I just want to say, first off, that I applaud Capcom. I never thought it was possible to take a moderate Mega Man fan like myself, and completely take what I know about Mega Man, and make it completely irrelevant. Thanks.

I mean I was kind of concerned about the original ZX, but it was still kinda there. I mean it still kinda felt, at least, like it belonged to the Zero family. ZX Advent has taken all familiar charactes and removed them. They have fundamentally destroyed MOST of the mechanics that make a Mega Man game, and there are Sailor Moon-esque transformation sequence, busy body scripts full of fluff, and well, its just not Mega Man. Not MY Mega Man at least.

Ill play it, im sure its competent in its mechanics; it IS Capcom. But its utterly generic. If they called this Sailor Biometal Warrior I wouldn't know.

In short, wtf have you done Capcom?

Gamespot review made me lol.

The Good: Full English voice acting

The Bad: Terrible full English voice acting

Thats sadly pretty accurate and funny. Luminous Arc had as much voice work and it was 10x better

I will get this with PW3 today or tomorrow, i need my MM fix.

just hoping it would be fun, at least ZX fun.

I just don't get why they don't get it. ZX was an OKAY game but it seems they've taken everything from ZX and made it just as bad. It seems the days of fast paced, non linear action platforming Mega Man are over.

ZX had a few cool levels, but the back tracking the map totally ruined it for me. Plus, it felt more run and gun than action platformer.

MAF: does ZXA have more action platforming or did they up the run and gun feel?

The problem is that they killed all the characters, now all we have is children with sailor moon powers.

is that the only problem? Because ZX was exactly that. There was no Zero, no X, they were simply...Biometals

It's not the only problem of course, with ZX, they tried to make it into a Castlevania/Metroid and they failed.

it's nice that they are making changes to the gameplay, but so far, i am not feeling them.

Metroid with Mega Man just does not work at all. The appeal of Mega Man is that I can instantly pick any goddamn level i want in any order I want and get to ass kicking immediately. In ZX, even if you choose a mission and teleport close to where your mission is, you still have to spend 3-5 minuets traveling to your mission location point, and that's if you can find it with that shitty map system that game has.

I liked Mega Man ZX a whole bunch, but this is pretty much garbage.

Vizzys · « **Reply #13 on:** October 26, 2007, 12:52:23 AM »

i tried to warn you all but no one listened!

luminous arc also sucks

how so

Damn, even MAF doesn't like it. I'm afraid to open my copy. What if you play it without judging it as a megaman game? Is it alright then?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #16 on:** October 26, 2007, 01:30:39 AM »

Luminous Arc > FFT PSP fuck you viz!

Ill just put it this way Beezy, its the SMB2 of Mega Man games. Unrecognizable as a Mega Man game with decent mechanics. The difference being that SMB2 was my favorite SMB

That's good enough for me. I'll try it after I finish the first case in Phoenix Wright 3.

ZX sounds like "sex." That's kind of something.
