Phantom Roxas Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I've been playing the first game on the Zero Collection's Easy Scenario. Either that title is a lie, or the normal difficulty is absolutely brutal. Still, I've been liking the game so far, although censoring death with "retired" is just pathetically cheesy.

Just Crouton Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Normal difficulty is a nightmare. Zero, especially the first game, and ZX focus more on survival than the rest of the series. You have to conserve health and have all Sub-Tanks full when you confront the boss or you're screwed. It's a tense thrill though. Kind of like the Resident Evil of Megaman. Enter the Survival Platformer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I fought Anubis or whatever his name was, and his zombies were complete BS. They ganged up on me, so I was completely trapped. I couldn't move away, so I was forced to watch as Zero was slowly killed. Considering how early into the game I am, either there's a huge learning curve, or this game is just that difficult throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 People thing Zero games are hard? Lol *has played megaman since the age of 5* The only hard aspect tbh is the cryptic chain of quests that can royally f*** you over at Neo Arcadia if you manage to skip all the important stuff. I vote Zero 2 as hardest mostly because of annoying bad stage design. Oh also because I caught a ninja as I was typing this, the learning curve is stupidly steep in Z1, but hat's why you go back to the starting area and max level your saber, as well as leveling the buster till you get quick charge.

[/quote] After you beat the second mandatory level, go back to the intro lab and kill those respawning spiders to grind your weapons and farm for crystals. The Z-Saber has a charge attack after a certain level which is crazy with the element chips. Feed the crystals to special cyber-elves (I don't know where they are, but they tell you what they do) and use them to max your health gauge (heart tanks aren't in this game. Again, the survival aspect I mentioned previous post.) You'll last longer, the game is easier, but you permanently get a reduced ranking for using Cyber-Elves (like how in Resident Evil, using First Aid Sprays ruin your final score) which means nothing in Z1 from what I can tell. Make sure you don't finish the second intro lab mission before you do this, because the place gets wrecked after that mission, and you can't grind anymore.

Resident Fascist Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Zero 2 is the hardest Zero 4 is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greiga Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 His body was in peices actually. One could argue his memory chip and even helmet could have been found and made into Biometal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence X's line: "It's the heart that counts. Not the body." Also Zero has been revived multiple times so, If his Memory Chip was found he could be rebuilt, I guess.

I won't hesitate, if an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it! Ciel, Believe in me!" Is my favorite line from the entire series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
❤ Lovely Warrior ❤ Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 He has that one personality I hate the most. The dark avenger with the sad back story... The same Sasuke, Shadow, and Cloud have and I don't like any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 His backstory isn't that sad as he didn't do any of the stuff by his own will, it was his Zero Virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
❤ Lovely Warrior ❤ Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I still don't like him. If the games stared Bass or Protoman or Roll I might like them more but Zero just acts like a douche and his only emotion is anger. :T I do not and never will like Zero. But I will say the gameplay for the games are different and I think its fun. Makes it feel more RPGish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Okay fine your opinion is valid, but the games are really amazing and you should just ignore that Zero is the main character and think of it as someone else. Apart from the characters calling him "Zero" he looks nothing like Zero so you could call him something else. All I'm saying is just try the games.

❤ Lovely Warrior ❤ Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have played the games (As a hack with Amy Rose over Zero X3) and they are fun but they seem a little to similar to other platforming shooter games but the same can be said for all shooter platformers.

Resident Fascist Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I found them way different than the rest of the series because of how fast Zero moves, and how much emphasis there is on Cyber Elves. I personally like them a lot and a console port version with higher res sprites and the MYTHOS music would be amazing, or atleast in my opinion.

DSS Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Great series, sweet soundtrack, regarding gameplay mechanics, if you play the game using a keyboard you'll have less trouble clearing the game while using a controller = hell mode , this is of course from a personal experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resident Fascist Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Bass had way less character development than Zero and fits the bill of "Generic Emo" more than Zero, to be brutally honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
