Are the MegaMan Zero games good?

yeh

>>383731839
Yes

The first is a little shaky in terms of game play but it's worth sticking it out for the other games. The aesthetic actually DOES grow on you as well, I know it turns some people off initially

>>383731839
Why does zero look like a wide eyed fish?

>>383731839
They have that obnoxious ranking system that hurts you if you don't finish the level quickly enough

>>383731839
Some people swear by them while others hate them for a few reasons. They're fairly difficult with decent soundtracks. The art style is hit or miss.

I enjoy them but 2 can eat a bag of dicks. I think the art is meh and the cyber elf system punishes you for upgrading, but the swordplay is pretty good.

Give them a shot and see if you like them.

>>383732196
Unless you're fucking terrible you'll S or at least A most stages with ease.

>>383731839
Yes

Zero 3 is one of my favorite GBA games of all time.

>>383731839
1, 2 and 3 are good. 4 is trash.

The games have fucked up difficulty balance though. The first couple of levels you play will be BY FAR the hardest part of each game. After you start getting upgrades the games become a total joke. They should have started you out with more base health but made upgrades much smaller. In their current state it's easy to see why people get turned away by the games.

Elpizo was pretty easy, as was Weil

>>383733305
>and then the final boss comes and you're fucked, at least in Zero 1 and Zero 3
Well no, because you have so much health and so many sub-tanks that it's impossible to die unless you have a brain tumor.

>>383733760
I was talking about no health cyber-elves, or at least minimal.
The first one was particularly brutal
I play with minimal health upgrades as to not make the game too easy

>>383731839
Yes, the Megaman Zero games are EXTREMELY GOOD. Enjoy my opinions:

>1 is worth restarting, over and over and over again until you figure everything out just right. It's not that the game is flawed, it's that you have to be better for it.

>2 was the hardest game I ever played as a kid. It's not really a super hard game, but it literally molested me. Would recommend to start with if you want to get pissed off.

>3 is one of those games that was so good and I played so much, it got into my blood. I forgot about Z3, played it constantly a decade ago, but it still gives me a huge smile. If you want to piss off the arrogant weeb trash that comes with liking megaman games, start with Z3

>Z4 is basically a new game with a lot of Zero mechanics left in to shorten development time. It's not bad, and they do some pretty fun stuff, but it definitely feels like the 4th entry in an action adventure series, if you get my meaning. Lacks oomph. Also Zero dies at the end. hahahaha

playing the megaman zero games in order from beginning to end is one of the wildest rides you can have in vidya

tl;dr yes

I thought Zero was a badass? How do you go from badass to diaper wearing loli

>>383732263
>S

Not really unless you barely get hit

>A

True, you'll always most likely get an a unless you die and retry

They're the best Megaman games.

Sort of relevant to the thread, but are ZX and ZXA worth playing as well?

>>383734734
No.

>>383734734

ZX's map is a mess.

ZXA is better about it but then most of the transformations are completely worthless outside of sections where their use is mandatory.

>>383734734
Absolutely, very high quality games with good expert modes. I like them more than the Zero games because of more detailed level design and Model H desu

>>383734734
If you like the aesthetic and gameplay of the zero series then ZX is definitely worth checking out. I would say that it's intentially not as hardcore difficult as the Zero games, but playing on Hard mode fixes this.

Advent is also pretty good.

>>383734734
Worth trying. I couldn't get into the ZX series at all. The open world quests killed it for me

Probably the best Megaman games I've played.

Zero games are really something special, it's not all Inti Creates working their magic in designing the game either; they manage to make the world in Zero pretty dramatic and gripping. You're certainly given enough motivation to slap Copy X on his smug ass.

>>383734060
I never played 2, is it worth playing these again on an emulator with a gamepad or should I just try to find a copy of 2 and play them again on my DS?

>>383736821
Why would you not emulate them? It's free and easier than buying a copy.

>>383736821
It has lots of fun bullshit.
The final area will make you want to smash something, apart from the final boss being a weaker version of 1's

>>383734734
yes. they are basically continuations of the Zero series gameplay.

ZX in particular is really good, ZXA is really hit or miss in all respects. Not bad, just... hit or miss.

2's chain whip always drove me insane. crossing pits with it always felt finicky.

>>383738407
id explain it, but its a bit of a mouthful

>>383734734
I liked them quite a bit.
The tone from the zero series is gone, making it feel goofy and silly, but the gameplay is enjoyable.

The voice acting if fucking abysmal though.

>>383736483
I get it now

>>383738956
I dont know why ZXA felt the need to do that.

and they got X7's VA's to boot.

Grey is voiced by X7's X, though on the bright side, at least theres some continuity, because im pretty sure Model Z is voiced by X7's Zero VA

ZX is really good.

I haven't played the Zero series in years, but that's probably next. I remember them being kinda bullshit in terms of challenge at certain points. I think they got progressively easier as they went to the point where they were too easy by Zero 4 though.

Get the MMZero Collection, it's a nice compilation that lets you map controls to the Y and X buttons unlike playing through the DS' GBA cart slot would, and it also updates sound quality slightly, runs the games without any slowdown like they sometimes had on GBA and there's also a couple extras like the e-reader bonuses for Zero 3.

>>383747931
no it wasnt done. with the master System offline, there was an older system coming back online on terra, something that predated the master system and had something to do with the reaverbots iirc

Someone said it in an earlier thread.

MMZ is basically Megaman X with worse level design but better gameplay.

>>383742654
>Seriously using the shield

Why in the FUCK would you ever do that?

ZX has plenty of good shit but first you need to navigate the map from hell to find a burning building, then you need to talk to npcs to convince them to leave a burning building. Its a longer shittier version of the stage where you fight Croft in Zero 4.

2, maybe 3. It pretty much has to do with the auxiliary "weapons".

The Buster, Sword, and Shield all have defined combat roles (Long range low damage, short range high damage, defense). The level and enemy design doesn't have much use for other types of combat weapons (traps, damage over time, etc.), since Zero's mainstays cover all the bases very well.

So the extra weapons have to do something to enhance the gameplay.

2 did this very, very well. The extra weapon was a grappling hook with it's only limitation being how far it could stretch, allowing you to zip along levels to your heart's content and allowed for a lot of aerial platforming that the other games sorely lacked.

3 did this pretty well. The extra weapon was a pogo stick, but it could only be used to great effect when fully charged, limiting frequent application of it. Still, it could be used for very fast paced platforming since it effectively doubled or tripled your jump height.

4 did away with the shield and decided to let you take weapons from enemies. While a nice novelty, Zero's combat essentials were covered pretty hard by his Buster and Sword already, and it just meant there was no weapon based platforming enhancement.

1 had a poking stick that was slightly longer than the sword but you had far worse mobility and significantly less damage, leading almost no one to use it.

>>383751035
Sigma had a tendancy to get HUGE and have giant ass energy weapons, so non seraph Copy-X would probably have a hard time anyways.

>Did humanity lost most of their technology during the Marverick war?

Yes?

Did you not pay any attention to the story?

90% of all reploids and 60% of all humans were fucking eradicated during the Elf Wars. They lost entire civilizations.

You also have to remember that very literally every machine other than X, Zero, and Omega were based off of X, and that can limit the technological advancements when everything is working off the exact same base (which was nearly 300 years old).

>>383751409
And that's almost immediately after the Maverick wars, which resulted in the loss of I think 80% of all humans.
Dr.Light was a fucking dick.

>>383751409
I'm pretty sure that's only the reploids, not the mechaniloids.

>>383751035
Energy Crisis and like 75% of the population (robot and human) had been wiped out. It's no surprise that the strongest robots in the Zero series were built before the Zero series started.

Doesn't Zero have a bullshit ranking system that takes your average score from each level to determine if you get the upgrade from that level? So if you do dogshit once you'll pretty much never get any upgraded the rest of the playthrough?

>>383731996

The Triple Rod allowed you to bounce off enemies if you held it below Zero in the air. There were a couple Cyber Elf containers throughout the stages that were reachable only by doing that.
It was also a dope-ass weapon in other respects too, although the Z-saber tended to make mincemeat out of things faster than anything else in all the games.

>>383752090
Those EX moves made it all worth it for me when I first played the Zero games. Getting the blade beam, downspike and uppercut sword abilities made me feel like a complete badass.

Grabbing model OX in the ZX game was a trip through memory lane, my favourite armor out of both games hands-down, both in how it plays and how you obtain it.

Pick the easiest levels first, and use high initial ranks to coast through the rest of the game. If you play intelligently it serves as a very convenient safety net, especially for S ranks or hard mode, and the first two games are the only ones that should give you much trouble anyway.

ZX has flaws, especially the map system, but is fantastic gameplay-wise and quite challenging on expert. Advent fixes most of the flaws from ZX and adds some new stuff, but it's pretty easy by comparison.

I've only played Mega Man 1-6, do these all play similarly? I was hoping for an X Legacy collection instead of the rest of the Mega Man games, but whatever.

>>383753163
The core gameplay is great and similar to Zero, but most new ideas have hit or miss execution. The lack of a ranking system is a minus IMO.

>>383753948
It does have the boss weakness system which is quite neat. I do agree that not having scoring was a step down though.

>>383753948
Yo, hol up

Isn't the ranking system dependent on how well you get Biometals?

An S rank is a fully complete Biometal, basically. It requires finishing the level fast and also completing the boss perfectly.

>>383753608
Also, fight whoever gives you Model H first. It's amazing.

>>383753771
I don't recall anything being that tough on Expert outside of Chronoforce, maybe? I think Serpent, Omega, and getting an L4 Fistleo gave me more trouble than anything in Advent, but I haven't played them in a while. They might be even without the extreme outliers from the first game.

Sigma vs 4 guardians and CP-X(They are Marverick hunters after all).
Who will triumph.

>>383754175
There's boss victory levels which depend on how often you attack their weak points during combat. Hitting the weak points lowers your rank and gives you a worse biometal but makes the fights easier. Didn't have anything to do with how you finish levels.

>>383753948

It's probably also worth mentioning that the weak points don't actually take increased damage, the fights are only easier in the sense that avoiding their weak points can be a royal pain in the ass.

And Advent does away with the rankings, instead introducing a set of three medals per boss which are earned for defeating them in a unique manner. I don't think they did anything other than rewarding you with Model a for getting them all, though?

X1, X2 and X4 are pretty great.
>>383754175
Yeah but taking damage or playing to slowly aren't taken into account. Also sometimes you have to wait your turn to avoid hitting the weakpoint which isn't too fun.

Mighty Gunvolt burst seems cool, but gunvolt itself strays too far away from what most want outa megaman style games, and obviously MN9 was a joke. Also nobody wanted Blaster Master back.

Crapcom needs to hire them for a new updated MM game. It's clear they still care at least a little since MM Legacy 2 is a thing.

>>383754676
>they encourage skillful play with clear objective success metrics and rewards.
A scoring system does the same thing without judging the player.

>>383753864
Mega Man X is pretty much classic Mega Man gameplay, but you can walljump (repeatedly, to climb walls) and the slide is replaced by the dash (and unlike with the slide, jumping while dashing retains the momentum boost, allowing you to make long jumps and move around quickly. Also dash jumping out of wall jumps yeah). These additions make the gameplay surprisingly different, though. Zero series ditches some franchise conventions like copying boss weapons, and there's more focus on close combat with the saber rather than shooting with a buster. I'm sure you'll enjoy them. The X series had some real stinkers in it as it went on, though.

>>383731839
I'm playing the first one right now blind. All I have to say I'm game overing way more than I expected.

>>383755278
It doesn't provide clear metrics for success in the same way rank does, though. Getting the highest rank is a nice milestone to go for, while scoring is only meaningful in how it compares to other players. No problem with games judging the player anyway.

>>383754803
But they do take increased damage. If you attack Leganchor on his huge turbines you can finish him off with just a couple hits. I think it takes four charges of model X double busters to kill him, he barely gets an attack off.

>>383755838
It isn't unless you're in the very top % of players. Going from 86 to 82 means nothing unless it's someone you know or have been following for a while. Rank also gives the joy of scoring to people who don't care about competition, because then it isn't about competing with others but simply beating another challenge the game presents.

>Why Zero mocking him all of a sudden?

There's actually a VERY good reason for this. I loved the way they subtly displayed Zero's cockiness here.

Rainbow Devil is a massive throwback to Yellow Devil, as we all know well. In fact, Rainbow Devil's origin is "unknown", but it's known that it's derived from (and is itself) ancient data.

What's special about Yellow Devil? http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Yellow_Devil

Well, Yellow Devil was the first combat robot created entirely by Dr. Wily.

Now, who was the last combat robot created entirely by Dr. Wily? Zero.

Zero mocking Rainbow Devil was essentially Zero mocking Dr. Wily's first efforts into creating a combat robot. It displays Zero's confidence and growth over Wily's original creations, Wily's growth as a creator, and that the competitive streak that Wily's creations had still lives on in Zero (as we saw with Bass thinking he's was Wily's best creation, and a few others).

Literally this >>383759089. If you needed to strictly memorize the stage just to survive you'd have a point, the point of a ranking system like that is to encourage replayability, raising the stakes and greatly extending the life of the game for those who care. In my experience an A rank is not really hard to get on most stages even coming back to the games years later with my shit memory. S is the challenge you better be ready to soft reset/state load the start of the stage for.

That's the artist for Zero 4, or at least the boss designs; I think Nakayama still did some of the promotional art. You can tell the designs look a bit different from the reploids in the first three games. I always thought the Zero 4 reploids look a bit more like X-series mavericks.

Don't be mean to my Ciel bros, anon.

>>383763883
Yeah >>383763625 was one of those fanarts.

>>383762603
Copen's definitely the more fitting playstyle. Not the Gunvolt's style is awful, but it isn't as engaging.

Trying to play Zero Collection on 3ds hurts my hands.

Probably someone's way of linking Zero to ZX.

You are a wonderful and fantastic individual.

Copen's is really the only good part about it. Gunvolt's is too stop and go and messes with the game's flow a bit too much.

I wish someone draw Priestess (pic related) in Ciek's clothes. Both have too much in common.

I would say 4 only because of the zero knuckle.

I like to think she found it and made Model Z from it

We've already discussed the merits of the games, the uses of each weapons, touched upon level design, and the music.

The fuck have YOU brought to the thread other than whining?

>>383765132
Well, she had to get the data to create biometal Z from somewhere.

>>383758970
Huh...thats pretty interesting, never thought of it like that before even though I found it strange for him to say anything when i saw that scene as a kid

>>383760689
Its also the reason why you have to level weapons again. Zero stays with the resistance after Z2, which allows for him to obtain regular maintenance with his weapons. Gameplay-story integration like that is good shit and I wouda never expected it from megaman of all things

>>383765048
Until fucking gaiafags like you showed up, NO boards were blue and you'd be banned for suggesting not fapping

Stop fucking being underage and get used to seeing a tit or two on this board, since you've obviously never seen one in real life

So was Wiel and look how that shit turned out. I bet there is a Model C out there that, when equiped, makes you lust for Zero.
