I took a long break between starting X4 and finishing it, so I can't give you a ranking. 2 and 3 are a blur, and I didn't like 4 so much. My gut is telling me 1>2>4>3, only because 3's final boss had the most bullshit hitbox and it felt hokier and cheaper than 2, which in turn felt hokier and cheaper than 1.

I know 4 is a fan favorite, but I can't get past the trappings of the PS1 format. The loading screens and the annoying voice for X are just annoying, and I didn't really like the last boss. I liked the Double twist, legitimately didn't see that one coming, but it feels kinda herky-jerky and crusty due to its format whereas the SNES games - especially X1 - have aged remarkably well.

I will say that I didn't bother with the Zero campaign though, I tried a little bit and I just wasn't into it. I'm here to play Jump n' Shoot Man, Zero's cool but like c'mon. I'll consider going back and trying it, but otherwise I could just watch a playthrough or the cutscenes and get the same result. I already know that Iris replaces Double and her boss fight leads to that classic meme cutscene.

But yeah, Legacy Collection 2 was on sale so I got it. I'm looking forward to playing it, for better and for worse (hello X7).

But I don't have to make this mistake, and I don't have to stay this way.
