[Voodoomancer]

This is the most random and awesome thing I've heard all week.

I'm pretty sure megaman x3 has one level where my Michelle is the background music too. They sure like them some GnR, although I'm surprised there was fan backlash, it's just a pretty cool thing to add for laughs.

I'm contemplating making the picture my avatar.

I have to agree, 'cause that Rose Boss looks fucking badass.

 

[Artemicion]

What a wonderful story. I wonder if all the songs for the levels have a taste of GNR in them too.

X5 was an awesome game. I think I'm going to get a new ps2 so I can replay it. Also, was it me or was it impossible to play as Zero in that game? Or maybe I just sucked at him. I beat it as X.

 

[Genixma]

Thanks for just noticing...

Man X5 was a good one.
Not as good as 4 and a little bleh with how they handled X and Zero, but a good end to the series.
Or it should have been.
6 was meh and i never ever ever want to play 7 after what i heard they did to X and Zero's characters.
Not to mention the overall gameplay itself.

No more talking about X6. X6 was poo-poo.

Yeah, so isn't this exciting? I have that game sitting on my shelf still, and just yesterday I was doing some checking up on the MMX universe. I've known about this for a long time, it's cool that now we know who's behind this little bit of trivia. It was a big thumbs-up for the band and it never depicted them in a negative light, so it could almost have been their advertisement. It's the sort of thing you usually have to pay for!

Backlash over Guns n' Roses references?

What's the world coming to?

I can understand it. Some of the original names in that game were wicked-cool, like Dark Necrobat. That sounds like a twisted evil name, doesn't it?

 

[Hyrulian Hero]

Randomly, a Resident Evil voice actor is now known as the one responsible for naming Mega Man X5's bosses after members of Guns N' Roses.

That's very interesting, but don't call me Randomly.

Are you implying that you are Alyson Court, or are you referring to your screen name?

Because as much as I doubt the former I think it would be an interesting coincidence.

Really? You didn't get the Leslie Neilson reference? Damn... now I DO feel old!

 

[theklng]

this made me rewatch mmx5 and x6 speedruns just for the hell of it.

 

[Fappy]

They did something similar in Chrono Trigger. Ozzie, Slash and Flea XP

 

[Solo-Wing]

Awesome. My favorie boss is Izzy Glow who is named after Izzy Stradlin. Awesome.

Oh and I am doing a Walkthrough of X5 on youtube as well. I throwing this in as a side thing in the Annotations.

It wouldn't have been so bad had they remembered to fix the instruction manual.
