Mega Man X4 | The Completionist

[@shane3674]

MMX4 will always hold a special place in my heart. Not only am I a huge MMX fan, but X4 was the first game I ever played on the PlayStation. I rented the game and the console from Blockbuster back when that was still a thing. When I fired it up and that title screen started, it blew my mind. I’ll never forget that moment.

Speaking of details, I love how the game subtly tells you who are the actual Mavericks and who are just indignant Repliforce soldiers by their health bars

[@danielthomas7193]

Yep, I believe Mushroom, Peacock, and Dragoon are the only ones with the Sigma logo on their health bars. The rest have the Repliforce logo.

[@jruler93]

Yeah. Split Mushroom is a wild Maverick with no allegiance, so he attacks anyone who enters his tower, Magma Dragoon wanted to test his mettle against X and Zero, so he destroyed the Sky Lagoon (killing thousands of people in the process) to get branded as a Maverick, and Cyber Peacock works directly for Sigma, and everyone else is Repliforce.

[@darkizuru4215]

Megaman X4 was the first game I played when I first met my 2nd Dog when my Dad brought her into our house. She always stop and watch me play it no matter what. She would ignore every other game I played except for X4 and will always watch me until I stopped playing. In 2014, not only she was getting old, she also had cancer. I played X4 one last time before her death. After that moment, the backward compatible PS3 I had bricked unexpectedly and I couldn’t play my original PSX disc anymore so I left the game behind for a while. It wasn’t until years later when I stumbled onto Jirard’s original X4 review when I realized that this game that my Dog loved watching me play, was loved by him, but by so many people in the comments. Seeing this re-review and these comments makes me so happy and proud to call Megaman X4 my favourite game of all time and hopefully it makes my dog, Yasi, proud as well.

[@maccamachine]

great story it made me happy because x4 was the game i was playing through when we found out my dog had cancer also rest in peace to Yasi and Daisy and good luck in life friend

Finally getting to play as Zero with his Z Saber was AMAZING. I'm more of a sword guy than a gun guy so being able to run through Mega Man levels with a sword was a dream come true!

[@bandband4498]

You must have freaked out when you learned about Mega Man Zero

[@TheJadeFist]

You should pick the ZX collection then if you haven't already. The four GBA games were all pretty great, the first one being the weakest entry but 2 and 3 being some downright amazing games and the game ranking you as you play changing the difficulty depending on well you're doing but also rewarding you with new abilities make them very replayable.

[@markxv2267]

X4 is the weakest entry though

[@CrashikkuTornado]

@@markxv2267 I respectfully disagree. With games like X6 and X7, there’s a lot to appreciate with X4. The level design, the music, the fact that you can play as both protagonists for the first time, and the replay value for the extra costumes. At the end of it all, the acting is all I see wrong with the game. And in that case, just play the original Japanese dub because it sounds way better. Edit: This is an unpopular opinion but I feel like X3 was even bad because it felt rushed. The boss levels were VERY short, the music was subpar at best (aside from the Doppler stages), and it was really hard even with the boss weaknesses. Just felt way off compared to the previous 2 entries

[@andyblargextra]

I remember playing Mega Man X4 on Gamecube with the X collection. Most of my family played X4 because we loved the art style and how cool/fun it was.

[@jadeindigo73]

X4 was so amazing. It’s the first game that I was able to introduce gaming to my nephew to. We played together every time he came over and he loved trying to solo the bosses. This game is still so special to the two of us. And we both bought the x collections the second they came out. It was so great to play it again. Especially to see how far we’d come as gamers. Awesome to see a Completionist video for this again.

[@Hypershell]

So, as a huge fan of Zero, Iris, and X4 in general, I gotta nitpick one point, at 10:28 Zero didn't kill Iris. Most players attack Iris repeatedly to force her to eject the crystal that transformed her, which is the actual weak point of the fight. However, if during the battle against her, Zero is in critically low health, Iris ejects the crystal on her own and this allows Zero to win the fight without ever attacking her. Despite this, she will die anyway. Why? Well, a bit of backstory not presented in X4 itself, but referenced in many spinoffs and guide books since, that crystal is Colonel's memory chip. Iris and Colonel were supposed to be one Reploid but their personalities were too contradictory to function properly. Japanese books at the time (translated by Servbot20) describe Iris as "out of control" and suffering from "rejection symptoms" from the chip. Fun fact, in the mobile gacha game "Mega Man X DiVE," the character "Iris -another-" appears to represent what would have happened if Iris had been able to install Colonel's chip properly. She should be released in the overseas version in a couple of months, but be warned, the gacha odds are not pleasant. We also saw a postmortem encounter with Iris in the 3DS crossover game, "Project X Zone," in which Zero answers the X4 meme question, and Iris gets the chance to offer a more proper goodbye. It was real heartfelt stuff. Love the artwork for this video. The thumbnail is hilarious, and the "bro beards" for both X and Zero at the end were just perfect.

[@svartfrasr9755]

I say this as a shameless fanboy who knows this game's ups and downs intimately... Please be gentle. 😂 Also nice theme to open with. Edit: Several things. Thank you for not just drowning the game in its mems like god and everyone else and actually talking about what it did for the gameplay of the series and Zero's recognition across gaming in general. Thank you for also actually addressing that Repliforce was infiltrated with bad actors under Sigma's influence. I don't know how but time has changed how people talk about this game. I see a lot of referring to Repliforce as "Robot Nazis" and that's it. Basically you talk about this game like someone who actually has played it extensively and doesn't just know it for its infamy and that's greatly appreciated.

[@geminialchemist2441]

It’s funny that Jirard’s Megaman experience is basically the same as mine. I played the first, didn’t get to play 2 or 3, then played 4. I also consider 1 and 4 to be basically the peaks of the franchise, the best of the best. One thing I like about the story is that for the first time we see “Maverick” be used to describe a Reploid not affected by the virus. They choose of their own free will to not be pawns, to want their own nation with their own rules, and get branded with a label used to describe what are essentially mentally ill terrorists. It adds a bit more complexity to the situation, because what the Repliforce is doing is not good(or at least, the way they’re going about it. Sure, Sky Lagoon was a frame job, but they didn’t exactly do anything to dissuade that idea and instead prepared for war), but at the same time X and Zero are basically fighting against a group of people who just want their own independence.

[@Zegaexiron]

I played X4 before I played X, so I'm a bit more nostalgic for it. I remember taking the ride armor to fight magma dragoon and thinking I was slick for cheating the fight. Also, wow that thumbnail.

[@Dragonic25]

Probably the same as the other comments, this will always be my favorite of the series, and the one I have played the most. I originally played it on PC back in the day, so I had instant access to all the cutscene movies without even playing the game. This game gave me hope that there could've been an anime using the movie animation, but sadly it never happened.

[@hackymchackerman]

Mega Man X is a VERY important game series for me (specifically X) and MMX4 was HUGE to me. so the moment i saw this video posted i clicked so hard i killed my trackball mouse megaman x and sonic the hedgehog were the games that built the foundation of my IMMENSE special interest in video games. but one of the main categories for my special interest is game OSTs. i have been listening to them since, well...i played mega man x6. i missed out on a lot of the scene at the time, and say what you will about mega man x6, I still love it and THAT SOUNDTRACK SLAPS i left the mega man x games on in the background while i did other stuff. game OSTs are insanely important to me and a PASSION of mine. mega man x games are a core part of my childhood and i love that jirard holds the same sentiment and that he can provide those serotonin boosts through his videos

Man, the memories I have of this game. I remember first seeing this title in Hollywood Video and going "They made a _fourth_ one!?" I remembered liking the first three X games and rented X4 that day. When I played the game, I LOVED IT. Zero was playable, his saber combat was awesome, he had a girlfriend (I absolutely adored Iris), there were animated cutscenes...I don't know if any Mega Man game ever left an impact on me as much as X4 did. After playing X4, I used to daydream about the series all the time at school.

Yep, Mega Man X4 is great, love that game, might be my favorite in the series. Loved playing as Zero, loved the cutscenes, all of them. I think everyone who makes fun of them is crazy, Zero's line delivery when Iris dies is perfection, no notes, you're just a bad person. But seriously, it's a pretty nostalgic fave for me. When I got a PlayStation for the first time, the first game I bought for it was Mega Man X4. It kicked my ass for so long, that final Sigma gauntlet of a fight is insane, but my friend and I were able to beat it together and it was amazing.

X4 is still to this day the only Megaman X game that I know front and back, despite never beating Sigma in any of my runs lol. It is always the form after normal reaper Sigma that trips me up as either X or Zero and while I do wish that X's story didn't feel like nothing in comparison to Zero's or that Zero's relationship with Iris should have been fleshed out more so I could care more or that Sigma haven't been the main villain again, it is still one of my favorites in the series next to X1 and X8.

I just love X4 to death. The beautiful spritework, environments, level design, platforming, bosses, and armors are so masterfully done. Zero is a perfect compliment to X's playstyle and a fresh and fun way to play Mega Man, one of the best additions by far to a Mega Man game. And while I know people often criticize the music, I really like it. Each piece matches each stage and scenario and there's just an overall feeling that is so different from any game in the franchise (X4 credits theme is my favorite Mega Man credits theme). The anime cutscenes feel special being only in this one entry, and while the English voice acting is bad, A. it's laughably bad so I can't hate it that much, B. the Legacy Collection has the Japanese version and the Japanese voice acting which sounds great.

Fun story. Around 1996, when I was still living in the US, I came back here to Taiwan for a vacation. I picked this game up for the PC in Taiwan. Fun fact, the dark X and dark Zero codes are different on the PC version than on the PSX version. Second fun fact, that game came with trading cards. One for web spider and I forget on the second one. I carried those cards with me for years because of how cool they were. Suggestion: try the japanese version of the game. IMO it that extra *umph* that makes it worthwhile. 1) The bosses have phrases they say before the fight. Not like text dialogue, but actual voices. 2) The intro has a different soundtrack. 3) The cut scenes are much better acted. I really need to get off my a*s and mode this game...

What a surprise, I just re-played the X story line in X4 yesterday. I did it Buster only and randomized the boss stages (closed my eyes and shuffled the L-Stick around), and yes, it's still a lot of fun. The only thing I would note is that it is one of, if not the easiest game in the Megaman X series. I know the half-way transition point was because of limitations back during the PS1 era, but having a life refill after the half way point does reduce the threat of the mid-bosses somewhat (I'm thinking of you, water-goop machine in Spark Mandrill stage). Still, I'd say because of it's difficulty factor (or lack thereof) makes this a good game to just get back and jump in to. And the music was definitely banger: I sometimes have the soundtrack playing in the background while I'm playing some other game.

[@evenzeroescanbeheroes6875]

That's not actually X4's story. HUMANS created Repliforce to defend against Mavericks and other such disasters and things. When the Sky Garden was attacked and crashed into a major city, killing thousands, they were blamed from mere proximity. So they decided to secede and try to just *go somewhere else*, but the humans ordered the Maverick Hunters to hunt them down because they were deemed Mavericks. Colonel and General weren't actually Maverick, they were just DEEMED Maverick in order for the Hunters to be sent after them, and because they weren't listening to the humans who wanted them dead because the thing they were guarding got attacked.

This review was a long time coming and something I looked forward to ever since the birth of the NG+ sereis, as I love X4 a lot.

[@1122markj]

As a fellow lover of Megaman X4. You have got to play Rockman X4 if you haven't! It won't require any reading and there are better and more voices and no stupid sounding grunts and yelps every time you attack! I can never go back! It's far more enjoyable

[@MinusBros]

@@1122markj I actually did play that one lol

[@MrFIRESEAL117]

MMX4 was my first game for the ps1. The game inspired me to draw my own Maverick hunters/bosses, (something I was doing since the original mega man games). What an absolute blast playing this game for the first time back in 1998.

The only reason i have any nostalgia with this amazing Mega Man X game is bc i lived with my Aunt and Uncle who had a playstation. I've never owned a playstation even till this day. Idk i guess I'm a loyal Nintendo guy. I remember going to block buster and seeing X4 and asking my Aunt to rent it. I loved it and rented several times. It was the second X game i could actually beat as a 8 year old young gamer with X 2 being the other. I owned X 2 so i could practice a lot with that X game. I always got to Sigma when i rented X 1 and X 3 but could never beat him in neither. It's odd thinking i found X 1 and X 3 so hard bc now i can beat the first 4 X titles no issues at all now but X 4 was so badass to me and still is simply bc u can play it 4 different ways and Zero is fir more than just a Z saber like X 3. Great review Jirard.

Megaman X4 was one of my favorite games of all time and surely one of the best Megaman games. I really loved playing as Zero who's story was unique and shed some light over his past. Zero's techniques gave him complete mastery over his Z-sabre and made him a formidable warrior. Indeed getting up close and personal with the enemies was a fresh and unique approach to playing a Megaman game. I got my copy for the PC and the port ran flawlessly. All Megaman fans should play this game.

Aww man, this game brings me so many happy memories from my teenage years. We had it good guys, we had it good.

The two soundtracks I think of when I think of MMX series is MMX and MMX4. Such a kickass soundtrack.

[@Josuh]

X4 feels like a totally different game compared to the rest of the series in the best way possible

Christmas 1998, finally got a ps1, had 20 bucks extra from xmas money, went to the malls gamestop/ebgames/insert whatever it was, and there it is a used copy of MMX4. $24, ouch, My grandmother took me to the mall that day, and she happily handed me a 10 before i even asked. Cool thing my grandma was an old school NES gamer and played with me as a kid, young teen me she still got me :). Greatest gift she ever helped me get.

I've always found X4's sound track to be... lacking. That's not to say it isn't good, because it really is. The problem is that it isn't... Sticky, for lack of a better word. It doesn't stay with me. Chill Penguin, Storm Eagle, Magna Centipede, Gravity Beatle; basically any song from the previous games are just a mention away from playing in my head. But X4, I always have to think back and try to recall the songs. They don't stick with me.

[@Needwagon4Speedwagon]

Still don't get the few people that think the ost in x4 is good. Every track sounds like the same 4 synth notes played over and over again while the previous games had straight up bangers. As of now I like some x4 tracks but only in covers or arrangements that make them sound good and because they grew on me, not because I liked them from the start. It's really not up to X's Ost standards

[@Cetega]

Mega Man X4 was my second PS1 game back in 1998, and it's easily my most replayed game ever. I still regularly run through it as Zero. Easily my favorite game in the series.

[@New2RetroReviews]

Colonel never went maverick though. He wanted to fight for Reploids future and to not be judged. It was all Sigma and his mavericks that caused the friction. Legit when you fight Colonel and General, they don't have the Maverick logo's on their life bar. That was honestly one of the best things about this game, you fought mavericks, but you also had to fight your friends and other non mavericks who were fighting for freedom. This game really did a lot with its story telling

[@jakewondo]

Thank you for giving me an episode of The Completionist worth fighting for

[@IXArcanine]

MegaMan X4 is one of my most played games of all time. I got it on my PS1 when it first came to it. Then every release on other consoles, I bought this game at least five times. It's a big part of my life from my teenage years to my thirties I've loved this game for ever. So happy to see you covering it.
