I don't think I ever had problems with the rogue MTs as a kid, simply because their shotguns are so weak. I think the game really starts becoming difficult once enemy ACs begin appearing in missions.

I can't remember if it's this game or a later PS2 AC but there's a mission inside of a burning or exploding building where two ACs show up, one with a flamethrower, that I could never get past. The jerk with the flamethrower constantly ruined me.

Is there any reason the LCC isn't trying to hire you instead of dealing with fighting you?

Well, honestly, Balena is working with/for LCC, and we're working for them, so that's kind of like working for LCC?

I think it's more "We have the greatest fighting force on Mars under our direct thumb right now, why bother with hiring directly when we have the Frighteners?"

You did just create an opening within the organization, though :v:

I get the feeling that Martians are somewhat old news to them. After all, Murakumo was out here ages ago and I really doubt that they were the first. We may be only now finding out the extent and nature of the Disorder units but there having been something living on Mars seems like something they're all quite aware of.

I also agree about the borders. It makes it feel smaller somehow even if it's the same amount of screen real estate.

I guess if people don't like them, I can take them out easily enough, I just thought better production values wouldn't hurt. Anyone else have strong opinions on it?

I mean, I'm not gonna stop watching the videos if you keep the border :v:

It just made the screen feel smaller to me. I actually had to go back and check the other videos to see if they had the same amount of empty space because my brain just didn't process it when it was black space. Maybe use a darker border? The silver just really sticks out, at least to me.

All I'd like to see in the future is more customization outside of the Arena. Get wacky with your AC designs! Rifle and Middle Missile on a human chassis is effective, sure, but a 200MPH missile boat on hover legs can be fun every so often.

Is it only manned giant robots that you're playing as? Because I look at your current paint job and all I see is Grimlock.

Granted, I have no idea what that has to do with the Machine God name so I'm probably wrong.

Hi there Xabungle.

Is there ever any indication as to where on Earth these games take place? The maps rarely seem to rarely map up with actual Earth geography.
