It's a fun game to play. Nothing amazing but it works for what it is.

>>12636

Armored Core 4 is good.

It was also the last good Armored Core game.

Do you think From will ever made another AC?

They said they wanna stop doing Souls-style games after DaS3.

Does an open world game exist?

Metal Wolf Chaos merely for that "holy shit AMERICA" vibe.

>>13026

ZoE is Super Robot, right?

>>13027

The way i see it.

Jehuty, Anubis, Isis (Dolores), Hathor are Supers.

Boss and other "Massproduced" OFs are borderline (IE 00 S1 Gundam, huge techgap makes seem godlike, but not actually reality warping dimension rippers, despite the Metatron), Idolo was way too flawed to really be considered a "Super" for the same reason.

LEVs (Includic Vic Viper) are Reals.

But since the main mechs are Supers, i'd say the franchise is flat out Super, even if ZoE1 was basically the start of Gundam 0079, very drawn out.

>>13027

Despite the physics breaking, in the setting the OFs are just treated as powerful weapons. You don't get the trappings you normally seen in super robot shows.

Super Robot Wars BX is amazing, glad I got CFW on my N3DS to play it

>top 3 in kill count right now are Gai, Koji and MC in that order

Is Another Century's Episode any good?

I wouldn't even ask if not for the fact the game is in Japanese and I only know like three words.

Just about any Super Robot Wars game.

>>13227

I'm with you there man, BX is great.

>>13306

That game honestly looks like it would get boring after awhile, how can you stand playing it for years?

Do they change up the game regularly?

Project Nimbus is pretty fun. Like Ace Combat with robots.

Too bad it's early access and terribly unpolished.

>>14161

That game is still being worked on?

I last year about it early last year.

>>14162

Last update was March 19 adding a new mission to Act II. Apparently its a big hit to the feels but I can't beat Thermopylae so I wouldn't know.

>>14233

You've been playing the game for several years, right? How do you still suck?

>>14234

Two weeks actually and not really that much.

>>14236

Oh, I must have mistaken you for another guy who always posts about the game

Love me some Custom Robo. The Gamecube and DS titles were rad and also the only ones westerners got. Shame the series is dead. Shame ZoE is dead too. Armored Core is dead.

It's dead Jim.

>>14246

>Armored Core is dead.

From will probably make another mecha game at some point, they've been doing it since the 90's and I don't think they'll stop just because of the Souls games.

>>14252

You really think so? ACV was a huge flop; AC4 while decently sold had mixed reviews that split the fanbase and Chromehounds was a failure that lost online play almost immediately after launch. Seems silly to throw money at another AC sequel that would inevitably sell badly (in comparison) and only confuse newcomers with the latest in a daunting list of ~20 games when they could instead throw cash at another Souls game that's exactly the same as the last one and yet rack up 10x the money from it.

>>14286

I didn't say it'd be another AC, I just said it'll be some kind of mecha game, even if it's just a Dark Souls reskin.

>>14286

ACV flopped because they tried to push online play while most didn't want it.

Chromehounds wasn't a failure at all, its servers shut down in 2010 while the game launched in 2006.

As for Souls games, From Software has mentioned that they are going to stop focusing on the series and try other things.

>>14289

>From Software has mentioned that they are going to stop focusing on the series and try other things.

Thank God, it seems they finally realised not to milk a series dry.

>>12735

xenoblade chronicles is probably the only one.

>>14300

Is that game any good, though?

I remember people calling it a "single-player MMO".

>>14301

I guess i should start off by saying you cant actually pilot a robot but you do fight robots. Anyway you could say its a single player mmo but if you are fine with that kind of commands and cooldown combat the game is really good. I could go into every aspect of it talking about how good it is but i don't want to hype you up to much if you decide to play it.

If you do want to pilot robots then you would have to play the wii u one. I havent beaten it because my hard drive broke but if youre worried about shit NoA translation from what ive played its not that bad. The dialog for the most part is alright but and the only voice actor i hated was emmas because how annoyingly breathy she speaks. And lyn is kind of annoying but I think its actually impossible to do the kawaii thing in english and not sound cringy so maybe its not their fault.

Anyway both are good games but i would say the first one is better but since i havent beaten the second i'll reserve total judgement but still give a recomendation.

>>14316

Everybody always talks about AC, but From made tons of great mecha games. It's a shame that ones like Frame Gride and MWC were never released outside of Japan.

>>14332

>the mechs having an AI is kind of endearing.

At E3 they said the mechs are outright sentient.

I don't know if they have emotions, or why they even need pilots, but it's a neat idea I guess.

The player character's mech is totally gonna die at the end of the game in a hammed-up way. Probably sacrificing itself to save the player.

>>14341

The guy who wrote that got fired, as far as I know.

He was just a PR guy and wasn't actually involved in direct development of the game itself.

>>14342

Joel Emslie is still working at Respawn as their main artist and Vince Zampella is the co-founder of the company.

you literally will have Gundam types and Super Prototypes at your disposal ontop of ace customs like MP guncannon (WD) which I dubbed the shitter shooter because it takes no skill to kill with it

Still pick whatever side, Zeon on Shangri-la (top most server) has a /m/ group named White Piggu so worth checking that out, the feddie group is now overrun with the IRC circlejerk from SDGO

Ok /m/, I'm trying to remember the name of a game I played a long time ago

>Late 2000s (circa 2008-2009) MMO

>advertised as having destructible terrain/buildings in higher-level areas

>3rd person, movement was WoW-like, might of had vertical movement via jumping and jetpacking

>Mostly PvE, mech vs mechs and drones, I think it had an open world and travel between planets

>Had hub areas (fortresses et.al.), where the player character (which I believe could be customized) could walk around in outside of his/her mech, shop, barter, ect

>3D, had semi-realistic anime-CGI-style graphics (think Robotech or Destroy Gunners)

>Beginner's region was arid canyonland similar to the middle pic in >>14570 with the fortress visible and a few (industrial? bunker?) buildings scattered throughout

>I think the first questlines had the player fighting some sort of rebellion?

>Is not Mechwarrior Online, and came out long before Hawken and Perpetuum

>Small chance it was Exteel, but from what I can find it doesn't quite line up and wouldn't have made sense to play as I hated NCSOFT even back then

Anyone have any clue what this might be?

>>14760

>>14760

Was it Rising Force Online? I know one race was a bunch of robots, and another race had tiny dudes that piloted mecha.

>Play AC3 and Silent Line

Nexus just doesn't sit well for me.

In AC3 no matter what setup I used, I was able to feel comfortable and have fun.

But in Nexus, no matter what setup I use it feels awkward and clunky.

Anyone else feel the same way?

Embed related; me doing arena in SL.

Yes, it's blatant self-shilling

>>15064

Nexus changed the controls, so that might be one.

>>15065

Yeah, but you could still choose to use classic controls.

Maybe it's just the reloading and heat-up from boosting that put me off.

Not to mention every booster eats up your energy like crazy for very little speed.

And now that their is a Taiwan server, you don't need a VPN to play!

>Can someone recommend a good VPN service to use for MSGO? Is there a guide for playing MSGO somewhere?

Again, play on the China server.

>>15067

>play with known cheaters

mudfish is the best, but I'll be honest, MSGO as a game is fucked

>>15069

>>play with known cheaters

Wha?

Dude there are cheaters and cheezers in every game, I doubt paying for a Japanese VPN makes any difference…

And those that are cheating are probably using Pixies or throwing Gelgoogs anyways, and there is nothing more satisfying than bombarding or shooting those fuckers from range.

>>15075

china is always the number 1 source of cheaters

>Throwing gelgoogs

you mean char's gelgoog, which doesn't need a script

>>15140

>china is always the number 1 source of cheaters

Yeah, so?

You think they're not also using a VPN to play on the Japanese server as well?

Hell, they probably don't get the huge ping spike from using one either!

>>Throwing gelgoogs

>you mean char's gelgoog, which doesn't need a script

True, but a large number of high-kill melee players always seem to be aimbot snapping in the kill screen.

Hell, the REAL salt these days are Gold G-3s, with twin Beam Sabers AND Dual Bazookas.

I don't think either are on the Taiwan server yet…

We just got the G-3, Assault Guntank, and Hildolfr.

Just got into MSGO, mostly having a tough time navigating all the gook runes and getting one shot by veteran players but it's the only thing I have to get my gundam fix.

Ah, good, then I can be of some use!

What kind of Web Browser are you using and does it have a "translate this page" function?

Because otherwise you'll be stuck with the half-assed English Wiki:

https://sites.google.com/site/msgoenglish/

>>15204

Using palemoon, but I have firefox installed on the side.

Will take a look at that site as the guide I currently have is a bit out of date.

https://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=117570

>>15205

>Using palemoon, but I have firefox installed on the side.

Well the reason I ask is because I use Chrome, and while the Google Translate option mostly spits out nonsense, you can piece together a functioning idea what individual suit stats and such are with the Japanese Wiki:

http://gow.swiki.jp/index.php

Technically both are already linked in that old forum guide, but their also specifically for the Japanese version of the game, where as the Taiwan release has some notable differences.

For instance, while Taiwan has the obvious ability to both Factions Suits, they also have a MUCH smaller selection, with only the basic grunt options for each Faction in the shop.

That said, I think all the current Gashacon are technically free-to-play, with the basic GP version in the first tab able to do a Single Prize spin (Left bottom button) for one Ticket (The grey ones with the pictograph of "list"?) at 3,000 GP, but also a Prize Pack Spin (Right Button) for ten Tickets, which only cost 30,000 GP.

These packs are always the option you should choose to use, as they always contain at least one Grey MS Blueprint, but also a bunch of Booster Items.

And speaking of Booster Items, how you actually EQUIP them is by clicking that smaller blue button above the one you hit to choose your Spawn Point on the Spawn Screen.

This brings up a window where you can click on the various Boosters you want to use, which will be locked in for the rest of the match.

An important thing to remember is that, while a single boost item will be consumed for that match once locked in, you can add a boost item from your inventory ANY time you are on the Deployment Screen.

This lets you save your rarer boost, such as the ones that give you extra GP or an extra draw from the prize screen at the end of a match, for when you are certain your team is going to win, as winning also gives you bonuses in those categories.

>>15206

>only has the grunts

Well that clears something up as I was wondering if I should be saving for that shit.

Does this mean I'm free to try and make extra powerful zakus and goufs?

I got about 400gp from tutorials and what not, any recommendations for investment?

>>15207

>Does this mean I'm free to try and make extra powerful zakus and goufs?

Well it only has the basic grunts NOW, I'm hoping they add at least more Grunt types in the future.

Joining a Clan/Guild/Outfit/Platoon allows you to use Clan Points to buy a slightly greater variety of Grunt Suits, as well as unlock an extra "Captured" MS to use both for your Land and Space Decks, but if you've only got 400 GP then you best stick with the suits and blueprints they gave you.

In fact, go to the first tab in your Deck Screen and see if you have anything with a Green band on it.

These are Rental Suits, like those "Captured" MS I mentioned earlier they are high-ish leveled Suits with pre-set loadouts.

They only last for ten matches, but they'll eat up a space in your Mech Garage until then, plus they'll still level you when it comes to Experience on that Suit.

Also, have you gone through ALL the Tutorials yet?

Is there a square button on the bottom of the front page, third from the left?

Click it to get a list of Tutorial Missions like you did with the Jesta.

I kinda fucked up my initial training, so I don't know how many they actually have you do to start out with, but more are unlocked as you rank up.

>>15215

I've been using a rented gouf and just got a hold of a rented healer zaku who apparently cannot handle space, at all. Also I was kind of tempted to dump all my gold tickets into beefing up my starter zakuII. Lord knows rng is content on rubbing fed mechs in my face all day long.

The last tutorials it let me do were the commander ones. The gook runes made that shit somewhat bewildering. I just unlocked yellow stripe rank so I'll check again at some point.

Got kinda mad when I rolled some dice at that 30k gp thing and the only gold mechs I got were fucking feds. Speaking of, any idea why the TW got rid of zeon vs feds?

>>15216

>Also I was kind of tempted to dump all my gold tickets into beefing up my starter zakuII.

DON'T!!!

You're Starter Zaku II is a Silver Blueprint, so you can only upgrade it 20 times anyways, so you are better off using the buy-able Silver Mechanic Tickets instead.

I made the mistake of blowing all my Gold Tickets on my Starters as well, and honestly the stat upgrades aren't that noticeable.

What you should look into is unlocking your Zaku II's Weapon Options.

Now, assuming it's the Zaku II F (Heavy Attack) we're talking about, I've got to tell you that you've got a pretty awesome Bazooka right out of the gate.

You probably didn't realize it, the default is the CHARGE Bazooka, meaning you can hold down the trigger to power up the shot.

It will go faster and do more damage, I think you can keep it charged as long as you hold down your fire button, actually firing when you release.

Personally I've had it fire off at random occasionally, but I don't know if that wasn't because my finger slipped off the button or not.

Also, what "Characteristic" does your Zaku have?

Those are those Tem Ray Circuit dealies you see when you examine your loadout and such.

The first and second ones are specifically for Bazookas, the first increases the size of the Explosion, the second increases the amount of Damage they'll do.

The third just makes you reload faster…

I'd also suggest swapping the Cracker Grenade with the unlockable Three Tube Leg Missile Pod.

You will probably need to buy the weapon components to unlock a weapon, and you need to do it in a series for the variations of a particular one, but the first in the series should be able to be unlocked.

Don't let the lock symbols fool you, unless the actual upgrade window has a red warning over it, you should be able to purchase the required components you need.

When you have your Leg Missiles selected, they will auto-lock onto anything within range of their huge reticle after a short time, then track that target down after firing.

They ARE dodge-able, but are usually a sure hit on any opponent not actively taking evasive maneuvers to avoid you.

>The last tutorials it let me do were the commander ones. The gook runes made that shit somewhat bewildering. I just unlocked yellow stripe rank so I'll check again at some point.

Sounds about right, that's where I am and I think your the same Rank as me…

Funny thing about this game, your Military Rank isn't actually progress indicator.

That's covered by a separate numerical rank at the bottom of your screen, under your Piloto Portrait.

Your Military rank in this game is determined by your Win/Loose performance in your last set of seven games, and you can check this via the Second tab of your Piloto Profile.

>Got kinda mad when I rolled some dice at that 30k gp thing and the only gold mechs I got were fucking feds. Speaking of, any idea why the TW got rid of zeon vs feds?

Probably to not split the player base…

Faction divide would mean you would only have half the players to fill a side of a multiplayer match with, and since a non-Japanese market is going to have fewer players that even care about the One Year War…

Personally I don't mind it, as it will allow me to build a Garage of MS with PERFECT SYMMETRY!

>>15220

>Its the bazooka/grenade/machine gun zaku.

Well you can alter the order your weapons are equipped in the loadout screen, just equip something you already have on to another's slot.

This helps because weapons have various switch out times, and if you use your mouse wheel like me, that extra five seconds cycling can get you killed.

Which also reminds me, the second button from the top of your suit inspection screen allows you to save your current loadout for switching pre-battle.

You're able to use this in the pre-battle screen by pressing the button in the middle-top on the Left (The one on the right lets you change the suits in your Deck).

This is especially useful for Artillery Suits, as they have several weapon options ranging from Bombardment (The ones where you click on a portion of the map within the red circle, and rain down death from above), Howitzers (lobbing, indirect weapons that aren't particularly useful until you get a targeting Module that tells you where your shots are actually LANDING) and Direct Fire.

It also allows you to NAME said loadouts, allowing you to set your weapons up in an easily identifiable manner.

>Yeah I noticed pretty quick i could charge the bazooka but was dismayed to score some direct hits on what must have been higher level players only to find a fully charged shot bounces off their face plates like a pair of testicles off a car windshield.

Well did your Hit Indicator have an extra purple layer to it?

Those might have been Assault Suit (IE, the Melee ones), some of who comes with hand-held Shields that will tank a certain amount of damage coming from their front as long as they aren't attacking.

These shields can be a pain in the ass mostly because they can double a Suits resistance to being knocked over, so your 'zook is less effective for setting them up.

>Identifying my passive is proving difficult due to gook runes, I see a bunch of 5% which looks like a weapon passive. Pic related.

That's those "Characteristics" I was talking about, and one of the bigger reasons I suggested Page Translating the Moon Wiki.

Looks like you've got Bazooka Blast Expansion on that suit, which makes the explosions from your Zook shots bigger.

This means you should aim for groups of enemies, as your bigger blast will hit more of them, but you've also should avoid firing in close quarters as you'll end up damaging YOURSELF with the blast.

>I've got a pile of these secondary golden tickets that just say ticket rather than master ticket, they have a much higher chance of success vs a 70% failure chance on regular silver tickets for weapon upgrades.

Wait, do they have Moon Runes above "Ticket" and a couple of Melee weapons pictures?

Those are WEAPON Upgrade tickets, and it's not a 70% chance of Failure but REGULAR Success.

See, those percentiles are Great Success (Gold Percentile, you've upgraded the listed number entirely, maybe a bit extra), Regular Success (Green Percentile, you've upgraded a large portion of the listed number) and finally Failure (Grey Percentile), which still actually upgrades the Stat, but only by a small amount

Unlike Mechanic Tickets, Weapon Upgrade Tickets can ONLY be used for Weapon Upgrading and can never actually fail, but the Yellow (Regular) and Gold (Super) versions can only be won as prizes so you want to use them wisely.

Mechanic Tickets progressively gain a chance for Failure, but since the Silver versions are the only Ticket you can buy for GP, you can always buy more.

Again I'm going to stress the importance Page Translating the Gook Wiki, as that will not only give you an idea of what various Weapons' Stats are, but also what Stats you are actually UPGRADING.

The English Wiki can give you an idea what the particular stats actually DO, but since it's so sparse on individual MS info you'll need the Gook Wiki to get an idea of what is what.

For example, remember those different Artillery Weapons I mentioned earlier?

The Bombardment Type has several variations for longer base range, larger base blast effects, stronger base damage, and most importantly a huge NUMBER of shots per volley, which unlike the others is a stat you CANNOT upgrade or modify.

On top of ALL that, ALL the Cannon-type (Bombardment, Howitzer, Direct Fire) weapons for a suit use the SAME DAMN ICON, which really sucks because the Direct Fire type can have a separate variation that shoots Incendiary rounds that light shit on fire!

>Grabbed the missile pod on your suggestion.

Good man.

>>15229

>A few more things, are you on the TW server? I could use someone who also doesn't speak gook for company at this point.

Click on that Atom looking Icon up at the top and search for COLONYDROP.

That's the Troop I'm with, one exclusively for English Speakers, and we should still have a spot open.

>Also I noticed I'm limited to 8 robots, I activated a rental but then couldn't build a goufprint I found. After clicking around I found another random fucking gashacan turn table gambling window separate from the others running off of some item I can't identify, and a second screen that seems to demand a bunch of varied items including gold tickets to take a spin on.

Oh no, that's the Exchange, you don't spin for anything, you trade a certain number of a particular item for a certain thing.

For instance, those White Tickets with a Present on them are for the first one and you get those by completing certain objectives.

The Haro Coins you get for every DX Gashacan spin you make.

The final Pink "seasonal" Tickets are something you can get as an after match prize.

What you need to expand your MS Garage are the blue Garage Tickets, which you can get from this exchange, (I THINK) from the Gashacan, and for reaching a particular rank.

That last one is a pain, however, as they only give you 5 of the TEN Tickets you need for an additional MS space.

To add a space, go to your Blueprint or Garage tabs, then click on the grey button next to the fraction of MS/Spaces you have.

At the top of this window, there should be a grey bar with a number at the end; This is how many Garage Tickets you have.

For every ten, you can add another space.

You can of course also buy spaces with Gook Coins, but yeah…

>I cannot into melee at all, I can't even say its gooklag, that shit is infuriatingly clunky.

I hear you…

I think the biggest thing is having to learn all the unique Melee hitboxes; Every melee weapon seems to have their own swing and thrust patterns that you can only find on the Jap wiki, and half the time you can't make heads or tails of the translated description.

>>15230

Yeah it's at 49/50, a yellow tab which is what I'm assuming is a pending application popped up when I clicked it.

Can't message the mr polar guy though so I'm not sure what else to do. At this point it may be too late to play more than a game or two.

>>15231

Don't worry, it took a few days for him to get on and accept my application, but he's been on more recently.

I just got off to go eat, my IGN is Witt.

>>15232

Oh hey, I got a golden Zaku II F print, is that gold ticket worthy?

>>15246

>Oh hey, I got a golden Zaku II F print, is that gold ticket worthy?

Yeah, Gold Prints are where you want to be using your Gold Tickets, as they can accept thirty upgrades as opposed to 20, so you'll get more bang for your buck.

Was it the Melee or Heavy Attack version?

The Melee one gets the Tank Gun Bazooka special for a Gold Print, while the Heavy Attack gets Jammer Grenades.

>>15251

>How are the jammer nades? I unlocked the zaku but haven't fiddled with it yet.

Don't really know myself…

I think it disrupts Lock-on, but I'm not sure.

>Also I scored a golden worker zaku with explosion resistance for his passive. Was thinkinf of going full support with healgun/med station/radar

Could work, but you might also want to have a Med Station/AA Turret setup as well.

Even behind cover, you can still get your ass shelled by Mortar weapons, making Points, Repair Pods, and Field Spawns all PRIME targets, but the AA Turret sets up a no-shelling zone.

they already said they didn't want to lose arcade revenue, so we legit aren't getting a maxi boost on port.

they also admitted that force wasn't what the fans wanted, but they also said they were still committed to making some kind of "console-exclusive experience"

given that it's on PS4 and not Vita, I think it'll turn out better than force and we'll still have the arcade-esque 2v2 but it'll be different somehow.

they're also not calling it "extreme" vs, so I think we can assume this is the next "series," like the move from gundam vs gundam next plus to extreme vs

>>15281

>right you should have differentiated

Well the line of discussion was me arguing against another anon saying you shouldn't play on the TW server due to the Chinese rampently cheating.

>also for those playing on TW look up the clan "NoZaku" I started it for the benefits of being in a clan

Ah nice, COLONYDROP is full, and I didn't want to take up another slot with my second pilot anyways.

I'll start that one after the current event is over.

>been trying to play the TW version lately and I'll be frank the client has some issues

Yeah, I've heard that from 4chan's /m/ thread, something about framerate issues and memory leaks?

>>15286

yeah it seems to really have massive issues with the latest patch for me at least where the game will randomly start chugging and my CPU useage shoots up to about 90% or so

this doesn't happen with the JP version and a reinstall didn't help

>>15288

>yeah it seems to really have massive issues with the latest patch for me at least where the game will randomly start chugging and my CPU useage shoots up to about 90% or so

>this doesn't happen with the JP version and a reinstall didn't help

You aren't still using your VPN, are you?

I know I've personally had trouble if the game window wasn't full screen while a match was going…

>>15290

>>15286

Is nozaku anymore active? Colony drop is a ghost town.

>>15292

Nozaku is active yeah, I have had ZERO requests to join (check spelling it's strict on that)

>>15290

Been running it windowed, think that might be the issue?

also no not using the VPN when playing

>>15293

I tried to apply when I got a recommendation over on the /v/ space thread a few days back but either gook runes got one over on me or I fucked up the casing.

I signed up with colony drop but so far rarely see more than one or two guys on.

>>15290

You've been with them for a while, is it just a slump week or would it be safe to switch?

>>15294

remember it's NoZaku

I try to check every day

>>15293

>Been running it windowed, think that might be the issue?

Yeah, usually that fucks with the GPU or something, it doesn't like both animating the game and having whatever you've got going on in the background at the same time.

Go to setting (The Gears in the top left bottom button), hit the middle tab, and click the bar with the aspect ratio.

Basically, crank that up to Max, and it should go into full screen.

Unless you known of a different method of switching to full screen, as it's the only one I've been able to figure out.

>>15294

>You've been with them for a while, is it just a slump week or would it be safe to switch?

Mid week usually is a slump in general, and we all play at odd times anyways.

Just start your second Pilot out if you want to join NoZaku.

>>15296

well the issue only surfaced recently

Damn TW server been lagging real bad for me these last few days. Also fucking 8chan broke and I haven't been able to post.

>>15295

>>15296

Decided to go with that and sent an app on a fresh pilot. But again I've had some major connection issues these last few days after a week of pretty solid ping so I don't know what the fuck.

>>15339

Nice work, played with Rommel a bit ago and we just suffered loss after loss, not his fault though, playing low tier is like playign with people asleep at the wheel

>running Zaku Cannon

>we're trying to push into enemy base on odessa docks

>Rommell is keeping me alive like a mad man while I take abuse

>manage to hold off their push and go back to shelling to stave them off further

>>15338

Crit chances up, also a incentive to join a guild is you get bonuses to build chance the higher the guild level

IIRC there are two guilds on TW, Colonydrop, which I'm told is full and rather dead, and there is NoZaku, which I made

>>15339

Also should add, I had this back on JP MSGO, it's a solid suit, the anti MS torpedo is good for base damage or clearing out a stubbornly dug in enemy team

>>15339

>>15341

>>15342

Also what does that little star you can toggle on and off do? Down near the stats.

>>15356

oh it's a 'favorite'

basically it's for one of the sort methods

doesn't really do much

>>15360

Gotcha.

Got my golden Zaku F to level 61 as it hit the 30 upgrade mark. I still need more of those items to increase the max upgrades on weapons though since they still don't do much against certain players.

What is the difference between a regular Zaku II and that sand one? They seem to have access to the exact same loadouts and the stats didn't look much different.

They both get shat on by gelgoogs anyways I'm just curious if I'm missing something.

>>15371

Desert Zaku and the F type are different in not only base stats, but equipment

D zaku's signature weapon is the 3 tube rockets

as for being shat on by superior machines you might need to adjust play style when fighting stronger machines, ambush tactics usually work

Saw a Kampfer in game today for the first time, never even realized they were in.

Someone in CD said they were no longer possible to get though, whats the deal? Does msgo have a lot of timed exclusive bullshit?

>>15375

I think you saw a protokampfer

two different suits and the loadoouts are different as well, as for timed exclusive I think it was in an older DX gasha and the system the TW game uses for DX gasha is similar to the old JP one where it would rotate out every couple of weeks for a new one.

So until they add it to the GP gasha or shop then yeah, it's gonna be a rare suit

Still not as wonky or bad as the Zaku II F2 on the JP version where for some reason Zeon can only get it via a EX gasha event yet EFF can get it through GP gasha, DX gasha, and the points shop

So what is this latest event all about?

>>15386

on the TW version?

I'll post when I get in and play

It's a "play the game" event like on the JP version

basically you'll get points at the end of every match and every milestone you get rewards

I think we're getting the F2 Zaku II which is a powerhouse of a MS in terms of being meta

Just got a motherfucking golden gouf.

I am complete.

>>15399

nice

Think I'm done even looking at the halfchan MSGO thread simply because it feels more like a halfchan /v/ thread now than anything

>>15409

>still going to halfchan

There's a reason pretty much everybody left, man.

The site turned to pure garbage. I haven't even gone there in years.

Gonna try out ghiren's greed. Anyone have any preferred guides for it if you can't into moon runes?

>>15414

still peek in for nozaku's scanlation updates and some other things

/m/ is slowly gaining more cancer honestly, but at a crawl because we're so niche

>>15424

the Z series is piss easy, Alpha Gaiden is my favorite

>>15421

There is a wiki with minor translations

If you take about a month or so to learn katakana and hiragana you'd get unit and pilot names down

>>15426

>/m/ is slowly gaining more cancer honestly

4/m/'s been cancer for awhile, anon. It's full of /a/utists who don't even like mecha and just want to shitpost in the Eva and Macross threads.

>>15427

>It's full of /a/utists who don't even like mecha and just want to shitpost in the Eva

You mean those guys who keep ragging on Shinji for not getting in the fucking robot?

I can't find seeders for Gasaraki anywhere, the three or four I found are all dead ends. Anyone know where I can find it with decent quality? The show's OP looks really promising.

>>15427

the MSGO thread has turned into clan e-peen waving and generally the tone itself reeks of /v/ and goons

>>15433

an /a/ anon delivered and helped me, woo hoo!

So, are there any other good PS1 mech games other than Armored Core and Omega Boost?

>>15545

well depends, the SRW games are good mecha games but those are TRPG

could try some of the gundam games like gundam assault

I think you'd like this Doom wad, /m/.

>>15561

What type of toy/model did they use? MSiA? MG?

Neat idea for using pics of it like that.

>>15562

I think those are HG kits, the shield looks like a Jegan's, not to mention the beam rifle looks like a Jegan's

>>15545

I had fun playing Mechwarrior 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X3GD0UnBCk

and a game called RoboPit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_gipaXI9EU

For a more strategy oriented were you program your robots AI and then watch them fight, Carnage Hearts wasn't that bad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4kGSUVBjgw

You also had Front Mission 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuIwgSO4jNs

What ever happened to that muvluv game some 11 was making? And Federation Force got panned as well. Why are mech games so prone to failure?

>>15561

lol the gunpla models

>>15625

Are you talking about The TSF Forefront? I thought I heard they moved to UE4 from UDK, but they haven't tweeted since 2015 and the site hasn't been updated since 2014.

Whelp good a time as ever to stop visiting the 4chan MSGO threads, ruined by a group of spergs in a skype group

shame TW seems to be dead ATM

>>15715

It was a good time to stop visiting 4chan in general over 2 years ago.

>>15716

I still go back to /m/ every so often, but the quality seems to be a bit on the decline

>>15737

Which one?

>>15769

1 to 3 plus Formula front.

>>15765

Get you some Mechwarrior 3 or 4, you can find packs of the games out there somewhere. I preferred 3 over 4 but 3 won't run on my Windows 7 machine which is apparently not a common issue. Classic tabletop BT can be emulated and computerized on PC via Megamek but it's probably the most obtuse and difficult to learn tabletop wargame still in production. If you still want to try then get the latest copy of Total Warfare and Maximum Tech if you can find it. Cuckchan's /btg/ on /tg/ should have a Mediafire or similar link of PDF sources to help you find one. There are other cool games too like MW:LL but that's multiplayer only so you won't be getting a full experience.

>>15772

Lose enough times until you get Human Plus. It's different in every game so look up a guide. It's literally get gud: the part.

>>15773

Other anon with similar question is how do I manage money in Armored Core Games?

>>15776

Use laser guns since they don't have an ammo cost.

Use lighter mechs since repair costs is a value based on overall AP lost multiplied by defense. This means a heavy mech losing a little bit of AP can cost more to repair than a light mech that lost almost all of it. This applies very much so to AC4/4A.

If you're playing Pre AC4 games then look around for parts laying around on missions, usually in hidden spots or in destroyable stuff.

Play the arena, those give you cash and most games don't have you lose money if you lose an arena.

>>15781

Thank you for this valuable advice.

>>15438

>using /a/

SO gundam online rolled out a new update that overhauled the combat system. needless to say it's given a bit of new life to it.

>>16045

They finally fixed the fucking combat?

>>16046

Well concentrated fire now can stagger suits. meaning pixies can't run into rifle fire and survive

I wouldn't advocate going back the cuckchan /m/ for their MSGO thread simply because it's now just drama and cancer

>>16052

I wouldn't go back to cuckchan in general for any reason.

Every time I meet a crossposter on another board they seem like total Twitter-tier meme lords, and if that's the type of environment halfchan is now then fuck it.

>>16053

I peek in eveyr so often, the /m/ thread for MSGO has become a circlejerk for some serious cancer. There are even faggots who don't even browse image boards in there and namefagging. I'm one of the guys whose been playing since it went open beta (couldn't get into the invite beta) and a lot of the old guard is gone. the SA team was basically /m/ and SA melding into a single group to keep up numbers, but even now they're hemmoraging because they're kicking people who trigger them. I got kicked for saying "evening niggers" in team chat.

In any case I just went back the the old team, found there were still active players and have been back with WhitePiggu ever since. the SA guild has become filled with stream cancer, redditors and I doubt most of them even come from /m/ anymore

>>16054

>In any case I just went back the the old team, found there were still active players and have been back with WhitePiggu ever since.

So is this why there's always so much drama whenever "Bring back WhitePiggu" is mentioned?

Any decent mecha games come out recently?

The genre's getting bare.

Anyone played Assault Suit Leynos?

It's 60% off in the PS4 january sales and I'm wondering if it's any good.

>>16058

I have no idea where the drama is coming from, last I peeked in there it turned out some of it was being perpetuated by some IRC circlejerkers. Like I said I don't even go to the /m/ threads much anymore, I may have went there like twice during 2016.

Also the drama is more likely to be that goons hate giving up power and thus will stir shit. Notice the only namefags on those threads last I checked were SDGO autists and some faggot that isn't even from cuckchan.

>>16087

>Notice the only namefags on those threads

Well I was also on those threads…

>>16088

yeah but from what I've seen is you don't really do much and you do post helpful shit instead of acting like crix or that tummycrix dude

if you aren't guilty don't sweat the small shit. I'm Ginga on the JP and HK versions of MSGO, stopped playing HK because rubber banding was a big issue. in any case just keep playing and doing what you're doing. Frankly I don't see why /m/ on halfchan is even floating a group that is pulling from outside /m/

Pretty much over gundam online at this point, have gotten into super robot wars though nad enjoying myself immensely. Went with OG1 for my first one since its in english.

>>16090

>Not going with Alpha Gaiden

mate there are actual SRW titles with 100% english translations

the first one, 3, @G and J

@G is intense and I recommend you go play that

>>16092

I'll take you up on that once I finish with OG1, it was a bit of a let down that I didn't get all the crossover fun in OG.

I was actually considering grabbing a vita to try the new one that's coming out.

>>16093

I bought a vita for G breaker 3 because fuck paying for online. you're gonna have to shell out money because of the mandatory memory format they have

>>16095

Man, it's gotta suck 20 years down the line when Sony would have long since stopped producing Vita memory cards and each one goes to $500.

Holy hell that campaign took forever, and I still gotta do kyousuke's.

Satisfying finish for ryousi though.

>>16108

someone has been working on a microSD card thing for the vita dunno what came from that

>>16109

Well now, I am finally finished with SRW OG. As my first entry of the SRW franchise I had a blast even if it did start to drag on a bit. Finished up kyo's campaign with all but 1 battle mastery and destroyed the space hemmeroid.

Surprising amount of content for a gameboy game.

Well I rather enjoyed "Titanfall 1 & 2", "Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3" and "Zone of Enders: 2nd Runner", and I've wanted to try "Gundam Breaker 3', "Dynasty Gundam Warriors: Reborn" and "Armored Core: For Answer".

>>16171

Have you played any of the other Armored Core games?

For Answer is rather hard, I'd recommend you play Nexus first.

Or you could even play the original games to begin with, they control differently though.

>>16177

Thank you for the advice, I just wanted to play as that white AC on the cover, is all. Is it in Nexus or the other "Armored Core" games?

>>16180

I believe it's called White Glint.

I think it also appears in the fourth game.

>>16182

Hm, also good to know. Thanks again. :)

>>16171

>Wanting to play ANOTHER Gundam Musou game.

Just play G breaker 3, hell go pick up GvG

>Enjoyed memefall

The real wall in @G is how goddamn long the missions get. This shin getter vs mazin kaizer level is really straight forward but is taking years to get through.

>>16248

To be fair, I basically invested in the "Gundam Musou" franchise from the beginning, so I kinda need to play the latest installment to satisfy my curiosity about it.

>Enjoyed memefall

I take it you're not fond of "Titanfall"?

>>16248

Isn't GB3 supposedly a downgrade from the second game?

>>16539

>I take it you're not fond of "Titanfall"?

Not many people are judging by the player stats :^)

>>16540

what?

fuck not GB3 is a massive UPGRADE in terms of content. Most of the story is told in VN style cutscenes ala SRW. But the game is better than 2 in unit customization. Gameplay is more or less the same

>>16531

So you just got Shin getter?

Turn X fight is after this.

>>16540

>fuck not GB3 is a massive UPGRADE in terms of content. Most of the story is told in VN style cutscenes ala SRW. But the game is better than 2 in unit customization. Gameplay is more or less the same

Noted. Am I able to get the DLC mobile suits for GB3 with an American account, or do I need a Japanese account?

>Not many people are judging by the player stats :^)

I don't get it.

>>16575

Theres a filler mission in between where I gotta fight the frost brothers but this is the first skill point in the whole game I am kind of in doubt about being able to pull off. Killing both of them at once when they trigger the mission ending at low health.

Why do so many mecha games not get released outside of Japan?

>>16583

1. West does not like mecha, it is hardly worth it for them.

2. Copyright/ip bullshit, this is the big one. Each country has it's own web of bullshit concerning it and even companies with branches in foreign nations can end up coming into conflict even with them fucking selves about releasing IP.

>>16594

>West does not like mecha

That's just not true, despite how bad the game is, Titanfall did just fine.

>>16595

Pacific rim tanked pretty hard hard and western mecha cartoons aren't exactly abundant. One game doing decently doesn't save the genre as a whole.

>>16602

Ah, but there's a catch there, anon.

It made most of its money from foreign audiences. There's no breakdown of countries on that website, but I'd assume most of that money came from Europe and nations south of the US.

>>16603

There is a breakdown, actually. It's a bit obscured so I don't blame you for not seeing it.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=pacificrim.htm

To be fair, the film was fairly popular in Asia. It made over $110,000,000 from the Chinese market, d over $18,000,000 from the South Korean market and surprisingly only $14,500,000 in the Japanese market.

It was big in Russia for some reason, grossing over $20,000,000.

>>16602

I stand corrected.

I had heard it did poorly and that the sequel was due to success in china but did not investigate further.

On another note, I've reached mission 40: ABAYO and have to say.

I love this gay nigga's themesong.

>>16604

>It was big in Russia for some reason, grossing over $20,000,000.

Half correct, is says "Russia - CIS", that "CIS" means "commonwealth of independent states" AKA ex-USSR nations. That is a massive geographic area accounting for hundreds of millions of people.

>>16606

lol that description

>Before we begin, I would like to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for my life, and all the gifts which I've been given in it, including the ability to make this extension. Your name be glorified, my Savior, even in something as small as this. Amen.

GCB is a underrated show.

>>16607

>GCB is a underrated show.

I've been wanting to watch Braiger and it's sequels for some time, but I don't know where I can watch it with good English subs, sadly.

>>16580

Need a JP account. Sorry about late response. But a JP only product is only going to have DLC on it's respective PSN store.

>Second bit. Whatcha mean?

>>16580

If you have the Asian English version, you need a Singlish PSN account. Otherwise, you need a moon PSN account. As long as you have the DLC downloaded to your PS4, you're good to go with whatever account you have attached to it.

>>16648

If you're on vita remember you're locked to the location the account the vita is tied to and can't switch accounts on the vita for some dumb reason. Then again the Vita was a bundle of dumb reasons packaged in dumb ideas

>>16625

>>16648

Thank you both for the info, now how do I do all of that on an American PS4?

>>16660

You can probably just Google it.

>>16606

Mission 43, the mission that finally brought me to the wall. I was waiting and waiting for that difficulty spike and here it is, I love it but good god does it make the mission SLOW AS FUCK.

>>16662

Not a bad idea, I should do that. There might even be a How-To video on YouTube, TBH.

Recently picked up a vita with the intention of getting SRW:V, however I was browsing the list of games available digitally and noticed Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Force. How is this title?

>>16974

Vs Force is trash. ignore it.

Also looks like my MSGO days are over. After fucking around trying to get steam overlay to work with STALKER it won't launch for me anymore. Gonna try a fresh install of W7 see if it fixes it

Apparently a new Gundam Verses is coming to the west.

Are those games any good? I've heard mixed things about them.

>>16995

I absolutely love them, but I don't think they are for everyone. It depends if you like fast paced games where situational awareness and well times inputs are vital.

>>16998

What are some games it could be compared to?

If they're anything like the Gundam Musou games then I assume they'd be trash.

So you remember Mobile Suit Gundam Online, and how the Japanese Server required you to use a VPN to spoof your IP Address for the Region Lock, and that even when you did play you had to know fucking Japanese to even have half an idea what you were doing without tabbing out of the game to check a Google Translated Wiki?

Remember how the Taiwan Server doesn't have IP Address Region Lock?

Well GUESS WHAT?!

TW now has an ENGLISH LANGUAGE OPTION!!!

The English Text is surprisingly good too, so at least you'll know what your Team-mates' Voice Commands are actually saying.

>>17332

Does the TW version have a bunch of dirty chinks speaking ching chongs? I've played too many f2p and chinks really bring the overall game down.

>>17336

>Does the TW version have a bunch of dirty chinks speaking ching chongs?

Well yes, it's Taiwan's server after all…

At least they're letting us play in their massive digital Japanses giant robot wars, I hear even using English text on the JP serves nets you a ban.

Unless you are talking about actual Voice over Internet, in which case no, the only vocal audio in the game is still the same Japanese voice lines of the original Mobile Suit Gundam cast, plus about a dozen others providing the Japanese voice lines for your customized pilot avatar.

>>17336

Any guides on registering for the TW version?

>>17332

I've started playing again thanks to this and its working out pretty well.

Though its a bit of a double edged knife since they have a gold gacha on that has 3 poster zeon suits I want and will never ever get enough gold tickets for.

>>16999

3-month response cuz why the fuck not

they aren't even CLOSE to musou games. the only comparison I can really think of is Gotcha Force because they were made by the same people.

you see a few comparisons to Virtual-On, but I think the two series are different beasts.

>>17425

>Though its a bit of a double edged knife since they have a gold gacha on that has 3 poster zeon suits I want and will never ever get enough gold tickets for.

Yeah, there has also been a bug where English users don't actually receive weekly event rewards, which is where you get most of your Gold Tickets…

>>11918

I get scary ping in Bong Wonk server, what do?

>>17332

Stopped playing TW because too many connectivity issues. I'll play JP till then, the ranking system is ass and I've deranked from early-mid gold to fucking bronze because Zeon can't do shit

After having spent some time with gundam breaker I don't think I'll be looking at the series again. I love the whole build your own mech thing but the core gameplay is boring and pretty much the same no matter what you built. Missions are also getting longer and longer while not really providing me with anything new to do. I also don't care for all the COMBINE PARTS FOR A 0.01% INCREASE IN BOOTY nonsense, which is a real shame because they also do it right with adding parts also giving you access to extra attacks. I could do without the stat micromanagement and more of the unique feature sets.

>>17509

>I get scary ping in Bong Wonk server, what do?

>>17532

>Stopped playing TW because too many connectivity issues.

Which end of the globe are you guys connecting from?

I'm in Iowa with a meh to decent connection and don't have many problems…

>I'll play JP till then, the ranking system is ass and I've deranked from early-mid gold to fucking bronze because Zeon can't do shit

Eh, it's not perfect, but it's better than the old "Rank change is determined solely by the W/L of your last 7 matches" system…

With this system, as long as you did DECENTLY, losses won't drag you down as bad…

Biggest issue is that the big points are earned for offense, so the game is mostly rewarding suicide rocket tag rushing to deplete the other teams' Force Gauge faster then they can yours, thus only a few natural turtles like me will actually do anything for DEFENSE.

Combined with the above disparity between Offensive and Defensive scoring, everyone else goes on the Attack turning the whole match into a race to nuke the other guys first, and with Supports generally lacking killing power in the first place makes defending a futile effort.

Hopefully the increase in Killstreak bonuses helps level this out a bit more, suicide JII O Rushers generally focus only on the Base Objectives and thus are only good en-mass, and now that we've got the Thunderbolt GM on TW I'm hoping to up my Turtle game with it.

>>17539

Scary-Ping-Non-Lover reporting in.

I play from the eastern Ukraine… Usually I get under 50 ping in other games, in some occasions it may rise up to goddamn 200 (our providers suck there), but I feel like 200 ping in Gundam Online is the best I could get… Real shame, as there is so little mech games on PC, especially multiplayer ones with non-dead servers.

>>11905

You /m/en probably heard of cosmic break? Pretty good mecha game with mechs and (the bad part) girls with mech weaponry. There are also a bit of pure mecha girls.

Servers are not too dead (usually around 300 unique people playing per week), robots range from silly looking mechlets to great sleek piloting material, customization of bots is decent and free, mechanic is interesting and the controls are limited, but simple. The worst part is its gacha, where for basic currency you usually get a mecha 1 out of 50 spins, and for donation currency (that you somewhat can farm, or buy 50 pieces with usual currency per month).

Saw it mentioned in passing once in this thread, but Earth Defense Force is good dumb fun. I've been playing it with a friend and it's over the top and hammy in that Japanese sort of way.

While this is a bit annoying, it shows just how much you get into the game.

Does Custom Robo emulate well?

I'd like to try it but I don't want to go out of my way to buy a GC and then the game.

>>17612

As far as I remember, the gameboy and DS versions emulate greatly.

Gamecube version should emulate properly, too. Gamecube is pretty old and the emulations on everything below xbox360-tier are pretty much advanced by now.

>>17612

>>17619

Dolphin's compatibility with Custom Robo: Battle Revolution is listed as Playable (****). There's probably a few graphical glitches when running it in Dolphin, but for the most part, you'll be fine.

Any anons hopeful for the new mech game FromSoft might be making? Ignore the title, Miyazaki didn't say anything beyond FromSoft making "a mech game".

http://archive.is/7tbPv

He talked about this last year but I haven't heard anybody talk about it much.

>Any anons hopeful for the new mech game FromSoft might be making?

Yeah. I lurked recently around the net for more info, but I didn't found much that's not already in the article you provided I accidentaly found that leakage of FromSoft's aztec barehand fighting game, tho'.

I hope their mech title will be available on pc and in Eng. There are too little good games recently like that

After finishing SRW V for the second time I took a little break. But then I found out about SD gundam g generation for PSP and how it just got an english translation so I've started on that.

It's got a fantastic selection of MS even if some of them are pretty gimped with only two fairly weak moves to their names. If I treat it like a small skirmish game than it seems to be right on the money as it really doesn't offer anything on the story front. The list of 'master' characters you can start with is pretty intense and there's a lot of good options. Seeing as how I didn't know too much about the games mechanics I went with Sechs in the Tallgeese for the free captures.

I wanna make love to a giant robot

>>17680

but why

Will the new MechWarrior be good or will it be a flaming pill of shit?

>>17826

PGI's on the job, so flaming pile of shit.

>they're sticking with 3015 for MW5 Mercs

>and yet here's a fucking Raven

>apparently Liao mechs now have time travel capability

>>17834

just fuck my shit up fam

>>17845

Being a BT/MW fan is suffering.

At least I'll always have MegaMek.

>>17846

Is that still being developed?

I haven't heard about it for years.

>>17847

I actually don't know if it's still being worked on. It's there. It's not like much of anything new has come down the pipe since Dark Age got shat onto us.

>>12167

How was this game?

It came out awhile ago but I never heard anything about it.

Been playing SD gundam G generation overworld after hearing about the mecha capture mechanic. Overall it's alright, the lack of any real plot makes it feel like a slog but the sheer number of mechs and pilots you can get balance it out. Plus its always a treat being able to make your own pilots. Levels really tend to drag on though holy hell.

>>17937

>Levels really tend to drag on though holy hell.

Some of the Gundam games tend to be like that, it's why I don't really play many of them.

>>17957

I would not mind it so much if there was some actual story behind it. There is fun to be had giving ramba ral an ignited gouf or upgrading dozle to the grand zam.

I definitely don't want to create a new thread for this one.

It's quite surprising no one here is discussing the new dissapointing Front Misson's "Left Alive" game. It has developers/designers from Armored Core/Front Mission itself/Metal Gear series…

Too bad it's most likely will be a MGS Phantom Pain clone, with just a little bit more mecha stuff… And without Wanzer customization. Also, in interviews it was said that the only way to get a Wanzer there is to steal it (like a damn nigger).

Also, "Novo Slav" sounds fucking stupid if you are familiar with Russian language

**https://gematsu.com/2017/09/left-alive-third-person-shooter-set-world-front-mission

>We didn’t do a sequel because we wanted Front Mission to be seen in a different perspective, rather than the so-called ‘robot thing.'**

It's better to replay FM Evolved again, I guess. At least you can do various fun builds there.

>>17977

That quote at the beginning works nowhere near as well in English.

No, seriously, MechWarrior/BattleTech is as good as dead, and now Front Mission is going to be made certifiably dead BECAUSE WE DON'T GET NICE THINGS ANYMORE.

>>17991

Konami did something similar with Zone of the Enders.

>say they'll make a third game if there's interest

>start planning a remaster

>hire a notorious hack studio to make it

>remaster is a broken mess

>nobody buys it

>welp guess nobody cares about Zone of the Enders, third installment cancelled :^)

Knowing Konami they probably did this intentionally, for what reason I don't know.

i'm hyped for frontmissionmetalgear fuck you guys.

spending most of a mecha game out of the mech makes it more meaningful, more than an oversized player model.

>>18014

If it's good in spite of everything, I'll gladly eat my words but I have a bad feeling about this.

Like, Wanzer customization is fucking fun in and of itself, you're basically kitbashing a 5-story tall death machine together and if you don't think that's the tightest shit ever… But really, I have an awful, awful feeling about this and it's BECAUSE I've seen the worst happen (and so have others).

Getting back on main topic: Is Assault Suits a dead franchise? Last entry was on the PlayStation 2. (I liked Cybernator a lot)

>>18014

Looks cool as fuck.

>>18014

That game looks like it could be Fun. It's still in alpha and the amount of customization looks to be great. Let's see how they vamp up the tactical gameplay in the time to come. Maybe it'll be a good videogame.

Project Nimbus just came out.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/257030/Project_Nimbus/

Has anyone gotten around to trying it?

>>18029

I completely forgot about that game.

The reviews seem to indicate it's good, might give it a try at some point.

>>18018

That doesn't look like much of a remake, they didn't improve all the graphics so now there's this ugly mish-mash of pixels and drawn assets.

>>17991

The worst bit is, even if every mecha lover gets together, even if we all swallow our pride to say "We want more mechs!" with out wallets, they'll just take it as a sign that we want the new mech-lite versions, not the classic stuff, not the good stuff.

It's really lose-lose, all anyone can do is shun them, and pick up on and spread any new IPs that show up from smaller publishers to really make any sort of splash.

>>18534

You really just have to wait for the good games to come around and support those.

>>15545

Love&Destroy was cool, especially with its destructible environments. Shame it's only 6 short levels.

>>18561

> 6 short levels.

Bloody hell, I would have returned a game back in the day had it been that short.

>>18018

In this vein, there's Gigantic Army

>>18595

Gigantic army was a real letdown for me. I really wanted this to be closer to metal warriors.

>>18602

If the game ends suddenly it probably had a troubled development cycle. Maybe they ran out of money?

Which A.C. is the best? I've only ever played the second game but I liked it.

>>18730

I forgot to add to 3rd gen:

Being the most recent PS2 entries, they're the most polished entries, but that polish works against them since there is nothing to compensate for the floaty feeling of the ACs, and the tighter controls just make the whole thing feel yawn inducing. To put it another way, the roughness that came from Gen 1's age gave ACs a wild feeling that made me wish I could use one in real life, even while playing dual analog on an emulator. Driving my car everyday is more exciting than using a Gen 3 AC. And Ambien is more stimulating than NX ACs.

>>18730

I remember being so disappointed with the other AC games after playing the first, AC 5 is actual garbage.

Are there other games out like similar to AC 1?

>>18734

You underestimate how hard reverse engineering is.

>>18735

Several games with shut down servers have gotten custom servers so don't underestimate vidya autism. Not to mention all the unofficial patches/mods for games that don't initially support editing them.

>>18739

There's a difference between setting up a custom server and reverse engineering an entire game.

>No Ring of Red

This game needs more recognition

>>18029

I don't know why I haven't heard anything about this game, you'd think a halfway decent mecha game would blow up somewhere like here.

>>18018

That looks extremely ugly.

>>18841

It's a big game

>>18844

You messed up your sage. You put a space at the end which voids it and bumps the thread instead.

>>18794

Hell fucking yes

Mechwarrior Gamenight Soon Fellow Anons

>>18927

Was it any good when it was happening?

>>18739

Custom servers are something entirely different.

Not my favourite but nobody here mentioned the J-Phoenix series?
