Anyway I don't think the Artstyle looks ugly. It has a simple appeal to it. It could look nicer for sure, but the style does not look bad enough to me to complain about.

Like video evidence. I saw some footage from E3. He did not make that many sounds in them. Some grunts and stuff every once in a while, but no worse then what we get from Mario in all games since 64.

Also I watched some other footage. (The English voice acting might as well add.) Beck only added a hup every 3rd jump or so. So more recent stuff may have made even less noise from him when he is on his own.

Recent impressions from press are saying it's really fun as well, given that it's out in a little more then a month so I am looking forward to it given that the positive feelings by actual players.

See, this is why I was against having voice acting in the game.

As mentioned it was not that bad. Also as mentioned the version I saw had much less jumping noise.

Also I really like the voice acting. I like when a game has a story and the fact that the game now has voice acting means that you won't have to take your attention off the screen to look at the subtitles while playing like you had to during the beta.

For actual content posting, voice acting is perfectly fine so long as it is never ever tied to an action that is not done more then once a half hour (or has enough variations you wont hear the same line twice half an hour.

I have finally gotten around to getting ZX Advent and I think I will pick the boy character because I want the canonical hero of ZX to have been the girl because she was cooler.

At this point I'm pretty much immune to this kind of thing since so many platformers have done MM ZX games, MM Powered Up, countless Mario, Yoshi and Sonics... I think Gunvolt did it to.

While Aile is pretty great, you're going to be missing out on a lot of booty by not choosing Ashe.

Yeah, I like Advent well enough but they really should have picked a better euphemism for treasure than "booty" as it made for some awkward lines.

Nope.

They were largely the same in ZX - Aile had a slightly longer dash and slightly faster crawl speed (for the two times crawling was necessary) and Vent had less recoil, but in ZXA all charge shots between the biometal transformations (A, F, H, P, L, and ZX) are radically different.

"So, we need to give them funding for the prologue, after which they say they will definitely also produce a longer and more substantial game out of... somewhere?"

Even people who weren't following the news probably saw the complete game at 79 bux and thought "What the gently caress?"

Yeah, the idea that it's built upon getting outside funding they haven't secured yet is not exactly confidence-boosting.

I didn't like the Battle Network games, but Megaman Zero/ZX/ZXA has some of the fastest-paced gameplay in the franchise and is definitely worth your time and money. Do yourself a favor and try them out, I don't think you'll be disappointed,

I would say to skip Zero 1 and play the rest. Zero 1 was a case of them having a bunch of ideas, and not all of them really being that great (grinding for charge shots), meanwhile Zero 2-4 are all pretty great.

As for Battle Network, 2,3, and 6 are considered the best of the lot. I think 2 and 6 are better than 3 too, FWIW.

I was under the impression that the Zero/BN games were kind of story-heavy, how feasible is it to therefore jump straight into the sequels.

Generally very easy. Both recap the plots and basically the only important things regularly referenced are in the first game and are:

Zero
Zero woke up and discovered that the world was post-apocalyptic and being ruled by X. He fought X. Turned out it was a copy. Now Zero is stuck cleaning up messes,

MMBN

Mega Man.exe is Lan's twin brother Hub who was digitized to save his life when he died of a heart condition as an infant. As such they have ~special powers~ nobody else does.

I really don't like jumping straight into sequels anyways. Even disregarding story, you don't get as good of an understanding of the gameplay changes if you haven't played the original. You're likely to enjoy Zero 2 more with the context of having played Zero beforehand. On the other side of the same coin, if you decide to go back to Zero after playing Zero 2, you might end up enjoying it a lot less.

Just got Rockman EXE WS in the mail yesterday. It plays like a Mega Man Network Transmission but less text and you just jump from stage to stage with no hub world. Its kind of fun since it plays like the first Mega Mans, jump, shoot, and slide. If anyone is interested there is a translation patch that does excited. Now I just need to get the Mega Man and Bass on the WonderSwan.
