Which series of Blue Bomber games do you prefer and why?
Through the wonders of Megaman and Megaman X collection I've been going back and trying to beat all of the Megaman games that I was unable to play as a kid. Making good progress too, with everything but X 6 and Megaman's 5,6 and 8 down, if you count my childhood playthroughs and you only count through the Playstation era.
Playing them both I can understand that the original Megaman games are sort of purer in gameplay and lighter in tone, but I have to say I prefer the X games.
I love the collection element and all of the stuff hidden in obscure places. In X-2 you have to ride a motorbike through the entire outside part of a level, jump into the interior part and drive across spikes straight toward a wall just to get one heart tank. I guess a good player then turns at the last second and looks awesome, but I always just crash and explode.
Also, it helps that with the benefit of all this armor and other stuff, everything seems a lot easier, except for maybe some of the boss fights. Sigma from Megaman X-4 was pretty tough.
