Post by: ASR on 2 December 2007, 22:39:57
I was very pleased with ZX:A. I didn't get to complete Expert mode because my data got cleared, but everything about the game was great. Even the unlockable mini-games and such were quality.

Being able to play as an 8-bit Model A made me so happy.


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: NovaMan XP on 2 December 2007, 22:47:27
It was alright. But it wasn't OMG AWESOME.

I was done with it in a week. Model a is kinda cool though (And I don't mean Model Axl). >_>

Title: Re: Advent

For the record, Model A isn't even Axl.

I once respected you for having a cool opinion! I don't respect you any longer! Model A was awesome... ZXA was awesome! It had what many games of the Rockman/Megaman series lack... actual good gamplay!

Really, ZX series is all we have going for us now, so I suggest people start throwing out their misgivings towards Axl (or not-really-Axl), because this is all we're gonna get.

Like ZX, ZX:  Advent was made of pure win.  

The game was very fun and enjoyable and the difficulty was perfect.

Oh and Boss Battle mode pwns.


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: ASR on 3 December 2007, 00:12:04
The entire game was well-made. I agree on the difficulty bit: I find plenty of games too easy nowadays, and all 3 difficulty levels of ZX:A were exactly as described: Easy, Normal, or Expert. Needless to say, I enjoyed Expert the most. I'll go back and actually replay the game in a few months, but I lost my enthusiasm when my data got bleeped.


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: preventerWIND on 3 December 2007, 00:12:54
OMFG XELLOOO!

I agree, and the addition of mini-games were neat, I mastered Megaman a, but I have yet to beat hard mode to unlock section-3 : (


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: Xero on 3 December 2007, 00:23:06
Boss Battle mode actually prepares you for Expert mode since all the bosses are fought in that difficulty.

Seconded.

Game is good. Although, I mainly suggest just playing it. Buying it for keeps I'd say should be up to you.

Boss Mode made me happy if only because it reminded me of simpler times.

woah i still prefer the original ZX

took me 3 days to beat ZX advent on normal, absolutely no challenge and managed to beat expert about a month after i got it, and pretty much beat it all within 2 months

it took me 2 months to BEAT ZX and i still dont have OX (mainly beacuse i lent it to someone and probably have no hope of seeing it again)


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: Irisblossom on 11 June 2008, 23:01:56
i'v played zxa and its kinda frustrating to find out how to get to some bosses but there is still one thing i don't get.

usually the biometals are named after a specific hero(E.X modle z=modle zero, modle x=megaman x) but why do they call modle a modle albert when he has the copping ability like axl? i know that albert was his creator but still.....


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: preventerWIND on 11 June 2008, 23:06:08
It's just MegaMan/Capcom trickery. It's obviously Axl but it's just Capcom saying "LOL NOW IT MAKES SENSE"

MegaMan has yet to make sense though.


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: Chron on 12 June 2008, 22:07:48
I still haven't heard a single thing that will make me want to play Advent.
I barely enjoyed ZX as it was... and changing the characters (while I appreciate older Aile, still...) killed it off.
Plus, I never liked Axl. He's the godmoding fan-character insertion of the Mega Man universe.

Like Shadow in Sonic (although that series had likewise been dead several games before).


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: Neo Arcadian Hero on 13 June 2008, 03:25:48
Actually, Shadow came to the Sonic series while it was still on Dreamcast, so Shadow is an accepatble character.

Replace Shaodw with Silver and i agree with you 100%.


Title: Re: Advent

By the way... Abe, why did you edit Chron's post?


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: Chron on 13 June 2008, 03:37:42
May have corrected an error or something, or misfired. Happens when you're browsing.

The Sonic games died after Sonic and Knuckles (read: not during, but after).
I'm what you might call a bitter old fan.

This has been discussed a million times.  Model A is Axl in ability, appearance and attitude.  Capcom can call it whatever they want (And they have), it's still Axl.

Yes, if he doesn't work, he doesn't get paid.  If he doesn't get paid he doesn't eat Haggus.  If he doesn't eat Haggus he doesn't go potty.  If he doesn't go potty he ASPLODES!

That's only part of it. I haven't tried it, but it can't be a gross as people make it out to be. I mean, people still eat hot dogs and that's made of the raunchiest.

Actually, Shadow came to the Sonic series while it was still on Dreamcast, so Shadow is an accepatble character.

Replace Shaodw with Silver and i agree with you 100%.

Neither Shadow nor Silver are acceptable by any stretch of the word or imaginable divine cosmic intervention on any multiversal plane here said The Mikero--hallowed be His name--who walks in shadows with twilight abominations and strikes with fists like something unto iron, may disease and infestation rain down upon his enemies like thunderbolts.

I hope you don't mean "regular" as in ordinary, because that's clearly farce. However if you mean "regular" as in my digestion habits, then that's fine.

Yeah, 'cause I was totally being serious and making myself look like Jesus everything. Man up, toots. You want to be quick to run your mouth all over the place? Fine. But don't come at me like I'M some #####ing C.H.U.D. just 'cause I allow myself to have a little laugh at no one else's expense.

Also, I think you're definition of Jesus' abilities, style, description, and image is greatly skewed.

Title: Re: Advent

If you can get it for less than 15 to 20 bucks, do it.
Or borrow it from a friend, it's easy enough to beat in a week.


Title: Re: Advent

And one you get model ZX (which is about 60% through the game) it becomes a whole lot easier.

Why don't you just check out professional game review sites, like gamespot.com or 1up.com?


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: Lunchebox on 30 June 2008, 19:50:41
Why don't you just check out professional game review sites, like gamespot.com or 1up.com?

Because game companies pay those websites to give them good reviews?

Gamespot for instance, fired someone for giving Kane and Lynch a mediocre review, as the company who made the game recently gave gamespot a LOT of money to re-vamp the website with a Kane and Lynch background and such.


Title: Re: Advent

Title: Re: Advent

I heard about that. Is that really true?

Yeah, its true. The guy who got fired was the same guy who gave Zelda: TP 7.8 I think? And Metroid Prime 3 8.2 or something like that...

I forget the ratings but there was a HUGE #####storm at GameFAQs because those games didn't get rated higher than 9.5.

You can just imagine how happy those people were when he got fired.


Title: Re: Advent

Well 1up.com is useful. I've been reading their mag and a few month's issues ago the editor Dan Shoe Hsu told about how game companies have pulled their ads from the mag because of the reviews they got, but EGM kept right on giving the games the scores they deserved, either good or bad.

Because that's not his job.

His job is a to give it a good score and to hype the game, depending on how much they payed gamespot for the review.

Dan 'Shoe' Hsu, the greatest editor-in-chief of all time, is leaving EGM. I can't believe it. And he's being replaced by James Mielke. His name sounds so inferior compared to Shoe's. I just got winduh of this after reading my latest EGM mag. I'm so pissed right now.

Advent is a decent game. What really bothers me though is that Model A carries the guns in his/her hands instead of it being attached to the arm like the other series. Having a gun for an arm is what makes MegaMan so awesome and it just does not seem right that now that he is carrying it around in his hands. Nonetheless this is worth playing.

The closest thing to Mega Man are the kart racers in ZX. And personally I found the Zero games to be better than ZX, I didn't like playing as random half assed characters that take on the ability of 20 people, screw the skitso chumps.

I loved Mega Man Zero 2, my favorite game from the Zero series, and beats the ZX games by far.


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: Mikero on 11 November 2008, 03:23:40
I haven't played ZX, but I like the concept better than I've liked MMZ through MMZ3 all together.

That's not saying much though, since I like the concept of a two-assed no-headed dog more than I liked MMZ.

That sounds silly. See, MMZ did one thing right, the whole #####ing government was corrupt, not just one high up military dude with a stick up his ass.

Besides, if it ain't Sigma, it ain't worth my time.

YAWNSVILLE. It was Colonel Redips, he corrupted like the whole military or some thing. I can't remember. He wasn't the coolest villain in the game (Epsilon).

ALSO "Epsilon" fits the name scheme. I can't believe I didn't realize that until just now.

Hmmm... I hope I have enough punishment in my bag of pain for this...

ZX games are good, but not Zero.

ZX games are worse than Zero, if thats even possible.  Before your mauling I shall allow you to defend your statement.  Make it good, as you have only 10 seconds.

Command Mission was a bad megaman game and a bad RPG.

No such luxury for you.  You get a tomatoe stick up the ass and a kick into the Mauling tent for a fabulous 6 night 7 day vacation in scenic pain town, where your right to have an opinion will be officially revoked.  Command Mission was an ok RPG and a GOOD X game.  It had it's share of flaws, as most decent RPGs do, but it was FAR from bad and felt like the first real X game since X4.

Better story (still not good but doesn't make me want to throw my DS across the room), less rape-you-up-the-ass difficult, dual screens made certain functions easier (even though those functions were by-and-large stupid), and they're not actually defiling the X series characters anymore, just their 'souls'.


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: Mikero on 11 November 2008, 22:27:37
Yeah but the whole "souls" idea kind of defiles the X characters in the first place...

You're not wrong. But I hope when I finally die (March, 2099) my soul doesn't get locked into some suit. I don't need to be the Forsworn Knight (Although he is badass, I don't feel like being locked as an apparition in a suit of armor, unable to do anything for hundreds of years. That's worse than a line at the DMV).


Title: Re: Advent
Post by: TheRedPriest on 12 November 2008, 03:18:11
Better story

Same story really.  ZX's own cast is completely subservient to MMZ's GHOST ZOMBIE POWER RANGER characters.  In that respect ZX's story is even WORSE since it's built up completely on MMZ's.

less rape-you-up-the-ass difficult

MMZ in and of itself wasn't THAT hard.  But earning/getting anything past just beating the game WAS.  ZX isn't any harder, but it's not that easier in that respect.

dual screens made certain functions easier (even though those functions were by-and-large stupid)

I don't see anything that really fits that, but sure, ok.

and they're not actually defiling the X series characters anymore, just their 'souls'.

ZX is 90% MMZ5.  It's just as insulting to X as MMZ, if not more because once great characters are reduced to even LESS.  But in the end ZX is just more of the same MMZ bull##### but even #####tier.  In every way.

Nothing personal.  THIS TIME.

Actually, ZX is insulting to X and Legends.


Title: Re: Advent

... that is an EXCELLENT point.  The #####ting on X is just a lot more promonant since it's suppose to be directly spun out of it, while Legends itself isn't connected from it's side yet.  And God willing, it never will be.
