I really like how they made it so the final boss was just completely not designed for the other playable character at all. Somehow despite being a life long Mega Man fan I only now am finishing this one. It's just okay. I keep getting reminded why I am not fond of the X series despite everything. It does both a lot of interesting things and yet plays it so so so safe. Enemy variation is super lacking, boss fights are alright but consistently feel a little too safe in design with fairly simple attacks outside of whatever crack they were smoking when they were making Magma Dragoon. Fights feel like they drag on just a bit too long. I wanted to like X4 as much as everyone else does but really struggle to. It has fun level design, but yet rarely do I feel like it does anything special or memorable with it. Cyber Peacock was a close exception with the time trials but the way the time trials are set up feel like intentionally annoying unless you have the right weapon to get rid of the slow moving yellow blob enemies sections areas instead of something that prioritizes speed by design. They made a speedrunner stage that is anti speedrunner? Really interesting choice. A lot of small moments in level design that just feel odd, constant reminders why the X series just never feels like it is for me. Disappointing. Best stage imo: Web Spider. Burning through trees with Zero's flame sword upgrade is so good. For similar reasons Frost Walrus, especially with his split paths and fun movement through the stage came as close second for me. Might be first depending on when you ask me. Worst stage imo: Final Weapon Stage 1: Iconic fights that outside of their cool plot moments are pretty lame, especially the second fight in this stage. The weirdly precise paths you can take through this stage were extremely brutal and makes it if you get a game over in the second act feel particually punishing when learning the second fight. May need to replay the game as X just to see if the fights…
magma dragoon from mega man x4. if you dont know what he looks like already just imagine a big scary red dragon guy who for some reason can throw out every shoto move in the book
When the phrase “in me” is uttered within the context of “true believer in me,” it transcends the mere spatial preposition that suggests physical containment and instead enters a metaphysical, ontological space where the me becomes less a pronoun and more an entire philosophical construct, a vessel not just of identity but of idealism, vulnerability, and infinite potential.
Before we start here with Chapter Two, let me make this clear. Not everything that is necessary will sparkle or stand out. It is possible to get lost here for quite some time before you finally figure out what is going on. Remember - I tear my hair out so you don't have to.
Look man you are going to have to pay me to write alt text for this one. Sorry blind people
