TOP TIER: tanks

>>343617806
Why are mecha so underrepresented in vidya compared to mages?
>top tier
when it's used to drive the plot and gameplay
>low tier
needless fluff that only serves to make it "look cool". Think cyberpunk or steampunk when they don't explore any of the themes or do anything interesting with the tech.

this

>nge not mecha
its a giant flesh based one
>>343618386
Does it really matter if the giant armor plated behemoth is organic?
>>343617806
>not sci-fi with magic
Get out of here pleb.
But Eva's aren't mechas they're gods in power suits.
Is World of Tanks a mecha game?
>>343617806
Mecha is gay, prove me wrong.
>>343617806
>EVA
>mecha
more like armored humanoid kaiju
>>343618782
It's cool.
Opinion debunked.

It's like zombies and infected, doesn't really matter.

>doesn't really matter
typical groupie
stay the fuck outta /m/
Quick! Name a completely fictional setting that doesn't fall under either the sci-fi or fantasy giant umbrellas.
Sci-fi > Fantasy >>> It was Sci-fi all along! Fantasy
>>343618107
what about real robot space tank mechs?
>>343617806
high fantasy > low fantasy
>>343619415
Fuck off, the undead are just the catalyst for people to go bat shit insane, it's all about the characters.
>>343618623
This guy gets it
>>343619603
>infected
>undead
pick one you miserable faggot
infected are technically not dead, YET, and can be cured
>>343617806
>EVA
>Mecha
Yeah it's time to kys.
>>343617806
>implying a fantasy setting can't have mecha
>>343619648
Yeah, yeah, infected are not zombies, but ir's not relevant to the plot, and what kind of infected are you talking about, havent's seen anything like that. Also, I Am a Hero's infected are undead.
>>343620095
>havent's seen anything like that.
yup, confirmed for groupie
unlearned fags like you are cancer
>>343618551
flesh is antithesis of "mecha"nical beings
for now, yeah
but it'll be run to the ground just like fantasy setting was
>>343620523
yet the EVA´s is very much controlled like a mech from the 80´s
they are effectively flesh mechs
>>343617806
wtf is this nonsense
Evangelion is fantasy as fuck.
>>343619787
brb rewatching
>>343620673
you control the suit the EVA is wearing, not the creature itself
therefore it's not mecha
EVA is kaiju for fucks sake
>>343620474
>nitpicking some shitty wow lore
wow, what other example you got? and you still haven't answered why is it relevant to the plot if they are undead or infected.
>>343620762
>that pic
>wow
fucking newfag kys
go grab an iso and play the mission this instant
I ain't spoonfeeding you fucking baby
>>343620474
man, stratholme has changed
>>343620853that's the warcraft 3 map
>>343620828
you are the one who brought it up, it's your argument fag.
>>343620949
it's a fucking classic GOTYAY game
the fact that you didn't get it right away disqualifies you from having any proper discussion with any knowledgeable individual
>>343619787
who dunbine here
>>343619415
How is taking a giant monster and putting armor on it the same as a mechanized humanoid made of synthetic material?
>>343619787
who granzort here
>>343619447
Dishonored
Thief
Alpha Protocol
Witcher
Dragon's Age
>>343617806
Magitek > Everything
>>343621195
that's exactly my questionwho are you quoting
I have nothing against fantasy, but I too prefer sci-fi and technical stuff.
>>343621250
>Dishonored
yeah
>Thief
I guess
>Alpha protocol
falls under modern military though
>Witcher
>Dragon Age
>Not fantasy
>>343621047
we were talking about movies/anime, mechas and zombies, am i supposed to play every single vidya zombie/infected related? gtfo, not everyone likes warcraft speglord.
>>343621353
I thought I had more than two examples but I didn't so I just added some fantasy stuff
And Dishonored is pretty much Thief.
>>343619447
Ace Combat.
Hard scifi >>> "soft" scifi
There is very little difference between magic space technology and wizard magic and shit. You've just substituted magic wands for wires and hydraulic tubing that go nowhere
>>343621578
My man!
>>343621578
The more technobable the better.

>>343620871I know
>>343621767
you would fucking love this game, then
Cyberpunk > Scifi > Fantasy
>>343621295
The guy you were responding to. Don't know what happened.
>>343621943
DUDE GEARS AND PIPES LMAO
>>343622062
That's steampunk you literal retard.
>>343622062
You're talking about steampunk.
At least cyberpunk media generally sticks to a set of cohesive themes instead of just gluing cogs on hats.
>>343621943
I like all three mixed together 2bh
I think settings that have aspects of both science fiction and fantasy are the best.
>>343617806
>magic
>not psionics
shiggy
>>343618623
We fucking need more arcanepunk
Bio-mechs are the only mechs you should be piloting.
Shitty, soulless robots are shit tier.
>>343617806
>Posting magic mecha
Idorts win again
>>343618107
>Tanks
Ah, you mean the plebian normalfags choice.
LOL WHY HAVE SOMETHING COOL WHEN YOU CAN HAVE BRICK WITH A GUN ON IT! IT'S SO EPIC AND REALISTIC
>>343619496
>Might and Magic
>Every single fucking timeStill better than Star Ocean
>>343623590
>implying normalfags arnt the retards who can't appreciate tanks so they go for LOL SO COOL BIG MECH PILOTED BY ANGSTY TEENAGERS JUST LIKE MY CHINESE ANIMES JUST TURN UR BRAIN OFF DUDE XD
>implying tanks are not the patrician choice
>>343623726
No Anonymous, because I see far more people going "lol mechs are stupid. why would you want a giant robot instead of a car?"
Just accept that you're normalfag tier. You normie with your love of tanks.
>>343623590
>Upper half is mecha
>Bottom half is a tank
>Crotch cannon
Everyone wins.
>>343623704
I don't mind how Star Ocean does things, but then again, I started with 3.
>>343620754
>person is controlling giant piece of power armor
>somehow this is not mecha
You explained it yourself.>>343620754
>>343617806
I'm actually a fan of both existing at the same time which somehow went out of style over the decades. There was a period when fantasy and SF weren't really separate.
>>343623847
>Started with 3
I'm so sorry.
>>343623896
that's never ever handled right, though. it always comes off as IT WAS SF ALL ALONG instead of seamless integration or just leaving it incredibly vague. there's that numenera game coming out soon, but I'd kill for a dying earth game.
>>343621570
The tech puts it into sci fi territory
>superlasers
>energy shields
>flying aircraft carriers
>>343624235
Hey, at least it wasn't 4.
>>343621943
Cyberpunk is a subgenre of sci fi
>>343620523
Xam'd is as mecha as mecha gets and, surprise surprise, it is 100% biological in nature.
>>343617806
Who mastema here!
>>343617806
literal shit tier games don't do both
I want Sci-fags to leave. Fantasy is the superior setting.
>>343625103
Why not both?
>>343625103
What's funny is that the person who made the OP image is a total mecha pleb since he has no idea about the existence of fantasy mecha.
>>343617893
you take that back faggot
>>343617806
But you're wrong. Fallout series isn't as well liked as the TES series.
>>343625270
Pretty much. Not to mention settings where magic IS effectively science.
>>343617806
I want an Xcom style NGE game where you basically play as Gendo, and get to lead the nerv.
>>343622302
>gluing cogs on hats
I hate this shit so much.
Steampunk used to be fine before it became a maximum fedoracore Internet fad around 2007.
>>343625740
Problem with steampunk is there's MAYBE like half a dozen game that do it right. Far too many are comfortable to do precisely shit like and just put cogs and wires on shit, and call it steampunk.
>>343625168
As long as there are no mechs.
>>343626039
But robots are cool.
>>343620095
It often does actually, since 'infected' are often a lot stronger than undead.
Take a look at 28 ___ Later, the infected there are basically berserk people that immediately turn other people berserk on blood contact, which is why it took so little time to wipe out huge numbers of people. Films where slow-moving undead take over the world are terrible, so they usually only show the first one or two nights of the outbreak.
>>343626039
>Access to magic AND science
>Not making magic-powered armour
Can we all agree that Sci-Fi is MILES better when there are no stupid fucking aliens around?
Between an alien and an elf or an orc there isn't much difference, they are always treated like the same shit and that's fucking stupid.
I'd rather have only humans and androids and robutts.
I want a Hyperion Cantos game.
>>343624815
Have you summoned me, son of man?
>>343624815
I don't know how to pilot drifters.
>>343626562
Well written aliens ≥ no aliens >>>>>> pointless aliens
If the aliens are actually shown to be extremely different to us, I'm always a*happy camper*!
>Love fantasy
>It's always western medieval/late antiquity
COME UP WITH SOMETHING NEW FOR FUCK SAKE!
>>343626507
>>343626071
Magic powered armour sounds cool as fuck, but anything that's a towering robot doesn't really appeal to me. Magic-fi when?
>>343624275
This is a real, large weaponized laser called Excalibur.
Ace Combat is real now.
>>343627425
Escaflowne >>343625270 is the best in its field for giant magi-fi robots.
We really need more in that field, but serious fantasy fiction seems to have fallen out of favor in the last few years, as have giant robots (as /m/ will be quick to point out).
>>343627564
Don't forget the penultimate prototype being a copy of a real Polish fighter jet.
>85% of good well made rpgs are set in medieval sword and magic bullshit setting
>can't stand the setting but love rpgs
