Yeah. While I still like his reviews I don't like his newer ones quite as much. He gets a little too enthusiastic at times and lays it on kinda thick with the different OSTs from different games. I liked his older deadpan approach more.
@@TheSilverExperience And that's exactly the problem right there. I shouldn't have to unlock the game's title character. Up until that point, X is constantly pouting about how he doesn't wanna fight anymore (hence the joke). Riveting shit there. Fuck X7.
🤦♂️ The idea for axel was pure genius.. "imagine Megaman but with a gun! So he can shoot stuff! pewpewpew!" "Wow that's good thinking, now let's go on break" And a legend is born 😴
I’ve finished every Mega Man game (except Mega Man & Bass, the Legends Series and the Battle Network/Star Force series) and, despite my belief that X6 is worse, I’ve played through that piece of garbage 3/4 times, while I’ve only ever played through X7 once. As for why I’ve played X6 so many times: I’m an idiot who wanted to beat the game with only Zero and only X (after one play through of switching between them)
@@aionicthunder I beat the game with zero and X separately and the X playthrough was much easier with the shadow armor lol that thing is overtuned. On the opposite side of the spectrum beating the game with zero was a nightmare. I still love X6 but man you gotta be in the right mood.
X: Sweet! X2: A great sequel X3: Hard but enjoyable. Play on Virtual Console, tho. X4: Really, really awesome! X5: Very difficult, but great story. X6: decent. X7: Seriously?? MAAAAAAH, VIOLENCE!! X8: Pretty cool! The Zero series was awesome as well.
X4 is good but is extremely ez minus final sigma, the controls are friggin solid in that game, may be the reason i feel it is so ez, it feels so right to move in that game, X6 is frustrating tho, its nothing but cheap deaths, do you like bottomless pits, spikes and other ways to die instantly, X6 is full of them, its just annoying, and lets not mention the nightmare system and the practically repeat armors from X5. Also the bosses minus two are just a cakewalk.
X5 is dogshit unless you patch the game ISO with the patch that removes all alia dialogue and fixes the problem where if you pick Zero you're stuck with no armor X. Even then it's still a chore to play because you have to purposly get 8 or 9 game overs so the bosses level up and you can actually get upgrades from beating them.
Some perspective on the voice acting quality here: the voice of Red has another notable role. As Barry “Jill Sandwich the master of unlocking” Burton from the original Resident Evil.
There are so many more things wrong with Flame Hyenard than his constant yelling. His attacks are super hard to dodge. It's hard to understand that you have to climb the giant horse in the background to actually damage him. The crappy collisions on that giant horse make your jumps fail to work half the time. Climbing on that horse is also glitchy... etc...
MegaPhilX He has the biggest battlefield and yet you can only damage him on the top of the mech, a small arena. The robot is constantly moving and bouncing so actually jumping over his attacks relies on luck. The robot and the fact that he can summon clones has nothing to do with fire or being a hyena. You can't disable the mech...etc.Sorry, just continuing where you left off.
MegaPhilX Also, whenever he turns, you can end up sliding off of the giant gazelle (yeah, I am fairly certain it's a gazelle, which would make sense since he's a hyena and gazelles live in the same environment) and falling into the lava, where you BURN! BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!
12:27 after building up X and making him worth playing with this was my reaction. I was so hyped to get this part and it didn't do shit. I was so ready to quit playing. Only thing kept me at it was what they were going to do with Sigma to utilize the 3D space.
Super Yoshi64 If Inafune decides to stop doing all of these stupid tie-in things and actually releases the damn game. Seriously, Capcom will release a new Mega Man game before Inafune releases Mighty No. 9 at this rate.
TheGlacialWarrior ^THIS. I get Inafune's hyped about this, but we're somehow getting a cartoon and a movie announced before the game releases when it's not a sure-fire success yet? AND trying to make a second *AND THIRD* Kickstarter for what is essentially Mighty No. 9 Legends and a goddamn anime adaptation before Mighty No. 9 even has a chance to breathe!
"1.Jump 2.shoot" IT'S JUST A GAME ABOUT JUMPIN AND SHOOTIN JUMPIN SHOOTIN SHOULD'VE BEEN CALLED 'JUMPIN AND SHOOTIN MAN' JUMPIN AND SHOOTIN HEY MEGA MAN WHAT YA DOIN "OH NOTHING I'M JUST JUMPIN SHOOTING" WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NEXT? "I'M GOING TO RUN TO THE RIGHT THEN FGDFGSHDF THEN I'M GONNA JUMPIN AND SHOOTIN"
@@Ryusuta Yeah, I saw that unfortunately. I still asked the artist to reconsider his decision in the future though, hopefully they will change their mind once everything settles down a bit.
Even after and during the controversy, I binged Jared's videos. Glad to see you're back, man. Your style of humor is something I rarely see on UA-cam anymore
Why didn't they just make X already strong the moment you get him? He's supposed to be the best, right? Give it this feeling of, "He's amazingly strong, but he doesn't WANT to fight, rather than he CAN'T fight," so finally being able to play him suddenly has even more impact than it already would. Oh wait I forgot this game sucks
Funny story about X8, I've never seen the ending for it. My disc got damaged and the game would freeze just as the final cutscene started. The rest of the game played fine, except for that one moment.
Some Kind of Democrat Back when X8 came out, no UA-cam wasn't really a thing yet. And honestly now I'm just waiting to play and beat it again to see the ending, gotta earn that kind of stuff.
"And you get to play as Zero" *Zero's X2 theme starts playing for a second* "...and Axl" *music quickly fades for comedic music* Ouch. I felt that buildup.
@@JNewsted1988 How do you make it that the very character, that the goddamn game is named after, isn't even playable?! *HE'S FRONT AND CENTER ON THE COVER!*
You can say the same for poke'mon I played silver and crystal just fine without tons of tutorials, heck next thing you know the mario series will start with tourials "fire flowers will give you the ability to shoot fire balls make sure to pick these up"
Also, the lock-on should have either been 3d only or at the press of a button. Aiming in 2d could have just been the right stick, and kept a bit of challenge.
I absolutely agree. The Legends series has its flaws, but for the most part it was 3D Mega Man done right, and infinitely superior to X7 in that regard.
Jake Pillsbury omg i paused the vid as it started so i could get somethin to eat, came back and looked at this comment, and my screen was right on the frame where you could see it! that's really cool actually.
X8 is basically X7 done right Better story, cooler mavericks, returned to proper Megaman X gameplay, three different attractive robot ladies who actually give you useful advice that is different depending on who you choose, and you could play as all three heroes at the start, even the voice acting is better! I would not mind there not being anymore X games, X8 is the best we are going to get in terms of a finishing game
No this is much worse because this is boring as hell sonic 06 even with all it's many many problems in the end it's still pretty fun though maybe it's just a guilty pleasure I guess that happens if you ask for sonic 06 Christmas 2014

While not perfect by any stretch, i honestly think people exagerate in their hate for x6, and personally i even like it ... i also do think people exagerated their hate to MN9, and while it obviously didn't lived up to the hype, i think people bash on it more due to its troubled production(the masterclass trailer was just rubbing salt on a wound, had the development not being so bad, i think most people would have let it slide and even get a few self-deprecating snikers instead of the massive bashing and calling it a capital offense to their core audience) than due to the end result itself , just like i feel people bash more on X6 due to it supposedly being rushed in less than a year, minor retconning and witouth inafunes input than due to the game itself X6 needed to give a little bit more of a breather/ error margin on saving reploids and take into consideration unarmored X (and according to some, tone down its diffiuclty, i find it alright save a few cheap spots) and specially remapping Zero's Sentsuizan (pressing the up button making an attack go downwards is not a good idea, specially when you're trying to grab a wire over a bottomless pit), and a bit of polish on some areas but overall i consider it a good game MN9 needs to rely less on F´CKING CHEAP INSTA-DEATH TRAPS (and probably considering extending the mercy invisibility to them as well, all the games after the original Megaman got it right) and not making dashing into enemies a necesary mechanic to destroy them, the Xel Absorption should JUST be an incentive for high risk/high reward expert players, not a punishment for players who want to play a little more safe by making them either have to shot a ton of lemons before destroying a single enemy or forcing less expereinced players do run straight into an enemy's fist if they didn't counted/timed correctly their shots or moved to a more crowded area where trying to finish an enemy means you'll get hurt by the others. i feel MN9 trie too hard on bieng a "HIGH SPEED HIGH ADRENALINE ACTION PACKED " game and dare i say, tries to be a speedrunner focused game, where you must have perfect reflexes, perfectly memorized enemy posicioning and finish it off fast and achieve the highest score, and if you don't youll just get yourself into a world of frustration .while ironically, it's predecesors (specially the original megaman) were more about understanding your enviorement and taking things slowly(without it being a chore or taking forever), clearing your path before proceeding and often the worst you could do was to be impatient as that would mean running straight into an enemy attack (somehting MN9 on the other hand tries to incentivice), and yet all the other series still have a healty speed runner fanbase for those who have mastered the game and push it to their limits, while still being friendly to more casual players. i feel MN9 is misguieded in this aspect, and by trying to make it more "hardcore", migh end up alienating the rest of the fanbase, and let's be honest, even if seeing the pros pullin some crazy s#1t, if your average player only experiences frustration after frustation, they'll leave, and you'll lose mane fans/clients who would otherwise become eternal fans or being in their first step towards becoming the next generation pro's at the game) AS FOR what should X7 do....just play the clip,you know the one
People only give that game a pass because it's 2D. X6 had godawful level design, a rushed translation, the Nightmare Mechanic was broken as fuck, the game literally opens with a gigantic plot hole (so, three weeks have passed since X5 and humanity was nearly wiped out? So why the fuck does X still remember Zero? That is the result of the good ending that took place three years later and you managed to stop the Eurasia crash), Zero's death from X5 was retconned so insultingly stupid this side of Nanako Dojima (he repaired himself? Were the writers even fucking trying?), and it butt-fucked Inafune's original plans for the "Mega Man Zero" series. X5 was supposed to be the last, but Capcom got greedy. They didn't care when they made it, and you could tell with how the game was designed and translated. At least X7 was finished. X7's worst flaws were Axl and people not getting used to the new 3D design. I stand by what I say. If X7 is "Sonic '06," then X6 is "Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric."
you compare x6 with sonic boom just because of the story? sonic boom is awful, both gameplay wise and story. You can dislike megaman x6 story, but i personally think that x6 gameplay is just like the others and i found it very likeable, which don't happens with sonic boom... Sorry not native a speaker.
Miyamoto Fan The difference between Zelda and Mega Man is that Mega Man has ALWAYS been playable from the start. The series REVOLVES around HIM. In the Legend of Zelda series, the protagonist has always been Link.
I know these characters are robots, but that doesn't mean the performances have to be robotic. For one thing, they could've cast Crispin Freeman as Zero; his voice is naturally deep and he's talented
@@DrDolan2000 While money may have played a hand, that's not the primary issue. To give you an idea of the primary issue, consider where X4 was dubbed.
I guess that's why every VA in this game got replaced with the ones in x8. And those VAs got carried over to command mission and maverick hunter x. Plus the ova.
How to make Mega Man X7 better: -Make X Playable at the start -No 3d sections -Faster movement -Taunts at boss battles kept to a minimum -Quick or no tutorials -No automatic lock on -Items useable by all characters -A theme to play when getting an upgrade -Usefull Upgrade Pods -A more relaxed Jet bike level -Better voice acting -Non repeative messages -"X, Buck the f**k up." -Better weapons for each character (Im looking at you Zero)
Kenneth Waterman I'd recommend playing them. And when I say that, I mean ALL OF THEM (even X7), in order. Never lower your expectations for a game you've never played (I had the opposite experience with X4 where I pushed my expectations too high, and thus I ended up not enjoying it as much as the others).
You know, Axl isn't bad in the same sense as Silver. In fact, Silver is my favorite Sonic character because he is unique and so different compared to any other Sonic character.
The 'You unlocked something!' noise from The Binding of Isaac at 2:09 subconsciously brought back feelings of relief and satisfaction that I now associate with the review. You play so many mindgames in your videos, Jared.
Ironically, I'll be playing THIS instead of the whole Kingdom Hearts series. HOLD IT!!! 🤚Lemme explain: I play for story most of the time, and going back to it after finishing the story. Kingdom hearts: Number 3 shouldn't even be made after how it got presented. Megaman X: 7 is bad while 6 is majorly panned, but one is fun and the other is trying. Kingdom hearts is great to play, but. DAMN that story to hell!
@@lyndonluquin4091 To me, you just got to be really dedicated to understand the story. It's like eating a pie with chocolate, then you take away the chocolate. I mean sure the pie is all good in it's own, but you can make it better by adding that chocolate back. Pie is the base game and the story is the chocolate.
@@gimmiemilkplz True, but what if the chocolate is Dark Chocolate? In other words ya got high hopes for what you were going for, only to be given a different pie and hate how they finished. Plus I see someone saw the "Games described as food" series as I have, and thus yet another man of culture that I see. Heh heh heh.
Corrections: Warfly's stage has a really short 2D section before the boss. There are 16 reploids in all 8 maverick stages! so you only have to complete 4 stages to unlock X.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga was fantastic. Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time and Bowser's Inside Story were great. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team was, you know, good. Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, was, not as good, but they are all still fun..
Jamie Dickinson Yes I have. That's what I mean by you control them. Your comment made it seem like you feel you're playing Pokemon with Digimon or something like that. It's the way it's worded.
Metroid Other M Samus vs. Mega Man X-7 in a fight! Samus: I've come into contact with a robot, preparing to engage. Adam: Samus, you are not authorized to fight that robot! X: MEEEEEERRR violence! Samus: How about... Adam: No. X: MEEEEEERRR violence! Samus: Come on Adam... Adam: NO! X: MEEEEEERRR violence!
And now: No X games for 11 years (X8 in 2004) No classic games in 5 years (MM10) No Legends in 15 years (Legends 2 in 2000) Then there were the 4 simultaneously announced and cancelled games, all to fuck with the Mega Man fan base because CAPCOM is run by bitchy gossipy little shits who want to "get back" at Inafune for leaving. You don't see Sega doing that to Yuji Naka for making his own company.
MukuCountDouku 23 it's better than nothing, but it won't be the same. It's sad enough to see Capcom cut the franchise but it's even more sad to see what is essentially a knockoff step up and become the game we've all been wanting for a long time now.
MukuCountDouku 23 I mean, nobody's entitled to anything, but if capcom took a shit and put a 'Megaman 11' postit note on it, selling it to the masses. You could say "at least we got Megaman 11," but at the same time, we just plain got a piece of shit. Also, if you think MN9 looks good, I feel happy for you, because that means that you can enjoy bad games, something I wish I could do, since it'd mean that I could be playing so many games right now and have fun.

x is voiced by len heart in this game. she is one of the greatest voice actors of all time, which even earned her a spot as a comentater for All Japan Wrestling.
Something else that bugs me about X7 that I don't hear a lot of people mention: I hate how the 'cutscenes' are just text with voice acting and sprites. Yeah, that was passable in the 2D games, but when your first and foremost selling point is that you're all cool and 3D, it comes across as lazy that your presentation amounts to a powerpoint with some bad voice acting.
"How do you make it that the very character that the god dammed game is named after isn't even playable?" Hello, Legend of Zelda. How are you this fine day? Oh, Metroid! How'd you been? Long time no see? Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3! Aww man I miss you guys so much! You guys are amazing! Man. Those games. So much fun. I love playing those games who you play as something other than what the game is named after.
The difference with most of those are, we don't go in expecting to play as the titular characters. We've know since the beginning you play as link and samus. With Megaman X, we've spent 6 games expecting to play as X. So while you have a point, there is a very definitive difference.
One good thing came out of this game. Mega Man ZX Advent. Okay granted, the only thing it drew out of this was Mega Man A (Biometal Model A is based off of Axl for those who don't know) himself, but it's cool in that game :D
It was created to emulate Master Albert and his A-trans ability, but it's character design, weapons, voice and personality closely resemble those of Axl, who also just happened to be the first reploid with A-trans even though he isn't even mentioned in MZX:A. Nice try though
TheMamaluigi300 ...holy shit! hadn't even thought of that. Granted the zx series are a continuation of the zero series, but the original x and zero are referenced in the former and actually show up in the latter, both without so much as a mention of Axl. Maybe he never became an official hunter and that's why there's no record of him? I never finished 7 and 8 so I'm not sure ^_^
Model A is what Axl should've always been. The concept of being able to play as the Mavericks is so sick, it absolutely has to be revisted if we ever get an X9.
My opinions on the main X games X1: Pretty great start to the series, but it's not my absolute favorite. X2: For me, the best of the SNES games. While the music isn't as badass as X1's, the rest of the game besides Pickle Maverick makes up for it. X3: Good. That's really all I have to say, never found it as interesting as the previous 2... X4: It's an awesome game, but I wish X's weapons had a bit more power to them. Final stages should be longer too. X5: Certainly not perfect, but I enjoyed this one the most out of the 8 X games. X6: Terrible, but I do enjoy it from time to time. X7: Terrible too, and I didn't really enjoy much of it besides 4 stages. X8: Great game, but it has terrible weapons for X, and an overall mediocre Maverick lineup.
Ya boi Kerbe Looks good... Except for X6. X6 is SIGNIFICANTLY worse than X7. Sure X7 is boring, but X6 has the must unfair, bland, enfuriating, and lazy level design in the entire series.
Some Kind of Democrat Meh. X6 has questionable level design, as I said, but I didn't find it AS bad. At least when it comes to Maverick stages, that is, I won't deny how bad Gate's lab is.
You know, I'm not even AGAINST the idea that X, being naturally pacifistic and the more kindhearted out of the Hunters, is now so sick of the fighting that he wants to give up or is actively questioning "just how much good are we doing when we have to keep doing this and it never seems to end"? But the way they went about it was wrong. It would have been better to play as him but to have him questioning just how much good he's doing from the start, and to then have it made clear at the end that what he does DOES help, however small an impact he may think he has. Though to be honest, there's one big problem I have with the Mega Man series and its the lack of human characters. Seriously, think about it. We never see the real impact that Robot Masters and Mavericks have on humans, who are pretty much the biggest target. They're just shoved to the side. It's why the Z and ZX games were refreshing, you could play as a human or work right alongside them and be able to understand the struggle from their POV. That made what you were doing feel meaningful. But even then, there's something that's always glossed over. The idea that "Oh, how awful humans are for developing weapons of war, yadda yadda yadda". When it's ROBOTS who have been causing the most damage in the series, killing more people in a few years than half of human history combined. ELF WARS anyone? And half the planet was killed off thanks to Maverick behavior during X5 and Eurasia. But no, no, it's HUMANS who are the big problem with the planet, not a species that's inherently ten times more powerful, can easily snap a human in half if they met them on the street, has weapons built into them and armor-GIMME A BREAK. If the average human tried to fight the average reploid, he'd be a grease stain in seconds, but noooooooo! You keep whining about how untrustwothy and awful humanity is, series. And ignore your own shameless hypocrisy.
Nick Grey What's even worse with X in this one is that he is a huge whiny dick about it on top of it being a subject he has brought up in just about every game in the series. So it's overdone as all hell but he's being a douche on top of it. Actively refusing to fight when he knows there are lives that are in danger, he had to basically be forced into getting off his ass to do anything. Maybe he wasnt playable from the start because Capcom knew how much of a douchenozzle they made him :p
Nick Grey They went overboard with his pacifist views in some games. He's not supposed to be all "EWWW VIOLENCE!", he's supposed to USE violence, knowing it's not the best approach to everything...but it's the only one available.
Unshaved Stuff X is that way because he always know that: 1: he is the reason that reploids exist and by the same way, mavericks and 2 that he knows that eventually every reploid (even himself) will become a maverick if the virus is not destroy it... and that the guy that have the virus just looks imortal as fuck dont give X a lot of hope, this came from he was betrayed by double in X4 went he have to fight zero and eventually defeat sigma again and zero die in X5, and went he see anya being sad about her old friend gate goes maverick and that X have to defeat him... and sigma... again... thats why went he became the king of new arcadia he choose to "die" to seal the dark elf... he was to tired of fight an endless war
Nick Grey This, so much. Although, they're soooorta justified in that it was Weil who was responsible for the Elf Wars. Then again, it was just one guy. But also, I guess one guy was enough because it was that one guy who threw the entire world into hell
Other than the good soundtrack and nice looking character models, I can't say anything else good about X7. I'm surprised that Jared didn't point out how many load times are in the stage where you fight the mavericks again; if I remember correctly, there are about 18 load screens in that stage.
Mega SilverX I know it's PS and standards were way different back then, but "nice looking", really? They look like crap. Models are low-poly, they're too small so there's a lot of distortion especially when they're moving. It's especially jarring compared to previous Rockman X games on PS with sharp 2D sprites.
Roy Number 1 Capcom may not, but Nintendo still does, they did him justice with Smash Bros. As for actual Megaman games, he's dead and buried by Capcom's lack of interest in making good games.
Roy Number 1 Yes they do. Kinda. There are plans for a tv-show and the trailer of the megaman 1-6 "remakes" said that they used a brand new engine so they could work on something new otherwise they wouldn't create a new engine.

X5 "great" story.
X4 is good but is extremely ez minus final sigma, the controls are friggin solid in that game, may be the reason i feel it is so ez, it feels so right to move in that game, X6 is frustrating tho, its nothing but cheap deaths, do you like bottomless pits, spikes and other ways to die instantly, X6 is full of them, its just annoying, and lets not mention the nightmare system and the practically repeat armors from X5. Also the bosses minus two are just a cakewalk.
X5 is dogshit unless you patch the game ISO with the patch that removes all alia dialogue and fixes the problem where if you pick Zero you're stuck with no armor X.

His attacks are super hard to dodge. It's hard to understand that you have to climb the giant horse in the background to actually damage him. The crappy collisions on that giant horse make your jumps fail to work half the time. Climbing on that horse is also glitchy... etc...
MegaPhilX Cool name!
MegaPhilX He has the biggest battlefield and yet you can only damage him on the top of the mech, a small arena. The robot is constantly moving and bouncing so actually jumping over his attacks relies on luck. The robot and the fact that he can summon clones has nothing to do with fire or being a hyena. You can't disable the mech...etc.Sorry, just continuing where you left off.
Biscuit Eater Elliott
Exactly right! :)
MegaPhilX i actualy find his consatnt yelling funny
MegaPhilX Also, whenever he turns, you can end up sliding off of the giant gazelle (yeah, I am fairly certain it's a gazelle, which would make sense since he's a hyena and gazelles live in the same environment) and falling into the lava, where you BURN! BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!
12:27 after building up X and making him worth playing with this was my reaction. I was so hyped to get this part and it didn't do shit. I was so ready to quit playing. Only thing kept me at it was what they were going to do with Sigma to utilize the 3D space.
Thanks, X7. You killed the sales of both X8 and Command Mission.

@@zcritten Truth
Same. I also did this with Pyrocynical.
Why didn't they just make X already strong the moment you get him?
He's supposed to be the best, right? Give it this feeling of, "He's amazingly strong, but he doesn't WANT to fight, rather than he CAN'T fight," so finally being able to play him suddenly has even more impact than it already would.
Oh wait I forgot this game sucks
This is the franchise worst moments
He is kinda OP when you get him. His charge shot is bigger than he is

@@theiceman4494 Yeah, I agree. Because I hadn't had any problems with X in the first time.

He probably was sarcastic with how badly Red Alert proceeded to be decimated.
At least X8 is good.
Indeed
The Quarter Guy yes it was
Funny story about X8, I've never seen the ending for it. My disc got damaged and the game would freeze just as the final cutscene started. The rest of the game played fine, except for that one moment.
Andy Holloway So UA-cam apparently isn't a thing?
Some Kind of Democrat Back when X8 came out, no UA-cam wasn't really a thing yet. And honestly now I'm just waiting to play and beat it again to see the ending, gotta earn that kind of stuff.

isn't it ironic how the series that made you learn and understand patterns like a normal human now made you watch a tutorial .
You can say the same for poke'mon I played silver and crystal just fine without tons of tutorials, heck next thing you know the mario series will start with tourials "fire flowers will give you the ability to shoot fire balls make sure to pick these up"
Wtf
12:41 Actually, the arms also give the charge shot 3 tiny bullets that home in on targets.
They were just too lazy to tell you!
Mega man worked in 3d exactly twice. (not counting battle network and star force) And that was in the two mega man legends games.
Also, the lock-on should have either been 3d only or at the press of a button. Aiming in 2d could have just been the right stick, and kept a bit of challenge.
I absolutely agree. The Legends series has its flaws, but for the most part it was 3D Mega Man done right, and infinitely superior to X7 in that regard.
mastrvidman15 They shouldn't have had lock-on in general. They should have made it Ratchet and Clank aiming.
I just noticed that the dust cloud in the normal boots logo is the clouds in the original Super Mario Bros.!

No, i'm pretty sure thet the dust clouds are the 'bushes' from Super Mario Bros.

X8 is basically X7 done right
Better story, cooler mavericks, returned to proper Megaman X gameplay, three different attractive robot ladies who actually give you useful advice that is different depending on who you choose, and you could play as all three heroes at the start, even the voice acting is better!
I would not mind there not being anymore X games, X8 is the best we are going to get in terms of a finishing game
***** In my opinion, English voice-acting was just spot-on in X8! Would be nice to see ProJared reviewing it .3.
That would be cool, though I do think Jared is at his best when reviewing bad games it is also great to see him review games he truly enjoys
I think positive reviews are just as great as negative ones.
***** yeah but....IT ENDED WITH A FUCKING OPEN ENDING.
Andy A even with that, I thought the game ended well as a series and isn't the open ending the bad one? Because theirs like 3 endings or something

+Charlie's Channel It looks like it's the DMC2 of the series, to me. Only worse.

You know, I hear people complain about Mighty No. 9...and then I remember this game and X6.
go away from x6! thats my favorite! :(
While not perfect by any stretch, i honestly think people exagerate in their hate for x6, and personally i even like it
... i also do think people exagerated their hate to MN9, and while it obviously didn't lived up to the hype, i think people bash on it more due to its troubled production(the masterclass trailer was just rubbing salt on a wound, had the development not being so bad, i think most people would have let it slide and even get a few self-deprecating snikers instead of the massive bashing and calling it a capital offense to their core audience) than due to the end result itself , just like i feel people bash more on X6 due to it supposedly being rushed in less than a year, minor retconning and witouth inafunes input than due to the game itself
X6 needed to give a little bit more of a breather/ error margin on saving reploids and take into consideration unarmored X (and according to some, tone down its diffiuclty, i find it alright save a few cheap spots) and specially remapping Zero's Sentsuizan (pressing the up button making an attack go downwards is not a good idea, specially when you're trying to grab a wire over a bottomless pit), and a bit of polish on some areas but overall i consider it a good game
MN9 needs to rely less on F´CKING CHEAP INSTA-DEATH TRAPS (and probably considering extending the mercy invisibility to them as well, all the games after the original Megaman got it right) and not making dashing into enemies a necesary mechanic to destroy them, the Xel Absorption should JUST be an incentive for high risk/high reward expert players, not a punishment for players who want to play a little more safe by making them either have to shot a ton of lemons before destroying a single enemy or forcing less expereinced players do run straight into an enemy's fist if they didn't counted/timed correctly their shots or moved to a more crowded area where trying to finish an enemy means you'll get hurt by the others. i feel MN9 trie too hard on bieng a "HIGH SPEED HIGH ADRENALINE ACTION PACKED " game and dare i say, tries to be a speedrunner focused game, where you must have perfect reflexes, perfectly memorized enemy posicioning and finish it off fast and achieve the highest score, and if you don't youll just get yourself into a world of frustration .while ironically, it's predecesors (specially the original megaman) were more about understanding your enviorement and taking things slowly(without it being a chore or taking forever), clearing your path before proceeding and often the worst you could do was to be impatient as that would mean running straight into an enemy attack (somehting MN9 on the other hand tries to incentivice), and yet all the other series still have a healty speed runner fanbase for those who have mastered the game and push it to their limits, while still being friendly to more casual players. i feel MN9 is misguieded in this aspect, and by trying to make it more "hardcore", migh end up alienating the rest of the fanbase, and let's be honest, even if seeing the pros pullin some crazy s#1t, if your average player only experiences frustration after frustation, they'll leave, and you'll lose mane fans/clients who would otherwise become eternal fans or being in their first step towards becoming the next generation pro's at the game)
AS FOR what should X7 do....just play the clip,you know the one
People only give that game a pass because it's 2D. X6 had godawful level design, a rushed translation, the Nightmare Mechanic was broken as fuck, the game literally opens with a gigantic plot hole (so, three weeks have passed since X5 and humanity was nearly wiped out? So why the fuck does X still remember Zero? That is the result of the good ending that took place three years later and you managed to stop the Eurasia crash), Zero's death from X5 was retconned so insultingly stupid this side of Nanako Dojima (he repaired himself? Were the writers even fucking trying?), and it butt-fucked Inafune's original plans for the "Mega Man Zero" series. X5 was supposed to be the last, but Capcom got greedy. They didn't care when they made it, and you could tell with how the game was designed and translated. At least X7 was finished. X7's worst flaws were Axl and people not getting used to the new 3D design. I stand by what I say. If X7 is "Sonic '06," then X6 is "Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric."
you compare x6 with sonic boom just because of the story? sonic boom is awful, both gameplay wise and story. You can dislike megaman x6 story, but i personally think that x6 gameplay is just like the others and i found it very likeable, which don't happens with sonic boom... Sorry not native a speaker.
Diego Alves I mentioned the fucktarded level design and Nightmare Mechanic, didn't I?
ProJared speaks so clearly even the auto-generated subtitles understands him
How can the title character not be playable?
Good question, why not ask the Zelda series?
Miyamoto Fan The difference between Zelda and Mega Man is that Mega Man has ALWAYS been playable from the start. The series REVOLVES around HIM. In the Legend of Zelda series, the protagonist has always been Link.

@@sonicboy678 Well... shit. Not enough money?
@@DrDolan2000 While money may have played a hand, that's not the primary issue.
To give you an idea of the primary issue, consider where X4 was dubbed.
It’s especially inconsistent as the Mega Man Legends series had great voice acting. So what’s their excuse here?
I guess that's why every VA in this game got replaced with the ones in x8. And those VAs got carried over to command mission and maverick hunter x. Plus the ova.

How to make Mega Man X7 better:
-Make X Playable at the start
-No 3d sections
-Faster movement
-Taunts at boss battles kept to a minimum
-Quick or no tutorials
-No automatic lock on
-Items useable by all characters
-A theme to play when getting an upgrade
-Usefull Upgrade Pods
-A more relaxed Jet bike level
-Better voice acting
-Non repeative messages
-"X, Buck the f**k up."
-Better weapons for each character (Im looking at you Zero)
Kenneth Waterman Basically, make X8 and slap X7 on the cover.
You know what they say though: You can wipe garbage until it's shiny, but then all you have is shiny garbage.
I never really played any of the X series in my case but the way ProJared makes it, it seems pretty bad.
Kenneth Waterman I'd recommend playing them. And when I say that, I mean ALL OF THEM (even X7), in order. Never lower your expectations for a game you've never played (I had the opposite experience with X4 where I pushed my expectations too high, and thus I ended up not enjoying it as much as the others).
+Kenneth Waterman Change "No 3D sections" for "No 3D at all". As much as there are so many great 3D games out there, 3D ruined also ruined many games.
Alx is like Silver from Sonic '06 to me.
You know, Axl isn't bad in the same sense as Silver. In fact, Silver is my favorite Sonic character because he is unique and so different compared to any other Sonic character.

I think we can all rest easy knowing Mega Man 11 won't be like this.
hopefully
some people are still going to shittalk it for being different...
I personally don't like the art style, but I trust it will be a good game.
The slow motion mechanic had me worried from day one. Then I watched this video again and now I'll be happy with whatever that game turns out to be.
and now we know for a fact it's not like this
I played through it, it’s amazing. A little easier than the other games but hey, it’s not the NES era anymore when games were challenging as fuck.
This game had Other M syndrome long before Other M even existed.
but Other M main problem was it story and how they treat Samus but the game play is fun.
THE BABY
Metroid Other M Samus vs. Mega Man X-7 in a fight!
Samus: I've come into contact with a robot, preparing to engage.

Adam: No.
X: MEEEEEERRR violence!
Samus: Come on Adam...

At least the 3D in Other M is tolerable.
Michael Scagliarini Yeah, but the controls are awkward, and the aiming is automatic.
And now:
No X games for 11 years (X8 in 2004)
No classic games in 5 years (MM10)
No Legends in 15 years (Legends 2 in 2000)
Then there were the 4 simultaneously announced and cancelled games, all to fuck with the Mega Man fan base because CAPCOM is run by bitchy gossipy little shits who want to "get back" at Inafune for leaving. You don't see Sega doing that to Yuji Naka for making his own company.
At least we're getting mighty number 9
And potentially Red Ash.
Adam Williams And whatever else we get as a replacement for X and Zero.
MukuCountDouku 23 it's better than nothing, but it won't be the same. It's sad enough to see Capcom cut the franchise but it's even more sad to see what is essentially a knockoff step up and become the game we've all been wanting for a long time now.
MukuCountDouku 23 I mean, nobody's entitled to anything, but if capcom took a shit and put a 'Megaman 11' postit note on it, selling it to the masses. You could say "at least we got Megaman 11," but at the same time, we just plain got a piece of shit.
Also, if you think MN9 looks good, I feel happy for you, because that means that you can enjoy bad games, something I wish I could do, since it'd mean that I could be playing so many games right now and have fun.
This game might have been shit, but X8 was fucking awesome.
I can agree. X8 was godlike.
+Ragamuffin Skullman X8 wasn't that good imo
Ronan Linten You can have your own opinion. But I loved X8.
X8 fixed almost every mistakes in X7
Kenshin 811 They fixed the gameplay, graphics, voice acting... and the Chaser Bike sections are actually good!
Career: doing okay
Jared: BURN IT TO THE GROUND
@@strawberryjogurt6134 you could say what he did was VILE for what he did to his wife. We all thought he was a DYNAMO guy but it turns out he DOUBLE crossed his wife, his friends, fans, and career. Don't know why he wanted fans to SIGMA his SABER and rebound strikers. In the end, poor Jared got BUST(er)ED.
@@strawberryjogurt6134 In the end, his life and career are HUNTED. Sad thing to see him go MAVERICK on everyone who loved him dearly. For now we could only put a CAPSULE on this career he made.
@@fodv93 Eh! I've done much worse.
@@strawberryjogurt6134 i would say that after this situation,the most success he would have would still be a Middy-ling career
This sucks cause this was the ONE video of his I loved.

What drugs were they on when they thought Tornado Tonion was a good idea for a boss?
joão carlos What drugs were they on when they though the *whole game* was a good idea?
King All of them.
King Red flowers
joão carlos Sadly he's actually my favorite of all the bosses in this game.

It's kinda sad that even the 2005 Shadow the hedgehog game had better 3D run'n gun gameplay than this Mega Man X game.

x is voiced by len heart in this game. she is one of the greatest voice actors of all time, which even earned her a spot as a comentater for All Japan Wrestling.
Is this a joke or something or are you serious?
@@mailman7 I'm dead serious.
@@rolingthunder8612 Yeah sorry to disapoint but that info is wrong
@@mailman7 I think they may be talking about the Japanese voice. The English voice for X is some Peter dude
Something else that bugs me about X7 that I don't hear a lot of people mention: I hate how the 'cutscenes' are just text with voice acting and sprites. Yeah, that was passable in the 2D games, but when your first and foremost selling point is that you're all cool and 3D, it comes across as lazy that your presentation amounts to a powerpoint with some bad voice acting.
@Joshua Fischer Ikr? X7 cutscenes drag on for far too long to the point you just wanna say can we please speed things up here?
after watching this again can I just appreciate the complete use of Megaman x4 music and how its the best music the series ever had?
"How do you make it that the very character that the god dammed game is named after isn't even playable?"
Hello, Legend of Zelda. How are you this fine day?
Oh, Metroid! How'd you been? Long time no see?
Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3! Aww man I miss you guys so much! You guys are amazing!
Man. Those games. So much fun. I love playing those games who you play as something other than what the game is named after.
Yeah, I noticed that too, but the cover also has X on it front and center, so yeah....
The difference with most of those are, we don't go in expecting to play as the titular characters.
We've know since the beginning you play as link and samus.
With Megaman X, we've spent 6 games expecting to play as X.
So while you have a point, there is a very definitive difference.
Then again, Metal Gear Solid 2 pulled the same shit, and everyone loves that game.
So I change my mind, you definitely have a point.
Now everyone loves it, at the time people went bonkers
+Joseph Iles shame we cant play as metal ge-
mgs4 to the rescue!
3:17 - MEEEH, VIOLENCE!
One good thing came out of this game. Mega Man ZX Advent. Okay granted, the only thing it drew out of this was Mega Man A (Biometal Model A is based off of Axl for those who don't know) himself, but it's cool in that game :D
Actually, it's supposed to be based off someone else, but I still think it's Axl, damnit!
It was created to emulate Master Albert and his A-trans ability, but it's character design, weapons, voice and personality closely resemble those of Axl, who also just happened to be the first reploid with A-trans even though he isn't even mentioned in MZX:A.
Nice try though
+That guy with the face You know what, that does bring up the question of "where the fuck DID Axl go after X8?"
TheMamaluigi300
...holy shit! hadn't even thought of that. Granted the zx series are a continuation of the zero series, but the original x and zero are referenced in the former and actually show up in the latter, both without so much as a mention of Axl.
Maybe he never became an official hunter and that's why there's no record of him? I never finished 7 and 8 so I'm not sure ^_^
Model A is what Axl should've always been. The concept of being able to
play as the Mavericks is so sick, it absolutely has to be revisted if we
ever get an X9.
3D is the poisonous apple that killed Sonic and Megaman.
Mago The Snowman it didnt kill megaman but sonic it killed in an instant some of those megaman games after that were decent
Mago The Snowman I don't know about megaman since legends was good.
Well, Megaman X at least. Legends was great
Mago The Snowman cough cough Colors, Generations
***** by that logic megaman x7 isnt 3d

literally the best scene in any video youve made
Can you hear me? projared?
HEY! LISTEN!
Jared: "SHUT UP!"
9:17. That actually happens in X8. Axl was just the prototype.
The best thing about this that it redeemed itself with x8
True
Soon the unofficial demake will redeem this shit game
Plz keep this alive capcom
Don't pull a Nintendo on your fans plz :)
anybody here cause future jared told you too?
Yep. It feels good to be back, knowing the whole controversy was a bunch of meaningless BS.
Mhm, these were always really enjoyable videos, so it's nice to be back
Good thing I have a whole playlist of these saved
Yesh.
My opinions on the main X games
X1: Pretty great start to the series, but it's not my absolute favorite.
X2: For me, the best of the SNES games. While the music isn't as badass as X1's, the rest of the game besides Pickle Maverick makes up for it.
X3: Good. That's really all I have to say, never found it as interesting as the previous 2...
X4: It's an awesome game, but I wish X's weapons had a bit more power to them. Final stages should be longer too.
X5: Certainly not perfect, but I enjoyed this one the most out of the 8 X games.
X6: Terrible, but I do enjoy it from time to time.
X7: Terrible too, and I didn't really enjoy much of it besides 4 stages.
X8: Great game, but it has terrible weapons for X, and an overall mediocre Maverick lineup.
Ya boi Kerbe I totally agree exepy for 2. I love tge mavricks in 2
King Daniel The Dandy
The Mavericks in X2 grew on me a lot since I made this comment. Especially Flame Stag. I have to edit this comment.
Ya boi Kerbe Okay cool. My opinion is that all the robot masters are cool(exept for hyneraed or however you spell it).
Ya boi Kerbe Looks good... Except for X6. X6 is SIGNIFICANTLY worse than X7. Sure X7 is boring, but X6 has the must unfair, bland, enfuriating, and lazy level design in the entire series.
Some Kind of Democrat
Meh. X6 has questionable level design, as I said, but I didn't find it AS bad. At least when it comes to Maverick stages, that is, I won't deny how bad Gate's lab is.
MERRRRRR VIOLENCE
Grookey isn’t my favorite, but the description was so horrifyingly relatable to me
You know, I'm not even AGAINST the idea that X, being naturally pacifistic and the more kindhearted out of the Hunters, is now so sick of the fighting that he wants to give up or is actively questioning "just how much good are we doing when we have to keep doing this and it never seems to end"? But the way they went about it was wrong. It would have been better to play as him but to have him questioning just how much good he's doing from the start, and to then have it made clear at the end that what he does DOES help, however small an impact he may think he has.
Though to be honest, there's one big problem I have with the Mega Man series and its the lack of human characters. Seriously, think about it. We never see the real impact that Robot Masters and Mavericks have on humans, who are pretty much the biggest target. They're just shoved to the side. It's why the Z and ZX games were refreshing, you could play as a human or work right alongside them and be able to understand the struggle from their POV. That made what you were doing feel meaningful.
But even then, there's something that's always glossed over. The idea that "Oh, how awful humans are for developing weapons of war, yadda yadda yadda". When it's ROBOTS who have been causing the most damage in the series, killing more people in a few years than half of human history combined. ELF WARS anyone? And half the planet was killed off thanks to Maverick behavior during X5 and Eurasia. But no, no, it's HUMANS who are the big problem with the planet, not a species that's inherently ten times more powerful, can easily snap a human in half if they met them on the street, has weapons built into them and armor-GIMME A BREAK. If the average human tried to fight the average reploid, he'd be a grease stain in seconds, but noooooooo! You keep whining about how untrustwothy and awful humanity is, series. And ignore your own shameless hypocrisy.
Nick Grey What's even worse with X in this one is that he is a huge whiny dick about it on top of it being a subject he has brought up in just about every game in the series. So it's overdone as all hell but he's being a douche on top of it.
Actively refusing to fight when he knows there are lives that are in danger, he had to basically be forced into getting off his ass to do anything.
Maybe he wasnt playable from the start because Capcom knew how much of a douchenozzle they made him :p
Nick Grey They went overboard with his pacifist views in some games. He's not supposed to be all "EWWW VIOLENCE!", he's supposed to USE violence, knowing it's not the best approach to everything...but it's the only one available.
Unshaved Stuff X is that way because he always know that:
1: he is the reason that reploids exist and by the same way, mavericks
and 2 that he knows that eventually every reploid (even himself) will become a maverick if the virus is not destroy it... and that the guy that have the virus just looks imortal as fuck dont give X a lot of hope, this came from he was betrayed by double in X4 went he have to fight zero and eventually defeat sigma again and zero die in X5, and went he see anya being sad about her old friend gate goes maverick and that X have to defeat him... and sigma... again... thats why went he became the king of new arcadia he choose to "die" to seal the dark elf... he was to tired of fight an endless war
jeff blacklight I know all of that.
What I said still applies.
Nick Grey This, so much. Although, they're soooorta justified in that it was Weil who was responsible for the Elf Wars. Then again, it was just one guy. But also, I guess one guy was enough because it was that one guy who threw the entire world into hell
Other than the good soundtrack and nice looking character models, I can't say anything else good about X7. I'm surprised that Jared didn't point out how many load times are in the stage where you fight the mavericks again; if I remember correctly, there are about 18 load screens in that stage.
Mega SilverX I know it's PS and standards were way different back then, but "nice looking", really? They look like crap. Models are low-poly, they're too small so there's a lot of distortion especially when they're moving. It's especially jarring compared to previous Rockman X games on PS with sharp 2D sprites.
Mega SilverX Well, another good thing I could say is that personally, I actually like Axl. xD I always thought he and his morphing ability was cool~
I think X7 has a pretty meh soundtrack compared to the first 6, but hey, opinions.
***** Why was it? (I only played up to 3rd and Double Team on DS)
Mega SilverX I call it the Sonic 06 section of the game.
12:35 That's amazing ad placement.
“There’s a certain sense of desperation when you think you can use nostalgia to make people love your game.”
Nintendo: **sweats nervously**
this video is more of a classic than the game itself
R.I.P. Mega Man
Apparently Capcom doesn't care about you anymore.
Roy Number 1 Capcom may not, but Nintendo still does, they did him justice with Smash Bros.
As for actual Megaman games, he's dead and buried by Capcom's lack of interest in making good games.
***** well he is #1.
***** So are you.
You hear this Nintendo? He's open for auction!
Roy Number 1 Yes they do. Kinda. There are plans for a tv-show and the trailer of the megaman 1-6 "remakes" said that they used a brand new engine so they could work on something new otherwise they wouldn't create a new engine.
Anyone else think that Megaman X would make an awesome anime?
Muchly, friend. As long as they fix some glaring story issues the games have, I'd be down.
You should watch The Day of Σ.
Richard_0417 I've watched that. It was awesome. Makes me want a Mega Man X anime more than ever.
Burn to the ground
Gyarretto7 get the maverick hunter x actors and we’re golden
This was my first MegaMan X game... I still hear BURN TO THE GROUND in my head. 😭
