Why no cool RPGs centered around mechs?
>>

Mechs aren't cool

There's the Front Mission series for one

morrowinds plot line centers around a mech if you think about it....
>>
>>3875915
Well, one of them is a sidescrolling action game with light RPG elements.

Look at mechwarrior games. You play a role of a mechwarrior in a game.
>>

Still waiting for the RPG that does the feels in this justice.
I think the Persona approach would work really well on this kind of game.

People here are too young to play this.

Have you tried getting Galaxy Angel to work on literally any modern OS? It's a fucking nightmare and even if you get it running you have to do weird rituals to make it work right.

You get to make 3 separate mechs in this.
>>
>>3875909
Not an RPG but game is fun and has banger as fuck OST.

>>3876933
Robotrek is a hidden gem it's really fucking fun. Everybody should give it a shot. Story is cutesy, not made to be serious, but you customize three mechs and swap them in based on what you need for that fight. The game isn't difficult but it's a wholesome fun time.

OP play Front MIssion 3 if you want good mecha strategy RPG.

i actually designed an rpg centered around mechs
persona style indeed

it was revolutionary at the time, and still really ahead of everything that exists today conceptually but

i just decided that was way too much effort and people werent worth hassling with so i dropped the project, studied finance instead and im doing much better than if i had indulged delusions that people are deserving of nice things

Ah, being a child is such an interesting time of hopeful egocentrism.
>>
>>3877546
This was 2018-2019.
Look how the world developed and tell me this decision was wrong.

The time of creating neat things are over. Is it hopeful egocentrism, or was I just ahead of the curve?

Is the world looking “comfy” to you right now?
>>
>>3877548
No, the optimistic narcissism is that strangers care about anything you'd ever do, professionally speaking. You're a child, still.
>>
>>3877551
>Well, you would for this one.
I would not in any way.
Nothing you create is interesting in any way, because you are concerned with the herd in the first place.
>>
>>3877553
It doesn’t really matter all things considered.
Point being, we live in a reality most have made similar choices.

Enjoy the endless remakes and slops

It gets worse, Lloyd ends up a land mine war criminal that has to be killed in FM2. Letting you know because the FM2 demake is chunky salsa diarrhea.
>>
>>3877539
If you're just going to talk about what you did and not show anything or offer to release whatever you had for free so others could maybe bring to life what you couldn't shut up about it, we don't care.

Trying to say you were really ahead of everything today and that it was revolutionary is egotistical babble, seriously you sound retarded praising your own shit like this without showing a scrap of it or saying why. It was probably fucking trash.
>>
>>3879021
Shoot. I was almost thinking of buying the FM1 and FM2 remakes cause they're on sale for cheap right now. I played FM1 on the SNES back in the day, never played 2, only played the demo of FM3. Am I better off just getting an .ISO of FM3? It doesn't look like the remake of 3 is out on PC.
>>
>>3875832
nitroplus made dark souls armored core, i played the demo and it was kind of neat, might get it on sale

I'm on my second lap and still having fun. 20 USD is a steal going by dollars payed per hours spent.
Barely any story or lore, but the controls are decent.
A more developed world and NPCs would have been nice, more challenging bosses too. Cute loli mecha musume is not a genre I thought I would ever get into.

I've only played the the first two games and the PS2 Metal Saga which felt like it was made by aliens.
Weird stuff.

FM1 is only OK on Steam, not great, but FM1 was only a starting point back on SNES and not a groundbreaking masterpiece. FM2 is unbearably slow because it's programmed in a way it cannot benefit from higher clock speeds. Go ahead and pump the emulator up to 400%, you still have to wait a whopping 4 seconds of black screen everytime your wanzer enters and exits attack animations. The remake was supposed to skip that slog, but Square used AI textures and indian labor for the Steam version, everything looks bad and there's bugs galore.

FM3 emulates like a champ, go for it. There probably won't be a remake of FM3, nor an official localization of FM5 for that matter. SE has been hemorrhaging money and keeps cutting back projects to shit out more FF14, gacha, and whatever beltan zipper of the decade the Nojima-Tabata-Toriyama trifecta decide to inflict on humanity. Left Alive was the biggest middle finger SE could give to fans of Front Mission.

Bummer, think you just killed it for me. Guess I'll look for a copy of the PSX version and try that.
It's a fucking shame what happened to Square, I loved them back in the day. They were on fucking fire in the SNES/PSX era. I loved FF10 but I dropped the company after that.

Lancer is a bop
>>
>>3875832
building mechs is already kind of an optimization problem, combining it with RPG progression is just a bread sandwich
>>

>FM2 is unbearably slow because it's programmed in a way it cannot benefit from higher clock speeds.

it's slow because the original version didn't allow you to turn off the slow ass animations. but ISO that's buccaneered onlin should be fine. still an ugly anus game compared to FM3. and lulz interwebz engrish.
