@Tsukento:
To be fair, Mega Man X has sucked since X5 (especially with the shift to 3D) and dragging the damn story on, even after Zero died to prevent further chaos from ensuing, by making the ZX series was just about borderline retarded.
What was flat out retarded was making the Starforce series; a spin-off OF A SPIN-OFF! The Battle Network series ended for a reason. The quality dragged down as the series progressed.
As for Legends…well, no one really bought them. :(
Well thats a matter of opinion. I'd agree that X6 did lots of stupid things and was convoluted in plot and X7 was buggy as hell and downright annoying, but X8 is a fantastic game. Good story, good bosses, good gameplay.
The Zero series was all great games, except a few annoyances in Z3. The main thing I want is an actual game to bridge between Classic and X series (aka the likely cataclysm) and another that comprises of the Elf Wars, because I'm confused by a lot of that.
I loved all the Battle Networks, but was glad they ended off. Star Force doesn't look interesting to me.
ZX has good games, but they're completely forgetable.
