Why arent mecha games more popular in the US?
Because we like our mechs heavy and slow like tanks, not shootin' and flying about like nimble athletes.
>>324310976
Uso is goat
>>324312580
I like both.
>>324310976
That shit looks like fucking Speed Racer
The US only wants Call of Duty and cinematic experiences.
I was hoping we'd see an increase in good mech games with the release of Pacific Rim, guess I was wrong
>>324312580
But front mission is japanese
>>324313761
Well it flopped in the US.
>>324310976
Because its a niche genre in a niche genre. Its like being edgy in the edge of edginess. Nobody cares but yourself.
We only like realistic games like Halo and Gears

>>324314716
>implying they were anything other than shallow fanservice games
>>324314716
Xenogears was the only good Xeno game. Saga was bad and all these new ones are bad too.
>>324310976
It's because as a genre mech games are way too broad and yet still ironically niche. Nobody has made THE mech game and nobody can agree out of the games that are out what THE mech game is even if there is one.
The problem typically I find with mech games is they excel in one or two areas and then just flounder everywhere else.
The game gives you lots of customization but its not fun to play. The game is fun to play but it is really shallow. The game is a wide expansive persistent world but everything else around it kind of sucks. It's an isometric tactical game instead of being first or third person.
You don't see this problem with say FPS, because FPS has a formula that you can follow and then build an iterate upon and make (mostly) good games from that genre. Mech games don't exactly have hard and fast game mechanics to build upon. So while that brings you a lot of varied games only a handful of them are ever actually good and even those ones still aren't super great. Love able in the way broken games often are.
Mecha also doesn't have the broad reach you think it would though and often they are far too complicated for jimmy who buys madden every year so they sell like garbage too
>>324313905
It did?
2 is confirmed though, right?
I remember them saying something about that

>you will never spam missiles at muslims in your lifetime
>>324315118
Actually Universal is backing down on that and is saying "it isn't on the table right now"
>>324314043
Mechs are not a niche. Unfortunately mech games do get forced into real niche like multiplayer focus.
>>324313905

>tfw you will never pilot a robot in a shape of a girl
>>324316493
Then why is the sequel getting cancelled?
>>324316814
third person games, sure, Cybertron and Devastation were pretty great
problem is that folks want the cockpit experience which Transformers can't offer for obvious reason
Giant Robots are by their very nature, a bad concept. It's taking the ineffective and absurd and glorifying it for no good reason. There is no situation in which an oversized mechanical man is more effective than a flying/dynamic wheeled mobile tank/artillery.
There is literally no reason whatsoever to produce large scale mecha, ever. You want mecha without them being shit, they damn well better be exo-suits. That's the only "mecha" worth a shit because it's the only one that makes any sense. Enhancing soldiers IS something you do. Building poorly constructed humanoid vehicles with poorly designed Japanese energy swords is bad and you should feel bad for thinking it's good.
>>324312860
People wank Amuro too much. Uso is easily the best UC pilot
>>324318565
>NO FUN ALLOWED
>>324310976
Muh realism is a very big factor.
>>324310976
How the fuck does victory look worse than everything that came before it.
Because they don't sell the mecha figures to go along with the games.
>>324317797
It's not, Del Toro himself said so.
>>324314716
Mechs are not the focal point of the Xeno series you dunce. You can't seriously have gone into Xenoblade X expecting an Armored Core game.
Armored Core 6 when? WHEN?
>>324316493
> it made nearly 90% of its budget in the US alone

101M/190M ????
>>324310976
Will there ever be a gundam game that makes you feel like you're actually piloting a mobile suit? Not this shit where you run around beam sabering everything in the face because range is totally worthless.
>>324310976
Armored Core (pre-4) games are GOAT. They also did fairly well if I remember correctly.
>>324314716
Xenoblade Chronicles X is a JRPG that just happens to have mechs in it. It's not a mech game.
>>324315014
>nobody has made THE mech game
Armored Core series nigga.
>>324316701
X is better. The original had a shit story and characters. X does too, but unlike the original they aren't the focal point of X. The original had decent music and environments but was otherwise mediocre.
>>324319954
Not soon enough. Hopefully From goes back to the slower pace of the PS1/PS2 games and doesn't use the fatass midget mechs from V/Verdict Day.
>>324320489
>actually piloting a mobile suit?
From what we see in the show, that is impossible. The controls are on the same level as "push the lever and scream" from Mazinger.
>>324314295
>taking the bait
>>324320489
>Will there ever be a gundam game that makes you feel like you're actually piloting a mobile suit?
Unless you pretty much build an actual mobile suit simulator, which I'm assuming will make the steel batallion controller look african-tier in complexity, I doubt there will be a game where you will feel like you're actually piloting it. Honestly, if they made a Gundam game using the mechanics and gunplay Titanfall has, it would be GOAT.
>>324319225
Hey don't pick on him. He's probably going to be put in charge of his countries entire military soon enough because that's the kind of guy that knows the best defense IS DEFENSE.
>>324322231
As long as he doesn't mix up the best offense is offense I think we got a shoe in.
Unbelievable we don't get realistic tank games, it's like they just want the terrorists to win.
>>324320807
I liked V/VD. Hated the DEF system though since it shit on most of the guns they added.
I just want more SRPGs with mechas.
I can only play Front mission and SRW so much..
>>324310976
Because Americans think giant robots are stupid, for some reason.
Also, Nu Gundam is sexiest Gundam.
>>324322928
I liked them too. I wasn't saying they're bad games or anything. I'm just hoping the next one goes back to the classic gameplay and larger mechs.
>>324320489
Pic related probably is as close as we're ever going to get, unless you manage to find a place to play that Gundam game with the 360 view vr pods.
>>324312580
Armored Core Verdict Day let you be a heavy mech easily.
>>324323602
They all did.
>>324323279
I would love that. As long as it isn't 4/4A flying shit. God fuck.
>>324323279
Eh, it was alright, reminded me of VOTOMS. But yeah, definitely want some high speed jet mechas next time.
>>324323834
>>324323872
Yeah I meant the PS1/PS2-era AC gameplay. Not the AC4 fast-paced stuff. Those games were fine but felt nothing like Armored Core. If they wanted to do something in that style again I'd rather Sony have them make an Omega Boost sequel or something.
>>324310976
Because almost none of them are localized.
>>324323459

Will check it out anon. Is there a dreamcast emulator?
>>324319154
I assume you meant Kamille. I'm watching Victory right now, and while Uso is damn good, I don't think he quite rivals Kamille.
I wish they could port some AC games to PC, VD could use some graphical tweaks and better online.
>>324325384

>>324310976
they're not popular because they're literally never localized

>>324325842
While people say Judau was the strongest newtype in UC, I'm pretty sure Kamille has him beat. The dude fucking summoned ghosts to make him stronger.
>>324326252
Kamille was a better pilot, and may have used his powers better, but Judau had more raw Newtype power.
Until Banagher popped up, now hes the bestest that ever was.
Is the best way to get into Gundam to watch in chronological order, like most series? Theres just so much gundam, is some skippable?
>>324326513
There are timelines. You can pick whatever timeline you want and start from the beginning. It's like Final Fantasy, read about them and pick whichever sounds the most interesting.
>>324326739
thanks m9
>>324326513
Release order.
>>324326513
I'm personally a UC kinda guy, and you have to watch the main series in order to understand the plot, althought you can skip ZZ if you like and jump into Char's counterattack and Unicorn
Outside that, most Gundam shows are their own thing, such as Wing Gundam, G Gundam, Gundam 00
The only other series I remember getting two shows set in the same universe is SEED and SEED Destiny
>>324325863
Fucking kill yourself you unimaginative shit.
>>324326860
Mine is clearly newer.
>>324326482
Wasn't it just UNICORN doing most of the work?Char was still better.
I'm just sad that FROM SOFTWARE didn't port all the AC series into the PC

The Unicorn was just a psychoframe to channel his newtype hax in the end.
He was stalling fleets of mobile suits by waving at them and basically trascended his human form and turned into liquid newtype LCL in the end.

Frontier was garbage

>>324325371
I got the game on dreamcast ages ago so I couldn't tell you. You might have an easier time getting the Blue Destiny games to work on a Saturn emulator. They're the predecessors to Sidestory 0079 and are also first-person, but they're way more arcade-y in terms of missions structure and gameplay.
>>324310976
Because Harmony Gold still owns the rights to Macross in the US. Once their Robotech tyranny is ended it will be a glorious mecha revolution!
Pic related, glorious perfect waifu.
>>324326513
>>324327403
To add to these charts, if you go into early UC I recommend watching 0080 (War in the pocket) and 0083 (Stardust Memory) right after 0079. There's some stuff in Zeta that isn't explained too well, and these two shows help smooth the transition.
>>324327540
I forgot about that dismissive 'Everyone is peace' wave.Can you explain Newtype. Or have link. I remember it being the next step in human evolution to communicate to each other through the vastness of space or some shit. But it seems to have gone off the rails now.
>>324327540
>>324327010
>>324325842
>>324325384
I swear Tomino said once that Kamille was supposed to be the strongest newtype in UC (Psychoframe BS notwithstanding). He wasn't the best pilot though, not certainly compared to the bullshit Uso was pulling out.

>>324326859
>Skip ZZ if you like
Why would you skip the PurusAnd that baller Dublin Drop arc?
I have Armored Core 3 for my PS2. I really like mechs and all (Although I prefer Evangelion and Zone of the Enders type mechs more), but I cannot, for the life of me, get into this game. Any general tips to an absolute fucking newbie to Armored Core?
I remember money being a huge issue while I was playing, too. Any help is really appreciated, because holy butt is that game something, even when I had a mech that was the equivalent of my first car with some neon spray paint on it.

>skipping ZZ
>going into Unicorn without knowing shit needed to understand the show
Please don't do this
Here is the problem
Most gundam and similar anime is way too... Japanese. The only Gundam series that could make it in the West would be something similar to 08th MS and War in the Pocket, but even both of those didn't do so well because of generic gay anime shit getting in the way. In 08th, there was the soundtrack and the badly forced relationship with Shiro and Eina on top of some generic anime moments like when Shiro's crew reacted to Shiro using the Ez8's arm to fight Norris. Honestly, the only reason Wing did as well as it did here was because of all the action, explosions, emo (hurr serious) characters and lack of ugukawaii moments that plague most anime. Basically the same reasons Attack on Titan has done so well in the west. Basically grit. Anime in general lacks grit on top of pacing, there is also the issue of unnecessary fan service. Cowboy Bebop did well in the west, but what is the average complaint about Bebop? Ed. Think about it. Maybe someone can forward a similar message to the people in charge of localization.
>>324328565
>there are people who didn't like Ed
>>324328015
Heightened awareness caused by being in space, spacially and emotionally. Psychic powerups and telepathy in high level newtype cases. Supposedly the next step in human evolution, but we see Newtypes are still the vast minority by the time of Victory Gundam, really late UC.
>>324328541
>ZZ
>putting up with Kamille
Yea fuck no. I went from Wing, to 08th MS, to Stardust, attempted ZZ, then into War in the Pocket and Unicorn. Best decisions ever.

What about the fact that Quarter was a total moe fucktoy? Or maybe it was the selling point for all the impressionable teenagers?
Also what about Relena's entire outro in the first half? That was p-uguu/kawaii
>>324328158
I didn't skip ZZ, but I think it's skippable if you just wanna go 0079, Zeta, then CCA
>>324328541

I think most people in this board care too much and are really self-conscious about things being perceived as anime. Shit, Persona is way too fucking popular and that shit is ANIME as fuck compared to mainline games.

Same as above. No one gave a fuck about her. As far as the western audience goes, the majority wanted more Deathscythe and Wing Zero.
>>324314108
Completed this a few hours ago. Bretty gud, kinda hard, and one trillion times better than the first.
Man, fuck Leo.
>>324328229
-Save often. I would save after every successful mission. If you fail a mission then reload instead of eating the money.
-I forget if 3 had any good energy arm weapons in the early stages, but if it does I would recommend using them. Energy weapons means not having to pay for ammo.
-Get used to the controls. The older games use an unconventional scheme but it works well once you're used to it.
-Get used to dodging missles. Pretty self explanatory. Boost is your friend here.
-Be smart with your ammo. Every shot costs money so try to be frugal.
-Experiment. One of my favorite things about the games is you can sell parts for the same prices you paid for them. This allows you to mess around with a bunch of different configurations until you find one that works for you, either as an all-purpose mech or just for a single mission.
>>324329224
Just because the Western audiences ignored the anime cliches because they were distracted by giant edgy robots doesn't mean that Wing isn't filled with Jap as fuck moments.
>>324325842
Kamille could've stopped CCA from happening entirely.
>>324329118
Im sorry that I got into gundam late in the game and bounced around series. I hope this lessens the pain I bestowed on your anus.
Kamille can eat dicks and die. Shiro, Norris, and Bernie are the most /m/anliest men there could ever be, Banagher is a fag, and Riddhe would have been a far more interesting main.
What's the best AC to emulate on PC?
>>324329614
While I disagree on Kamille, you got pretty good taste on everything else. Have a picture of a cute grill.
>>324329480
>doesn't mean that Wing isn't filled with Jap as fuck moments.
Ill give you that since at the time of loving Wing, I was in the 3rd grade and hyped on DBZ. All I wanted was more explosions and giant robot fights. At the time, I was easily the typical western audience. I still somewhat am the typical western audience as I hardly try and dive into anime. My most recent "dive" would probably be with One Punch Man which was great, and that garbage Cross Ange. Couldn't make it passed the 5th episode, or whichever episode Coco dies.
>>324329614
>Kamille can eat dicks and die
Kamille was baller as fuck and didn't take shit from nobody. First thing he does is sucker punch a dude and steal a car. Kids a psycho, and he's probably my favorite character in the franchise.
>>324328565

Mecha games have an audience problem, either they go the sim route and risk having their audience being way too small because normies don't want to deal with that shit, of they go the arcadey route and normies will just ignore them because they would basically be playing any other third person shooter except clunkier to emulate the "feel" of a mech.

Original series is pretty much mandatory, it's the bedrock of the UC universe even the AU series all still call back to it in one way or another.
>>324332334
War in the Pocket is the best Gundam.
Discuss.
>>324331085
>you can build a thousand drones
In the UC timeline minovsky physics make remote control a problem because the radiation from the fusion generators block most em bands, and the fact is used militarily. Shit like drones called funnels do exist, which are psychically controlled mobile beam cannons, but for most newtypes controlling more than a few is difficult.

Find a High Grade of a design you like. You're better off if it's a more recent kit, so try something from at least Gundam 00 and on. Then grab your basic tools. An X-acto and a pair of nippers are all you really need (I recommend Xuron nippers) but sandpaper is useful too (Make sure it's a high grit though, nothing too rough).
Then just build the thing. The instructions are as easy as building a Lego, with the only difference is instead of having bags where you need to find that fucking piece in you just go cut the piece from a runner when you need it. Also read the guides in the gunpla generals on /m/ and /toy/.
>>324332798
Tastiest supporting character
>>324332015
00 starts off pretty good but gets stupid at the intermission. X is great though and should have been broadcast either instead of wing or right after in the west.
>>324314295
Is sarcasm not a thing in your language?
I read somewhere that Miyazaki wants to make a new Armored Core with "Souls DNA". Thoughts on this?
IMO it sounds like a horrible idea.
>>324328013
Only 0083 ties in with zeta, but I think it works better to watch afterwards. The reveal of the reasoning has a greater impact after watching zeta imo.
>>324332987
>>324332015
X is ok, it would have been a lot better if it hadn't all but completely dropped the whole post-apocalyptic setting after like the first arc.
>>324332798
It definitely does the best job of exploring Gundam's anti-war themes. The attempts in most of the other series are laughable by comparison. And Bernie is a bro;_;
Al is an annoying little shit though, but he's necessary for the theme of the show and six episodes isn't long enough for him to seriously get on my nerves anyway.
>>324332476
>going to /m/'s gunpla threads
Then again this is /v/ so fast paced but ultimately shit threads with recurring spammers must be familiar to everyone

It's not like AC in it's current state is any good, so I think adding something new to the formula could improve it.
>>324333234
The characters are some of the best from any of the AC though, and that's what matters in a drama.
>>324333648
>wanting another 4/FA style game
Fuck no.
>>324333654
V/VD weren't bad. Definitely better than the two that came before.

It's the DmC of AC. If it was it's own mech game it would've been fine.
It's also the FF7 of Armored Core games.

Thoughts on this game?
I heard the PvP is incredibly good in this game, to the point where there are plenty of arcade tournaments in Japan.
>>324334065
I already said this earlier, but while they weren't bad they didn't seem like Armored Core games. They are the Metal Gear Rising of the series. They're also proof that Miyazaki needs to be kept away from the franchise.
>>324319509
They couldn't afford shading so it looks cheap as fuck.
>>324333910
I get not liking 4/FA compared to 1 (and its spinoffs)/2 (and another age)/3. Personally, I really like all of these games and I still play them all on/off to this day, but people who hate 4/FA more than Silent Line/Last Raven/V baffle me to be honest.
Never played VD because of how much I absolutely disliked V.
>>324334318
>FF7 or Armored Core
It wasn't exactly popular, was it? I'm pretty sure AC2 is the best selling one, both worldwide and specifically in the west. AC4/FA are more like the FFXIII of the series.
Mecha games aren't popular anywhere, for that matter. Though you could argue that the Americans have made a considerable number of Mech games, especially when they include mech sections in other games (like Saints Row 4).
>>324334114
>No Karen
You're ok.War had the Kampfer and Hygogg though so I'm split too.
>>324334481
I never said I disliked 4/FA. I just don't want any more like that. Also what's wrong with the three you mentioned? Ninebreaker and the PSP one (that wasn't a port) were the only bad ones IMO.
>>324334318
>>324334389
So basically, neither of you guys have any idea of what you're talking about?
And its funny to say AC4 doesn't feel like an Armored Core game when ACVD is way worse.
>>324334159
Thats still a large leap better than what the rest of AC has to offer.

>>324326513
literally just watch production order, particularly for anything in UC
drop anything you don't like while watching (although give it a few episodes to get back on track just in case, almost dropped Zeta half way but that would have been a mistake, Zeta is great)
you can watch non-UC stuff whenever, but production order is still a pretty good way to watch it, and you'll get all of the references/allusions/etc to series made up to that point (namely, watch Turn A after watching everything before it)
>>324328565
Gundam has a lot of grit. Really, I dunno how it doesn't succeed in the west, it's a pretty decent series that makes a solid attempt at depicting war and cool ass robots.
>tfw if you re-released 0079 as is, except replace all the mobile suits with VTOL spaceships, it might be accepted better in the west because there seems to be some sort of robot stigma
>>324330093

>>324330501
he's a crazy unstable maniac with too much damn pride and daddy issues at the start of Zeta
Kamille is great. I love how fucking nuts the kid was.
>>324329770
All the PS1 games emulate well.
The PSP games should emulate fine too, but I haven't tried them in PPSSPP.
>>324334065
I like fast robots, but I kind of liked the older, heavier feeling AC games.
>>324334382
man, I wish Sega would make another Virtual On, Gundam Vs. scratches my itch, but it plays so damn differently, and no one wants to play VOOT even though it's amazing
EXVS is a great fucking game (but I'm bad)
>>324334885
Yeah what the fuck did happen?
>>324328307

AC pre 4 are what everyone thinks should be an AC game
and they are fucking right
your game is like AC, but with SPEED, which ruins it. like the other anon said, it'd be fine with it being its own new game.
i like my AC games with strategy and building my mech, not zooming all over the fucking place like its ZoE.

Honestly watching the first 2 episodes of Zeta with a friend was amazing. It was such a clusterfuck and we had no idea who was supposed to be the bad guy.Up until Bask's cronies started beating the shit out of Bright that is.
>>324335219
It plays completely different though. That's the problem.
What is the best Armored Core game?
I've never played one, and I feel like a good mecha game to play.
What does /v/ think of MechWarrior online?
>>324320807
>Xenoblade Chronicles X is a JRPG that just happens to have mechs in it. It's not a mech game.
Have you played the game? Skells are a huge part of the game. You literally can't finish the story without having a Skell.
>>324335861
Last Raven, but start with 2.
>>324335435
>idols in space
>good
I hope you mean "so bad it's good". I'll stick to the more mature mecha anime Gundam series that depict war as realistic and brutal, thank you very much.
>>324335590
No it doesn't. It's faster and you can fly but it still holds the basic principles of all AC games. (ac building, full customization, ect)
ACVD plays completely different from every AC game in that it adds rock-paper-scissor defense and not to mention wall jumping or scan mode.
A fleshed out mech simulation game with a metric fuckton of key bindings
that requires the whole gamut of throttle sticks, pedals, head-tracking
and still doesn't play well.
>>324335910
Don't even bring up MWO. I'm still angry that we got this when we could have gotten MW5.
Such a fucking shame. Atleast that new Battletech game might be cool.

>the only reason Wing did as well as it did here was because of all the action, explosions, emo (hurr serious) characters and lack of ugukawaii moments that plague most anime.
No, the reason it did well was because it came out of left field and shocked audiences by being something different, the same with dbz. Dragonball is arguably better, and dbgt was the same shit, yet neither of those did anywhere near as good. Wing came in and swept audiences and gave them their fill then they were done with the genre.
>>324335945
MS Gundam comes out in 1979.
Influences the creation of Macross.
Macross influences Zeta Gundam.
Zeta Gundam is the precursor to all modern military mecha from Japan.
Macross influences Battletech. Battletech becomes Mech Warrior.
Macross influences all western mecha.
Macross is the grand daddy of all mecha, and you're a pissant plebian.
since we're talking about ZZ
I thought that part where Bright laid the punchdown on Kamille and that other dude in the bridge was fucking hilarious
>From Software will never make a new good Armored Core game again
thanks Souls games
Fuck off with all these Gundam shit. Here, have one of the best mech games ever made.

a-anon are you okay?
>>324337615
It's bland to it's very core. Take any Mecha/robot game you like and remove like 70% of whatever it is you like about it. Also it is a third person shooter sequel to a traditionally turn based strategy game. That would be ok if it wasn't so poorly done.
>There are people on /v/ who never played this
>>324338052
Anon, the windmill is necessary so the Gundam can keep cool!
>>324337615
it's mostly your standard fare shooter and not in a good way. I really didn't mind they had some on-foot section since Front Mission 3 had those as well but it was poorly executed. The currency (shop) system doesn't make sense. You have to constantly refund and buy stuff for newer parts and weapons. No messing around and tuning your wanzer.
Also the story is average at best
Anyone ever play this shit? Looks like a boring old FPS dressed up as a "mech game" to me. Probably nobody left playing it, anyway.
>>324338684
