@BaxterAndLunala X8's soundtrack wasn't bad, by no means and the farthest from it. The composition was good, and some are excellent bangers (Jakob elevator, Vile battle theme, Maverick theme, rider armor, real SigmaI battle theme, and Luemine 2nd phase) I mostly blamed it on the 1 instrument style the composer team decided to settle on, making all song sounds similar to each other.

I am always baffled when people call X6 the worst in the series when X7 exists. Like you mentioned, at least X6 feels like a MMX game. Very very least, bc the controls are the same as X4 and X5, it feels good to move and shoot/slash. X7 has absolutely NOTHING going for it. Not the tight controls, and not even X himself for majority of the game.

In my opinion, both X6 and X7 are bad, but for very different reasons: X6 has probably the worst item collecting game out of the whole series, especially when you consider that some of the most important ones you need to progress can potentially be lost for good if you let the repliod that has it die. X6 is also probably the hardest game as well -- no other Mega Man X game felt quite as unfairly difficult, and some of the things that make it hard are rather cheap, too. X7, on the other hand, just felt low quality, with the whole plot of X being unplayable at the start because he was tired of fighting feeling forced to many fans (and was admitted an excuse to introduce a new character in Axel, too), and this is without going into detail about how the 3D sections weren't good, the voice acting was bad, and Flame Hyenard being known for being overly obnoxious and annoying, among other things

@@hattoripool1533 Capcom had elite 3d game devs at the time, but only employed unqualified staff to work on those 3d MM games. MMX7 was released after DMC1 and Onimusha, two of the best games from the very early 00s. Doing that to X7 was basically sentencing it to failure, because a conversion to 3d is a very serious business and needs a careful planning and the right staff... just like how it went with Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and other old games that converted nicely to 3d. Their companies took the project seriously, and we all know the result. But the problem is that Capcom already stopped respecting MM by that time. That's the tragedy of the franchise.

E.T. actually wasn't that bad by Atari 2600 standards. Sure, it may be borderline unplayable today, but for it's time, it was actually an okay to decent game. The reason it got the reputation of being the worst game ever made was because people didn't know how to play it, and so many copies were returned to the point that it was partly responsible for the video game crash. This caused many people to assume that the game really is that bad.

A streamer I follow plays this game pretty much every month, so I've picked up some things you've missed. - The boss weaknesses are broken in the NA release; they're better in JP - "Better" does not mean "good" with one or two exceptions. The best attack in the game is still Zero's tornado followed by X's charged bubble shooter (especially melts Sigma 2). - Maxing out defense to get the very long recovery window on Zero is very broken because you can just stand in enemies and slash for a long time - New Game+ is... less tedious - 18:40 X8 is a "better game" in the same way solitary confinement is better than daily waterboarding.

X8 isn't bad (I beat it 9 times, once with each character, including the Navigators, and once with Max Armors), but I feel as if the PS2 held it back. The recent 16Bit DeMake looks beautiful, and shows that PS2's graphics just make X games worse. An X7 DeMake would be awesome.

@ZenKrio It's the same engine as X7 with changed jump heights and stage design that seems better at first until you realise how much tedious crap is in them. The best that can be said about it is it has moments of mere blandness, but it's still much worse than X6, which at least _feels_ like an X game despite being X6. The demake is, indeed, the far better version of X8.

@WillowEpp that actually may explain why I dislike x8 a little compared to the classics. I'd play x7 over and over before x8, but that's because x8 got a lot of playtime early and I did everything in it. I genuinely like x7, but that's mainly due to the sheer humor I get from the hilariously "awesome" voice acting (I legit would fight to assure Flame Heynards voice stays the same in any remake) and I don't hate the gameplay for X, it's kind of silly that he can't just bend his arm to hit stuff and x7 did that. I do however recognize it isn't great, but I've played it more than big release games and like it more. I play x7 over say, final fantasy 15 or Concord, or most Assassins Creeds.

I have to admit that Mega Man X7 is bad, as there is just no way to defend the game honestly, but a lot of people literally give it no chances, they just do one playthrough of the game and then just say that they are completely done, but in my experience with the game, through at least two whole playthroughs, is when you max out the upgrades for all 3 characters, and after you do that the game becomes more playable, because the first playthrough is really the one that everyone has to suffer through, as they only give you access to AXL and Zero, and since they nerfed Zero super heavily in this game, a lot of people just don't want to play as him at all, but once you get all upgrades for him even though the guy doesn't have extra armor like X or damage reduction, he can really chew down on bosses health bars and stuff and even take hits which lets you play more recklessly with him, and with AXL a lot of people say that he's just a very inferior version of X and I have to say that they are wrong, because once you fully upgrade him and get his grenade launcher, he can arguably be even more OP than X just because of the damage he can dish out, while being the only character with an invulnerability, because everytime he does his roll on the ground the guy is invincible, so the key to mastering AXL is being able to time out your rolls correctly, and then as for X hes literally the best character all around, because not only does his upgrades give him damage reduction and super armor that completely removes knockback, but from the moment that you get X even with no upgrades, you will dominate pretty much anything in your way because they made his charged shot too OP, and with all his upgrades hes just the best all rounder of the team. I wish that someone actually made like a ROM patcher, very similarly to the one that X6 has that would allow for people to tweak X7 to whatever settings they would want, because X7 still has the potential to improve, its just that someone will need to take the time to polish the game, because Capcom's rushed job is just not good enough, but unfortunately nobody wants anything to do with X7, and even the dev from the Mega Man X8 Demake refuses to ever have anything to do with X7, which is just sad since nobody wants to fix up the original ROM, and the couple of times someone tried to do a Demake for X7 they just quit and abandoned the project, and its funny that a lot of fans have made fangames inspired by all the other games, since even the GameBoy Color games inspired the fan game: Mega Man X Innocent Impulse, but the only game that was even inspired by X7 was Protodroid Delta which wasn't even that good of a game, and like many other kickstarter games, it didn't even deliver half of the things that the developer promised to do, and the game even ended up following a different direction than what the original idea was going to be, which just makes me believe that X7 really is cursed.

One complete playthrough is more than enough to make a valid judgement. Having to go anything further sounds ridiculous, i'm sorry to say. Only very passionate fans of the franchise will even bother finish something like this in first place, and others don't deserve to be criticized for dropping it. That's too much "low quality" time of your life spent with an extremely poor product, just for the sake of your hardcore fan ego that might demand to complete all games of this franchise that you are nostalgic for. And you even admitted the game is bad and can't be defended... which is true. This game came after Capcom's DMC1 and Onimusha, that i already knew, so that level of low standards is unnacceptable. In my case i don't have a strong fixation to the franchise to the point of forcing myself through a very low quality game just because it's from one of my biggest childhood games (the first MM i owned, and one of my first owned games, was MMX).

As someone who did multiple playthroughs where I fully powered every character, X7 was the reason I lost a ton of love for Megaman back in my teens. Because no matter how you slice it, going through the game honestly sucks. Like I tolerate the ride chaser segments in other games, I outright hate the one in X7. X5 did that gameplay loop better and that's just a worse version of X4's ride chaser segment. Legit probably wouldn't have continued the series if the Megaman X8 demo within Command Mission didn't entice me.

Of all of the Mega Man games, I played through X7 and X8 the most. More than 10 play throughs each. Even Mega Man 1 and Mega Man 2 I haven't played through as many times. The reason: Mega Man X7 requires you to max out the stats of each character in order to return proper balancing to the game. Once you max out Zero, the game is essentially already won as you can spam his Raijinshou attack to beat bosses. For AXL, you need The EXPLODE grenade launcher. THE MUSIC in the game is great - especially for the time it released and many tracks hold up to this day. OBVIOUSLY the big problem is the camera which unfortunately you'll fight more than the enemies. Once you play through the game once, X is unlocked. Then you get the Glide armor for X and max his stats and he becomes a powerhouse. The game isn't "horrible" I initially had anxiety before playing it the first time, but again, it sucked me in and I mastered it. X6 is really the worst game in the series. After X4 and X5, X6 had no excuse to be bad at all.

I don’t agree with the partner mechanic being a bad idea considering for X7 because it was the first game that made you feel like a team and there will sometimes be situations where a different character will be a better choice under certain circumstances i think X7 soundtrack is actually some good stuff like tornado tonion splash warfly and basically all of it Plus the reason Axl transformed into red because sigma never really knew he was dead so turning into red and tricking him was actually a good but risky idea considering sigma would’ve taken all of his energy if he didn’t act fast enough as for what you say for the special weapons it feels like this review was kinda rushed in some parts

You know, the subject of which of the two worst X games is worse usually causes some confusion between the community. Honestly, both X6 and X7 are very bad, but one being bad doesn't automatically negate the other one from being any more tripe (TLDR past the X7 summary): -X6 was a rushed title using the basis of 2 game engines prior that had virtually no issues with them outside of X5's awful RNG sequences and being unable to skip Alia. The fact that X was not the best to play with no matter what armor set you used (Pretty much the reason why almost everyone uses Zero for that one, even if they prefer X), the level designs being frustrating because they existed to either kill you with mostly untested enemy and hazard placements, and having some of the worst actual settings for platforming made the game infuriating to play. There's also the conventions of that game's gimmick being the Nightmare system which exist only to screw the player over more for just playing the game and seeming like an example of a system that was released during Beta tests for how unfun and horribly balanced they were, which isn't helped out by the reworked Rescuable Reploids and Ranking systems that require grinding to make use of parts (Some of which are mostly required to beat the game...), and with bosses that are so pathetic they make Spark Mandrill Syndrome seem tame make it a romp you'll rage-quit because you're trying to rush through it. -X7 was a new system that tried to intertwine 2-D and 3-D together with the concept of using 3 characters (2 a stage) with ideas that had ONLY 2-D Mega Man design in mind, which was where the game was honestly just DOA conceptually. The newest character wasn't bad, but with the fact that you had to unlock the damned namesake of the franchise (Who could be busted, but more or less required that you not only backtrack to certain stages to get Armor parts for him and used him exclusively so that any Rescuable Reploids' items went to buffing him, was just not good design, plus the unlock requirement was pure ass) and the character everyone continued to fanboy over being made worse because they simply didn't make him work in 3-D well (Outside of spamming Raijinshou...) were just a kick in the balls for anyone wanting to try and find something to praise the gameplay over...if you could get past the (Original's) long load times, Alia's constant reminders for shit you've seen over and over, and the utterly mindless to atrocious level design no matter which gameplay style you stick to. What makes the primary issue with X7 even worse (That it's just boring and tedious versus X6's frustrating and unfairness) is in how the overseas versions balanced boss fights by making it so that you do LESS damage no matter what you're using (And that's even counting if you're using "weaknesses", because V. Tornado, S. Laser, Explosion, and S. Missile literally work on fucking EVERYTHING, even the bosses you get them from...) for bosses with long health bars isn't going to make anyone wanna do reruns of the game if they also don't rage-quit it for how tedious it is to play. TLDR; X6 is the worst in terms of taking an already good system and rushing it to make a quick buck by being a frustrating, poorly-balanced mess of a title where the game doesn't really "work" well most of the time, whereas X7 is a new system that is so bland and tedious that you'd be hard press to continue playing after a few stages, but both of them will more or less make you want to rage-quit playing them because they're just not good titles...Also, amazing vid, Wes. Looking forward to the next vid. 👍

The way i see it, X6 is at least decently playable even if it's much worse than the two previous games. It's just a not good sequel, like the last NES games that saturated the game at that point and clearly showed the mistake of making too frequent sequels. So X6 was just the "next gen" episode that exposed the same crisis once again. But X7 belongs to a different level of bad and low standards, because the disaster starts even from the visuals, unlike X6. It's a product that can't be respected at all because it came after DMC1 and Onimusha. Capcom gave it a low budget and employed an unqualified staff that wasn't prepared to convert the game to 3d. So X6 is rushed, rough and unnecessary... but X7 is in an even lower status in terms of rushed and unnecessary, because it's almost like the own company set the project up for an embarassing failure with the low budget, to make it unpleasing to look at and feel awkward to play right away, unlike X6.

From how I feel, at least I can wade through X6 quickly and be over and done with it in like a few hours (assuming I'm playing vanilla and without romhacks). For X7, the tedium lasts longer because of the slower pace of the game on top of largely being bog standard relative to earlier X games. Sure, it probably takes less than six hours, but it still FEELS like I took six hours. With that said, if you have access to the X6 Improvement Project, that tips the favor into X6 since you can ease some of the pain away somewhat.

Sorry but i have to disagree with all of you. Most people complain about the mega man games most because, they don't know the correct boss order. Plus X in x7 can be playable the only thing is to make him available on the game. Is not like he isn't playable. And what i enjoy in this game is the change from 3D to 2D game style. Because X all the down to x6 they don't provide that. On X8 i really wished would be like that but didn't happen. The only thing is about the bosses weakness like Sniper Anteater, the weapon from Hellride Inobuske doesn't For in overall damage him at all. So we need to use most the buster until his health is way below. Also Vanishing Kangaroo Wind Slicer also doesn't do no damage at all. So we have to keep firing non-stop, then for the last is Sigma first form. Wind Slicer also doesn't do no damage as well. When i start once i found out that i couldn't play X i manage to discovery how to make him playable. Because in some bosses is better using him with either Zero or Axl.

I made myself play Fire Emblem 4 once. I could not get past the prologue when I was playing without cheats. When I played with cheats, I made it to chapter 10 before I gave up. It wasn't even that hard, I just did not enjoy it even remotely... then again, I have a lot of very unpopular takes when it comes to media.
