  • Hm.  Mega Man X7 gets a mediocre (6.5) review from Gamespot.  Oh well...as long as I get to rip shit up with Zero I'll be happy.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I think the last 4 X's have gotten mediocre reviews. They always say "not much has changed", which is exactly what I want. Only the GBA ones have gotten something different</div>

New maze, same old boring ass shit. Megaman: old and busted. Castlevania: new hotness.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>There are somewhere around 15 games to play if you want something that 'hasn't changed much'. Both the X serise and Megaman series are supposed to have an ending, you know. X7 even conveniently ignores the fact that Zero was supposed to be gone in his self-sleep</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>An amazing amount has changed in the 15 years the series has been running. Play Mega Man 1 then go and try Mega Man X7 and you'll see. THere's something to be said for evolutionary steps, it doesn't all have to be revolutionary. Hell, look at console RPGs..</div>
