BlitzBlast posted:It also meant that, if you really wanted to, you could just skip every single mission until the base is invaded the second time. I imagine on runthroughs like that, Ciel and the Resistance are super disappointed in the old robot they dug up, only to just stare in awe as it proceeds to beat back an invasion and fight through Neo Arcadia. I'm pretty sure you can do this in the first game. Just head straight through the door into the next area instead of going to the transserver.

BlitzBlast posted:I can see that working for Tower to Core, but from Shrine to Tower the story scene happens after you transfer back to base. Unless the game lets you skip it, which would actually be pretty cool. I don't remember the scene from Shrine to Tower but I know Tower to Core works (Ceil will automatically give her little speech when you try to walk through the door behind her).

Star Man posted:How broken is Storm Tornado in Maverick Hunter X? Well I'll tell you. Even without it Storm Tornado is basically the Metal Blade of the X series. It tears through most normal enemies in one hit, uses little energy and with the sheer amount of weapon energy drops in this game you pretty much have infinite ammo. Only difference is that unlike the Metal Blade only a few bosses are actually weak to it. Larryb fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Dec 19, 2013 |

AngryRobotsInc posted:It's not required to beat the bosses. The two ways are beat all 8 bosses or rescue 64 Reploids. You can just suicide out of a level after rescuing the Reploids in it. It's also probably the only game in the series where X is the best of the available character options, Zero has strong attacks but for some reason they took away the speed he had in previous games(though his double jump is still useful in parts, making him decent to have as a partner) and Axl doesn't get good until X8.

Shine posted:Metal Gear Solid V includes a Mega Man X boss generator. Though to be fair, Metal Gear and Megaman X have always had simillar naming schemes for their bosses (Vulcan Raven, Revovler Ocelot, Laughing Octopus, etc.). Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional seeing as Kojima and Inufune were apparently friends and there was that whole Boktai tie in in the last 3 Battle Network games.

Now that I've played past the intro stage the gameplay itself isn't that bad, even the whole "dash into enemies to defeat them" thing was easier to get the hang of than I thought (though most minor enemies will go down to the normal buster if you shoot them long enough). The controls can be reconfigured and the voice acting can be turned off (though I didn't think it was that terrible honestly. Not good mind you, but I've certaintly heard worse). For those that have played a bit, which of the 8 stages/bosses is the easiest one to start with?

Mr. Fortitude posted:As awful as Sonic Boom was, at least it didn't hardlock the Wii U like MN9 does and the game has a lot more going on graphically to boot. Lost World was mediocre and Sonic Boom was awful, but MN9 is mediocre and has crippling technical problems on a lot of systems that can make it drat near unplayable. I'm hearing reports of the PSN codes not working, the Steam version randomly deleting your save files and ridiculous load times followed by hard locks of the Wii U version. There's been an update to the Wii U version so it doesn't do that anymore, not sure about the other versions though.

MonsterEnvy posted:I took on Battalion first. He was tough but I beat him. After you beat your first boss I recommend clicking on all the bosses to see which one has advice labeled under it. That means that the boss you beat will help you on that stage and that you got the weakness weapon for boss you are going to select. I did Dynatron first which was probably a mistake as I nearly game overed on her (and that was with my life counter set to 9, which you can change in the options menu) before finally winning on my last life through sheer attrition. From what I've gathered, the weakness chain is as follows: Battalion Seismic Brandish Dynatron Countershade Aviator Pyrogon Cryosphere

Yes, there was an update for it almost immediatly after the game went up on the E-shop that patched that problem out. I'm honestly having fun with it aside from the 30 second load times (that not only come up when loading menus or cutscenes but also every time you die). Though I'm not sure if that particular issue is exclusive to the Wii U version or if they're that long on the other platforms as well.

Andrigaar posted:Wait, is that what the "AxCel Recovery" things do? No, really, this game doesn't explain enough and I have no idea what those things do. Yes, those are full heals though you have to build them up a bit first by absorbing enemies with blue energy (a little blue circle will appear under your life bar when it's full, at which point you can use it either in the pause menu or by pressing the " - " button). Honestly, if they make a sequel (which I wouldn't mind actually) I hope they either tone down the dash mechanic or provide a long range equivalent to it as well like maybe a charged shot or have the special weapons serve the same functionality. The worst example of this is probably during the Avi fight where if he's too far away from you when he starts flashing it's nearly impossible to hit him with the dash without killing yourself in the process.

Andrigaar posted:I started poking around at them and am not sure what the difference in the two AxCels are. I only mention that because the item-bot before the final boss dropped an item that filled my 2nd tank, but not the first tank. Good to know though. As far as I know they're both the same, and good to know thanks but I was thinking more along the lines of when he does the attack where he flies up and down the sides of the screen firing at you (I personally found the best chance to damage/dash into him is when he's flying around with that little drone following him. You can use Shade's weapon to reflect your shots off it and hit him that way, dashing into him when he swoops down). Another change I'd like is for the AxCell Recovers to work more like Sub-Tanks (that is, you could use them for a partial health recovery even if they weren't completely full), rather than having to get them completely full first like is the case here. Either that or make it so dashing into enemies/bosses restores some of your health (it already seems to recharge your weapon energy slightly so why not).

Finally had a chance to try out the other characters, Call is decent at getting around and her barrier comes in handy at times but she kind of sucks in combat as she can only fire one shot at a time and has no means of recovering health other than energy pickups. Ray, while being more of a short-ranged attacker and having the gimmick of her health constantly depleting, is actually pretty fun to play as (she's quick and can absorb Xel just by attacking enemies which makes boss fights a lot more tolerable as you no longer have to stop to dash into them every so often and can just keep up the attack). I also kind of like the hand-drawn stills she has for her cutscenes as well (in fact, they're probably the best looking thing in this game). Can Ray get weapons from the Mighty Numbers like Beck can? And if so, do they function any differently for her? Larryb fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Jun 23, 2016 |

Starting a Ray playthrough now, any ideas on which boss is best for her to start with? Also I'm a bit surprised they didn't have any boss refights in the final level (though that was a good thing in my opinion seeing as some of them were annoying to deal with even with their weaknesses).

Screaming Idiot posted:Yes, but the ones that did have both did them poorly, which is what I am saying. ZX and ZXA have bad voice acting and cutscenes, but they are not the worst the series has to offer. ZX's voice acting is entirely in Japanese and only present in a few short cutscenes. Advent is the only one that has full voice acting throughout (though the Japanese version of the original had this too but in the American version it was all cut out aside from the anime cutscenes and voice clips during boss battles and when switching forms).

BlitzBlast posted:Star Force 1 is an incredibly mediocre game. The best thing you can say about it is that it has the best writing in the trilogy, which is not exactly a very high bar to clear. I'm not sure any way exists for people who don't live in Japan to play the cellphone Battle Network games (unless some sort of emulation exists, I haven't been able to find anything), never heard of there being one for the Star Force series though. To Operate Shooting Star's credit it did improve on a few things from the original BN1 (Chips you can't use are grayed out on the custom screen after selecting one, you can run from battles at any time by pressing the L button like you could in BN2 onward, and most importantly, they give you a map of your currrent area on the bottom screen with important locations marked so you're not blindly going through Internet Areas that all look the same). Kind of a pity it wasn't released here as otherwise I would pretty much consider it the definitive version of the first Battle Network game.

The fully charged rolling shield is ridiculously good in that game because you can switch weapons while in the shield. Yeah, I typically just activate the charged Rolling Sheild at the start of the stage, then use Storm Tornado to obliterate everything in the way (switching to Fire Wave to get rid of the mole tanks faster). As long as you play it this way nothing should be able to touch you (though I think you still need to have 4 full Sub Tanks before the capsule will appear).
