The fact people keep saying ZX is "a good meagman game" is the a good indication of what's actually wrong with the series.
ZX is not a good game. I'm sorry. I'm willing to let opinion slide, but the fact remains that the game play in ZX is atrocious. MMZ played better than ZX. ZX's gameplay is hingent on the "change form" gimmick, and anyone who says there is no problem with that in regards to gameplay is either lying or a complete idiot.
Spliting up the basic movements/abilities of the player cripples the gameplay. I cite the most grevious example of this as using Model ZX and Model HX. Air dashing and double jumping are two of the most basic moves, and the terrain is set up so you need to use said abilites frequently. However, ZX's weapons are basically your default set of buster and saber. HX's knifes suck. So you end up switching back and foreth ever few steps to do what you should be able to do by default. It goes on and on.
Now, if you want to move past the gameplay to every other aspect of ZX, I'll give you some leeway on being able say it's good before I stab you in the eye, but frankly, ZX managed to improve on the ultimate suck of MMZ's design and plot. All of that is much more subjective.
Howver, I won't cry if there's no ZX3. ZXA was unplayable. I got to the first set of missions and finished two before I got sick of forcing myself to play it for the sake of playing it. ZX is no better than SF, and both are pretty #####ty Mega Man spin offs.
Frankly, I don't see what Capcom can do really. Going back to the old series we'd actually like will only result in said games being done in the style/flavor of the new ##### they're crapping out and will be forced to build into the cancerous #####hole of MMZ/ZX continuity. Look at X7/X8 to guage how MM9/X9/Legends 3 will turn out. No thanks. A new spin off? Again, looking at where Capcom is right now, I don't see how another new spin off would be any good. The days of Legends and BN are over. Legends was abandoned and BN rapped into the ground.
ZX dying a most deserved death doesn't mark the end of Mega Man. It was already done with before ZX even showed up.

Cloverfield:
The movie was awful.
First, while the characters weren't bad, the drama bomb plot concerning them was absolutely BORING compared to the ##### awesome that was the monster attack and it's little friends that was going on in the back ground.
The camera was so #####ing shaky that it made me want to vomit. Badly. Wholly half the movie was excessive "shaking the camera" to hammer home the fact it was an "armature filming" angle. And when it wasn't being spun, shaken or waved around, the camera was pointed at the guys feet or wall. They could have kept the camera much more stable and STILL kept the feel they were aiming for. Really, not even the most retarded, brain damaged paint huffing special Olympic runner up type with parkensons would jolt the camera as bad as the people in this movie.
This idea worked for Blair Witch because it was largely not dependant on the background goings on, but this movie was done on the epic scale of monster destroys city. And the monster was fairly interesting. I was far more interested in what it was, how it got there and how the fight against it was going than these idiots running around.
I'd say the movie was bad. It would have been OK for what it was if they'd handled the camera better, but as it was, I just think the movie took one awesome concept and one boring as ##### concept and made you sit through the boring one while dangling the awesome one just out of reach for 80 minutes.

Incorrect, since it can be re-downloaded in a jiffy, since all XBLA games are weensy and it remembers what you've bought.
So in 5, 10 or 15+ years when these networks no longer exist I can still download the game when my 10th HD has failed? I think not. What if I don't have an internet connection for an extended period? This is not a solution or alternative to physical media. Incorrect, since it can be downloaded there in a jiffy, since all XBLA games are weensy and it remembers what you've bought.
So you can download it to any 360 even if it's not yours as long as you've paid for it once? Or conversely if you log into your "gamer tag" on a friends xbox and download it does it stay on his 360's hard drive when you log off and he logs on? Either way I don't see how that doesn't just stop you from dumping it on a memory card and just playing it on any xbox, ie just download it off the net and play it. Same reason I can't just load roms I get from the net onto my wii memory card and put them on virtual console. And it's still a further unnecessary step to access the internet to redownload a game vs just putting the disc in the thing and playing it. |

At least with 360 you can remove the hard drive
Hard drives are not designed to be tossed in a back pack and thrown around like a CD/DVD in it's case. and they sell Memory Cards.
Nothing to do with downloading the game and playing it at other people's house. |

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/846/846125p1.htmlNew 2D Bionic Commando remake. Download only. Looks damn good. Keeping what made the NES game epic, but expanding in ways that don't ##### it up. The ONLY saving grace is that it's on PS3 and 360, so in theory I might be able to play it since I'll never own a 360. But I still absolutely hate this digital distribution #####. Hard drive fails? Bye bye games. Want to take it over to a friends to play? Have fun lugging your own console. Want to enjoy your collection? You'll have to turn on your tv and go screen by screen. /rant

I didn't have a single real "HOLY #####" moment in 4. A few "##### this is going to take a lot to kill". The closest thing was the lake monster. And even then that was more like "another boss fight" because of the combat focused gameplay.

Voulnet, almost every gamer agrees that RE4 is, indeed, an amazing game. You're the first I've read stating their dislike for it.
I wonder what group of gamers is that.
If RE4 was a game of another series, I might agree to a little extent. However, I'm talking about a game that is part of the RE series.
The plot, the gameplay, the characters, the feel of the game and even the wannabe-zombies. Sorry, man. But this is no Resident Evil. Daughter of the president was kidnapped by some cult for political reasons? No way, give me the horror, the zombies, T-Virus, Umbrella Inc and Raccoon City all day long, let's not even talk about Leon Kennedy, urgh.
Sorry but if RE4 was a game of its own, not a part of RE4 series, I might like it. But if you want to count it as such, then you shouldn't have made it like that, especially with the plot. If it wasn't for the fascinating plot and the horror of the RE series, the series would have been just one of those stupid 'shooting' games.
RE4 was a great game. RE4 was a bad Resident Evil game. It ditched virtually all the games conventions that defined it and flushed the story the first 5 games made. Using ink ribbons to limit saves creates some very real tension forcing you to manage your saves. Combat was part of gameplay, but it wasn't a combat game. Because of the limited ammo, combat always ran the risk of running you out of ammo which also caused a good deal of tension. The inventory system made you choose weapons/ammo vs picking/carrying items. This was a bit annoying at times, but the thought of not having enough ammo/powerfull enough weapon sent chills down MY spine. Overly complex nonsensical puzzles? Definitely a staple. The often ridiculous ways to open doors/boxes was almost so over the top it was crazy, but at the same time it was a nice contrast to the terrifying atmosphere you were in. RE4 had unlimited saved. Combat became a large focus with ammo being thrown at you every few steps. There was never any fear of running out. You could carry half a house in your inventory. Puzzles were all but eliminated and with the constant interaction with NPCs, heavy combat and ample supplies, the game never had any real sense of impending doom/terror. The fact the game STARTS by saying "Yeah, Umbrella was destroyed by a stock crash, now it's 7 years later" nearly gave me an aneurysm. I spent what, 5 or 6 years playing the series which was setting up a huge confrontation with the Umbrella Home Base, and then not only do we NOT get it, we're told it just fell apart from finances after US sanctions? #### you Capcom. Then we get a plot that's pretty much completely unrelated to Resident Evil with the most bare bones felt tacked on "Wesker is going to revive Umbrella now after 7 years" subplot. Resident Evil 4 is a great game. I loved it. But let's be frank. It was complete ##### as a Resident Evil game. It failed to bring over the key gameplay features with the updated control setup, it focused on combat far too much and it wrote off the series plot. And because of the success, RE5 will probably be (and looks to be) cookie cutter 4 set in a new local. |

Skies of Arcadia.
If you put either Starfox on your list because you liked the SNES or N64 games, remove both the Gamecube Starfox games. They both suck ass. Assault at least PRETENDS to try to be an actual Starfox game, but it does everything wrong. The rail shooter stages don't play anywhere near as well as 64's and the rest is all poorly designed/implemented on foot or free range vehicle missions.
Then again, you have Prime 1 and 2 on your list.
