Who here has played the Super Robot Wars games? I'm currently playing through the PS2 remakes of the OG games.What are your favorite games in the series, and favorite mechs?
>tfw interested in the crossover aspect because i love /m/ stuff but can't get into the gameplay
>>710712I think the gameplay is one of the better parts. It's got more depth to it the later into the series you get, I'd say OGS on the PS2 is the perfect starting point. The earlier games are just a bit too simple.What do you not like about it?
>>710722Not that guy, but the newer games may as well just be visual novels with how easy the gameplay segments are. The only real exception is the OG series like you posted, but anything mainline past Impact is a cakewalk unless you're doing a self-imposed challenge like no upgrades.
>>710722I spent a lot of time plays SRW3 when the fan translation came out so many years ago; I still think it's fun.Cybuster and Alteisen are the best btw.

Mfw you get to do a mission where you have to mind control Tanya.
Thoughts on this game?

CAN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THIS WHILE I GET A SODA?

>>702790Really depends on the genes you give them. You can easily give them a specific preference.

VEE
>>709377>Are we happy for Hell March 2 for Knockout Rounds?Absolutely
So when’s our match in the knockouts?

>>704510nah my auntie's lovelyshocking taste in men though lmao
What strategy games hold a special place in your heart despite being flawed enough you refuse to recommend them to people?For me, it's Mordheim. I fucking love it, but the AI warbands just scaling off you rather than being persistent is a real killer imo, even moreso than the shit performance, clunky interface, fucky AI and grind. Especially later in a warband's lifespan, when your boys have enough injuries that the AI tends to have multiple people a match standing around repeatedly failing stupidity checks because of randomly assigned brain damage. By contrast, the best times I've had with it are when I'm in a 1v1 clash where we just do back-to-back-to-back missions until one of us can't afford their warband anymore. There's nothing sweeter than slowly forcing your mate to overstretch their economy so even if they're winning battles, they lose the war. Spiriting away their good weapons, investing practically no money in gear for your goons and just mobbing one of their dudes that he's invested in, match after match until they don't get back up again.There's a sweet spot in the early mid-game where your lads have 1 or 2 tricks each but they're very bad at everything outside their main role, so you're constantly having to manouevre and reposition for best effect and I just find it so much fun to juggle.Honourable mention to Battle Brothers and Darkest Dungeon, which I think prioritise the *experience* to the detriment of a fun game but that I still play the fuck out of.
>>710942Voice detection was terrible the moment it came to numbers. Game always choose 3 instead of 8 whenever I said it.Online campaign was a mess too come to think of it. Consisted of people clobbering the shit out of each other at chokepoints.
>>700202Well for one, the whole "scouting" thing they mentioned is just the game sending small waves of units at your base, and if you don't kill them quick enough it 'found' you and starts sending bigger parties. Also the enemy base buildings don't do anything and the enemy doesn't have any sort of economy, it's just wave after wave on a timer
>>679345Koihime Musou. One of the best adventure stories with a very simple but engaging strategy game. Definitely better than Eiyuu Senki.
>>710906Yeah the game is broken as shit but it's really got heart. Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for? All is silver-grey, Placid and perfect with my art: the worse!
>>710744Endwar is a really rough diamond, and I remember the voice feature being pretty good for me. I think it could be refined for a game today, but Ubisoft would likely fuck it up.What I didn't like, though, was Infantry was objectively the best unit, so long as they were in cover, and I remember times when even Riflemen in cover were giving my tanks trouble. It fucks up the rock-paper-scissors dynamic.
TW: Three Kingdoms may be dead but at least we still get cute girls added in
>>709991based
>>709991based as fuck, thank you
>>709991There goes the han prince, with that loser stride.
>>710800Made me laugh, was well worth drawing
How to get into this game and not be a retard at it? I have almost no experience with strategy games. Gravely wounding at least 1 soldier every mission + no idea what to do with the metagame stuff
>>706105I'm a moron, I didn't see the huge 2 in the OP pic. >>703029gives great advice for 2.
>>701894>Gravely wounding at least 1 soldier every missionWell they're not dead so it's fine. Don't overextend rushing forwards, which is always a temptation especially if you're a ranger.
>>701894Don't be afraid to evac. This is more relevant to higher difficulties, but still.
Whatever they say, don’t mess with the turn timers. They just pissed off everyone on launch (incl me)In Enemy Within people just moved to cover, overwatch, moved to cover, overwatch repeat until win. We optimized the fun out of the game- removing all the risk by sticking to one boring ass strategy that required no critical thinking.So just take it in stride, Commander. You’ll do fine.As for the metagame stuff like research? Uh... I didn’t really have any strategy myself so... do whatever I guess. Upgrading weapons is always nice
>>710973>We optimized the fun out of the game- removing all the risk by sticking to one boring ass strategy that required no critical thinking.that's on you, and more importantly that's what the meld was instituted to address in what I would argue was a much better fashion than auto-fail timers that tick even before they know you're there
Quick! post the best strategy game you've ever played!(just based n your personal opinion/experiencefuck the critics and fuckl scores)
>>710777Mass bombardment and horrors huh? Now i'm doubly sad I didn't get to see it.
>>710025Dawn of War with all its expansions and mods is by far my most played RTS. After that probably MoO2 and Civ 1.
>>710890>Civ 1Based.
Dominions takes it for me as well, but goddamn it's hard to keep interest for months at a time.
>>710025Age of Empires 2 still has a special place in my heart. C&C Generals, Age of Mythology and Dawn of War are close seconds
>Free Pre-alpha has only 75% positive reviewsWhat went so wrong?
>>711047>he tried his best to implement his stupid shit but couldn't. >so he devolved to that.Awww poor little baby.
>>711048Are you done throwing a temper tantrum cause your favorite devs got insulted?
>>711062>he still can't manage
>>711004Yes. Exactly. They would see very little return for all that extra work, and they're already blowing a huge budget on graphical improvements. They literally cannot afford to make a Japanese faction play like Japan.
>>711072>He's still coping
How do I play the non reforged version?
>>708622okay now this is based
>>710443How the fuck do I survive a blademaster!? He'll just wind walk up and slap me. Or distract the goblin tinkerer with mirror images. Or just fucking slap the goblin since he's weak in comparison.I'm fuuuucked
>>710446Dust instead of allowing them to live rent free in your base spamming windwalk.
>>695415didn't even buy reforged and yet I have to suffer...
>>711061Yo this is what I wanted some days ago; just a list of some fun custom maps.I'll try them in Eurobattle one of these days to see if we can get some games going. My computer's network adapter died and I have to tether, so it might take me a day or two. I'll report later.
How the fuck do you get good at this game? I've been trying to get good at this game for over a year and I still suck at it. I can't even finish a game on prince without either feeling lost or feeling like I'm not gonna win the game and giving up around turn 200. The closest I've gotten is when I was far ahead in tech but fell way behind after trying to war with a neighbor and not winning the war. Is it just trial and error or what? I've tried getting a shadow game going on civfantics but the forum moves way too slow and sometimes the advice isn't clear. And apparently the guides are outdated. What do? Just keep trying until I win a few games?
>>709940probably a segmentation faultrunning out of ram generally won't cause the game to crash, unless you got no disk space as well
>>709949I have 200+ GB of disk space.
>>693525Vanilla V Deity is roughly comparable in difficulty to Vanilla IV's Monarch. 1UPT really does gimp the AI that bad. With an AI improvement mod installed (K-Mod, AdvCiv), IV is one of the most difficult SP strategy games out there on higher levels, and I'm not even joking.
>>709940probably has something to do with hard disk. you need more space
>>710917I enabled graphical paging and that fixed it.
ALERT!ALERT!Battlesector just comes out, I'm loading it now.
>>708671Why couldn't GW simply say "these are the our new sculpts for the Space Marines miniatures"? You don't need a retarded lore reason for new sculpts. Makes me wonder what they will pull out their asses when Chaos gets their "Primaris".
FOR THE BOOMEROR
did anyone try the game with today's patch? apparently they fixed the overheating issues
It irks me more than primaris that Sisters were nothing but damsels in distress so far, I'm on a 3rd mission which focuses on saving them. And I see no reason to use their infantry, when you already have SM units beefed with upgrades.Also I didn't expect it but melta+flamer combo on speeders is pretty damn good. I don't know why heavy flamer even has AP or optimal range 1 in stats, it destroys full genestealer squads at range 2 with 100% accuracy.I'm hoping flame cannon on predator is actually a pattern weapon with wider range, otherwise it's would be really underwhelming.
>>710916>Girl Gamers: The FactionIt‘s funny how inept they are in the missions but still try to talk shit. I bet they had to be in the game because GW released a bunch of new SoB boxes.
Highfleet just came out and what a surprise it is to see a 50 page users manual. The whole manual presents itself as an in world training document, really reminiscent of late 90/s pc games like Crusader: No Remorse. Manuals are a dying breed when it comes to modern games and its a fucking tragedy.https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/1434950/manuals/HighFleetManual.pdf?t=1627404802l
>>709526Post a link on the review. I want to laugh.
>>704490oh Ive tried to play slavshit jank like gothic, elex, stalker, etc and I cant. this game isnt jank at all.
>>710823>gothic>elex>slavshitits actually kraut/nordick shit
>>710825We call it "eurojank" in the biz
>>710829>krauts>eurosthey are all turkish and hunnish from asian steppe
How fares your talent agency, /vst/?also how the fuck do you survive past the first part of the game I've had to restart 4 times
can you get mods for the pirated version now?
>>701672>>702449I can already see the difficulty options>Member of the Council (easy funds and access to studios, harassment factor decays quickly)>Born to the Tribe>Good Goy (normal)>Outsider (relations start at zero)>Rebel (increased negative media attention)>Bad Goy (easy mode reversed, no internet marketing allowed due to Twitter ban)
>>703072>>there are dozens, if not hundreds, of games which are better for that.well I can’t think of any so point dismissed
>>702449>I have three possible names>two namesbased schizo
>>709956no, steam workshop downloader still doesn't workif you can get the files you could probably manually install it by following the official instructions which are here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/15vAJ-VFSL1jmOnoM4_M9C63RM-08kKtKyzo6-t3amV0/edit
>start tutorial to learn how to play>turns out you literally can't earn money in it>first mission I barely managed to complete it since everything started to fall apart due to lack of money near the end>in second tutorial mission everything went to unfixable shit long before mission end since I ran out money and couldn't build or even delete anything, while buildings were failing apart, fires raging, bandits murdering people on the streets openly, gods sending earthshakes and people starving>tfw I had to cheat in money in second tutorial mission, so I deleted literally every single building and rebuilt city instantly from scratch and I still barely managed to win.How to git gud at this game. And what the fuck is Feng Shui and is this hippie shit important?
>>709569You can make make money with Mint as long as there's bronze deposit on the map. Mint doesn't need smelter / bronze bars, the workers will mine raw bronze directly. The building turning paper into money is Printing Press, you can have one in parallel with Mint (but you can have only one of each).Anyway, money is rarely ever a problem, even on higher difficulty.
>>709569If I remember correctly from my childhood, the mint had a miner that collected the copper ore from the rocks, so I don't think you can import copper and use it to feed the mint.
>>709584>The building turning paper into money is Printing Press, you can have one in parallel with Mint (but you can have only one of each).You sure? Didn't the money printer replace the mint in the iron age, like how lacquerware replaced bronzeware?
>>709590I'm quite sure you can have both, Mint doesn't care for bronze bars like bronzeware maker does it just needs accessible ore deposit. Though in campaign you often only have one or the other for "balance reasons" (or you have neither and have to depend on trade and taxation).
>>697193>literal mission 1 from tutorial>barely winjesus dude you need to be a troll.when i first played this game I didn't even know english but the game is so dead easy that i manage finish the all tutorial missions in one afternoon.
