Mega Man X3 has Zero Problems

  • When it comes to Mega Man games I ended up skipping over Mega Man X3 and went straight to 4. Now I'm able to revisit it for New Game Plus but some of the Completionist factors still bother me. Mainly, why aren't you rewarding me for collecting all the chips? At least you get to play as the super cool Maverick hunter Zero! But wait, did you know he has perma-death? That's a feature for some reason. As lackluster this game may be to me, it is also one of the hardest and most expensive Mega Man games to find on the SNES. Let's dive in to see what Mega Man X3 does right and wrong, with very special guest star.

    Mega Man X and his trusty partner Zero have a new force to reckon with. Who or what has caused a riot of Mavericks to break out in the experimental utopia known as Doppler Town? Named after the scientist reploid, Doppler Town was supposed to be a place where humans and reploids could live in harmony. After discovering a virus that was turning reploids to Mavericks, Doppler's anti-virus was a big success. But Doppler itself became infected with the virus and assembled a team to take out the Maverick Hunter Units. The Doppler Effect is about to unfold, with Mega Man X and Zero the only cure for the deadly virus!

      Hey Jirard! Are any long taking games in the completion process?
      If not may I recommend Hitman 3 with the content of Hitman 2, and 2016 taken into it?
      It would take long, be partially frustrating with challenges like the „king of the castle“ challenge on the isle of sgail, but be also a ton of fun with the highest replayability I‘ve seen in a game.
      Just a game to considerate, when wanting to complete another giant of the stealth genre.

    The X series was created to bring completion to the average player, and I still get uncomfortable trying to figure out how to deal with X3. I also don't understand why no one has hacked X3 just to be more like X4, where you can trade the optional parts back and forth. Just being able to collect each item makes it leagues better.

    Mega man X3 might be one of the most perfectly fine game I’ve ever played. It’s level design? It’s fine not amazing not bad it works some parts are pretty well designed others are annoying so it’s just sort of fine. The character designs? A few stand out but most are just fine. The story? Well it’s fine it works it’s told well enough. The new ideas like zero, the ride armors, and the chips? Well they are cool additions but they weren’t executed all that great so they are just fine. Not saying the games bad I do enjoy it but its just kind of fine.

      This game is my enemy. Bad design with needing particular items to progress with the new armor and ride on armor mechanics which totally ruined rewarding players going out their way, defying death, and thinking outside the box to reach them. Sigma’s palace is also a long play through and you have to sit down the entire play time just to beat it. You cannot save it after beating a palace and must start from the beginning if you turn your console off. Who has time for that in this day and age

      I agree with the level design.. There are sections for ride armor use that should have been longer.. Makimg the collecting and usefullness of them more rewarding.
      The charged shot should have had more implementations to make it go off while jumping more satisfying..
      A lot of enemies are staged tanks and dont feel satisfying to beat if they reapear with just a few steps to the left..
      There is no reward in taking so long to beat something if it reapears in an instance..
      Pacing is another problem it suffers with..
      The special weapons should let you cruise through levels at a steady pace but unfortunately only the triad thunder (sanda) lets you do so.. The spining blade is ok but is no storm tornado or bubble splash..
      Zero should have been able to collect the power ups exept the capsules of course but i personally feel he should have been able to fight bosses and get unique dialog from it like bit and bite..
      Any who the chip system really needs work as well.. Overall i really love this game the same way i love X6.. I like bad games because they make me think how to have the better most benefiting outcome through my actions..

    Just feel like shooting this comment out into the void. X3 was and still is my favorite of the snes games. I will say it was the first MMX game I played and my mind was blown as a kid getting the upgrades and stuff after being used to the regular mega man games on nes. Besides that nostalgia that I get from this game I think there are other reasons that make this game so good.
    Of course being able to play as Zero is awesome! Even if it does have that dumb death mechanic. Playing as him in the opening level was awesome! Bit and Byte were badasses! The return of Vile. The completely underrated music. The best looking of the first three x armors. The gold armor! Air dashing and even two air dashes with the gold armor or enhancement chip. The different ride armors. I personally liked the bosses and enjoyed the variety of the levels.
    Overall I can understand a little bit as to why this one gets a bit of a bad rap but to me it’s the best of the first 3 x games. Feels like it just has a little bit more than the first 2. Anyway this post most likely will never be seen but feels good telling the void how badass x3!

Getting a flying ride armor isn't like "oh my god i can fly and fuck shit up", it's "ok i gotta remember to click the 'flying ride armor' button on the designated ride armor panel when it's time to get [power up that requires flying]".
    This game just put in a lot of extra _stuff_ but it doesn't feel like there's a lot of extra _impact._

    I never saw getting the Z-Saber as part of completion because it forced you into a worse ending than keeping Zero around. Yes, it's a minor change in the ending dialogue and you don't see both X and Zero running through the credits at the end, but to me, that felt way more important than bait like a "bonus weapon" as much as the Z-Buster was a bonus weapon in X1.

    Funny thing about this game is. Whenever I played it. I used the hack where Zero doesn't perma-die. Though, it lowers his health to something closer to X's. It also let him use the boss weapons X got. It actually made the game a lot more tolerable difficulty-wise. Since you could actually use the two in tandem. It was like having two healthbars (in these levels where enemies hit like freight trains).
    Ironically, Zero started out as the best character in that hack, but it ends with X being the best for sure.... Kinda reflects X's arc perfectly.

    For me, X3 was the least enjoyable of the SNES trilogy because of the music (the instrumentation compared to X and X2 sounded very off, like badly pitched versions of the samples, and the melodies themselves were boring and generic) and relatively uninspired level design. It was further compounded the moment I first saw the TAS playthrough of all three SNES MMX games simultaneously with the same controller inputs.

  • @AltimeterAlligator

    If you ever get a chance to play X3 outside of work, try a buster-only run. Bosses in particular benefit from the extra challenge, since they're all movement-focused this time around, with dash attacks that hit like trucks. Even goofy Sigma 2 has a cool pattern.

  • @jellord

    I played it as a kid still own my cart and I like it a lot. I thought the chip system gave it more replayability cause I was excited when I discovered it. I remember finding the empty room where the gold armor was and having to figure out what to do to get the capsule to appear. It was during a play through where I decided to get everything but the pink capsules for an extra challenge since some of them made the game easier. Shit my pants when I found it. I played it so much I would beat all the levels with zero and bosses with x. Imagine my surprise when he didn't warp away when I approached the boss door thinking it would swap automatically like in every other level.

    Like others have said, there's a rom hack called Megaman X3 Zero Project that fixed every single issue with the game, even some of the controls are more responsive, and makes it way more fun to collect everything. Originally it was intended to just make Zero actually playable, but it became a much bigger project with the time. I wasn't too fond of X3 either, but after playing that rom hack it became one of my favorite X games ever, up there with X1 and X4. Check it out, you'll love it!

    How could someone miss out on Mega Man X3 back in the 90s? Back then while hard to buy in stores it was on Blockbuster and similar game rental stores. Hell I got it for cheap once they started to sell their SNES games which is how I got Mega Man X2 and X3 back then. I did end up selling them much later when I needed the money, it was a nice sum dont get me wrong but I still miss owning both games.

  • @tristenj1992

    My biggest complaint with X3 is the extreme difficulty curve. At the beginning of the game you're getting 2 shotted and dying constantly and it feels impossible to make any real headway, but when you finally break through that wall, the game eventually becomes way too easy.

    I completely understand the complaints about this game across the board. I do have nostalgia goggles when I play it still to this day but I appreciate everything this game brought to the formula. Things like a resurrected Vile and different bosses based on the optional bosses beat and such. Gold armour, pink chips, and Zero's beam saber were cool additions. Also all the main bosses having a kind of rage mode near the end of the fight was a nice change up. I remeber it being more difficult then the previous X games too.
    This is still my second favorite of the X games.

    I remember not liking it as much as the first two, Zero being only "kinda" playable was kind of annoying, I hated the chip system and the way they play into getting the Ultimate Armor, wasn't a fan of the Final Boss having such a small hitbox. I did like Vile's theme though, easily the best part about the game.
    Nonetheless, I always enjoy seeing you complete the Mega Man games. They're always some of the most entertaining videos you make. As always, looking forward to the next Completionist, and the next NG+.

  • @apexnova2947

    Ok so one of my biggest issues with X3 is how the armor power ups are obtained. In the previous games you can, for the most part, get each armor piece is whatever order you desire, the only exception is needing one or two specific weapons prior. In this game you will literally find yourself getting armor in the same order every time, and the head armor piece is practically useless, by the time you get it you have almost everything since its locked behind an obstacle that has to be dealt with a charged up special move
