Not sure I will grab the X collection. I still have the PS2 hooked up with X Collection already in it. Stuck/left off on X5 and from what I hear it's all down hill from there. I guess it's worth it if I want to take it on the go, or play handheld, but with side scrollers, I actually like paying attention to every detail and I often get distracted if I play games on the go. Also still want to get through the regular Mega Man series.

Mostly. From what I remember, X5 was suppose to be the finale for the series that would then lead into the Zero series, but the higher ups decided to screw it up by wanting X6. X7 is a shitshow. But X8 is actually really good, albeit breaking a number of X conventions, such as replacing heart containers with an upgrade shop (though Zero gets a number of new weapons, so YMMV in this regard if you want a traditional Megaman X experience.

I actually do own a copy of X8. I played through maybe the first level and found myself to be pretty impressed. I've seen videos on X7 but I'll eventually play through it. I am only stuck on X5 because I was trying to get the right ending or whatever ending is considered canon. But at this point, it's been a few years since I've booted it up, so I'll probably just finish the way it is and get whatever ending I get and move on.
