Sidesaddle Cavalry posted:"Well, that certainly is an Original alright." I like to imagine they're hyper sensitive to people complaining about how boring Crowe ended up being and are pulling out all the stops this time to make the original crazy. Crazy rear end cockpit design aside, Storm Bringer is awesome and I'm cautiously optimistic for Chunky Legs Super Mode.

Rascyc posted:I honestly like this original more than the Brasta so far from what little I've seen. It feels like this one has a bit more articulation to it. Also no 30 second long sniper sequence. I agree. Color me wrong on my initial "Welp good job on another generico mcrealrobot BP" because this one feels pretty decent. The finisher has a lot of oomph to it without taking 40 seconds to animate(and reminds me a lot of Valhawk).

While it's certainly in poor taste, it's not really much different from a Godannar cockpit. Suzune's pilot suit isn't much different from a Godannar one either, come to think of it. It's stupid as hell but so are cut-ins of gigantic swaying breasts and poo poo so

I actually agree with you wholeheartedly, but it's hard to feel legitimately outraged over a super robot wars female lead having stupid fanservice attached to her at this point. We crossed over that line around Alpha 3 with Kusuha and Selena's pendulum boobs and Selena's BDSM ninja outfit. It's the sad fact that the venn diagram of "people who like mecha games" and "people who are likely to buy anime girl hug pillows" has a non-zero overlap.

ImpAtom posted:The Beastmen didn't go extinct or anything. Yoko was fighting random Beastman mooks in G-L canon near the end of the series. To add on to this, one of Viral's most iconic scenes is fighting his last stand in the Enkidu post-timeskip several years after Lord Genome's defeat. The entire big prison complex under Kamina City Simon gets thrown into is mostly for beastmen malcontents who don't want to integrate and want to keep fighting the old war. Basically beastmen still being kicking is at least as plausible as OG games featuring DC remnants four games after Bian Zoldark's death.

Rascyc posted:Maximum break is pretty similar to OGs2 but less of a hassle to use. Pretty similar might be a stretch. Maximum Breaks were a huge restrictive pain in the rear end to use in OGs2nd and were basically big fancy support attacks that were reserved for blowing up big nasty bosses. This game encourages you to fliff out maximum breaks to kill anything and everything that's just a little too tough for you to bowl over normally. Being able to double up on ALLs and have your partner use post-movement and range restricted attacks freely is pretty ridiculous.

I can't get enough of how cool the tag tension system is. I'm actually thinking about how I want to use my tag tension, how I want to generate it, on whom I want to generate it. Do I want to slingshot past these enemies to get to the timed boss with multi-action and gamble that I won't be able to kill it without Maximum Breaks? Do I want to chance not having enough damage and save for double PP? The game isn't really hard but I've *thought* more about my movements more than any SRW in recent memory so far. I've actually been holding off doing upgrades simply because I'm worried they'll snap this delightful interlude.

ImpAtom posted:Yeah, that boss fight is basically a "do you know about Maximum Break? We're gonna make sure you do" tutorial, which is hilarious considering they give you another tutorial on it earlier and one of the earlier skill points is "Do a Maximum Break." I think the Gauron "Hey Maximum Break Him Idiot" tutorial is the best of them though because it really hammers in how loving useful they can be with their unique properties, whereas the early tutorials were mostly "I guess I can play fancy music when I blow up this unit".

I mean, I've got a PS3, but I don't turn it on as much since the PS4 came out, but I still bring my Vita to work and stuff. All reports say they're functionally identical with a little bit more load time on the Vita version due to heavy cartridge compression.

ImpAtom posted:The rarity of Hot Blood/Soul in this is pretty odd although Maximum Break makes up for a lot of it. Asuka doesn't get either, although she's admittedly Rebuild Asuka and not classic flavor. I'm honestly really on board with this design decision. Maximum Break at least requires a little bit of forethought to use instead of "press button, numbers go higher", which is a baby step in the right direction.

Shaezerus posted:It feels like Hot Blood is one of those things in recent SRW where either very few pilots get it, or drat near all of them do. Personally I'm glad for the restraint, because I don't think I can take seeing Trowa Barton of all people carrying it around again. Yeah, you're right. That's the big problem. It's such a massively powerful effect to literally double your damage output that most of the time they're forced to hand it out to everyone just so they can stay competitive. Ask poor Rei how not having hotblood worked out in Alpha 3. Giving it to very few people and having them be balanced around it is a much better approach because it helps create some meaningful differences between individual characters.

Emuticus posted:Actually, I used Rei a lot in Alpha 3. Despite her lack of Hotblood, she did have Attune/Inspiration, Exhaust, and Bonds. Not to mention the crazy powerful AT Fields once you upgraded the Eva's armor a bit. That basically meant I could bring Katz and a bunch of other not-otherwise-useful Gundam grunts along with me to the end game and use the hell out of their seishin as well. Yeah, but the fact that she got multiple weapon upgrades(N2 Mine, Lance of Longinus) were completely wasted because she was utterly worthless as an attacking unit due to that lack.

Samurai Sanders posted:I don't even know if she's worth hating, since she's just...it's like she's not even there. Aquarion EVOL is kind of interesting because it inverts the problem that Aquarion had. Instead of having a likeable main couple and a terrible supporting cast like Aquarion, EVOL has a likeable supporting cast and two unbelievably boring/generic/forgettable cardboard cutouts for the leading pair. This means that the central love triangle is the worst part of the show. e: I think a good 40% of lines that come out of Amata's mouth include "Mikono-san" at some point, and I think at least half of Mikono's appearances in the story involve her misunderstanding a situation to get mad at Amata for literally no reason, over and over and over again.

It's actually pretty amazing how lame Amata/Mikono are, because the series has some pretty impressive stuff in the supporting cast relationships. Andy coming to terms with loving someone for who they are in spite of anime's tendency to play off male/male relationships for laughs or Yunoha coming to terms with Jin's death are both really good.

Samurai Sanders posted:I guess you can add me to the list of people who have no idea what they were trying to do with her, other than make a vastly more boring version of Kaname. What's with her name? I looked at her encyclopedia entry hoping to learn but it didn't have a hint. EVOL spoilers ahead. MIX hates men because of issues stemming from her father basically abandoning their family. Andy is initially attracted to her due to her having enormous anime breasts. She initially rejects him due to her issues, but through a surprisingly decent series of interactions for two side characters in an anime they grow close. MIX gets kidnapped by the bad dudes and taken to their planet, so the Aquarion dudes mount a rescue mission and find out that she's lost her memories and due to whatever the gently caress is wrong with Bad Guy Planet she's also turned into a guy. When Andy finds this out he has a brief moment of Gay Panic about "Oh god if she's a guy now and I'm still crushing what does that make me" before coming to terms with this and deciding that he loves MIX for who they are regardless of their gender. The two of them even combine and help Amata for the final battle with MIX still as a guy. The post-series "one month later" shot shows her having changed back into her female body over time, but it's really rather touching that they would have him decide "I'm going to love you for who you are" rather than "I'm going to find a way to restore your titties so I can go back to loving you". As for her name, Blame Anime. Eternal Volfogg posted:Is the general premise of this games story that all the returning characters lost their memories of the last games? Looks like it, except Kei from Orguss. When people see something that reminds them of the way the world used to be they seem to get headaches.

I'm in the 30s and this is worlds ahead of both Z2 games to me. I also think people who think the animations are lazy are insane and probably need to look at the reanimated Z Gundam or Orguss before slapping themselves.

They mostly didn't seem to have a finger on how to properly do a two-part game yet, so it felt like they saved too much stuff for Z2.2 so a significant portion of the cast was left half finished(and usually sans upgrades) at the end of part 1. It was very unsatisfying feeling.

Victory hasn't even been in a drat game since D and the last F91 appearance was in Alpha 2, which was Crossbone plot so it doesn't really count. It would also make a lot more sense to move the UC plotline forward instead of trying to double back and do ZZ, as much as I loving love ZZ.

Infinity Gaia posted:At 130 Will or more: It's worth noting that past stage 28 or 29 or so Amata's power changes to S ranks and everyone's abilities gain the ability to affect the Aquarion even if they're not the main pilot. You too can have an Aquarion with S Sky rank for all weapons, armor down on everything, and after-image.
