All right, this girl'd better be playing Zero like a harp right here, because I am NOT prepared to accept Mega Man X as a villain.

  • Yep, option #2 is definitely the direction I'm leaning in.

    Hey megaman, maybe PAT didn't know and you just spoiled him.

  • I would never have believed that X would go bad. He's been the hero of too many games, and we all love him too much!

  • @Pat as an interesting fact, Keiji Inafune wanted X as the villan here saying that all those years of fighting alone caused him to become rough,to the point where he saw that the only solution to save mankind was to exterminate all the reploids, but he and the rest of the team changed her minds at the last minute because they thought fans wouldn't like to see X as a villan,thus creating CopyX

  • I'm disappointed in Keiji Inafune for even wanting to go in that direction, but in the end, he was right... turning X into a villain would have been a staggering betrayal of the fans, in my judgment. I'll actually feel a lot better playing through Zero, now, knowing that my beloved X hasn't been turned to the dark side.

    Hey PAT, you must have been scared at the end of Megaman X4 when X told Zero " Zero I'm serious. What if I become a maverick? You have to take care of me. Promise me, Zero. ". Fortunately for you, in X5, nothing about this happens. Hahaha.

  • Honestly, these games are from an era where story didn't matter a lot. For the most part, you just popped in the cartridge and started shooting stuff. I remember being three stages into Contra before I had ANY idea that I was fighting an alien invasion. But after so many Mega Man X games, it still would've killed me to see X made into a villain. That's like Zelda going on a quest to kill Link, or

    IMO, you can play megaman and megaman X without knowing the story even though the story is interesting. But Megaman Zero 1through 4, it is 1 story and if you don't follow it, I think you're missing an important part. If anyone don't care and just want to play, it's ok too.

  • I'm a writer too, and I appreciate good stories in games. What Mass Effect and Xenoblade did, for example, was amazing. But when I play old-school side-scrolling shooters, I tend to long for the old days when I didn't have to sit through tons of dialogue and cinematics before I could get to the action, which was all I was really there for in the first place. But since this is my first time with

  • X is still in the story, though, and that's when things get interesting...

  • Personally, I would have loved the story twist if X really did turn evil, and I saw someone else give a plausible explanation for how it could have happened. In the ending for X5 where Light erases X's memory, X mentions that he plans to start some sort of utopia (not called Neo Arcadia, but I can't remember what it was called). Without his memories and past experiences, he could have become a
