The fact that they made Allenby a secret for A and J was just baffling to me, especially J since you can't even save Master Asia! :mad: And J is super easy, the only units you can't solo the game with are Sol Tekkaman 1 and 2 because they suck just that bad.

I actually beat it again a few weeks ago which I hadn't done since the patch had come out, the reinforcements issue is frustrating but the biggest black mark on the game is SEED. I'm not saying that just because I don't like SEED, it's more that the game didn't do anything with the plot of it, they play it painfully straight and it drags the other shows down with it. J is still a good game though.

SEED not fitting is even weirder considering most of the other shows sort of mesh well. Like Layzner, Tekkaman Blade and Nadesico worked really well together, even with Voltes V since it also ties into "My family is my enemy".

It's probably not true but it kind of feels like SEED got sort of shoved right in there because it was popular like when it appeared in Alpha 3.

Nowhere close to the bottom. The recent big Gundam poll had it in eighth, between Wing and Unicorn. Several characters and suit designs also made their lists, including Master Asia as the 13th most popular character. While it's not at Zeta or SEED levels of popularity, there's a lot of love for it around. Probably more then when it first came out in a lot of ways, since now it can be the fun oddball of the franchise, instead of making people worry that the grim war setting are gone for good in favor of more super robot stuff.

The bottom of the poll is Igloo 2: The Gravity Front, but AGE, Try, and G-Reco are also down there. If you want to see a real gap in reception, though, you can look at Thunderbolt.

US Gundam discussions tend to like it a lot, while in the Japanese rankings, it's down below double Zeta and the TV cut of Unicorn.

Good point, the last time i checked was before AGE came out and it was hovering pretty low. At least both western and japanese fans can agree AGE is horrible.

Speaking of W. I just finished reading the let's play(which is great). But it got me thinking about how there's really only two maps that really require you to think about the terrain(final stage with the bridges and the island stage).
Are there any SRW that use that a bit more? It's kind of boring going across flat land/space all the time.

K does but it's terrible and not any fun at all. Coming from the guy who played it like 3 times, K is a very bad game.

K was the only game until now to feature GunXSword so it had SOME redeeming characteristics. Plus holy poo poo so many dynamic kills. Like, so loving many. Isn't every single attack that Gaiking the Great can do a DK?

The only other redeeming thing about K is that it gives an ending to Dangaioh and you get to kill Gil-Berg, it was one of the two satisfying things that game did. The other being Cagalli punching Mist in his stupid face after the game is over.

Nobody is really sure but SOMETHING happened that pissed a bunch of the voice actors off. Cagalli's VA never returned to voice her again and Dearka's VA just vanished off the face of the earth after 2012.

I also remember when Z first came out Kenichi Suzumura talked about how Z's version of Shinn was the real one in his mind and Fukuda tweeted some eye-rolling stuff about how "Adding lines and scenes to a completed work was appalling".

What he was saying, in a nutshell, is that taking a knife to someone else's work is a dick move, but that at the same time, it's okay for video games to do that because that's not going to be a 1-to-1 conversion no matter what. And he also hates cheap cash-in games, which is certainly not a complaint directed at SRW in the least.

I think a lot of this is just repeated echo-chamber manufactured controversy. People do things for different reasons. It's not necessarily because the director's on a power trip or something.

Your tweet is actually where I got that from! To me it reads like he's mad about them changing his work, but that's just my reading of it.

Honestly the worst SRW that I remember having no cross series stuff is K.

No I don't believe so. But that's what they should have done in Alpha Gaiden, too bad Gato wasn't in that game.

So, I got this in the mail.


So yeah, no dlc on Switch (at least the Asia version). That kinda sucks to be honest. Now I'm used to not being able to use DLC because I used to be on the Vita, but some of the scenarios sounded real funny/interesting and I was kind of excited that perhaps this time I'd be able to get the DLC especially because the pre-order bonus was advertised as being part of the package even after I learned of the lack of a south-east asia e-shop. Why does hype always lead to disappointment?

Anyway, I also received a partial refund on my order of $15, probably the value of the DLC. I'm not going to cancel though.

And now it's saying that the switch version will get the preorder DLC in a day one patch. So at least there's that.

A huge thank you to everyone who worked on this and the previous games, it really makes me happy to see all your work pay off.

It feels like SRW has gotten a shot in the arm since they've been getting english translations too, especially if they're pandering to international fans for things. The Love Love Tenkyoken not being there is some BULLSHIT though

You know I was thinking, since T brought back GunXSword back when it was last seen in K maybe sometime they could get the other series from the DS games too. Like I'd be all over seeing Koutetsu Jeeg, Gaiking, and Godannar in an actual voiced SRW.

He's MISERABLE to deal with, he has HP and EN Regen and the spot where he spawns has an additional HP regen, plus he's also surprisingly dodgy so that makes him a frustrating boss to deal with.

Said macross stage has the boss drain your morale with every hit and takes half damage from everything that’s not a song attack.
