>want a macross game>We have macross at home
Robocop
>>738497035I really love mechs, I've been obsessed with them as a kid and built lots of gunpla but I'm always disappointed by actual shows. probably Macross Plus and Nadesico are the only ones that really delivered, and neither of those are even great mech with crazy designs or anything. so I've always been afraid to spend time on mech games because I figure it will be the same, cool designs but shit actual gameplay
>>738499259Most mech games are indeed shit, because a lot of devs make a simple action game with a mecha coat of paint. Depending on what you like though, most of the games in this thread should be safe to try for a real mecha fan.
>>738497770>thing is just another thing but with another thingPerforming pattern recognition must be you're proudest achievement.
>>738499259Gunbuster is one of my favorites of all time. I will never not cry like a bitch at that ending.
>>738497035I love mechs but not that many sadly, can only really think of Xenogears. Still haven't gotten into AC.
>>738499835
good mech anime recs? is evangelion good?
>>738499228>Crime in LA finally gets so bad the police are deploying mechs to handle itI remember this game vaguely. You fight the usual drug gangs, crime pins, and I think a corrupt politician who all seemingly have military hardware to fight you with.
Mechs are always dragged down by the existence of anime cliches being shoved in. I vehemently refuse to support any protag that is under 18, talks about love and friendship, or otherwise has special privileges exclusive to the protagonist. It makes the game a boring slog because you know it will be creatively bankrupt.
>>738500558What about Armored Core games?
>>738500761I'm sure lots of people here would bitch about it being for normies or whatever, but AC6 really is a great intro to the genre. There are definitely tropes, but it doesn't feel juvenile. And it's got enough customization for both style autists and stat autists.
>>738498646I've been meaning to play this for many years now, but somehow I always forget. There was just so many awesome looking games I missed, or didn't even really know existed back when they were new, and many getting fan translations later, that it really feels impossible to catch up while still playing modern games. I can't even keep up with new fan translations alone.
>>738500558The best mecha stuff even outside of vidya mostly doesn't do any of that, and when it does it's usually explicitly to subvert the cliche
>>738500558>Anime cliches being thrown inThere have been a lot of anime with mechs in it, and they vary with how "realistic" they tend to portray them. That's like saying you hate how Westerns always have cowboys riding horses in it.
Lots, not as many as I'd like though. Off the top of my headMSGOZoids Battle LegendsZoids Vs IIIZoids LegacyGundam Battle Operation 2Gundam Breaker 3Gundam Breaker 4Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3MS Saga: A New DawnArmored Core VIInto the BreachThe Pacific Rim fighting game on the 360
>>738500761I am fine with armored core because nobody really has plot immunity. Someone you worked with the whole game could be mercilessly gunned down in the middle of a mission, and the game thinks nothing of it. And no, not even the player is exempt, if nexus' ending is any indication.
>>738497035https://store.steampowered.com/app/3392040/OMEGA_PHENEX_COMMENCED_PROJECT_SIX/The playtest for this just opened up. Feels a bit more Ace Combat in atmosphere than Armored Core with the level designs and optional first person view.
>>738500442Enemies are silly. Includes someone sacrificing an actress to cthullu.
>>738500761Armored Core smartly took the Ace Combat route of making everyone not only adults but entirely devoid of plot armor. To think that Armored Core does not have any anime influence would be silly but it eschews the shonen protag thing for the most part.When they do that they make an Iguazu and it's hilarious. He's an anime protag that doesn't have the plot armor.
>>738498646oh hey looks coo->Working designslol never mind.
>>738497035Does BF2142 count?AC6AC1
>>738500558>>738500761I really liked Armored Core 6 because it was Japanese without being Shonen Anime, it has some grit to itAC1 is giving similar vibes
My playthrough in a nutshellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHJfafgLxBw
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3392040/OMEGA_PHENEX_COMMENCED_PROJECT_SIX/This is fun, but you might not like the whole fly in the sky 80% of the time gameplay.
>>738501070>, and when it does it's usually explicitly to subvert the clicheIts beautiful.
>>738501470I will never forget FROM from denying my chicken mech set up in 6.

>>738506238It's pretty fun, but it is extremely easy in its current state. I'm looking forward to it though.

Gundam breaker 4 is a fun gundam builder/beat em up
EDF5/6xcxModded mc>>738503142I mean we kill a gundam pilot expy as a tutorial mission.
>>738497035Armored core 4 and for answer. I played all the og gens before hand so I was getting pretty tired of playing the same game several times in a row. This caused the noticeable difference in speed all that more impactful and I really liked it. Missions were either finished in 5 minutes, or you died in 5 minutes. My experience with mech inputs in the previous games helped shape my custom inputs in for honour and I managed to make it pretty comfortable for myself. Never managed to master chainboosting but I could consistently manage 3 in a row.
Why does armored core 6 never go on sale on ps5
>>738507610>EDF5/6Only applies to the air raider class but still based. Shame they become useless as EDF begins to spam instant kill enemies
>>738507697Inferno being pure bullshit might as well just be a given. Though the devs assume you've been grinding armor for a fuckton of hours before even wanting to attempt that shit.
Is daemon x machina titatinc scion considered mech? And is it any good?
>>738507876No and no.AC6 mindbroke the devs so hard they changed what the game was; now you just use Iron Man suits and your 'mech' is a glorified Spartan Rage system. It's also not very good. Much like the first game wait until it's 90 percent off or just pirate it if you really want to try. Bamco is fucking crazy charging 70 bucks for it.
>>738508090Oh :(It looked cool tho :(
>>738497035SDGO (my actual first mech game)Gundam Warriors 3 (it was okay)ALL Armored Core (the best)Gundam Breaker Mobile Gacha Gundam Battle Operation 2 (I don't like this one)Mecharashi (please play this one, it's good and hard)>>738506402There will be weapon arms on 6.5, keep praying
>>738508127I wanted to like it. The problem I got to play Armored Core 6 and this game gives me a bunch of Xenoblade vibes since you spend a lot of your time going around picking up crafting and upgrade material from indistinct glowing points.Forever.I want to play mecha games, not whatever they decided to do here. They also double down on the story, the thing people hated the most about the first game. Your mileage may vary.
>>738508303I really wish armored core 6 had co op.
>>738497770Hmm... based!
>>738497770Mechwarrior is shit
>>738497035Daemon X MachinaArmored Core 6Daemon X Machina IIIm casual like that
>>738501070>The best mecha stuff even outside of vidya mostly doesn't do any of thatYou are so wrong it's not even funny.
I only played ZoE and Mech Warrior 5. I didnt like MW. No good reaction and feeling when shooting other robots. They tank whatever you throw at them and keep moving like normal. I guess it's "realistic" but it doesn't translate to fun.
I really want Bandai Namco to make a Gundam game that has its own new universe like MS Saga was, but an action game instead of a JRPG. I want to feel like I'm playing an alternate timeline anime.
>>738497035>Macross (technically)>Armored Core games>Mechwarrior >Chronehounds>Zone of the Enders>Front Mission 3>Doll's Nest>modded Rimworld>Into the Breach>Omega BoostI can probably list more, but it can be a bit too much

>>738507697>>738507801I managed to live though infernowith the dlc laser nyx. But every vehicle dies in dlc missions.Still wish 6 had balam. Barga is just too round for my liking.
>>738511175Have you tried Another Century Episode? That's literally what you describe.
>>738512039That's more of a crossover of existing titles, I was wanting a completely original set of mechs for this. ACE is on my list of games to play as I get better at Japanese tho
>>738497035I've played some Phantom Brigade this year. It's fun and I love what it is trying to do, but it feels very under cooked, and it gets boring somewhat quickly, so breaks are necessary.Too few standard battle maps, this is the biggest issue. Second biggest issue is lack of narrative and storytelling, although knowing the devs, any story they add would probably be gay and retarded.Third biggest issue is the lack of a "real time replay" of the battles. Such an obvious feature to have in the game, but the devs say that they cannot implement it for some reason.Minor issue are things like:Pilot levels/prestige should go further, but give less per level. UI should do a better job of explaining if you can expect to knock someone down after an attack.Lack of voice acting.Significant disconnect between actual Norwegian culture and history and the game taking place in not-Norway.In the end I would still recommend trying it, if a tactical squad-based mech game is what someone is looking for, but it has flaws for sure.
>>738497035One Must Fall 2097A fighting game for real men with bulging veiny cocks
I want a mech game where you invade a planet full of mecha and your legally distinct battletech knockoffs rape and gape the prettyboy dainty mechas charging at you with swords using ER-PPCs from beyond visual range. The planet would be called "Nippong" or something and you'd be the United Federation of Veiny White Cock.
No Mecha Break?No Synduality?
>>738512824both trash
>>738512727I want a mech game where it was the norm to have your own mech in that world. Like replace cars with mechs. Mechs had their own tier from simplest mass produce wanzer to lost ancient/alien technology super robot.We had to build our own by making money out of battle tournaments, mech racing, or completing mission from corporation.With overarching story narrative.
>>738512824>"mecha game">show human as the focus instead of the mechalol. lmao.
>>738513039>human as the focusI don't like the game and even I know that's bullshit
>>738513019>what is steambot chronicles
>>738513120Remove the ugly protag and change mech design and place it in urban cityscape and add flying.
>>738513120>Steambot ChroniclesMan, why do they have to disappear?
>>738512824Synduality had so much potential as a single player story game and they turned it into an extraction shooter
>>738512727And then, they start sending in their god-machines…
>>738513267I just wanted a synduality game set after the anime. But no nips are so fucking dead set making everygame pvpve.
Armored Warriors is really cool.
>>738513019Stealing this idea, thanks anon
>>738512727There was a chink game like that but it was basically discount armored core killing ai mechwarriors one of the basic bitch mob was a litterally a catapult
>>738513714I don't mind, just make it a reality. In game or story media whatever. I just want the entertainment.

>>738512824I've been thinking about Mechabreak again lately but unfortunately it is dying. The devs' fault really for not listening to the players at all.>>738513039Huh? It's absolutely not the focus.
>>738508276>Mecharashi (please play this one, it's good and hard)But it's gachashit.. if it's hard because you gotta pay to win that's not a good thing..
>>738497035I want more mecha games
>>738519608I do too.
>>738519608Plenty of mecha games. But people only play armored core.
>>738519945He and I don't want a RTS game. Also AC games have a perfect blend of mech/mecha games.
>>738507697You mean Fencer?
>>738513039You do know. If the mech genre did the romance, human and politic sub plot better it would be popular enough for normal fags that the genre doesn't fade in and out of existence.
>>738514001if you are going by tropes there will be a berserk mecha that teleports behind you eventually
>>738497035Does Dead Hand count? I does have mechs although I wouldn't call it a mech game/
>>738519608I want more games that actually make you feel like you're in a mecha and not "x but with a mecha skin" like 95% of these games
>>738520148Just have one PPC face backwards. It's not that hard.
>>738519993Thanks for proving my point.
>>738520534That was the point.
>>738497770HOLY BASED
>>738520035I mean, we could call it a gundam if you want to be generous, but we're talking mechs here, not exosuits
>>738513019How about a mech game where your mech can transform into a car, truck, bike, chopper, plane, boat and even a submarine? Doesn't even have to make sense it can be done through some sort of technological meme magic
anyone have the bogdanoff timeline image for Armored Core 1/2?

>>738522114??
>zoom around in the sky>(you) are the ace hero protagonist who solos the war>use advanced prototype warmachine to pwn noobs>launch missiles at everything, lategame swap guns for lasers>a dramatic war story rendered somewhat incoherent by questionable devs & localizersdoes Ace Combat count as a mecha game, even though you fly planes?
>>738514570It's strange how EDF can on lower difficulties be a power fantasy of you being a lone soldier singlehandedly changing the tide of an alien invasion...then pure rage inducing nonsense as you deal with flying calamari with shields that reflect your shots (and their damage) back at you while shoving said shield in your face if they get too close. It becomes a shooter/puzzle game where you have to figure out the right kit that will solve the problem but that's a lot of trial and error before you find a successful solution.
>>738517546No, even paying will not get you pass hard stages if you don't know what you're doing.The pay part is more that you can get resources faster, but you can still get the same thing even if you don't spend any money on this. It's literally gacha in name only.
>>738522524Awful UI but really fun. Dev seems to actually give a shit because it gets updates constantly, sometimes multiple times a week.
>>738524916it's not mecha but it is kino
>>738505885I remember the find the old lady's cat mission in that game. you get some cat toy and when you squeak it it goes "magic claw!" or some shit. it's burned into my brain
>>738514845>you've played Front Mission, right?No lmao.>i'm waiting for Kreigsfront Tactics to be releasedI do too, but I advice you to keep your expectation low. The devs got fucked hard by goverment, I don't think the game will release anytime soon.
>>738522054That's just Transformers.
>>738513039Unlike other mecha games, mecha break is about the characters
>>738525665EDF is balanced for coop. Less retries when there's multiple players. Sure, you can solo it, but as you said, it gets ridiculous doing it alone.And they know the type of core audience they have and they deliver the best challenges in DLC missions.Tbh, I hate coop. Other players solving the stage feels like I didn't beat it myself. But the DLC missions are great since you will need to talk to your team for how punishing the can be without grinding HP.
>>738498942It was fun enough tho
>>738513019thats just patlabor
>open thread>ctrl+f hawken>0 results>close thread
>>738527990Kek
>>738497563you probably didn't play it, because you ain't jap and probably only know it because of the sick song unlockable in Smash Bros Brawl "Marionation Gear"... and i respect that. Take this (You) and fuck off forever.
>>738528093I wish my friends weren't the worst kind of normies who buy whatever the most recent FOMO bullshit was all the time. I get dragged into playing so much multiplayer focused garbage, but they're friends, so you gotta make concessions sometimes.
I'm playing through Dolls Nest right now, it's enjoyable but the level design can be iffy at times and the weapons don't feel particularly satisfying to useStill a decently fun time
Does anyone remember that action mech game but viewed from isometric perspective?
>>738529191This one? You technically drive any vehicle, not just mechs, but they are some of the most fun ones you can pilot.
>>738519945what's this game?top down realtime reminds me of Mechcommander 2
>>738528581I still miss it dearly tbqh
>>738529357No, the mechs were more humanoid and moves fast with boost and sliding like a mini armored core. It wasn't released yet but I've seen someone posted it.
>>738529817>>738529357I think he's talking about Front Mission
>>738530837I only ever played the 3rd person action game Front Mission, which in hindsight was kind of crap.
>>738497035Any games that focus on the pilots and drama as well as the mech fights while not being visual novels?I don't mind how simplistic the graphics are.
>>738530947gbo2
danball senki/little battlers experience counts and I'll hear nothing to the contrary
>>738529110Just wait til you get waga no yaiba, and also use machine guns/bazooka side arm
>>738522524Pretty soulful, I wish there was a bit more to it so there was a feeling of actual progression. With other rogue likes or things like Vampire Survivors you get things you can carry into each new run so you're not constantly starting from 0. There's a bit of that, letting you carry over parts, but a few bad runs in a row and you're back to absolutely nothing and it sucks.
there's an entire board for this...
>>738531184the entire board is fucking dead spare for the generals, just like 80-90% of 4chan
>>738530837It's not a turn based. It's an action. The preview were the devs demonstrating the mech fighting something like tetrapod
>>738531184video games and sadly /m/ is dead.

>>738525665>It's strange how EDF can on lower difficulties be a power fantasy of you being a lone soldier singlehandedly changing the tide of an alien invasion..Speaking of which. Edf 6's time travel story was absolutely kino. Never seen time travel used like that in a war setting before and it felt awesome.
you know, I do love my ACs being fast and mobile like gen 4, but I think after replaying the games that I prefer the slower heftier feel of gen 2 and 3. Which is a strange thing to think because younger me was crazy about 4A when it came out.
>stomp or zoomchoose your fighter
>>738532318Stomp, with a side of zoom.
>>738532318I like to stomp and slide-zoom
shogo.. ac6..
>>738532318Both
>>738497801That Desert section near the end of the game was bullshit but other than that i really like it. Shame the sequel was cancelled.
How do i git gud at the early AC games, i really suck at camera management i can cant track any of the ACs
>>738532318Heavy mechs stomp light mechs zoom
>>738534487which early? gen 123? They're not that fast that you can't track em.
>>738534487Angular velocity or whatever it's called.Play ranged. Mobile targets now look like a dancing fly on the screen without moving your camera.This is true for every shooty games.
I'm giving Mechabreak another chance. they added true pve and it's comfy. The devs finally admitted they fucked up and are looking to fix shit, and I'm hopeful.
>>738537662Fuck yeah, there's actually story this time?
>>738529817>It wasn't released yetMech Havoc? That one entered EA not long ago, but just like Brigador it has non-mechs and non-humanoid mechs too
>>738537662>The devs finally admitted they fucked up and are looking to fix shittoo little too fucking late but I might check it out again
>>738537698No, that's also not isometric. God I regret not saving it.
>>738537697Sadly no and they clearly don't have the budget for this now, but there's mashmak without the gay PVP of people stealing your shit now, and they will add a roguelike mode too (solo and coop)
>>738537029The first game, i'm stuck at the mission where you destroy some cars and an AC suddenly appears
>>738532318I'm firmly in the zoom camp, because aircrafts with legs seems much more useful and added value than tanks with legs.. which is.. why bother?Votom is an exception because they're like 3m tall, it make sense to have an enhanced armored infantry unit for war, it's not really a tank and it rolls around most of the time anyway.I also love armored core but honestly they have no business being that tall. Nexts make sense but they're zooms. ACV's mechs are also cool due to their smaller size.
>>738528828I played the translation on CDromance.
>>738538135Ah the valkyrie one? just escape bruh. Use that upper tunnel where a train comes out from.
I didn't mark down where the locations of the red barriers were at in Dolls Nest and now I have to try to find them to progress or admit defeat and look it up onlineThe game could really use a map, like a Metroid Prime style one would be super useful
>>738538981??? lmao wat
