Update + Mega Man X8 on June 3rd

It's great to be back on Cyborg Haven again.  I was recovering from a bilateral tonsillectomy (both tonsils were removed) so while I was living on liquid Vicodin, antibiotics, applesauce, apple juice and Gatorade, I couldn't update Cyborg Haven on time.  Even after eating more types of soft foods, I was still tired and sick because of the medicine.  But now I am well enough to return and  share my gaming experiences.  Yayyy!

So here is the blog post I meant to put up that week of my surgery.  There are a few other posts I wanted to complete by this time, but for now enjoy this update on my progress for Mega Man X8

I went to the Optic Sunflower stage to find armor parts for X. See, in the Stage Select screen if it says that a stage is “30% Complete,” then there must be something that X needs to get there, so one of my characters that I choose to play MUST be X (preferably with his Neutral Armor on). And of course Axl goes with him! (Sorry Zero : P)


After defeating Gigavolt Man-o-War at the Dynasty Stage, the heroes got these weapons:

X: Thunder Dancer

Axl: Plasma Gun

Zero: Raikousen

I still have yet to fight the Avalanche Yeti in the snowy level. It’s really fun and I get a lot of metals in this stage, but 98% of the time that the characters die, it’s because they fall into one of the pits. I haven’t reached the Maverick yet in this stage since I keep falling into the pits. Well, it is the last Maverick. Meanwhile I wanted to at least acquire X’s other armor parts so he can be powered up to fight harder bosses. There is still one other weapon X needs to find along with the last special weapon. Is it the Giga Attack chip? I dunno.

In the Mining stage, I found a breakable rock that was blocking some barrels, behind which there was a capsule. I wanted to get to it, but that big ol’ Mechanaloid was trying to shoot at X and Axl. After fighting that big thing as a sub-boss, I checked back after it started walking away, then found that the rock was gone. I was able to burn up the barrels and get to the capsule, where X got his Body Parts I.

There are still three areas/stages that have an item X still needs: Pitch Black, Primrose, and Booster Forest. I thought I’d still have to get one in Inferno too (the Burn Rooster stage) but I ended up getting that one that night as well. It took a while since there were a lot of spikes on the walls and on the floors to avoid. I had to go down a few levels, and then jump to a wall on the side and wall-jump up alternate sides to avoid spikes on either side. So Axl was the best go-to-Reploid for this stage. Axl is basically like insurance. Hah hah ha! Right before this wall, Axl had to fall then I had to push the hover button (X for a second jump) to hover over to the side wall. And I had to time it right or Axl would fall onto the spikes. After at least thirty deaths, Axl manages to get to where the capsule is, and X obtained his Foot Parts H. Dr. Light’s hologram tells X that these will help him “gain speed in movement.” I tried it out, and it certainly does.

After saving, and Chip Development, I went to the stage select to just do a brief play in the Intermission for the prologue stage. But it turned out, that there was an emergency intermission for the Inferno Stage! A hole developed in the volcano and X and the others are needed to see how deep it goes. It was almost 2am. I said, why the hell not, this will be the last thing I do before I stop playing for the night. I chose Zero, and big mistake. HE doesn’t run as fast as the other characters because he is carrying his saber with him. Ergh, sloooowww! After a few times with Zero, I tried X with his new foot parts and I can definitely feel the difference in the speed. He got more metals than Zero too. After those, I had enough and stopped playing for the night.

This game is so much fun! One of these days though, I’d like to return to Mega Man X3 or Mega Man X4 again. I love the music and game play for both.
