Mega Man X7 (via Legacy Collection) playthrough Part 3
This game hurts so much to play. Nothing about it is well designed. The stages are, at best, mediocre and at worse, downright terrible. The goal of rescuing the reploids is once again an exercise in frustration as they keep putting them in places that they will be killed if you make the slightest error, and then put things in to block your path to them. The boss fights are absolutely abysmal. Not fun at all. Even finding one enemy's weakness, the only "weakness" it exploits is stunning him for a little bit. It still takes WAY too many hits to kill him. There are enemies that do long attacks just to waste your time, ride armors that can't hit things without charging in and damaging themselves, stages where your camera is blocked so you can't see where you are or what you're doing, stage collision that doesn't match the graphics. There's red flags all over this game of things you should be actively avoiding in design. And this is the third game in the series in a row that had a sharp decline in quality, from an overall IP with two dozen entries by this point! Capcom had their fans, and simply did not care. And it hurts so much to see it. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/the_nametag
