10 best gaming surprises of 2021 (and 5 terrible ones)

Terrible Moment – Megaman X Dive becomes the worst kind of gacha game

I am a long-time Megaman. There is nary a Megaman game I won’t play and enjoy. I love the Battle Network games, the weird PSP ones, and bought every single remaster collection. I love the hell out of these games.

So when Megaman X Dive was announced as a mobile Megaman game where you can unlock a plethora of various characters and robot masters to play as across all of the various series I could not wait. It sounded amazing.

Then the game came out.

First off, for a game with a ton of characters, there was only one Robot Master and it was Drill Man. And for a game that really struggles with female characters, this set back any progress they made several decades. Many of the female characters had received ridiculous body types with massive implants. One of the characters had breasts so gigantic that as she fought in a crop top she literally used one hand to keep her breasts in her shirt. That’s literally part of her victory pose. Even Roll, who still has the body of a six-year-old, received a bathing suit alternate costume in an option that should immediately put you on a watch list should you use.

If anything this game gives you the feeling about anything else in the world you love when you Google Image search it without turning on Safe Search first. It was just gross and unnecessary.
