Was the second one any good? Loved the original.

Good, but not as great as the first. The first was a 9, and the 2nd was...I guess a low 8/high 7.

OK, I've never actually played VJ2. But I love the first one, and I heard the sequel wasn't as good? So it might as well not be a thing to me.

Okay, I got a ton of votes for X4, so MMX4 is getting played tonight. I'll also make a post in the monthly gaming challenge thread.
Thanks, guys!

Probably missed some people, but X4 had such an overwhelming lead...
And yes, I truly think I got burned out by those playthroughs. I don't really feel like touching an FF game for a while.
Neptunia mk2 is still embarrassing in terms of narrative features, fanservice, and characterization. I don't like the humour, I don't like the characters, I don't like the narrative, I don't like the music, I don't like the art very much, etc. But the game is oddly fun to play; it's solid. Character positioning matters, attacks depend on weapon length (so it's like Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits in some cases), you can't just brute-force enemies but you have to take out their armour before you hack away at them (and it's much easier in this game to do than it was in Neptunia 1, I feel), you can finally heal allies yourself (in Neptunia 1, you couldn't), the game industry share system is much easier to handle and it's much easier to manipulate compared to the first game's, and the enemy design still makes me chuckle.
The Inafune weapon is kinda funny the first time you see it, and it's ridiculously strong.
Otherwise, Koko, I really don't think you'd like them anyhow because of how fanservicey they can get. If I got embarrassed while playing some of it and ended up skipping through all of the cutscenes, dialogue, spoken dialogue, etc. then yeah, I doubt you'd like it.
I honestly just skip all the dialogue and cutscenes because I really don't give a shit about them. I can't stand it, personally.
Thanks, guys!

I like more FF games than you realize. Even some of the ones that people typically complain about.
And yes, I truly think I got burned out by those playthroughs. I don't really feel like touching an FF game for a while.
When I played Neptunia 1, I really disliked the narrative, the characters, the voice acting, the "humour", etc. The game itself is really boring and terrible, so I stopped playing it because there wasn't anything keeping me around at all.

Yeah, there were some funky cats in my committee. Deodorant is widely available for cheap. Wash under you're arms and do two quick swipes, problem solved.
He has a huge anime dvd collection, and it's all harem shows and magic/alien/robot girlfriend stuff. He's also got lots of pvc figures and body pillows.

I think it would be best if we included all of the covers that we've seen so far for the crossover thread. *still editing while playing X4*
You guys can suggest OT titles or vote on the ones that Shadow Hog or qq came up with.

...was that the one where he went to space?
I loved that show (the normal Tenshi Muyo) but I was waaaay too young to be watching it. Why was that on at 4:30 in the afternoon? It's not explicit or anything but the themes are obviously... well, he has a fucking harem!
Lol yes he goes into space in GXP.
...right, that was a thing I was doing.
Tenchi is one of the few harem shows that I actually like. I can't even make it through most of them usually, Love Hina seriously got on my nerves.
Eh, I thought Love Gina was decent. I can definitely see where you think it was annoying though.
This is me watching Love Hina, or any harem anime.

That's some good stuff and I wonder if we're going to get a new Knuckles rap in the next Sonic game.
Also, I posted some cool shit about X4 before I complete it.
Man, I hope I still like MMX4 and still think of it as my favourite X game.
This will be my litmus test with respect to answering whether or not I still like video games. :V

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. (Really?)My tomatoes got confiscated.
Editing notes:
I fixed some of the spelling/capitalization in the image quotes that Tizoc had. If you want the code and stuff straight-up, just tell me and I’ll PM it over.
I think it would be better to add all of the covers and variants since they made all of us drool. Not just a fraction. I think it’s better this way. Also, you can click on the covers to get larger versions of them! That's what took me so long the other night. I was resizing and uploading.
Sciz said he was making the banners so wait for him. He also said he’d think about resizing the double-spread covers to fix with the 131x200 covers. Once Sciz posts the banners, I'll give it a final look-over for code, proper spacing, and decent formatting. I assume that the first image is a WIP sorta thing, because I think Sciz wanted to use something else.
I genuinely dislike leaving links raw like that (it looks unprofessional, imo) so I ended up embedding the preview pages from Bean in a picture, and in text. Lemme know if you just want me to leave it as a raw link because I… well, it’s my personal pet peeve.
Edits as per April 4th.
Edited image sizes. Small formatting code changes. Sciz, you're free to hit me up.

Introduction:
“Worlds Collide” is a 12-part comic book crossover event between Archie’s Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man comic series.
...
Okay, for those of you still with us, this is really exciting, and we say that without a trace of sarcasm. Fans have drawn parallels between the two series for years:
But that'd all be so much cruft if the comics were rubbish. No, what makes this exciting is that it represents a crossover between not just the two franchises, but between three of the best comic books running today (Sonic has two). They're nonstop character-driven fun, full of color and lighthearted comedy even as they weave in action and drama. And like all great kid-friendly media, they're littered with gags for the older fans while never talking down to the actual target audience. Being sourced from beloved video game franchises just makes them that much better.
Here's the rundown on what you're getting into:

Okay, for those of you still with us, this is really exciting, and we say that without a trace of sarcasm. Fans have drawn parallels between the two series for years:
- Both feature evil roboticists trying to take over the world
- Both have similarly clichéd supporting casts (the loyal canine companion, the dark double, the sometimes friendly rival, the requisite supportive girl)
- Both have a legacy of great music and wildly variable quality
- The heroes both share some color of the spectrum or something
- In recent years, they also both have series coming out of Archie Comics, the independent publisher that just won't die.
But that'd all be so much cruft if the comics were rubbish.

The Blue Blur
Nope. I distinctly remember the Sonic comic being as bad as the games. Worse.
And there was a time when you were right, when the series' standards let plots through like "Sonic goes to high school, no really", "Knuckles' extended family goes through vaguely sociopolitical relationship drama", and "let's spend a year showing off the future where everyone has kids and nothing of interest happens because the writer forgot that plots require conflict". Then that writer got canned, ironically right around the time Sega was busy releasing Sonic '06; and Our Lord and Savior Ian Flynn was brought in and promptly spent the next two years cleaning up the last guy's mess. Ian's an ascended fan (as is most of the art staff these days), and while he's not without his own foibles, he understands what makes the series tick and what makes for good storytelling in general. It also helps that he revels in dredging up stuff like the Battle Bird Armada and the scrapped band from Sonic 1's sound test as opposed to inventing loads of new faces.
These days the comic is the fun and engaging series described earlier, where the setting occasionally hits up places from the games and even Shadow and Silver are genuinely good characters. No, seriously. That's why the Sonic Universe spinoff book even exists. All the other characters that everyone hate in the games got their own book where Sonic barely even shows up because they're written well enough to carry it on their own.
But isn't it still based on the old cartoon with Freedom Fighters and stuff?
Sort of. At this point it's an amalgam of characters, ideas, and locations from the cartoon, the stuff worth salvaging from prior years of the comic, and just about anyone and anything you can think of from the games. It's weird, but it works.
For the purpose of Worlds Collide, it doesn't matter, because the crossover features game characters only. You don't have to care what a “Mobotropolis” is or why the creepy chimera wizard-king is evil (It makes sense in context).

The Blue Bomber
There's a Mega Man comic?
There is! It's only got two years behind it compared to Sonic's twenty, but it's the only place where the franchise is still alive with its dignity intact. Ian Flynn pulls writing duties here as well, and consequently the series has a lot in common with his work on Sonic with respect to tone and humor. Unlike Sonic, though, Mega Man is religiously devoted to the games as source material. That isn't to say that it's a slave to the numbered titles; Ian happily pulls in characters from Battle & Chase and Rockman Gold Empire while adapting elements of Super Adventure Rockman in the background. But the original characters and concepts introduced thus far supplement the games rather than supplanting them.
After a breakneck first year that tore through Mega Man 1, Powered Up, and Mega Man 2 in succession, the series has since slowed down and started really digging into the characters and narrative that begin to crop up around Mega Man 3. It's spent the second year casually juggling heartrending tales (Proto Man's tragic origins) with goofy side stories (the budding rivalry between Guts Man and Concrete Man) and high action (a terrorist attack at a robotics convention); all while slowly building a serious conversation about the role of advanced robotics and artificial intelligence in society. It’s really truly excellent stuff.
It's strictly a Classic series affair so far, but the creative staff have repeatedly said they'd love to take on some of the other subseries if there's enough fan support.

Now Finally, Worlds Collide
And so we return to the main event: a four-month crossover extravaganza from April to August that spans across Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Universe, and Mega Man. Sonic's about to meet a whole bunch of robots he can't just bop, Drs. Wily and Eggman are about to discover the joy of having a B.F.F., and somehow our azure heroes are going to have to get along long enough to deal with the machinations of the newly-minted Evil Friends Forever before both worlds fall to their robot army.
SonicGAF's been looking forward to it for months, as has MegaGAF (disclaimer: MegaGAF is mostly comprised of SonicGAF), and we hope you'll be along for the ride.
With Regards to Spoilers: Please use spoiler tags for the issue that is released in its own release week, you may stop using spoiler tags after two weeks have passed and the next part of the story has been released.
The schedule is as follows (all dates represent comic shop availability):

If you want to catch up on the series in general (ie: not as part of this comic crossover) and be up to date with it, you've also got options:
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Back issue availability is a bit scattershot, to say the least. Ian's run begins with #160, but the trade paperback reprints are only up to #82. A more recent reprint line, "Sonic Saga", picks up at #162, but the two available volumes only run through #172. Most everything from #211 on is available digitally, however.
- Sonic Universe: TPB volumes only cover up to #16 at the moment, but the whole series is available digitally.
- Mega Man: Issue #1-16 are available across four TPB volumes, with volume 5 due out in May. Again, the whole series is available digitally.

Potto to cut a check to Sonicgaf for advertising!
I don't think I could ever pick between X1 and X4, they are just so perfectly good. Well, X4's last boss is crazy, but still, the gameplay before all that is phenomenal, just like X1. Zero's gameplay was the best in X4 and better than any other Mega Man game.
For those who like the genre of rap, they are actually extremely well done and unique.
You're right, I don't think I could play it for very long before being quite annoyed at how mindlessly stuff gets portrayed. Sometimes I'll experiment with these types games like I played Otomedius Excellent which wasn't as bad as Neptunia or anything, but the motives behind every inflatable balloon chest size, ripped clothing, and all the other perverted stuff in games like this just sometimes grosses me out due to how mindless it is. To be honest, if you're going to play something specifically for that part(the pervy stuff), I don't understand the appeal of playing fanservicey variant in a video game, I never understand why people want to mix normal with all this sexual content, but oh well I don't really care too much as that's how some people are, I only dislike it when people won't stop going on and on about their fetishes as if the world needs to know, or whatever else as if it's some kind of gold medal. (yes, I've seen a lot on GAF)
Then you get comments like:
"Stop censoring" (naked people)
"Stop talking about Pokemon" (when talking about 11-14 year old female children from the game/show sexualized with larger breasts in fanart and revealing clothing making lewd gestures or laying ontop of other characters.)
I cannot comprehend how some people cannot comprehend I guess you could say.

I could go for some cash, sure.
Yup. I have two masters and then the last bits left, but I'll do that tomorrow. I'm still enjoying the game very much as X. I'll probably do Zero tomorrow. I think that might go a little better since I'll be way less rusty at the game. We'll see how the final boss goes, but I remember kinda... liking it? But that's because I like it hard.
Honestly, though?
X4 > X2 > X1 > X8 > X3 > nothing else comes after this, you guys
More replacements, for the sole and exclusive purpose of murdering JPEG artifacts that only I will care about:
Nope.
But Photoshop is a kind of magic. A bit blurrier than I'd like, but the sharpen filters do more harm than good.
(c.f. the original)
The OP looks great so far. Pretty excited for the crossover! The covers are fantastic too, so much references to the games. I cannot wait to see how the comic itself will turn out!
For me it's actually between X1 and X2. I'm really leaning towards X2... but there was just something about X1, I think it may have been the presentation. X4 is pretty close though, it was the game that really got me into the series. MMBN3 was my first but it didn't do all that much for me (even though it's a great game, and still is). All 3 of those games are very fantastic, I wouldn't mind replaying them!
HERE I COME, ROUGHER THAN THE REST OF THEM!
THE BEST OF THEM, TOUGHER THAN LEATHER!
YOU CAN CALL ME KNUCKLES
UNLIKE SONIC I DON'T CHUCKLE

I've only ever really paid attention to video game music so I have very limited experience with rap but I really like the Knuckles raps.

X8 better than X3? Ehhhh, I found X8 wayy too masochistic to be any fun most of the times. Then again, it has better gameplay. I really wished the level design wasn't so awful though.
Asura's Wrath is the best anime.
I guess it's just the last form of the last boss that gets a little too crazy for me, but I guess it's when you play it as Zero is why as beating it with Zero is a lot harder than with X. The two forms before it I enjoy, and I can't say I outright dislike the last form, but it's not something I can really praise either.
My favorite of the X games (I still haven't played X6 X7 X8) are X and and X4
Classic: 7 (favorite) and 8
And I like 10 more than 9 as I felt 9 was too much trial and error, keep dying to progress for my tastes. Although 9's OST is great, especially Splash Woman and Concrete Man. Although even though it got on my nerves a bit, still enjoyed MM9.

Replaced. Thanks!
Where would you like to put that Worlds Collide banner in the thread? At the top? Or are you using it as the Worlds Collide banner? I'll edit it in to where you want.
Yeah, I doubt you'd have the patience for a lot of the CGs and the character interaction/design at all. I wouldn't play it, really. I can grin and bear it if it's a game where I'm enjoying the game part of the game, but not when it's overwhelmingly affecting my enjoyment of the game at all (like the first Neptunia). I like to joke that this is what video games have become like in Japan, but sometimes I wonder. I don't really appreciate it, tbh. And I don't really appreciate that it seems to be taking a main precedence or focus in game dev / art design in some games I'd like to play either.
Ah yes... I heard about that nonsense. It's really disappointing and I definitely empathize because it annoys the shit out of me too. :/
You know my feelings about this. Don't make me repeat myself.
Might start it tomorrow. I tried DmC a little bit tonight and realized I didn't want to play it anymore.OMG Aero said:

X8 is certainly several steps above the two games that precede it but I could never in good conscious put it above any of the first five games in the series while a quarter of its Maverick stages are naff vehicle levels.
Stick it up top, I'm not sure what I'm doing with the second one yet.
More nitpicky tweaks:
I don't know why the original art for these two is so desaturated, but they stuck out in a bad way. More color!
Also the first question in the Sonic section got cut off somewhere along the line.

Thanks! Fixed.
Yeah, I was wondering about where it went in the draft, but I edited it back in. Should be good now. Anything else?
Granted, because I haven't played X4 in a while, I'm sure the final boss will give me a run for my money because of how rusty I am. I could no-hit this game no problem before. Now I can just do it for a few bits. The game itself is still easy, though.
Ah, you missed when I went back through 10 in an attempt for a no death run and I got pissed that I died at the last possible place I could die! Ahaha. And then I lost my entire composure, decided to keep a save before the Wily stages and just progressed to the end. Really sucks because I reset a lot and I was actually going to get it done too. At the end, though, I came out of 10 liking the level design more than 9. I'm still fond of both games, and I think of them on equal terms. Noi replayed 9 the other day and I don't think he likes it as much now, lol.
As for classic, I'm biased, so 2, 3, and 5 are my mains. I like 9&10 as well. But I've come to like 4 and 8 a little more now than I did before. 4 Complete Works was fun and I think I might give it another playthrough a little later on to see if it'll make it a main. 8, well, I wrote a post about 8. I ended up thinking it was okay.
Koko, don't play X6 and X7. They aren't worth it.

I'll play any MM game that lets me use Zero.

I have played lots of games, I still don't find it to be as bad as people say it is (I'd agree the Werehog stages could've been better though)
Then again I find that people just say that because they subconsciously need to trash talk a Sonic game, poor blokes the lot of them *sigh*
So who do you guys 'main' in Sonic Fighters? I mostly use Bean, cuz he's my fav. comic character =P
