I bought a JP PS2 to play this and Alpha 3, it'll be nice to read the plot changes I didn't catch due to not being Japanese-literate.

Silvergun1000 posted:Add me to the 'played the poo poo out of these' pile. OGS is one of my all time favourite games, and I honestly can't give a better answer for why than the robots are awesome and the visuals are spectacular. I even have a pair of Alteisen and Weissritter action figures (in the SD proportions they have in the game no less) on my desk right in front of me. They're pretty much the only super-nerdy thing like that I own, so that kind of says something about how much I love this series. I love these games a little too much I think. Because when I see Alteisen, Weissritter, A Gespenst and five other SRW units we haven't seen yet so I won't spoil them on my shelves, I have a problem.

I really can't gush enough about Shu Shirakawa's Theme, Dark Prison. Basically, when this starts playing, something is about to get hosed. It fits the jerk that Shu is so perfectly. And yes, Magical Talking Cats. They're the best. Anything associated with Masaki and Shu gets a little...off base compared to the rest of the machinery. Well, except maybe one unit that's my absolute favorite but doesn't show up for quite a while in this game.

anilEhilated posted:She was my Giganscudo pilot in all of my playthroughs; they're made for each other. It's even her favorite color. She does well in it in the later games too. Katina is pretty much the best. And an absolute beast in 2nd OGs. And yeah, people having natural support defend when they really shouldn't is a big issue. Russel is okay with it, he has the stats for it and does well in machines meant for it...but why in all the hells does EXCELLEN have it?

Materant posted:Yeah, the Wildschwein is actually really drat good for what it is. It's the best mech you'll have for a while on Ryusei's route, too, so that doesn't hurt its case, either. I really found myself missing it in 2nd OGs, it's a great unit and looks great too. I think I actually put Latooni into it for a while at one point.

Broken Loose posted:Not just wrote the book-- they were the ones who programmed the original motion data for the mecha. Before them, in order for your robot to fire a gun you had to individually time and balance all the servos and mechanical muscles to hold up the weapon, balance it, aim it, pull the trigger, and all the subconscious motions the human body makes during the process (with variations dependent on your movement, orientation, and footing). After the Agressors, you press a button and the robot fires the gun. And this is part of why there are so few PTs and PT Pilots in general. The Lions used by DC have controls closer to Jet Fighters, so it's a lot easier to train pilots for them than for PTs, and they're a lot cheaper to mass produce being a lot simpler mechanically.

So I had everyone get to the escape square but left Latooni in the Wildraubtier on a regen square and had her shoot down EVERYTHING while they couldn't touch her.

Valsione is absolutely the best.  And you think Rampage Ghost is great, the combination attacks only get more amazing as the game goes on. Not saying Rampage Ghost is bad by any means of course, it's awesome. Do combination attacks ignore barriers int his game? Or was that a feature that was added to a later one?

Captain Bravo posted:I would love for one of the SRW games to feature pilots bailing out of their destroyed mechs and coming at you with MANPADs that do like ten damage apiece. I'd love an SRW with a system like Front Mission 3 where you can literally punch enemies out of their mechs and then steal them for mad cash or upgrades.

The Vayyikra looks way too much like Xenogears to me. As in the actual mech, not the game which that mech comes from. Man I'd kill for Xenogears/Xenosaga in SRW. They've already had Kos-Mos!

CmdrKing posted:Before Z, I put some brainsweat into working out a Xenogears-featured SRW, and it wasn't really very workable. You'd either have to basically derail some other plots and have the heroes fall into a time portal and do nothing but Xenogears for quite a while, or you'd have to skip XG plot and just have the cast show up. There just weren't enough shows that played nice with it. I always thought it would fit well with basically everything in Alpha Gaiden myself. Combine the Innocent from Xabungle with the Ethos, the whole scavenger aesthetic of Gundam X...

CmdrKing posted:The impression I got after the fact was that OG1 is an original plot left to its own devices to fill up a whole game, while OG2 is actually a regular SRW. OG2 is a regular SRW in so much as there's multiple original plots happening at the same time, but yeah pretty much. OG1 is pretty much what, the plot of Alpha 1 minus all non-originals? Most of these characters are actually choices for your protagonist in Alpha 1 after all.

You could set up an 8-unit doomstack, all set to kick the boss' teeth in, only to have the computer say "oh hey, nice combo you have there, sure would be a shame if only one of them was actually allowed to make their attack, wouldn't it" and then you throw your DS across the room. Well there's your problem. Endless Frontier is a pretty terrible game, gameplay wise. I don't know what they were thinking with Project X Zone combining that with turn-based strategy.

And she doesn't even need some crazy upgrade to it - that level 10 finisher unlock aside the Angelg is as you will be taking it all the way through this game and the next two even (unless I'm mistaken). Also she has a pretty great song. She does have an amazing song. And there's a sidegrade secret unit for Lamia. I know in OG2 it was slightly convoluted, you get get an all-over upgrade to the Angelg, a Unit you could put anyone in, OR the Angelg sidegrade unit depending on how you handle it.

MarsDragon posted:You get the improved Angelg no matter what. Your choices are between a decent unit you can put anyone in or a monster only Lamia can have. Back on the GBA I liked the open unit better, but some changes in OGS make the other secret better now. Well it helps that in OGS you have more open machines to put people in, so you have less need for the decent open unit.

Blaze Dragon posted:The change of units in the remake of OG2 might be my favourite part of OGs entirely because of one incredibly frustrating mission later that becomes a lot easier. But well, all on its own time. At the very least, it is really good that they use the fact that the OG1 mechs are already in-game to have them appear in OG2 instead of generic things like more MP Huckebeins. I was thrilled to get the Wildraubtier and the Wildschwein back. I'm wanting a new Wildschwein for the next OG game, like we got the new Wildraubtier in OG 2nd.

Gyra_Solune posted:I don't think you get the Wildschwein for OG2? IIRC it was kind of a bust at its intent of being a proto mass produced unit for being pretty expensive and not that much better than a Gespenst, so they scrapped it later on. Really all it even is is a Huckebein with a disc thingy strapped on, which is kind of unique but eh. I just really like the Disc Cutter. And I thought you got it in this version of OG2, it's been a while since I played my copy and my JP PS2 isn't hooked up to anything at the moment or I'd check.
