Despite paying decent cash for the Megaman and X collections, I must admit that I never played beyond X4 on the collections because 5 just sucked so bad.
I think I did far better on the MM collection, but am not sure just now.

I played through all of both collections, getting to at least Wily's Castle in every game except MM7. I found that game impossibly difficult, because Mega takes up one quadrant of the screen. This is why I much prefer and actually beat Mega Man 7-FC.

Interesting. still, another game has grabbed my attention. I decided to give Star Wars: The Force Unleashed another go, and for whatever reason this time I actually got into the gameplay . . . I am starting to do awesome things- I'm actually enjoying it! eek

I'm glad you're enjoying it now!
Yeah, I know how it is to be caught among several things you want to do at once.
I just got 2 USB Sega Saturn controllers the other day (Sega made them several years back, but they weren't distributed outside of Asia). I know I'll be having some genuinely fun times with fighting games and emulators when they arrive in a few weeks.

To each their own. I stick to consoles, because with the notable exception of the RROD, they don't have nearly the same issues that PC gaming has. To have a superior system is nothing if one cannot make it work.

I too love console gaming; I just appreciate how PCs can emulate ancient consoles and how laptops specifically provide relative portability. Plus, a computer is usually the only platform most indie developers release their games on.
I guess, being a computer nerd, I've never had too many issues/problems/incompatabilities with gaming on my computer (though the games I play don't really push my system's specs, Portal notwithstanding).
The new Xbox slim (or whatever they chose to call it) is reported to have the RROD problem as well. I almost feel bad for Microsoft...

More like the red DOT of death. RDOD . . .
and I am not a computer nerd, even though I know enough to work my way around. I fear screwing my system up by trying to install a game that has more complex instructions than "Click Here." stare

[rant]Understandably so. As much as computers become increasingly *cringe*"user-friendly"*cringe*, the complexity and volume of information the average user must know is ludicrous. I used to be a master of doing anything that needed tweaking in Windows XP. Now with Vista and then 7 (and 8 coming along in 2 years), I find it difficult to keep up with the knowhow. Of course, it doesn't help that Microsoft has made some erribly bad dcisions regading intuitive menu design. Worst of all, Microsoft seems to enjoy, with each successive version of Windows, bury the useful features and settings so deeply under the "helpful" garbage that one needs internet tutorials in order to find out how to do things. And it isn't that Microsoft is trying to prevent inexperienced users from screwing up with computer, because it is still far too simple to genuinely destroy your installation of Windows. They also need to take more time to develop an OS and release fewer. The gap after XP was marvelous. I will agree that i dragged on a bit too long after a while (in the area of 64-bit support especially), but Vista is the result of Microsoft getting to comfortable. Honestly, the biggest problem with Microsoft is the change in focus that happened some time between XP and Vista. With all the versions of Windows up to XP, Microsoft focused on making their OS slim, efficient, and business-oriented. That the consumer market used the products as well was just a bonus. With Vista, Microsoft geared it toward users and forsaked businesses (their real cash cows). I can understand that they were attempting to keep up with Apple (not like they were gaining much market share anyway), but listening to the masses all the time is ignorance. On a mass scale, people often don't truly realize what they wnt when weighed with factors they don't colectively fully understand. They can't comprehend that nearly demanding Microsoft make a "pretty" OS like Apple takes valuable development time away from refining the NT kernel and basic operations. As a result, Microsoft gave the masses what they asked for, bloated Vista. And (in true mass fashion) once the masses saw the results of what they had asked for, they threw it in Microsoft's face and blamed them! Now, Microsoft is to blame for being so naive, but I guess expecting the masses to possess any amount of introspection is asking for a miracle.[/rant]

Well, I certainly got carried away there...
Nearly became a political rant, eh?

eek . . . wow. I haven't seen a rant like that in a while.
Would take some serious Transformer bashing to get me to rant like that!

Vista has been bothering me more than usual as of late, I'm too lazy to upgrade to 7 (I get it for free from my college), I've come across several unexpected incompatabilities due to my OS being 64-bit, and I loathe Microsoft in general. I guess those factors all piled upon each other were the cause for my anger.
EDIT: The new Transformers game you mentioned looks pretty fun!

I'm about halfway through the first half. The gameplay is set up similar to Starcraft in that the chronological story is Decepticons, then Autobots instead of two parallel campaigns. It does play well as a cover-based shooter, but I feel as though this is a generic war game with transformation added in. sweatdrop

the gameplay is a tad repetitive, and thus far only gaining a weapon unusable by bot mode is the only reason to tform. It is fun, and I do enjoy it, especially the world. For instance, turrets are 'manable' by literally interfacing with it and becoming the turret. While in place, the gun has unlimited ammo, but you can rip it off and take the gun with you at the cost of limited ammo.
Nothing like taking a gun as big as you are with you.

That's too bad, but I'm sure its better than many past Transformers titles.
That's pretty unique; if only more games let you rip out a fixed turret. xd
