6:35 ''And finding out about Alia's secret desire for Mega-D'' I died XD

To quote the Great Clement who sums up my feelings on this game perfectly. "I hate this game."

I really hope your lack of viewership doesn't make you want to stop doing this. These are some of the best game reviews on youtube. I have no doubt your channel will continue to grow.

I really feel X6 is the typical case of a dev team being so much used to the game it's making that they keep making it harder and harder, loosing sight of how difficult the game really is.

If you were wondering what differences are in Xtreme mode: Nightmare viruses are far more common, shoot six projectiles instead of four at a much faster rate, are much more durable, and will teleport to your location if you leave them alone for too long. The projectiles shot from the Junkroid enemies can no longer be destroyed The Totem Gate enemies shoot much faster (At the same rate as after you destroy the middle portion on normal mode) and the middle portion goes after you immediately Enemies are littered *EVERYWHERE* You take much more damage. ...And more! Fantastic!

"Look at how flirty those eyes are! She's smokin' hot, man!" That's also a guy.

KZfaq is bugged as hell at the moment. I am trying to add my thumbnail, annotations and ads but I can't. I put the damn video on Unlisted and it is still getting views somehow.

hmm, the x4 video was 40 minutes long, the x5 video was 50 minutes long, and this one is 60 minutes long........ dear god if you did a series with many more sequels ._.

“Commander Yammark, check out how flirty those eyes are, shes smokin hot man” Should we tell him right now or.....

55:40 Truly the most intense portrayal of pain ever heard in gaming

Mega D? Real mature there. lol 😂

Here's an interesting tidbit. If you use the Yammar Option on the mosquitoes, you can destroy them! Dragonflies are the normal enemies of the pests.

My first time playing the temple was with the darkness effect on and I thought that was just how the level was supposed to be. It was a total nightmare

No matter how much hate this game gets, I think it will always be better than the trash that is known as X7.

If X5 and X6 got Maverick Hunter X-style remakes, I think they could have been some of the best action platformers out there. It's one thing I will always wish happened...

If any of you think this game is hard now, just try to play on Xtreme mode. Dear lord the entire game is suffering on Xtreme,

I owned x4 x5 and x6 as a kid and I finished x6 when I was 10. X6 was my favourite, so coming back to mega man after finding my old PlayStation, I was surprised people hated x6 so much. I guess its just one of these things, like empire being the best when revenge of the Sith was my favourite hands down.

Imagine if this game was remade by people who actually knew what they were doing.

I never wanna receive a comment again about how I think X6 is a bad game because I suck it at or whatever. I completely decimated this game and stand by it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8iKm9d_lpfQlWw.html

"Mega D" 😂

This might be one of the best videos that I've seen on any MMX game. What really makes this analysis perfect is how fair it is to the game - X6 is so easy to hate that I often see people fail to acknowledge or even realize that it had several good ideas and even some good execution here and there. Approaching the game from a completely reasonable standpoint and giving praise where praise is due shows that you're not picking and choosing examples to fit your opinion, and it both justifies and highlights the thoroughly negative rants over aspects which are truly irredeemable. Like the Nightmare System... I think one of the most telling things about the Nightmare System and its failings is that it's so completely obtuse that I still didn't feel certain you were aware it existed until about a third of the way through the video - even though it was clear by that point that you'd analyzed this game from start to finish. I honestly like the concept behind it, but it's staggering how almost none of the ideas surrounding it are good. Oh, I'm confident that you've learned this by now, but Mon Bando's deal is simply that he's intelligent enough not to lower his guard if you're busy whaling on it. Stop firing for a brief moment and he'll attack. I can at least forgive that design choice on the grounds that it's refreshing to see a shielded enemy without suicidal behavior for once (and since it's all but impossible to convey that information through level design alone, I can't exactly fault them there.) Anyway, I have a feeling I'll be watching a lot of your videos in the near future. Your work is outstanding.

For the Nightmare Mother fight, I got myself so used to fighting it on hard mode that my muscle memory gets fucked up every time it does the hesitation thing on normal mode

In my opinion, this is the best review you have ever done. As much as X6 sounds unappealing, I have an urge to go through the PS Mega Man X Games. I blame you and J.

I'm not entirely sure why, but I frequently find myself revisiting X6. I own the MegaMan X Collection and despite hating this game's Nightmare System and all the other bullshit it throws at you, I like replaying it. It has high points that are just so fun to go through, and I wish the rest of the game was on the same level of quality. HOWEVER Upon replaying this game **today**, I discovered something that I haven't seen mention of in the sites and videos I've read and watched, which makes me think I'm the first person to discover this??? Basically, *the nightmare effects in levels can be turned off.* As of posting this comment, I haven't personally tested to see if this holds true for all the nightmare effects, but I discovered that, for instance, upon re-entering Weapon Center (Infinity Mijinion's stage), Amazon Area (Commander Yammark's stage) and Inami Temple (Rainy Turtloid's stage) no longer suffer from that rage-inducing darkness bullshit. Spread the word!

"Hope you enjoyed Review"... was that a nod to the poor grammar we saw earlier in the video? I think I'm starting to see why X6 isn't on the PSN. I'm curious if you'll give X7 a try considering how infamous that one is and if X6 is better or worse. I haven't been able to play them but I can't help but be curious.

Plot twist: Commander Yammark isn't a girl. Lumine: FINALLY! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!

Man, my hat's off to you for having the patience to play through this game. X6 made me give up on the X series altogether. I haven't played X7 or X8, though I'll likely be picking up the legacy collections when they come out next month. I think you hit the nail on the head for why I had such a lousy time when I first played through X6 (back when it was first released). The Nightmare system was atrocious, and I had no idea what was going on when I beat a stage and had such difficulties in the next stage because of that system.

What is it with a lot of obnoxiously bad games having fantastic soundtrack? This game is my favorite Megaman X soundtrack, Alone in the Dark 08, Sonic 06, Final Fantasy XIII (subjectively), even the tune in Big Rigs is catchy.. (if it even plays) ..good music can't be the easiest part of any entertainment media to create, right?

ONE HOUR? Holy shit, you are my hero.

X6 is weird. Even though the game was rushed out the door and made a lot of terrible decisions, it still keeps me coming back. More so than almost any other X game in fact. Most of the bosses are a lot of fun for me when they're at max level and played on Xtreme mode. Also, if you thought Commander Yammark was a girl I've got some bad news for you.

So, I started X6 knowing thar Zero is dead, right? So, I'm playing as X whom I like, but not as much as Zero. 7 stages completed, but then... I fight fake Zero and unlock the real one. I'm happy as fuck, now I can play as Zero! I'm happy, I pick Zero and choose a stage... ...only to find out that my Zero is NOT leveled up at all. How do you level up? You pick up upgrades from reploids and on stages! Fucking... amazing! I'm angry as fuck and continue playing as X, only to get stuck on one of the Sigma stages right before some high spikes. How do I avoid them? By having Zero's double jump! Fuck the what! I can't do that as X! What am I supposed to do?! I'm mad, I pick Zero again and go there, do a double jump, complete the level... and then Nightmare Mother happened. I'm BAT-SHIT INSANE AND START THE WHOLE GAME FROM SCRATCH. I unlock Zero ASAP, level him up and complete the game. Never EVER will I touch X6 again. After that I played MMZ1-4 for the first time, and everything was fine. I'm in love with MMZ3 and happy. End of story. Don't play X6 kids. Don't...

Do yourself a favor if you play this game. Unlock the Ultimate Armor - a broken armor that helps counteract a broken game.

This game is a guilty pleasure of mine. Even though I thoroughly accept that this is a bad game, I still like it for what it is and what it was trying to accomplish. Yes, it can be gruelling and frustrating at times(okay, a lot of times), but it never feels boring or dull to me. Which is a big plus imo. I also really like the selection of weapons this entry provides. Because they are all so very quirky and unique compared to their counterparts from the previous X games. They are also very helpful as most of them provide great assistance(such as protection and mobility) whenever you're navigating through the game's hellish level designs thanks to their wide array of applications. To name a few, the Yammar Option can both function as a surprisingly potent rapid fire-type weapon as well as a decently reliable barrier-type weapon, the Magma Blade is a powerful long range weapon who's not too shabby in melee department either, and the Guard Shell is, well, broken as fuck, as long as you know how to exploit it.Each of the boss weapons also possess the uncanny hidden ability to completly nullify or eradicate their respctive nightmare phenomena. For example the afro-mentioned Yammar Option completely exterminates those pesky metal mosquitoes that appear once you exit the amazon-area, the Guard Shell offers you complete protection against the random Soul Bodies originating from Shield Sheldon's stage, and the Metal Anchor destroys the mini discount press compactors found in the magma and museum areas.The weapons are also able to pack quite a punch, more so than in most other X games. If you time it correctly, a single charged Metal Anchor can completely one shot those giant abnoxious red doughnut mini bosses. And boy is it gratifying to pummel down on High Max and put him in his rightful place(namely the scrapyard) with any of these special weapons in their charged state! Boy just doesn't know what hit him! The new armors, both Blade and Shadow, are pretty cool too imo. The Blade Armor, while lacking in raw power initially, makes it up in mobility with it's powerful Mach-Dash and in novelty with it's wide charged saber attack. But what makes it truly special is when it is used with in tandem with the Guard Shell. As you may or may not know the Guard Shell has a scary glitch in the way that it is programed, in that, it allows for damage to be stacked on and on and on for EACH DAMM FRAME ON ANIMATION as long as the attack remains within an activated Guard Shell's hit box! Exponentially magnifying the amount of hurt you can dish out! Needless to say this kind of thing works best with a saber-type attack one that has numerous frames of animation. Namely Zero's triple-slash-combo and Blade Armor X's Charged Saber attack. So in conclusion, you can wreck some serious havoc with the Blade Armor once you know the in's and out of it. Also throw in quick charge chip for good measure.But the true MVP between the two new armors is definitely the Shadow Armor. Because, In spite of it's inability to air dash or capitalize on X6's powerful weapons, it more than makes up for it with it's other functions and abilities. Firstly it's completely immune to death-spikes, all shapes and sizes. Making Gate's first stage a walk in the park. It's also able to stick to walls and ceilings with it's high jump, allowing you to catch your breath and stay out dangers way for as long as you want. It's default(and only) weapon, the shuriken buster as I like to call it, is a combination of X3's Ray Splasher and X5 Cresent Shot in it's uncharged state which is really effective against hordes of Nightmare Enemies. But what takes the cake for me is it's charge attack and giga attack, the Engetsurin and the Enkourin respectively, The former is basically a pre-packaged charged saber(Blade Armor) and Guard Shell combo, with an even bigger hitbox to boot! No need to elaborate on how broken this monster is I believe. The latter is simply two Engetsurins that orbit around X for a set period of time, ravaging anything in it's wake without mercy. You can basically melt the bosses health bar like ice cream on a sidewalk on a hot summer's day with that giga. So yeah! The Shadow Armor is fucking awesome like that. It's only problem is it's lack of variety in the offensive department.The old out-of-maintenance Falcon Armor can seriously go fuck itself though.(Thanks A LOT Alia.) The Ultimate Armor though, albeit a little aged and rusted on the outside, is still good and reliable as it always was. Makes the beginning portion of the game and the second High Max encounter a total breeze. I do not recommend it for the Sigma fight though, as the fight was designed with the two new armors in mind. Not the Ultimate Armor, not at all.

"But once you get used to it, it's not that bad." Like the Great Clement once said, even when you do get used to it, once you do know how to avoid all the bullshit, that doesn't excuse everything you went through on your first attempt. First impressions are, in my eyes, what decides the game's quality for me. If I hated the design on my first try, chances are I'm going to hate it on later tries.

It is kind of a shame you felt the need to cut the story from your review. X6 introduces a pretty interesting divergence in the story. In X's and Zero's solo endings, Zero goes into stasis and the story of Megaman Zero starts. But in in the X and Zero ending, he doesn't, and X7, X8 and command mission happens instead. Not many people are aware of this timeline divergence, Capcom included.

Man i played the shit out of this game with my friends as a kid and we had so much fun, i never thought it was bad.

have you ever played the megaman Zero series? i honestly feel like, in terms of average quality of the games, the Zero series is the best megaman series. both classic and X have games ranging from great to bad..the Zero games are all great.

I played this game with: -Ultimate armor -Easy mode -Rookie hunter mode -Stage order guides Even with all those combined. I still had a terrible time with it and I HATE this game

I haven't watched this video yet, but after the long wait all I can say is... OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY

you probably know this by now, but in the Rockman complete works book, keji inafune stated that mega man and bass for the super famicom was designed to be hard intentionally, with inane even reminding the team that they were going to easy on the player but for x6, the most he gave it was an apology for it's existence

X6 is the one that I played the most, it's true, it is a mess , but one that I love. Love your reviews. Especially this one since you went to the gameplay and level desing and not the story, people says that x6 story doesn't make sense and once you learn the lore its true, but when I played this game as a kid I didnt know english, so it really didnt matter lol, and now that I can understand (kind of lol) still doesnt matter since I just skip the cutscenes/dialogues.

I happened to stumble upon your X4 - X6 reviews and I enjoyed all 3 of them. Especially since it helped me realize why I was unsatisfied with X5 and X6. These reviews are in-depth as well as enjoyable, and I bet sometime in the near future your channel will see a massive increase in viewers. Keep up the great work!

Commander Yammark is a dude

Blade Armor destroys High Max too. You have to be really close but the charged saber attack safely hits him through his barrier and stuns him for you to hit him with a special weapon. It basically turns the fight into Spark Mandrill 2 with how easy it becomes when you realize it.

Coming from J's Review and seeing the people in the comments try and defend this game is insane. I swear they don't listen to the actual criticisms of the game and just go "you're bad because you didn't like the level" So many things are wrong with this game. Trying to defend the game by saying it's meant to be challenging is easily countered by that being wrong. How is cramming a high health enemy that blocks when it's not attacking in a hallway where you can't dodge it? Or the enemies that fire invincible rockets at you. What challenge does blacking out 90% of the screen add? What about levels you can't beat without specific power ups or exploits? How does having a power up to bypass the impassible hard? It's like putting a key in a door. How is it challenging to have reploids who's gifts are unlisted until you get them, can be perma killed? A slow ceiling crusher through the ENTIRE STAGE isn't challenging, it's tedious. The only challenge there is keeping your patience in check for 10 minutes of dull gameplay with the worst song in the game on loop. Fighting the same mini-boss with way too much health 5 times? None of this is challenging. It's irritating padding for bad level design. Look no further than Wolfang's level. The had to remove the series staple of wall jumping from the entire level to try and make it challenging. "But Snot, they did that with Split Mushroom!" 1 room in a much larger level isn't damming, it's just 1 part you deal with vs an entire level of janky, poorly animated ice boulders rolling at you. If it was meant to be challenging, then the bosses would have been a challenge. Things would be difficult and not road blocks/padding. Dark Souls is challenging, there's always several ways to take on a task, you have many options and you're never walled off for simply not having an obscure power up. What challenge is added by requiring a a jumper ability while the stage is under a nightmare effect and then- assuming Jeff doesnt' get killed you can bypass that wall! How does having an impossible wall challenging unless you get a move that simply lets you jump higher? Running naked through Cyber Peacocks level as X dashing and hopping around trying not to get grabbed by those orbs and get a S rank is hard. It takes practice and is possible- but difficult with no gear. But with gear it's made easier. X6 was rushed, it has janky level design, lack luster bosses and animations. The fact the original director of the series didn't even know it was being made speaks volumes. Playing the game when it was new was annoying and now playing it today, knowing all the secrets thanks to guides? It's just obviously bad and liking a bad game is fine but trying to claim it's some work of genius difficulty and challenge is insane. Even speed runners have admitted this game isn't good. But some illusion of challenge makes it good? Then why aren't the bosses difficult? Why are the levels just padded out the whole way? Man that came out longer than I thought it would. But seriously, fuck this game.

I literally found a copy of this game in the trash.

Infinity Mijinion's theme made the lives lost bearable.

When you rage at the game is the only time your accent sounds anglophonic

Regarding the extreme variance in the stage's difficulties, Megamam & Bass made it absolutely better; they put it in a progressive order where one stage unlocks others and so on.

Your reviews alongside J's are probably one of my favorites to watch. And I actually got into the Mega Man series in a weird way, I started off with X8 but then finished classics before slowly working towards X series, since i promised myself I would finish everything (even though I finished Zero series in between classics and X series), and right now I'm nearing the fight with Zero/X. But I hope you would've talked about the story here, since I'm still confused on how the story works, is X6 an alternate timeline which leads to the other X games, or are the Zero games the alternate timeline, meaning ZX and ZXA aren't canon? Hope for the best for you! P.S Sure you know this already but Commander Yammark is apparently a dude.

And it gets worse... In X7.. Prepare your sanity for that, man.

As contrast to other video game reviewers, your content is fantastic, and from my opinion, among the best. An hour-long video dissecting and deconstructing a game under precise scrutiny is something you is a very scarce sight, especially with the caliber of detail and effort you very clearly pour into each one. I just wanted to stop by and voice my appreciation in that regard, and I, alongside many, many others, adore the work you do.

Ahhh, X6.... If you ask me, it has the best music of the Playstation trilogy and some of the best graphics/visual presentation of the entire series... and the actual gameplay and feel, the increased/better options of X and Zero themselves, some awesome boss weapons for both and my favorite armor upgrade suits and playable Zero overall in any X game make for a great base upon which an awesome game could have been made -- as well as a pretty cool story (IN MY HUMBLE, PERSONAL OPINION) to top it all off... but it was sadly, horribly, *horribly* marred by a few truly, deeply atrocious stage and boss designs and that godawful nightmare virus system which would have been largely alleviated if you simply got another chance to rescue the Reploid in question upon re-entering the stage, or could just shoot the guy off after he'd started his 'corruption' animation. Even with all that, though, I personally like it a bit more than X5, and a LOT more than X7. And yes, I loved seeing you suffer through this and offer your honest opinions and detailed analyses of exactly *why* this game has issues and what they are, while still being fair and giving due credit to the positive aspects like the soundtrack and many elements of the gameplay. I don't think I could ever hope for anyone else to properly convey the raw shittitude of Heatnix's stage as well as you did -- though even then, I feel Metal Shark's is even worse, personally, and maybe the Gate stages; at least you can cheese the ouroboros guys with the right abilities.

Megaman X6 is difficult the way passing a kidney stone is difficult. It's not fun or interesting, you're just in pain and relieved when it's finally passed because the experience is behind you

53:13 “I don’t have much noteworthy to say about this portion…” 53:17 “…EXCEPT FOR THE FUCKING GLARING BULLSHIT THAT X IN HIS SHADOW ARMOR CANNOT COMPLETE THE STAGE WITHOUT SPECIFIC PARTS!”

You deserve way more subscribers. The content you make is simply outstanding!

23:04 - That actually has happened to me on my first playthrough a few years ago (when I got the X Collection). I am like: "What were they thinking putting a random unnoticeable spike in an ice pit?" 31:30 - Commander Yammark is male. ._.

This entire game feels like an amateur fan hack or something. Get how I mean? Where they don't really know how level design functions, so they just put in whatever they think might be cool? Leading to a bunch of problems and subpar design, simply because it _isn't_ designed? This entire game feels like _that._

4:40 I was unaware the _[!]_ prompt was for Alia. I thought it was a little warning for upcoming danger. So I've gone an entire childhood without her help for X6.

I after realizing Zero actually has his buster in this game, I'd like to address why people hate X's saber. We all knows Zero's thing is his saber. Barring this game and the brief moments you could use him in X3, his saber was his only method of combat. Nevertheless, it was still pretty versatile. He had a 3-hit combo, a rolling slash, his "powers" were special moves or permanent upgrades that he always had access to without having to switch to them despite not being as good for bosses like X's equivalent in most cases, and all of these were pretty powerful. This still applies in X6, but he now has a subweapon in the form of his buster that is VERY inferior to X's, as it can't be charged or fired in the air. That being said, it had a decent rate of fire (if X is Fox, Zero is Wolf, but faster), it's power was alright, and the invul it caused on boss (and I think enemies in general) was less that usual, allowing it to body bosses and fell regular enemies decently if you wanted or needed to keep your distance. His saber was better, but his buster wasn't by any means bad. Now look at X. ranged combat is his specially. He's got a rapid fire buster than can be charged by several levels for a variety of stronger and larger charged shot depending on the armor he had on, most of which can mow through smaller enemies and deal good damage to anything that can't be oneshot (plus you could mash out single shots immediately after). He also had special weapons that ALL annihilated the boss that was weak to them (except Mijinion I think) and could help against regular enemies. As his sub weapon, he had a saber like Zero. However, unlike Zero's buster, X's saber was VERY inferior to his main weapon. It only has swing, which wouldn't be too bad if it weren't so slow and weak. As shown in this video, it takes 3 swings to take out that crate in the intro stage, during which that drill can easily drop down and hit you. You could always move beforehand, but that'll take longer, and you really shouldn't have to wait to cut down that crate considering X in similar situations could destroy an obstacle using single shots of his buster with ease. And those moments of it being useful are very few (not counting the Magma Blade since that's a special weapon), and you're better of not bothering with it and going buster only unlike Zero, who actually has some uses for his buster even if it's just a subweapon. Maybe this could've been reprimanded if X-could charge his saber swings or fire of a blade beam without the need for the Blade Armor (which doesn't even use the saber button, but Up + a charged shot), but as it is, it's so inferior to the X-Buster that it isn't worth using save for the few situations where it can be useful, in which case you could just switch to Zero and use his far superior saber and viable buster.

But seriously dude this was an amazing review. You didn't just see the game for all it's bad points. You genuinely tried to see the game from multiple perspectives (is the game intended to be hard? is the game really that bad?). I can tell you put a lot of work into this. I really hope you get bigger on KZfaq because of videos like this with so much effort put into them. Keep up the great work.

Excellent review as always! You pretty much talked about everything that's wrong with (and even a few things it did right) and I applaud you for that, because no other reviewer on KZfaq had done that well before IMO. On a side note, I actually used to defend this game for quite a while, but after taking a closer look at it recently... yeah, it does suck objectively. It's just riddled with flaws all around. That said though, I'm on the camp of people who love it. Even with the bad design it has, defeating enemies and bosses and getting past levels still feels very rewarding to me. Hell, even the worst parts of the game I can get some joy out of, and sure, that's because I know how to get around the bs, but still. Couple that with the good controls (aside from a couple nuisances), appealing graphics, interesting level and boss concepts and the KICKASS music and there's one hand i just can't get enough of. And again, I can perfectly see why that wouldn't bring satisfaction to most, but to me anyway, that doesn't detract from the fun. I replay it about as much as the other X games except X7. Overall though, I'd say that X6 is easily my biggest guilty pleasure in gaming. Hope you guys can understand.

When people ask why I didn't think that Mighty No 9 was that bad, I say, "I mean, I made it through X6". I don't think this is the worst game of all time, but I do call it the worst game by a major studio that I have ever played.

I agree with almost everything you say in this review, and yet ironically, whenever I'm in the mood to play a Megaman X game, I often like to reach for this one. The two biggest reasons why: 1) As you said, the music in almost every stage is quite good. I never get tired of these tracks. 2) Even though the game ridiculously challenging, I find a strange sense of satisfaction in taking it on. If it's too tough, one thing I've noticed is that a level that's tough to play with X is actually not so bad with Zero, and vice versa. Case in point: I feel like the Blaze Heatnix level was tailor made for Zero! It's so much easier to take on the mini boss with his Sabre than with X, and slashing through all that stuff with the music track is one heck of an adrenaline rush!

You're fairly specific on the musical aspects. I like you.

Well, I just sat here and watched all of your MMX reviews of 1 through 6 back to back and while I disagree with a piece here and there, I think you generally have a solid idea of what each entry does for the series and you gave them respectable time and effort. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you chat about them and bring me back to my own experiences with them. Thanks for the time and effort you put into these vids!

when i did a No Armor Run twitch... Blaze's level was the turning point of beyond rage and suicidal thoughts. After 4 hours, i won. Finally, infinity douchebag boss fight was another turning point in the run. After i beat this run, i'm never doing this again.

Most reviewers tend to attack the bed of spikes in the Amazon Are but really the butterflies becomes a huge clue where the transport mechaniloid is.

These criticisms are so incredible and perfect, it blows my mind why I still like this game. There's a certain charm these games bring, that no matter how terrible and irritating some mechanics or stages are, you are somehow forgiving of all of it's mistakes. This game sucks, but I like it...

longest review i've seen since Johnnys 06 review 0_o

I personally like playing X6, but only as Black Armor Zero. I like abusing the Guard Shell exploit and the Ensuizan invincibility glitch.

Mistake: You said the nightmare effect from Weapon Centre causes meteors in blizzard Wolfang altho its Blaze Heatnix who you have to visit to get those meteors.

Hopefully I'm not alone in this, but Please keep doing reviews like this! It was well thought out, entertaining and kept me engaged throughout the entire video. Well done!

So, what this review is trying to say is that this video game is the 2D equivalent of Dark Souls 2's game design philosophy of frustration and "when you can't make it interesting, add a ton of shit to make it hard"

one trick in recycle lab is to leave the rider in a certain area where you are on a top part. this will cause the pinning machine to be stopped by the rider

The intro stage song is the most "Ps1" song I ever listen... love it too :)

This should be titled as Megaman X Fustration

FYI in Central Museum, you actually can control where you go when you enter the totem poles. Each totem pole takes you to 2 separate rooms with which you can access either by going either above or below the bird part of the pole. The mechanic isn't really explained at all nor does it indicate which section of the pole you need to touch in order to go to the desired section but it is there to help you have some control. Doesn't excuse the poor level design though. Other than that, really good review as usual! Keep up the good work!

As someone who actually likes X6, I find this review to be both totally 100% fair and also riotously funny. Much as I enjoyed X6, I don't think I could in good conscience call it a good game and can definitely see its flaws. Thanks for the hour's worth of entertainment.

What the FUCK dude? I'm in Recycle Lab as naked blue X and I made it to the "half way point" right before the Dr. Light capsule where there's the giant ass gap you have to jump across, and I just can't. And I can't go BACK to try to go the original route. I killed off all 8 lives I had and it spawned me RIGHT BACK AT THE CONTINUE PART. I HAVE TO GET A GAME OVER AGAIN JUST TO EXIT THE GODDAMN LEVEL! I do NOT remember this game sucking so many balls back in 2006.

1:00:43 you forgot to mention that what just happened here means unavoidable death, and sometimes, if it happens at the beginning of the ice dropping cycle, you may be there waiting for a LOOONG time until the block that kills you decides to spawn. This and another reason is why I don't understand why you said that this is one of the better stages. On the next section, where there's rows of ice blocks falling with one opening for you to slip through, one would think that this gap is safe, and you can't possibly know that if you don't jump, an ice block will instantly materialize to fill the gap and, yeah, kill you.

I wanted you to review this so bad because nobody else talks about the Zero mid air glide. Worst ability ever. Especially when hanging. Ugh.

I loved this game on the PS2 when I was like 8 and I love it today I do accept all those flaws but it's fun to replay it from time to time

As an X6 fan, I’d like to explain my own reason as to why I love this game, regarding the ending Beating the game makes me feel validated as a player of the MMX series, I can easily complete X1, X2, X3, X4, and X5 (however that one is a little more challenging) X6 tests the player’s abilities that were given to them, and asks of them to push them past their limits, like with Zero’s second segment in Gate Stage 2 where you have to spam the wall jump button to survive, the only time that was really useful in the previous game was against the Shadow Devil There’s also using the Maverick Weapons to your advantage to traverse the stages, instead of just using them to attack (check out my own channel where I did that in Commander Yammark’s second path with no armor X as an example) This game makes me feel validated as a Mega Man fan, unlike a game such as Mega Man & Bass, another INCREDIBLY hard game in the series Also, the music slaps, which just makes the experience a whole lot better

44:30 Actually you can beat that part with ultimate X without the jumper ability, it's just REALLY annoying and precise.

I actually love megaman x6 more then 4 and 5

Somehow I didn't do too bad playing this. I just hated the Blaze Heatnix, Blizzard Wolfang and Gate stages *AND RECYCLE LAB*

That feel when you figure out that the you can abandon the ride armor in the recycle center to clog up the press was so good.

i actually like this game, it's hard as fuck but i was a poor kid so games needed to last and x6 forced me to master the mechanics to survive to a speedrunner level, it's artificial life sure but it did mean i ended up playing this more than other MegaMan games and as a kid with no games that's very appreciated

Yeah, this game is a mess and broken as hell, but I would rather play this game then fuckin' Mighty No. 9.

That Gate scream has got to be one of the best Game Voice acting moments EVER.

Also, High Max can blow me! He is one of the most annoying pain in the ass bosses I've ever faced in a video game! Hardest? No. Far from it. But that doesn't make him any less annoying.

"Hardest" does not equal "worst". X6 is one of my favs. X7 on the other hand...

how come everyone hates this game? I actually really like this game.

I don't know why there's a dick measuring contest between which game people think is worse between X6 or X7. There both shit but I'd rather play X7 then X6, I'd rather be bored and occasionally frustrated than be frustrated with everything past the first level.

"Oh boy, would have been cool to have a crusher to make the player use the crouching ability!" *SHOWS THE CRUSHER SECTION* "Oh boy, would have been cool to have a zipline over a bottomless pit to make the player use the rope!" *SHOWS THE ROPE OVER A BOTTOMLESS PIT* "Oh boy, would have been cool to have Alia explain the reflective boxes!" *SHOWS ALIA EXPLAINING THE REFLECTIVE BOXES*

I consider X6 a guilty pleasure, even with all the bullshit. I'm looking forward to your X7 review, if you ever decide to cover it. A word of warning, though: if you disliked X6 this much, I can only imagine how much you'll despise X7...

You thorough son of a bitch, now i have to spend a hour watching this (there really needs to be fonts to support the teasing). Hope your channel grows, your videos are pretty damn good!

55:44 when I hear my upstairs neighbor making godamn loud noises again for the gazillionth time.

"you have to pass trough the wall with zero hints" The select button would like to have a word with you
