WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THIS SERIES?
>>744112596Nothing?
>>744112596Didn't Terada retire? Don't hold your breath for another Original Generations.
>>744112596After Z they simplified the difficulty way too much. Although SRW Y did well the difficulty in both Expert and Master mode so maybe we are getting back into real SRPG experience.
>>744112596>WENT WRONGwas it ever good?
>>744112596The OG games didn't sell enough to continue being madeThe licensed games have slop animation quality and largely get recycled these days + they became way too easy (It was never a hard franchise but like they are unloseable tier now)
>>744113093The Alpha, Z, OG and the first saga games are pretty good.
>>744112596not enough zoids
>>744112596It should have been 3D ages ago
>>744112596Fumbled Z OG deadHD sprites
Not staying JP only, dekinais shouldnt be allowed to enjoy SRW
>>744112596What is the one single SWR game everybody needs to play regardless of featured series preferences?
>>744114237Alpha 3
>>744113064z was easy as fuck doe?
>>744114237PS2 OGs
>>744112596As the other anon said, HD sprites have done most harm to the series. That an admittedly streek of games with bland casts and meh gameplay. I think the 'open' mission does a lot of wrong. But if they go back to that classic style and do fun stuff like V, they can get great again. >>744113003Went freelancer but still works in the series. >>744114016Alpha 1 DC, GC/XO, NEO and OE are all 3d. Out of these, only GC has some cult following. Then there's the SC games which are actually impressive, since they are to scale. But they are RTSs. SC2nd tl never. Rahxephon never again.>>744114237Hard to say.OGs obviously, legit amazing game and is burdened with needing knowledge of 80s and 70s super robot shows. It's also one of the better animated and designed games with great maps and objectives. For instance, Ryusei's route is a logistic puzzle about getting your big stick (grungust) to the enemy to kill it.If you mean a regular game. V is the best modern game. AP is the hardest game in the series and will actually make you think. W is really well put. And AG is also probably the most balanced game of them all.
>>744114504>>744114598>OGsIsn't that a remake of the GBA game? Or is it some pseudo-sequel
>>744114485Did you played on EX-Hard Mode?
>>744114817Remake to the gba games. One of the rare instances of a remake replacing the original. There's quite literally no reason to play GBA over PS2. https://youtu.be/ku0He3OJSQ0?si=VtoM6X9jz8bagNVihttps://youtu.be/Lv8B-rm2pU4?si=C9BybywJPjclXEJI
>>744112596Not really. At no point has the gameplay ever felt like anything other than a waste of time chore, and I say this as someone who's played most of the games from the 90s up until nowYou play it for literally everything except the gameplay
>>744112596HD sprites and bad UI designAlthough, for some reason the OG games have good animations. It doesn't make any sense.
>>744114237None, the franchise is about fanservice and has no redeeming value outside of the fanservice it provides. You cannot divorce how much you enjoy a SRW game from how much you enjoy the series featured in it and anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselvesYes, this applies to OG too, don't pretend like you aren't salty about MD cutting the Masou Kishin characters or R getting buttfucked every time
>>744113064the only entry with any challenge was A Portable.
>>744112596bandai didn't even bother to port the main series to the pc and update the translation and now it remains forever in console hell
>>744115038SRX Team were the best. I love that in universe none of their attacks actually have names, it's all Ryusei naming them because he's a giant nerd. Also Variable Formation best theme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxZ0KpnPEho&list=RDMxZ0KpnPEho&start_radio=1
>>744114237A Portable.
>>744115419The first SRW game I played was GC and that was my introduction to the mecha genre. I loved it, despite not knowing any of the series.
>>744112596>HD spritesUgly as fuck, graphics should have stayed pixel and the units needed to stay SD except for attack cut ins>OGShould have released more in the West or ported them in a collection after the main got its first Western release>DDSelf explanatory>seriesShould have followed up on pursuing a wider variety of small unit series after having Megazone in D. Shirow and Ishinomori works would have both hit hard.
I want to go back to route splits. I dont like pickig whatever in 30. Its better in Y but it makes the game too much of a slog.
AMERICA FUCK YEAH
>>744115520Doesn't disprove anything. You probably thought the series in it were cool. And they are. My first game was J, I was also pretty new to mecha when I played it. I think J's trash, and a lot of that comes down to its rancid series list.
>Valzacard in OG never
>>744112596No more OGLost their soul with transition to HDNo transformation or unit upgrade FMVAttacks not as flashy as PS2 eraNewer games are easy as fuck
>>744112596whatever the shitty thing they did with SRW 30 and Y
>>744112596I'd like a new OG game without ending up also waiting many many years for a regular one after, I'd like them to drop the 30 and Y format with stage select so they can focus on making the story flow a bit better while not making the game even easier than it was before, on the topic of difficulty I want them to make it so you have to actively engage with all the systems and actually plan so that you don't lose instead of just steamrolling thru every stage easy.
>>744114598>OGs obviously, legit amazing game and is burdened with needing knowledge of 80s and 70s super robot shows.>tfw I feel compelled to play through every SRW that I can in english that was released first since its a crossover of all the OG charactersOne day I'll play OGs...
Needs more Braiger.
SRW Y should have had Bravern and whatever other gay series they could have crammed in for SRW Y(aoi).
>>744117791>gatekeeping normalfagsBased.
>>744117764I hope with every fiber of my being that this worthless, faggot, monkeypox aids ridden absolute dogshit trash never makes it to any SRW.Holy FUCK do i hate Bravern. I come in expecting shit like Mightgaine or Gaogigar and get this absolute trash.
>>744117637Truest words ever spoken.
>>744117791If you aren't willing to play despite not knowing some obscure robot show from the 70's, your love of mecha isn't powerful enough.
They are lazy and stop doing OG series
>>744117791It's not a series for normalfags. You go in because you like giant robots, and may like one or two of the series that are in this time, and then you find new series with cool robots and interesting seeming characters so you can go pirate watch the series you haven't seen.
>>744113064The only challenge the series ever had was from Winkysoft jank.
>>744117936you sound ass raped
>>744112596The spritework turning into images of CG models that slide around screen. The general animations turning into mobile gacha tier garbage with no real fluidity to their attacks. Every game for the last 10 years having 90% of it's cast from Z3 and on just so they don't have to make too many new units. New series having barely any characters besides the one main unit.
>>744115038God I wish we could get an OG1&2, Gaiden collection, and in english.
>>744114237Alpha 2
>>744112596Multiple things.The new games are pretty bad, both in terms of writing and animation. 30 and Y especially suck due to their new mission structure.I imagine bandai is partly to blame since they're probably giving them barely any budget for the games.Its also should be stated the state of mech anime is abysmal, we havent had a decent mech show in at least a decade if not 2.And worst of all, their gacha brings in far more money than the real games, so i imagine they dont feel like they should try
>>744112596i don't like the way they draw sprites in current year. i miss the old art direction if we're not going full 3D like SD Gundam Cross Rays (my GOAT.)
>>744112596It's been the same shit for the past 30 years.
>>744112596Damn Im older than SRWhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy_8bFE0PqwAlpha 3 or Z2.1 & Z2.2
>>744115038>There's quite literally no reason to play GBA over PS2.Nah, GBA is worth playing too. GBA has beautiful animations too, a lot of amazing music and enough different stages and balance to warrant playing. Especially OG2, the carryover in OGs1 to OGs2 kind of ruins the balance, they didn't do enough to fix it. I guess they figured it didn't matter too much for Ex-Hard anyway which is fair.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT8n-kogCiQ>18 years agobros...take me back...
>Liked Edge's personality more than Cross>Soji still has the best personality of the modern MCs
I think my favorite of the lesser known /m/ series has been Gun x Sword.
>>744123765>revenge is good the showI liked it.
I saw Gaiden just got an AI translation. Is it any good, or at least playable? Even if I use an overlay AI translation, it'd probably give the same result, so I might as well play the one that's pre-patched.
>>744124359I played it a few weeks ago and it was really rough. Since then i believe text cut off was fixed, but im not sure about the translation, a lot of it sounds like gibberish, though that just might be standard og dialogue
>>744114237Fantasy Maiden Wars is genuinely great srw game and Banpresto should take notes
>>744124431As long as the menus are reasonably legible that's good enough for me.
>>744124359surely ai can't be worse than what moon dwellers got...surely
>>744117791Yeah instead of needing to know those, you instead need to have played every other SRW game, half of which aren't translated to EnglishBtw most mecha shows are translated to English these days, it takes some real bottom of the barrel crap like Barattack to still be JP only
>>744124905It's not. I played Z2.1 with an AI patch and it was bearable. You can tell there's a lot of wrong shit, but at least it doesn't give me a headache trying to understand what the fuck I'm reading.
>>744112596We haven't had a new OG in like 10 years
>>744115318>HD sprites and bad UI designI really don't get why they didn't just port over the HUD from 30. Y is the better game overall but goddamn does that hud hurt.
>>744124948Z2.1 isn't a lazy AI translation. The anon at /srwg/ said himself that he'll keep manually polishing the patch until it's 100% complete before he moves on to translating Z2.2
>>744112596>what went wrongThey are putting their eggs all in DD's basket with no sign of stopping.Like experimental series are making their debut there. Impressive final attacks that should be in console games are created and added there to be pulled via the gacha. Wild crossover moments like other characters piloting mechs from other shows or things like Lelouch from Code Geass getting his own version of the Wing Gundam Zero.They are saving basically everything that would have been awesome to see in a console SRW and putting them in the god damn mobile game.
>>744112596My first experience with SRW was with the OG games (loved 1 and 2), i had no idea they were the exception and not the norm, where the "main" series is actually some marvel multiverse franchise crossover horseshit i could not care less about. What a fucking turnoff.
>>744123003The GBA animations and music sucks by comparison.
needs more jiggle
>>744124470Played the demo for the new one or whatever and immediately dropped it.I was promised SRW. Instead it was nu-SRW.
>>744125385They knew what the important things were.
>>744112596they stopped adding the best mecha.
>>744114598>As the other anon said, HD sprites have done most harm to the series.That's just an excuse, nothing about going from PSP resolution to HD resolution necessitated that the animation quality completely go to shit and eventually get replaced with godawful CGI models either. Hell, Y's garbage animation is especially egregious after how well 30 sold, there's clearly no reinvestment of profits going on here.
>>744125184>They are saving basically everything that would have been awesome to see in a console SRW and putting them in the god damn mobile game.Pretty much. Every story is now played straight, with barely any fun crossover. They're not even trying>hurr durrr its because of getter ray ad infinite
>>744126560>they stopped adding the best mechaX-Ω was the only way to add something like Heybot.
>>744127881Stories like D where Char wins and you're on his side are fun.
>>744126560I have Evangelion fatigue. Unless they adapt new source material like Anima, I don't care at all.
The games became way to fucking long!
>>744125184>Lelouch from Code Geass getting his own version of the Wing Gundam ZeroFunny how it started with this and now there's an actual crossover manga.
>>744128434Im actively starting to hate Y because of its shitty dlc. They dumped 40+ missions with barely any story and reused enemies, because why even try.Holy shit, and the game was already long as it is. 30 is even fucking worse.
>>744128516Yeah, I didn't finish my playthrough with the DLC. I hate the model but they tried more baked scenarios and that wasn't very well-received either. Not sure what I want. No DLC?
>>74412855830 had the better idea for dlc, bake them into the main story and at most give them 3 or 4 missions. 30s problem is that it was a bloated shit game, dlc was the least of its problems.The only problem doing it this way, is that unless you plan to replay the game, you're better off waiting for all the dlc to come out
>>744128516It's all content without substance.Like, holy shit, 30 has about twenty fucking pages of equippable items - it's just stuff and clutter for the sake of looking more complex than it actually is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT-c_0A3Fhs&t=273sWhat do they even feed her?
The crossover aspect was taken over successfully by gachas. There is no point in old-style SRW anymore.Even SRW has its own gachas as well.
>>744129579Everyone worldwide is becoming obese now. Even asians.Dunno wtf is going on, in relative terms it's a much bigger pandemic than COVID ever was.
>>744124905Such words...even I could...
>>744129579Mellua was a fattass even in J, to be fair
I'm still waiting for OG3rd to finish the @ plot...
>>744132668Im sure its coming right after OG collection on steam haha...
You know what i really hate about modern day srw? The fact that they removed map attack animations for your units, shit just drives me insane, its even worse when enemies have map attack animations, basic as they are, but you get just another reused cutscene
SRW T was the last game where mecha franchises were actually linked as a crossover (instead of doing their own things) even if there were some missed opportunities to push certain plot points>Ryouma was considered as a candidate for the Gundam Fight but the pre-events of Getter Robo Armageddon happened>Vicious has a partnership with The Claw, and Perriot the Clown is hired by the Martian Successors to take care of the SRW crew>The Claw plans to drop the Axis full of DG cells and Devil Gundam clones on Earth (Char never went crazy in this timeline)>Lady Debonair (from Magic Knight Rayearth) is leading the Space Monsters (from Gunbuster) to Earth
>>744128941
>>744136541T also gave us Office Lady bimbo, so 10/10 game.
>>744136541Adding Gaogaigar but leaving out the Final OVAs is honestly a letdown, feels like a waste even if it wouldn't fit the plot.
>>744112596I wish Infinite Battle was just a musou game.
>>744136541I liked the office lad, but OG story was really weak in this one>>744136961Good lord, someone needs to slap those jap fags and tell them quantity!=quality
>>744124470I agree on this.
>Stopped caring about gameplay (which was already middling) after Z1>Stopped caring about animations and writing after Z2>OG dead>Chiyoko gone>Terada gone, for better or worse
>>744112596Zero good new mecha anime to use in their games. SRWY is full shit franchises nobody gives a fuck about. Predatory awful DLCs, probably imposed by Bandai.
It kinda lost its way for a while with the worlds being separated within the narrative for a handful of games but they definitely got over that.I liked Y a lot.
>>744139989I didn't care for any of the (at the time) modern series in J and I still had fun with it.
>>744139989Has nothing to do with newer anime being bad, almost every mecha series under the sun has been in a game at some point and now banpresto are running out of series to put in. They're digging the bottom of the barrel and putting in literal who boomer series no gives a fuck about while stilling putting in the obvious picks like NGE and CCA which everyone is tired of.
>>744128173I'd fucking cum if they added F Type Eva again.
>>744140152>at the time recent series>SEED>FMP>MazinkaiserYou didn't like Mazinkaiser?gtfo
>>744140692>They're digging the bottom of the barrel and putting in literal who boomer series no gives a fuck aboutLiteral who boomer shit is the backbone of these games and most their settings.
>>744114237OG on PS2 without doubt
>>744112596Like most AA Japanese series under Bandai they've gone the route of half assing the main game while pumping out endless DLC to milk as much money as possible for as little work as possible.
>>744140879It's technically the movie for Mazinkaiser which I always felt was a huge letdown from the OVA.
>>744141035ok yah thats fair
>>744141035>I always felt was a huge letdown from the OVA.SameKing Hell Gordon is such a fucking kino fight that the General of Darkess just falls flat
>>744141254>OVA Testuya and Sayaka defeat Dr Hell's army by themselves>In the movie they just job meaninglesslyDisgusting, truly.
>>744141035I always got a kick out of how the entire movie was just trying to prevent Koji from getting in the Mazinkaiser.
>>744112596Poor writing.Writers take too few liberties with intertwining different series' plots often leading to the creation of multi-dimensional universets.Not to mention the awful concept of including a series in a game, only for it to be "post plot" so all you get are the characters and none of writing.
>>744112596Z
>>744112596Nothing at all, have played lot of games and all are great, the gaiden show us realistic version of robot, shin suoer robo also does the same, super robo gakuen has other elements, is great!!.
>>744112596Too easy and no more OG or OG SAGA games.They also don't add the good fucking series in the mainline games.
>>744112596it was gay
>>744144206Man, thunderbolt would be so much fun. Shame it's OYW era related and that is actually pretty uncommon for the franchise. That said, the surreal moment when Io and Daryl become both playable and have their Kamille/Jerid moment>Yeah, i killed some people you liked and you killed some people i like. But that's in the past, let's become adrenaline junkies together. And hey, your taste in music isn't half bad.
Shame I used to be such a fan of SRW that I've been playing the games untranslated, but now I didn't even care about SRW 30 or the newer one. They started to bloat these games with a shitton of missions and it's all easy af.
>>744146504Daryl would have to be a secret condition unlock.The entire plot does everything it can to make people realize Daryl is the villain
>>744140152J is fun.I like it.
after 30 I can't tell what's even left>graphics?chopped up, painfully obvious CGI models with mostly shit choeographies (the one of the base game's final boss is downright pathetic), laughable map graphics, menus with half a dozen different fonts, the gall to flat out use footage from the shows for attacks instead of sprite work and I swear that they forgot a cut-in of Gilliam during the Gespenst's final attack>audio?unless you fork over even more cash, enjoy stuff like Chin Requiem - Brap Editionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ZX2aox75Qalso, lol, licensing issues, apparently in Y>mechanics?it now has a fucking autoplay mode because there is no strategy or anything involved anymore besides "how fast can I break this map with a single unit" - HP/EN panels gone, SR points gone, objectives besides "kill everything" mostly gone, everyone has at least an A ranking in everything so terrain barely matters, etc.>story?got fucked by the new structure, half of it is "hi, I'm from a different dimension" "okay - join our team" and a bunch of debuts like Knight's and Magic were absolutely pityful - that thing is already just 12 eps long so why the fuck are you just adapting like one or two?!
>>744147350>it now has a fucking autoplay modeJesus that's grim. The mechanical depth was more or less sucked out over time but 30 really seems like the death knell for everything that made the series good. I couldn't get past the thirty hour long phase where every mission was just "Go to X place, fight Y mooks, recruit Z pilot". Series has been converted into a mobile game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1znqwF2U7UFuck Scamco Namdai for their OG treatment, but at least I get to see this fully animated
>>744112596too many random tiny franchises nobody ever heard of
So why should I be in the air instead of the ground when the ground gives me Stat bonuses? Also, why space no have bonuses?>>744134770Map attacks?
>>744149124If you think a unit is going to be targeted by an enemy that has poor attacks versus air targets it's better to be in the air. Also a unit may have an S in air but just an A or B on ground.
I really didn't mind Y outside of the attack animations. It made Dynazenon and Getter Arc enjoyable to me, two series I didn't like in their source material.
>>744136541Y brought back the crossover shit. For example, Shinn is the student of Domon.
>>744112596Will he ever come back?
They become less of a game and more of a pretty animation showcase, 30th was a sham.
>>744149528>and more of a pretty animation showcase>prettyIf only. The closest I can compare SRW in terms of animations is Gundam G-Gen, and nowadays it's like night and day. Granted, the later probably has more budget and creative freedom since it's just one franchise they own vs a lot of series they have to license, but still, doesn't take that SRW animations have been on decline for a while.
>>744112596Licensing and going HD fucked up the development of the series a lot also the success of Cross Omega and DDD made the console series irrelevant since they offered more interactions and fanservice with half the development time the only problem being that they're gacha slop. The only reason the franchise hasn't stopped is because 30 sold really well thanks to steam sales but Y was so unbelievably mid and boring that I honestly don't care because the next game is just going to have more UCslop, Gbitch, GQUUUUUUX and have DLC out the ass.
>>744149528Do people actually keep watching animations after seeing them the first time? Genuinely asking.
>>744112596No budget, and now no effort.
>>744149279I feel like the simple fact that we are seeing less OG Mecha series now than10 to 20 years ago means they have to eventually cycle back to older shows.
>>744149868>Do people actually keep watching animations after seeing them the first time?I mean some are literally just mp4 clips of the show now so what's the point?
>>744112596Mecha is cringe chud shit
>>744140152>>744146971My jigglers
Code geass Kallen.
>>744149868I like watching them every so often.Like whenever I want to listen to a certain unit's theme, I'll watch their animation.
>>744150018Wow, Tenia really gets mogged hard, huh?
i still need to finish Y
>>744128173Ariel and Asuka Eva por favor
>>744112596I CLAPPED when this happened.
>>744116046>rancid series list.YOU TAKE THAT BACK
>>744112596did not capitalize their strengths
never played any of this, but as a spic, I saw Mazinger Z and Power Rangers growing up, I imagine at least Mazinger Z shows up in a few games, what about Galient?
Reminder that Franx will never be in SRW.
I tried Alpha Gaiden earlier this year and the last level on normal route filtered me so fucking hard and I havent lived it down. I tried everything but it became a not fun so I gave up. It was really good though. Especially as a Turn a and Xabungle fan. Id kill for Turn A to be the gundam rep but we're almost always going toget weird new shit now.
>>744150884Good. I've never seen a second half destroy a show so bad since Valvrave.
>>744150170She had to give up something for those subpilot bonuses and spirit abilities.
>>744149868Depends how chuuni I am that day. I fucking HATE the new 3d they use for units now though
>>744150653I unironically love Brain Powerd. Top 3 non-gundam tomino anime for me.
>>744150783Mazinger and Mazinger Z are usually a staple of the franchise with Gundam and Getter. Sentai only gets in the Gacha slop. Galient got in a few games. Also thst anime has a fucking amazing opening and ending song https://youtu.be/vvNRj7aYshg
>>744112596It's a miracle SRW is still alive given the state of the game industry frankly, it's one of those smaller franchises that could have died with the jump to HD.
>>744150935Little witch academia and Gundam iron blood orphans also had destructive second halfs.
Did anons like Y?Are we getting more content for it?
>>744150774Do you have the animation she does when using that "someone at random get healed, someone at random get fucking destroyed" attack?
>>744151124what games should I get, I have a switch and a 3ds, I am fine buying physical
>>744151113I was in a rut and couldnt play games or watch anime for a few years and Brain Powerd got me out of it. And not only that I never really got Tomino anime outside of 0079 and would always drop them. G reco filtered me. Then suddenly I fucking understood him. It also helped me understand and forgive my fucked up parents.I got so obsessed with it I found the OP singer does streams on youtube every saturday and watch her a lot. Fucking brain powerd man
>>744151308I started with the new era with VXT but maybe veterans can give you a better suggestion.
>>744151207IBO is an interesting case because apparently there was a lot of staff drama going on in the background including that the director seemingly coming to absolutely despise the main characters.Franxx and Valvrave just seemed like piss poor planning. I believe a post-series interview with Franxx even had the producer state they literally had no plans after episode 15 and hoped to figure "something" out for the ending.
Anyone play the Y DLC? I need to know how rapey the cross ange stuff is for...reasons.
>>744112596SRW30 is great.
>>744150950who's this, can I romance her?
>>744151390>IBO is an interesting case because apparently there was a lot of staff drama going on in the background including that the director seemingly coming to absolutely despise the main charactersIt can't be as bad as Eureka 7.God damn it hurts. Why does he keep doing ruining Eureka 7. Who fucking hurt him.
>>744151140The costs of making an SRW have to be next to nothing given how much egregious recycling the series does.
>>744151449Not much like it was with V and X. They brought the series back because Embryo tried to use Ideon for his plans.
>>744151485Its Blossom from Powerpuff Girls and yes actually. At least in J.
>>744151250Yeah, big SRW stream on Friday, with a JAM Project concert and Y/DD news.
>>744151313man I should watch brainpowerd so I can forgive my shitty parents and/or laugh at anon for getting his life changed from an actually bad showonly tomino I havnt seen besides gainer and g reco
>>744151506>It can't be as bad as Eureka 7.Holy fuck. I was so damn shocked when the creator even went out of his way to fuck over the characters from the games by making Sumner into a cuck in the movie verse, like holy fucking shit does the man despise for the franchise know no limits.>>744151485Kind of. The male protagonist from J, Touya, can end up in a relationship with one of his 3 sub pilots based on who you pair him the most with. She's one of the 3 sub pilots.
>>744150935I liked Valvrave better then Franx, but both really were THAT Anime of the Season, like Guilty Crown.>>744151207I actually found IBOs ending strangely cathartic with what a big shit it was. Plus i didn't mind Rustal "winning" and it basically turning into a shitpost, it is absolutely a "Only works once" though and i don't wanna see that stunt repeated.
>>744151313"i can fix anon" -brain powerd
>>744151390Nowadays IBO is remembered for two things: MC got an underage girl pregnant...because she ashed for it and MC dying like a bitch.
>>744151656Valware was added to SRW (cross omega) so is, by default, better than Franx.
>>744151752Dont forget the Orga memes.
>>744151605Nta but, I can see where he is coming from. For as unhinged, as silly and bizarre as it may seem. BP has a lot of nuance and the things it says ARE sound. It's a show about childrens and parents, how mistakes of one affect the other, and how to overcome it. Again, weird funky lines, it was a bit of a slog at times, and i think Yuu could have had a tighter development. But i mellowed to it in recent years as i too understood why my parents are the way they are. All in all, Tomino Kino.
>>744151605>gainerGainer was a really fun show. I like happy Tomino more than Kill-'em-all Tominohttps://youtu.be/vWj5_LQ_uo0?si=7oDVoPMjJPq-YK4Q
>>744151605Brain Powerd will at least make you laugh at how batshit it becomes. And the Yoko Kanno music is so good it made women lactate. Its an entertaining mess but I loved it I remember reading Tomino got pulled out of his own mother's funeral for yelling about her or something so yeah.
>>744151752I would say Orga went down like a bitch, but Mika and Space Guts went down in a pretty fitting way. It would have been better if Mika killed Juliet as well.
>>744112646FPBP
>>744151842I can't stop laughing whenever I heard that song, it's the same with the school days song, you know which one.
>Devs can clearly do animations still as seen with the Lunedrache and its upgrades>Devs refuse to do itI don't get it
>>744151583They're adding more shit after the expansion?
>>744151954It's likely less refuse to do it, and more are far too spread thin budget and team-wise, especially with the DLC units. Jeeg should have been in the base roster with just how good his attacks look.
>>744151885Orga's haircut was retarded, HE DESERVED TO DIE LIKE A BITCH!
>>744151906KIBOU NO HANAAAAA
>>744112596Budget cuts, I guess. Their technical and sprite quality was visibility improving each title, then it started going backwards.They are still trying with what little they can get.
>>744151842KACHITORITAI
meh, I prefer G Generation now
>>744149124yes, map attackshttps://youtu.be/R9ey1pfOhNQ?t=1
>>744152026They probably saved a last expansion so the 35th anniversary isn't empty
>>744152026Seemingly, no idea on what it could be or who/what is in it though. It could just be a small update with a few new stages and some reused stuff from VXT30, could be a bunch more series.
>>744151842
So, how was SRW Y? Been thinking about picking it up. Did Bamco do anything to fuck it all up?
>>744152325>Didn't replace the titan with a car
>>744152426It's a lot better than 30 both in terms of story, actual crossing over and gameplay. Base roster isn't the greatest and there 3 and soon maybe 4 sets of DLC packs that sorta muddle everything up, and the animation quality is still a bit all over, but it's a definitely improvement and there is some great stuff in it.
>>744151605King Gainer is somehow the greatest gaming anime ever made, and the gaming part is mostly just in the background.
>>744152560Fixed alot of the wrongs of 30. There's a few things that need to improve but overall more good things than bad things.
>>744151642>o fuck over the characters from the games by making Sumner into a cuck in the movie verse, like holy fucking shit does the man despise for the franchise know no limits.Holy shit I know nothing about the games I didn't even know anything about this. I bet he refused to let them use the OG Eureka 7 in the DLC
>>744151882Xabungle was great Happy Tomino too.
>>744152560>>744153061Did they fix the almost total elimination of transformable units, terrain bonuses, unit costs, and such?
>>744153894They doubled down and removed all transformable units, even Zeta and Bilbine don't transform anymore.
>>744152426>>744152560Fighting Godzilla was the coolest shit everyone got unique lines for it.
>>744150190Me neither, i keep going back, but the amount of dlc missions keep increasing so im not making any progress
>>744154115>everyoneOnly a few get proper dedicated lines for it, mostly just the new series and a few characters who VAs came back for other voles/DD voice work.
>>744151250I liked it a lot more than 30. Game felt way more balanced around playing every stage than 30 did.
>>744151250I love how every OC character has megamilks. The shop girl looks like she was supposed to be heavily pregnant but got changed.
I think @G and GBA OG2 were the ideal level of difficulty and they should really try to go back to that.
I think the funny thing about people who bitch that 30 and Y are too long is the simple fact the game is designed to be played at your own pace. You don't need to play everything and the game can be beaten under 2 hours if you just do the main missions
>>744152242i want to see who's the next series to get the Jeeg treatment.
>>744149868It's more for the voice lines than anything.
>>744152426Bloated mess with shitty animation and bad writing.
>>744151880I absolutely love the design of Brains at a glancethen I remember the whole vagina and womb imagery and I remember it was one of THOSE Tominoisms
>>744149868I used too, when games didnt take 150+ hours to beat. Now usually i only turn it on the killing attack or if i want to change the bgm.
>>744155298They even got rid of SRs or whatever.
>Still no 86 repWell fuck you too
>>744149868Yeah. Not all the time but for the first couple runs I used to watch animations more than I skipped them, especially because you had to choose to keep or skip them during the battle preview.But many weren't that long while keeping cool attacks and coreography, then the meme animations taking as long as Sephiroth's Supernova began taking place.
>>744156264No one will ever care about 86
>>744156380I do
This thread made me realize I don't care about mecha anime ever since 2014 and probably would have no idea what some debut series would be.
>>744112596How many people from Code geass did the game have ?
>>744112596I’m not a difficulty-fag but it’s too easy now. It all went downhill when they started to weaken the terrain effects. Final nail in the coffin was choose-your-own-mission bs which killed the pacing and the made every stage generic.
>>744156876Same roster as 30, which is the basic movie roster (Gekkoei Sui, Guren and Lancelot) plus that one black Lancelot, but this time you can use the armored versions of the movie's Guren and Lancelot. Also one backstory mission has you playing as Guren SEITEN against the other playable X CG units as the TV series finale.
>>744155358>You don't need to play everything and the game can be beaten under 2 hours if you just do the main missionsHow was anyone supposed to know that 90% of the game is irrelevant filler missions? Anyway the series has really stayed too far from the WWII analogy that made it great. It’s just anime episode retreads with crossover dialogue now. The high stakes world war setting is long gone
>>744112596All of the new mechanics they add to help the player are shit that do nothing to shake up the foundational gameplay, I preferred the squad system they had going on for a while even if it took a little more micromanaging. I also think I'm the only guy in the world who wouldn't mind a game where they go back to the classic and static SD sprites, so long as they're well illustrated. I'd rather look at something like the 2014 SRW HD remake than the awful pseudo-3d sprites they're using now, and it'd mean better unit variety too.
>>744151605I watched it because J got me interested. Early episodes have a very obviously small budget for animation, but I had a good time with it overall, as someone who isn't great at reading into all the deeper meanings of things, I enjoyed it about as much as Eva.
>>744155298They need to take more inspiration for the writing from the older games too, nothing in modern SRW even comes close to touching some of the stuff in @G. That mission where Kouji has to sort all the familial bullshit out with Tetsuya with the Getter event happening in the background is the peak of the series for me.
>>744150023Geass is for bullying and skipping all the dialogue.
>>744150326https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddoXcPROSAU&t=600sWhat is it about adapting AIR into a crossover event stage that makes it so kino
>>744149868At least once for every possible line variation for both your own units and the enemies
>>744156264I'm okay with it as long as they skip S1 and we go straight into the fun part.
>>744151605>hasn't seen King GainerYou're not living your life correctly, fix thathttps://nyaa.si/view/1790633
>>744157109Y's Master mode is on the right track on the difficulty department.However SRW in general needs to go back on their old map designs.
>>744160804It's still way too easy and they almost entirely refuse to make strong bosses.
>>744162915Its only easy if you use the gifts they give you for buying the Ultimate Version and DLC.Otherwise at least on the early game they are tough.
>>744112596The HD full transition with SRW T killed the spirit of the series- the older games had more passion put into them in the animations, with the ultimate attacks actually translating to that, as they took time and entire sequences to show. The last decade of games all that build up is nonexistent and mostly feel like mere flash animations- The plot was better, with writers taking the effort to combine series settings and development. Nowdays it is always "Hi I come from another dimension, let me join you". One of the best memories for me is the EoE stage in MX, with Asuka at first dealing with the Dragonar bad guys army making up for the JSSDF and then your guys doing a boson jump with the nadesico right when she is about to get fuckedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfYupka6OJIThe entire Alpha series is where the series shined the brightest imohell, those games even had various little cutscenes like this to show the fucking robots:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA9dgMuX4LEit is all gone now
>>744163372NUR Y Master is easier than A Portable.
>>744163547also, no new OG gamesMoon Dwellers and its shitty "translation" was terrible and we never get to saw the Banpreios in its separated mechs form, truly a shame
>>744163598Not gonna debate you there. I stated that Master mode is on the right track, not that it's harder than A Portable.
>>744163667I agree that it's on the right track, but it's still too easy. It's very hard to game over when the game gives you so many deployment slots. They still need to either significantly increase enemy quality or count.
everyone says srw is an easy series compared to other srpgs but I remember having a hard time with the og games on the gba. that one level where you fight the inspectors in space that you weren't supposed to win but had to anyway to unlock some secret shit took me like 3 hours of save state abuse. was I just retarded and playing the game wrong?
>>744163925no, that is the only way to get the super duper items, even Mekibos comments on it if you do it lol
>>744163925Save abuse is a feature in SRW. They more or less intend for you to do it that way. SRW varies in difficulty wildly, usually when people are talking about the games being very easy they're talking about the past decade or so of the series, I would say that the older games usually challenge you at least a little and some are pretty hard.
>>744163971how were you expected to be able to do it playing on real hardware?
>>744164083You make a square on the White Star with its massive terrain boosts and you whittle away at them. You can save at any time in these games so you can do the same save abuse, it just takes longer. It's not really a question of your units being threatened, it's more a question of your hitrates declining as their Potential rises.
>>744164083you can't, as the enemies that appear are basically end game bosses and the whole objective is for you to run away like a bitchthe trick to beat them abusing the moon base terrain and savescumming like crazy is not intended for the first time you play it
THE TRUE LAST GREAT SRW WAS Z2 FOR LETTING YOU USE 00 S1 AND WING TV GUNDAMShttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gpgMuHlIgA
>>744163971But if you can manage to beat them then you really don't need the super duper items. You are already good enough without them.
>>744164326no because you get some reeeeeeaaaally broken stuff and the units you control in that stage are kind shit, in fact, only the Hiryu Kai gets to level up decently
>>744164378The weapons are pretty good but they're not substantially stronger than other attacks you have access to. They're mostly nice for handing off to people that need kill counts for secrets who otherwise have lackluster options. The Steel Soul and Hero's Mark are just alright on EX-Hard unless you're doing no upgrades period, mostly because bulk isn't a concern otherwise. The Custom CPU is really good, that's fair.
I liked @2 because the Ibis route showed the Crossbone gundam plot

>>744165614You could save Jill in V though
>>744165657V for Switch/PC/Vita
>>744150653Brain Powerd is interesting on its own, but it's not really a show that works great in SRW. The structure is weird, the (broader) conflict is vague, the conclusion is abstract. It's no wonder Alpha 2 turned Orphan into lol colony drop just as a means of giving some meat to Brain Powered
They need to do more with the series and have them crossover more seriously. Just having them go through their own storyline with others in the background is lame. You should have people piloting mechs from other series more.
>>744165825> it's not really a show that works great in SRW. The structure is weird, the (broader) conflict is vague, the conclusion is abstract.Anon they put Cowboy Bebop in.
>>744165982So? They didn't actually try to do its story.They did with Brain Powered and it didn't work so goodThen again, J didn't have the best writing in general
>>744146504Man, I want an SRW with an OYW focus again
>>744165721I'm talking about the cool mentor character that dies in episode 3
>>744112646Fippy Bippy
why Aqua has to dress like a turboslut to pilot a robot?
>>744150296>Asuka EvaPoor man's version of Diebuster.
>>744165738amazing V it is, any other SRW I can get, bonus pts if it has lolis I can romance, but can absolutely enjoy just big robots punching the shit out of an alien or robot just as fine, thank you, anon.
>>744165140>DaimidalerYeah because we really need a series where the main villains are fucking penguins.
>decide to start new game plus in SRW 30>remember the bloat halfway through>stop and play J again insteadIs it my autism or the game?
>>744165140We got Patlabor in SRW OE
>>744112596Not enough Diebuster.
>>744166537Both. 30 is definitely a better game than J, but no one would disagree that it's bloated
>>744166496Yes.
>>744165825>It's no wonder Alpha 2 turned Orphan into lol colony drop just as a means of giving some meat to Brain PoweredLook, Char is dropping a fucking rock and going Beyond The Time to Full Retard.>TFW that route allows you to convince Haman to go against Char
>>744166808>Alpha 3 confirms this isn't the canon route
>>744166808I liked that one because all the UC baddies showed up
>>744166678If only they added Zerorymer and Great Zerorymer to 30...
>>744166950Aside from Scirocco and all the Titan villains not named Yazan and his goons.
>>744165547This. 3 and 4 are the definitive SRW games.
>>744112596Banpresto dissolved
>>744167448Maybe if you like mediocre writing and Winkysoft jank.
>>744166987The only cool thing about Zeorymer is its design. Its attacks are boringAlso you could always play MX instead of J if you Zerorymer, MX is vastly better than either J or 30He's calling you.
>>744166808I got that route by playing like a retard with no knowledge of moonrunes.That's how much I enjoyed SRW. I would recognize some words/kanji by exposure and context but mostly the ones attached to attacks, menus and spirit commands.That's how much I enjoyed this series.Back in mid 2000s a friend noticed I was playing Fire Emblem on my gba and he told me about this game with "cool robots" that played similarly. It was OG2.Back then I wasn't even aware of the mecha genre in general other than cultural osmosis by anime exposure. Then I discovered that other games in this series had a crossover element and they had Gundam Wing guys among them etc.I don't even know when the @G .iso got translated but that was the first one other than GBA OGs that I got to play in English.Good times and god bless MNeidengard FAQs with general plot beat explanation.
battle moon wars was better
>>744167690>God bless YUGOneidengard
I like mecha but I really can't get into what /m/ recommends when they say to watch 50 episodes of some show for 5 year olds like Might Gaine
>>744167739I don't give a fuck about this SRW clone without any of the cool series and giant robots.
>>744126560Pic unrelated
>>744167767If you want something short, Gunbuster is 6 episodes long and all time classic for a reason. You could knock it out tonight.
>>744167739The UI is so fucking bad that I couldn't start it.
>>744167767The only 50 episode mecha anime I would still shill is probably Zeta Gundam and that may be nostalgia and strong emotions talking.
Just started this, it's absolutely amazingThe only word for it is grand
>>744167767Watch Diebuster!
>>744167739What even happened to the devs after they finished it?
Give it to me straight, or gay, is GaoGaiGar worth watching as an adult?
Why does Raijin-Oh have such a godly theme song and a giantess fetish episode?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKYQ8YMljzMAlso, I have the PS2 OG games on my backlog. I need to get to them.
>>744168396No.
>>744112596The same thing that went wrong with Tales, Soul Calibur, Im@s etc
>>744168396Yes.
>>744168404Same singer as Priss
>>744168396It's alright but there's a lot of boring stuff in the first third before the plot finally starts going somewhere.Final on the other hand is fucking awful, just overly dramatic edgy bullshit that isn't worth watching at all.
>>744168396If you know it from SRW, I would give it a chance.It is a children's anime but it's always satisfying to really see how some series were adapted, especially when their plot was well integrated into the crossover, like GGG was in @ and W, for example.But I'd say GGG is one of these series that SRW made better.
>>744168396I'm of the opposite opinion of the previous anon, the show kinda drops of a cliff in the second half, the plot isn't interesting, the only unique and cool part about the show is the teamwork and tool aspects, the creative problem solving approach to fight scenes, you really only see in the first half.
>>744168396Young adult were you are actually self-conciouss about watching a toy commercial for toddlers? No.Actual adult who doesn't give a shit anymore? Yeah.
>>744168774The thing is about engaging writing and an interesting show, I dropped Raijin-Oh because despite the pretty cool schoolwide transformation scene, the rest of the show was utter dreck
>>744168835Yeah, that's true. Don't let it keep from the other Eldrans though, Ganbaruger and Gosaurer are both way better. The former reveling in how utterly absurd and bizarre it can get while also focusing on the families of the three main kids instead of the whole class, the latter being a little more mature and having an actual plot
I just want to see cross over of various giant robots doing giant robot things, my only real complaint is how animations feel like they've declined despite being flashier. I used to have this issue with G Gen specifically, but now both series have devolved into the same lazy style attack animation flow with no sense of feeling dynamic (instead having this samey fake dynamic look of dodge dodge hit formula that gets old fast.)Oh and personal preference, but would love a crossover with Gad Guard and Big O together.
one of the shows I watched because of SRW was Getter Robo Armageddon and idk why it's one of my favorites.Even though you know the good guys will win in the end, you still get the feeling shit's fucked up and hopeless when the drama is taking place. Makes their final victory very satisfying.
Is my boy Casshan in any of them?
Baldios is a good showhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPNvYfQOkjU
>>744168396its not bad but it is very much a children's show full of monster of the week filler episodes, don't expect high art
>>744169046My man, had exact same experience myself with this show and Macross 7.
>>744166950Gundam in the Alpha series was a trip >OYW stopped due to SDF-1(Macross) falling/Aliens are out there and kick Earth's ass>EF & Zeon get into a cold war for a bit>Thanks to the combined setting & tech, Gundam development goes nuts>The events of 0079, 0080, 0083, Victory & F91 AND Wing TV happen on top of each other during Alpha 1>Zeta Gundam is based off of Wing Gundam's battle data.>Angel Halo can fuck up Side 3>The Titans are a presence in Alpha 1, Alpha Gaiden & 2. Yazan survives to Alpha 3.>Endless Waltz happens but it's not THAT important >Alpha Gaiden's bad future is Turn A Gundam feat. Gundam X(w/Xanbungle)>Crossbone Gundam shit happens in Alpha 2(because in part of fuckery due to Alpha 1/Gaiden) aka The Jupiter Empire is PISSED>Char & the Zeon All-Stars do the Axis Drop>Then in Alpha 3, the events of Gundam SEED happen and it's explained that the Coordinators were ALWAYS there! Just on the other side of Earth.
Is it normal to be confused watching Reconguista in G? I gave it 4 episodes then had to admit I got filtered
never played one of these and there's a sale on steam what's a good entry point?
>>744167656Will do after I'm done with J, I'm currently too into it. Thanks for the suggestion, Anon.
>>744169058Nope, I think the only full Tatsunoko show in SRW is Tekkaman Blade and its sequel in J and W.
>>744169115Does anyone really expect or want high art when watching a mecha show?My concern with it is mostly that shows like Getter Armageddon and TTGL do the same shit as GGG but better>>744169203The best entry point is whatever game has the shows you like the mostThese games are really all the fucking same when you get down to it
>>744169203The Fan translated Original Generations PS2 game.

>>744169203PS2 OGs or SRW V are good entry points if you don't care or are looking for specific shows. If you're already into mecha anime go for the one that has the most of your favorites.

>>744169501this man doesn't drink his coffee black
>>744169501That is just how 80s anime was.
>>744169501Yeah, it's awesome
>>744169186It's one of the weirder shows from Tomino with very niche fanbase, don't worry about it. Most people haven't bothered to watch it and dropped it earlier than you have. There's not much pay off in the end either, it's just a jumbled mess of ideas Tomino had.
>>744169501the idea of a giant robot is inherently retardedthat's why you should stop asking for gritty shit and start looking shows that quadruple down on the retardation and are as insane as possible
>>744169501It's Rambo on space with vague Nietzche overtones.

>>744169474This. OG games are interesting but they have no crossover element to it other than meta-series crossover it's based on. But no famous anime franchises. OG1 & 2 have properly English releases for GBA but good luck finding copies.@Gaiden has a great story and challenging maps but it's emulation only unless you somehow know japanese and grab an original copy.And that's the same for most of the games maybe until VTX you can find on western e-shops.

>>744169186It's a very busy show and pretty much everything is a clusterfuck and part of the show is just watching the characters reacting to the ever worsening clusterfuck without really knowing what to do.The movies fix it up a bit.Aida is hot.
>>744169501That's anything "mature" in the 80s. It's not just anime.That decade was something else.
I dunno about you guys but I remember my mind fucking exploded 20 years ago when they released this promo video fo te OG games for PS2:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLGfkgxGpIs
>>744169689>good luck finding copiesDifferent Anon here but I managed to grab a sealed box copy of OG 1 from italy once for like 20 euros a couple of years ago, game's still in english.
>>744169705Haha how funny, she was a tomboy though and open minded about some femdom stuff but always told me to tell her to stop if I felt she was too rough. Too bad we had to go different ways.
>>744170103So again, how girthy was her penis
>>744169963For me it's the Z2 cast leaking and everybody thinking it was fake because it was too good to be true.Or that one Z1 trailer with the Japanese reactions.
>>744169963Some OG animations were too long but this specific style was the series' peak.>>744169975That's rad.
>>744170129Well it wasn't anything from Dragon Dildo, just the run off your mill strap on and her favorite vibrator
Is there a term for shows where each episode is its own little story? I'm not sure if it's MOTW exactly, because every MOTW show I've seen follows a pretty strict formula, when the episodic shows I like can be quite varied
>>744170315Episodic.
>>744170315This just reminded me of that one Nadesico episode the engineering guy gets along with the glasses girl because both like painting robot models or something like that.
>>744170412>tfw no meganekko gunpla gf
>>744170163>that's radI know, right? Least to say I opened it carefully so I can play, collectors can suck my dick.
Super Robot Wars MS(Metal Souls)>Astro Boy 2003>Mega Man>Bubblegum Crisis>Patlabor>Black Magic M-66>SD Gundam Force>Kikaider 2001>Cyborg 009>Cutey Honey>Metabots>Heroman>Super Sonic Borgman
If you ever get the chance, try playing an Elemental Sandwich. You play the first half of masoukishin, then play through SRW 2-EX, and finish the rest of the first game.
I started watching Astro Boy 2003, it's utterly amazing
>>744170479>Bubblegum CrisisThat's one of these series that reminded me that anime can just be fucking fun to watch. Also>Super Boomers are antagonists
>>744165472The same thing applies to the superior PS2 remake.Also 90% of the fanbase hasn't played shit like OGG.
>>744166678>30 is definitely a better game than JLOL
>>744166678>30 is definitely a better game than JMaybe on planet retard.
>>744170958I just want to see Astranagant in OGverse but I'll die before it happens.
>>744170315AnthologyBe sure to watch Space DandyNot only is every episode its own story, every episode is practically in a completely different genre than the previous episode
>>744170593It has some awesome animation >>744170479>Stardroids vs. The World's Strongest Robots
>>744171136Did you know that Astranagant already had an OG HD sprite that was used in an Idolmaster crossover? Same for non-Magna mode Gunleon.
Recs for mecha visual novels?
>>744171436I didn't. All I heard is they gave Ingram another boss mech for OG because of GBA color palettes but that may be an urban legend or whatever.I don't even think we even ever got Werkbau either. RIP OG. The Space Jews arc was kino.
>>744170593Every chapter with Nlue Knight is legit amazing and the resolution to the robotania arc is incredible. Enjoy it, anon, great little show.
>>744167739>>744170479I'm a simple man, and there's only one potential SRW spin-off I'll accept
>>744171436They'll give us the Astranagant in some random Idolmaster game but they won't give us the Astrangant in the main titles people actually care about.
>>744172515Thank Cobray
>>744167739Saber was like a fucking Grungust, bitch hits hard and tanks everything but has no range.
>>744172515Idols have enough factors to summon it
>>744172357What magical girl show should I watch if I loved Cardcaptor Sakura? I tried Pretty Cure, Ojamajo Doremi, Sailor Moon and Shugo Chara, but found them all completely bland and the writing had that awful quality of being braindead
>Slowly refinding my love of Zoids>suddenly get very sad its only rep was the PSP game nobody liked I'm very sad now....
>>744172810Utena. Don't ask questions.
>>744149241Yeah for all of Y's flaws they definitely nailed the crossover elements at least in the main game
>>744125381Call me crazy but I think the GBA version of Everywhere You Go has the best punchy sound to it.Alpha 3's version of "The Sword the Cleaves Evil" is fucking amazing though.
>>744172832Not a fan of yuri
>>744168019Genuinely one of my favorite anime of all time.
>>744172832But doctor I've already seen Utena, it was alright, maybe I'm just too low IQ for Ikuhara, I mean I didn't understand Penguindrum or SarazanmaiI liked the music a lot>ZETTAI>UNMEI>MOKUSHIROKU
>>744163651>BanpreiosBanpreeoth
>>744172810I'm going to ignore your taste and slander and will chose to answer your question.I think the issue if you're aiming more for the "team" side of magical girls instead of one magical girl doing stuff and sometimes gets help, like what CCS did. Try Saint Tail and Princess Tutu, they're really more of the vibe of Cardcaptor Sakura than something like Sailor Moon
>>744125184>They are putting their eggs all in DD's basket with no sign of stopping.I feel that this is 110% that this is the case. Gatcha makes way more money than any of the games ever did for less effort. Why the hell wouldn't they keep doing it. It's the same thing as Komani and SNK during their pachinko phase, only less yakuza influence.
>/v/ thread has better mecha discussion than /a/ or /m/
>>744132668I think OGs3 is going to be the final OG SRW game.
>>744173086Same thing happened to G Generation. No way they'll make a new console game now that Eternal is one of Bandai's best selling gacha games alongside Dokkan
>>744115442AP wasn't challenging, it was tedious.
It still upsets me greatly that Godannar doesn't have a stronger SRW presence
>>744169689>OG1 & 2 have properly English releases for GBA but good luck finding copies.Nevermind finding copies, would the batteries on those carts even be working anymore?
>>744173191That's very optimistic, anon.
>>744163651>we never get to saw the Banpreios in its separated mechs form, truly a shameIf this comes out in OGs3 I'll die a happy man.Part of me feels like they're going to pull a part 1 and part 2 of OGs3. Alpha 3 had a "and then people fought for a long time" as a timeskip early on, and SRW W has a time skip as part of its story.
>>744163547Maybe I'm old and just miss sprites but personally I don't like how authentic they are attempting to be since Z and it often feels like they are using series accurate cut-ins to cover for poor and/or lack of animation.
>>744173632No, you're not alone. Things definitely feel wrong. Feels empty.
>>744173310AP is challenging, it requires you to maintain square formations more than any other SRW through EWAC and enemy quality is high. Mostly what makes the game tedious is people not engaging with hitting the retreat conditions on bosses, properly raising your average level by doing so along with the parts and funds makes the game significantly easier. There's also weapon upgrades having crazy scaling that some people might miss but that's a strategy issue.
>>744149868I do for the shows and characters I really really like
>>744150783Gallient appeared in SRW BX for 3DS.
>>744173173that thread just has oldfags posting nonsense, it is barely about the games actually>>744173627if anything, I'd like to see HOW the SRX gets destroyed, in @3 by the time we get to see it the thing is barely held together with ducttape and can't even attackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7qMdvBo6lo
>>744173504I live in hope anon. I don't sit around watching every scrap of news praying for OGs3, but if it's announced, I'll be hyped beyond belief.But after seeing how long it's taking to make this single OG game, I think the OG series is canned. Terada said something about COVID, but I don't think that reason flies anymore. They've definitely made a pivot towards gatcha, plus all the zoomers and younger kids like superheroes and medieval european fantasy over mecha.
>>744173870>that thread just has oldfags posting nonsense, it is barely about the games actuallyI find it comforting I can find other fans who suffer like me waiting for a new OG game. It's like a group therapy session.
>>744173920I hope we see it one day too, it just doesn't seem realistic to me.
>>744173698Dunno mate, all the strategy in the world can't help you when the bosses have insane HP, you do jack shit of damage and barely have options to heal yourself.Having to upgrade each weapon INDIVIDUALLY with almost non existant funds doesn't help.
>>744173870I think part 1 is going to have SRX in it. Killing it at the end of part 1 would be too much of a dickpunch, so maybe it goes away in an epilogue mission or very early in Part 2.>>744174026I mean they did say they ARE working on OGs3. I just know the realities of game development is that until the game's out it can be canned or delayed at a moment's notice.>>744174103Ah so like OG1 and OG2 on the GBA.
>>744174103The bosses actually have less HP than even OG1 bosses and you have weapons with higher firepower. I'm sorry, but this is just a skill issue, anon. OG2 regularly throws Vindel-tier enemies at you.
>>744173870>I'd like to see HOW the SRX gets destroyedin the alpha timeline the SRX gets decomissioned by the feddies along the team, just with like many other machines due to being too powerfulby the time the balmar attack again they hastily put together the machine but, since the space jews fully studied the SRX from tip to toe as it was one of the most powerful earth machines, they developed all the tactics to properly counter it, nevermind the fact Ingram was (an unwilling) spy in the first place and had a hand constructing the thing, so of course the Balmar knew all about itin the OG timeline I don't think they can even use the same excuse, as at this point there are so many alien factions that are somewhat in good terms with earth so the balmar alone are able to fuck up all the earth forces, including the SRX team at this point? unlikely
>>744174186>The bosses actually have less HP than even OG1 bosses and you have weapons with higher firepowerDid we really play the same game, anon? AP is known for having quite the damage sponge bosses like MX portable.
>>744174186>OG2 regularly throws Vindel-tier enemies at you.Reply to this post if you beat the Inspectors the first time they appeared in OGs2.
>>744174342Yes, the game where my MC can easily do over 50,000 damage in one shot while getting supported for another 20-30,000.
>>744174165>they did say they ARE working on OGs3really? that was in a interview or something? and if so, how long ago?
>>744174359
>>744174375>MC can easily do over 50,000 damageLate game? Sure. I'm talking about the early game where you barely have resources to keep your units up with the bosses who easily do half your HP in one attack while you slooooowly peel away theirs while hoping they miss.
not sure how to feel about a couple of YT channels I found about, but since 2 months ago thay are generating AI vocal songs using all the songs from the OG mechs and characters
>>744174551AP has you learn Valor on most pilots between 10-15. If you puzzle out the solution to killing the bosses in the early chapters instead of letting you retreat them, you hit that pretty early. Deimos notably learns it at 10 and he's one of your best units. Shiro learns it at 12 and FAG is one of the better suits in the game, even regular Grandpa is fine too. The problem comes when you don't get those early boss kills and a bunch of people join your party at a much lower level and drag your average down, which makes you take several more chapters to reach it, but if you play the early-game right, it's not an issue and you'll have Valor to spend on tough targets.
>>744174327They'll just make Balmar super powerful to the point that they destroy both SRX and the Hagane, probably to shove the tronium from both into the Banpreios.And possibly the SRX using the Hagane's buster cannon as HTB as last resort in that event.
>>744174774>in the early chapters instead of letting you retreat themInstead of letting them retreat.
>>744128173god feels so weird its like watching an alternate universe where Japan started making their own Roger rabbit-like movies
>>744174774I remember in AP I put all my eggs in Domon because he seemed like an amazing boss killer, then when he upgrades to the God Gundam his strongest attack is actually weaker than the burning finger because he doesn't have all his moves yet so I had to get extremely precise to get the boss kills.
>>744174792Hey this sketch looks cool as fuck
>>744174359Did it in both games, Gilliam is rather useless in GBA because the rifle is a beam weapon so it gets HP absorbed by them.
>>744174456Like when they were doing SRW 30 interviews. Another reason they had all the OG units in 30 was to tide people over until OG3. I think they hoped OGs3 would be the next one, but got bogged down.
>>744174927That might be the case before he transforms into Hyper Mode, pretty sure Shining sucks without Hyper too, but once he does he has access to the strongest combo and attacks in the game. You don't even get God Gundam before Hyper Mode.
>>744150783Mazinger es Pilar de la franquicia, son muy pocos o casi nada de juegos que dejan fuera a Mazinger
>>744173996I miss those OGs like you wouldn't believe.
>>744166808>TFW that route allows you to convince Haman to go against Chari mean out of every Char Groupie, Haman was the most likely to backstab him becuase he kept cuntblocking her
If the new OG isn't done by Monolithsoft, I don't fucking want it.
>>744168396its kinda weird as it is stil very much a toy selling anime of the time, but as the toyline got cancelled they wanted to make an special send off to commemorate the franchise so shit just goes off
>>744169203read the featured series list of any game, you watched or like any of them? theres your game enjoy
>>744168396I have a lot of nostalgia for it since I'm an oldfag who watched it a decade ago. In my memory half the appeal was in it being a pretty entertaining monster of the week show that gets a surprise actual plot in its second half. The last episode was also one of my faves of any anime to this day.Don't listen to the faggot shitting on Final either. Its "edgy" and heavy on fanservice because its made years later for the teen/adult otaku audience who are the only people who would care about a GGG followup. Its pure hype but with a pretty boring middle.
>>744168396If you need to ask you're not an adult
>>744175617This is a retarded meme response
>>744112596They fired Terada and let some retards who have no idea what they're doing handle the series and killed OG and MasoukishinMasaki's story will never end, until Green River dies we will only have him appearing as DLC saying that cyflash broke (again)
>>744169186Tomino wanted to make a dynasty anime but did not have the fucking balls or dedication to follow 3 generations back to back with proper fleshing out so you get that mess instead>also the main design gundam design sucks balls
>>744175652It's a retarded meme question
>>744113003He did not retire, he became a "consulting freelancer" for the series which is corporate speak for they made him quit. NOT equal to firing him which is hard to do in Japan, but ALSO not equal to "he left of his own volition" which is clearly not the case here, given how he spends all his time talking about SRW, going to SRW events, and telling everyone on Twitter that he wanted to make OG Final and has the plot written and hopes they'll LET him one day (they won't)
>>744175703I know le CS Lewis quote le real adults don't care etc etc, but there's a difference between something being enjoyable and engaging for everyone without being dumbed down, like the best Ultraman shows, and utter literal childish garbage like I've mentioned like Raijin-Oh
>>744170593>>744171329>>744171716definitely a send off to an era after the advent of cgi anime started creeping in
>>744175424>Xenoblade >Metroid >Star Fox >Sin and Punishment>Custom Robo >BattleClash>KirbyYou know now that I think about it, if Nintendo ever really wanted to they could be part of SRW roster, granted it would be exclusive to their consoles if such a thing were to ever happen, but still.
>this is one of the good guys
Why are so many of the shows /m/ recommends so utterly boring?
>>744176093So is this, they're pretty silly like that
what went wrong with super robot wars but with cute anime girls
>>744176208>digi charatTruly the most manly of anime
>>744176208>what went wrong?They weren't all cute magical girls >>744172357
>>744176208worst roster ever
>>744176208Garbage roster since it was a budget title.>no Nanoha>no CCS>no Precure>fucking Infinite Stratos
>>744175748The problem is needing to ask. Just try a few episodes. Form your own goddamn opinion. This isn't about Lewis. It's about being useless and incapable of trying things or thinking.
>>744176283>>744176258if retards actually supported it then it could have become a series and have more possibilities for more girls
>>744112596It's amazing how ugly the animations are getting meanwhile one of their animators stands out in quality like a sore thumb.The mix of new animations and reused animations doesn't help.
>>744176093>Dis is one of the good guys
hey I remember the inspector anime and where Ryusei dies like a bitch 10 seconds in
>>744165825Brain Powered is quite literally just a bunch of people trying to raise an undersea ruin but our heroes are afraid that if it escapes the ocean bed then it would kill or at the very least, severely harm the planet.The esoteric parts about it has to do with the character interaction until when you realize that its just a commentary about the impact of parents, especially mothers have on their children. There's a reason why Tomino made a mother into the final boss of BP or the fact that all of the heroes basically treat their brains like children.
>>744153894>Did they fix the almost total elimination of transformable unitsActually doubled down on this. Units like Zeta just transform for movement or battle animation now, rather than gameplay. Only transformable units are the Getters and some that "transform" to power up like Dynazenon/Gridknight combining or Da-Garn -> Great Da-Garn. Note the Getters now can transform after attacking too, which makes Getter 3 much more useful as a tank. >terrain bonusesYeah, actually for this. Y's maps have a lot more emphasis on terrain, as long as isn't space. More limited terrain rankings for many units too, with S Air becoming very rare.>unit costs, and such?Yep, upgrade costs are higher, and you use money for both unit upgrade and pilot skill upgrading. Energy costs also are generally higher across the board making it a much more relevant resource.>>744175656>They fired Terada and let some retards who have no idea what they're doing handle the series and killed OG and MasoukishinTerada was still responsible for 30. Y was a direct improvement on that (series line up aside, where 30 had the whole anniversary hype going for it).
>>744176093https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXPsgHlpscc
>>744176457To be fair everyone was dead in that timeline for multiple factors.
>>744176506>Brain Powered is quite literally just a bunch of people trying to raise an undersea ruin but our heroes are afraid that if it escapes the ocean bed then it would kill or at the very least, severely harm the planet.Yes I'm aware. What makes it vague is that it's not really clear why the Reclaimers are trying to raise Orphan
>>744176374Thing is, you need a strong roster with at least a few genuinely iconic girls in order to seriously consider this being a mainstay series.How the FUCK has Sailor Moon never been in a proper vidya crossover?I can't even find any gatcha collabs, how is that even possible?
>>744176539Y really does feel like they're trying to bring SRW back to some middle ground between the PS2 era and modern.Even changing the engine for the first time in forever seems like we're definitely entering a post-Terada age for the franchise.Just need to see what the game afterward is like because they're clearly milking Y to test bringing stuff to Unity
>>744152026>>744152323Even the base game ending was just kind of open (although not an actual cliffhanger like 30's base ending), DLC packs 1/2 and the Expansion just opened more plot threads without finishing anything from the main game.I hope the units add this time are mostly upgrades though, rather than new series from zero.
>>744174359Does it count if you're playing with a guide?
>>74417687530's ending wasn't a cliffhanger, it was just "Well the main campaign wrapped up, but you guys are still around, I guess we'll have to find a wormhole to send you home or later or something"
>>744177057No.
>>744177067After that talk, the final scene in 30's base game ending had new enemies appearing and the team saying they'll launch again to face them. Then you could face them in front battles but no plot development until the real end update later on.Y does have enemies appearing after end-game, but you only get that plot point introduced if you start a front battle post-endgame, rather than it being thrown the ending itself. Then if you start a skirmish you get a scene about the ghosts of the evolvers after the final battle being spread around the world rather than vanishing completely.
>>744174342>AP is known for having quite the damage sponge bosses like MX portable.MXP's problem is that they attempted to address the complaint about MX's enemies being too frail by blatantly increasing everyone's HP by 50% when in reality, the issue was that the game loved to throw shitty low HP mooks at you early on. Your actual damage output once everyone gets going in MX is kind of insane thanks to MX having the single strongest variants of Attacker and Revenge in the series, on top of inheriting Impact's silly damage quirks. Lmao Twin Laser Sword breaking the endgame in half.AP on the other hand suffers from many mooks being annoyingly bulky, eg the Daimos/Grendizer fuckers but the bosses are actually fairly tame outside of a handful. It also features incredibly cheap weapon/en upgrades, so you're actually encouraged to just funnel all of your funds into those and let EWAC/Parts handle your bulk. Put some emphasis into beating retreating bosses by raising OG, Kazuya and Domon for example and then the game becomes significantly easier.
>>744173250They could at least port the UC version of Cross Rays, Genesys I think it was called. But no, instead this is what we get despite being CR.
I'm just waiting for a new one...
>>744177316I played a bunch of Genesis on my hacked Vita. Its a lot of fun except for the load times. The one thing a pc port would objectively fix...
Top all time broken units? I nominate Zeromyer from J
>>744172816Not true, Genesis was in K>>744174359I enjoy Mekibos's extremely meta comment about this being the second time you've done this after you shoot him down
>>744173250>>744177316The issue with Eternal is that it's actually made by the Genesis/CrossRays team. So, there's no one left for console G Gen. X-Omega and now DD actually have a separate team from the console games.
>>744177283>After that talk, the final scene in 30's base game ending had new enemies appearing and the team saying they'll launch again to face them. Then you could face them in front battles but no plot development until the real end update later on.I viewed that as them trying to justify a little postgame rather than actually trying to set up a further story. There wasn't really anywhere left for things to go and frankly the new expansion villain basically came out of nowhere
Winky Soft stopped making them.
>>744177606I did not care for the Grungust.
Was pic related a shitpost or an actual scenario?
>>744174359Once you beat Aguija, the hardest part of the fight is already over. Sikalog can be zoned out by Lune/Viletta while Gilliam takes potshots at Mekibos until he goes down.>>744177532They never discovered the source of all the random warps and stuff in 30's main game.
>>744177457The MX variant is far more broken thanks to Miku having Love so you don't need to spend all of Masato's SP casting Spirit and instead have a cast of Zeal ready to go so you can MEIOU MAP on turn 1Of course, both pale in comparison to Tekkaman Hiver who is easily the single most bullshit unit SRW has ever devised
>>744125552The standalone play like the older games.Complete Box inherits the modern spirit system so its a bit easier.>>744114598>AP is the hardest game in the seriesIts the game with the most overrated difficulty in the series. Many of the so called winky jank games have way better balance while also being more of a challenge.

>>744177708>Tekkaman Hiver who is easily the single most bullshit unit SRW has ever devisedReactor Voltekka is a pretty impressive MAPW given that its a 4x4 bomb that ignores allies, but this is the same series with stuff like SRW3 Cybuster who has 12 movement, inherent double movement and a 1-6P Cyflash that ignores allies.

>>744178279I won't deny Cybuster could get pretty crazy, but even with all that Hiver is still arguably better due to>two pilots>two lives>insane MAP only takes 130 will and can be reasonably done on turn 1 if you just have someone cast Enable>Double Reactor Voltekka is also only 50 points weaker than fucking FINAL DYNAMIC SPECIAL and only requires two units compared to three so Hiver also very nearly takes the single target attack throne too

>>744178938Disingenuous post.
>>744178938So what does that make units like G-gundam they're classified as supers but have the dodge rate of a real.
>>744179202>they're classified as supersby what? You? They're reals, just like Jeeg and Heroman and such. None of them have ever been able to tank worth a damn.
>>744179319Literally the games themselves go play them
>>744179369In terms of gameplay super or real is just a matter of whether or not the mech relies on dodging or tanking to survive. G Gundam units usually rely on both, a lot of people call them hybrids.
>>744179028People say the ols games have better plots and I havent played much so Indont know if I disagree but Y had some realky fucking cool moments like Kamille beinf dragged to Byston well by the souls in his psychoframe or something and Cham saved him.

>>744179028Off the top of my head besides whatever was going on with Zeta there's the Blue Destiny stuff, Ariel is full if dead babies (I havent seen Gwitch and probably never will) and GQuuuuuux has Amuro in it. I cant think of very many Super Robits with souls in it outside of Evangelion.

>>744180009I love how in Dunbine she became so popular she got life sized Cham dolls made and how its an item in SRWAlso love all the Cham and Lilith jokes in Y
>>744180009So popular they made Cham again for L-Gaim.
I would kill for all the Aura Phantasm dunbine aura battlers to yet in SRW. The OVA only had a fraction of the ones that exist. I think DLC should be more for weird shit like this too not things that should be in the base game. It killed me that one of my favourite anime has 0 plot relevance outside of DLC in Y. (Big O) Using the giant piston on big O to fire off a Kamen Rider was neat but not worth all the worldbuilding they could have done with Big Os city and season 2.
>>744178670W is drowning in powerful MAPWs. Reactor Voltekka, Meteor Full Burst x2, Dreadnought's MAPW, etc. I do agree that she's easily the strongest unit in W but I disagree with her being stronger than SRW3 Masaki/Lune relative to their respective games.Not fielding either of them is a bigger problem than benching Hiver is in W.
>>744112596not including megas xlr or super robot monkey team hyperforce go
>>744112596X was hard copy paste of V, T added garbage and things that didn't fit while having next to no new enemies, 30 was a worse version of T, and Y added more trash and gave up trying. V was the final time SRW was good.

>>744177683A shitpost by someone who thought Rayearth was a 5/10 which made it the worst anime to appear in SRW before that point. Not even kidding, someone watched EVERYTHING that appeared in SRW and aside from that and Macross Dynamite 7 he scored everything in it 6/10 or higher.
>>744181512What's his problem with Dynamite 7?
>>744181578Duel is a retard that lies through his teeth and is full of shit, don't think about anything he says too hard
>>744181578Based on what little I know? Something something something too little action, music not as good as the series, most of the cast do nothing aside from stopping a rape attempt, and no Protodeviln. In case you're wondering, yes, Delta is his favorite Macross series.
>>744181720Shut the fuck up, faggot.
>>744181776After you, dickhead.
>>744181715>>744181776Uh oh, local schizo is having a melties over his boogeyman again.
