Are you playing all the games, or something? MM4 was yesterday. XD
...But is it better than TWO?

I like Beat, Core and Void the most, but I'm not sure in which order. Runner was alright, but it just kind of felt like it could have been made by anyone. I liked the series initially for its weird creativity, not as much for making you do things to a certain rhythm (although that does really help and I do enjoy that). Fate was alright, but just a little passable. I'd say I liked it more than Runner though, if only for the freedom you regained.
Can't believe what happened at the end of Fate, and I wonder how they're gonna wrap up his life in Flux. Rumor has it that it will be a return to basics ala Beat.

I_love_Inuyasha1 Are you playing all the games, or something? MM4 was yesterday. XD ...But is it better than TWO? I am. I got the Anniversary Collection about a month ago or maybe more and am playing through them all. It's not better than 2, but it is surprisingly good, and a lot of things in it just surprise me. I'd say... 2 > 5 = 3 > 4 = 1? Maybe.

I'd say... 2 > 5 = 3 > 4 = 1? Maybe. Oh cool. I was thinking about getting that. But... other games. Lack of any money. Once I get money I'll want Epic Disney and DKCR... And maybe GoldenEye. I've never heard people talk about 5 that much. How would you rank difficulty thus far? I can't beat 9 or 10. Two was easy. One was hard. oh god that equation has TWO EQUAL SIGNS

9 seems really hard in comparison, but I'm probably just getting a lot better. 3 is alright until you fight the MM2 bosses again, then it's stupid hard, but then it goes back to being alright to beat. 4 wasn't terribly hard, and five seems to be about the same. I think they were trying to make 9 way too difficult, and having the slide and charge shot makes 4 and up seem a bit easier, even though I have a turbo fire button.
I haven't heard people talk about 5 either. It does some neat stuff though, like there's a space stage (Star Man) and it has low gravity, which yeah, is kinda like the water stages, but it's space and they never do that. Gravity Man's stage reminds me of Mario Galaxy's mechanics, with you switching from floor to ceiling, and the boss fight with him is really crazy, flipping from floor to ceiling over and over while he does the opposite. You drive a skidoo in Wave Man's stage, there's one of those moving snakes like in Super Mario World where you have to stay on it as it goes on a designated path and other cool stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting. It's refreshing after playing the first four games to see some actual outside-the-box thinking.
That said, the music isn't very good.

Yeah, probably. Okay, those don't sound too bad. Yay for slide and charge~ Ha, yeah. They did do that for 9...
Wow. That's really neat. I thought they did that for Galaxy Man... I don't remember at all XD Oh sweet. Oh double sweet. Yay for robot masters that MATCH STAGE MECHANICS! oh god galaxy <3
Oh nice. I've seen vehicles in the X series but not in the regular. =D
Ah, yes. Those block snakes...
Oh s**t. That's one of the reasons... The only reason I got MM2. The megas! Oh my god the music heart

Well, I wouldn't have bought Runner without CV heart XD
Even though it was a pre-existing genre, I think they did more with it. Instead of just jumping and charging (CHASE YOUR DREAMS... YOU WILL FAIL) or just jumping it added more flavor to it. It's more extensive. Bosses. Crazy backgrounds. GOLD.

Oh my god the music heart I really don't get why the slide and charge aren't in 9 and 10. They wanted it to be like 2, because everyone loved that one, sure, but they didn't dislike 3 and on for having easier ways to kill enemies and get around. Galaxy Man's stage doesn't have the gravity thing, it just has the grabby things. What an annoying stage. 3 has really good music. Then it kind of fades off. Some of the songs aren't bad, but I dunno. I_love_Inuyasha1 Well, I wouldn't have bought Runner without CV heart XD Even though it was a pre-existing genre, I think they did more with it. Instead of just jumping and charging (CHASE YOUR DREAMS... YOU WILL FAIL) or just jumping it added more flavor to it. It's more extensive. Bosses. Crazy backgrounds. GOLD. Eh, I suppose. It's just my least favorite, I think. I still like it, but I just like the other games more for being totally new experiences. I've seen, thought about and/or played a game like Runner before, and while Runner is good, challenging and addictive, I admire the style, creativity and abstractness of Beat/Core/Void.

Also, I agree that Fate is passable. The stages are really long... and annoying. XD And it's not very innovative either. Oh, now you can move! Yeah, ON A RAIL. (I guess I don't really like shooting with the 'mote too. Eh.
I guess I like Beat more, because I can actually BEAT (that will never get old) the first stage. Core is probably more fun, but I fail at it XD Void is just all around fun... and EASIER OH GOD.

Core is probably more fun, but I fail at it XD Void is just all around fun... and EASIER OH GOD. Fate at least did some cool stuff. Moving back and forth on a rail while dodging predetermined bullets by itself is a unique take on shmup movement, and then the core thing was kind of neat too (I still want to take credit for that with my fanart). I liked the backgrounds more than Runner and the bosses were probably the coolest looking in the series (although Beat/Core/Void had "little" to work with), especially the skull guy. I love Beat, Core is hard, but when you get it, it feels really great, and Void is chill and relaxing.

Oh god the two pronged quote.
I know, right? Protoman's slide doesn't count because he sucks! XD It's not like people liked 2 because it didn't have slide and charge! Oh yeah. The grabbers. DX That was annoying... but also the easiest stage. I meant 5. I like 3's (SPARKMAN~)
Sure, that's understandable. That was the main reason I bought all the games. They're so... new! And creative! (I hope Flux is creative...)
