Megaman ZX, that new megaman thingamagno.

Because nobody loves me, i bought myself megaman ZX for my bithday. Its pretty different then a majorty of the MM games. for instance, it no longer takes 20 minutes to beat, and the plot is actually somewhat interesting with charater devlopment and diolouge relivant to the plot! Lets compare the writing in previous megaman games.

MEGAMAN: Please stop (insert whatever lame confict invloving sigma.) or i will defeat you!
BOSS: No, im going to defeat you!
MEGAMAN: No! Im going to defeat YOU.
(boss fight.)

Im very glad capcom took the time to improve the overall setup of the series, ZX incudes the classic elements of jumping and shooting things, and exploration. I guess its comparable to metroid or the newer castlevaina games.

Its pretty swell, it has some actual length to the game. Though, im not entierly sure how long the game is. So far ive clocked in about an hour to the game. I like it a ton.

Whats MFGG feelings on it?

Got it when it came out, beat it in about a week with 10 hours on my file.

It's fun, but pretty much like the Megaman Zero games, minus the stupid rank system.

And I'm sorry, but the story IS typical Capcom Megaman BS. XD The ending is so rife with cliches it's not even funny.

Playing as Model HX was fun.

On the subject of length, my first playthough (normal mode with Aile) took a little over 15 hours, and my second playthrough (with Vent) took a little over 7 and a half hours. For my first two playthroughs, I didn't bother with the subquests (save for the subtanks, and you-know-what in Area N), because
Spoilers:

I wanted to get my first two playthroughs done relatively quickly so that I may be able to keep Model X in all my subsequent playthroughs.

Now, I am taking my sweet time on my third playthrough (with Aile).

Needless to say I am enjoying this game, I say it's the most fun I've had with a Megaman game in quite a while (although Zero 3 was great as well). And HX is fun indeed.

As for the story, I guess it is decent for Megaman standards, but I really don't play MM games (or any games for that matter) for their storytelling. The DR. WILY WANTS TO CONQUER THE WORLD WITH 8 ROBOTS WHO HAVE SILLY NAMES stuff worked fine for me, really.

By the way, Aile > Vent.

Well yeah, neither do I, but I'm just saying that I don't think it's as decent as Wash Your Hands Man is saying.

And I played as Aile from the getgo cuz I thought she was the only one who got Model PX. XD Model LX sucks btw.

I love ZX
But I didn't beat it yet cuz I didn't know about those
STUPID element thingies. I didn't know you had to activate ois first! GARRRGH!! But it is reletively easy, but at least it was worth buying.
I chose it over Harvest Moon Ds
