I think if I ever get really good at X3 I may be interested in doing a "hardest boss order possible" challenge. Call me a crazy!
X2 is the easiest to pull this off in. If you're very careful on timing your hardest bosses in this game will be Magna Centipede and Bubble Crab. When you get their weapon one of the X-Hunters should actually be insanely easy, but their "paths" will be entirely difficult to map out because you will no choice other than to fight the first one at Wheel Gator, and without Wheel Gator's weakness it becomes an issue I mentioned from X3 -- no weakness, low stats. He's an engaging boss without his weakness and dying is - indeed- a game restart.
X3 isn't entirely impossible either. However you will be hard set on the idea that you can't die against Volt Catfish and Neon Tiger. Those are just two of the trickier bosses to face.
I don't even know what I'm saying, I feel like determining "hardest" bosses out of these hardest bosses is kind of fruitless.
And X4 was different. Zero was "Non-American Mode." That shit was way too difficult to begin with.

the thing of it is, i totally respect your opinion but you cannot make personal challenges with yourself on playing the game. it's not entirely on how the game emphasizes how well or how shitty you play.
MMX1 was what it was and I'm sure Capcom was well aware the game was too easy, but mix in playing the game without dying or getting hit and suddenly the challenge is anted up entirely. Let's throw that Megaman X3's way. Imagine not dying and playing this consequential pattern - you beat the game with the easiest path while 100%ing it without dying. I'm not going to lie, screwing up this kind of run makes you really want to kill yourself.
I use to think Megaman X2 was plenty difficult already but somehow it has become easier over time. But X3 hasn't changed in the slightest. In fact, I'd say that Capcom totally fucked up the last fight in the game AND managed to make pointless threats in the levels. Did you know you can't refill your weapon tanks (the ice weapon) in this stage? Not ONE weapon tank drop. Plenty of useless energy, but no weapon power. Great.
The levels might be bigger, but they're kind of empty and to make up for it they make the game more interesting by making you explore. It's not really about exploration. This isn't Castlevania. And that element has long existed in a lot of other MMs previously but in this, it's like they force you to understand that nothing is easily accomplished in this. Even the helmet upgrade you mentioned - I have no idea off the top of my head where on earth that fucking thing is.
Speaking of which let me talk about this entire thing about the upgrades because I never mentioned it. The upgrades are all over the place, and the only non-confusing one to find is the leg upgrade which is already kind of a pain in the ass to reach.
The game doesn't just hand you out an upgrade like in X1, but instead relies on stage rotations just to get an upgrade that you should technically be able to get by stage 3. And it doesn't always have to make the game easier, the bosses are already difficult. But my problems with the game rests there - the game is well designed (visually) but the mechanics are totally thrown out of proportion and go from a nice dumb 1 hour game to an overly long 1 1/2 hour+ game of frustration and lost hope.
And I'm sorry but my explanation about how there's basically 3 semi-bosses in 1 stage is exactly the problem that exists in this game. It's one thing to fight Bit (who isn't too difficult if you figure out the pattern) but it's another to have to deal with a bad checkpoint placement in between a semi-boss and the last boss of the stage. I just don't think they ironed out the gameplay mechanics in this and instead encouraged the difficulty curve to be raised three fold.
At 9/10/14 03:01 AM, Jojo55 wrote: Why do you think X3 sucks? You're talking about the Super NES version, right? I thought it was better than X2. X2 just felt like an expansion pack for X1 that wasn't as good, while X3 felt like they really put more effort into it. There's more power ups, the stages are longer and feel more inspired, the music & graphics are on par with the last 2 games, there's optional bosses which amplify the insane "replay value", and to top it all off, it's way more challenging. And oh yeah, you can play as Zero!…a little.
X2 is the nice go between between X1 and X3. I am a forgiving guy, I think X2 is actually not bad at all and it's more fast paced than either game by a long shot. X3 is empty. Where there's filler, it's nonsense. And where there's "stage changes" it's there, but less dramatic compared to X1 (and actually there, instead of X2 not changing at all).
I made two reviews of this game. It's true that it pushed its technical limitations, and while you think "more power ups" that's not 100% true. The addition of the walk armors for instance are only crucial and needed for getting more walk armors, one upgrade, and the "Gold" chip. The graphics are great. The music isn't bad. But the fact is, there aren't quite "optional" bosses like the 'consequence' optional boss thing in Megaman X2. They're mandatory and rushed and appear way too early.
Seriously. It's not even "challenging" because it's straight up imposisible. Bit is not easy to avoid in X3 because he can't really be avoided. When you think about it, if you went Blizzard Buffalo -> Toxic Seahorse -> Drill Rhino (or whatever) Bit will appear at the technical checkpoint, THEN you have to fight Drill Rhino's sub boss, and don't die until right before you face him. 3 semibosses in 1 level? I don't know if this game was ever made for any casual fans of the series.
And that's a direct challenge, I will listen to your Let's Play Megaman X3, but I want people that have never played it before to give it a shot. And you will know exactly why this game becomes total bullshit (when it had tons of potential anyway).

lmao, Mortal Kombat Advance is such a load of bullshit. I was watching gameplay vids, Scorpion is just not fair whatsoever because of his attack. Even the TAS looks like it makes no sense.
Also, Maverick Hunter X has an "Easy" mode which is Normal, but the odd thing is that Normal in MH-X is actually kind of more difficult. Weapons are nerfed in damage, and defense is higher for both X and bosses. Vile's hard mode is kind of a bragging right should you actually manage to beat it though.

Trying to slap some sort of cheap comparisons and flimsy justifications isn't going to work, especially when I take it that you either didn't play them, or you are taking the words of gaming hipsters and idiot reviewers to heart and believe in something that really isn't there. Basically, you're way upstream without a paddle at this point.
Ah - ah - ah, watch your labels buddy. Before kids started making review videos, before Egoraptor even really had a reputation, BEFORE HD WAS EVEN A THING - I was reviewing games long before these bullshit aristocrat reviewers hit the scene and I was only 15 years old. A "so what?" response is an easy go-to just to defend the WiiU. So what? It has the same software as before with more integrated shit that doesn't matter. So what? The previous model outsold PS3s and Xbox 360s. So what? The virtual console was a thing before classic games were ever established by Sony or Microsoft. So what? Sony and Microsoft circlejerk eachother for the reason I will pick apart below.
You know everything that I JUST said was totally correct and you also ignored the fact I corrected your mistake by explaining Assassin's Creed 3 & 4 are both on the Wii U - in fact, they're on all consoles and yet not on the original Wii because obviously the hardware was probably too outdated. But the Wii U isn't build for that kind of thing.
Limitations in hardware are always visualized to be bad. That's a really dumb way at looking at it, because it's the fact game publishers take little time to optimize the game by either first producing the game for the PS3/4 or Xbox consoles and then there's glitches and problems on the other console it wasn't originally designed for.
If limitations in hardware is such a concern for you and you're all for defending such an inane idea, I really hope you have an Xbox 360 and 4 games 10 years down the road to compare to my Super Nintendo and my random chosen 4 games. I can bet you $100 that your Xbox will either not work, or one of your games will be scratched. My shitty 16 bit technology will trump in the end. Face.
I dislike when people really defend Microsoft or Sony for the new stuff because that's content provided by a third party that obviously ISN'T a Microsoft/Sony company.Like that honestly makes much of a difference, if at all.
It does. It says a lot about the publisher. They instead more or less rely on the originality of their third party producers to create products on their platform. This does create competition, but Sony and Microsoft are partners in bed when they are apparently supposed to be competitors, and Nintendo is that lonely chick nobody calls because she's too busy doing her own thing. My argument is simply that. While people are off in debate over these 2 consoles, you might as well stick to the Wii even if it's not the best one out there.
They're not trying to captivate you to play THEIR games AND their console. They're trying to basically make you buy extra things to get the most out of your console.They have exclusives you know. Unlike Nintendo, they aren't going to be completely reliant or even moderately reliant on first party titles, which is a massive advantage to them simply because gamers won't get locked out of playing a certain third party title if they choose one console or another. First party titles today are a lot like car parts, they have some exclusive parts designed in-house, but now there are tons of other after market parts that are just as good, if not better.
Really now? It seems like there's actually -no- honest effort by the platform companies to even put their own content out. Once again they RELY on external publishers. Go look at the numbers. Wii outsold Microsoft AND Sony's total titles. That's "AND." Numbers don't lie.
Exclusives are incentives to buy a console, yes... unfortunately Microsoft and Sony cater only to so many - mostly M titles and young adults, but this right here is a signifier of a weak executive decision. You can be mad about it all you want, until the cows come home and Rick Grimes turns into a zombie. The fact remains that Nintendo just specializes in gaming, Sony and Microsoft just know what some gamers expect.
Nintendo was providing the service for you all along and all you had to do was buy the peripherals despite how shitty they were sometimes.Now I know that you are really up a creek. You don't need peripherals anymore because of how gaming has advanced over the years and the changing tastes and demographic of gamers, especially when you're only going to use them a few times, if at all.
This is still way off too. Do yourself a favor. Go look up how many copies of Guitar Hero 2, 3, World Tour, and Rock Band sold. These all come with peripherals and surprisingly, this game sold maybe 20-30 million copies across the entire gaming platforming board. This is the exact kind of thing I'm talking about. Nintendo just so happened to implement their controller accessories more wisely.
The only thing Microsoft and Sony could ever have a say was in what type of controller connected. When you think about it, they're being absolutely mundane and using outdated thinking to change up interaction while playing a game.
So really, up a creek? Numbers don't lie, I'd be happy to supply you the information that allows my "insane thoughtform" to casually speak its mind.
For the record I'm not a fan of the Wii or WiiU, so let me finish off this post.
Do yourself a favor, update your computer for $100 a year, buy the Nintendo console if you want to play console games and use netflix elsewhere, 'cause you're just getting cheated out of content you pay way more for on the Xbox One or PS4. Argument done.*buzzer sounds* wrong. You can get Netflix on any console and do just about everything else on the Xbox One/PS4 that you can do on a Wii U or on a PC.
Haha, is that the best you've got, kid?
You are either a Nintendo fanboy, or you are getting distracted by all of the idiots who use the empty excuse of "Wii U having games while the others don't" when the reality is a lot more complicated.
Basically you kind of skimmed my response. I insist on Nintendo just for console titles, you're not missing much by not owning a Sony/Microsoft product (realistically). If you're wild about console games, get them all, there's nothing wrong in being a consexual. But the issue is you're either a PC gamer or a console gamer unless you have cash to spend. I know you might be butthurt about the concept of the WiiU being something made for various other reasons but I'm also not telling people to go out and go buy one. I'm telling the facts like it is.
Now me personally, I own an Xbox 360... but I ain't gonna defend that thing very much. Very inconvenient. No longer simple. That's what you get if you go Microsoft. Sony products aren't so bad but never really were, but I see no improvement in their future. You should just hope for the best for Nintendo, and just stick to investing in PC hardware yearly.
ya know, like what I basically summed up in the last part of my post

I think that's more games right there on both past and present generation consoles than the Wii U has total on retail shelves!
actually, let me beat out your list by cheating and using the Virtual Console as a fall-back for those that are in the unknown -
Wii Mode is a Wii U option that allows backwards compatibility of ALL Wii games, some Gamecube games, and even some games unreleased to the Virtual Console previously.
The Wii is built for convenience - thus, Netflix, eBay, Vimeo, w/e you're interested in is a service right out of the same game box that also has just about any interesting title that was on a Nintendo product from 1986 onward. You can even get Metroid Fusion on WiiU's virtual console. Nintendo is also less about third party content and more for Nintendo licensed stuff. Why play Street Fighter 4 when you can get Super Street Fighter 2 on the virtual console (or your PC, so to speak) for pennies on the dime?
The thing about the WiiU is that it's built for overall convenience, and returning customers. There's something about all of the titles you listed that doesn't strike me well, in that they're almost all "remakes" of the predecessor which isn't bad but also isn't that great. That's what you're gonna see in the future of gaming as a gamer too. A lot of bull crap that's just high quality graphics with processing power - that's why some people went with the Wii before a PS3 or 360. And the price tag isn't high, for families that don't wanna bust $500 to play 4 of the games you mentioned.
Put it this way, Minecraft is instantly better on a PC. Wolfenstein, ok, I GUESS that's a cool 'remake' but this is something id software had down to the point in the 90s, RE games have just been retakes of eachother since 4, Saint's Row is just Grand Theft Auto meets Crackdown 1, GTA5 is actually good; Assassin's Creed 3 and 4 is actually on the Wii U...

By the way, we just reach $25,000 dollars in donations, and are back out to averaging about $1,200 the last couple of days. Definitely coming back, but there's still a lot of work to do.
I think I know how to rake in a good $5000 with some networking. I'm gonna see what I can do. And whether or not you guys liked the first game or Madness or Blockhead -- I mean face it, this stuff worked well for a reason -- try to get the name out there, maybe tell a few people that like crazy chaotic things to check out the Madness series and support it. I'm gonna see if @Egoraptor will budge on a suggestion to donate or help out in some way but as people probably know this guy does his own thing for his own reasons.

I have no idea why.
The Auditor feeds off chaos and Madness in the world. The more chaos Hank is involved in and creates, the more power it creates for the auditor. The auditor is an entity of madness itself, and Hank is an agent of Madness combat. When Hank becomes stronger, the Auditor's presence is corrupted through varies entities until it creates an actual being - THE Auditor. The Auditor was not quite around until the Improbability Drive was activated, which therein created 1337 Agents who manifested the creation of the MAG/Nexus labs along with the overarching creation of Auditor themselves.
This is not seen in "canon" eyes because you generally have to piece together their existence. Their existence strives from the music, which also arcs the underlying themes and foreshadows the existence of the Madness universe itself. It started 'cartoony and dumb' (the Chicken Dance remix song) to becoming pivotal and reflective of previous works, as MC10's track is a mashup between the series. Even the siren you hear may be a reference to the bird tweeting in DJ Birdy's song in the very beginning.
Hank's realization would be much darker than "Neo" in The Matrix, because the entities created through the universe of Madness directly revolve around the Auditor. The Auditor cannot exist if everything else is gone. There is nothing to take out the madness or chaos on, and that would mean existence itself is The Auditor's only enemy - this, and order. The Auditor does not take it upon themselves to establish any particular order, but to allow chaos to run rampant.
Jesus (a "holy" symbol, potentially someone that is the result of a previous experiment) is fighting what would also be part of an experiment carried out by an entity spawned by the same thing that gave Jesus, Hank, and Tricky life again. It's because the perimeters set by whatever program the Auditor had control over created a specific routine to all of it, perhaps resulting in creating an order THROUGH the mastery of chaos. The Auditor was just simply not present before the Improbability Drive, and would not be alive without Hank undermining the whole system.
This is why Hank blames Tricky and says to "stop it" (as in, reviving them after killing them) - either because they have a common enemy, or because Hank is unaware of the Auditor's existence.
The entire "violence" concept visualized in Madness may also just be a recollection of memories that were corrupted after a certain event, and that all of this is just thought in theory due to the strange supernatural force behind all of it. It's never understood how Hank survives his first accidents, where no specific entity "restored" him.
This just further illustrates that the work is not derivatives of violence, but instead the understanding of peace and what it must take for peace to be restored. The Auditor's existence thrives on the realization of violence, Hank relies on it as a means to restore peace but it will not be accomplished as long as anything remains alive.
