What features do you like in mecha games?
>>730841914Are there any mech games where I can capture enemy pilots after the battle
>>730841914it's pronounced "mech", not "mech"
>>730842128Not to my knowledge but in Front Mission 2 and 3 you can make enemies surrender and take their mechs.
>>730841914mecha sex

>>730841914Weight and scale. You have to actually FEEL like you're piloting a multi-ton war machine rather than some asshole wearing armour.Gundam Evolution failed spectacularly at this.
>>730841914you should feel the weight, especially when firing a machine gun, you are blasting at the very least 120bullets/minute of 20mm down range.
>>730841914first person cockpit view
>>730841914Actual mobility/movement that's supposed to justify your fictional setting using mechs instead of tanks. What the fuck is the point of having boosters/jump jets if you're just moving around like a fucking tank on the ground all the time? What's the point of your legs if you're not going to use them to punt shit every so often? Why give your mech arms and fists if you're not going to punch someone or disarm an enemy by stealing their gun and using it against them?
Seconding sense of weight and scale. Doesn't have to be a total clunker but I do want to feel it.
Now that there is a Votoms anime coming out soon, I wish for a new Votoms game.
>>730845493its 1983 again?
>>730844631Honestly a mecha game where you can do jujutsu or taekwondo would be cool
>>730845547Oshii is directing this one.
>>730847008that old toad still croaks?
>>730844925This. I should feel big. Otherwise it's just power armor in a mini-golf course.
>>730841914Not only destructible environments but interactible. I want to be able to take the eiffel tower and shove in down a kaiju's throat.
>>730844925Titanfall's pretty good with this. The presence of infantry, both as NPCs and players, ensures that you always feel like the biggest fucker in town, while still being mobile enough to do all sorts of shit.
>>730845493I just want to more grounded votom gamePs2 was good but ATs are basically bullet sponge whereas ATs in votoms anime are glass cannon
>>730841914realism and not fucking flying
>>730841914Mecha designed after birds and lizards rather than humanoids and function more like airplanes rather than tanks.
>>730841914explosions
>>730841914Is there a mech game, where you can wander around in a hub world on foot? I unironicly think a persona like would work really well for a mech game. Bery easy to have the twists of that random social link you liked was in the mech you just obliterated
customization and gameplay diversity, mechwarrior is trash because most of the mechs just play the same, it's shit, it's boring, you just pick the one with the highest stats and that's all there is to it>b-but you can take the fast ones insteadso you can get one shot directly? what for?it's fucking trashI want flying parts, I want tracks, I want 8 leg arachnoid parts, I want all of them to play completely different, and I want different weapons that do different things and play differently that you want to switch out depending on your objectives and what you're meant to doalso, unironically, I want a hot anime girl in my cockpit copiloting and giving me instructions or updates on the mission, basically the bitch from mullet madjack
>>730849483Robot Alchemic Drive
>>730849563Sounds like you would like the Armored Core series. The PS2 games in particular (I haven't played 6) offer amazing variety.
>>730849483have you played gunparade march? not exactly what you're looking for but maybe
>>730849760right, should've added: I prefer first person, otherwise it's really not a mech gamethis was the best part of mechwarrior, that shitty razer keyboard I had with the absolutely pointless RGB proved to be useful for that one single aspect, when I got in my first mech, my keyboard turned all black with only the O key being red; which is the turning on the engine button, then shit started lighting up as the systems became online and the buttons all had colors assisted functions, that shit was unironically insanely coolso, I guess 'immersion' is great to have, and mechwarrior shines there, but the gameplay feels far too limited
>>730841914Lean more into anime influences. Less mechs inspired by vehicles and more based on knights and samurai
How do you guys like my glass cannon build? Traded mobility and armor for max firepower
>>730841914Aquatic combat would be cool
>>730841914Big gunsBigger gunsMany missilesBig swordsSometimes pile bunkers
>>730841914Sentient mech AIs that bond to their pilots, sometimes a little too closely. No h*man hologram appearance or anything either, just the pure love of 100 tons of steel and cable.
>>730849996I think Silent Line and the first game have first person modes. Problem is that combat is so fast in Armored Core that it feels like a hinderance.
>>730850229Fuck man, I forgot how cool Gurren Lagann looked. I haven't rewatched the show in 4 years, maybe its time for another go.
>>730850229>based on knights and samuraiI'm more in favor of cowboys myself.
>>730851969Incredible taste right here.
>>730841914I am playing MechWarrior 2 Mercenaries literally right nowdidn't like 2 that much and was thinking about how I prefer Armored Core's merc lifestyle and money management over just straight military campaigns then I started this and it's literally everything I wanted
>>730851969It only comes up sometimes but I like the bit of banter with the computer ai in Layzner and Dragonar. I'd like to see more of that.
