Man, I am just consistently thrown off by the startup time on attack animations when I watch footage. It's going to be a while before I can actually get the game but it seems like it would be so annoying during gameplay. Also, any sign of Beyond the Time in the game so far?

Revitalized posted:So uh... now that the game is out, there's nothing wrong with the Vita version right? 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. Yeah, I'm interested in any comparisons. I'd rather have the Vita version because it's $10 cheaper and the game did some annoying cost-cutting in putting a portable game on a console, and I'd prefer to not pay more for a version that offers no actual advantages. EDIT: Derp. How's audio on Vita? Lostconfused mentioned voices seemed low earlier, I think.

Personality-wise Marguerite seemed generally fine (I say this knowing little to no dialogue and going off her attack line delivery only) but good lord that cheesecake design.

crowbb posted:Well since I haven't seen a list yet for Z3 on what the pilot skills translate to (And I can't read Japanese) I haven't spent a single PP the entire game and I'm now entering mission 53 in Z3. I figure I have gone this far without them, I may as well finish it up and save that for new game+. I have been doing unit upgrades of course and have maxed out over a page of units. It's been easy going so far until I hit 52. Which took me 4 tries to get through because enemies were making a beeline at Aquarion and that jet it comes with and the boss types had extreme range and with some luck could one shot either of them, particularly the plane. On the plus side when I finally did it (By hiding both of them behind a wall of my units the entire mission and making sure I trigger enemy reinforcements at the beginning of a turn so I could toast any who appeared inside the wall) I had over 2 million credits to blow on my other units. Should probably bookmark this.

Hokuto posted:One last impression () about Z3-1 while I'm thinking about it. This also struck me. 2nd OGs got me used to some rad boss themes to blow poo poo up to, and this game was sorely lacking in that. That said, it was also nice not to have a repeat case of that awful DAMON music overriding poo poo again.

There wasn't much of anything about Insalaum that didn't own. Just a collection of rad themes, robots, and pilots. They're pretty much my favorite original villain group and I want them back.

I'm not even sure what my favorite boss theme is, but I'm pretty sure Clown Master and Devastator are both high up on any list I could make, along with Ten no Kongou.

ImpAtom posted:Gadlight would be okay if he had anything more going for him than effectively being a pretty annoying mook. He's an okay villain but he's basically a less interesting version of Aim and there's nobody to pick up his slack. Speaking as someone who can't read a goddamn word in these games and has to go by sound, portraits, etc. (and then translations and explanations from others after the fact) to get any sense of a character this is pretty spot-on. And what I generally got from Gadlight is that he was just kind of annoying to deal with and that was about it. To kind of compare him to the Z2 villains: When Gadlight showed up in a stage my general response was "Oh boy, this rear end in a top hat " When Aim showed up, my response was "THIS rear end in a top hat " And for Insalaum, it was "Yessss, these assholes! " There is just nothing interesting about loving Gadlight at all. Aim is a huge rear end in a top hat and that gets put through constantly even in his in-stage behavior (along with him going steadily more batshit as you pound on him). Asakim is in that same boat. The Arcsabers are different, but I could still get a feeling of what they were about. Gadlight was just kinda unreadable, annoying trash.

@3 is kinda on my shitlist just because it handles GGG Final exceptionally poorly and without much fanfare. All in all it was enjoyable enough (but even then I still liked Z1 better), but after playing W which was basically one big loveletter to GaoGaiGar I was just hugely disappointed in a 3D SRW that handled it so much worse.

Kanos posted:What? GGG Final gets its full finale and everything and the Genesic Gaogaigar and King J-Der are two of the strongest units in a game that has the loving Ideon and Gunbuster.

The Brasta was perfectly fine, it was the ridiculously long animations that were the problem, yeah. Crowe owned a lot and had two really good themes so its weird for me to see people making GBS threads on him.

I'd probably be less annoyed at the "only two actually new series" thing if one of them wasn't being wasted on Gargantia. Just could not give less of a poo poo about that show if I tried, and it just offers none of the things I enjoy about other series inclusions. Someday, Star Driver. Someday

ImpAtom posted:I'm not sure how you can think Gargantia doesn't offer fun character interaction in a subfranchise with Chirico, Setsuna, Heero and Sousuke. Ledo hanging out with any one of those guys is basically due to be comedy gold. I don't like Gargantia to begin with, and the other part of what I like about SRW inclusions is beating the poo poo out of show villains which is not really a thing Gargantia is going to offer. One of the highlights of my Alpha 3 run, for example, was killing one of the SEED druggies with Fa. Also I can't read Japanese so The other part of this is what while there's technically "new" stuff in the form of the rest of Unicorn and the 00 movie, and this is purely subjective obviously, is that I don't care about either of those and actively came to dislike the former as the OVAs progressed. I am stoked about more FMP, at least. Oh Snapple! fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Dec 12, 2014 |

ImpAtom posted:Well, no offense intended, but complaining about the show lineup when you don't care about the plot is kind of silly. One of the things SRW goes out of its way to do is try to redeem or improve even bad shows and offer fun characterization. Saying they shouldn't include shows because you dislike them when part of what SRW does is try to improve upon shows just feels weird to me. I do care about the plot, though. I just can't read it, so I'm dependent on seeing folks post about it + my own show knowledge. And I dunno, I think it's perfectly fine to complain about series lineup in a game that's created purely on fanservice. There's a decent point to be made about them improving shows, sure, and Unicorn's inclusion will be much less cold to me if they decide that a particular fridging isn't actually a thing that needs to happen. Also I don't recall anyone complaining about CCA in Z3.1. I thought everyone was in a pretty loving good mood when they realized it was actually being included fully instead of the in-name-only presence it's had for a while with the Nu being present.

Thirding that. Z2-2 was the last mainline game I can classify as a satisfying experience that was worth my time and my money. Meanwhile OG2nd was fun as hell (certainly fun enough to get multiple playthroughs), added cool stuff like the Choujinkis Sanders just mentioned and BANKARAN, and the new versions of tracks originating from GBA games were pretty drat great (particularly the D villain themes). Z3 just seems to have been a poor effort with even poorer direction behind it.
