Anyone know how much improved Operation Osaka is? Operation Tokyo was alright but it needed some more depth.

Gundam Breaker 3, don't bother with 4, it's shit.

Titanfall 2 is still worth a pirate for the singleplayer, do try it if you haven't already.

Daemon X Machina looks fun.

>>16083790

Not good.

>>16083790

It's to Front Mission what Assault Horizon is to Ace Combat.

>>16083790

Front mission evolved is the game where the developers took out everything customers wanted in front mission, and replaced with an extremely cheap armored core rip-off. Also missions where you get out of the robot for no raisin to do on-foot missions.

>>16083790

The only thing good about it is the opening cutscene where robots slam into each other for an impressive melee.

>>16083790

It's fun if you ignore the infantry missions, and the fact that it is a Front Mission game. The customization has some nice stuff to offer.

The one thing that always made me interested in the game was the mech-to-foot combat. How good is it on that front?

>>16083656

I really enjoyed it. Went in with no expectations and had a great time. I will probably replay it soon.

>mech-to-foot combat

It is kind of mediocre. If you are talking about fighting against infantry then you can stomp and shoot but it's nothing special. If its about destroying Wanzers (rare pre-scripted fights) then you just roll over to a cover, spam rocket launcher and roll to the next cover if the previous one gets destroyed.

If you want really challenging mech-to-infantry combat then play Shogi on maximum difficulty. Infantry is guaranteed to rape you while you are in the robot if you are not cautious.

Also you could try Titanfall 1/2 or Gundam Battle Operations 2 for some quirky shit. Can't really think of any other action vidya that has remotely good mecha vs infantry combat where you can play both aside from MGSV PP, I guess, since you can mount Walker Gear and you can fight the Sahelanthropus.

Does Lost Planet 2 count as a Mecha game?

It has the best mech-to-foot combat I've ever experienced.

>>16086351

>>16087184

Kind of mediocre best describes the whole being infantry experience. You can just tell it was tacked on compared to everything else. If you could interact with the environment pointlessly Shenmue style and just talk to people, the two things you'd generally want to do most of all, you're simply not allowed to or ever get the opportunity. The environments are pretty to look at but become annoying to go through because there is nothing to do but shoot dumb bots and get on with it.

Left Alive generally looks like it's a passion project by veterans, but goddamn, it has little to no personality considering the fucking talent they brought for this game, marketing is anemic and every video they put out for it is hard for normalfaggots to like. It's deemed to die after it's out because they can't give it any personality other than MGS-Front Mission, fucking Toriyama and Nomura probably stole most of the overall gaming budget and just gave this game the scraps. Goddamn voice acting is phoned it, this really feels like Squeenix giving some money and letting them fail on their own.

Did anyone get into Macross 30 for the PS3? I heard it's not too hard to play if you don't know japanese.

>those floaty and rigid animations (especially animations or rolling and crawling)

>cars have no shadows

>some models look like they don't belong together (bad lighting/non-shaded textures?)

>meme-tier lens flares

Call me a normalnigger, but I see nothing but a blunder. It's like the devs don't know what the fuck they are doing while thinking that hiring popular directors, designers and artists could make everything work itself out.

Though I must say that I'd have ignored most of that shit if the game would be more focused on Wanzers, at least like the damn Evolved.

>>16087430

That's the tragedy, there's no fucking direction on this game and they're doing the best of whatever bottom of the trash heap budget they have. Compared to what Nip Moonman and Platinum gave out with NieR Automata which had a lower budget compared to their recent shitheaps like FF15. This game was made to die.

>>16087430

You forgot the most unforgivable thing.

>Calling the wanzers fucking "mechs"

>>16083626

Left Alive comes out in like a month.

>>16083656

>tfw have to download all the multiplayer shit with it

>tfw 63 gb

>tfw still worth it

>>16087435

The faggots at Square probably went full retard on "low budget games" after Automata, since it was the only game to surpass sales expectations that year, while being made on a budget of four hamburgers and Yoko Taro's drinking money. But they didn't fucking realize that both Yoko Taro and Platinum almost never had an actual budget to make a videogame, and that not everyone can work NEET magic.

>>16083790

Evolved is a spin-off that would be better of as a open-ended game instead of its linearity and was too short.

>>16088030

To this day I don't understand how the fuck SE manages to stay in business considering they don't have a FIFA in their pocket and are likely the worst company in the industry when it comes to mismanaging money.

>>16088952

They also distribute a whole lot of manga, as well as distribute Western games in Japan (Such as CoD).

>>16089020

I found an indie game that looked like it was Omega Boost with mech customization, but it ended up being just shit. I can't remember its name, though.

>>16083626

Front Mission Evolved is a fucking lie. On the rails BS. Hope you like moving forward in a straight line. Not a front mission game at all.

>>16083790

Frankly Front Mission Evolve was arguably the best mech game we've had in the past decade, excluding the on-foot missions.

>>16092379

I remember getting to mission 12 or something and enjoying it but hating the constant switching plots.

>>16087312

Am i better off getting the console version in that case or is it just a minor annoyance when pirating?

>>16094759

I've only played the console version so I dont know if theres anything wrong with pirated or emulation.
