The gacha version is going to shutdown on september 27, 2023.

@@alsparkproductions7849it’s shutting down this month I believe
I only played X Dive online for an hour before dropping it but still checked in on it through youtube to see what it had. I saw the ending without reading the other parts so I felt sad that it looked like Rico was just desperately coping. Then I saw the offline ending and it brought a tear to my eye. I got the game I just wanted to play a version that didn't have gacha and I didn't want to wait for a sale. Now I can freely read the mediocre story and learn to see why that ending brought that tear to my eye.
I dislike how everyone is asking if $30 is worth it. People drop way more money on gacha systems.
Nice summary man.
Loved the work and details you showed in your video
And thank you for showing love to the megaman franchise
My friends were so into this game, I personally avoid any gacha nowadays, but as a standalone game, now that's something I could get into, it's a shame there is no online co-op component, I think I heard my friends always talk about beating stages togheter, or I might be wrong as well.
They're probably playing the mobile version. There are 2 different kinds too. The Taiwan version is shutting down on Septermber 27th. And Global is still up for the time being
this has to be my favourite review of X dive yet. (Shame I got spoiled on a credits cutscene but oh well)
This game is perfect for people that have played other games in the X series, and are still (somewhat) casuals. X dive offline is just that for me.
Maybe someday we might see Megaman X Dive for the Nintendo Switch with online multi-player mode. Maybe.
I am probably going to wait and get it either at some point this month or wait until October. I'm not sure yet, but 1thing is forseetan and that is that this game is on my hit list.
18:44 if the female was in the game, I'd be picking this up at $30 just for her. That is a wicked awesome design.
I like X Dive and I plan to get the Offline version when there's a sale on it. That said, I wish more ZX characters were playable and we got Fefnir and Phantom to complete the Four Guardians. The roster feels incomplete you know?
I do hope more gacha games go the route of X Dive Offline version to preserve these games. I like the fan-service.
Might inspire a fan-game based on it in the future. I know I hope make it.
So... found out that you cannot stack more than 1 of the same skill in the cards. Different levels of that skill works, so you can use a 5 and 4 star version of the same card but if you use 2 5 stars the second card is just stats...
Yeah. The game is weird lol
no you don't seem to understand, you're supposed to talk about how this game shot your dog and caused your parents to break up just because it's not X9 /s
30 bucks is definitely a bit steep but i'm more than happy this big fan service pile will be preserved as it's own release.
Do all characters have unique animations in combat? Nice review btw
Partially. There are unique intro and outro animations and some do have unique traits like shadow armor x clinging to ceilings, gaea armor x not sliding down walls and Super mega man having a third jump and maybe more I don't know about
Also skills are sometimes recycled animations but a good chunk are unique
A+++ video!
any comment on how the story elements/dialogue is, or is it largely throwaway?
It's largely throwaway for the first 12 chapters. I'd say it gets better when droitclair and the others come in since it makes RiCO realize but resist what will inevitably happen when the deep log is corrected
Hey go galactic will you make a guide of this game? Such as best weapon from each category, cards combo, hidden purple thingy in every stage, what character is best for each weapon type? I never played the online version so i’m kind of buying weapon and character that catch my eyes. Jakob elevator is kind of hard with subpar loadout 😢
A lot of videos and guide already exist here on youtube, Reddit or even the X Dive Discord so I feel like I can't really add onto it unfortunately. I know early on, Massimo is king. His shields help a LOT in the jakob elevator when you rank him up. But you can get pretty broken S rank characters pretty fast
@@GoGalactic i see, that's a shame. Mad nautilus in jakob is very annoying with high hp bar and limited time to kill. Luckily they don't regenerate between tries. I'll just keep on pushing i guess. Thank you for the reply
Going to miss PVP
yea dont get me wrong. I got offline and been making videos of it. it seems decent for a mobile game. but there are some issues at least with me. one no pvp or like co op. 2nd the power level scale in story is just a nightmare lol. we dont have the other 2 four legendary guardians. kinda wish we have more bosses and events. also... what I dont like is lets say u want to get roll exe. and yet she requires lab just to even use her... I mean if we have to be honest... by the time u even get to unlock her... u already have at least two characters and mabe 2 swords and 2 blasters max stars lol. also if u want to use units like copy x. u have to be sure u focus only on him to 5 stars, otherwise its going to be very hard because metal is very limited lol. but the pros are easy to get armor because of no limit. i can get lev without having to reroll 1000 times. no energy required. and getting other stuff like cards much easier. honestly I kinda wish all mobile games give u at least a way to grind stuff. now dont get me wrong I like the game but we wouldnt even need to offline mode if they just listen to the fans... personally I give this game 5 out of 10. its not bad but its kinda eh. but I will make like 5 playthrough of beating this game so I play for a while to get my moneys worth. so what u all think? is it worth 30 dollars? to me not really but... I hope they can at least keep update it or something cause 30 is very pricey lol
It seemed like if this did well the devs were wanting to keep adding stuff later on. Sounded more like they had to shut online version down instead of wanted to shut it down.
also as a bonus it seems very odd that lets make lev eh but only if u know how to use her ice dragon shes good. but ciel they made her a god in the game but lets make ciel like eh in her main games... I dont dislike ciel but I just find the logic more odd... also? as I said, if they made more effort in megaman x dive we wouldnt be at this mess and I told them to listen to me but nope...
great review
Rockman >>>>>>>>>> Mega Man
Wow, this is a confusing amount of faff for a Megaman game!
The only real thing that I am REALLY going to miss is the 2-player coo-up. 😢
not gonna lie, it seems like a very fun game to play now that the gacha system was scrapped. i was thinking of waiting for a discount but maybe i just buy it right away.
and just thinking of the modding community adding more and more stuff over the years make it seem completely worth it, the mad lads won't disappoint i am sure
The game itself already was big fan service, so this release being more for hardcore fans than casuals makes sense. Glad they made sure Battle Network was more accessible for newcomers.
both types of fanservice.
Been having a blast with it myself even as a somewhat casual fan of mega man. It does take a bit to get started but overall has been enjoyable. Also funny seeing Vile fail to hurt Alia while she is throwing bouquets at him. Power fantasy for the win!
I think the most exciting aspect of what can happen for this game in the future is mods. Now of course there's gonna be some more obvious stuff, like re-integrating the collab content, adding a mod to transfer data from the online app, re-adding in any of the changed content as additional content like with the original swimsuit for Roll, and finding ways of trying to bring back multiplayer, but I honestly think there can still be a lot more to it than that if enough people care.
I have no idea how modding works in general, but considering that the foundation is what used to be a mobile game, I imagine that it's at least a whole lot easier to make something like all new characters, skin variants, weapons, and stages with their own unique animations and sounds than with something like Mega Man 11. Imagine if in a decade or so from now we can get stuff like every single main boss enemy from depictions of the classic series with their own unique traits. That's just *one* sub series example, and I can't even tell you how many others there be even beyond the officially licensed games like with the various cartoons, scrapped characters and alternate designs, anything that only appeared in comics, rejected contest submissions, alternate designs that haven't been done before like a Zero series X, and even ones based on fan games and more alternate universe ideas. It’s a seemingly endless amount of characters you can think of. Literally hundreds of them, *hundreds.* And again, that's just discussing characters, not the other stuff.
Obviously the release price point is a big problem, but I think future sales and price cuts are going to at least help that a little bit, and it's still a more preferable fate than to be completely wiped from existence like most other mobile games do at the end of the day. Otherwise it's just an alright and mediocre casual game made for the hardcore Mega Man fans who want to see all the references to past titles. It's not a great game, and I don't think any amount of modding is gonna change the core gameplay (Unless they somehow pull off the impossible of a Project M EX Remix type community) but at the same time I can't really say it's bad either, at least for the "Offline" version. It simply exists. Just go into it with the mindset that it was originally for a mobile market and you should be fine.
I do hope that mobile games like this don't happen as often anymore for Mega Man though, because it's very clear that people are starving for some more new proper Mega Man games. (X9, Legends 3, Mega Man 12, etc.) Yes I know it's not taking away development time from Capcom themselves, but I feel like most of the fans for the franchise at this point is older than most and has grown tired of stuff like microtransactions. They might have gotten a pass for it this time, but I don't feel like the same thing would happen again if they tried to pull off another even if it too had an offline version. Fans can only be so forgiving to a certain point, and I think this is the limit. It sucks that they cut the development time out when they still planned for more and was relatively successful, but it was probably for the best in the long run.
And yeah yeah, more poorly made NFTs, we know. What hasn't been said before about NFTs already? If you want to complain about NFTs that are genuinely bad for whatever reason, then look no further at the Acceleracers ones. (Assuming you even know what that is) Now THAT is painful for a multitude of reasons especially to me, and is a lose-lose situation regardless of what happens with those…
*Sorry for the ginormous wall of text btw. I know pretty much no one will read through all of this, and even if someone did, still won't care as much lol.*
I read it all lol. I didn't want to bring up the NFTs because I know that's third party too and it's just Capcom being way too fucking lenient with the megaman license. I don't condone them, I bashed them in the official social media accounts AND the official survey. In the end money talks and it doesn't look like ANYBODY supported them lol
thath stuff about original swimsuit for roll, was that one of those censorship changes, or was there some orther reason?
@@Danielss250 Iirc it had something to do with her not having enough leg coverage when depicting minors for more store and/or country markets, so they gave her a skirt, but I could be wrong. It could just simply be because the devs didn't like it for all I know. Assuming it's true though, it's kinda weird though since most school swimsuits I've seen irl are exactly like the original. Not that I'm complaining though, I still prefer the new version for how much it pops, I just think it would be better to have more options and not remove what's already there.
What's interesting to me is that the online version is still active. So, for those of us who have put in lots of hours, we can still play with everything we've unlocked.
I'm just waiting for a switch port of X Dive offline before I grab it and I'm hoping that all the crossover content gets added later as a free update or a RESONABLY priced DLC. I liked the idea of X Dive but it was really just a mess with the monetization aspects of the game in general.
had been playing the gacha this week and I liked it but then saw your video and immediately uninstalled / bought this version. Really cool.. wish more games did this wiht their gacha. Would have been cool if this came to apple arcade also.
Lore wise, I wonder whats up with characters like Lan being in the EXE character animations? Does it actually take pkace in the EXE world? Or is he just Rockman.exe's imaginary friend?
wish they made an actual effort to make at least the dive armor as capsule that you find during stages
lo disfrute mucho mas que el dive original el cual dropee en menos de una semana luego de se me hiciera muy abusivo.
espero que otros mas juegos empiecen a hacer esto a veces es una pena que todo un contenido y personajes se queden el olvido
I'm glad this isn't another live service game to vanish forever, I'm still confused on why the Collab characters are gone, they are all Capcom.
20 seconds in and my biggest doubt answered, this video is going to be amaizing
Edit: ok... Maybe I'll try this, but it wouldn't be a priority, looks good but all the systems from the gacha is not the most appealing
thanks for the video! ^^
This is great on the deck. You're right. Over 5 hours battery life without having to change any settings.
oooooooooooo
The only good thing about the game is that it gives the industry a reason now to put offline versions of gacha games. The bad thing is the rest, the game is a mess in a lot of senses. It can be entertaining at times but the just a souless experience...
Yeah. The passion kinda exists at first but you can tell by the later stages that they're just recycling assets and set pieces to glue together amateurish megaman maker stages lol. The price of Live-Content games that feel the need to pump content out to keep the game alive.
Lmfao you rlly got me with that kung pow reference 😂
It runs great on my Steam Deck. ❤ I'm enjoying it and it is easy to navigate in Handheld but docked jt js a nightmare. I hope we get mods for collaborations.
Best part 6:18
So you cannot get the MH and DMC collab stuff anymore ?
No. They're not available. I believe modders see that their flags are simply not activated so they might be able to be modded in the near future
Great info vid about this game! Hope youre doing well
Heh thanks. I'm hoping things have been going smoothly for you too!
3:44 ligma.
I'm not a mega man fan at all, but i love the game because of the fact that it's an offline gacha game where you can play it at your own pace without fomo or missing a day to grind or to log in. I can play it whenever and it's fun getting new characters
19:28 what ZX boss??
I misworded and was slightly misinformed and meant character as in Prometheus. But he wasn't in the credits sequence so I kinda lied, sorry lol. I legit blazed through the game all weekend and mad-rushed to edit this video to get it out soon as possible so my B lol
A shame there's no raid or difficult boss fights. Once you maxed out the most powerful setup, there's nothing to bash your head against.
Maybe we could get raid modes as a free dlc.. unlike the Crossover characters which will likely be paid for..
moreover if you play as gaea armor x. not even terrain kills you except fall dmg
@@danarthur771or shadow armor X. IIRC gaea armor is much slower
no collab skins from the free version :c
I know. I really wanted to test out the MH characters on here and do some funny business with Ryu and Magma Dragoon :(
I remember trying to play this but was region locked so I gave up but man does it confirm something for me, gacha games are so fucking underrated, the amount of passion and fan service these types of games have is more than anything I usually see triple A games
I guess it's because these games are pretty much in development even after release so they get plenty of time to add and polish stuff.
That's why it's such a waste to just close these games instead of turning it into an offline version.
They need this perspective of it becoming "finished" rather than "dead/closed"
Just taking away the gacha aspects of it turns it into a completely different game that all of sudden i am interested in.
Oh well I wait for the sale or resort to piracy then, as much I like MegaMan game I think the other collection much worth it than this game at least for now with that price tags.
We didn't get much star force content sadly
Yeah. Part of me wanted Luna Platz added as is, complete human. Maybe with rocket boots attachment sort of how like Mr. Satan in Dragon Ball wears a jetpack as an in-game excuse for him flying lol
@@GoGalactic I wanted black ace so badly I was willing to spend out of pocket on the gacha lol
Wish you could turn auto aim off
You can. It's in the settings at the top left during gameplay. You gotta scroll down!
Is it really in offline version?
Yep! I disabled it personally for challenge mode. I would've brought it up if I remembered to check lmao@@dreamsdeep1076
Why isn't this on consoles😭
I know, it's so well optimized and condensed. It seemed to sell well even on the android playstore so hopefully they'll get the opportunity to port it over... And include functional gamepad controls for the menus lol
Its mostly because the devs probably wanted to cut on time making console port given they already dropped a pc port back when game was online so all they had to do was to make couple small changes to the game to make it offline compatible like changing some the pvp focused cards to more pve etc
Does that mean elemental metal is limited and you can't farm them other than achievement and jacob elevator?
The last story stage rewards you with 100 EM and you can repeat it an infinite number of times.
Yep yep. The final boss fight gives 100 EMs each. There is a LOT of ways to get EMs too so it'll be a while before you resort to farming that as the only option
@@YamiMilo wait so u can farm 100 em like all the time infinite? cause that would be cool if that were the case. cause otherwise how on earth can u get units like copy x lol
Thank you very much, now i can really unlock everything. Will take a while too since there are so many things to unlock
@@GoGalactic I might do it for my second run and use only characters and weapons only from ems lol
Love that this exists. Should be like 10 bucks so everyone can experience megamans histories.
This game is cool; I just hope it leads to more megaman in the future.
I’m glad that X Dive Offline exists at all, but I don’t think its worth the $30 price tag, and the reason is because it’s a lazy port, Its good that they reworked the currency system from the original Online version, as its true that everything can be acquired with just playing now, but if you want to acquire Zenny in a fast and sustainable way, you would need to spam the Zenny race event on Cyber Peacock stage, which after doing a couple of runs you get sick of it, and the same goes for if you need any specific materials for upgrading anything, you need to spam that specific event stage, instead of just playing your favorite levels, and it sucks that you can only get Elemental Metals aside from the first clears, ONLY on the final Story Stage which means you’ll only be killing the final boss over and over again, if you want to get any Ems after you do all the achievements, and first clears all of which I did and I still didn’t have enough EMS to unlock everything, I had to fight the final story stage boss like a million times before I had enough EM to get everything. And as you mentioned yourself in the video, whoever did the localization for the English language should be fired, because a lot of text in the game does not make any sense to describe skills or abilities, or they have typos or words do not make sense combined in a sentence, and they even have the same errors from the story script as when the game first came out online. It also sucks that we have lost Boss raids, Boss rush events and a few other game modes, all of which could have easily been added to the event tab but they didn’t, and they also removed all the collaboration content my favorite weapons and card loadouts being from the Monster Hunter crossover. I have no idea how some people can still defend this game after all of these issues and more, because I did spend 60+ hours to basically get everything done, and my concerns are valid yet some folks take them lightly, and see nothing wrong with paying Capcom an additional $30, after it was Capcom themselves who basically betrayed us by closing down the Asian game, and the game had been very successful and always had people excited about what was coming up after each and every update, so I think as compensation for wasting our time and the money we invested into the game, they should have released the game for free kind of like how Bandai Namco did for Sword Art Online Memory Defrag, where after they closed down that game they just made an offline version where they gave you every 5-6 star unlockable at max level as a free download, because it was their decision to close down the game and it was the least they could do for you, but on the other hand Capcom just tries to milk you for everything you have, even if they are the ones continuously trying to screw you over, because all of us Megaman fans have been loyal and we have been buying the games, we have been supporting all the projects they have even after they made that stupid move with the NFTS, but they just seem to enjoy bullying us and looking down on us, because after a decade of people begging them for Megaman games, and everyone purchasing the eShop games and all the legacy collections and stuff, all we have to show for it is Megaman 11, because X Dive doesn’t count anymore as they shut down that project, and it was the only thing keeping some people happy. I’d say that everyone should boycott Capcom and not buy X Dive in order to prove a point, but that would be a hypocritical thing to suggest since I already bought the game at full price, so the only thing I can recommend is for people to at least wait and buy it at a discounted price, because its not a must play game, and it really doesn’t deserve the $30 price tag, because for it to be worth that much they needed to keep all the collaboration content, and all the other content they removed except obviously for the PVP and COOP stuff, or at the very least they should have added Steam Workshop functionality, because that alone would have been worth the full price, since it would have open the doors for official modding to be added to the game, and that would have meant a bunch of cool stuff coming from the fans, because even in its current closed off version people are still trying to mod for it.
It's fun, tho
Also, you win a huge amount of zenny after playing even a little bit of Story Mode, unless you want everything unlocked from the start. I'm 10 hours in and still haven't had Zenny problems, with a few characters and weapons at rank 5.
It's clear that the team at Capcom Taiwan cares, but partering with Nebula Joy wasn't the best choice. But they should've at least given something to legacy players.
man, there is so much stuff to unlock it would be better if you just take your time, make it challenging and fun.
you don't have to break the game right away, you won't either enjoy the farm nor breezing through the stages
You are absolutely right in all of your criticisms. I have farmed the Zenny stage at max reward for about 2 hours straight just to get all the characters and that's excluding the upgrades and stuff. Most casuals won't notice these issues so it's something use die hards will experience. I do wish they kept the 300k rewards throughout all the stages as well as give chip/weapon/card level up drops for not just story, but events and speed runs since, what is the literal harm? Just throw the balance out the window at this point lol
@@GoGalactic Yeah, its just disappointing, I understand that they must have had a specific budget and timeframe to make the Offline version, which is why I am trying not to be so hard on the game, but things just stack up and it doesn't change the reality of the end result, we cannot afford to continue to give Capcom and other companies any slack, because if we do then things are just going to be worse for us consumers, because they are businesses and their entire point is to make money, so the only way to hurt them is for us not to give them our money, because any reviews or feedback doesn't really matter to them, most of us had been providing ideas and suggestions, but we were barely ever heard through the development of the game, and in the end it was us who ended up losing the most through the closure of the game. I can only hope that the modding community gets good at working with the game, so we can get everything we couldn't get, when we were trying to work with Capcom. To start things off I want the few modders who are currently looking into trying to add the collaboration stuff, to be successful in doing so as that is what I am missing the most. And if somehow they can update the level clear rewards or the costs for some of the stuff that would truly be quality of life changing for the game, but as always things are left in the hands of the fans, its why the Megaman community is so great.
