Haven't played 8. Not sure why they skipped from 6 to 8 though.

@TheMarthKoopa

You still hold that Mega Man X6 is a good game? :P

Anyways, imo

X > 2 > 5 > 3 > 4 > 8 > 7 > 6

Admittedly 5 should probably be lower but it has sentimental value to me. Also probably had the most interesting use of the series mythology imo.

I have not actually played 7 or 8.

2, 4, 1, 3, 5, 8, 6, 7

X6 > X2 > X4 > X3 > X > X5

Absolutely

Still don't understand why people hate it and would rate the fucking garbage that are X7 and X8 above it

X5 would have been my number 1 if this had actually happened.

Wasn't aware of the hate for 6. Why? Because someone else has a sabre?

4>1>3>2>5>8>6>7

While 4 was relatively easy, next to 1, the FMV anime cutscenes, the intro, and the two different games in one make it stand out above the rest. I used to rank 2 over 3 before I learned to get around the increased difficulty and found it more fun overall. 5 is when I felt they started getting lazy with production. It didn't come off as good as 4 did. 8 was ok...though I hated the Sigma design and fight. 6 and 7 just as soon not exist.

Rescuing Reploids (which started in X5)
Nightmare enemies
Nightmare effects
Extremely poor level design
Extreme difficulty in the Gate stages
Annoying enemies
Donuts
Alia
High Max
Museum RNG
and alot more

Music is good though.

Don't forget the Gate fight itself. Literally just tries ramming into you while you fuck around over a bottomless pit and wait for him to crap out the energy orbs you need to actually damage him. Lazy attack pattern, and is more a test of enduring tedium than technical skill.

And to give Alia credit, at least you could just ignore her in this game, unlike X5 where she was constantly stopping the action to nag at you.

Nightmare enemies
Nightmare effects

The nightmare dudes are easy to kill and the nightmare effects provide interesting changes/challenges to levels

Extremely poor level design

Extremely GOOD level design, actually

Better than X8's nonexistent level design (two levels are just bike chases) but people will praise that game

Extreme difficulty

Difficulty? How terrible! Can't have that in a Mega Man game

Annoying enemies

Where?

Donuts

Donuts are tasty

Alia

Doesn't have forced dialogue everywhere like she has in X5

High Max

???????

I just want new Mega Man games, is that too much to ask?

lmao marthkoopa continuing to hold his shit opinion

x > x5 > x2 > x8 = x4 > x3 > x6 > x7
---

6 Is bad because it has everything bad with 5, which is a lot, and added more.
---

X4 > Maverick Hunter X > X5 > X1 > X8 > X2 > X3 > X6 > X7
---

been awhile since i played but i pretty much keep them all in order. first 4 are definitely the best with 1 being my favorite. never played 8 and barely played 7 since i didn't like it. 6 i didn't care much for either so that's last of the ones i beat.

yea 1-7 all in order. 8 is the only one that could jump up. 2 and 3 might be switched around. i'd have to play them and 4 again to see which i liked better.

2>1>3>4>5>6

Haven't played 7 or 8

X2 > X > X3 > X4

Haven't played the rest.

These sound like X6 was unpopular solely because it was a step towards the difficulty of its early ancestors.

The reploid rescuing was completely optional. Museum RNG iirc was varied but fair. So long as you could pass it you were able to move on. Gate stages I remember having some difficulty but bosses were piss easy maybe except Max.
