ImpAtom posted:So leaked Famitsu stuff is coming out. It may be grain-of-salt for the moment but the most noteworthy thing is that supposedly Z3 will be using the SRW Neo SP method instead of the traditional one I think we caught hints of Neo style spirits a few weeks back if my mind isn't playing tricks on me. There were spirit commands like Strike+, which we guessed applied the effect to the whole squad. Still good to hear since Neo spirits were cooler. I am surprised to hear we don't have any starting Gundam stuff. I can't think of the last time you haven't had Gundam in the first 4 stages or so.

ImpAtom posted:The combo system is fairly simple: Kill enemies and you build a combo which increases your damage and post-battle rewards. However any action you take without killing an enemy (including just moving units) lowers your combo by 1 instead. Sweet baby Jesus. I was kinda bummed when you said continuous action was no longer a skill. Only to realize you can basically act forever so long as you keep killing things. New favourite SRW. Hands down.

I can't decide which is better, that all the new animations for Kira's portraits make him look like a downs syndrome baby, or that his already crazy 5 cross map attack has been replaced with a 9 cross burst centred on him. Seriously, it's like seven swell all over again, except the morale requirement is pitifully easy. Edit: A burst that doesn't hit friendlies of course. I suppose they had to give him something to make up for the lack of a combination attack.

BlitzBlast posted:Nightingale is pretty much an obese Sazabi with poo poo bolted on to it for seemingly no reason and entirely hosed proportions. Why does its crotch need to be almost as long as its gun? What's the point of keeping the Sazabi's propellant tanks if you're just going to shove two bigger ones under the now even larger rear end? Why even make its rear end so big if you're not going to at least go the Qubeley route and throw in more funnels? Why move the funnels from small, easy to manage racks on the back to loving massive shoulders if you're not at least going to throw in a recharge rack? And of course, the kicker, why make something so loving huge if you're not going to give it an I-field like most other Mobile Armors? That shield isn't going to do poo poo. Also why is its rifle so gently caress ugly. Seriously, I have my Hi-Nu holding a bazooka for that exact reason, and Nightingale seems to have the same drat problem.

MechaX posted:Couldn't pick up Z3 last paycheck due to bills 'n stuff, but given that people have had enough time to get through Z3, how are people liking it compared to other, or even recent SRW entries? Great, but the 'incluson' of awakening of the trailblazer is a goddamned joke. 31 stages before you see a 00 unit and 49 before you get the quanta, which has the most bland as gently caress animations, including one they copied more or less wholesale from the 00.

Ethiser posted:While I agree that Build Fighters won't be in Z3 saying they won't use it because they are making a new season is a crazy thing to say when they have used the Rebuild movies twice. I did consider that, but I guess for me the difference is that they know the new Build Fighters series would be over probably some time in early 2015 so its probably easier to wait. Waiting for Rebuild to finish would mean not touching Eva until somewhere around 2062.

Samurai Sanders posted:Are there even any units in Unicorn with i-fields? Without i-fields (or that ridiculous shield that GP02 had) I don't see what a more powerful beam rifle even gets you, since normal beam rifles can pierce basically anything in UC (which is one of the reasons I like UC so much). Unicorn does make a point of showing the various intensities of beam weapons that don't show up in most up stuff. A lot of suits can take a shot or two from rapid fire weapons without being trashed, or can use their shields to soak a hit or two from even full powered rifles. Nothing without an ifield soaks the beam magnum. If it hits the target the target is destroyed. Even if it misses it seems the the beam effect is actually larger than the shot itself, since a near miss in episode 2 wrecks a Geara Zulu.

ImpAtom posted:It's attack pattern is great. It can easily hit lined up enemies while also hitting other enemies nearby as well. It isn't as simple to wreck huge spread out groups as Heero but it's actually a lot better for bunched up groups of enemies, especially if you're chaining MAP attacks together. I don't think I ever had to fire Heero more than twice, so its not too much of an issue either way, but fair points.

MonsieurChoc posted:The ending of SEED is terrible for a long long list of reasons. They'd set up both sides of the war as super-evuuul, so all the good people on both sides decide to form their own third super-good side. YoU've got all these brand new super-wapons coming out of nowhere to make it seem as if they're some sort of climax going on. You have terrible villains, and good villains that suddenly become terrible. You've got some of the worst dialogue in an anime and Kira being really loving terrible at explaining why Genocide of the entire human race is wrong. You have a really boring final battle full of beam-spam and still shots. If you think that Rau Le Creuset is a bad villain at the end of SEED then you are a sad, sad individual. SEED introduces precisely one new superweapon in its last ten episodes, which is actually less than even Mobile Suit Gundam, which had both the Solar System and the Solar Ray Cannon.

Policenaut posted:So I just wrapped up a game and I was thinking of starting up Gundam Breaker 1 because why not I have some time to kill before Christmas, but does anyone have some kind of starter guide or whathaveyou? I took a quick look around and apparently the suggested guide is roughly an hour long series of videos! I'd really just rather have an article I can read that explains all the mechanics and maybe some screenshot pictures like the Gundam SEED Battle Destiny guide. Depending on your budget you might be better off waiting since Gundam Breaker 2 is out slightly before christmas.

The joke there that Perfect Strike and Epyon's pilots are both also Koyasu-voiced so I assume the other two are in the joke too. Mu La Flaga (Koyasu) was the pilot of the Perfect strike, and Koyasu appears to have done voicework for Plamo-Kyoshiro, so that is probably where he did the Perfect Zeong.

We'll get the end of Unicorn, the 00 movie plotline that was missing from the first Z3, and maybe AGE. Build Fighters isn't going to show up until the next major series since it simply wouldn't fit in with anything they currently have, and Reconguista in G won't show up for a year or two until after it is finished.

Infinity Gaia posted:I forgot to check in about Gundam Breaker 2. Basically, it's really loving good. Also it now has an unnecessarily melodramatic story with actual cutscenes and poo poo. It's better than it sounds, people getting SUPER SERIOUS over gunpla is great. In terms of gameplay improvements, they improved so much this might as well be Gundam Breaker 3. The only complaint I have is that some crafting components for surprisingly low-tier poo poo are super hard to find for no real reason. I've crafted like 3 or 4 two-handed swords by now, but still not the lowest level one, because it requires a unique component I didn't find. Weird poo poo. Just chiming in, this is a very good summary of Gundam Breakers 2. The game honestly does feel like they just skipped over Gundam Breakers 2 and released 3 by mistake because they just knocked it out of the park in terms of quality of life improvements. Without a doubt the biggest upgrade is that the new upgrade system lets you use what you want to use. In the original you spent the first 5-10 hours with some hideous franken-zaku hybrid because you simply didn't get introduced to anything worth having for quite some time. On top of that the obsolescence of parts happened very quickly, which meant that even when you found a deign that you liked you'd eventually end up having to trash it because you couldn't' complete stages anymore. By contrast Breakers 2 allows you to upgrade whatever parts you want to keep them more or less on the cutting edge without becoming overpowered. Likewise getting the parts you want is a lot easier because the store actually sells new kits at a reasonable rate, and parts for 'rare' suits tend to drop pretty briskly. I don't think I had to farm any design I wanted for more than three attempts, which is down from like... sixty in the original. The gameplay is better, the enemy variety is vastly improved and on top of all of that the game has a story that is actually... kinda nifty as Gaia pointed out. The closest thing I can link it to is the Original mode from the original Gundam Musou. Its got mechs, places and attacks that you recognize, but portrayed in a way that you can still get at least a little invested in the story mode. The cut scene that happens between part one and part two of the story is actually fantastic and feels like a real gundam moment.

Midjack posted:If it works like the last one, take him with you on some midgame missions and get him some parts that will be way overpowered for early game missions. This actually doesn't work very well on the new game. Most parts have a minimum level, and there is a pretty rapid change over of the upgrade parts you get. Parts you pick up in level 20 might not be at all useful to upgrade level 5 gamer for example.

But some of that price drop represents the exchange rate back down to 120yen:$1. Doubling down to say that yes, it is in fact very, very good. My sole complaint is that once you finish the 'story' the game takes a dramatic increase in difficulty that can be a little frustrating at first.

I will say that it is still better than one, since at least if you get stuck you can pick a stage to farm and guarantee that you get the components you need for the level ups rather than just praying something drops. It could just use a little more smoothing out.

Gyra_Solune posted:Also note that the cockpit is not in fact the red thing at the tip, Saji's sitting somewhere in the central body of it. To be fair I'm not exactly sure what the O Raiser actually does, it has missiles and stuff on it but Setsuna never uses it. It seems to stabilize...something to make the 00 more powerful but I dunno why that is, let's be honest it's most likely just a thing to sell gunplas The big part of the O-Raiser is that its pretty much a giant add on pack to get the twin drive system to work at full capacity. They had to wait until they got the Exia's drive to actually get it working in the first place, and then after that they decided to put the extra add-on equipment to get it working at peak efficiency into the form of a transforming jet.... for some reason. Its got a pair of big fuckoff cannons on either wing binder, a bunch of missiles he uses infrequently and is required for all the really wacky Trans-Am antics like quantization, Trans Am Burst and the aptly named Raiser Sword.

If you're looking for something to entertain you it's Gundam with some decent fight scenes and a few genuinely interesting set pieces, such as how it treats living in space like actually living in space. Just keep in mind that it doesn't get any less weird. The G-Reco cast lives in a universe with a slow gas leak causing brain damage, or one where everyone is just high as balls all the time. Go in with low expectations for the story and you should be okay.

The website is in English and you sign up exactly as you would for the English one. It will request an address, for which I googled a Singapore McDonald's. After that you can log onto the psn on your ps4 the same way you'd log onto any son account. To pay for it you will need to buy psn cards for Singapore, I got mine from Play Asia because I was impatient but you might be able to save a bit if you shop around for ones matching the exact value you need.
