As boring as X7 is, I really love its soundtrack, particularly Gungaroo's theme, Sigma's theme, and Code Crush. Also, apparently Red was a former member of Repliforce, which to my knowledge isn't mentioned in the game. The story and voice direction could've been handled a lot better in X7. These voice actors have been way better in games like Bomberman and Tekken.

[@fissilewhistle]

D Prototype It’s funny to think that Alucard, Tekken 5’s announcer, and Signas are all voiced by the same guy.

[@jesusa.adorno6933]

Where was that mentioned?

[@kylecampbell565]

[@tracyndiyob162]

thats weird that red being part of repliforce(possibly giving a hint to axel's creator) was not shown in game since outside of him not wanting sigma to hurt axel and his men when he controls them(which is the one thing alongside the ingame showing of x's potential being the one thing i liked about the story.) red just felt like a random thug(which i get is the point since the world is still recovering from the eurasia and nightmare disasters so crime gangs would take advantage of it with axel's abilities helping get an edge.) with it being confusing to me if the mavericks we fought are part of red alert or random criminals.

I like this review because it mirrors exactly how I feel about X7. It may be the worst of the X games right along side X6, but it still has it's highlights. It's slow, the voice acting is shit, and the camera angles are awful, but ultimately I say it's still worth a playthrough and if you're a die hard fan of everything Mega Man Like myself, it's fun to come back to once in a blue moon, but I also still understand why people hate it. Honestly, if it were simply sped up x2 it would be a decent title.

"They release some Mavericks under Red Alert captivity" As far as I can recall, they're actually OTHER members of Red Alert, with the possible exception of Flame Hyenard. They are, however, most definitely infected with the Sigma Virus, but the extent to which varies, as some of them seem completely normal (Soldier Stonekong, Vanishing Gungaroo), while others are far, far gone (Assuming he's a member of Red Alert, Flame Hyenard is the perfect example of this).

[@MegaManXPoweredUp]

I think the real reason you couldn't immediately use Armor Parts you get in X5 and X6 is because if they did let you, you'd probably lose the armor parts you were wearing when you get a part for a different armor. For example; you got the Blade Armor Boots, and you play a level that has the Shadow Armor Helmet, so when you get it, the armor overwrites what you have equipped, so now you don't have your Blade Armor Boots until you go back to the Stage Select screen. It'd be better if you could equip parts from both armors simultaneously, but their designs wouldn't go well together. It'd look like a mess. Thankfully in X8, you can equip parts from both armor sets, since the Neutral Armor has a modular design that blends the armors together without clashing too much, at the cost of making Neutral, Icarus, Hermes, and Ultimate look the same with only a difference in colors,

[@michaelbuehler3897]

My Mega Man X7 Review (In Actual Quotes I Said During Play, MAJOR TL;DR warning below) “Okay, why do I have to hold down the Jump button for Axl’s hover instead of pressing it again in midair? So awkward..” “Did I seriously Game Over in the INTRO STAGE? Embarrassing...” “Thank God, they cut down the load times in the Legacy Collection!” “Geez, 3D does NOT work for a Mega Man X game.” “Why does Zero sound like a grumpy old man in this game?” “It’s cool that I can reflect fire with Zero’s Z-Saber, but damn, it sucks at hitting shit in 3D.” “Why is X such a whiny lil’ bitch in this game?” (Battleship) “Okay, this is decent.” (Lava Factory) “Fuck, three Reploids died! No-four now! That’s it, playing Breath of the Wild now.” (3D Segment) “Am I seriously getting lost in a Mega Man X game?!” Later... “SHUT THE FUCK UP, HYENARD!” (Central Circuit) “Why are the Ride Chaser controls grimy ass-cheeks in this game?!” (X rejoins) “Well, look who finally decided to pull up his big-boy pants and get his damned head back in the game!” (Cyber Field, gravity inversion segments) “Fuck this.” [Turns Switch upside-down, controls are still messed up] (Snipe Anteator) Anteator: “You can’t build a utopia on the graves of rebels such as myself.” Me: “He’s got a point, you know.” X: “But...Even so...I... I must follow my beliefs!” Me: “...That’s your comeback, X?” “Wow. The X-Buster is doing more damage to this guy than his actual weakness.” (Air Forces) “Alright, this is actually a stage I can get behind. This is cool!" (Tunnel Base) “These Ride Armors are awesome! It reminds me of Eggman’s levels in SA2.” “Okay, this is my favorite level in the whole game. I can actually come back to this!” (Crimson Palace) “Jesus, Red’s fight drags on!” “They don’t even heal you afterwards? What the hell?” “Alright Sigma, time for your _seventh_ ass-whooping.” (Remembers a trick Clement used) “Pfft-hahaha, wow, Sigma’s PATHETIC in this game. I’m seriously stun-locking this dude!” (Final boss) “Holy shit, X’s charged Splash Laser rapes Sigma in half!” (Ending) “That has got to be Sigma’s most humiliating defeat yet. Falling out a window?” X: “He [Axl] must not be rewarded for using such methods!” Me: “Dude. Did you seriously forget that you’re a Maverick HUNTER? Killing bad guys is literally your job.” “I CAN TURN ON AUTOFIRE IN THE OPTIONS?! THAT WOULD’VE BEEN NICE TO KNOW _BEFOREHAND!_” (Afterwards) “Well, that was a thing. Definitely had several bullshit moments and was overall boring, but nowhere near as bad as the fandom says it is. I’d sooner go back to this game than X3 and X6, and I don’t care HOW they respond to that.”

[@ThatTravGuy]

X7 has always been an enigma to me. I do kinda have that "A Bad Game is worse than a Broken Game" mentality which is why I'd always say that X6 is worse than X7. But revisiting it this past week to get footage of it... phew, I think I'm starting to go back on that mind-set, and your video perfectly explains why. Everything feels slow and clunky, and when a game leaves me uncomfortable and boring before even beating the intro stage, I know that's not a good sign. Really not looking forwards to finishing this game.

[@jacobmonks3722]

If a bad game is worse than a broken game, then shouldn't that mean X6 is better? X6's design is fundamentally broken, the level design expects you to do things that are impossible for you to do at certain points, and as Johnny showed the game has serious glitches. X7 is technically sound for the most part, but an absolute chore. As a result, I also enjoy X6 more. To put it one way, X6 has more personality. It's like Sonic 06 vs Sonic Boom. Sure, 06 is a buggy, unfinished mess, but it has so much potential that can be seen underneath it, and if the game had the proper amount of time to cook then it would be fairly average, if not decent. But Sonic Boom from a game design perspective is tedious, repetitive, slow moving, and uninteresting, no amount of polish could make that game fun.

[@Mojo1356]

Nerdy George Washington I don’t find Rise of Lyric’s voice acting horrible (if anything, its amazing. Also, my compliments for being the start of Amy’s voice actress not sucking completely). The problem is that I can’t appreciate the great voice acting when the characters cannot stop saying the same stupid one-liners every 5 seconds. And while the presentation as a whole sucks in Rise of Lyric, especially in Co-op mode, at least the pre-rendered cutscenes have great animations, something I can’t say for X7. That’s not to derail your argument about 06 being the better title because I agree with you. I’m just saying that I don’t think you are giving RoL credit where it’s due (for whatever the credit is worth)

I'm currently doing my own playthrough of X7 on the Legacy Collection. And while the game is indeed frustrating at times, I'm finding it enjoyable.

0:55 1:00 Beautiful, especially given how you narrate over them like they're any standard footage.

[@metalmario991]

Ugh. Mega Man X7 was easily the worst X game for me. It and X3 were the only X games I straight up did not like when I did my X marathon earlier this year. The game is pretty dull and it was full of frustration, particularly when I went for 100% completion. Whoever decided that reploids needed to die in 1 hit is evil. It wasn't too hard except for Flame Hynard and the one stage where it's like a spiral stair or something. (NOTE: Thanks for that Bomb tip, Johnny). This is easily the X game that's the most annoying to 100%, and I don't really recommend it. I liked Axl well enough, especially when I turned on the rapid fire. Axl and X were my main team for a majority of my playtime. But, they all felt like pale imitations of what came previously. The game just isn't fun, I can't stress that enough. I hate all the bosses, with their reptitive voice clips and tedious patterns. I hate this game. It isn't quite the same hate as X3, that I hated more for the frustration factor. X7 was more hated for being boring and visually dull, though frustration is a prime factor. I can understand why people don't like X6, but I'm surprised people will say it's worse then X7. I can see it somewhat, but I disagree. I don't have much else to say about X7 other then repeatedly saying it's terrible, Johnny covered most of my problems with it. X7 was the lowpoint for my X marathon, thankfully X8 ended things on a positive note for me. Don't bother with this, unless you want to experience the entire series like I did.

I’d still take X3 or X6 over X7 any day. 3D just doesn’t work for some games but at least they tried.

[@KL42596]

metalmario991 what’s wrong with X3?

[@Comickid15]

So, we have similar opinions then. I hated X7 and X3 as well and think X6 gets too much hate. (although, I would never say X6 is good, I enjoyed it)

[@OniLinkBrazil1993]

I'll never understand this X3 hate. To even fathom that it is bad on the same level of X6 or X7 is outrageous.

[@metalmario991]

Oh, I'm not saying X3 was as terrible as X7. I'm not that crazy. I was just saying it and X7 were the only X games I didn't like when I played through them.

8:21 "HENLY" "BERINDA" "HOLY" A+ translation job.

[@luismendoza9622]

I know why X doesnt want to fight.......he doesnt want to suffer fighting Flame Hyenard

[@shawnfields2757]

That's enough to make me not want to fight.

[@Jackelbeaver]

One small thing you can do to speed up bosses is set the region from US to UK which for some reason gives you a 20% boost in overall damage. For some reason the US release reduces all your attacks and weapons damage by 1 which adds up on bosses, but the JP and UK version have the original damage values intact, which is great because of the Region Select feature on Legacy Collection.

[@Despatche]

And here we go, a third time. This is really interesting, I wonder what would have happened if this change was never made. A simple damage reduction/increase doesn't really do much to game design (cough Zelda Hero mode cough), but it sure would get people to shut up.

[@timafterdark3759]

So X is basically Luke from Last Jedi. Sorry, one last bad joke

[@pokejoseph]

That makes way too much sense

[@oscarmccormack1611]

Except, in Last Jedi, it wasn't bullshit.

1:01 I'M STILL LOOKING FOR THIS DARN COMMERCIAL

[@EA-bv8zk]

*BURN* *TO* *THE* *GROUND*

[@PSIHedgehogChris]

My recommendation for X7: Play it with Rookie Hunter Mode on, it makes things a little faster, particularly Wind Crowrang's stage, and I believe bosses go down faster with it on. Really, with Rookie Hunter Mode on, not once did I ever notice it being slow, or particularly mind it being slow.

[@Despatche]

Rookie Hunter is helpful for X7 because it doesn't have an Easy difficulty like X8 does.

[@hypemugen]

Finally someone giving a well structured opinion without just going into the trend and calling x7 pure trash right away because everyone thinks so.

[@NerdyTransformed]

If MMX6 is the Sonic 06 of this franchise, MMX7 is definitely the Sonic Boom.

[@khistraley1150]

X in this game kinda sounds 3like Rodney Copperbottom. Fitting, I suppose.

[@smugsneasel]

12:17 You know Johnny, the way that this entire sentence was phrased could possibly make it sound like you want people who aren't aware of Flame Hyenard to burn to the ground.

[@rkplay]

I love Megaman x7

[@IAmMugel]

X8 has actually become my favorite Mega Man X game so I'm really looking forward to this next one! I hope you'll enjoy it too Johnny, but if not, I'm curious to see how you'll tear it down :D

[@HunterCarrell]

8:16 it's because of the hover ability

[@BeowulfTheBountyHunter]

God. You do not believe how long I've waited for that nice outro theme to come back.

[@djimonmcdonald9085]

4:47 sounds a bit like ctr uka uka to me atleast

[@Futuredynamo]

After seeing that shirt you are wearing in one of your previous videos, I had to order it. I've since received it, and it is awesome!

[@AtomizerBaT]

Hooo boy this should be fun.

[@nathanrivera1463]

12:07 This game is just a mile a minute!

[@rockinjoker07]

The darkest beast has been tackled

[@Sonickeyblade00]

Technically, TECHNICALLY I STRESS... Nothing's broken. Except Him. Flame Hyenard: BURN!

[@toddthesweatynerdguy1450]

I wish a dictionary would say "Holy fuck, Mega Man X7 is meandering" but that could be because I like the idea of the word fuck actually being in a dictionary, because I'm mature.

[@donovanagee]

I can see that but this game is so bad like actually bad one of the worst games ever

[@WiiDude83]

(End Clip) You spin me right round axel right round! like a record axel, right round round round round!
