Anyone know anything about this game?Anyone gonna buy it?
>>22568284It's Level 5, that means it's dog shit.They already tried to make it a multimedia franchise in Japan and every aspect of it has bombed.
>>22568302The hell is megaton musashi though?
>>22568284It has Mazinger Z, Getter Robo and Grendizerit should be an instant-buy for Nagai fans
THERE'S A RELEASE DATE?????
>>22568358Just Bing it, you lazy fuck
>>22568595>bing
>>22568284>Anyone gonna buy it?Only learned about it today. Will certainly buy, though probably wait till there is a sale.
>>22568284Will this continue the story past the show?
>>22568284I'm basically just buying it for the guest super robots. Too bad we don't get their pilots.
>>22569429Supposedly, yeah.
>>22568284I don't get it, is this a sequel that's being released in english despite the original being JP only, or a re-release that includes the original+new content? If it's the second I may be interested
>>22568302i liked fantasy life and lbx(although i have been waiting for lbx for years before it came out here)but they have a garbage release pattern. the fact that we never got the lbx sequel is pure bullshit
>>22569598>>22568284It's the complete game the starts from the beginning of the anime and continues past it.
>>22568377Apparently this version might be missing Grendizer, so just Mazinger Z, Getter, Combattler and Voltes. The website promises more in the future though.https://www.megaton-musashi.jp/wired/en/
>>22568284Is this a different game to the one that was being posted way back?Remember the response before to that being fairly negative.
>>22571819W is an "updated" version but it's fundamentally the same thing, still trash.
>>22571839What makes it so trash?Looks like a super robot gundam breaker / dynasty warriors from the footage I've seen.
>>22572634It's not trash, that anon is exaggerating.
>>22570057Maybe they're planning to put it in when Grendizer U airs for that synergy.
>>22568284So, I have a quick question about the bonus robot Yatabushi. If I'm reading it right, you lose the change to get this if you don't get the game before the end of May? Does Level 5 release exclusive content later on or is this something you need to get, or it's lost for good?
>>22579248There's a note on the website that says it could be available later through another method.
>>22579251That's good then I can wait to buy it then, I've been had before when it comes to pre order content that never gets rereleased in the past.
>>22579251Yeah, like how SRW 30 had content you got for preordering but showed up later, think as paid dlc.
>>22568284I will, with couple of friendsmegaton was great show and original game was quite decent - but left in japanthen due low sales sequel was remade into f2p title, still left in japannow this version basically ultimate game which covers whole anime and beyond anime plot.gameplay is basically good gundam breakeraka brawler - beat enemies and bossses on stage, get parts, customize, repeat.>>22568406literally on op screen
>instead of just using the scenes from the anime for the game they made completely different higher quality scenesWhat a weird use of resources
9 days remain
>l5lollmao even
Why does Level 5 keep trying? Everything they've ever done has been an embarrassing flop.
I thought the game already came out on Switch?
>>22582148>>22583400Why you gotta be like that?
>>22583679It was og release, which hardly anyone played, it was jp only.this is basically 3 games in one
From the gameplay footage I've seen it's basically LBX but scaled up? I enjoyed LBX. It didn't quite scratch the Custom Robo itch, but it was still a fairly decent game.
Played the original and most of X (didn't play the update after anime S2 ended).I like the game a lot and wish more people played it. I hope they don't totally fuck up the English translation or PC port and it's good.I don't like that the MTX and battle pass from X are still in, but whatever, it doesn't ruin the game. Probably going to damage its public opinion in the west though.
So how in depth are the customizations and options, at least as they were in the P2P version? Just this upgrade gives +5 to boost, or are you mixing and matching weapons or abilities/skills/biscuits whatever from different suits and pilots?
>>22568284is it fun solo? broke right now so i'm gonna pirate it
Everything about it seems at least decent. Which is more than what I can say for most gundam games being put out now.
>>22581706The second version is obviously censored, removing sexual tension aspect entirely.
>>22588697Looks like Gundam Breaker 4 will make it obsolete instantly.
>>22588786Megaton seems to be better game overall desuand I'm someone who was generally pleased with GB4But even first Musashi release already was better in sheer control aspect and gameplay aspect than GB4still either way musashi releases in a week while GB4 eventually
>>22568302their games are allright, especially for grinding/collecting freaks. I actually dig AGE and Inazuma (the games).
>>22588839There's definitely going to be a lot of it. Since they are adding another tier of rarity and another form of player rank that you level up.
>>22588697Gameplay-wise this looks like C21/Cosmic Break + Gotcha Force, and done well at thatDoesn't look like it'll scratch the mecha itch for me, though
>>22583734Its LBX in terms of combat but with a shit ton more Attack Functions and a bit of MonHun esque loot grind/escalationI'd post the Skill Upgrade Chart but I don't know if I could get a decent shot of it.
>>22568284Nah. Those robot designs aren't doing it for me.
They finally revealed what is actually in the new game>New Story mode with new protagonist>New tier of loot rarity "Relic Legendary">New leveling system "Megaton Rank" unlocked by hitting level 70 and completing the story. Leveling this rank a new difficulty of missions>new upgrade system "Neural Board" unlocked with Megaton Rank>Weapons now have proficiency and level up as you use them>High rank pvp changed from 3v3 to 2v2 and pvp now contains super weapons>Challenge missions that get harder the more you do them and have a leaderboard
>>22589402Sounds good aside from the character designs being ugly as fuck.
>>22589491Shit taste.
>>22589402The new rarity is actually 3 different rarities. Legendary 2 (Orange+Blue), Iconic Legendary 2 (Yellow+purple), and Relic Legendary (Red).
>>22588697Looks a lot like that old game Cosmic Break.
>removed all the cash shop experience and drop rate boosters and replaced them with boosters you earn ingame f2p cant even transfer over the boosters they still have>but you can give them money to have the ugly yokai watch cat yelling at you
>>22589829>I can have Korone as my navigatorOh fuck yeah
>>22589829Kind of odd in spite of the guest robots they didn't bother with guest pilots, especially since they seem to be just 2d art.
>>22591190Is Korone even a mechafag though? Are any of the holos? At most I know Marine has sung a bunch of old 80s anime OPs.
>>22591233>sung a bunch of old 80s anime OPsThat doesn't mean he actually watched the shows.
>>22591211Guest characters need voice actors. Guest robots just need some of the music to play when you start a mission while using the complete robot.
>>22589829Damn, no Ota-Cross from LBX?
>>22591233>>22591236Ina and Irys are Gundam fans last I checked.
>do you want to use the free weirdly horny ai navigator girl>or fucking jibanyan
Will it work on Steam Deck?
Any reason to pick this up on playstation instead of steam? Like multiplayer-only reward cause I know PC will be flooded with hackers
>>22592824The game has crossplay and cross-saveAll versions will be filled with hackers if PC has a wide community of them
>>22592827Well fuck. If any anons do have early access with the deluxe edition tomorrow, please report back if you can disable crossplay.
>>22592827>All versions will be filled with hackers if PC has a wide community of themPC is almost always filled with hackers. It's inevitable.
>$50
I'm hesitant of any Level 5 translation after Snack World named the main multiplayer hub the Covfefe Cafe, but I've also wanted to play MM ever since its Japanese release. Hope the Switch version doesn't run like shit since this seems like a great game to play in bed.
>>22592434I'll tell you when it releases, I'll be testing that pretty quick
>5 animated scenes a bunch of ingame scenes and running around the hub city so it's like a half hour from the tutorial to the first real missionThey weren't kidding when they said the game has the same full story as the anime. They could have easily just put it all in a menu like armored core but instead they went all in on a town with a day night cycle and shops that sell you parts.
So, some people have already said it's like LBX/Danball Senki. How far does the customization go? Can I swap arms and such?
It's just like my G Gundamhttps://youtu.be/_22d833cxto?si=1fahzHMdLQ03Ksi4>>22593471Left Arm, Right Arm, Body, Legs, 3 melee weapons, 3 ranged, pilot abilities and the mech's operating system
>>22593471Every piece of gear can have mod slots for stats boosts. I just unlocked the motherboard laboratory which a 360 item skill tree to get chips for your motherboard which is where you get special attacks and stat boosts like making your melee dash attack do 350% more damage or getting a Sniper CPU where you do 400% more ranged damage to an untouched enemy or doing 300% more damage when hitting enemies from behind or doing 240% more damage in the air while reducing the cost to airboost.According to the database menu there's 54 robots that are all 6 parts, 214 weapons, 97 special attacks, and 140 enemies.Pretty sure pilots have their own skill trees that will open up later then they added weapon proficiency and another new skill tree in this version
Any anons with the game know if the Holo decals are in already?Debating following this guide for free stuffs from the f2p game but it looks like I'd have to deal with JP account bullshithttps://medium.com/@DartsEnthusiast/guide-get-these-items-for-free-in-megaton-musashi-x-and-transfer-them-to-wired-57830b01fc27
>>22593471Left and Right Arms, Body and Legs are separate. Heads are typically associated with the core body piece and legs are one unit. You can have 6 different weapons (3 melee, 3 ranged) and four standard super moves (essentially the face buttons once you hold down a trigger) and one Kabuki Function (basically a big ass cinematic super; you get Muramasa as part of the story by default during the end of "season 1")There's the huge ass motherboard skill tree as well that also includes the standard stat bonuses, new super moves and Kabuki Functions. There's also the Pilot Skill tree as well; it's nothing too fancy. It's just bonuses if you use the right weapons with the right characters in addition to non-weapon bonuses too.You can also craft parts with the general materials you get as well or upgrade parts you like as well. I only really bothered with upgrading parts I like and didn't really craft anything. There's a 'recycling system' where you toss parts and weapons you don't want anymore into a zone and it'll increase your chances of getting high level drops for that specific category. So say you want a high-rarity body, you can toss a whole bunch of junk body parts in the recycling and it'll bump up your chances of getting high level parts from mission drops. That's all in addition to the standard paint/decal customization too.

>>22593533They give you the yokai watch and hololive decals right when you start the game. All the droprate boosters from X dont carry over to Wired so there's not much point doing the codes.
>>22593589So it's only currency then? What's about the 2 Musashi skins "Ouga" and "Yamato"?
>incredibly gay man in charge of weapons development turns a little dog robot into literal ai slut holograms>also they can navigate
>>22593589Does it have painting anywhere near as detailed as AC?
I didn't really comprehend how much of a loot game this actually is until my ai bitch yelled at me to go find the Kargo that appeared before it could run away and it was a fucking golden treasure chest with legs and killing it dropped a bunch of legendaries
Test
>>22593533Follow this and don't look like the English version of Wired has save transfer like Cross did with the original. So that was a waste of an hour downloading CrossAlso, cross save is apparently only available with Epic Game PC version? Guess they'll patch Steam in later
Is it fun?
>>22594496It starts out really slow and easy because you just vaporize everything in 5 seconds but gets a lot better when enemies can start to take hits and get more aggressive
Thanks anons, been wanting proper details on this even before they pushed it back. Hope it's fun for all of us!
I'm hype to play with people.I hope it sells well!Will we be able to post lobbies?How's multiplayer work?
>>22593227The US branch of Level-5 that did Snack World (Level-5 abby) got shut down a few years ago.
>>22594496No
>>22591233She likes Braiger, that's about it.
>>22594771>She likes BraigerBased
I know nothing about this game. Is it like monster hunter where you farm bosses in a map for their loot?
>>22594816Every mission has a specific pool of loot and you can filter missions by specific items you are looking for. Like if you want Combattler pieces the side mission where you unlock it will drop a shitload of pieces for it if you keep replaying it and even if you are doing a really low level mission there is a chance that gear will drop at your level.
https://twitter.com/gsc_mechasmile/status/1782605350685872398
>>22583734I loved Custom Robo Arena and LBX. They both pull off the saturday morning toy anime vibe perfectly. Are there any more /m/ games that do this, with the tournament arcs and power of friendship stuff? I tried looking into Medarot but they're all either shit or Japanese only.
>>22595221Cute girl.
>>22595223Indeed
Looks like that SD Gundam game that was recently released. Picked up
>>22592832I can confirm that crossplay can be disabled
>>22595221check out PUNIHI LOADER 2
>they listened to the 5 people that complained about the western version not having the save transfer from X to Wired and are patching it inBetween this and Inazuma Eleven they are really good at listening to feedback now
>>22595221My broGundam Breaker 3 probably nails it best out of GBsBoth Steambots Chronicles gamesBoth Unitron gamesAC Formula Front does it the FromSoftware wayGotta mention Phantom Crash and SLAI as wellHonorary mention to MMBN4 but you probably already know about it
>>22595221Also, Busou Shinki
>>22595221I should really get back to Custom Robo Arena one of these days. I played up to when you join the police then just dropped it for some reason.
So this has crossplay? So If I get it on steam I'll still be able to play with you even if you all have it ps5 and switch?
>>22594536So is it worth the 50 dollary doos? I LOVE LBX if that means anything. How long is the og andd X anyway?
>>22596057The first game was like 8 hours if you only did the story and skipped all the side missions and collectables scattered around the giant town hub. X doubled the story added more loot rarities and side missions. Wired is more story with 3 more loot rarities more side missions and a skill tree that only opens up when you beat the story. You can easily get 100+ hours out of it
>>22596072>You can easily get 100+ hours out of itThat's all i needed to hear.Also with the sidquests, would you clock in atleast 40ish hours or is it a "short" game in general?
>>22596072Are those side missions timed/missable, anon? A friend of mine would probably skip some to get through the story faster so we can co-op stuff, and I don't want him to miss out since I'm usually the one helping him find the good stuff in games.
>>22596075Sidequests in town are just little things with npcs and completing them can open up rooms with collectables like helping a kid get a bandaid opens the nurses office in the school so they should always be around. Side missions are just a big list in a menu.Getting certain collectables opens up side events that give characters more story like finding out one of the characters that is part of the command bridge is in a band
>>22595221gotcha force for the gamecube. its crazy that capcom didnt make new versions for the switch or at least a port of the original
So how bad is the pay-to-not-wait stuff in this game? Or has all that been wiped out from OG and X?
>>22596171It's all wiped in Wired so it's significantly less grindy
>>22596171All the exp boosters and shit that they were selling in X is gone and now you can buy boosters with currency you earn ingame and they buffed base droprates. There's a battlepass but it's not a fomo battlepass with special rewards like it was in X it just gives some extra materials and resets when it's over. The deluxe edition permanently gives you the premium part of the pass which gives more of the materials.
Why did ps5 get it early damnit?Why can't steam pre load but switch can?I WANNA PLAY ALREADYMEGATONMEGATON
>>22596475I wonder if it has something to do with this being the first time Level-5 has self published on Steam. Maybe they just don't know what they're doing.
>>22596485It hasn't just been level 5 thoughI've yet to see a japanese game let me preload on steam
>>22596739Monhun.
>>22596772Capcom isn't real until megaman Legends 3 is real
>giving it a western release>so they made the opening theme a dubbed version of the anime openinghttps://files.catbox.moe/ajgkcn.mp4kinda soul
>>22596838Did they dub the voice acting or just the opening?Still prefer the JP opening but it's soulful
>>22596101Oh, those seem fast. Thanks anon!
>>22596850Only the opening the rest is subbed.
>>22589402>>22589829Does the player get to make a blank self insert pilot character as or are the premade character(s) the only choice?
>>22596072>You can easily get 100+ hours out of itHow much of it is mindless grind? I'm playing through SD Gundam Battle Alliance and the grind for the Mobile Suits feels like some sort of gacha hell. It's already getting tiresome despite me using 100% drop rate, movement speed and one hit kill cheats for that, I can't imagine how anyone can grind it out the proper way. Playing through the story itself is fairly fun though.
>>22596953You pick characters to play as and end up with like 16 options at the end. But the skills they unlock can be used on any character so you just pick the one you like and grab skills from other characters to equip
Are these rogues unlockable normally?
>>22597491No they are basically just cosmetics since they don't have collection log slots and you can't dismantle them. Delta is just a recolor of the tutorial robot you can unlock with a big ugly jetpack attached
>Original game flopped in B2P>X flopped in F2P>New edition is B2P again>Next to zero marketingIs Level-5 retarded or is this some kind of hail mary play for a bad game?
>>22597514Thanks. Ill just get the normal edition than.
>>22597516It's a good game released at the worst time and now they want to make their money back by adding more content and removing the F2P bullshit
CALM THE FUCK DOWN LEVEL5
>>22597701It's just all the extra dlc they were selling in X. Like all the rogue colors were the big battlepass rewards previously.
>50 bucksOkay, you guys enjoy the game.
>>22597701Is there anything to unlock through gameplay still?
Is EAC something you can just ignore?
>>22597729Yeah. It's been around for like 20ish years at this point and usually gets circumvented within days. It's one of those ebil kernel level anti-cheats if that scares you.
>>22597729It's kernel level but relatively benign compared to other kernel level anticheats, there's a solid chance you've already played a game with it like AC6 or Elden Ring.
How's the PC port?
>>22597734>>22597736Thanks. I haven't installed any game with EAC before. I played Elden Ring on PS4.
>>22597742It only checks on startup. Kernel level access is still access but atleast it is temporary.
>>22597742As long as it's not capcom's retarded drm you'll likely be fine
>here's your love interest bro
>>22597752Would.
>>22597752Very much would.
No denuvo so where are the clean files?
>>22597516>Is Level-5 retardedI think you already know the answer to this one
>>22597752Vast improvement. Now I actually look forward to playing the game. Can you romance her in that form or is she forever stuck in the generic animay girl form after that?
>Buy game on Steam>Open game>Epic launcher opens????
>>22597774Watch the show.
>>22568284Honestly had no idea it was getting a global release. A happy surprise.Downloading it now.
>>22597784They are using epic for all their crossplay and cross save stuff since your only options are epic, microsoft, and amazon.
>>22592434I hope so, currently downloading it. I hate sitting at my desk after work and streaming always looks and feels like ass to me.
>>22597784Was just gonna ask about that
playing the tutorial, the gameplay seems really fluid. I'm liking it so far
>>22597816does it run well on pc?
>>22597818>>22597803I'm on Steam Deck. So far it runs perfectly. Will post if I run into any problems.
I bought
>>22597818It runs at 120FPS on my 3070 including in battle. Very smooth, no problems so far.
>>22597822Question. Does it support gyro controls?
>>22597843I didn't check the options, but if it does then it isn't on by default.
Is this version an online only game or can it be played offline?
>>22597889Offline. It has a singleplayer campaign.
https://twitter.com/L5_musashi_EN/status/1783313837149848041>Official Twitter account posts codes for in-game items>CY8FS69CF7>Game has one of those terrible chat filters>"69" is a banned word>Can't redeem official code because of thisOh I am laffin
>>22597802>>22597811Do you also need to install Epic related software for this or does it come with the game on Steam?
>>22597918It autoinstalls it is what people are saying.
>no torrent for the gameI wanna try it out before I buy it.
>>22597934It's only been out for a few hours, calm down
Buying it on the switch so I can grind while on bed
>>22597937>not even a forum post on cs.rinIs so over mechabros
>>22597903https://twitter.com/musashi_project/status/1783294186701365383Japan got a different code, it works on the English version.>やぽさねさざみのみと
>>22597945same, that was the first place I looked too...
>>22597945Why not buy the game and refund it if you don't like it?
How far in until co op online play is unlocked?
>>22597996Like two hours in (fancy that, Steam). At the start you only have three level 3 missions for multiplayer until you do more story.
Anyone test out crossplay yet?
>>22597789no.
I hope it sells well somehow
>>22598073We'll see how this shakes out with the weekend.
Ah yes the love triangle, i sure hope she stays relevant. Sure would be funny if they just write her away with stupid shit like memory wipe right?
So how's the controls and multiplayer? Compared to, say Granblue Relink, cause I see it's kinda similar in gameplay loop.
So is this the same story as the anime?
>>22598084Yes but with side content for more character development and it goes past season 2 into a new plot
>>22598089Does this supplant the anime entirely then? Seems like a weird way to handle it
>>22598092The story even continues beyond the anime.The anime was just a marketing tool for the game.
>>22598093standard level 5
>>22598093I wonder where they even got the money for anime when their games are flopping left and right
>>22598098merch, prolly. like I can only imagine based on how popular Jibanyan is/was.
>>22598098from their PASSION
>>22598098Yokai Watch money. I shit you not.
>>22598098Level 5 made pokemon levels of money thanks to inazuma eleven and yokai watch but they squandered a lot of the money trying to push multimedia projects that all flopped. Megaton Musashi seems to be one of them.
>>22598167Until nowTHIS TIME MECHA FANS WILL UNITE TO SUPPORT THIS GAME
Aw yeah now we're talkin'
>>22598173>THIS TIME MECHA FANS WILL UNITE TO SUPPORT THIS GAMEI doubt it. Noone bought LBX when it came out so we never got W.
>>22598178That's not very optimistic of you...Mecha fans have changed right?SRW30 and AC6 sold like crazy and made it high up on steam charts even!
Hes in the game btw>>22598213>Mecha fans have changed right?No. We're just older in a dying genre.
Wait what the hell? Is this actually fully voiced? Even the random side NPCs speak their lines.
>>22598098They made a lot of money before their flops. It was literally hit after hit after hit. So much so that despite all the later failures, they still have a massive warchest.
Love me some Getter Rays
So when are we gonna start posting lobbies? I've heard the story is long so is everyone gonna only co op after finishing it?
>>22598285I will join once anons post.
>>22598255They really didn't half ass town. There are a shitload of unique npcs.
>>22598176is voltes v dlc?
>>22598309Nope in the main gameThe dlc is all cosmetic
>>22598309Not DLC, included with the game. You unlock it via a level 5 story mission.
>>22598309>>22598315Neat. well I guess my deck needs a new game anyways
congrats on release, have an old fanartlooking forward playing it when I'll get the chance
>>22597899What's with all the effort put into cross-play then? Is there multiplayer as well or does it have something like Dragon's Dogma 2's pawns in it?
>>22598437It's for coop and vs play.
>>22597752PUPPY!
>>22591420Jibanyan, easily.
How's performance on the Switch version? I prefer to play grindy games like this on a handheld instead of a console.
>>22598502About what you expect, fairly consistent 30, drops a bit during intense moments but quickly recovers.This series started on switch so you should be fine especially if you play on switch often enough.There's plenty of gameplay out on the older switch version so still go watch and see regardless, also you'll need nintendo online to play online co op or pvp.Also it does support crossplay between all versions
>>22598508Cool. If it's about average for a Switch game then I should be fine. I'll look at some old gameplay before I bite the bullet, but I'll probably set up the download before I go in to work today.
Can you increase the rank of your parts, or do you really have to farm legendaries again once you get to a higher player rank?
online is fun brosit's like yokai watch Blasters
>>22598570I and all my bros are in a middle of work weekreeee
>>22598523You can level up gear once you hit chapter 10 with iconic legendaries being able to be raised 10 levels higher than your current rank. But the new endgame has three new rarity types so you can't keep them forever.
>>22598591So I shouldn't care too much about ranks and rarities until I hit endgame? Is there a way change the appearance of your mech without changing the parts? Like layered armor in monster hunter.
>>22598598You'll get tons of legendary gear as you progress since they buffed drop rates. As you have the robot parts you want to use visually in your inventory you can layer it over other parts.
why does he hold the shield upside down
>>22598763More like Idiotji
How quick after starting playing you can get to coop?
Goddamn those story segments are long. Does it get any better later into the game or will it be always be a collection of 5 minute missions separated by 20 minutes of story?
>>22598816After the 2nd mission the co-op optioned, although I haven't tested it.
>>22598887that's good to hear, thank you anon
>>22598836Yeah between the long story segments and the garbage music I'm wondering if I should continue or refund.
>Garbage musichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb1sNymcM00
>>22598951gonna have to agree with the other dude. I hate this cringe rap shit
>>22598951>KENKA RockWhich part of it is rock, exactly? It's just nu metal without the metal part. Lotus Juice is the only rap crap that I'm willing to qualify as listenable to anyway, maybe aside from that one track from the end of Gurren Lagann where they add a whole symphonic orchestra with an opera singer to back up the hip hopping.
Anyone know if there's a way to adjust the field of view? Playing on PC and it feels like I'm so zoomed in I'm getting a headache.
rock solid 60 fps on switch, damn and these fucking skills and cockpit view are SOULFULL AS FUCK. Combat wise it's much better than Breaker 4 beta.
do these characters ever shut the fuck up? I'm over an hour into the game and still haven't done anything but the tutorial battle which was like 3 minutes. Holy fuck shut up
>>22599075It took about an hour for me to get to the first real mission. I was actually caught off guard when gameplay stopped mid mission so they could talk even more. Still having fun.
>>22599039Sorry I guess it should be called KENKA progressive rap nu softmetal backhop swingout?
>>22599060>rock solid 60 fps on switchis it really 60fps, or are you one of those people that can't tell the difference?
>>22599103>KENKA progressive rap nu softmetal backhop swingoutOh I get it, does KENKA mean shit in Japanese?
Mixing the fucking alien parts with rogues is some funny shit.
Has anyone tried CreamAPI yet? All the online stuff has me worried about potential bans
>try colleseum>the steam team won>console babbies got rektIm sure everyone on my team were using controllers though.
>>22599293Why yes. Were you the one that carried my ass?
Did I manage to somehow softlock myself? This objective keeps leading me back to the 2nd floor of the school but nothing happens there. Maybe I'm retarded?
>>22599295Pleasure to meet yougood game, colleseum is kinda funI expected fisher price gundam VS
>>22599301Yeah i enjoyed it. I was having trouble telling the difference between friend and foe since nearly everyone was using default musashi. I shouldve used lockon honestly.
>>22599103Metal has no place on that list though.
>>22599309Yea, basically lockon + ranged attacks + pickups kinda helped a lot, as well as using stage parts as cover. I still confusing controls, didn't expect to win. And regen super power or whatever it is called.People prolly will figure out later how it plays and it won't be as easy as it was now, maybe my gundam breaker muscle memory helped a little too.It's 4AM here, I should get some sleep. Have a good time with the game!
>>22599314I was running for the pickups but oh man i felt bad everytime since im leaving you guys to die. Thats why the second half I just gave up trying to get them since I was panicking.
>>22599319No worries, sorry that I mentioned your handle, I'll delete that post.Everyone is clueless on first day of the game, and we also were. Most importantly all 3 of us had funscrew those noobs on the other side with their fancy custom suitsmass produced musashi for the win
>>22599324>No worries, sorry that I mentioned your handle, I'll delete that post.I mean I dont really mind it is whatever since I did that in /v/ before and noone did shit outside friending each other. Shit's cool. And yeah those other 2 fags had ranked stuff. What drops did you get in the end anyway?
>>22599299I've tried stuff like going into a mission to try and break the softlock (as well as obvious stuff like restarting the game). Nothing has helped. Is my save file fucked?
>>22599327When does that event happen? Im investigating the school right now so i'll try to speed it up to see whats up.
>>22599331Right after the scene where the girl hits on the teacher. That scene played twice for me, back to back, so I think that could be related to my situation here.
>>22599333Where the red girl hits on the teach and martial artist calls her a bitch?
>>22599336Yup.
>>22599326Nothing too new, mostly what solo drops. Didn't pay any attention cause tired as fuck>I mean I dont really mind it is whatever since I did that in /v/ before and noone did shit outside friending each other. Shit's coolGood to know, imagine my surprise when I turn out the game after battle and see someone posted same results I had right now in thread, haha.So I wanted to check, but pointing someone's handle may be considered rude. I just braindead right now so I didn't think that far ahead.I doubt I'll play online coliseum much anyway, just wanted to check it out. mostly will be doing solo or coop.Anyway, I'm out.
>>22599338>turn outturn off, fuckI need sleep
>>22599337Aw fuck Im sorry than since I passed that part. You should ask the steam discussion since they would probably be more help. I can only hope you had an earlier save.>>22599338Hope to see you again in coop or whatever. I wasnt planning on pvping much anyway since it brings out the worst in everyone.
>>22599347What happened past that part for you? Did it throw you into another scene? Or was there an objective up there? But yeah, might just have to make a steam discussion post.
>>22599350I maybe misremembering since I started pvping right after but it was a series of cutscenes afterwards.
>>22599355Shit. Sounds like a real softlock then. No save backup, so I'll just have to speedrun back to where I was. No big deal, shouldn't take more than an hour if I skip cutscenes.
>>22599357Sorry to hear that than. Luckily it was just a ton of cutscenes and like a few battles inbetween the start to chapter 4.
Is it worth buying for just offline stuff?Can you use AI in missions like GB3 or are you just solo?
>>22599359Already basically back to where I was. Not that big of a detour.Less luck when it came to mission drops though, oh well
>>22599397>Only been half an hrThat was faster than expected
Can you paint your mech? Just got to my first cutomization screen and I couldn't find anything about it on Rogue Appearance menu.
>>22599414Yes you unlock it later.
What's the /m/erdict?
>>22599425Hard to say when there's too many cutscenes.
>>22599425Pros:Great getter style crazy storyIt's gundam breaker 3 with super robots at the cost of a bit less customization depthSpecials feel great to use and combo withUnits feel responsive as fuckLots to playstyle customization and eventual cosmetic customizationGETTER, MAZINGER, COMBATTLER V, AND VOLTEZ V ARE IN SO YOU CAN PLAY AS THE LADS IN A REAL TIME GAME AND SPAM SPECIALSHas a neat PVP mode too but I don't think enough people will play to keep it fun. Cons:Going through the singleplayer only Story mode is mandatory to unlock the bulk of the game (co op missions) and features so if you're not liking the story it's gonna be a bit of a trudge to mash through it before playing the real gameplay loop (clearing a large variety of missions like EDF grinding up your mech) with everyoneStory missions are gonna be mostly pretty easy unless you really try to not upgrade your mechaOverall8/10Buy it now to support more original mecha games with super robots and super robot crossoversOr buy it later when it eventually goes on sale for like $15-$20 as a niche little mecha gemThe game has zero marketing so us talking about it is basically all it has.
>part 2 of the story gives you selectable difficulty from the startThank god no more 1 shotting bosses
i think it's better to speedrun the first part because it's really nothing burger it's like a tutorial for everything
how does it play with kbm?
>open steam page>3rd party DRM>full price>DLC list that doesn't fit on monitor>mfw>close steam page
>>22599641>3rd party drmFair, should buy on switch or ps5 to dodge if that matters to you>DLCjust like EDF it's all cosmetic (though EDF does have 2 mission packs that matter while none of this game's dlc's matter)
>>22599641Yup all valid complaints. I almost dodnt buy it because of that.
>>22599663>>22599676You go I mean guys should buy it harder, it doesn't feel too good.
>>22599641>>3rd party DRMTo be fair, that's only because Valve makes devs list EAC as DRM because they don't (yet) have an option to specify 3rd party ACs. It's not even the super invasive variety of EAC, it's the free tier (and also has Linux support enabled)Your other points are valid though, and made me hesitant initially. Apparently they're vestiges of the F2P nature of the previous game.
>>22599592just started and only got to the part where you can replay the "tutorial" battle, still can't decide between kbm and controllerkbm seems to have extra controls - you can cycle melee/ranged weapons with a keypress instead of opening the weapon wheel, and you can activate special moves immediately by hitting a key directly instead of opening the tech wheelhowever, I can't seem to rebind running from the default CTRLthe mouse sensitivity scale isn't fine enough for me - goes from 1 to 10, but 1 is too slow for me and 2 is faster than I like but I think I can live with itsensitivity aside, mouse aiming feels okay when entering "Aim" mode, I'll obviously have to play the game more to see if fine/precise aiming is required as there is a Lock-On system
>>22599683The game has 0 marketing man I'm just happy it's being positively reviewed by the ones buying it.I didn't even know this IP existed until this month and I think I'm personally responsible for most online discussions on it because I'm OP This might be one of the most underdog mecha game launches I've ever seen
>>22599724I'm pleasantly surprised it was released at all. It seemed pretty hard set for a "not leaving the country, not leaving the console" type thing.
>>22599735Should have stayed that way.
>>22599663The only DLC that matters for this game (and therefore should be free) is Jibanyan navigator.
>>22599425Fun but way too much story scenes to slog throughAlso, some of these coliseum PC mf gotta be cheating with the skill spam
>>22599753My first pvp win was me hopping like a faggot spamming ranged attacks while enemies fought my allies and couldnt react to me I got MVP I felt bad
>>22599771So you're the asshole.
is the steam version region locked?
>>22599983No, but it seems to ignore regional pricing.
>>22599983My friend played with some nips yesterday, dunno if they're just western X players though.
>>22599989>>22599988debating wether to get it for steam or switch. I still get co op randos in dxm for switch but steam is dead allround
>>22594138Save transfer is working on English version now. It deletes your current save in the 1st slot though. Worth it if you're not too far in.
>>22600002There's crossplay but you don't get the option to exclude PC players.
>>22599771Hey at least you play fairI also pull the same trick cause everyone else all unga bunga
So how substantial is the battle pass? How much grinding does it alleviate?
>>22599390yea, it's mostly singleplayer game, online is for replaying stages and grinding, so far at least
Do we know if this is a finished product or will there be more later?
>>22600144It's a last-ditch effort to make money with their dead-in-the-water f2p game.Unless that Yokai Watch warchest is still full, I think Level-5 is giving up on this franchise.
>>22600144how much more you need jesus christ>>22600150oh fuck off, what is last ditch effort about entire new storyline after 2 anime seasonswhat is giving up when it's mutliplatform WW release with crossplay when original game was jp only and sequel got reworked into f2pman some people are just here to be little shits
>>22600154I know you want to keep your hope up but the 0 marketing effort said otherwise
>>22600156Then say it's last ditch effort to market or something. It seemed that you meant whole game period.Anon, I'm just happy we got a good gamesure, it'll suck balls if it'll do badly sales wise, but that's kinda beside the point since I already got great game to play. As far I'm concerned - this game existing and getting WW release is already a miracle after initial lack interest in Musashi, I expected it to be left in japan and never go beyond F2P.At this point Level 5 can go print money in their basement to fund their games for all I care.
>>22600159Even worse was when nearly 3 years ago it was pretty much canceled in the west. I was looking forward to it ever since the teaser so im goddamn glad we got danball senki 2.0 here.
>>22600174Don't exactly sure what you refer to, but prolly some anime bullshit thanks to crunchyroll or twitter dramas.Still, I personally don't see much fault in Level 5 execution process. Even marketing doesn't seem that bad to me. At least it works in classic sense. Maybe issue is classic type of marketing instead of paying youtubers and streamers.Just people for some reason never cared nor for game nor for the show, poor bastards
the mecha curse is still alive i see oh well i was hoping this wouldn't flop but looking forward to the sales
>>22600182I meant the trademark got cancelled/expired. It was around the time where level 5 just fucked off from the US.
>>22600182Even with classic marketing, they didn't even bother showing up for the Feb Nintendo Direct. It was such a low bar to clear that even Gundam Breaker 4 did
>>22597843>>22597861I'm using an 8bitdo ultimate (effectively a fancy switch procon) and got gyro to work through Steam's controller config. SteamInput is supported natively by this game, which is actually kind of bad because it means the devs screwed around with things and in the process they fucked up some of the controller config menus. At least they didn't screw it up bad enough to the point where you can't fix it like some other games I've played.To enable gyro, you have to go to Steam's Controller Configuration -> Edit Layout and then go to the gyro section because it doesn't have all the gyro options on the main screen for some reason. From there, I recommend going with Gyro to Mouse (Beta), setting the orientation to Player Space, and making the left trigger the gyro enable button. The other gyro as mouse option doesn't work for me and gyro as joystick is always kind of jank due to deadzones. No idea if it has native gyro support through DirectInput rather than SteamInput, but I didn't see any options for it in the settings so I assume it doesn't. Either way, it's controlling pretty well so far and having gyro on the aim button feels natural. Need to progress a bit to know for sure that gyro as mouse won't cause any problems though.For Steam Deck, it looks like they expect you to use the right trackpad for aiming since the default official layout already has that and a couple back buttons set up. Very nice choices for the back buttons too; they were what I was leaning toward using on my controller before I even looked at the Steam Deck controls. Weapon Wheel and Boost, for reference. Nice to see a dev make good use of extra buttons to refine their control scheme like that.
>>22600191ah I see, didn't knew that>>22600205okay that's fair. GB4 pure existence is about as weird as Musashi Wired, so I kinda didn't think too much about that.
>>22599724That's a /v/ refugee. Pretty much half the threads and posts on /v/ are like that now.
You can emulate the switch version too
So you guys gonna go one element or mix it up? I was enjoying the fire and power moves
>>22600329End goal is probably having a build for each, but during the story I've just been throwing together whatever seems cool and is powerful enough
>25 hours in>still less than 50% of the way through the story>never even seen a lance yetI just like grinding
>>22600391grinding is only bad when base gameplay loop sucks ballsin general grinding is unnoticeable to enjoyable in good games cause playing them is fun
>>22600391There are lances in the game?
I really do wonder what they’re honestly expecting for sales after barely doing anything to market it. It feels like more and more JP developers these days are depending on word of mouth to get them their sales over spending money on marketing, and a lot of the time that strategy doesn’t seem to pay off.
>>22600715How do you even market something nowadays?Pay extortion fees to youtubers?Outside of mentioned direct.
>>22600722I feel like mech fans are more likely to have ad blockers too. DD2 did pretty well by releasing the character creator, but obviously that doesn't work for most games.
>>22600722More like how do you even market mecha stuff? Ac has the FROM label attached to it so it has all the longtime ac fans playing ac for the first time.
>>22600722Influencers is usually pretty cost-effective if you have the cash for big streamersFor JP games targeting weeb, hire vtuber, which Level-5 already does. They love Hololive collabs.
>>22600751Post got fucked while submitting. Also meant to say Level5 just didn't get any collabs going for W on the English side
>>22600747It's sad the Level-5 could have have the same brandname power but they killed it with Yokai watch.
Are the bonuses stars from recycling old gear for each time I make stuff, or is it another system to work on and eventually it's a permanent bonus to possibly getting legendaries? Got a lot of spare gear and I need to start doing something with the weak stuff.
>>22600751>>22600756I honestly think it's probably more expensive than it seems when it goes to vtubers. considering they have entire companies and agencies. I'm too out of touch to know much about that however>>22600747praying and word of mouth at this point. people don't care about you unless you are gundam or transformer. outside special cases of nostalgia driven shows for specific countries>>22600744original first megaton musashi game had demo, didn't help.
Are there space battle in the game? The opening movie had space battles but I'm feeling like there isn't.
>>22600784Rumor has it that Hololive charge like 5-10k USD per hour streaming at minimumNot that crazily expensive for big company.
>episodes suddenly start getting leechersWe did it MEGATONbros.
>>22600797I feel like for Level 5 margins and sales expectations after two failed releases - that's quite a hefty sum for unclear result.After all they did promo before and maybe decided to not go for it cause it didn't actually attract paying people.Cause while people may learn about the game thru streamer, it doesn't really mean they'll buy it.They go for streamer for them, not for games.
>>22600849They do buy it if the streamer says to though even if they don't care to play itSo it's still a huge gain in sales to get streamers
>>22600878I wish there was some actual data to back that up.But I don't have neither free time nor energy to gather it.While blind fans exists, I feel like their impact is overstated. Since I recall way back when Wii U was just released and failing, some was finding various celebrity circlejerk and talking "look, they bought console and talk about it, means all their followers will buy it too!"Sure it was different time and such. But I can't help but to not treat any sort of celebrity promotion seriously. Even if it's more niche like this one.
>>22600888Idk man I saw every game sseth play have a x1000 increase in sales and players usually crashing their site if it was self run and he's nowhere near as big as vtubersI think it's real stuff with parasocial relationships and the like.I mean whether or not that can cancel out the inherent bias masses have against mecha is another discussion entirely though.
>>22600888While I'm not the anon you were talking with, I do feel the fact that they needed to encourage people to keep logging into the game means you are right and just copies sold can't be the end factor. They could have removed the daily logins and rewards for doing so, but went out of their way to ensure it was still in all the versions on different systems too. Not sure if it's for stockholders, since I would think stockholders would want more than $3.50 spent on marketing, but it has to be there for a reason.
>kirishima brought up papakatsulmao, is this actually not a kids show? I'm tempted to watch the anime now.
>>22600899eh, maybe to some point. crashing websites are nothing really mindblowing, when they are generally never visited by more than dozens of people suddenly get influx of thousands - crashing expected.his general reviews are for already successful titles, with very rare exception, and those exceptions are usually relatively cheap.And for example his positive review of EDF 5 in march 2023 didn't really change overall game review numbers or players in steam at that point, and EDF is very good title.I'd say via this you can say he did prolly very minimal impact. cause those who like EDF already play 5, those who dislike or not interested - watched hahahafunny man sseth video and done with it.I'd say such videos only affect sales if game is dirt cheap and for "meme" value. Not for good full priced video games
>>22600900I think daily log in is just left over from F2P game without much thinking about it.Like "let's just make ultimate version of a game with everything in it"
>>22600923They did leave a lot in there they probably didn't need to, I have to agree there. Maybe it was just an intern tweaking the settings for their servers and ensuring the reward shift monthly, and I'm overestimating the costs.
>>22600926well they have coop and VS maybe keeping servers running for daily log it is a side bonus or something.or to ease transition of F2P playerbase to Wired.dunno
>>22600912I have never been more confused about the target demographic for something before
>>22600961Did they really need to include the bottle
>colosseum already deadWe had a good run Musashibros
>>22600972Yes as it makes char happy
>>22599716thanks, I'll get it on sale then
>>22599243EAC games won't run with CreamAPI to begin with, you'd have to use a different DLC unlocker. If you're paranoid about bans you can always disable EAC and play offline, but I doubt they'd go through the trouble of having serverside checks for ownership just to ban people instead of saying "buy it, retard."
This game was sent to die.
>>22601374Dear God yesIt's up to us /m/en to appreciate this child level 5 decided to throw at us with no child supportWe are the only marketing it'll have, let's atleast get it hidden mecha cult hit status
>>22601037what is the point when japs who transferred their saves over from OG/X will just curbstomp everyone.
>>22601558Is that why my first matches were against invincible silver-rank middleweights
I don't know how to feel about the game. It's not bad but it's all over the place.
Why can't I use breast fire? I'm on the ground, standing perfectly still, I have enough meter, I can't use breast fire.
>>22601710Can you even use the guest skills without guest parts? I haven't tried it, but the skill description mentions the robot's name, Mazinger, so I just imagined it wouldn't work.
>>22601710It maybe one of those GOTTA HAVE ALL MAZINGER PARTS equip restriction.
>MC takes his shoes off when he enters a houseSOLE
>>22601930that's quite common outside of few countries
>The mech is a combining mech with three pilots commanding separate systems from individual jets>But you can only play as Getter 1, not Getter 2 or 3
>>22599243>>22601325Now that I've had time to start the game, it seems like none of the online features even check if EAC is working. I think you can even just stop the EAC service while the game is running and it doesn't care. I doubt they have any systems in place that care about DLC piracy.
How come Combattler and Voltres get their original body type while Mazinger and Getter had to conform?
Going to buy it tonight but I hate that the servers will be shut down in 6 months
>>22603192You wot?
>>22603192Isn't online still available for fucking Snack World? Didn't Level 5 keep the online puzzles for the Layton games available until Nintendo shut off DS/3DS online entirely? They seem to have a pretty good track record with keeping games running, but I don't pay attention to Yokai Watch or Inazuma 11 so maybe those have been shut down more frequently.
>everyone was given a fake family>Yamato lives completely aloneWill it ever be explained?
>>22603933I don't think it was, but I suppose brainwashing is not completely full proof. It can alienate some memories to certain degree, but if something really struck with person, they have to go around it and instead of wiping memory - manipulate it.Like with Yamato - he probably wouldn't able to accept other family for some reason or the other, so memory was altered to "murdered", yet he remembers fire.Maybe it depends also on having personal belongings. Like you probably can reinforce fake memory thru them if they are convincing enough but they don't have time nor infinity resources (probably) to make up whole family history and fabricate evidence.Even game portrays fake world as not perfect in that case, you can see girl complaining that there are no new magazines and only 2-3 years old ones.
how do you equip Kabuki functions?
Should I play the game first and then watch the anime, or do it the other way around?
>>22604064it's multi-media project, I'd say both are valid options, they all follow same story line.But watching probably will take less time. Since I'm 9 hours into the game and that's not even half of first season.
>>22603082Probably because the slim body type didn't exist when the original collaborations were done. Keep in mind this is basically the third release of Megaton Musashi.
does the switch version run well?
>>22604798Yeah, no problems with performance here.
So why is the opening in English if the whole game is in Japanese? Could they just not license the Japanese song?
>>22605253They probably just had it produced as something new to go with this international release. I think the japanese version uses it too
It's a shame how little publicity this release received; I didn't even notice it existed until it launched and it's probably one of my favorite games I've played this year so far. It also feels like this game is fucking huge, I've been playing all weekend and there's still apparently tons of game to go based on all the blank slots for Rogue pieces, weapons, and town collectibles in the Collection menus. I guess part of that is because this is some kind of compilation game?Please tell me Ibushi is playable, he has a DLC costume for some reason but it really doesn't seem like he'll ever be a full character.
is it possible to disable the other mechs so you can go solo?
>>22600912If you think that's "not a kids show" material, wait till you get to some later plot points.
>>22605379>Please tell me Ibushi is playableI think I saw someone playing as him in coop.
