@Thread: Classic Rockman, X, and Zero need to be put down. These legacy characters have done more damage to their own franchise than most people realize, and it's keeping it from moving forward. Because they're all still around, the base is crazy broken rather than evolving as it should have been. When the era of X and Zero is over, and when they stop over-relying on Classic, the franchise will finally be able to move forward, and find a fanbase that works for it.
X and Zero were put down a hell of a long time ago.
I refer to the characters, not the games.

Classic Megs, X, and Zero are the most common reps for the franchise, and I think they're over-relied upon.
Bafflingly, those who have the next most representation are Trigger and Tronne Bonne, even though Dash didn't do that well. Guess good character design trumps sales.
But apart from those characters, who gets representation? Do you ever see Aile or Gray? Leviathan or Surbaru? Have they moved to try and put those games behind them and give us something new?

The last thing that got canceled? X game. Before that? X game. Before that? Legends game. Last game to be released? Classic. That's where I'm coming from. The franchise tends to focus on those three characters, and specifically the iterations from the classic and X series style. And I'll be honest - I don't like classic. And I don't like the artstyle from it and X. I prefer the styles from Zero and ZX, and the Network Timeline.

How was Mega Man Universe an X game

You don't see ZX or SF characters because the series weren't that popular and non-MM fans would have no idea who the [radio edit] they are

You're doing the equivalent of complaining that Wolverine or Hulk or Captain America are in MvC and not your favorite obscure Marvel character

Or, I guess more relevant to the times, you're basically saying "why is Mario a playable character in Smash Bros and not Geno"

Time for another unpopular opinion (I think? It doesn't help that the game's not that popular to begin with).

Flyff is by far the best free MMO around. I had a really good time with it back in 2006. I have no idea what it's like nowadays though. I could also spend all day on it just flying everywhere >_>

So, would you say that my opinions are -gasp-, dare I say it... Unpopular?

Nah, I'd say more like a bit unusual. I don't think most people who have played megaman games have ever cared for or wanted to play as anyone else besides Megaman or Zero. Not that much at least. I think the ZX games where good for that they were, and added a lot of unique stuff without losing their roots. But Capcom just stopped making quality MM games and then stopped making them all together. It has nothing to do with you playing as Megaman or Zero every time.

Geno reminds me, Super Mario RPG is not really an interesting or fun game, the only Mario RPG that isn't better than it is Partners in Time

"Linear" isn't a bad thing. Too many choices in a game's story can restrict the game from being able to tell a good story.
I'd rather have one, good, well-thought-out story than 50 crap ones.

I agree with this, although I would substitute Superstar Saga for PiT in this case. I remember being very disappointed with SMRPG when I finally got around to playing it in '05. A good game to speedrun on a snowy day, though.

How can you say it's the best if you haven't played it in eight years?

So, would you say that the problem is in the fanbase, that they can't get over Classic, X, and Zero as characters?

Giraffes are adorable.

Not sure how unpopular this is but I could never get much into Jak 2 and 3. I liked the first game, I rented the second and according to a walkthrough I read I am nearing the end and I only stuck with it that long to try to finish before the rent period is up, and I do own the third game and I am probably in the later middle part of it but I pop in the disk only a few times every year to continue from where I left off. I can't seem to have a long session with it. Ratchet and Clank series does the guns+platforming better.

I haven't played any free MMO in about that long, so I can still say that it's the best that I've played.

Since I'm currently playing through it with my brother, it reminded me: Chrono Cross would be better than Trigger with a little touching up. Fix up the framerate, balance the gameplay a bit more, fix up the storytelling issues near the end, and maybe a couple other things. I would arguably say it *is* better than Trigger even if they just fixed the storytelling problems and nothing else.

Katawa Shoujo is the worst video game of all time.

Saturos: Just so you know, Catman, nudity and sex scenes are against Zetaboards Terms of Use as well. So though it's the whole game, it's against the rules to post it. I know it's just a very small part, but rules are rules.

I assume so, considering the first screenshot of that is of the options menu with "disable adult scenes" right there.

I just clicked through that -- are you actually reading it? Otherwise, like...
>saying a visual novel is bad
>not actually reading it
pls go

Also, nudity/sex is against Zetaboards Terms of Use, so I had to delete your video. Just be aware of that rule in the future, okay?

Unfortunately not, Zetaboards is pretty strict on the matter. I think you can just link your Youtube account, though. But watch out, since that's against Youtube ToU as well.
