Yeah I keep confusing them like I confuse you and Chaos Vortex... Heh.
... HOW could you possibly confuse us. And no, there is no secret stash of Mega Man H here. Blame Abominator for that. Family Friendly and all that. I spent years and thousands of dollars lobbying for a secret H section, which would make Matrix TRUELY complete. Alas Abominator was too absorbed with Buffy, the Beetles and Haggus to hear my well thought out and highly detailed business plans. Such a shame really. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh, yes. I hate things. Now get off my lawn. |

i think its ##### what capcom is doing to us! first capcom made megaman legends 1 and 2 and those games made the fans megaman horny! so i think its just ##### to let all those megaman legends fans wait for megaman legends 3! its been to long, over a while the most fans will not be a big fan anymore, because there coming great new games! and megaman legends 1 and 2 will becoming uglyer and uglyer day by day! if you look at the difference like lets say halo 3 and megaman legends 2, you see the difference very bad! they need to make mml 3 very soon because over a while megaman legends will be so damn ugly everyone will forget it! I just played megaman legends a week before to remember the good old times, but it wasnt the fun it were before. thats why i and all the mml fans need a new mml! WE NEED NEW ADVENTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elfs were a big gameplay nerf, yes. Ranking system just screwed you out of normal "beat the level" stuff you get in Classic or X. While dumb, it didn't really detract from gameplay.
So pluses would be:
+ sub tanks/heart tanks back to X style
However, gameplay wise, that's really about it. ZX's model system nerfs the CORE gameplay far more than the cyber elfs did the secondary gameplay of MMZ, and outside of ZX for the (gimped) buster, you only need FX for the double jump/air dash. The rest are substancial filler that are even less useful than Water Wave or Rush Marine. Stage design really isn't much better over MMZ either.
So I really don't see how you can say the gameplay is better than MMZ.

ZX IMO is a major improvement from the utter #####hole that is MMZ. To me ZX was like playing MMX all over again.
That's it, no more trips to the brain slug planet for you. To compare ZX to X is SO inaccurate one wonders if you're not immune to the Brain Spawn's attack. Rez sorry to envoke your tomatoe stick filled wrath but please enlighten me onto why you feel ZX is horrible.
Gameplay. The gameplay is awful. Instead of having all your abilities to use, you get to change forms to do them. That's annoying as #####. No, ZXA didn't fix that. At all. Model X has what should be your buster, ZX's forced mode buster sucks ass compared to X's. Saber is also still MMZ quality, which was never as good as X4's or even X5 or X6 Zero. The only reason to use ZX is the buster. The only reason to use FX is double jump/air dash. Have fun switching between the two every 3 minutes just to get across a gap. The rest of the forms are useless outside a stage designed reason to switch to it for 5 seconds to get past it. ZXA is playing Axl by default. Axl < X or Zero in gameplay. Morphing into bosses does nothing and is even less practicle than the useless model forms. So now in ZX you just have MORE useless forms that do nothing for gameplay. ZX is actually quite possibly WORSE than MMZ in gameplay. I won't touch the rest because it's all awful as well. |

I don't like rail shooters like that. Other than that my only HATE for the game comes from the fact it's being used to bridge the gap between the old games and 4's plot from what I understand with the new level at the end.
Now while I wanted a game/to play the events that caused Umbrella to finally be taken down (LOL STOCKS) doing it in this format is the most #####ing retarted thing ever.
I don't plan to buy it because I hate first person rail shooters like that though.

Oh, I enjoyed it enough overall. The graphics upgrades looked gorgeous. The cut scenes and stuff were also a good idea. But unfortunately, said cut scenes were all based on the canon rewrite MHX pulled, and thus sucked. The remixes were, frankly, not good overall. Some were down right WRONG (Armored Armadillo) Moving the Light capsules was completely unnecessary, and changing Light's first message was akin to blaspheme. Vile mode was meh. Very meh.
A for effort, D for execution. Though I'd still reccomend people give it a play. It will make you wish for a REAL X1 update.

Wow, those covers are great, Rez.
Great idea, great implimention...
GREAT.
It took a LONG time to nail it down, and I'm still not sold on the "sprite art" covers for several of them (MM2 included). But yeah, overall I'm very pleased. Though I still have to come up with SNES, Game Boy and DS cover styles. Come the first of the year I'll have some real time to invest in it. |

MMZ, ZX and SF are the only out and out #####pile new series. Classic, X, Legends and Battle Network were ALL soild series and very well done updates/reimagings of the Blue Bomber. It's been in the VERY near past that all quality and care was abandoned. X and Battle Network both spiraled into terrible levels of poor design and bloating. Legends and Classic were abandoned outright. Then we get "great" new games like MMZ, which failed utterly to capture the magic. Was it the poor stage design? The basic gameplay systems? The fact you didn't play as Mega Man? The fact you actually got to play as Zero but it wasn't Zero? The fact it began a roller coaster ride of cancer that would tear asunder the much beloved X series plot? It was doubtlessly all of these things. Capcom got it wrong on every detail.
But the best part? Up became down, left became right and bad became good. This was the new standard. And so we get 3 more of these piles of ##### games. Not only that, the series and spin offs that had been so well done/conceived were also systematically infected by this poison, reducing them to the same level. Battle Network became a quick cash in, losing all character and playability. X was constantly beset by attempts to mold it into a base for MMZ, coupled by terrible stage design game concepts. Axl. For #####s sake, THEY MADE AXL.
Capcom could still reinvent Mega Man. It could be good. It's just NOT. And it's because, in part, of the current game culture and what brain dead "HARCORE" gamers and today's Ritalin ADD kiddies.
The future does not look bright. But at least we still have a healthy supply of vintage games that have weathered well over time and are still just as good as the day they came out. So yes. I think I shall sit down with a glass of brandy and continue to enjoy the games that ARE good, and wait, perhaps in vain, for the next X or Legends reimaging to occur and for Mega Man to finally return to where he belongs. In a good game.

No, I didn't miss the "complete" in the title. I see your logic, but that's not a chain and lock on never making a new game. They release a "complete" X book? Great. X9 can still happen. I couldn't give a flying ##### if MMZ continues, but frankly, it could too if Capcom wanted to do a 5th one.
A stupid little book is not a law baring Capcom from making a new Mega Man game, and to think so is utterly absurd.

Perhaps you are looking in the wrong room? Most people desire a Legends sequel, and will not allow the fear you have to control them.
You seem to be mistaken I'm afraid of something. I have no fear of Legends 3 being bad because it's a fact it WILL be. I just don't want or need to see the train wreck it will be. Doesn't mean I don't WANT there to be one, I just know if it does the game will be so bad it would have been better of not being made.
As for Inafune, at this point regardless of how at fault he is or isn't, it's clear he won't be GIVEN the chance to prove he can still make a decent game. And even if he is, he'll be bound by the canon and what has been crafted by inti anyway.

It's "orchNEStra". The o is not capitalized.
And no, I didn't have the Japanese CV3 ripped. Maybe I should, if I can find a sound file for it or if the game itself still had a sound test on the Japanese version.

Get off your nostalgic tower and give the ZX series a try.
Right, nostalgia doesn't make a bad game good. It makes you REMEMBER a bad game as being good. ZX is bad all on it's own merits AND in comparison to the clean game play and presentation of the older games. And as Chron said, I HAVE played ZX. Beat both Aile and Vent's games. I gave it a chance, JUST like I gave MMZ a chance. It sucks. It's really not as bad as you're saying.
Of COURSE I exaggerate when I talk about it to make a point, but it IS bad. And it IS substantially inferior to any single 8bit or 16 bit Mega Man game save possibly Mega Man 6. But even that's a close call. At least MM6 has Dr. Wily. |

So I'm working on revamping orchNEStra, and it's slow going. The fact I've just been promoted and I'm helping out at the mall to as a favor is not helping to get the project done. However, I do have a solid start on the visual side of the revamp, and so I shall share a small preview of some of the goodies you'll see. First up, the new Album art:  Bionic Commando's pixel art cover. Here are a few thumbs of some others        And part of the downloadable gem case inserts you can print to make your OWN real CD!Download From My WebspaceAs you can imagine, doing all this for EVERY game I have up is going to take a while, but I think you'll agree it will look great. Of course after that I still have to redo a good chunk of the osts to standardize the play times and volume. ... look forward to the reopening in 2009 >_>;; |

By saying that, they might as well never make a new classic, X or Legends game. Right?
DAMN right. I'd rather have no new games than the complete garbage they've been crapping out. It's like getting to see Grandpa one more time but he's a rotting corpse bleeding poison. ZX is honestly all we have going for us, since X will have their Complete Source Book released soon enough, I can practically feel it. Star Force is a moot point, but at least ZX stands a decent chance, if we throw our anger and disappointment towards what Megaman has become.
ZX has NO chance. It's flawed from the foundation up. No part of it is salvageable nor was it ever. I'll also point out that the release of source books does not mean THE END. There are a lot of source books for ongoing projects. What happens when it gets farther? A new/updated source book is released. Your logic is completely flawed on that. I'm not going to fear and shun Legends 3 just because there's a possibility it won't live up to expectations.
Have fun sitting in the corner by yourself. How could you even entertain the thought so seriously?
Oh... I dunno. Could it be the fact the whole of MMZ was garbage? Battle Network went from being solid to indistinguishable from maggot infested roadkill? Star Force is worse than the last 3 BN games? That ZX is a watered down MMZ which is even WORSE than MMZ was. That the X series was flushed down the toilet to pander to a sequel series that brings shame to the material it supposedly builds off of? You're right, I have NO reason to think Legends 3 will suck. You can't rationalize that it'd most likely come up short just because you don't like ZX or MMZ.
Oh, I can rationalize it just fine even if I DID like ZX and MMZ. Which I don't. I happen to like both of those series, but that's entirely besides the point.
Thank you for helping to guarantee we get bad Mega Man games. The only reason Inafune is even "bogged down" is because Capcom is the one holding his arms behind his back on the idea.
Yes, the drop in quality, poor concepts and all the problems are ALL Capcom's fault. If only Inafune had complete control to do whatever he wanted then I'd be all roses and Mega Man 2. Sorry, but that's pure bull#####. Inafune is not blameless. He and Capcom are in it together. If anything, Legends 3 might be exactly what Inafune needs to break free from said putrid continuity.
HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh ho ho... that RICH. Inafune has done nothing but HELP add to the continuity cluster #####. It will go the route MMZ and ZX have in tying everything into one big retconned toilet of a tale. Legends will be retconned into oblivion just like X was. The man's stated on multiple occasions how he wishes to make the game more than anything, it'd be a much needed breath of fresh air to him.
Yes, and seeing his work and what he's contributed to lately, I see no reason to think it would be anything but as bad as we know it will be. Legends is a different game from MMZ, ZX or Star Force, regardless of how you feel about them. And? It's no different that it's now been forced into a completely broken and decaying timeline that reeks of bad fanfiction. It's charm, style and identity will be subverted to fit into this wretched festering pile of garbage that is now "Mega Man". So it really doesn't matter how "different" it is. Why be so pessimistic?
Oh... I dunno. Could it be the fact the whole of MMZ was garbage? Battle Network went from being solid to indistinguishable from maggot infested roadkill? Star Force is worse than the last 3 BN games? That ZX is a watered down MMZ which is even WORSE than MMZ was. That the X series was flushed down the toilet to pander to a sequel series that brings shame to the material it supposedly builds off of? You're right, I have NO reason to think Legends 3 will suck.
Oh, I don't know, 3 or 4 years of complete ##### out of Capcom? |

I think what needs to happen is that Mega Man needs to go 3D. However it needs to be done right. See Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess and to a lesser extent, Prime 3.
No. These are excellent examples of good 3D games of 2D franchises.
You just lost all credibility to participate in this discussion. Metroid was, is and always WILL be a platformer. NOT a FPS. Prime is a FPS. All 3 are. Metroid Prime is the ANTITHESIS of a good 2D to 3D transition. You want to cite 2D to 3D transitions? Super Mario 64. THAT is the standard. Galaxy is good, but still not quite up to 64 pound for pound. You don't change genre for a series and call it "Mission Accomplished". Mega Man can work in 3D because it ALREADY has. Legends is SOLID 3D Mega Man. Minor camera issues aside, it is how a platforming adventure Mega Man game should be. After clearing your painfully inaccurate statement I can say that as far as Mega Man's future goes, we're pretty #####ed. If ZX, a poor excuse for MMZ which was itself a poor excuse for a Mega Man game, does poorly, no new Mega Man. If it does well, we just get more of the same low quality #####. We can't win either way. Mega Man is dead. That is a very, VERY sad fact. |

I want Mega Man 9 a HELL of a lot more than Legends 3, but I pray they never make it. Why?
All I want is 8 robot masters, some solid arcade platforming stages with distinct flavor (flavor =/= forced stage gameplay themes) and a good simple "Wily attacks again" to tie it all together. But we won't get that. Every stage will be some poorly designed "theme" (speeder bike, fixed scroll ceiling crush, giant robot chase you, etc, etc) which kills the fast paced platforming and some horrendous "ZOMG WILY MAKES ZERO SOMEDAY MEGAMAN WILL BE AN ELF" bad fan fiction plot to tie it into the other abortions Capcom has made post MMZ/ZX.
And so too will the case be with Legends 3. The first two games are solid gold. But they're dead. let them rest in peace. Legends 3 will be just as bad as ZX, Starforce and MMZ. Inafune and Capcom have lost the magic and are too bogged down in a putrid continuity to ever make the game Legends 3 deserves to be.

Do you like the MMZ plot? Do you like MMZ? Do you dislike the X series before X5? Then you'll probably love the MMZ Complete Works.
If, however, you're a sane Mega Man fan who liked X before X5 and hate MMZ and the raping it did to the X series and it's spin off (ZX) and the fact it tries to tie Legends into the timeline, you'll probably hate it.
When I offer MY opinion on ANYTHING MMZ related, you should know I won't be good. Your milage may vary.
