About this episode
In this episode, Chris discusses his thoughts on the controversial Mega Man X5, reflecting on his late experience with the game.
Mega Man returns to Afterglow in this episode with one of the controversial releases......do I follow with what many people claim is a sub-par release or do I have other thoughts on this game? Without spoiling it, I will say I played this game much later than a lot of others which may have tempered my opinions on it.
