RECOMMEND ME SOME GOOD GAMES WITH MECHS AND/OR GIANT FUCKING ROBOTS
Front Mission 3
>>262656226
There's Iron Brigade but it's not all that good, and the multiplayer is dead.
Armored Core?
>>262656226
I was playing the original SNES Mechwarrior, it was ok. Kind of reminds me of Proto-Armored Core.
Also, you probably want to play Living Legends if you like MW, it's like MWO with a ton more stuff, better mechanics, but sadly no mech lab. It's also combined arms, so expect to see tanks, VTOLs, Aerospace Fighters, and Battle Armor.

I just beat FM3 yesterday, it's cool because of the customization but it's way too easy.

>>262656774
I'M OKAY WITH MECHA GAMES TOO.
WHAT ARE SOME GOOD MECHA GAMES?
For Answer in its prime was goddamn fun, but unless you like going fast it might not be your thing. Hell, every time I see one of these threads nobody recommends Armored Core. Is it just not considered a true mech game or something.or is it just too obvious?
>>262656226
Zone of Enders baby
>>262657351
If you don't have Extreme Versus (Full Boost) already, go get it.
Shit's really fucking good.
Also, if you can emulate Dreamcast, go get yourself a copy of Virtual On. It's really quite something.
>>262657395
Someone's always bound to mention For Answer.
>>262657395
I've been getting into the AC series too lately.
Beaten AC1, AC4, and ACforanswer. I actually liked AC4 the best, the mech handling was better suited to all-range combat. In AC:FA, you couldn't turn for shit so you were stuck with mid to long range combat.
As far as I'm concerned though AC games are fucking great, just a little too short now that the online is dead.
>>262657351
They actually put a damn good amount of detail into this game, and it has some great controls for a PS2 game that technically doesn't have an "up" or "down" in stages.
>>262656226
Titanfall?
>>262657395

I'm sorry but this post riled up my autism for a second. You know that there is a dedicated button combination that turns you 180 degrees instantly right? You can turn even farther with a light ac/high end boosters and the right tuning.
>>262658124
>tfw failing to find ausedcopy of For Answer
Man I really wanna go play some AC.
>>262658024
How? Fuck man, if it's easier to get than Gotcha Force then it's not too bad.
>>262658130
Yes but no where near as easily as in AC4. That was my point
>>262658289
I see. I guess I really don't know what I'm talking about since I've never touched 4. While we're on the subject of AC, why does everyone find Silent Line to be so great? I thought it was worse than LR, FA, and evenFormula Front
>>262658273
i should perhaps have clarified ps3 edition, 360 is piss easy to find
and by find i mean find for a reasonable cost not used

>>262657087
>How is super slow mech fighting better?
Because it's 100x more tactical than the arcade shooter AC games. Despite MWO's balance issues, the close range knife-fighting in that game is amazing (when it actually happens, since the battlefield is dominated by PPC and gaussfaggots). In MW games, you don't just blast away at your opponent, you first examine his loadout, try to remember or guess where certain weapons or equipment might be located and then try to blow out specific body parts with well aim shots while protecting your own ass from similar tactics via torso twisting and minimizing the exposure of your own vulnerable components. High level infighting in MW games is an artform, while combat in AC games is just arcade shootan until it stops moving.

>Back when I was a kid, rent Armored Core 1
>Couldn't even get the game started because for some reason I insisted on building a 4-legged AC with gigantic cannons and shit

>>262658756
Is Gungriffon Blaze any good? I've got a PS2 copy but don't have a PS2 on-hand to play it.
Also, any of you niggas play tabletop Battletech? Building mechs for that shit is fun.
ORIGINAL OR DIRECTOR'S CUT?
OR NEITHER BECAUSE OF KIKESTARTER?
>>262658679
Just looked it up.
You can literally get a used copy for $20, anon...
>>262658773
>more tactical
So I'm guessing you didn't play ACV and ACVD then? Did you even play Last Raven?
>>262657606
This. Zone of the Enders 2 I should mention kicks ass.
Also the Front Mission games. Front Mission 3 has some flaws but like most Squaresoft games of that era the soundtrack is fantastic.
>>262658974
Neither because it's just a shitty game with disappointingly bad visuals.
>>262659054
Bitch, please, AC has never and will never have anything similar to even fucking MWO level of team based close combat tactics, let alone tactical battles on the level of some of the best MW4 player run league teams.
Anyone feels like all of the AC before 4 are basically Dark Souls with mech?
>>262659475
Dark Souls faggot here. No, it's arguably better.
>>262658773
Have you even played an AC game? It same shit happens just at 10x the speed. If your enemy has high ACT missles, you better time your boosting correctly to dodge underneath them otherwise you'll get blasted. Or If you're fighting a heavily armed high weight AC I like to stay in the air as long as possible because heavy weapons tend to have poor accuracy. Using the terrain and zigzaging between buildings is necessary when fighting heavy weapons too. If you just start circle strafing your opponent and firing whatever the fuck you have then you're guaranteed to die. It's more about managing distance and being better at boosting in order to maximize your own locks while minimizing your opponent's chances to fire on you. All at like 1000+kph
But mechwarrior fans ways disregard AC because of muh realism even though the entire genre of mech/mecha is totally unrealistic.
>>262659558
I'm not saying in terms of quality but more in terms of feel
IMO both are hard when you don't know what you are doing and have controls that fells clunky but are perfectly fine once mastered

No, it's not. MW games are all about multiplayer and team play, fuck single player shitters who can't specify the location of a fucking gauss rifle on a fucking atlas in their sleep. AC games are nowehre near MW games when it comes to team-based gameplay, coordination and team tactics.
MW4 held some of the most exciting and high-level tactical mech tourneys in the history of vidya, AC games are just arcade shooters in comparison.

WOW OP WHY HAVEN'T YOU PLAYEDChrome Hounds :^)
Would any of you guys play this?
Mecha game that's 40% Starblade, 40% Omega Boost, and 20% Sin & Punishment. Stages seamlessly transfer from "speed mode" (Starblade-style rail shooting) and "mobility mode" (Omega Boost-style shooting and moving, with some Sin & Punishment elements like the sword and quick dash), 100% controlled with the mouse?
Just wondering.

>>262661983
Make it X-Com rather an XCOM and I am in 100% agreement.
Armored Core isn't my favourite style of mech but I'd still take that shit in a heartbeat.
Reminder that Mechwarrior's designs, when not directly lifted from anime, take some amount of inspiration from it.
Reminder that someone who is not familiar with the source material cannot actually tell the difference between western robots and eastern robots, and the distinction is purely in your minds.
Reminder that it's okay to like anime, and that nobody will judge you for doing so, but everybody will judge you for being a colossal fucking faggot about not liking it.
>>262662458
it's less that mechwarrior stole designs and more that they legally licensed all the copied designs they used
>>262662458
I only remember fucking Harmony Gold fucking over Mechwarrior and Macross.
Fuck those assholes.

>tfw there will never be a good Front Mission ever again.
>>262662973
>yfw Front Mission Evolved happened
>>262663081
How is that as anArmored Coregame?
Has anyone heard about a game called Perpetuum on steam? It looks like EVE but you're set on a planet and there's giant robots everywhere. Also, unlike EVE, it looks like you actually have some degree of control over what you're piloting other than drop-down menus.
>>262662632
That doesn't change where they're from.
And wasn't it some sort of sketchy licensing deal that ended up being illegitimate? I can't remember.
>>262662316
>>262660574
Unlike Evangelion, Xenogears was actually thoughtfully constructed. Eva is all lazy symbolism that didn't mean anything, Xeno has the best lore ever constructed for a vidya gaem.
Is this game any good?
>>262663658
that sure is a biiig tuna fish.
>>262663347
they got all the licenses over the table, but the issue is that they got them all from japan, the studios that actually made them
the distributors that owned the licenses in america were not happy with it, so because of it they were able to use all of the designs in their japanese books but not the english ones
>>262663658
I remember liking it a lot as a kid. I've still got it on Gamecube but the disc is scratched to hell.
>>262658974
Director's Cut is the Original plus all dlc and some other stuff.
>>262656226
>>262658974
This game was one of the biggest disappointments for me
>>262663723
>Survives in space by wrapping a scarf around his face and holding his breath
>>262663232
Absolutely terrible. I went into it without ever having played a real Front Mission title and I still felt insulted by how bad the game was.
>movement hardly has any weight to it, feels like a really slow TPS instead
>most parts are straight upgrades on each other which eliminates a lot of customization
>some missions remove customization entirely by forcing you to use a certain chassis (Ex: you have to use quad legs during some shitty defense mission despite the fact that bipeds would be a lot more useful)
>shitty infantry missions that are really boring
>buttfuck stupid storyline even for a Jap game
I had more fun playing the singleplayer Chromehounds campaign than I did with this game. It was so bad that I can barely even remember most of it, I kind of forced myself to forget about it so I could feel better. I feel bad for actual Front Mission fans who played it, some of them probably committed sudoku from how bad it was.
>>262663658
Aside from a few infuriating levels, I fucking loved that game.
guys my first mech was mech assault for original xbox, that shit was fun
whats some more stuff like that.pls no bully
If you like crazy arcady stuff, Gundam VS. Extreme Full Boost is the best fucking thing I've ever played in a while.
Gundam Breaker is bretty cool too. It's like a simpler Armored Core, but Gundam.

It really goes to show how fucked up it is that a group of fans made a better MechWarrior game than the guys with an actual budget rather than just their free time.
>>262660225
> MW games are all about multiplayer
are you saying that armored core isn't? because it is. they have fucking tournaments for that shit in nippon.

He said good.
>>262657087
>it's cool because of the customization but it's way too easy.
This. There's just no tactics, let alone strategy involved. All you have to do is get your wanzers in range and take out the enemy one by one. I played through the game earlier this year for the first time and felt like there was zero challenge. It's almost like playing a game like Gono Homo where you can't die no matter what you do.
>>262673770
Haven't been on in a few months so I don't know how active it is. It was pretty dead even during the most active times. I can still remember the emblems of pretty much any player or team that played regularly and it was usually just the same people fighting each other with barely any unfamiliar faces. This was on the 360 though, it might be better on the PS3.
The game itself is pretty good but it relies on the multiplayer a lot. You probably won't like it a lot if you only want to play singleplayer. The campaign is fun but I definitely didn't play through it as many times as I did For Answer.
>>262673871
I have a buddy who was one of the top players back in beta. He watched that game go from promising to what is it now.
I've never seen a man more defeated by a video game in my life.
