After what felt like years of waiting, I finally got to play an amazing Mega Man X game! It's funny because this game draws from all the failures of X5-X7 and makes them work extremely well, not to mention the problems I had with Mega Man X games. You still have parts to collect, but for the most part any important items or upgrades can be bought as long as you have the money, and with the way the contunie system works, it feels just different enough from the usual Mega Man fair. Oddly enough, this is the first Mega Man X game to feel like it actually has an identity, and I'm shocked how main extra unlockables there are in this game! If there is any Mega Man X you should play, it's this one.
The story's dry as a bone, but that's not what you're playing Mega Man for anyway. The only truly glaring flaw: there are some lame 3D shooter sections, and while they aren't as frustrating (or prolific) as those in X7, surmounting them will still test your patience more than your ability with a joypad.
Eliminates some of the annoyances of its predecessor. However, while that's all well and good, X8 can still often be an intensely frustrating game, and still isn't especially fun.
Tal vez no sea tan icónico como los juegos clásicos, pero hay que reconocer que es un juego excelente, el mejor de la saga en mucho tiempo, en historia no supera al x5 pero en todos los aspectos en general se queda en la cima tanto por su diseño de niveles, rejugabilidad, dificultad altísima pero no rota, mecánicas, etc. Lo único que no me agradó tanto es que los desbloqueables son muy costosos y requerirán varias partidas y constante farmeo para poder adquirirlos.
A definite step in the right direction following the failures of X6 and X7 but still an unfortunate end to the X series. Core gameplay/controls take a big leap from X7, with 3D sections removed entirely and the main trio moving quicker and feeling much more responsive in 2D. Unfortunately the 3D graphics return which are still a big step up from X7 but still fail to compare to the amazing sprite quality of the previous games, which not only look better but also make the games feel much faster, even if its just psychological. Special weapons are a mixed bag but overall reliable and the bosses can be really fun. The main issue is definitely the design of some stages though. While some are alright, others are dominated by gimmicks that neuter or just ruin the stage. Upgrades are also the most tedious to obtain that they've ever been, with most requiring some form of special weapon or specific character to obtain, necessitating a ton of backtracking, though the addition of a currency and shop similar to the Classic series mitigates this issue somewhat. Soundtrack isn't bad but personally is one of the most forgettable out of the X lineup. While this game isn't great, its a shame the X series had to die following a game that seemed to be halfway towards finding its footing.
Mega Man X8 is okay but it is flawed still. The gameplay is now getting stall and the graphics are meh. The controls are mediocre. So this game is just okay. Not that special.
Nonsensical, unnatural and laughable story accompanied with a gameplay that looks pretty but has lost all the previous essence. Mega Man is dead unless a total reboot.
