Personally, I like Mega Man because it's difficult but fair, but Mega Man X6 is just punishing. I can never see those Nightmares coming, so I always have to reload the save until I memorize every one of their positions, which is a ton of work. And some of those items seem necessary to complete the game, or at least it would be next to impossible to beat the game without it. It's just all way too much for me, and I see no reason to put up with it. Like Waveboy said, the game feels rushed, and lacks the polish and interestiing locals and enemies that make the rest of the series worth playing.

And Yeah, I am complaining that Mega Man X6 is harder than X5. Because why do I have to put up with a game that requires you to have split-second reflexes and a inhumanly good memory in order to obtain a power-up when I can go to X5 - or any other game in the series for that matter - where I don't
have to worry about some sparsely seen assailant taking away my precious items? Heck, Mega Man X5 (an by default the rest of the series) is the better game overall, too, so why should I have to put up with Mega Man X6 at all?!

@MegaStoner

Mega Man 7 had some of my favorite tunes. Thanks for that.

@Waveboy

Er, thanks for being helpful, but I think you need to lay off MegaStonerMeister a bit.

I actually kind of like X6. It is difficult, but it gets easier as you make progress through the game (and after you've played it a few times). The Mavericks are are a good bunch, and the 2 new Armors are pretty interesting and fun to use. My one major gripe with it is the Nightmare Enemies. They turn rescuable reploids Maverick so you can't get the Power-up that the reploid may have had. It gets frustrating when you see some reploids and then the Nightmares swoop in so you have to act quickly to save them (it gets real bad in Infinity Mijinion's stage). But no matter what negative things you have to say about X6, the soundtrack is excellent.

MegaMeister, you just proved that you are the biggest Mega Man fan that ever existed. What you just explained there in your effort to defend it is exactly what makes it a terrible game. It's beyond hard that requires multiple playthroughs before it becomes managable. And part of that difficulty stems from the glitches and unfair challenges, and the occasionally terrible level design. The Nightmares were the worst because if that civilian died they never came back, and since you don't know what they're carrying, you may lose out on an item that you need to finish the game. This is just not good gameplay, IMO. The whole thing feels rushed and poorly thought out, which it was since there was never supposed to be a Mega Man X6.

I tried really, really, reeeealy hard to like Mega Man X6, but I couldn't. There was nothing to like. It just wasn't a good game, and from my experience. I didn't even like the sound track, which lacked as much soul as the rest of the game. You're free to like it, and you're free to defend it - The power-ups were cool (but were in MMX5 and X8, and were easier to obtain), the Bosses were interesting, and the new armors were neat, even though they weren't much of an improvement over the armors in X5 - But I'll tell you this, you're fighting a hard battle my friend. Good luck.

I can agree with that. X6 was a pile of rubbish. The X series got worse as they went on if you ask me.
X6 was clearly rushed, poorly thought out and beyond frusturating. X5 and X6 especially were the only MMX Titles I didn't enjoy, mind you I haven't played X7 and X8 and I never will That aside, with X6 I couldn't believe how uncreative and horrible the final boss was....I mean honestly, it was pretty damn generic.

As far as the X series goes, X1 is classic, X2 while not as good, is still the best sequal in MMX series, I wasn't crazy over X3, and X4 actually turned out to be pretty decent. I know I'm not getting technical and into detail about the X series, but that's because I haven't played them in so long. While MegaStoneSmash91 probably plays them to death everyday and dreams about the boss patterns in his sleep

But really, X6 is easily thee' worst none 3D MMX game....Talk about irritating, unfair, poorly designed, with an unmemorable stinker of a soundtrack and craptastic art direction. And didn't X5 have a time limit for each stage? That was insanely annoying! Really though my minds VERY clouded regarding the X series....I remember that one particular Boss MAX in X6 who was incredibly difficult to the point where I wanted destroy my TV. I can't recall how many times I got my whooped by his cheap ! When all said and done I'm not exactly a big fan of the X series.....1 and maybe 2 are good enough for me as the rest just aren't up to par and the X series for me gets tiring fast. But if we're talking Classic Mega Man, oh god yes

@Tasuki - Great call on Top Man's song. Top Man himself is the worst boss of all imo but his song and level were pretty cool. I like the rotating top hop at the end. I think what makes Quick Man's theme so underrated is that it isn't a conventional song. What I mean by that is that you can rock out to Metal Man and Wood Man because they are pretty straight forward songs, but the percussion in Quick Man's music is a bit funky at the beginning. It's very complicated but it's cool.

The X series is weird. I think what makes it hard to judge is that they take place across three generations of consoles whereas the original series is strictly NES (I know 9 and 10 aren't actually NES, but the graphics are the same.)

Here's a question for you people. I played MM6 the other day, and I can't help but get annoyed with the weapon you get from Wind Man. He attacks you with a cool propeller weapon, and you get equipped with a useless wimpy mini tornado that never appears in the level at any point. Do you get bugged when you beat a Top Man or a Wind Man who attacks you with something cool, and the weapon you get is something...uncool? Sorry for all the opinion in this post.

Is the 91 in your name an indication of your age or does it just relate to the Year Mega Man 4 came out?

My god, why is Punk in MMBN3 so ridiculously hard? I know coming back to a game after....four years or so is bad, but Punk is such a bloody cheater!

I also suck at BN games, so that's probably why.

Effen A, I stayed up a little late last night but Punk in BN3 was DEFEATED by me! Of course I didn't play awesomely enough to get his chip, but it was one of those battles that I absolutely refused to give up on! I just needed a break to collect my thoughts, that's all.

It's the year I was born in: 1991. Also, I'm pretty sure Mega Man 4 came out in early 1992 (in N.A. anyway), but Rock Man 4 came out in 1991, so I guess you could say that too. And as for the rest of my name:

-"Mega" is from my love of the Mega Man series
-"Stone" is a reference to my last name (just add an extra letter on there, and you got it. In fact, you've already said it a couple times in your posts)
-"Smash" refers to my love of the Super Smash Bros. series

And how many different ways are you going to type my name?

I usually start with Top Man too. That's why when I play MM3, Top Man's music is what I associate the game with. For me, there's always one defining song on each game, and Top Man's is that for me. Too bad you get Top Spin instead of his homing tops (yes I'm plugging a previous question I asked.) Going back to the fourth game, I don't understand why the music gets so much flack. There isn't a bad track in that game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh3bjT0i2sk I can't think of any other songs that have a jazz beat in the verses!
