Best mech games?

Japanese Mecha: Z.O.E 2nd Runner
Western Mecha: Mechwarriors 2
>>320820268
Both Z.O.E games are great but the 2nd runner is amazing. Z.O.E1 didn't age as well.
Never played Mechwarriors 2

Nigger did you just call a wanzer a transformer?
Are you 12?
>>320820667
Never played it anon, sorry
Armored Core.
Front Mission 1 is a piece of shit. I liked Gun Hazard. Is FM2 better than the original?
>>320820128
can tiny mechs count too?
>>320820667
I've been meaning to play it.
>>320820128
something something xcx
xenogears obviously
>>320820667
The controls take some getting used to and the difficulty is insane if you're using a photon early on, but it's one of my favorites alongside phantom crash. The story isn't as good as phantom crash, but who cares when there's more customization, arenas, and mechs?
>>320820813
FM2 is better yeah, FM3 is even better still. FM3 is best in the series i think. But a lot of people prefer FM4
The controls were to complicated for me back then.

Good taste.
>>320820128
Holy shit I fucking loved Front Mission 3 when I was a kid.Why did the series die off such a horrible death?
>>320821132
Never before did I have to bind so many keys on my keyboard but god damn it young teenage me wanted to blow shit up so bad. I loved the first heavy gear though.
Hawken is fun
tfw i will never play project hon...too bad it's vaporware
>>320821236
Never played it myself, sorry man. My cousin who is a massive fan of the series hated it though. turned into an actiony third person shooter. Kind of a shame really.
>>320821390
That's Evolved you're talking about mate.
>>320820128
Front Mission 5
Mechwarrior 2 : Mercenaries
Mechcommander
EarthSiege 2
>>320821368
Hawken is okay. I don't know if I'd describe it as fun.
It's too repetitive to be called that.
>>320821443
Wait yeah it is too, i forgot 3 and 4 are really similar so i always forget 5 is a thing. according to cousin he generally says 3>5>4>2>1>>>>>>>evolved. Apparently 4 is great but it missed some of the magic in 3, and they removed some of the features and mechanics. 5 has a really awesome training sim though from what i saw when he streamed it. And the weapon/dmg system seemed really cool in FM5
>>320821368
>>320821472
I definitely had fun with it, but it was too p2w
>>320821470
>Mech 2 Mercenaries

>>320821390
That's evolved. You should really give FM5 a play if you haven't as it's at least on par with FM3 and 4. The friendly fire can be annoying but at least it got me to not just surround and enemy with mechs and link attack them to death like FM4.
>>320821637
>3 and 4 are really similar
I'm going to have to ask you to elaborate since I have no idea what you're talking about.
>>320821843
you mean32:40
front mission 3
maybe 5 but the first boss kicks my ass so hard. its harder than dark souls
>>320820797
I agree with this.
Armored Core 3 is my favorite and I wish I still had a ps2 so I could play it.
>>320822502
>its harder than dark souls
you say that like it's impressive
>>320821236
FM5 is great, possibly the second best in the series but you NEED to have played almost the entire series up to that point to really get it story-wise because it finishes so many story arcs and background stuff. It's an amazing send-off for a franchise and thank fuck for fan translation.
>>320821000
4 had that silly disjointed story where you're hopping between two different squads. I found it really grating. The story was nothing special as well
What killed armored core by the way? PS2 late era? PS3?
WHAT HAPPENED?
>>320821285
Front Mission 4 was kinda convoluted and didn't sell well. FM 5 was better but wasn't ported over because of 4's reception. In the end I think it was a bit too niche.
This is one of the best I've played.
Chuck in MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries, Armored Core and Virtual On and that's pretty much all you need to play mechs.
>>320820883
the designs were pretty neat but the mech combat was fucking shit and made me die inside whenever i had to get into a gear
>>320822198
If you think this isnt a ps2 graphics version of FM3 then you're kidding yourself. Even the cutscenes looks the same but better graphics.
Are any of the 360/PS3 Armored Core games good?
I want to get one for 360, I only played the first one that was on 360 but I don't think I heard anything about the newer ones.Online is probably dead on all of them, is verdict day the one with the mmo features?
>>320822502
front mission difficulty varies on which route you take. dhz scenario is much more difficult.
>>320822715
Oh you meant graphics wise, my bad.
>>320822747
Well my route was the "wanzer that is really fucking hard to beat then when you think you've won it transforms into a motherfucking attack helicopter"
>>320822671
AC4 is where shit started to go downhill.
V and VD are where it croaked.
>>320822706
>MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries
Literally the best western mech game ever made. I'm glad Battletech project is happening, even if it's not Mechwarrior.
>>320822814
Yeah, when i meant they are similar i was going off visual memory. Sorry should have mentioned that. sorry
best mech franchise any game made by them is 100% gold
>>320822715
I genuinely thought I put FM3 in my PS2 when I bought FM4. They really didn't bother upping the visual quality.
>>320822715
>>320822823
For some reason this lookseven worse than FM3. Is it because of emulation stretching the screen?
Actually loved this game when i was a kid. it's probably utter trash now though.
>>320820797
>picked up AC Last Raven
>hard as fuck, some AI mechs were pretty much impossible
>so much equipment named in such a way that they're mostly unrecognisable from each other
>still never beaten it
>>320823010
FM4 has really abysmal native resolution.
>>320823010
Not sure, i just grabbed a random screen from google. It looks fine when you emu it though.
>>320821470
>Mechcommander
I've been trying to get into it recently but I just can't quite find the meat to it. It feels like a really basic RTS without base building at the moment. Does it have any deeper mechanics?
>tfw still nothing better than FM3 and ZOE2
Jesus Christ, everyone need to step up and do something
>FM5 and arena mode
>Put my melee focused pilot against missile focused enemy
>My guy does 360 walks away and gets pummeled by missiles
>>320822919
I wouldn't go that far, they did have those beatemups which were trash.
It's a pity it didn't take off, it had lots of potential and this GBA game was great.
>>320823231
The arena is dumb as shit sometimes
>>320823210
Well apparently kojima is working on a new mech game based around ZOE style. Personally im hoping for the project he and Deltoro wanted to make.
>>320820128
Fun Freeware.
It's alright Arcade styled game.
>>320822718
V and Verdict Day both have the always on clan features
4 and 4 Answer have high speed threshhold; and I recommend those over Vs.
I have never played either of these online and I still found them to be a solid experience. I've only ever played Nexus and 4 before these two (enjoyed those too). Customisation is fantastic.
>>320823207
To be honest it's mostly about picking your battles wisely, loadout autism and stealing the smoke jaguars' omnitech shit
>>320823231
Huh? How does the arena in FM5 work? I never played it.
>>320823253
Licensing to bring it to America came 4 months before the bottom fell out of the franchise in Japan.
Such a pity.
>>320823427
Both mechs are AI cotrolled and you hope to Jesus yours doesn't act like a retard
>>320820128
Was FM2 ever translated to English? I think that's the only one I haven't played yet.
>>320820918
I bought this off my friend and eventually gave it back because I played it to death and wanted him to get back into gaming and get out of being such a normie (it didn't work).Not before ripping the .iso though.
>>320823473
>Both mechs are AI cotrolled
Holy shit, why?
>>320823521
You can get an English patch these days yeah.
>>320823253
Great game, but this game awakened my crossdressing fetish.
>>320823207
Not really.
The mechanics that made MechWarrior MechWarrior did not translate well into RTS format.
>No heat
>Light and mediums are utterly pointless
>If you don't steal some of the heavy clan omni mechs, you're pretty screwed
>J and W variant sacrifice way way too much armor for practically no gain
This is on easy by the way, normal and hard are even more brutal since on those the enemy can actually hit and the faults of W&J variants become more apparent.
And the general consensus is that 2 is even worse.
>>320823427
>>320823473
I just look for any reason to post this .webm.
>>320823589
We wouldn't want an easy way for player to gain money, now would we?
I want to play a Gundam game where I can use the Tallgeese that isn't that SNES fighting game.
>>320823589
It's less of an arena and more of a betting ring.
PLus if your mech is too strong you'll get nothing if you win
Are there any more fast-paced mech games like ZOE2? AC looks fast, but not quite as much.
>>320823856

>>320823329
is the singleplayer/story fun? or is it more like arcade skirmishes
i really liked how customizable shit was in the first one
Anyone else shocked about how Mechwarrior Online is actually pretty good now? What the fuck happened, I remember playing that in beta and it being assballs. Glad it went to steam, clearly someone there has had their head straight for a while getting it playable.
>>320820128
What the fuck is this?
How the shit can you equip a gun on each arm AND have two shoulder weapons?
>>320823521
There's a partial translation that covers all the menu text but requires a script since some dialog isn't translated. I believe it also requires a specific version of the game in order to work.
>>320824240
AND only have two legs.
>>320824171
Does it still take a million years to get enough money to buy anything bigger than a Jenner?
>>320823805
>>320823418
Shame. I really enjoy the presentation of the game, but if there's not much more to it than this then I shan't bother going on. Feels like it would have worked better as a turn based game with heat and action points as your resources. That would have let you target specific locations too.
Oh well. Thanks for the heads up.
>>320823010
>>320823076
I personally think that FM4 has awful art direction and sound design. FM3 sounds so good and even with the low polygons, manages to have way more interesting environments. It helps that the overview is 2d with a 3d world.
>>320824083
4 has a bad translation and literally craps out by cutting the dialog at the climax and leaves you wondering what's happening. But it has a few really enjoyable missions, and has the most of the infiltration missions of any of the modern games.
4A has a plot and narrative and has a "Hard Mode", the only one of the 7th gen games that do, which add replayability. Though lots of the missions go by fast.
V has 8 really meaty missions. Everything else is just as short as 4A. Though I want to mention they removed the arena ladder and replaced it with basically dual missions. So while there's more missions: there's less content. The story is individually focused but something's missing to really connect everything, and I don't know who to blame that on.
VD has 13 really meaty missions, and had an interesting take on arm weapons; and the story makes sense. I just am a little leery about recommending a game where you have to code an AI to build support units if you're playing alone.
>>320824240
Looks like a hack. That handheldenergy weaponis supposed to be only one of a kind in a normal gameplay.
>>320824514
It's pissing money at me right now, i've played 25 games, bought and fully kitted out a light and a medium and get about 150k-250k a match, a mech costing about 5-10mil. *shrug* It's still expensive as all hell to buy something for real money though, i think the cheapest thing is about 20 bucks.
More than anything else, I'm just shocked at how playable it is, and how many people are actually playing it. The game was garbage, total garbage two years ago.

Front Mission 3 is among my favorite games. Fuck, it was awesome.
>>320824858
>no mechs
fuck off
Mechwarrior 3 was the shit.
Also i guess you could consider Future Cop LAPD a mech game i you wanted to, that one was great also.
>>320823020
Nah, it's good. Only thing I use on my smartphone is the PSX emulator, and that one runs smooth as fuck.
Ring of Red (PS2) - a SRPG where you play as post-WW2 mechs in an alternative history. Battles are tense as fuck, even against grunts. The only con is that it is really slow, it has a bunch of unnecessary animations for everything. Missions take 2 or more hours each, and there's 17 of them. Also DORA SHOT.
Gungriffon Blaze (PS2) - really awesome game, the only con is that it's in japanese. Also, it can take some getting used too, because left stick controls the camera, and right stick controls movement. Actually a series that started on the Sega Saturn.
Metal Saga (PS2) - a side-story of the relatively obscure Metal Max series. It doesn't have robots _per se_, but you fight in vehicles, like tanks and planes. If you've ever wanted a japanese Fallout (sorta), it's this game.
Musha Aleste (Sega Genesis) - a shooting game where you control a robot.
Assault Suits series (various) - There's Leynos (I and II), and Valken (I and II). Leynos I can be quite unforgiving, though.
MS Saga (PS2) - RPG where you can combine various parts from different Gundam mechs to make ungodly abominations. The story is kinda shit.
Another Century Episode 1, 2 and 3 (PS2) - awesome spin-off of Super Robot Wars, made by From Software. The only con is that they're all on japanese. Don't get Another Century Episode R.
Robot Alchemic Drive (PS2) - you actually control the robot from the outside (kinda like Giant Robo).
Omega Boost (PSX) - "where are the enemies" the game.
Gigantic Army and Gunhound EX (PC) - first is a Valken clone, second is a Valken clone with animu characters.
Steambot Chronicles (PS2) - open-world game where you create steam-powered robots.
Vanguard Bandits (PSX) - classic SRPG, you probably saw someone playing this once.
Kikaioh/Tech Rommancer (Arcade, Dreamcast) - fighting game with a ton of super robot anime tropes.
Power Rangers The Fighting Edition (SNES) - made in the same engine as Gundam Wing Endless Waltz.
>>320820128
Steel Battalion
>>320823210
>Trusting western audience to rate an eastern game
"Oh boy robots are clunky controls are bad story doesn't make sense"
Realistic mechs: Steel Battalion.
Too bad it got bad rep because people didn't want to learn how to use kinect. It's actually fun and innovative. Made by everyone's favorite FROM SOFTWARE.
>>320825092
>Too bad it got bad rep because people didn't want to learn how to use kinect.
no, its got a bad rep because the goddamn kinect controls didn't work for shit.
>>320825092
>Kinect Steel Battalion
>not actual Xbox HUEG Steel Battalion
Fuck you you stupid faggot.
>>320824689
Maybe I'll give it another try. I enjoyed playing it with my brother a while ago but got bored since I could never get enough credits to build my own mech and didn't particularly enjoy playing any of the free ones. I always thought it would be funny to build a Jagermech with six AC2s.
>>320825092
>didnt want to use kinect
>controls barely worked
>>320823207
Its main draw is the resource conservation between missions. Your mechs can get destroyed, the individual components you equip on your mechs can be destroyed and your mechwarriors can get injured and killed. Purchasable parts and mechs are limited in supply so you're expected to salvage parts and mechs from fallen enemies, which you can't do if you over kill them and cause them to blow up. The parts you salvage are also usually Clanner technology which are better than anything you can buy.
>>320824573
You can use the numpad controls to target specific enemy mech parts, and the orientation of the unit to the projectile being fired at it is also taken into account. For example, you can target the head and kill the pilot to quickly dispatch the enemy and salvage the mech and its components intact but the hit chance is pretty low, especially at the beginning when your mechwarriors are still inexperienced.
>>320824953
Fine jeez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vE7jqHBaes
>>320825246
>Jagermech with six AC2s.
Gets fucked by the heat buildup unless you use it in a way that doesn't make use of all 6 of them.
>>320821285
It was too niche, combined with the fact that Square-Enix had no idea what to do with it so they outsourced it to Double Helix. Who completely fucked it up, made an incredibly generic third-person-shooter (which includes being on-foot and in the Wanzers), a tight release time getting a lot of content cut (like large parts of the bland story, free entry and exit of Wanzers at will, campaign co-op, etc.), and utterly no real redeemable factor in the long run.
It pretty much killed the series. Which is sad, because it had potential. Especially given that there was a Japan-only Front Mission Online on the PS2 and PC that was apparently really, genuinely good as a TPS, but again.. Japan-only, and long since died back in 2008.
Fuck Square-Enix man.
>>320824664
Makes sense, the closest I ever tried was kitting out Ryogo with a machinegun in each arm and getting the double shot skill or whatever with RoFups.
Pretty much wasn't worth since I had to use a power pack, hover legs, and the lightest shittiest body and arms.
>>320825092
Kinect tanked that game, though. That piece of shit just doesn't work as intended unless you have perfect conditions and Kinect programmers whispering into your ear how to do motions accurately. Damn shame because I loved Steel Battalion.
About the Front Mission series, I disagree with most here - I think that both 2 and 5 are the best of the series, and 3 is worst than them. Maybe it's because 3 was the first one most people played, but if you look into the other entries of the series, you'll see it dumbed down almost everything. The maps are unbelievably small, like 4 vs 8 all the time. Even in FM1, you could get battles of 8 vs 20, and in FM2, you can get as many as 30 enemies on a single map.
FM1 - Missile spam the game. Everything is kinda unbalanced, but missiles take the cake.
FM2 - Get the Greatest Hits edition, it has an option to skip battles. Huge maps, huge battles, and the combat system is at its best here.
FM3 - still good, but everything was pretty much dumbed down from other entries. i kinda understand not being able to fit 40+ 3D mechs into a single map, though (in FM2 they're still sprites, at least on the map).
FM4 - Dumbed everything down, except it increased enemy count. That fucking story.
FM5 - A good compromise between FM2 and FM3. The one I played the most, because squad battles are awesome.
>>320821285
>Why did the series die off such a horrible death?
It didn't. You might not be aware but 5 finished the series in a pretty damn outstanding way. It got five core games and spin-offs, which is more than enough for me. Ignore Evolved, though.
>>320825473
>muh enemy counts
>>320825092
The kinect controls were horrible. I tried to play is for a good 8 hours before completely giving up. The only game that made me as mad as this was Megaman X7, because that had ungodly slowdowns during boss battles.
>>320825320
Yeah. I just thought it would be funny to make since I believe it was the most auto cannon you could equip at the time.
>evolved
what were they thinking
>>320825473
It's almost like you don't care about the story which was by far the best in 3. Not to mention two scenarios each about 30 hours long.
>>320825675
It was fun until they ruined the heat. (granted it fixed PCC totin fuckheads).
Shame that PGI is one of the most incompetent developers out there.
>>320825737
Gotta get em CoD monies. Weird that they did not opt for real life setting with Wanzers just entering service and getting their shit kicked in by conventional warmachines.
>>320825641
I have other gripes with this game, the enemy count isn't even the biggest one. I don't really like the characters and their story arcs, and for the lack of a better word, they're a walking anime cliche. In the other entries, you play as battle-hardened soldiers and mercenaries that have trouble with a well-stationed garrison (like the Hell' Wall mission in FM1), while in FM3, you get those right-out-of-high-school people that can beat elite squads 10 missions in.
Well, at least it's not getting spammed with missiles while descending a mountain, like in FM1. You could get peltered with as much as 12 missiles attacks in a single turn.
>>320820128
> Evolved killed front mission
>>320825737
It's not the first action spin off Front Mission had. Hell, it's not even a horrible GAME. They just fucked up Front Mission and everything they established before without straight up rebooting it.
>MUH EDGE
>>320825675
For sure.
Sorta related, I used to run Shadow Hawk with 3 AC2s or 1 AC20 and it was pretty fun.
Taken I couldn't really see shit with the AC2s firing since they're right next to the cockpit.
Evolved is literally the Front Mission equivalent of Ace Combat Assault Horizon, except worse.
>>320820918
playing it on vita right now
>>320825746
Did you play FM2? And either way, FM4 and 5 suffer from doing the "disconnected story" too much. I'll agree FM3 has one of the better stories (if you excuse the shit characters), but not the best.
>>320826008
Not the same guy, but FM5 only feels that way because it brings the entire franchise together for a final goodbye.
>>320825737
>tfw the most amazing FM5 is nip only on console that is no longer existing and shit like evolved is on PC and current gens.
MWO is proof that mechs are a dumb idea even when you don't factor in cost of construction and maintenance.

>>320826104
Every combat vehicle piloted by a human being has risks. It's not like jets aren't extremely deadly if mishandled or damaged in any way. Mecha and mechs are rule of cool with variable amounts of realistic logic applied depending on if the series wants to have a willing sense of disbelief or not.
>>320825737
>Double Helix
Not very surprising.
>>320826148
>There's a translation patch for FM5.

Beside, amazing game like FM5 should have been available with eng subs in EU and US, the only reason this isnt so is because of jap being dicks to bakagajins.

In one path he is the personification of fury. A champion of Khorne without equal.
In the other one, he's a competent pilot who is actually a human instead of a daemon of pure rage.

Holy shit yes, I must've spent more hours on this than any other single game. I can't believe more games dont have an online system like this.
I remember reading gameFAQ forums about this before I bought it so I had a squad to join where I knew people would help, eventually left and started one for my friends and almost every random guy who stuck around would play other games with us/ sit in squad lobby chatting shit (before the days of xbox live parties and the only other option was private chats)
Loved the COMBAS system in it but xbox live party chat ruined it and made commanders pretty useless.
You could join squads and greif their squad chat and if you sat in the garage you couldn't be removed from the squad.
so many good times, M,A,V is fun but wont do the online as well.

Maps on PS2 are too small compared to Phantom Crash

Front Mission, Chrome Hounds, Mech Assault, Played a bit of armored core couldn't really figure it out but didn't really play past the fist few missions.
Wasn't sure if it was single or xbox live..
why are Armored Core 4 and 5 so shitty

Was this that Exteel game?

Yeah, it's still pretty rough. Cyber's working on an overhaul of all the fundamental stuff (UI, lobbies, AI, sound engine...) and it's looking really good.
It just takes for fucking ever.And once it's finished in 10 years there'll be like 100 people playing it for a month before it dies completely
Fuck, why can't From get their shit together and make Chromehounds 2 alreadyand not make it an Xbox exclusive this timeThen we just need players

I actually made my bootleg DVD of a translated Front Mission 5 so you can go in that direction.

Because souls sells better. Simple reason
>>320829084
yeah, I am planing to do that, too bad being yuropoor my choices is to play either on HDTV meaning game look like shit or playing 60Hz game on 50Hz PAL TV meaning game will look like my lifeblack and white with prevalence of darker colours
That said PC mustardrace is superior thing for that game, I tried to emulate and despite the blur and 40fps in battle, the game looked fucking delicious, crisp and sharp image with note of lighter blue colours with battle sounds tickling your palate trough inner ear.

UCHIKUDAKE NKIGHTS OF CHIDONIA
Why never ever?
It was canned?
>>320828886
They are good games on their own but certainly they are no AC games
>>320829808
The devs are busy with work/school.
Also, that's what inspired Sidonia.

i don't care desu as long as i can build retarded shit like pic related in it
i hate that you cant mirror parts though and most parts arent symmetrical
Front Mission 3 is honestly a disgrace to the series and only liked due to nostalgia. Pretty bad that it's somehow worse than the first game when FM2 was such a huge jump in quality.

>Pretty bad that it's somehow worse than the first game
First game was great tactically wise, 2D graphics were pretty much everything you knew and lowed about mechs of 90's.
It stands even now since mech designs of 90's were better than anything we had since then.
Story was complex and mature, when I metRoydin FM2, despite knowing why I hunt him I still remembered that fucking burning wanzer from FM1.
To add insult to the injury, Rocky was riding Raven at the time...
Combat arenas were surprisingly well done, it wasnt simple grid or few polygon mishmash.
Fucking cities and forests with vegetation and pools of water and destroyed buildings and cars.
Shit was climatic as fuck (that said visually wanzers were too blocky, they were improved in FM3 tho)
FM3 was simplified as fuck, web is fun and does a great job of world building but simple gameplay, smaller and simpler battle maps... its just a step back regardless how you look at it.
The only thing that improved were 3D models.
Story in FM3 is nothing particular but it has nice set of characters and does its own cool mood.
Its still a step back comparing to FM2, probably because it was aimed at western market, meaning wider audience, meaning same shit as always, we have to dumb it down so anyone will even look at it.

ayy you probably think playing quake 3 with Tank/strogg skin makes it a mecha game too?
Any games where the 4leggers walk and not just slide on the ground?
>>320833395
Chromehounds/MAV
>>320833395
Front Mission.
I remember a game is from PS2, I had demo somewhere, cant remember name but I remember 4 mechs, 4legged as well jumping on buildings or aircraft carrier or something.
Ringing any bells?
>>320833257
You get to skate around and fire shoulder-mounted rockets, sure it feels too fluid to be mech but it can be seen as mecha.
Besides, there's a lot Slave Zero does right: dystopian cyberpunk tokyo/china setting, urban battlegrounds, objects (even people) can be picked up & flung, scale.
Next you're gonna compare Zone of the Enders with Unreal Tournament. Since when is there much difference between each other when they're all about killing shit with guns?

I fucking miss this game so fucking much. I wish Konami would make an HD remaster with netplay for $20 on the PSN.
