This Games, or Megaman 11

[FreshPrince]

Hi All

If i have to choose one Megaman Only to play, which one should i choose?
Megaman 11 or Mega Man X DiVE Offline?

If you want to play a more traditional platforming game with the classic "8 bosses each weak to one of the other's weapons" structure that can be beaten relatively quickly, MM11 is a very solid choice, and if you enjoy the other classic Mega Man games you will probably enjoy 11 quite a bit.

If you're more of a fan of later series such as X, Zero, and ZX and don't really mind the gameplay structure being very different and having more RPG-like elements to it, or even if you just really like crossovers of any kind, X DiVE Offline can provide a lot of enjoyment value for hours on end and features many fan favorites as playable characters such as Mega Man, Protoman, Bass, Roll, X, Zero, Z series Zero, Ciel, Aile, Mega Man Volnutt, Roll Caskett, Tron Bonne, Mega Man.exe, Protoman.exe, Bass.exe, and Geo Stelar, among many others. You can think of this game as something of a celebration of the series history, and is also the game with the bigger modding community.

Overall, just pick whichever of the two suits your personal tastes better. There's no wrong answer, they're both good games.

Mega Man 11's more of a proper game, since X DiVE is a watered down Mega Man X gacha game but the gacha part was removed but it's still watered down. I guess it's up to whether you prefer to play Mega Man for its gameplay (in which case get Mega Man 11) or you just like the characters (X DiVE has a huge roster of playables + skins, but the game itself is barely better than X6 💀💀)

11 and its not even close.

Like said above, X Dive is a mobile game. So its watered down and a shallow version of what actual Megaman X design usually is. Its quantity over quality.

It's not watered down as much as you think, and it's anything but shallow. If anything, there's far more depth here than there is in a typical MMX game. As a spinoff it's certainly different, but it's by no means a straight downgrade. It's much more of a sidegrade.

Also, there's no quantity over quality here. The quantity is certainly there, but there's quality to that quantity. That is to say, it's not a tradeoff. The game isn't of poor quality as a result of its quantity. The fact that it's sitting at nearly 90% positive reviews alone should be enough evidence of this, but as someone who's poured nearly 70 hours into the game since release I can also attest to the fact that the quality is good.

Mega Man 11 is a good mainline game. Mega Man X Dive is still fun for a spin off game.

X DiVE is higher quality than X5-8 and I will stand by that.

5, 6, and 7 sure, though I do think X5 is mostly fine. X8 is of similar quality though. There's things X8 does that I prefer over XDO and there's things XDO does that I prefer over X8, and they both have their fair share of flaws. I might prefer XDO very slightly over X8 but overall I'd consider it a sidegrade.

I hated the hell out of this game when it was mobile. Like you would not believe. But even I can't deny the stage design and mechanics were legit.

[Casual Amateur]

Even though I have both games. But.... IF you want to play original game play mega man game. How it were meant to be play. Then play Mega Man 11.

Unless you like to play Mega Man spin off that does not follow fully to original game play mega man game. Then play Mega Man X Dive.

And here other game that don't follow traditional mega man game that don't follow on original game play. Mega Man Soccer/Mega Man Battles Network series/Mega Man Command mission.

11 and X Dive are both really good but X Dive has BIG asterisk for being a mobile game. Even the grind being removed doesn't remove the mobile game design. But at the same time a MMX game you can play forever and grind at forever a little by little is a pretty decent package I'd say if your expectations are properly aligned.

X6 with the tweaks patch fixes about 90% of that game's problems and raises it to pretty dang good. Hell it's more interesting than X4 if you can get the rough edges sanded off.

Sadly it doesn't delete Blaze Heatnix's stage or High Max from the game but you can tweak it yourself to reduce Max to 32 hp and skip him.

I've always said 6 is the best X game on paper. And it's not especially close, either. They just dropped the ball super hard on a number of specific things.

I don't think anything beats X1 even though X1 needs a slightly higher difficulty, but if you use the tweaks patch to remove the save-bricking, needless grind, and dumpster the doughnut and gel bosses to much less idiotic health levels you have what is easily my second favorite X game.

Got banned for 3 days because I wasn't vague enough in my previous posts. Odd it was up a few days before it got taken down. Either a mod on a bad day saw it or someone with beef against me reported it (I have a sneaking suspicion I know who it is, as his reply to the topic came around the same time I got banned).

Anyway,

I've said X3 and X6 are good games only to those that have played enough of it to be familiar with them. Granted this is a hit against them, but it's not as bad as what word out on the street makes them sound like they are.

Disregarding IHX for a sec, I think X1 is overrated. It was a great game by 90's standards, but even by the time X8 came out, I'd say the simplicity of X1 does it less favours. I also view X4 in a similar fashion. Yet X1 and X4 seems to be the 2 best ones if you listen to the internet. X8 (and Command Mission) were my favourites.

[William Shakesman]

X4 was just boring to me and I ran it as both characters to be sure, but man if you were 12 when you first played it that'd be the COOLEST THING EVER. X1 just has the best level design on average. I'll never forgive X3 for making you shoot a crate 12 times and X8 has a literal elevator level.

Sounds like your inner child is dead.

Also I liked the elevator. X1 has one too. Actually, I think most of them have some kind of elevator mechanic, though it's usually not a whole level, and might be some variation like the ice stuff in Blizzard Wolfang's stage
