Mega Man 64/Legends sucked big time. But Mega Man Legends 2 was sooooo totally bad ass it. It was fun as hell. I actually want to play that now.

in megaman, he's a robot, in megamn nt/.exe he's a robot in a computer world.

in fighting games, he's robot. in racing, he's robot.

just like south park, he's robot!
Yeah, but I meant that he was human in the Mega Man 64/Legends games.

IMO, that kind of took away his aura.

It was still Mega Man. He was still a robot too. Not fully, but he was still a robot. All the cool upgrades you could get were awesome. The thing that sucked about Mega Man Legends were those crappy dungeon things. Little spaces that looked like crap. Legends 2 was so much better, all the different towns and wide open places. The boss battle with that huge robot in the town was awesome too!

I was just doing some thinking about the X series. There're a couple things I find annoying. One of the biggest is the fact that the music got so bad. The older Mega Man's and even some of the earlier X stuff had great music, but it just got so amazingly ******. That also goes for boss names. Metal Shark Player? WTF! Then there's Zero...what the hell do people like about this guy? Is it the fruity blonde ponytail or the fact that he's just such a generic "bad ass"? I don't get it.

I revere the X Series for having some of my favorite music from any video game anywhere (such as Armoured Armadillo's stage and Zero's theme from X4). But really I've found a lot of music in all the games I've played that I can really get into this is one seri4es that I feel has been very consistant with great music (tho the quality may have decreased very slightly over time). You want a series who's music has gone down the toilet, look at Street Fighter. Any of those games, even the VS ones. SFII has argueably some of the best old school game music of anything out there, but over the years it's faded from these outstanding, characteristic themes to unrecognizable cacophonies of electronic or dance music. None of the music from any of the new SF games stands out to me at all. The X games have always had SOMETHING good to offer tho.

Any Capcom game from 1985-1999 had god like music, and the Mega Max X series is near the top of the list, trumpted only by the regular Mega Man games and Street Fighter II-Alpha 3.

And Mega Man X2 was my favorite. Even the artwork was badass. The sprites were badass. The levels were badass. Hell, even the Nintendo Power Magazine cover was badass. Did i mention the game was badass? Fu*k yeah man. I want this disc now.

I hated his level. The levels in X2 were stupidly hard... X3 had easy levels, but mostly hard bosses. Hell, Toxic Seahorse stil nearly olmost always kills me, even with Frost Buffalos weapon ;_;.

and mecha... sorry bud, doesn't look like it =\. Damn shame.

So far I only have one problem with the collection. It's really hard to play! I almost died on the first level of X thanks to the button layout. It's almost impossible to jump while charging your shot and keep charging because of the akward angle you have to hold the buttons to do so. I haven't changed the button layout yet...but it's seriously annoying.

Don't tell me that bastards kept the jump button on B and the shot on A?

If so, fu*k that. I couldn't play the last collection for that one move. Oh hell, I'll buy it anyway.

A is jump, B is shoot. It doesn't work either way. I'm probably going to put shoot on Y or X, most likely X and change dash to the L trigger. Anyways, I was jumping through the games and noticed some other things too. In X2 the sound effects seem to be messed up, they cut in and out. It's pretty noticeable. Not THAT bad, but it's still pretty annoying. They also took out the voices from X6. Not that I care, because they were those stupid Japanese voices anyways, but they're still gone. Weren't we promised new voice overs for X6?

Edit: OK. I'm getting very frustrated with the controls of this game. It's like the Gamecube controller just can't do it. The layout just feels akward and uncomfortable. I've tried everything. X as shoot, Y as shoot, B as jump, A as jump. I've even tried R as jump. Using R as shoot would be nice...but it doesn't work. You can configure shoot to the R button, but it doesn't work in the game. I just want to play some f*cking Mega Man, but I'm getting totally frustrated. I'm starting to regret getting it for the Cube. I probably should have gotten it for PS2.

Edit 2: I've settled on using Y for shoot, A for jump and L for dash. It seems to work alright. It's still not as good as I want it to be, but it'll do. Chill Penguin is the only one I beat so far. He's always the first one I pick for some reason.

As long as jump can be mapped to A, then I can deal. Cool, I'll buy it now.

I remember not plqaying the first collection because you couldn't change the controls, and it was backwards.
