I thought I'd post this here instead of /v/ since I figured it'd get drowned out and this is a slower board but what Mecha games would you recommend? I've only played the Xeno series which isn't entirely Mecha. I just saw that they made a Front Mission remake and I dunno much about the series, would you recommend it?
>>22007520Definitely get into Front Mission. It’s the best mecha vidya aside from Armored Core and Xenogears. Emulate the originals to avoid censorship and shit like that. Front Mission 5 was the series’ send-off, but unlike most series, the last mainline game didn’t kill the franchise, it is actually the best of the whole series. Also play Front Mission Alternative, which is a super interesting take on RTS where you only have 3 units. Others may disagree, but Front Mission 4 sucks. This came out as the series was declining, and before FM5’s final push to glory. Unless you get way into the Ace Combat-style lore, you may get bored with the bland visuals and samey missions.
>>22007589Not sure how I forgot about Front Mission Gun Hazard. Just play it right now.
>>22007520>would you recommend it?Yes I would.I myself got into it through this remake and enjoyed myself, but as the anon above me said, you should probably try playing SNES original first.
>>22007520Geppy for a schmupVarious Super Robot Wars Vanguard BanditsVIrtual on
want to also ask, preferably for more realistic kind of mecha that's not mechwarrior.or an RTS/tactics or something customisable. phantom brigade showed a lot of promise but I think they abandoned the game. .if there was something like that, but higher quality, and gundam, I'd be in heaven.or something that's a simulator with buttons in the cockpit you could press, with actual systems to learn to operate.
>>22007730phantom brigade was reased on 28 february
>>22007730>I want a high quality realistic gundam RTS with first person simulator mechanicsIt's safe to say that the game you want does not exist. I highly recommend the Battletech tactics game with one of the 3 big overhaul mods or Mechwarrior 5 now that it's been improved.
>>22007746yeah, I know it doesn't exist. it hurts a lot every time.I played a ton of DCS, but jets are jets. I waited so long for at least a space sim like that, and there was one, but then the dev got into an almost fatal accident and abandoned the game to spend time with family. feels like something I would need to do myself. but I'm not a programmer.https://youtu.be/J2ZNBkI4rMQalso this is sadly not in the game
>>22007770actually maybe it is in the game, but i don't think it influences anything gameplay wise
>>22007520>>22007701If you like robots don't play the PC remake, the original despite being from fucking 1995 has WAY BETTER art and animation. The art and animation of the remake is utter vomit inducing trash. Front mission is first and foremost a love letter to mecha, garage kits and robot dioramas. Square outsourced this game to a third-rate European studio and this abominations came to be. How people in this board mention the improved UI but not the crap graphics is something I can't understand. Play the DS version
>>22007821Anon, the original/DS has next to no animation.Shooting and taking damage is just displacement of sprite parts, and melee punching has only like 2 frames.That said pixel art is indeed top tier.
>>22007889
>>22007894
>>22007730>more realistic kind of mecha that's not mechwarriorCome home
>>22007730>or something that's a simulator with buttons in the cockpit you could press, with actual systems to learn to operateHighfleet.It's not conventional /mecha/ as in your vehicles aren't humanoid, but calling them "ships" is a stretch too.It's all about immersion, analog ui and micromanagement.
If you like Gundam Build Fighters I recommend LBX on 3DS. The gameplay is like Armored Core but the setting is like GBF with kids fighting with toys, very comfy
>>22007910isometric twinstick shooter doesn't really do it for me, but I guess I could give it another go.
>>22007918I waited that game pretty hard but the gameplay just didn't stick for me. on both strategic and action layers. I am cursed.
>>22007921>twinstick shooter They did add this at some point didn't they?It's not designed to be a twin stick shooter, by default your cockpit rotates in relation to your legs, and your legs have tank controls. It filtered thousands so they caved in, and added twin stick mode.
>>22007938well that's just sadwhy can people not figure out tank controls? they can drive cars but not play a game?
Everyone shit on this game back in 2013 for not being a jrpg but I had fun with the customization. It's not bad for a 3rd person shooter.
>>22007942You do know that there are manual and auto gearboxes for cars too?I don't see the issue with more options, especially since using twin stick mode makes certain mission harder, because you have less control over where to go and where to shoot at the same time.If the game didn't click with you with whatever control scheme was on by default, try the other one.Or juggle them between missions, it kinda adds to the "simulation" aspect, like calibrating mech for space or ground combat.
>>22007949I will never not defend this autistic child, because whenever you're actually controlling a wanzer (and not a dude or a turret), it FEELS like it.Gun Hazard is just Valken 1.5 with Amano artwork, and whatever that PS2 mmo was called, can't be played anymore.FME is the only game that actually gives you direct control AND can be played anytime with no servers dependency.
>>22007949Played fine. All 3 hours of it.
May as well ask in this thread but whats a mecha game with cool mech customization?
>>22007889I only played SNES, and I assumed DS has the same animations, for what I see in youtube that is the case, through the sfx are worse on DS. SNES has better poses and sense of weight than the remake. You can feel the VOTOMS when the robots slide across the ground. In the remake, the way that the arm that is not in use hangs lifeless from the body tells you the devs don't understand shit about robots, how could they let the arms hang like that? Looks like shit.Go to the Japanese trailers in youtube and see the comments, its all people asking why did it turn that bad if the FM2 remake looked ok and it's the same company. It is low budget shit, you have be tasteles and blind to enjoy this level of butchering of the original.And, most 3d models are offmodel or do not resemble the originals at all.
Why do you fucks keep feeding the newfags
>>22008037you were a newfag too once
>>22008037Gatekeeping doesn't work.Not when From Software releases fucking Armored Core 6 and it has more views than fucking western AAA games scheduled for the same time slot.Mecha is normalfag mainstream shit now baby, deal with it.
>>22008037>>22008043I refuse to believe that anyone in his 30s can be this immature and insecure. Almost guaranteed you are 21 or 22. Anyone past his 20s can be this retarded keeping the sekret club attitude.
>>22008037I just wanna talk about mecha games. Who cares about the OP's goal if it lets me talk about them.
>>22008087Ever heard of Ultimate Knight Windom XP? With its prototype being called Bootfighter Windom XP?It's an indie Gundam VS clone with robots being operating systems and what not. It has functional multiplayer (you set up server yourself), easy as shit custom pilot system (PNGs and sound files) and huge amount of mods and full conversions.It's also old as fuck and probably dead, but it also had singleplayer mode with diablo styled loot system (no visuals of course).
>>22008037why do you fuckers keep coming from /a/gwitch ended already, fuck back off.
>>22007520You will play Starsiege
>>22008961I will play it one day.But not today.
>>22007520I've recently acquired Zone of the Enders 1 and 2. Other than reading the description in the back, I'll be going in blind.
>>22008961I can't get that shit to run
>>22007949I thought my mecha love could get me through whatever gay journos didn't like about it. It's bad. Imagine the worst Armored Core missions, but with a higher Square-Enix budget for graphics and cutscenes. Gun Hazard is better in every conceivable way and stands on its own as a great game.With the existence of Armored Core 6, there is now no reason at all to plumb the vidya ghetto for /m/ action.
>>22007520I didn't appreciate westslop mech games in the 90s, but I have a greater love for them today. Heavy Gear was made by the team who did the acclaimed MechWarrior 2. Its assembly system is actually how I wanted Armored Core to evolve, with fewer top-level part categories, but deeper customization of each part. The action gameplay is more methodical like MW2, and it ain't pretty, but it's fun.Heavy Gear 2 doesn't have assembly at all. You choose a specific "class" of mech and that's it for the whole campaign. I dropped the game almost immediately.
>>22009075https://starsiegeplayers.com/here you go, works fine with W10. You just need to monkey with the graphics settings so you're using Glide and a 4:3 ratio
Play Omega Boost. Prove you aren't scared of the rail.
>>22007730>>22007744Modern games as service models have warped people's brains. You can't just release a game, patch the bugs and move on.PB definitely suffered from its limited scope and lack of personality though. It's crying out for a sequel where they take the systems they built and pile on variety and content.
>>22007920The Custom Robo series is also in this same vein. Technically, the robos are tiny and digital, so it’s hard to call them mecha, but it’s absolutely mecha inspired, has gameplay reminiscent of arena fighters like Gundam Versus, and has a shitload of variety with its parts. Good luck finding physical copies if you aren’t willing to sail the high seas, though.
Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, get the GOG copy not the one on steam
>>22011695Is the GOG one fixed? I stayed away from the steam version because I hear it’s utterly shambolic
>>22011697it will run, but there are some fixes you can do and you'll have to set your mouse pulling rate to 125 Hz. Get the ShogoFix from Moddb and look for a new dinput.dll. you can play it without all that if I remember but it will kind of suck. Still better than the steam version.
>>22011697Just reinstalled it to see if I remembered right. yep it will work off the bat with GOG but will be buggy and it doesn't default to the mouse to shoot, go to mouse settings and use the arrow keys to cycle the options on the right and left mouse and maybe change the movement keys in the keyboard settings.
>>22007520has anyone got a list of good mech games for either a home arcade and/or a handheld mini?cheers.
>>22007520ZOTN: Fist of Mars for GBA.Probably the best not-VN of a SD Gundam ripoff game evah.
>>22008961tried to play the DOS games and the controls are funky. and shooting flying enema is a pain.Mechwarrior 2 did it better imo, for mech games of that era.also its FPS spinoff, Tribes, was way more popular?
>>22011508>The Custom Robo seriesto me it felt like a mix of Power Stone X Digimon, except you collect robo parts instead of monsters.
>>22007730The pb team hust released a small update and apparently are planning on working on the game further.
>>22013419nice.hope they tweaked the ai and levelsafter a couple days it was same battle over and over and I just quit.
>>22009137Yea but if you can't afford armored core 6 right now it's a good way to kill 3 hours
>>22007821>If you like robots don't play the PC remakeDamn, that sucks. I bought it to play on my Steamdeck at work. I haven't started it yet so maybe I should just return it. On another note, why do Mecha and tactics games just go so well together. Battletech is pretty good, and we also have long running series like SRW.
>>22013828>if you can't afford armored core 6 right nowGo into the AC discord right now and I completely guarantee a tranny will gift you a pre-purchase
>>22014584I don't have a system that can run it yet
>>22014596This, buying AC6 also means getting PS5, I guess I could get the PS4 version but my autism won't let me do that
>>22013397>shooting flying enema is a painI watch too much JAV
>>22007921Go into settings and switch to tank controls, your damage received in a lot of cases depends on what part of armour got hit (less dmg for shots that hit thick front armour, more for rear shots, ect) you can set the kind of control to a vehicle type if you can't handle the tank controls on the agrav vehicles
>>22008018A lot of the AC games have cool customization, mechwarrior 5/mwo imo have decent customization due to being able too see the different weapon slots open up when a weapon is placed in it, it also has a fair amount of colours(3 per mech tho :'(' ) and a large selection of decals and camo patterns but those are behind premium currency. You can grind events for prem currency/decals/camos but it won't be easy on trial mechs and can take awhile (just emulate AC games)
>>22014584I refuse to believe it's that easy
>>22015957Just show your twink butt
>>22015975Maybe I'll just pay the $80 tag
>>22014584ac6 isnt worth getting groomed into suicide
>>22007889sometimes close to no animation better than more animations.I really dislike looking at remake personally. It looks whatever.
>>22008031so the snes front mission is the better one? never played any
>>22007520>Into the Breach if you like puzzle tactics type games. its a rogue like from the two guys that made FTL>Fugo Melodies of Steelisn't really a biped mech but it scratched the same itch for me. if you can stomach the furries, the world and story is actually pretty neat. the gameplay is fun but does run a bit repetitive towards the end.
>>22016112>Fugo Melodies of Steel>if you can stomach the furriesowo
>>22016085other anon, but "better" is very relative term. Each version worth playthru, each for different reason.Just get the one you want to play the most and go for it.Researching what is the "best" version is bad mindset to be, that way you'll never play anything.Best version of the game is the one you play.>>22016139I miss the time before kemono was some sort of cursed thing.Thanks internet.
>>22016085The DS has worse sound, but seems to be the same as the snes game but with more story and content, read some comparisons online by yourself, but I would say the NDS version is the better pick
>>22016154what do you mean? people always jerked off to animal people since the dawn of times.
>>22016567Yea, but at least they were doing that in private without broadcasting their fetishes for everyone to see thanks to internets, so it become public knowledge which painted each release in their colors. Especially since age of social media they can't shut up about it either, cause that makes them "special".Ignorance was a bliss.
>>22016604just don't look up porn and you won't find it>social mediaif you use that its your own damn fault
>>22016606It's not about looking for porn, nor social media, I mean even this anon already goes full shitty emoticon mode after one word and image >>22016139 . It's everywhere now if you try to engage online. Good luck finding a place for Sola-to-Robo or something without some weirdo chiming in.Social media is not bad if you just use it for finding good artists desu. But that means sometimes you stumble upon some shitty bio which reminds you of that type of people who can't keep their shit to themselves.
>>22016139> stomach the furriesIs this a vore comment
I recommend Gundam Lost War Chronicles.I consider it the best Gundam game on PS2, and as far as I know, the only PS2 Gundam game with cockpit view.Beaten it twice. Thinking about the third time.
>>22014924A Steam Deck costs $100 less brand new, and of course is much cheaper than that used. I don't want to bully you into acquiring entertainment when you're already poor, but there are options.
>>22016717>offering handheld replacement for home consolesteam fanatics are weird
>>22016738Deck will play it better than a PS4 lol
>>22016618its a meme, you dip.loosen up.
>>22016618Believe me when I say I understand your rage really well, but nothing we can do about it, just try to ignore as much as you can and do your own thing. It's going to get even worse so try to enjoy stuff while you still can
>>22008961which one do i getis it like mechwarrior where theres starsiege mercenaries and shitshould i just download it from some abandonware site or something
>>22016618how fucking fragile are you that youre upset at >wirdoeswhen youre on 4chan, and on /m/you couldnt have picked a less normal place

>>22016650>I consider it the best Gundam game on PS2Better even than Zeonic Front? Sell me on it, anon.
>>22017385There's one Starsiege and it's called Starsiege. There's also Starsiege Tribes but that's a completely seperate series of multiplayer shooters.
>>22016970>ragemore of just annoyance and wish for people appreciate sola to robo and such for what they are, without going full retardand a lil' bit nostalgia for simpler times
>>22018336>>22016970as opposed to coomers jizzing for decades for any other characters? every woman in gundam has civilizations spilled and talked to death about, even the absolute shit oneslike reccoa that people want to hatefuck. how is any of that shit different?just ignore the coomers and move on with your life, holy fuck how are you faggots even on this website
>>22018519Never really seen that sort of gundam discussion for awhile, or it was rare enough to ignore since it's usually have it's own dedicated general threads and people have some sense to not spill it elsewhere.with other fetishes it's always spilled everywhere.>holy fuck how are you faggots even on this websitealways been here, maybe just grown tired of constant anons with uncontrollable libido
>>22007520>what Mecha games would you recommend?Trails of Cold Steel. JRPG series set in the Erebonian Empire (basically fantasy Prussia empire that is in turmoil due to modernization). It has ancient Escaflowne styled mechs that fight in melee combat. The mechs are introduced towards the end of the first game and then become a staple of every Cold Steel game after. I especially loved the first two games story wise. Those two are one of the very few games I have replayed multiple times. The latter three games were more mixed story wise but were still very fun, especially in the combat and character building department. Superb English localization and voice dub, great aesthetics and great music.1/2
>>22018964>recommended a shit series
>>220189642/2Sakura Wars is a visual novel/SRPG hybrid. The first game has a fan translation, and the fifth game was localized (you can either play with Japanese or English voices, the English dub is okay). You pilot magitek mechs to fight against demon possessed robots. The first game is set in romanticized 1920s Japan. The fifth game is set in New York. The fifth game has pretty good levels (same dev team that would go on to make Valkyria Chronicles). Your mechs can also transform into jets and partake in aerial SRPG battles too. Has some pretty whacky designs for the enemy mechs. Music for both games is good.
>>220189733/3Last one I forgot to mention: Ring of Red. It is a mech SRPG set in an alternate Cold War timeline. The divergence point begins in August 1945, when Japan does not surrender after the dropping of the bombs. The Soviets aren't intimidated and invade Japan, claiming the relatively undefended North while the Americans are bogged down fighting the Japanese in the South. Having exhausted their momentum and the war turning into a stalemate, the Allies decide to settle and thus Japan is partitioned between North and South.A proxy war between the US and the USSR through their North and South puppets breaks out in 1950, but once again ends in a stalemate and the creation of a demilitarized zone in 1954. Another 10 years later, in August 1964, the plot of the game begins when a legendary Japanese war hero (who also fought in the Vietnam war) hijacks an experimental mech for the Soviets. The player's team is disavowed by the South Japanese as mercenaries and invades North Japan with a company of soldiers (and some assistance from rebels in NJ) to recover or destroy the stolen experimental mech.The best part of Ring of Red is its cinematic presentation of combat. When two units enter into combat, a 90 second montage begins showing your mech slowly march into enemy fire. You can order your squads around. When the crew on your mech loads the next shell, you look down the scope at the enemy mech wait as the hit percentage slowly goes up. As your scope is zeroing in on the enemy mech, you can see your infantrymen lobbing grenades or being turned into pink mist or being gassed while intense music is playing.3/4
>>220189984/4Unfortunately, the spectacular combat is also the game's great weakness. Often times, the combat sequences can take upwards of two minutes because time pauses when an infantry squadron is ordered to do something or a mech uses a special ability. It usually takes at least 2 or 3 combat sequences blow up an enemy mech (sometimes as much as 5 if an enemy mech is in a fortified position such as a city or if it is a boss mech). Missions can have you face 10 to 30 enemy mechs. A mission can easily take over an hour and a half, and there are 17 missions. So you're looking at a 30-50+ hour long game. Perhaps if you could fight up to 2 or 3 mechs in an engagement and cut down the number total engagements by 1/2 or 2/3, making the game into 10-20 hours long, the game would have been more enjoyable. After the novelty of the first few hours wears off, you really want to play the game on turbo.
>>22018964it has very slow as hell start with too much school anime stuff before you ever get to mechs and even those act like summons afaik for first two games at least?Just play Xenoblade X if you want mecha jRPG

>>22007520People will probably shit on me for it, but Warframe is somewhere between mecha and sentai. It's basically mosou.
>>22021128>Grindwalls>autistic nigger children>woke shit>chink shit>irl trade mafiaWarframe peaked in 2014, then it all went to shit.
>>22021639Tbh Warframe's art design carries it hard. The lore is pretty cool, but the gameplay is grindy as fuck. The wokeshit is relatively easy to ignore, the chinkslop however is much harder and sticks out like a sore thumb.
>>22021711>art designWhat art design? Game doesn't look unique anymore.Modern warframe has this shitty generic space fantasy aesthetic, which you could easily mistake for Destiny/Godfall/FOTM service game with fog up the ass and no dynamic lighting.
This? You can't play this anymore.And you never will.
>>22021128Warframe used to be really great during 2014 and 2015, backback when it was actually dangerous. Back when it played like Left 4 Dead, where you moved for slowly, faced fewer enemies but they were way more dangerous (getting piled by 2 chargers and an ancient could be fatal), and you couldn't spam abilities. Content updates were also very regular.Nowadays it's just a boring horde shooter. It's all about the grind. No danger. We don't get events anymore, and you're lucky to get two updates per year, if that. Went years between the War Within and the Sacrifice and the New War.>>22021711>Warframe's art design carries it hardToo bad DE fired their best deluxe skin artist, Ignus Dei.

>>22022257>punk rock with mechsInteresting
When mech RTS games were a thing?
Those were the days
>>22022354*remember when
>>22022354thoughts on iron harvest?
>>22021816>>22021819Mainly meant the old stuff, yeah. Especially the older Warframe designs. Newer Warframes look like shit.
>>22021833I feel like the content draught preceding New War and Duviri was disastrous. Especially after all the hype. The game also lost its long running director to another DE project. I never got to play much back in 2015, but even several years ago I remember events actually kind of being something. Now there's not even a pretense there. Tennocon is in like a week though, so maybe they'll announce something new. But even if it's something new, it'll take Retardical Shitremes 10 years to develop 1 hour of content.
>>22022583Not good. The Mechs are something you tend not to want to actually build.
>>22022583It's just Company of Heroes but WW1 and mechs except the mechs are like the worst vehicles you can think of from CoH. Solid worldbuilding though.
I highly recommend Heavy Gear 2, all I had to do to get the repack working (you can find it in the comments of the myabandonware entry) was to follow the 2 setup instructions and run it in win98 compat. So fucking fun man
Not exactly mecha game but I wish this game has english translation. The concept of playing as a survivor in the city where Kaiju is rampaging is such a cool concept. I've always wanted to play games like this as a kidWhy the fuck does it has to be stuck In japan?
>>22022836HEAVY GEAR!?
I emulated in because lolswitch but now I bought it for my PS5 just to show my support. I know it must not be selling well but anything new from the series is a blessing at this point.Being an FM fan is being in eternal suffering.
>>22007520Do you like mecha? Do you like turned based strategy or tactics games? Ever wished you could run a mercenary company, where you had to scrape charred remains of pilots out of the cockpit and rebuild the mechs from scrap and salvage to keep things running? Do you like spreadsheets?MegaMek, especially with the campaign component MekHQ, is a fun and free experience. Make sure to grab the development build and enable StratCon which adds way more diversity to its generated scenarios and better BV balancing.
>>22022836>>22009165Oh yeah, Heavy Gear 2 is one of the greatest PC game of that era IMO, the sense of scale and even the zero G missions at the end were pure Ludo. Closest modern games with that feel are Titanfall 1 and 2, the mechs themselves are pretty similar in size and capabilities, same with the pilot being able to get out and eject from his mech. Those games are great too, I still play TF2 with Northstar mod on a regular basis.And of course I'm waiting for AC6, 3 days to go.
>>22030726>Do you like turned based strategy or tactics games?No, I only like real time direct control games.
>>22007520Bari-Arm
>>22032574Can you run Heavy Gear 2 in a modern PC?
>>22036466Yes see >>22022836
>>22036466Yes but it's a slight crapshoot, better than it was a decade ago where HG2 refused to cooperate at all with modern windows. You might need to adjust the occasional setting in dgVoodoo for it to really play nice on your computer. You can try both games with these repacks and see how they fair on your PC.HG1: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1sIxK_cFh2dxV4QU6PBUPaJpCixPYo2RLHG2: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1FXvaFOIqMxy5mWtZPBlwSHzJKHRM5xFx
>>22007589>Others may disagree, but Front Mission 4 sucks. This came out as the series was declining, and before FM5’s final push to glory. Unless you get way into the Ace Combat-style lore, you may get bored with the bland visuals and samey missions.I long wondered back when I emulated it myself if I was just getting filtered or not, but the missions felt so fuckin long and bland.I feel a lot better hearing that, I'll have to give 5 a shot.
>>22007730>or something that's a simulator with buttons in the cockpit you could pressit's not serious or realistic, but Super Control Mecha MG has this as it's main gimmick, it's a DS game, it was never released in the west like all good mecha stuff, but it got a fan translation some years ago, oh and it's also by sandlot who did a bunch of other mecha games with experimental controls, oh and EDF, maybe you heard about it.
>>22036694neat

>>22036541Why are people shilling this games so hard now? It's just one canadian spammer? Shit looks like the average 90s 3d games with designs ripping off votoms AT, why the sudden interest?
>>22037716STFU mofo, HG is a classic.
>>22037731Classic westernslop you mean, I rather play gungriffon or the gundam side story games than this leaf ripoff crap.
>>22037716Maybe actually give it a shot to see what the hubbub is about? It's a free abandonware game. But yes it being an AT ripoff is part of the selling point. If you were ever curious about what piloting an AT might actually be like then I think HG2 does a pretty good close approximation. HG2 also just does things that other MechWarrior titles/clones don't do like melee, space combat, guided mortar attacks, going fast as fuck. Its a fun time and a severly underrated title that most people haven't touched. Also I like the Heavy Gear /tg/ stuff as well so that's a bonus to me.
>>22030726>BattletechYou lost me.
>>22037818it could be another setting and you'd still be looking at top down sprites or spreadsheets with your pilots, payroll and such
>>22037883
>>22037808I replied out of spite because the anon spamming this A-OK westoid game pretending it always has been an staple on /m/ and that is some kind of mecha classic. Maybe the game is decent and good for you If you enjoy it, but I have much better mecha games in my backlog now.
>>22016604>>22016154>>22018336>>22016970>>22016618Cyberconnect2 have big titty furry mousepads and softcore porn on their website.https://www.cc2.co.jp/cc2store/?page_id=5528https://www.cc2.co.jp/cc2store/?cat=16Fuga IS CC2s fetish. And all the .hack furries. They even added furries back in DBZ. I can see complaining about Renamon fuckers, Gardevoir fuckers (Vaporeon now I guess?), Sonic furries, and even Klonoa fuckers but none of those sell official furry big titty mousepads.
>>22037883Using Battletech ruled and Battletech sprites. It's not like this is a custom wargame engine, it's Battletech no matter how you slice it. But I might give it a try one day anyways.
>>22037931name 5
>>22036694Remind me of Remote Control Dandy except you are not actually inside the cockpit
Gun Hazard is king.
Doing a fist focused run in cybernator is fun as shit and surprisingly easier than with gunsI first did a save scummy run using the vulcan and laser rifle and died mutiple times while when i played normally with fist only i just died twice on the last level
>>22018998This is maybe the third time in my entire life i've seen someone mention ring of red, I didn't think it was that unknown back when I played it but man it's never talked about. Good presentation, the trailer/intro was fun too.
>>22037931Heavy Gear has always been a thing for mechfags your filthy secondary. It's probably older than you are.
>>22043945Yes but I also like it's cousins AS Valkan and Metal Warriors.>>22045584Fist can be extemely powerful but I found they made me too vulnerable as well. Easier to hold down fire and dodge
>>22045584Please call it Valken, also most likely you play the aneon genesis translation or the switch version both have portraits and the full dialoges, that's Valken. CYBERNATOR has a dumb name, ugly cover art and chopped of the dialogs and portraits,using the cybernator names implies you like the western butchered version of a great game
>>22051891While Cybernator is gimped did you ever think that anon just had the SNES game from his childhood? Also desu the dialog and portraits can be annoying on your 6th or 7th run of the game.
If anyone has a Steam Deck and is interested in PS3 /m/ games, Gundam Breaker 2 and Kamen Rider Battride War Sousei seem to be playable at 30FPS with some minor graphical glitches/hiccups. There's a severe lack of info regarding RPCS3 compatibility specifically while running on the Deck, let alone for niche JP games, so if anyone else has recs for other /m/ games that also run well I would be glad to hear. Not PS3 but Battride War II for Wii U also runs very good, can get constant 60FPS.
>>22007730>more realistic kind of mecha that's not mechwarriorBattletech
>>22007589>Emulate the originals to avoid censorship and shit like thatWhat censorship?
>>22074573Censorship like "all the made up shit the fan translation added," yknow that kind.Right next to the manga that never existed. Western FM fans will believe anything.
>>22074750Figured as much
HIGH MACS SIMULATOR
>>22074954where's this from?
What a stupid fucking question especially when ac6 released.
>>22076888Lol anon just told you. High Macs Sim. It's a fangame based on Gungriffon.
>>22074750>Right next to the manga that never existedAre you fucking insane?
>>22076953You know, I hoped to run it on my old as shit PC and just couldn't. It would be stuttering like motherfucker and not a single fix would help me, so I stood my ass up from the chair and went out to buy new PC.Maybe OP can neither run AC6 nor buy new PC for it yet?I mean game isn't that demanding, but my shit was legit 10+ years old, since I was ignoring most new games since Dark Souls 3, never felt the need to upgrade.
>>22007910I want this, but in first person
>>22079675What is the point of robot game if you don't see your robot?
>>22007520
>>22079312He's talking about Front Mission Zero, whose existence is doubtful at best.
>>22079814>Front Mission ZeroI have never even heard of this.
>>22079909Angelo Pineda of the Front Mission Series Translation Team claimed that there was a manga written just before FM1 and Front Mission Comics came out that established who the antagonist of the entire series (save Gun Hazard) was and that the original Japanese version of Front Mission 5 had references to it to the point the translation team omitted those references.Around last year, doubts about its existence were expressed. One reason being is that, if FM0 is very important, how come there wasn't any re-release of it or something along those lines, especially with how the games foreshadowed the villain on their own without relying on anyone who read this supposed manga.
>>22079256I just got in the thread lol, but thanks! I'm gonna go check it
>>22079956Lost media sometimes gets found, like that one Garage game, so I wouldn't write it off completely.That said I assume there aren't anyone online claiming to have copies of those magazines, where it was published, or anything of the kind?
>>22022354>>22022358>>22022583https://youtu.be/71CsWqOq0IEhttps://www.beyondallreason.info/
>>22079726I want to BE the robotCockpit views are also great
>>22082215Settle down Setsuna. Though I get the desire given that good first person views from the cockpit is rare.
>>22080595Nice list. Bangai O can't be recommended enough, especially for Itano Circus enthusiasts
>>22082215Oh so you're one of them furry types but with a twist.
>>22083128You really should lurk before posting.
>>22083146No.There are people who like robots and there are mentally ill degenerates.
>>22007730Phantom Brigade had some REALLY FUCKING GOOD core gameplay, but just endless nothing in almost every other regard. Mediocre customisation, no story, no characters, and it lacks any sort of noteworthy aesthetic flair.Such a massive shame. I tell you, the game could have been fantastic if they didn't seemingly stop caring entirely once the engine was finished.
>>22082215A finger curls on the monkey's paw.
>>22080595surprised Radiant Silvergun isn't in there, I know it's a schmup rather than a traditional mecha game but it is /m/ as fuck
>>22085115He gets it
>>22074750does anyone have more information about the fan translation being wrong? the only thing I have found out is that the squad name is indeed "Canyon Crow" in the JP version and that the fan translation deliberately changed the name
>>22085473The Canyon Crow debacle is enough to poison the well. If you're that brazen enough to change a translation while claiming the high ground on authenticity, how can anyone trust your "uncensored" script to not be just an extremely embellished script that drops fucks and shits left and right because the translator thinks that that's how you communicate the gravitas of Japanese dialog?
>>22086000Still better than curated official garbage.
>>22074954is the cold start bootup sequence where you actually press buttons actually in the game?
>>22083923really don't care about those things. what got me to stop is that shit got repetitive, same reused maps, same tactics. I just rolled everyone.only special missions were somewhat interesting and I only got like 2 of them. it was still in EA then though and I got to the coast on the strategy map, but I just got bored.
anyone have recommendations for mecha games inbetween Armored Core and Mechwarrior?AC (at least 6 and what others have said of some others) is way too floaty and fast paced for what i want from a mecha game, but Mechwarrior is kinda the opposite and pretty slow paced and sluggish. feel like i'd want something inbetween, though if leaning in either direction slightly towards Mechwarrior. like my mechs feeling weighty and clunky just not as lumbering as mechwarrior always is. someone recommended AC 5/verdict day?will look into it but would like some more, especially as im iffy on considering how the rest of the series seems to be.
>>22087129AC5 is slower than 6, but is also more floaty, as hovering is your main ways of traveling between wallhopping. There is less wallhopping and more hovering in ACVD.Try Armored Core 2 instead, it's the slowest one in the entire series.Try Front Mission Evolved, just ignore everyone's shitting on it and try it.Try Gundam Breaker 3 if you can get your hands on it, but its speed ramps up towards the end of the game.Try that one PS2 Votomos game.Try Gundam Vs Zeta Gundam, the last not 2fast4u Gundam Vs game.Try Gungriffon and Hi-Macs simulator.Try SLAI and Phantom Crash.Oh am I naming old as shit games from PS2-PS3 era? Because mecha games were in deep ass crisis for the last decade and a half, because of picky niggers like you.>oh this is too fast>oh this is too slow>oh this is too anime>oh this is not anime enoughYou either like robots or don't, asshat.
>>22087188Not that guy, but I just want either a new ACE game with more mechs in it or Chromehounds to get a re-release.
>>22087188>You either like robots or don't, asshat.thats not true at all, and you're just being salty.I mean genre alone breaks that idea open on its head. no one sane thinks you dont like mecha if you like mecha strategy games but not shooter-action, or vice versa. same with a plethora of other genres and sub genre differences. thanks for the suggestions though, but getting mad at someone for wanting/liking a specific style of gameplay just absurd. if people dont like a genre of gameplay, they wont like it, mecha or not.>PS3 is old nowfuck me i haven't touched a console in so long....
>>22007589FM4 was my first front mission game but I dropped it because the gameplay was hearing guns go PLINK PLINK PLINK and watching stupidly big enemy healthbars decrease at a snail's pace.
>>22087219It's fine to like shooters and not like strategies and vice versa, but that dude doesn't even know what he wants exactly "neither this nor this", like he has some ideal game inside his head that's too abstract to be a reality."Between AC and MW" sounds exactly like FME, but I can bet your ass he will either shit on it, or outright not bother with because muh review scores.
>>22087129>feel like i'd want something inbetween, though if leaning in either direction slightly towards Mechwarrior. like my mechs feeling weighty and clunky just not as lumbering as mechwarrior always is.Gungriffon and Heavy Gear might be your jam, though neither of them come close to the customization that AC offers, but then again what does? Also ACV might scratch that itch if AC6 is too fast (never touch AC4/4A, you'll get whiplash) Also Titanfall 2, yes it's more of a straight up shooter than most mech games but the Titan combat does have the weighty yet mobile feel you seek, you might dislike the pilot gameplay though.
>>22087590c'mon, you're being unreasonable too.thats still ignoring how utterly wildly inaccurate it is to say>You either like robots or don't, asshat.over someone simply having a preference.i've played a plethora of strategy games in my time but i can tell you some of them even in the same genre (such as medieval era) are good and some are shit. but i dont suddenly fucking hate all medieval strategy games because i prefer one and how it does things over the other and want more like it.the statement is peak absurdism.
>>22024481oh man I totally get you, I wanted those games too. I hear that the gameplay needs some polish but the premise still sounds like gold to me.
>>22087617is that the same heavy gear universe as the tabletop game heavy gear blitz? because HGB is pretty awesome. I've played titanfall and both parts of it were fun. was more of got into it because of friends so once they quit playing it, i did too. once you play with people you know its hard to get the same feel from a game by yourself i typically find, sadly.
>>22087129oh, you found it, almost made me feel like I was having a déjà vu lol
>>22088852>is that the same heavy gear universe as the tabletop game heavy gear blitz?Yes, in fact unlike the MechWarrior games, the PC Heavy Gear titles are outright canon to the Heavy Gear universe. They even have campaign books that adapted the plot of both PC games (The New Breed, Black Talon Field Guide)>once you play with people you know its hard to get the same feel from a game by yourself i typically find, sadly.I vaguely know that feel, while I can still pick up a game like Virtual-On, nothing compares to actually playing with someone. Virtual-On is fun as fuck btw, while it might not be in the camp of sandwiched between AC and MW it's very much a title that's worth checking out. If you're emulating Gungriffon then might as well download Virtual-On and give it a shake.
>>22089047yeah, thanks for reminding the board existed.
>>22089081Glad to be helpful
>>22038025Oh shit, thanks for the link, Anon! I've been meaning to get a new mousepad for a while.
Is Ultrakill /m/?
>>22090261sure why not
Metal Max
I remember the very first time in my life I've read the word "Gundam" was in a video game magazine in 1997, saying Star Fox 64 was influenced by it.
>>22092131Yeah the Shogun Warlord had the catapult launch and RX-78 white coloration and one of the two ones before it had red.
Future Cop:LAPD
>>22085133It's good, it's epic, and it's /m/ as fuck but it's really made for shmup turbo-autists. If people thought Ikaruga was hard, Radiant Silvergun WILL punish you for failing to fully understand its scoring system. >Didn't chain properly? Not using the designated scoring weapons against a particular boss? Missed some secrets? Lol, good luck getting through Stages 5 and 6, retard!
>>22007949>>22007966WHY DIDN'T SQUARE ENIX pay FromSoftware to make this game.......instead they went to a western studiomakes no fucking sense. FromSoft would have been cheaper and they speak jap
>>22010403I wish we had received Omega Boost 2 on the PS2 at the end of the generation like 2005 or 2006. Now Polyphony Digital is stuck making GT games for all eternity
>>22007910You know what I want? I want an Armored Core game with the same tone as Brigador. Merc shit in AC is usually just in the background or plays an initial part in a story that pavee way to a bigger conflict. All I want is one that plays the mercenary angle dead straight and makes it explicitly clear that you are there to fuck the place up purely for a nice paycheck.
>>22096804Maybe they figured a western studio would be the best for a shooter? Problem is most western studios don't know how to make a mecha game, especially at that point since classic MechWarrior and it's clones had been dead.
>>22007520Phantom Crash for the OG Xbox
>>22096671That's why you play story mode and brute force through several cycles of NG+ and better appreciate the theme of eternal recurrence at the end, and how it dovetails into Ikaruga's themes of enlightenment and escaping the cycle
>>22097374Always thought of Ikaruga as RSG's distant sequel. The Stone-Like not only was subjugated by human hands, but got rekt for good because it just grew tired and weak from resetting humanity for God knows how long.
>>22092127>Playing 1's fantranslation.>Reached a point where you could change your vehicle's name.>Didn't read about how the translation goes buggy there.>Went in blind and the game crashes while I try to navigate the menus to go out.>Wipes my save.Maybe one day I'll go back to it.
>>22100322I doubt it was weakened, but maybe more of the loose mythology binding those two games together will be revealed in Ubusuna, whenever/if ever if comes out.
are there any good PSP mecha games?
>>22103928PSP armored core is comfy
>>22103936which one? I'm probably gonna go through all of them but I don't know where to start
>>22103928Masoukishin and SRW Z/A/MX/Impact, carnage hearth
>>22103950Armored Core 1 is surprisingly nice on the PSP. I'm still working my way through third gen.
Are any of the SD Gundam games? They're turnbased SRPG like SRW right?
>>22087688Nah, he has a good goddamn point. Mech games are hard to sell because mech-fans are near-impossible to appeal to. Fromsoft actually releasing a new Armored Core game wasn't enough, they now have to somehow go back in time and completely erase every Dark Souls game in order to appeal to them, because they're scared that the new Armored Core will be "too soulslike." An open-world mech game that's even a tiny semblance like Elden Ring with exploration and salvaging mechanics would at least be interesting, but there are actual adults out there who want to look gift horses in the ass and complain about the shit in their teeth.
>>22106156>Mech games are hard to sell because mech-fans are near-impossible to appeal to.That's like saying fantasy is hard to sell towards. Fire Emblem, Dark Souls, and The Elder Scrolls can all find their audience fine. Mecha shouldn't even be considered a gameplay genre really. You can make mecha games of any type from shooters to platformers to strategy. And even within those they can vary radically, Titanfall doesn't play like MechWarrior, which doesn't play like Armored Core, which doesn't play like Virtual-On, etc. I can see your point of mecha not being a focused genre but I don't think that's necessarily a deterrent. Especially for someone who's been able to enjoy mecha games of most varieties and genres.>Fromsoft actually releasing a new Armored Core game wasn't enough, they now have to somehow go back in time and completely erase every Dark Souls game in order to appeal to them, because they're scared that the new Armored Core will be "too soulslike.Not wanting Armored Core itself to be a souls-like doesn't mean that a souls-like mecha game shouldn't be attemped. It just means we don't want it from AC itself (even then I'd give leeway, AC has 16+ goddamn titles to pick from and replay. You could even go the spinoff route so that mainline fans aren't seething with anger.) I think it's reasonable to have franchise expectations. I'd be slightly disappointed if a new Heavy Gear game came out that played exactly like Armored Core even though I love the AC series.
>>22080595I always get a chuckle when someone posts these old troll charts.
>>22083001came to post this
>>22106082They are alright but much, much, MUCH grindier than SRWs, so if you got a couple hundreds of hours to spare getting your favorite (or coolest, depending on your obsession with gundams) suits, go for it.
has anyone seen the scramble vice yet?it looks like a neat assault suit style game.https://twitter.com/picopico256/status/1701437981184118922?t=C9e9fC3kGDy44y9sf0TLew&s=19
>>22007520All I want is Starsector, but with mechs. That's it.
Got this on sale for $8 and it's pretty alright for an indie mecha game.
>>22106593>>22083001did you guys play Hover Attack? Apparently it's the game that inspired Bangai O, originally released for the X1 computer and later PC-88, and somehow it got a recent port released for Steam.
>>22011508The robos are physical in every game outside the weird GC one
>>22111904fairly sure you can mod it in
>>22111968Yeah its got a cool aesthetic. The mecha combat though can be broken so easily that fights don't matter before midgame but on the plus side the game itself is worth playing through at least once.
this person made shinobi non grata, which was pretty cool.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78pTufgAJq8
>>22116094this looks really good, is it like a more militarized patlabor ?
Has there been any word on when we'll get to see some gameplay footage of Daemon X Machina 2?
>>22117948Right after the shaders finish compiling.
Played some mechwarrior 5. And i did not like it. Concept is cool love then hangar with robots actually standing there the customozation and stuff but battles themselves feel like something from 90s arcade. Superdumb, you either shoot miniature tanks/helis or run around robots like headless chickens shooting eac hother HPs off. I do not know what i actually expected from mecha game but not that.
>>22118246You have to play MW5 heavily modded. Without mods, it's a thoroughly below average game.
>>22118246>you either shoot miniature tanks/helis or run around robots like headless chickens shooting eac hother HPs off.Most mecha shooters are like that. I can't really think of a mecha shooter that doesn't do that.
>>22118246>>22119839Play older MW, Heavy Gear, Starsiege, ... the mission are handcrafted, with actual objectives, waypoints, and the occasional surprise.It always boils down to shooting down stuff, mind you, but at least it's more structured and purposeful.
>>22120118Generally the better of those titles do get you to think outside the box about how to shoot things. Generally this applies to the better Armored Core titles as well. Starsiege and Heavy Gear 2 had some cool objectives too like being a spotter for artillery or 6DOF space combat. But ultimately it does boil down to shooting things. Not that I mind personally, that's what giant robots are for right?
>>22037672>Didn't the lead dev dieNo, I don't think so>I assume neverYou assume incorrectly, it's not never, its just Coming Soon™
>>22111904arma armatura, or are you talking about a starsector-like game but with dedicated mechs?>>22007520strike suit zero hasn't been mentioned yet and seems neat. honestly been sitting in my library for a decade nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS50TK_Eqxk
>>22121725Not that anon but thanks for the Arma Armatura, but I would love a true open world Mecha game.. or weirdly a base builder kinda one where you build mechas for war.
turns out someone is working on leynos 2https://x.com/WASi303/status/1702341132724879596?s=20
>>22121933Nice! Wonder why it was never brought over as Cybernator 2 or something. Same with Gun Hazard. At least we had Metal Warriors I suppose.
Titanfall 2 Ultimate is on Steam rn for $3.
>>22008037Because the bigger the market is for mecha then more quality mecha content gets producd.
>>22007520Front Mission is good, but here are some of my favorites:Armored Core 4A or 6 as starting points for ACDaemon X MachinaZone of the EndersCustom Robo or Steambot Chronicles if you like light hearted stuff
>>22122673I'm a giant pussy, but Custom Robo for the Gamecube can get pretty "dark."
>>22018230OHH okwhole time i thought starsiege tribes was the mechwarrior 4 mercenaries of the starsiege games ok thanks anon
>>22106156>An open-world mech game that's even a tiny semblance like Elden Ring Xenoblade X clone with Armored Core 6 combat.Imagine.
>>22106447Souls-like isn't a thing, it doesn't describe anything.Every single DS mechanic came from Armored Cores and King's Fields, with the single one new addition being invasions.Armored Core always has been a souls-like, if you insist on this retarded term even existing.
>>22124887I'm not here to argue semantics. Regardless if Armored Core is "souls-like" or not or if souls-like even exists. I still think that Dark Souls and Armored Core play differently enough that it would be disappointing to take the skeleton of one and dress it up as the other and then sell it as more of the same. Or to do that with any other franchise of games for that matter. I'd be better to make a new IP with the breathing room of having no expectations. Even From has done this which is why Chromehounds isn't Armored Core. Now Armored Core has 16+ titles so I don't mind changing up the formula somewhat, but I wouldn't be happy if Armored Core 7 were suddenly a strategy game.
>>22124887I thought the exploration components of souls games came from metroidvanias
>>22125201I don't remember Souls having you learn double jumps and sliding.
>>22125262Tell me where in my post I talked about double jumps and sliding
>>22124887Do you drink diesel or are you stupid
>>22125277Metroid's exploration is centered around finding permanent upgrades that drastically change how the character or weapons behave. There's literally nothing like that in Souls games.
Anyone here played Faselei! How is it? Heard it's one of the few good games on the Neo Geo Pocket and is expensive as fuck.
>>22007966>FME is the only game that actually gives you direct control AND can be played anytime with no servers dependency.There was Left Alive, but yeah...
>>22125277>MetroidvaniaVania part comes from SOTN where you needed movement upgrades to progress, not just red rockets functioning as keys in Metroid.
>>22125761LA is not mecha game.It has less Wanzer sequences than fucking FEAR3.
>>22018971Yawn, Trails haters are the steroetypical no life fat neckbeards.
>>22097090AC2:AA went in that direction. There wasn't an overarching story, you were just taking whatever jobs came your way.
>>22007730If you can stomach OG X-Com, a weird skeuomorphic UI and very little in the way of tutorial, I'd say give Mech Engineer a shot.It's like X-Com but the missions are real-time with a pause feature. You can customise a lot of the equipment on your mechs, adapting them for specialist roles and specialist missions. Reactors than run hot but make more power for regular or cold missions, giving you more firepower, or a reactor built around resisting environmental heating for operating in deserts or volcanoes.It's got a very fatalistic plot, you're the last remnants of humanity on Earth in a mobile city that requires constant repairs and maintenance. Aliens invaded decades ago, and they won pretty easily, and it was a war of extermination. The main goal of the game is to leave Earth, so thoroughly have the aliens conquered it.
Titanfall 2 is amazing, and cheap. If you dont like the on foot combat you can always install the Northstar mod and search for Titan only servers
>>22127863Man I wish the IP wasn't under EAs fucking thumb. We could have 6 Titanfall games right now.
>>22128130Respawn's the one that's been hesitant to release a Titanfall 3 because of the massive success the found with Apex Legends. EA surprisingly didn't have too much of a hand in Respawn cancelling what they had.
>>22007520Metal Wolf Chaos is pretty kino. It's a little short though.
>>22007520So is FM1 story kino like FM3? or should i go for FM2?>fm2 remake cancelled damn
>>22128409FM3 has the shittiest plot in the whole mainline series so you'll be mindblown by FM1's yeah.
>>22128409>>fm2 remake cancelledWhat?
>>22121725I second Strike Suit Zero. Not talked about much but it's probably the best "Macross" game out there.Get the Director's Cut version, because for some reason they still sell the normal edition as well.
>>22128409What the fuck are you talking about, its still listed as being released on Oct 5th.
>>22131451doomers aren't capable of reason
>>22131451Are there any news about PC release date?
>>22131193>Can't walkNot mecha game.
>>22134132Zeong bros...
>>22024481>Why the fuck does it has to be stuck In japan?Licensing hell. There's so many properties in it, it'd be an absolute nightmare for a fairly niche title.
>>22127495sounds fundo you miss shots of 99% accuracy often like new xcom?
>>22128149>slow ass pubg clone, which was already pinnacle of shit and downfall of shooters genre, that gutted everything fun from titanfall>massive successI fucking hate this planet and the people on it.letting retards use computers was a huge mistake.
>>22137209To twist the knife deeper, Respawn recently scrapped and cancelled everything they'd previously made for Titanfall 3.
>>22007520Installed |Fm1 remakeAnd damn robots look like plastic. All awesomness of FM3 huge robots slowly shooting and hitting each other so you could feel damn things weighted 50 tonns was exchanged for plastic shit doing pew-pew.
>>22007589I happen to be very fond of the original Front Mission on the Snes. I remember when I first played the translation, it instantly became my favourite game for the snes. To the author, this really became the most grounded mecha series, mixing in fantasy with a decent sense of brutal realism. Of course it was never too strict with that, but it is better than 99% of what is out there.
>>22138814Yeah FM1R feels like a cheap mobile game. I'm really hoping they've improved the combat animations with FM2R but I'm not so sure.
>>22080157I actually sent a letter in to kodakawa to see if they had a copy.

>>22139082All it says is that they no longer handle that magazine and are not responsible for the product.
>>22138814Welcome to FM1/1st. You don't get good combat animation until 2, and even then it goes into wacky crazy Votoms spinning that they had to tone down in 3 because of all the excessive loading required for battle scenes in 2.
>>22008612Alright so what is the modern equivalent of this game? Something with a lot of mods.
>>22139082>>22139157Does "Famicomics" even exist? Were other manga published there?
Does anyone here played Cosmic Break? I feel like i'm the only one who ignored the mecha musume girls and just focused on the mecha customization. You can make some really cursed builds with the customization system.
>>22092127>still no news about the MM4 translationjust tell me if it's dead or not
I'm trying to play Gundam Extreme Versus full Boost on RPCS3 but the music isn't workingFor the love of god, if anyone knows how I can fix that, tell me
newfag here, I'd like you guys opinion on Assault Suit Valken Declassified for the switch. is it good? are there other mech games I should try instead?
>>22139465Yeah I think I saw some others done by Famicomics. Could be bad memory though.
>>22139478Very long ago. Wanted to get back into it and rope in my gf with the steam rerelease but the lag made it very unplayable.There was also another game which is almost the same called C21 I think which was Cosmic Break before Cosmic Break and only had mechs. It was from the same company iirc.
I just found out this game has an english patch, is it worth playing at all? It's one of very few Gundam games that you can pilot a mobile suit in cockpit view. I'm not even sure it has single player content
>>22140092AS Valken is a pretty damn fun time. It actually might be the better mecha game to sit down with as a newfag since it doesn't vomit autism stats at you like Armored Core or MechWarrior. It is somewhat old school in it's approach to lives though so either consider a cheat for infinite lives or get ready to start at the beginning when you die. If you like AS Valken then definitely check out Front Mission: Gun Hazard and Metal Warriors for the SNES/S. Famicom as well.
>>22138814>And damn robots look like plasticWhich is the point?Remake devs specifically aimed at diorama looks, to recreate concept dioramas made for the original game.And they did a good job with whatever indie budget they were given.
Thread's sinking but hopefully someone can chime in on my question: is Mechaknights any good? It's got high ratings on Steam but I'm also not big into robots vs aliens.
>>22140854gameplay is very basic and iirc all the weapons basically come down to bullets or explosives. if you like EDFs gameplay you'll probably like this
>>22140843Total bullshit, dioramas aim for realism, scratches and damage in the surface of the models etc, the game robots look like brand new plastic toys. The devs are incompetent, they just lack the skill to make justice to this IP. They used the motherfucking portrait sprites from the Snes game and upscaled them with blurry interpolation for for god's sake, because they know they can t draw for shit. The game remake looks like shit you are just blind
>>22141386>brand new plastic toys>says other people are blindHyperbole isn't a substitute for critique, friend.
>>22009137If you're a fan of past AC games I don't recommend AC6. It's a souls/sekiro game wearing a mecha skin rather than an AC game.
>>22022354Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander
>>22051891I call it Cybernator in America, just like I do with Robotech. Deal with it.
>>22079319If your PC stutters on even low settings, then it's about time you need an update. Good news is graphics cards are cheap again.Or you could become a console peasant.
Does anyone still play Ace Online or is it totally dead now?
>>22142314>ace onlinebeen looking for this shit for a decade thanks anon
>>22007949I was midly enjoying it until they forced me to leave the wanzer and keep fighting on foot.
>>22139918It's still ongoing, they just need to subtitle the cutscenes
