Mecha thread

Post anything relating to giant robot vidya here.
Do you ever think FromSoft will make another AC game? Would it even be good if they did?

Why won't Sega port VO:OT and VO:Force to the PC

I sure as fuck hope not, they were utterly mediocre games and the entire AC fanbase is a bunch of whiny little shit and i'll never grow tired of hearing them squirm and shit themselves in sadness.
There's other more important IPs that need resurrecting, such as Tenchu.

Daily reminder that the series will never see the light of day ever again under Konami, and that they will never give up the license. Not ever.

what, an old-ass win95 port of Operation Moongate isn't enough for you?!

netplay pls

Hey, maybe Kojima's new studio will make a spiritual successor to it.

I wish we could get more mecha. Another armored core but not like the 5 series would be great. Another zone of enders would be awesome.

I miss playing Virtual On. Needs a new release.

Heavy Gear's designs and models are great

I'm a life-long AC fan and this is true. The last AC game I didn't whine about was Last Raven.


Gameplay looks like generic FP… whoa there, it have actually change since the last I saw it! Are they going old-school Armored Core now? Shit looks good.

what I'd want is something like a AC x demon souls

I'd rather have From go back to Chromehounds or Otogi, the only AC I ever liked was the original.

Please stop posting immediately. Any idiot that wants AC x Cuck Souls doesn't even understand how fundamentally different the two games are.

bump

Still best gundam game on PC

Those are two completely different gameplay styles you god-damned mouth breather.

because souls fags are cancerous

also this game doesn't have I-Frames, souls games do

I'm like
I want to play this game
but I'm too lazy to fuck around with VPNs

takes like 5 seconds mudfish is cheap as fuck

Too bad SDGO is ded. At least melee wasn't a 2-hit stunlock death sentence.

We need a Dark Souls game but with mechs.

Bosses would just be bigger mechs.

it was if you had a special

I play pure Zeon and lemme tell you feddies have the most BS melee hitboxes it's not funny, you just learn to suck it up or wail on them from a distance

shit SDGO was trash with it's melee system and KD


dark souls needs to die, also lol Iframes

No more Dark Souls, please.


It's okay to post screenshots, but please don't dump shittons of them mane

I just like the game, it's solid as a TPS and as a gundam game, plus it promotes skill over just straight usage of the FotM suits

Though I miss how it was straight OYW with only grunts suits useable by players

I think anybody who goes to mecha threads knows you like the game, you post screenshots a lot.
I've never played it, but personally; doesn't look like my cup of tea. I'm not a fan of multiplayer third-person shooters.

can't help it, it's system just works so well, it's one of the main reasons why I parade it around, it's one of the few games I can name where skill can easily trump over powered suits like the Zeta gundam or the Hyaku Shiki that got introduced as part of the 0088 update

My only gripes with the game are that feds have some serious BS melee hitboxes and that the game isn't a grunt slugfest anymore

what gaem

Mobile Suit Gundam Online

JP only Gundam game, started life as a OYW game with only grunt suits, a TPS with emphasis on skill

is it peer 2 peer?
Or would I have to deal with massive lag no matter what if I wanted to play it.

my latency in game is around 189 and the game is still playable, you DO have to use a VPN to play because it's restricted to JP IPs only, most of us who still play it use mudfish which is a cheap "pay per bandwidth used" VPN that can either be used as a traditional VPN or used for specific programs (like gundam online)

only problem you might have with high latency is melee, like as you see in the video

This vid should give you an idea of how the latency works

Stop shilling this p2w garbage please.
It's a bad game, and nobody who is even remotely attached to mecha should touch this steaming pile of shit.

Oh shit that looks much better. I had given up hope.
Also Heavy Gear looks great because it's to VOTOMS what Battletech is to Dougram.

nigger it it not P2W, stop lying to yourself, you're just fucking bad at it

you can't buy any suit with cash money, hell you can't even buy the latest suit with cash money

I thought the video looked poor for the skating, it's unfinished and unpolished. the walking movement is already pretty good.
I like that it plays like piloting and isn't just a robot FPS like it could have ended up.

but dougram is better

Anyone tried Procject Nimbus?

It's fun in theory. It's unfinished. No idea when, if ever, it will be finished.

No customization though.

It's shit. What's point of giving mech legs if you can't even land on a surface?

I honestly thought it was out already. I guess it's doomed to be one of those games that came out in early access and then years later comes out for real but no one cares because it's been "out" for so fucking long.

...

Yeah you can buy a chance to get shit with real cash money.
So it's technically pay2maybewin.

even then you don't even "win" you just have the newest suits, fat lotta good it'll do you when a guy in a Zaku II J type that he got when he made the account trounces your shiny new MS and you're stuck waiting 300 seconds for it to come off CD

if we really want to classify it it'd be "pay to get shit quicker", because eventually the shit is gonna end up in the GP gasha or for sale in the shop for GP

Really wish you can modify and change mobile suit parts ala Armored Core style.

Not in the sense that I want to make some mary sue gundam seed shit but like I really want to just have a mobile suit that really fits my style. They could probably balance it pretty easily too with the faster gundams having less armor and vice versa.

I mean shit man just imagine. Build fighters but instead of being models its the real thing. I'm talking about sabotage missions, assassinations, defense missions fuckkkk man

I get that fix through G breaker, it's pretty much that, I've made like 8 Zaku Variants

meh

I liked GBO's attempt at having infantry and suit combat but it got stale quick and the EN system made it extremely arduous when trying to get event suits

Also you're not the first, another one of the old guard who has seem to stop playing and myself used to talk, if you ever played Gundam Battle Universe or Gundam Assault Survive, a stat system like that would have been amazing

Good news is with the Hyaku shiki making it's rounds, Zakus and other MS with non beam weapons are making a resurgence on Zeon

At least shit like the Zudah's Saturn engine, and the BD units have their unique things like EXAM and "go fast and explode"

Are they still adding stuff to that game?
How long has it been going for, now?

closed beta started in what 2012, I couldn't get in then, pained me

went live in 2013 IIRC and the recent update brought us Zeta era suits such as the Hi-zack, which is a event suit, not the best, but the 3 burst MG does wonders against Hyaku shiki, which take reduced beam damage due to the ABC it sports

THAT'S NO ZAKU BOY, NO ZAKU

Only 2013? Man, I thought it was going way longer than that.
I have tons of mecha images with intentionally misnamed filenames. My goal is to annoy people

it seems it doesn't it, I've been wearing the santa hat since the 2013 event, and now the magic of the hat feels lessened since they released a "seasonal ticket" in the exchange shop

the exchange shop was a nice tactic of keeping player numbers, but pretty much it's used for either one of the exchange suits, such as Ridden's Gelgoog cannon, or Char's Zaku II, or you cash in the exchange tickets for master mechanic tickets or DX gasha tickets

speaking of, here is the upcoming DX suits

God why did they decide that every animation in Dual Gear had to take six years to play out


Promising demo otherwise. Looking forward to it.

I thought it was older because the game looks like it's from 2006 or something, not fucking 2013.

Looking at the footage it DOES look a little ps2 era. The polygons are a bit rough around the edges and the texture are lacking some detail. Could be just the player playing on low though.

Its weird because the promo art looks so much better. The disparity between the two is insane.

Gotta remember PC is really niche in Japan still, a majority of the PC gaming market is primarily VNs and indie games, no real big titles with a majority of games still played on consoles

I can forgive the graphics, though less detailed than UCGO, a defunct OYW MMO developed by dimps and killed during it's alpha the suits are neat and they all behave differently

I had to giggle


Those are the in game models, you can force AA and the game has graphical options but not much, for what it's worth the game runs well

The Hi-zack was recently rolled out as an event suit, it's alright ,fairly standard weapon load out including a Charging beam rifle, a Charging Zook, 3 burst MG, a Hi-zack heat hawk and a few other weapons, the balance is a bit shite but I've been doing fairly well in a relatively stock one (only stat upgraded heavily is balance)

also found THIS guy on zeon today on the arctic base map

I don't really care for sub-par graphics as much. I mean for what its worth it isn't ugly. Plus I've been playing AC on an emulator so I'm used to it. Rather have the game not run like shit frankly. Though at 200 ping I'm not sure if that matters….

Also
noice

my ping isn't bad, it only shits the bed for melee, hits register a few seconds after

that would be pretty tight, I want a game other than xenoshit that makes me feel small in a giant robot.
I think from could do it, or the EDF guys.

I just ordered 4 different 1/144 zaku kits, won't be here for at least a month though.

Maybe I should give this a shot while I wait.

Hell, my name is Poison Pink. I am run of the mill TRPG with somewhat interesting aesthetic.
My shtick is that combat animations take two thousands years to load and one thousand years to play. On fucking PS2. With shitty graphics barely rivaling that of Dreamcast. When Front Mission 5 has those loading for 0 (zero) seconds, looks 100 times better, and has fucking fully customizable mechs.
I'm the biggest pile of shit that nobody played for that very reason.
Have a nice day.

I don't know why you're shitposting about some random game nobody's heard of in a mecha thread.

check the gunpla threads on /m/

They sold the trademark a while back. They will never revive chromehounds.

I get what you're hinting at but I honestly liked the game besides that one annoying gripe. I felt it was a very solid demo, I enjoyed it nicely and I honestly would like to see more of it before declaring it a masterpiece or a masterpiece of shit

Daily remember to post on /m/ every once in awhile, just don't shitpost furiously.

Well shit, I didn't know that. Looking into it it appears the guy who bought it is the guy Chad Mauldin making M.A.V., that ghetto looking Chromehounds immitation in early access, so I guess he'll be able to officially call his game Chromehounds 2.

is it time for me to finally try MechWarrior 4?

Is Mechwarrior online fun

Grinding or not, I just want to know if it's fun

I didn't like it, but my friend who still plays it tells me it's changed a lot since I stopped so I don't really know. When I last played they only had four free mechs every week and they were all horrible unoptimized stock loadouts with a massive grind to unlock your own and outfit them, now there's apparently a lot more free which use common player designed loadouts and the grind is supposedly cut way down.

Not really, it's really generic

yes, play mercenaries

more grind than WoT, worse gameplay than any other Mechwarrior game.

I'd recommend you also look into chromehounds, if you're interested in being a mobile weapons platform. Same devs, but it's got a little more freedom in terms of armament stacking.

Pity the online is closed.

The Chromehounds devs and the MW4 devs aren't the same.

>tfw no game where you can ride inside your tank waifu and then later sensually give her a good washing and tuning.

So what? We'll be piloting Cha-boogie, the Rotational Mount, as we straddle the intergalactic political spectrum between Terra and Zeus?

It won't be the same, and you know it.

Never get in a relationship with your vehicles.

You will never see the man within the machine, with such lack in humanity, cadet. Might as well ditch pilots for AI, with that kind of thinking.

Without you, your robot is worthless, and without your robot, you are worthless. Know that, for you have much to learn about the ways of bonding between man and machine.

Besides, it's gonna get real lonely in here, and the dirty mags under your bunk are going to distract you for only so long, so you might as well learn some discipline, while you're at it.

I'd sooner burn every page of those mags into my retinas than fall in love with my mech/tank.

...

Sorry, my brain stopped for a second and thought he said armored core.

Are you sure?

Yes.
I want to run around a city and blow stuff up with my mech, I don't want to marry it.

Such commitment! That's a good way to show you that love only her, you know.

How dare you post images of Gerbera Tetra without clothes you pervert.

...

They've been here for like 12 years at least.

Do you even need to wonder why mech games are so rare then?

more

...

...

Hey. There's at least a layer of paint on that, man. That's legal, in most first-world countries. Just be lucky there ain't any internals out in the open, because that, my friend, would be very lewd.

mmmmmmmmmmmmore?

Just go to /clang/ instead of turning this into a porn thread.

Better than blank bump posts keeping this alive through the next month, with next-to-none consistent discussion.

Jesus fucking christ

furfaggotry penetrates every corner of the world sadly

Faggotry itself has penetrated anthro since the first furcon got advertised in a gay mag.

From there, it's basically been ridden like a cocksock.

Is Carnage Heart any fun?
The game looks a little too autistic for me, but should I at least try it?

Has Hawken gotten better or worse since launch? Is it playable now?

it's dead

bump

So has anyone here played Phantom Crash/S.L.A.I?

i just want more concepts and design art from those games

Phantom Crash was alright, though I wasn't terribly much a fan of the concept. I wasn't very good at it so never beat it. Got stuck at one of the bosses later in the game.

I believe I spent an entire summer when I was younger waking up, turning on my xbox, and either playing phantom crash or one of the mechassaults all damn day long

I want to go back ;.;

Grew up with phantom crash, and dabbled in slai years later. Great designs, good gameplay, poor map selection, but one of the best soundtracks in any video game ever. Seriously underrated music, fully customisable, and with something for everyone.

I'd love to see another in the series.

:^)

I don't care what anyone says about paintballs etc.
Actual mech battle in the year of our lord 2016!
git fuckin hype.

The future looks rusty

What? We're getting Rusty but not Big Guy? What kind of bullshit is that?

Kuratas is a pretty big guy overall

those Megabot weapons though.

My niggas! Was it ever made playable on the 360?

Yes and no. It will recognize it and try and play it but won't do a very good job. SLAI emulates pretty well on though.

Forgot to say I hate Moba's because they seem like a massive waste of character design. They're like a SSB game where all the choices come from series that don't exist.

Yes, that shit was great.
Speaking of Xbox mecha games, I've always wanted to play Metal Wolf Chaos: but that shit is way too fucking expensive.

Are you using MOBA in the Dota context or in some more abstract multiplayer arena game context because whatever you think of Overwatch as a game it's most definitely not a MOBA since it doesn't have any things in common other than the somewhat large roster.

would recommend playing Gihren's Greed series, avoid Shin because it's garbage
