Ten months without any posts in the X series forum, which used to be where the most heated debates took place, is pretty sad. I didn't even notice.
We used to be able to make a lot of theories about how things came to be plot-wise, or how they'd be going in the future. The Zero series cleared up some elements on the future front, but with no games on the horizon and no willingness from Capcom to cover the past (besides the failed reboot attempt at Maverick Hunter X), it sometimes feels like everything was said.
The X games are some of my favorite titles to go back to and replay once in a while. It's too bad we've got nothing new but a random figure being released once in a while.
