「ロックマンX DiVE」Rockman X DiVE — Chapter 3 (Cut-scenes) JP
Our next stop is Burning Noumander’s stage (or Flame Mammoth’s stage if you’re not familiar with his japanese name). Yet again, from X1. Capcom does like X1 a lot, y’know. I actually remember this envoirment really well. I started to play in Irregular Hunter X, like, 2 years ago, and I didn’t beat it. But the first stage I tried to beat after that iconic intro was Burning Noumander’s. It was really hard but I... failed. Anyway, because of how much time I’ve wasted on it, I remember it quite well. Even frozen variant that does not appear in X DiVE sadly. That would be fun.
This chapter is boring. Really. I’ll give you a quick summary:
0. It has nothing to do with the chapter itself, it’s just me.
I’ve accidentely deleted the recording of fifth stage that actually had a dialogue at the beginning. I needed to logout and start the game as a guest, beat everything before 3-5 stage and not use Gacha because I could accidentally get S-rank character on the account I’ll not use after this. I used Gacha 2 times, but it wasn’t x10 Gacha and the only thing I got from there is A-rank Ice-sprayer weapon. At least I didn’t get Ferham in that Gacha.
I’m telling you this so you’ll not ask me why my nickname changed to ダミーファイル ツ at one point. (It translates to ’Dummy File’, by the way. And ツ suppose to be a smiley face. I’m really creative XD)
1. Chapter starts with Glitch-sama (my nickname for Former Deep Log Admin which looks like corrupted data of Zero’s first body) telling us about where are we right now. Explaination was followed by RiCO being upset because he introduced it to Player-san, not RiCO herself.
2. We meet another sub-boss at third stage. I’ve never played X2 at all, but when this Gigantic Mechaniloid (To be more precise, CF-0) appeared, I knew it was from SNES titles and 100% not from first game. This thing looks so funny in 3D. Especially when it jumps from side to side while looking towards the screen and not moving his body at all.
This one also has ability to speak. Why am I not suprised?
3. I. Hate. This. Boss.
This main boss is called Randa Banda W. It’s from X5. The main problem here is a flame that comes out of egg-shaped part of Randa Banda W. When it comes out, walls will try to push the player into the spikes that will appear on the floor while that flame will chase the player. Maybe I’m really bad at playing in Rockman, maybe DiVE just lags really hard on my PC, but OH MY GOD, I can’t even imagine how hard this boss is in X5. If you didn’t know, in X DiVE, spikes a dealing a huge amount of damage to player (1\6 of the full health I think?). But as you all probably know, in all of Rockman games since the very first one spike insta-kill you.
Thank you, Capcom for not ruining my sanity here. I needed to use 2 continues, but at least spikes does not insta-kill you here. Pretty much like falling in the bottomless pit or in lava.
After this awful beast was defeated, RiCO and Glitch-sama praise Player-san and we return to the base.
