>"gritty" "down-to-earth" jap mecha game>has absurdities like pic relNever falling for that again. Fuck the nigger who recommended me Armored Core Verdict Day.
>>722317272How is it standing with having those 3 giant cannons on it's back
>>722317439very carefully
>>722317272Artillery platforms are too much but a bipedal flying robot isn't?
>>722317272>literally the coolest thing ever>"This fucking sucks, actually"
honestly what's so bad about this? it's not like fuckhuge artillery platforms don't exist irlplus the ratio looks fine, you could imagine like say, an exosuited-up human carrying long barrel mortars on his back like that and it wouldn't buck physics. If you want actuall goofy body proportions in mecha you should check out shit that Nagano puts out like FSS
>>722318748nah three big fucking cannons on the back of a little dude is not a fine ratio. Maybe if it were just one that needs both hands to carry like a minigun then it would be cool. This however is just ridiculous and childish.
>>722319058but its not little? think of how much mass that mech must have and think about how most of the heft of those cannons are going to be in the sections closest to the mech. Then think about the mass ratios real life mobile artillery platforms have
>>722317272tell me about dem realistic mechas, anon
>>722319562>but its not littlethe mech compared to the cannons is little.>think about how most of the heft of those cannons are going to be in the sections closest to the mechSo is he supposed to fly away like a cannonball from the recoil if he were to use them or is he supposed to unmount them or some shit? Blud is firing those with such a high cg.>Then think about the mass ratios real life mobile artillery platforms haveAnd those are firmly affixed to the ground. We don't put them on 2km high towers and if they need to be self propelled the non cannon parts are smaller(by volume) and lighter than the rest.I can imagine some scifi bullshit to allow the mech carry one of those big ass cannons like a human would carry something long and heavy. Having three of those at the highest point i mean just come on. Maybe it could stand but even walking like that is a enormous challenge.
What if it bends backwards to brace itself on the floor with its feet and hands to fire off the artillery?
>>722319918>non cannon partscannon parts i mean. Not the other way around.>>722320030Yeah some sort of firing position would fix that issue but you still have issue of the poor thing needing to balance like its life depends on it to move an inch which sort of ruins the point of a mobile biped machine.I think that most mechs in iron harvest look kinda shit but they still tackled this issue a lot better i think. Yeah the concept of a mech itself is fantasy but change the angle of the canons in op just a bit and see if it falls.
>>722317272What made you think ACVD, the mech game with mechs that fly around shooting beam rifles and do parkour, was down-to-earth?The mechs may look shitty but they're super-advanced and reverse-engineered from lost tech.Btw Verdict Day is the best AC game and I will never forgive fromsoft for never porting it to PC where it could have lived to this day.
>>722317272Bro this is sick as fuck, what models are those? luv me that heavy gear aesthetic.
>>722317272Are those the 30mm ones?
>>722320912The one in front is from Kotobukiya's Hexa Gear line, the white one is from Bandai's 30MM line and the blue one to it looks like a Kampfer.
>>722317272nobody tell this nigga who designed battletech mechs
>"gritty" "down-to-earth" jap mecha game>play armored core veredict day>it's down to marsWOOOW
Nip mechs are so fucking shit
> heavy gearI CANT GET EITHER GAME TO WORK PROPERLYTHE 2ND GAME CRASHES OUT AT THE END OF THE 3RD MISSION
>>722323009Fuck you and your power armor bullshit.
>>722322178>hexa gearDamn cool models tnx anon
>>722324723Become a faggot anon
i liked how in patlabor they said robots looked cool because it was designed to appeal to citizens
>>722324865>>722324723>>722322178This shit costs as much as video games in maplebux.Are they also costly in real money or are they more reasonable?
>>722317272I don't see the problem.
>>722317272>takes up 3/4 of the entire mech's weight limit on it's own>can't move while using it>can only use it a limited amount of times before it fucking breaks>sucks the entire mech's generator dry while in useit's an in-universe impractical weapon. it's meant to be devastating, but also specialized as fuck and requiring a team to cover the mech using it. what's wrong with this?
>>722325501My Nigguy
>>722323009I agree, can't beat Western mechs for that gritty war machine feel. Pic strongly related.
>>722325501the thumbnail looks like its made out of toiletpaper rolls
>>722326084Japcrap mech: muh white ninja one of a kind prototype folded 1000 times backflipping everywhere while shooting laser beamsWestern mech: chunky boi with a gun
>>722325463What do you mean anon? Unless you're into painting this stuff is literally made to be snapped toghether lile gunplas.
>>722326380isnt this votoms
>>722327115What's "votoms"? I'm just posting superior Western mechs.
>>722327115Votoms more like Bottoms
I just want a mecha game where robots aren't jets with 50 death star lazers (looking at you, japshit games) and not where they are them humanoid robots by honda from 2000 (asimo or some shit) with 50 dumbfire rockets straped to it's arse (looking at you, battletech)
>>722317272It's fine. It just takes a wide stance when it's time to fire.
>>722326949I meant what I said. These plastic model kits cost as much as a video game in canadian monopoly money.
>>722327264The fucking do you want then? Playing as some Boss Borot shit bucket?
>>722327154Brilliant
To be fair those are power weapons that take so much power its not worth itACVI doesn't have as much magic mecha. Its optional and I always ran a ballistic build that looks like something the US army would commission.
>>722317272>Godhand>Unpainted
>>722317272>giant robots>down to earthwhy are you westoids so mentally ill
>>722327343i'm east asian so i have a say on this. these toys aren't all equal-cheap stuff costs like 20 dollars in US money while expensive ones can go up to like 200 and that's if you can get one because they're usually limited edition.bandai is the #1 company that makes the best gunpla-kotobukiya is inferior, but bandai usually make gundam kits only(like 80% of the time). macross(also known as robotech your country) has a licensing issue so they probably don't sell in NA, you'll have to buy from japanese websites and have them ship to canada(this takes a lot of money, trust me i tried buying shit from american ebay)sounds pretty similar to legos, right? except it isn't-because people don't like the looks of plastic a lot of them take time sanding, painting etc. their gunplas. it's a very autistic hobby
>>722327343Don't buy them from amazon, look for local sellers.
>>722317272>realistic mechas
>>722328336The only painting you should be doing is for customs or color correction.Just doing it for the sake of doing it isn't worth it.
>>722317272The realism of mecha has less to do with the giant robots, which are inherently silly and cool as fuck, and more to do with the elements surrounding them like the people and situations they're used in. The sooner you accept this, the more you'll enjoy life.
>>722317272 Armored Core 5 is trash dude, 6 is the new hotness and it fixed a lot of the series's problems (and introduced a bunch of new ones)
>Another westacuck obsessed with his vague definition of "realism"Mechs are fundementally a stupid concept, deal with it
>>722329359>>722328403Ah yes, famous mentally ill Westcucks like Kunio Okawara and Ryōsuke Takahashi.
>>722329359>>722328863What if by 'realism' he means mecha being tactical and militaristic instead of super sentai megazords? No shit a giant robot weighing hundreds of tons isn't realistic but its more cool and realistic when they're using ballistic and explosive firearms.
>>722329862>mecha being tactical and militaristici don't like it, robot with 2 legs will never be realistic, just embrace the goofiness which is why over-the top robots like getter and mazinger are superior than gundam
>>722330018>waaah waaah why doesn't everybody likes the same things I do? must be the West's fault I betmeanwhile, Japanese mecha fans have conventions where they show off their grittiest, most militaristic mecha models possible, with so much rust you wonder how they don't fall apart
>>722330153notice how even you yourself refuse to use realistic and down to earth when describing your cope?retarded westoid cockmongler
>>722319918>is he supposed to fly away like a cannonball from the recoil if he were to use themThis sounds like a viable strategy.
>>722330153>>waaah waaah why doesn't everybody likes the same things I do?you're doing the same thing making this thread every day sir
>>722330312"real robot" is LITERALLY how JAPANESE call those showsthe retarded westcuck is in your mind>>722330414I'm not OP
>>722330506there's a few autist who check every mech thread on /v/ and say dumb shit like posting battletech robots and complaining about anime mechs being unrealisticwell even if they didn't exist you would have tominotards claiming everything other than UC gundam is babyshit, evafags and geassfags claiming their shows are better because their shows are about people etc. autist magnet of a genre
>>722327343They cost that much in american funnymoney too. Hobbies are expensive. Gaming is unironically one of the cheapest hobbies around
>>722318748>If you want actuall goofy body proportions in mecha you should check out shit that Nagano puts out like FSS>NaganoTbf, FSS is setting where magic literally exists and MH/GTMs are closer to custom-built Knights piloted by literal knights than mass produced fodder.
>>722330731the giant fuckoff cannon OP is referring to
>>722317272u geySee >>722318531
>>722330018The only 'realistic' ACs/mobile suits at least by todays standards are guntanks, I also like metal gears and other bipedal weapon type mecha. I mean it's not realistic but they sure are a lot cooler than mighty morphine power rangers looking ass mecha doing backflips
>>722318748The op pic isn't even armored core
>>722327343In my experience Amazon has the worst pricing, a 15 buck mech will be sold for 60 because they hope to catch people who don't have a clue on regular pricing. Worst comes to the worst you can get a near as damnit knock-off from your Chinese stores for pennies.
>>722331026That reminds me, I need to finish my Burglary Dog paintjob
>>722331291Buying from Aliexpress is unironically the best thing if you want a fairly rare or expensive kit. You can get some massive deals.
Screw realism, I just want a cool chunky mech.
>>722323198Ahh heavy gear 2The game where big fucking robot fists are actually the most powerful weapon in the game. Like seriously, i remeber going into the mode that let you free build and test and the unarmed gears literally 2 shot you
>>722330731>>722330859>Tell your future wife that you'd come for her with a Knight in shining golden armor>Make a robot entirely coated in gold to fulfil the request>Robot is literally named Knight of GoldBig dick powermove.
>>722331352yeah just got a woundwart from there for the cost of a sandwich, only complaint is the plastics a tiny bit rough in places and the instructions were cut off.
>>722330506>"real robot" is LITERALLY how JAPANESE call those showsand a dolphin is called a water pigI don't know what you retarded westacucks think statements like these prove apart from your flimsy grasp on how any language works
>>722331352>massive dealsthese are called fakes sis
>>722331782Sure if you're an idiot.
>>722331726>water pig The Germans got to them
>>722331782You're an idiot if you go in thinking you'll get a real one for that cheap, but the knockoffs aren't like dollar store toys, they'll pass for the real thing at a casual inspection so if the real ones stupidly expensive I say go for it.
>>722332874You can get some legitimate deals on real products on Aliexpress anon. It's not all bad. It won't be anything like a $70 kit for 10 but maybe 50 or so.Then there's tools like the dispae stuff, they can go for some dumb prices but on Aliexpress you can get a legit one for nothing.
>>722334089>dispaeIs it as good as Godhand?
This is a gen V armored core btwThe reason they're scrappy looking like something you'd see being used in Ukraine is because gen V is set after WW3
Nobody in fucking history has ever described armor core as a gritty down to earth mecha franchiseThis thread is fake news, fake outrage, fake and gay
