Bulky mech >>> Weeb mech.
jap mech isn't mech at all, just battle shounen shit with a different skin.
Best mech designs are those the west stole from the japs and unfucked.
Too restricted to a grounded design.
>unfuck
i don't get it. how is any different?
These
The west is too close minded and retarded to realize their designs are objectively shit
i much prefer the gritty militaristic designs on the left to the generic spiky anime on the right desu
First off why the fuck is there a mecha musume Gundam there when you could've used something that isn't fan art?
Secondly you can't really say either mech style is better because they both appeal to different tastes. Some folks prefer the more fantastical, sleek and speedy mechs and others prefer the bulky MechWarrior style of mechs.
sph*roid genocide son, aff?
Westcucks fail again with their boring middleground.
If you're going to make a vehicle retarded by adding legs, you might as well go full retard.
The only uniquely Western design is the one on the far left with the windshield wiper. The rest is a basic /m/ troll chart.
If you want some actually western robots, you have to take a look at stuff like Big Guy & Rusty, as well as Iron Giant.
Unfortunately those are the only examples I can think of, as Giant Robots are uniquely a Japanese thing. The west has a few, but none get the focus Japanese ones get.
>possibly real mechs
>flash animu mechs
>i don't get it. how is any different?
What?
Because in the olden days when people did good art they made it realistic to the function and that mech that you used (the right one) to describe what is bad with mech design is probably extremely close to what a actual combat mech would be designed like
> Best mech designs are those the west stole from the japs and unfucked.
> Design looks exactly the same
What did he mean by this?
Western Mech are functional. Weebmech are faggy winged trashcans whose powerlevel relies on Mary Stus and Word of God.
Western mechs are far superior and seriously underutilised in games.
Mechwarrior 5 better be fucking good.
Because westerners fucking LOVE realism.

>discard them into the trash
Gentlemen, I think we need to band together and stop treating this as an east v west issue. The real problem is when a game treats robots like window dressing or accessories, instead of making part of the core gameplay.
>disrespecting based TV mech
>mechs
>not functional
You talking shit about the Catapult, son? You're about to eat a salvo from double LRM 20s if you ain't careful.
Are you blind, or just retarded?
> The episodes in the show where the Gespenst's cockpit is shown, and its display reads [SHOUT NOW!!!] when using Gespent Kick
Beautifully cheesy!
I like how you bring the shitty starter mech from Hawken into this. It's literal purpose is to be comically shitty looking to get you to buy other bots.
Unironically this. Games with mecha you can't control or that don't feel any different from controlling a regular character are an affront. Respect the robot.
all mechs are asian
also this
Wrong.
God weeb shit is SOOOO GAAAAAY
why are western designers so against anti-gravity designs?
Japs make everything from mechs to characters idle animations with anti-gravity physics. which really captures the feel of moving fast, flying and surreal beauty.
western works ten to make everything super heavy and weighty. from character to mechs everything is gritty and feels like it should sink and inch into the ground just standing there.
Did someone say Western Mechs?
You’re trolling wrong. You forgot to put a Metal Gear in on the left side.
Tell me, how many years did it take to change the design?
East west I don't give it shit just give me a mech game like those Gundam games.
Out it on steam thanks.

USA USA USA USA!
> These human sized robots would totally be functional if we made them 50 feet tall!
Bulky mechs are best mechs
Why do they have to be 50 feet?
We need more mechs like lost planet, less generic human shaped plastic things.
>wasting materials and cpu/ AI computation time for perfect finger motor controls when you could just mount the guns straight on the arm
Japs are mentally damaged thanks to those fucking nukes
Because we are discussing giant robots you braindead fuck
stupid newfag, battletech barrowed Japanese anime mech designs. Heavy gear was a homage to voltoms. Youre probably some fucking leaf that thinks Jovian chronicles was original too
>western mech
>has its weapons mounted on its frame
>eastern mech
>it's an oversized gun/sword
explain this you weebs.
Bipedal robots aren't realistic.
Getting a tank would only be a fraction of the cost and tech needed for superior performance and less weaknesses.
Giant doesn't mean exactly 50 feet. Do you need a dictionary?
>less generic human shaped plastic things
>posts a Vital suit
shut up you fucking retard
If you don't love all mechs, east and west, you don't deserve mechs at all.
What are the best mech games you can emulate on a phone? My PC is broken right now, already playing SRW J
Western Mechs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Japanese Mechs
Japs
>I know! We'll have them just hold the weapons instead of integrating them into the structure of the mech to maximise muzzle climb!
There's a reason they get fucking demolished in real conflict.
Hey dipshit, next time you decide you want to post, try reading the thread first.
>Best mech designs are those the west stole from the japs and unfucked.
>Caring about realism
THEY'RE GIANT ROBOTS. NOBODY WHO LIKES THEM CARES. KILL YOURSELF.
because the west tries to stick to physically realistic concepts
>>I know! We'll have them just hold the weapons instead of integrating them into the structure of the mech to maximise muzzle climb!
>Giant war robots have to look realisitc
the ABSOLUTE STATE of westcucks
>Straight legs=Human
If this is what your body looks like in real life I feel really sorry for you.
If you care about realism, you do not care about giant robots.
You are a wanker.
Americans
>I know! We'll make it an ugly piece of shit and make the game boring as fuck!
Fuck this east vs west bullshit, give me a mech game to play.
I like MuvLuv Mechs. They are kind of a bridge between realistic in terms of movement and anime speed jumping and shit.
40k makes pretty good mechs, but good western mechs are rare.
And you are a coper.
It took years for that to happen, and it only got "unfucked" due to licensing issues. Pic Related.
Giant Robot are an inherently Weeb niche. There is no getting around it, and your attempts are feeble.
This is peak "realistic" mecha.
What are the best mech games?
And you are reddit.
Because the west just wants to make a tank on stilts.
The east makes humanoid battle robots that capitalize on a sense of cool.
Nigger, you posted a vital suit , one of the most human shaped robots in the whole game, if you wanted to talk about them going into different shapes you should have posted something that didn't look fucking human
I need a level of effort to enjoy games, it's like seeing a punch in mortal kombat with no weight behind it, it takes you completely out of the experience despite it being fine in other unrealistic fighting games because they at least tried.
If flying fairies shooting laser beams at eachother and fighting with swords in the sky sounds satisfying to you then that's fine, but it looks retarded to the rest of us.
What's your point?
The best designs are still those that the west stole from the japs and unfucked.
based LP mechs
we already got realistic and far more useful mechs in real life
they are called tanks and have none of the weaknesses
How come those games ignored all their mech shit in the MP to just push a generic TPS
Titans are the best western mechs
Why is the filename not Dougram ?
>us
Don't talk for me you little shit
Titanfall and Lost Planet are my favorite mech designs within games. Both series were niche at best and commercial failures at worst. With any luck Apex Legends means more success for Titanfall in the future but its really difficult to say. But Lost Planet 4 just seems really unlikely in my mind sadly
>mech can't do sick shoryukens
Fucking WORTHLESS TECHNOLOGY
You're legit a fucking retard. You're the inverse of that image of the guy looking at a Gundam and seeing the robot instead of the anti-war message
>anime speed jumping and shit
Not intending to call out your post in particular but why the fuck do people keep saying shit like this. A sense of lumbering weight is a cornerstone of almost every mecha anime. The only show the west even knows about for that matter, gundam, went out of it's way for that. Everyone always talks about gundams flying around at lightspeed like faggots but mobile suits can't fucking fly. They all walked around in the original show and the super prototype all powerful gundam could JUMP. It could do a little fucking hop and everyone shit themselves at it's incredible mobility for that. Where did this meme come from
Really? The echo in your brain box is so prominent that the best you could come up with is ye olde "you have to go back".
Absolute fucking brainlet.
goddamn hardballer still makes my dick diamonds, shame the series died
Western mech design already peaked in 1998
That's a cute meguca
Theyre all weeb mechs lmbo.

Go fuck yourself, I love my metal boxes and bulky iron men.

Why is everyone willfully ignoring the most realistic mechs of any artistic medium?
Why mech when you can power armor?

God look how btfo you are.
posted this too early it seems
Giant robots aren't realistic period.
But westerners want realistic fantasy because they're retarded.
Generic Gundams.
>D E L E T E T H I S
This. Westerners praise and obsess over realism and graphical fidelity which is not what videogames have ever been about.
So your brain lacks the processing power for imagination? Great; thanks for sharing that here.
Titans are top tier.
I want more zoe mechs in games. I don't care about faggy american walker mechs. I want smooth and sleek, and with a big dick.

Asian mechs are superior.
There is nothing wrong with expecting a fantasy to have a consistent set of rules that it follows within it's setting
FUCK KATOKI
USA CHAD MECH VS VIRGIN JAPANESE MECH
Did you just reply to yourself?
You're doing it wrong
You're suppose to put bulky Japanese designs on the left and slick western designs on the right for the joke to work.
With that being said, I like every kind of mech. East or west, real or super, bulky or smooth, small or huge, it don't matter to me.
It fills the niche of over the top heavy mech, which only a few Eastern media like Macross fills.
> Playing Gearhead: Arena
> Suddenly a Mecha thread
Yes please! Wish there were more giant robot games around, but I'm certainly ecstatic to have found a freeware one, and a cRPG no less.
Wish some of the bots had better lineart though. It's open source and the files are a collection of pngs and txts, so I was considering just making my own.
Why does mecha attract so many underage wannabe smartasses? These are the same kind of people who think they are fucking geniuses for telling others that "uuuuh you know wrestling is scripted right???" as if they wouldn't be watching any other scripted tv show otherwise. You can play any dumbass fantasy video game you want or watch any bullshit shonen lift weights until you can shoot lasers anime no problem. But put a robot in it and the /k/ fags come crawling out of the woodwork with the same old
>TH-THIS ISN'T VERY REALISTIC YOU KNOW
>ACTUALLY TANKS ARE MUCH BETTER WEAPON PLATFORMS
>HEY STOP LIKING THIS GOD DAMN IT PLEASE POST IN MILSIM GENERAL
There are exceptions like Patlabor and Big O.
The times mobile suits i gundam walked can be counted on a single hand. Najority od Gundam is space combat where they actually fly really fast speeds. Guess why Char Aznable got the name "The Red Comet"?
who cares if you can look when you can't travel so fast and so chaotically dodging homing rockets and cannon fire that you get vertigo and start vomiting your lunch?
No, according to the 4chanx pop-up for first time posts, it's not samefagging.
Western mechs make no sense on any level.
Eastern mechs can at least ride on the rule of cool so you can deal with the fact that the whole concept of mechs isn't realistic, and would actually be quite stupid in real life, so you can still have fun.
West tries to cover it all up with "realism"(not actually realistic), like the insecure manchildren that they are.
tanks on legs > tanks with mecha torso > tank > mecha
that's not what you're complaining about though. Within their settings all these so called flying fairies make perfect sense. You want it to make sense to your fucking retarded sensibilities where you think a gigantic robot makes sense as long as it lumbers around really slowly and looks like a living trash heap
Kek, this is absolutely true. I can't even bring up wrestling without someone saying "YOU KNOW IT'S NOT REAL RIGHT?" Lmao; sure dude. Put the totally REAL Mahvel movie back on.
RULE OF COOL BABY. Some faggots just weren't born to be fun.
Is that toaster-on-legs from Hawken?

Both can be cool or shit. Fuck faggots that can't appreciate both.
Patlabor, Macross/Plus, Zone of the Enders, and SHOGO: MAD are all top tier animu mecha. Countless others I won't bother to name (think most late gundam and gundam ripoffs) are unwatchable dogshit.
Actually, I think that's the big difference. Jap mecha is much more inspired and integrated into anime and culture than west mecha. I can't think of a single movie or series that comes to mind that has western mech stuff. It's the difference between sim and arcade racers. Or the difference between DCS and ace combat. Both can be fantastic, entirely depending on the experience you're looking for.
Top autsimo
Here's another babe for replying anyway
i wish those smartasses were underaged. That way it wouldn't be so bad. you could just chalk it out to just them being stupid kids. it's painful seeing people in their late 20s and early 30s talk like that.
Not that guy but you are correct.
4 legged robots that are large dog sized are about as realistic as I can think of as military robots. And they are quite useful in mountainous terrain. Though that is only prototyped at this point. Large robots are simply large targets. Exoskeletons are legit though. That seems like the future of big budget special force militaries.
I know right? The Heavy Armor Battalion game or whatever for kinect had me thinking about how retarded it would be to play in what is effectively, an oversized Sherman. Just go full on diselpunk mecha instead of this gay "microchips got eaten by microbes lol" plot set in the real world.
>Posts two sets of eastern mechs
???
>using MS Team as an example as if it was the only Gundam series
Are you retarded, son?
No they cannot be counted on a single hand you stupid fucking monkey watch the damn series before running your mouth.
What kind of fucking point is that. I don't need to guess, he got the name because it was fucking notable that he was going fast. They wouldn't bother giving him a fast guy nickname if it was fucking normal to be flying around really fast you fucking retarded bitch
god i miss playing this game with my dad
How do you feel about clunky, inhuman Western-style mechs designed by Japanese developers?
Exceptions prove the rule.
I'm not the one who said...
>The times mobile suits i gundam walked can be counted on a single hand.
...so no, i'm not retarded, unlike you.
>GP02
>Slim anime mech
10/10 my /m/an love this bait
exoskeletons that don't turn you into a kamen rider offshoot are also yawn inducing.
>western style
There is no such thing as western style mechs, except for maybe some robots from very old movies.
Whatta buncha mobs o pansies we got in this thred. Okry mechas best mechas.
>possibly real
In what universe? Mechs are too tall and heavy to ever be feasible period end of story.
Liking grungy machines or thinking boxes are the superior shape to triangles, that's fine and respectable that's your opinion. But "realness" should never come into the equation, its like saying "this series's magic is better because its more realistic than this weeb magic"
chromehounds 2 fucking NEVER EVER
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
No. But this is.
FromSoftware is the best mech dev in the east. Respawn is the best mech dev in the west. Fight me.
NO.
The future is... Antmen.
>LOOKS cool
Yes, that was my point. But they're kind of completely useless in the actual game part. At best you just stand in one place and spam attacks until the monster dies. It has neither the fun zippiness of an eastern mech, nor the grounded grittiness of a western mech. Ontop of it all, it's just not that interesting. It's not even the focus of the game. The actual game itself is just a teenage soap opera.
>4 short legs
Why not just have wheels at that point
There are two types of people, the ones who go for the big lumbering high damage hammer, and the faggots who go for the fast dancing double blades.
Which one are you, and why is it loud, slow, lumbering and powerful mechs?
You do realize the pic in the post is ALSO a vital suit? The Hardballer is the only humanoid VS in the game.
why are you focusing on that tangent instead of focusing on the real greater discussion about the preferred transport method in the gundam series?
ok try literally every other series and ova set in UC. Mobile suits cannot fucking fly.
I preffer western mechs, they look more like actual military hardware while weeb ones are just flying humans, but I can understand the appeal
Japs do top tier western mech designs, Chromehounds, Armored Core and Front Mission are all great.
You are already retarded for being confused why someone would think Gundams are always fast moving when your only apparent exposure to Gundam was MS Team.
>western mech
>Posts a series that took all its designs from Macross
lol?
Why are humanoid mechs so boring
fast, silent, and powerful mechs.
>posts big ass dumb human with skull facepaint on
Western style mechs are always Function > Form. Asian mechs are always Form > Function.
really nigger? because 4 short legs are cooler than wheels
>gorillion mobile game tier muhreen "games"
>no t'''''au mech game
>no 40k mech game in general
It doesn't have to make sense lorewise, have it be some fire academy battle simulation, crazy Comorraagh event or Chaos gods kidnapping mechpilots and their mechs for shit and giggles and forcing them to fight to death for their amusement.
I go for the fast dancing high damage glass cannon mechs.
All your western mechs were made by the Japs. So basically
>Asian mechs are form > function
and also
>Asian mechs are function > form
I'm fine with exoskeletons with a focus a realism. I should clarify that I don't mind the over the top nature of mechs either. I don't care if they are realistic or not. I like them. I care more about a visually pleasing design. If creativity is the focus then I'm all for it.
Armored core is as far removed from western mecha as any other japanese property.
Are you retarded? You quote MS Team and then completely ignore the flying Zaku in Gravity?
Don't diss Atlas, its big, its heavy and tanky, its design shows it, but as I said, to everyone their own
>All your western mechs were made by the Japs.
Get out.
>why are you focusing on that tangent
>why are you focusing on dumb things I said and correcting me reeeeeeee
Maybe you should just admit that you were wrong and shut up?
Both of those shows have nonsensical designs. There is no fucking reason to invest in full blown neck mechanics to keep a vestigial mech head on two shoulders making the whole thing overweight on one side. Big O is all fucking fantasy anyway.
look at this
what's the source of that meguca gif?
I'm not the ms team guy. I'm telling you to watch 0079, Zeta, ZZ, even fucking CCA where the Nu Gundam actually runs on magic psyker juice and is the most advanced MS ever made at the time. Still fucking has to walk in atmosphere. Just kill yourself you stupid prick
No, not really. The early AC games are VERY western, only a few are SANIC FAST BOOSTAN tier.
Also I was talking about the designs, not the gameplay.
titan fall mechs are just big boned people so i don't see the distinction is between them an the average jap mech.
not the guy, my guy.
Also, you're still retarded. As was pointed out several times in the thread.
Does this look like a battletech mech to you?
More mobility and stability on uneven terrain, and easier to do minute repositioning. A legged mech can go places a wheeled one can't.
Ork mechs are unironically the best western mechs AND ironically the most realistic ones too.
The whole point of Orks is that Orks are so dumb that logic and laws of physics don't work on them if they don't expect them to.
Bam, instant realism.
Gork bless.
Mechs with swords will always be fucking stupid.
Ah, now here we have a man of integrity, well put user.
IT'S NOT FAAAAAAAAAIR
If flies, it is not a mech.
The argument he is making is that the entire design of western mechs is heavily influenced by Japan. I unironically think titanfall 2 is the best game in the entire genre but it is very heavily influenced by Japanese mecha.
Here you have Hyakku Shiki flying
>The actual game itself is just a teenage soap opera.
I'm not sure we're talking about the same game
I'm not dissing it, I love battletech. I love all robots because I'm not a faggot. But you can't say you hate other mechs for being human shaped which is not milsim wank enough and then post literally a big human edgelord
my man
because realism is good and... not realism is bad.
PEAK performance
But are any of them a weapon to surpass metal gear?
This entire post has to be bait.
Nah I don't hate them, I'm not into the flying sleek-ish jap design of mechs and like bulky ones more, maybe I should've said it better
But Chromehounds had wheels too.
>pretends to know his shit
>talks out of his ass
You are an embarassment stop posting and rewatch Gundam.
Dumb speedwatcher.
I actually liked that mech game left TV screen robot is from, forgot what it was called but it was pretty fun.
It's the same game where potato-chan cooks pizza in her lingerie. I think it applies.
And all the mechs not literally made by Japan are still Japanese influenced completely in design. There is no such thing as a western mech.
Thats not true at all.
you're a dumb faggot
Daily reminder:
Manly mechs are bulky
Only girly weeb faggots like skinny nip designs.
Why is Gundam Wing the only good Gundam series?
In z they already had flying mobile suits and those surf board things to make ground ms fly.
Hell the zeta transformed was able to fly too.
Not that guy:
The bits of UC I caught all had relatively grounded Mecha, with the only robot ninja being the Gundams for a while. The Gundam even jumping was a huge shock early on, and from there the robots were definitely affected by gravity. This did go out the window once mecha flight became commonplace, though.
The AC Gundam shows definitely have no sense of physics, and this was definitely true in Wing, which everyone is familiar with, alongside G and SEED. You can tell Tomino is working on a Gundam show just by how grounded it is, like Turn A.
>Best mech designs are those the west stole from the japs and unfucked.
Correct. Japanese style mechs but with Western sensibilities.
>Port/sequel will never happen
It hurts
Say hello to the Marauder.
It's completely true.
Practicalfags are a plague everywhere. Just look at the fuckers that show up and start whining in weapon and armor threads trying to impress people because they're not "like the other girls" and like spears instead of swords or some shit.
How does that thing not fall forward? I'm not even a realismfag but that is so stupid it hurts.
The designs on the left are shit
but the designs on the right are even worse
>his mecha doesn't rock a leopard print speedo
Why don't you try actually countering his absolutely valid argument instead of being a gigantic faggot?
Is it because you have no argument?
Pacific rim is a love letter to Japaense techs and monsters, they are called Kaiju ffs. Shit example.
what is out of my ass, please just fucking attempt to contradict any of this.
Yes.
That's basically Mazinger. The only western thing about this is that it's CGI.
You DID play Xenoblade Chronicles X, right user ?
Why can't the west into realistic cockpit design?
Gundams in gravity are affected by it and not often do you see them fly because it eats so much fuel. They are still capable of flight even if its for a short duration.
there are times when i'm in the menu for multiplayer and i'll just be looking at the titan models and admire them for minutes at a time
Source?
His argument got already debunked here
Have another link
I was talking about the stupid oversized weapons you moron. Also patlabor has pretty down to earth designs for a lot of the construction labors.
It's a Microsoft IP, isn't it?
From Software was in a very delicate financial position around the time Chromehounds was made, with them believing Armored Core: Last Raven might be the studio's last game, so I assume they went begging to Microsoft to see if they could get some cash for an exclusivity deal, leading to the creation of Chromehounds. I wonder what it would take to get a situation where both Microsoft and From would want to make Chromehounds 2.

Nope, unless you take "it has legs and is metal" is influence. Find a titan fall mech from japan, you wont be able to.
His argument is fallacious as shit.
I think you fuckers fail to grasp the point. Japanese style mech, Western sensibilities (i.e. it's big, clunky, clumsy, dirty... etc.)
>Draw a human with metal and wings
>Good
Retard and lazy mech designs. The grounded mech designs look way more unique and alien.
Because joysticks are less gay than this shit.
Base Jabbers.
MS couldn't fly for extended periods in atmosphere. They needed either support or be built for atmospheric flight like methuss and other transforming mecha.
If anyone is talking out of their ass, it's you. Only time you see fully humanoid forms going at high speeds while being propelled by their own thrusters is in space... which is what they were designed to do in the first place. Humanoid shaped space worker.
that's exactly the point genius. Mobile suits cannot fly. They need peripherals to be airborne. They gotta carry around extra shit for limited transportation and then fight on the ground. In Zeta they started making some prototypes that could turn into planes to get around on their own. Because mobile suits can't fucking fly. People aren't fucking fairies because we can board a 747. Battletech has way more "flying" in it than UC gundam because of how much more commonplace jump jets are for them
Hell in 0080 war in the pocket the zaku II kai can fly too.
Please, what am I missing that supposedly makes it such a good game? Is there a pretentious message about war and human emotions and feelings that I overlooked? Was there a mob on the overworld that wasn't just mashing buttons to win? Because all I got was cringeworthy waifu trash every other cutscene.
>There's a reason they get fucking demolished in real conflict.
Bitch they invaded sokor and a chunk of chingchong of what a handful of military they had and more! US is just a big pussy that they needed the nuke just to make them stop
It's a Sega IP like Otogi.
Why are those Gundams walking? I thought you said they always fly wtf
this isn't real, is it? i watched until episode 18 or so. tell me this isn't fucking real.
An Indie studio created a spiritual successor inspired by Chromehounds.
So we are moving the goal posts from Gundams couldnt fly to Gundam cant fly for an extended amount of time?
>Because all I got was cringeworthy waifu trash every other cutscene.
I think you're talking Xenoblade Chronicles 2
>there is no such thing as a western mech.
Work on your reading comprehension.
debunked by a jump which I brought up myself in my very first fucking post in the thread. Get a grip dumbfuck. Here have this declassified footage of blacks tapping into latent human flight capabilities
>tau have the best any thing in the titan game
>laughing titanicus.notai
No ones moved the goal posts, the goal posts were always this.
>The times mobile suits i gundam walked can be counted on a single hand.
And you were full of shit.
>His argument is fallacious as shit.
Agreed. But thats how Yea Forums communicates with itself. Incendiary response to incite more incendiary response. Its all about finding the subtext. Communicating on Yea Forums is very similar to communicating to a woman in that regard. The main difference is Yea Forums is pretending to be more hostile while women are pretending to be more neutral.
Fellow men of integrity
So mobile suits that can fly are not mobile suits?
I don't understand your mental gymnastics.

pls no

You first.
>The times mobile suits i gundam walked can be counted on a single hand.

But they aren't mechs.
What Asian did George Lucas steal his walkers from?
Checkmate retard

Mother fucking ZOIDS
>that
>down to earth
No, ya dumb faggot lol.
Nah the points still legit. Majority if mobile suit engagements in the series happen in space.
Mobile Suits fighting in Gravity doesnt happen nearly as often as it does in space. Zeta Gundam almost exclusively happened in space aside that small Arc on earth with Char and Amuro.
You either actually fly or you jump really long. Hiaku shiki is also much lighter than your stadard grunt suit, because it was meant to be a transforming suit called the Delta Gundam. It failed. Any faggot can stay a couple of seconds in the air with a jetpack. The real cross country flight is only exclusive to certain MS (zeta and later delta family as examples).
If you run and trip like a dumbass, can it still be called running? If you punch something and it ends up hurting your hand instead, did you really throw a punch or did you swing your fist like a faggot?

Darling in the FranXX. Haven't watched it but I hear it's not that great.
Waifu
That's just a fucking loli engineer and a comic relief. There's no waifu cringe cutscene about her, or about any character of the game.
Admit it. You didn't play the fucking game, don't you ?
Ironically Eldar has the most durable walkers in the game in the form of Wraithlords.

That's not what you said at all.
the west at least considers science
I unironically believe this. There's enough thought put into the design of ATs that you can afford to suspend your disbelief and they still look pretty cool.
"realism" in games is level of degree, retard
and it applies to all games
also
Stompy realistic mechs > anime aesthetic designs

He's not chopped up in there is he
AND JUST WHAT KIND OF TIRES DOES BATMANS CAR USE ANYWAYS?? XD
>oversized weapons and accessories attached to the upper body
>tiny torso joint
The thing that ruins my immersion when it comes to japanese mechs are massive bodies with tiny joints
This thing could so easily break in half
Running and then tripping is still running. Are short distance sprints not running?
There's nothing waifu about that potato but she's definitely cringey.
nigger there are LITERALLY helicopters made for gundams so they can drop down SWAT style.
>realistic
He literally is
>That's just a fucking loli engineer and a comic relief
Is that why you can put her in revealing underwear? Holy hell man, this mech thread doesn't need to be defiled by Xenocringe.
100m dashes are running, but what MS do is the equivalent of barely making it out of the starter line and quitting the race.
They literally are not. Mobile armors can fly. Again try watching the show some time instead of flapping your jaws. It's not flying fairies swordfighting, it's a fucking jet.
Look at this post
>If flying fairies shooting laser beams at eachother and fighting with swords in the sky sounds satisfying to you then that's fine, but it looks retarded to the rest of us.
Do you think he was talking about 2 planes dogfighting when he said this. The Zeta gundam cannot fly as a robot. The waverider can fly. Getting on a Dodai Kai is not being a flying fairy. You can't count the amount of times mobile suits walk on one fucking hand, no matter how many dumbass technicalities you try and pull here. Even if I grant you all of this as being right, the original statement of this hwole debate is still completely factually wrong.
Legs handled recoil better.
this is a space only unit.
It's literally 2 arms to pick up big things and 2 legs atached to a very simple cockpit. It doesn't get more simple that this for a contruction vehicle. How can you be in denial about this?
and dakar, and kilimanjaro, and hong kong, and when they're inside colonies and

I'd be more bothered by the fact that bipedal mechs wouldn't work at all in the first place.
Or are you too uneducated and stupid to not notice that?
Are you the guy who smugly points out that "heh, lasers don't work like thaaat!" while watching star wars and they are flinging around rocks with their minds?
>using mechs in space
Why does it need legs and arms if all it does is fly?
Why the fuck would a simple lifting machine need two arms and two legs? Want to know how I know your a nigger and never had a job?
And that's not waifu trash to you?
>let's waste resources and time on retarded fanservice instead of making the combat serviceable
And like you said, she's bloody underage. What kind of pedophile would be okay with that?

But this looks like a mobile suit to me and it can fly without being transformed into an orange alien spasceship though.
He's a minotaur so he's probably better that way anyhow

Why do the battletech books all suck so much? They're dry and boring. I went into them thinking there would be some gems like with 40k, where you have to shift through some shit but some of it is really good, but so far I'm batting a zero
>ncsoft
stopped watching there.
To move items in different ways and positions, also because it's significally faster than any other construction related machinery you waste of air. Thell me what's fucking easier, loading 3 tons of material into a truck or a crane or simply picking it up and moving it?
>it's shit because I'm too brainlet to understand it
...
You are a brain dead nigger. So why haven't we made articulated fingers for lifting heavy objects in our machinery yet user? Are you fucking stupid?
Titans from Titanfall are a good balance.
They would.
You just need to make the legs sturdy enough while minimizing upper-body weight. Arms are just dead weight.
Even then they're just over-engineered pieces of shit with no real tactical capability, but at least they don't collapse under their own weight.
Humanoid is bad design though? No one thinks the human form is practical for a war machine.
You forgot Jaburo.
I count 5 times where Gundams fought in Gravity.
you are high on all sorts of crack if you think X has fucking "great" mecha combat

Now I want to watch any mecha anime
what should I watch?
I only watched Macross (original and 7), Mazinger and Evangelion
Gray Death Legion Trilogy is decent, but I mean it's Battletech, what exactly are you expecting?
When your limbs are no longer directly inside the mech's limbs.
watch dai-guard
those are power armors
13.
Listen to this fine man of taste and culture.
Alternatively, Shin Mazinger.
Dougram for politics and Earth fed shits
Still stupid.
The catapult is a much more reasonable design than... whatever those weeaboo figurines are.

Stop being a child and switch western mech media.

That's a shit mech, tho.
At least for a universe like Battletech 'Mechs have a decent lore explanation for why they exist and how they are actually effective. Do Japanese mechs have a good in universe explanation for why they exist? Or is it just a fuck you its fun kind of thing most of the time?

It's made of CNT, don't question it.
Brake Blade and Sidonia no Kishi (would recommend the manga though)
You don't button mash in Xenoblade
The combat is MMO-lite
Game like Gundam: IBO when?
Heavy Gears are the lamest AT knock offs except for the particularly dumb KMFs
Any mech with a "hand held gun" is fundamentally retarded, weapons should be built-in. Maybe arms could be used to stabilize long cannons with droop but that's it.
imagine the collateral damage
>oopsie I dropped a BUILDING SIZED GUN
or the maintenance
>ok pilot just drop the gun here and we'll repair/reload it
Thats the stupidest thing i've seen someone say on Yea Forums all day.
>MMOs aren't just button mashing
Literally the most braindead genre right behind visual novels.
For Gundam, the explanation is related to issues with Radar. There exist an energy particle called the "Minovsky Particle". It block radar, but also makes beam weaponry possible. As well, the robots actually started their existence as construction equipment for space missions. Colonists decided to weaponize them, and it completely blindsided the Earth forces when they attacked.
You may want to check a wiki for more detailed information. My knowledge is a bit limited since I haven't been an /m/ regular for a while.
Why does every person in these threads act like they are design experts who work for government think tanks?
JP mechs resemble too much to humanoids. It gets boring for me.

I'm still sad that Starsiege never gained any more traction. I loved the designs all around.
Those are robots, not mechs.
Giving mechs detachable weapons gives them more potential flexibility. I think both ways are fine.
You know that there are some detachable weapons in battletech, right?
this
and this, but mostly patlabor, votoms is a mixed bag
Don't switch arguments, this isn't about realism, this is about simplity. There's nothing simpler than fingerst to pick up things. We also don't have that kind of equipment because in real life it's unnecesary, unlike in a world were japan is LITERALLY making more island to live in and they need that extra big strenght and big accuracy. It's a science fiction aproach, so comparing it to the real world is stupid.
I love the Bushwacker!
I think you have some sort of issue, because everything you described applies to various Japanese robots.
>them more potential flexibility.
No it just adds more weight and complicates things. Just give them different ammo types.
You understand that he's baiting, right?
>need to turn your entire body to shoot someone
Shit design.
>waiting to button mash is somehow different from button mashing
Wow, you added a slight delay. Truly revolutionary concept.
Things argument is all about realism you retard, I'm not going to debate about shit that doesn't exist with you. Are you fucking retarded?
Titanfall has always had good fusion of both Japanese and American style mechs
>what the fuck are arms
>what the fuck is the point of a pivoting/rotating torso
Oh, we got a big brain expert over here.
Left is better though.
Phantom Crash had the best mech designs, prove me wrong.
How can weeaboo garbage """mechs""" even compete, lmao:
>proving you dont know what youre talking about in your own post
That's common sense
Reminder that it took 2 mechs for the USA to beat Japan
Then what are they?
How is your mech going to get back up when it falls over when it doesn't have any arms or hands?
nanomachines
Finally, someone with some sense. I think all men should band together to make cool robots in videogames more then just set dressing
OH THANK GOD, you wouldn't have liked to disscuing GIANT ROBOTS in an internet boad inside a thread about VIDEOGAME GIANT ROBOTS eh user?
>literally gets knocked over 10 seconds into the fight
>The early AC games are VERY western
No they fucking aren't, they're literally goddamn anime simulators you fucking nigger.
No it isn't.
Battletech literally stole the designs. They legally were only allowed to use the boxart but they replicated the designs too.
>Update
also it was more fanctional and did more stuff
>i know literally nothing about battletech
The Timberwolf is superior in every way.
This dude is spreading fake news. Battletech stole like 2 designs and changed them anyway, the rest were OC.
You're not cool because you're fat, fatass.
>It took years for that to happen
>how many years did it take to change the design?
Why are you saying this? Literally doesn't matter
>battletech barrowed Japanese anime mech designs
For the initial release of the boardgame retard, there's been hundreds of mechs since that have nothing to do with Macross or other anime.
Anyone try that Zoids fighting game on the Switch? Is it any good?
Its a clan mech thats 10 tons heavier, no shit its better.
good, but still not enough dakka
Looks like Grief Syndrome.
Yeah, they 'changed' them after they were threatened about it.
Who is that quote from??
The feet clamp into the ground/ship/whatever when the cannons get lowered.
Actually the giant robot stuff was just an evolution of the powered armour ideas going around in Sci-Fi back in the 50's by writers like Heinlein.
Shoji Kawamori the original creator of Macross and also the mecha designer that created all of the VFs.
I actually liked the Pacific Rim mechs as far as western goes. Two pilots working with each other in sync is way better than one.

>Calling anyone an utter retard when he takes exaggeration literally
That avatar is perfect for you, by the way.
The Zaku and Leo are the only good looking mechs in the Gundam franchise. The Gundams themselves look like Power Rangers wearing Samurai helmets.
That's an edit you actual retard.
Because if mecha game doesn't feature weighty movement (you can have both weighty feel + unrealistic, over the top, see early TTGL episodes), it's not a mecha game it's third person game reskin. You know it's true.
based
Edit or not, the show is still stupid as fuck. Crap like whats in that webm wouldn't be a surprise if it was actually in the show. Only a true retard can enjoy such a garbage show.

clockwork
None of you fags know about the absolute top tier mech designs in G-Nome
When people say realistic they mean believable. And people definitely compare magic systems between each other. Harry Potter has basically no explaination of magic, it's just something people can do; that's better than the generic isekai elements & MP shit, but inferior to something like Mahouka where magic is very technical and spells are basically programs written by magicians. Then there's raildex where there's no rules and sufficiently advanced magic is science.

This is true, but the problem is they still aren’t grounded because mechs are just straight useless, there job could be done much more efficiently by other machines and it’s rarely explained why they aren’t.
huh?
>tfw titanfall is dead
>the shitty battleroyale spinnoff is wildly successful
it hurts
It's okay, I'm sure one day they'll teach you autists how to not take words literally. You'll get there if you just try hard enough
If your mecha/robot game doesn't feel weighty it fails at being a mecha/robo game. At that point you can just put a model of regular magic human or whatever. You inbred retard.
You can't name any robots that don't have a Japanese counterpart that came before them.
That last Harmony Gold lawsuit was hilarious. They started claiming the rights to designs from other series and Battletech originals, too. Now that it's over with PGI brought back the Warhammer IIC, the Marauder 2, and the Rifleman IIC.
I prefer the left pictures.
Nah look at this
I fucking miss Hawken
They didn't even steal anything, they bought/licensed the designs from the company that then licensed shit out all over the place, shit changed hands so much that HG ended with rights to this and Tatsunoko with rights to that. It ended up a huge clusterfuck with nobody knowing who had the actual rights to anything. Regardless PGI went to court with HG recently and they settled which is why Mechwarrior Online can continue using the redesigned versions of the unseen.
Plenty of exceptions then.

Keep digging your hole deeper you actual autist HAHAHA
looks like everyone unanimously agrees western mechs is terrible and those who do are baiting for (you)s
This user understands. Mechs need to have that sensation of weight and inertia to feel good. Armored Core is aesthetically the best eastern mech series in part because it manages this well.
>that mech looks like a human looks human
Wow poor user, must be hard to live without a head.
Shit taste
Excelsus isn't a Metal Gear. The title was added for marking purposes.
>So the zeta is a mobile armor too?
It should be, but it isn't. Probably because
>Mobile Armor Zeta Gundam
Doesnt have the same brand recognition.
west: closer to realistic. rarely gets into ridiculous size because of the square cube law, unless it's something like pacrim where they directly want to channel jap shit. why have arms holding guns when you can just have rotating turrets or missile launchers?
east: giant humans with guns and katanas flying around, flipping out like ninjas, giant super laser beam cannons, shit that could never come close to existing ever, no thought given into a realistic depiction or design at all, just whatever looks cool
out of the three pictures you used one of them doesn't have fucking feet and one of them is just an anthropomorphic Physalis girl, literally a girl with armor parts slapped on her
This guy doesn't dig giant robots.

Not a worry, I've five years past US drinking age, so tough luck for you faggot.
Power Armor > Mechs
...
Is this supposed to be ironic?
You're saying as if all mechs aren't weeb. It's using tanks or bust.
>just whatever looks cool
And that's the only metric that matters
mechwarrior walkers have absolutely no combat viability, are unaesthetic and are even cumbersome in their own universe. At least the japs are aware that mechs aren't supposed to be a real thing and take liberties with them
LANCER mechs are pretty cool
Had this as my very first PC game, never did beat it though.
So a mech after the marketing team had their way with it?
Your image is, yeah.
btw, if you trace their lineage, Jap mechs originally come from American mech designs. early Jap mechs like Tetsujin/Gigantor channel 50's/60's American mechs, Day the Earth Stood Still kind of stuff
then Mazinger, the first piloted robot, fucks around with square cube law by being way larger than physically possible
Getter Robo was designed literally TO be impossible, it's three planes that smash together and make a robot, combiners and transformers are always unrealistic as fuck
Gundam was pretty much just a regular monster of the week action show with a robot that looked like a person. It jumps, it flips, it gets into hand to hand combat, it has a laser sword and a fucking giant flail (the Gundam Hammer)
Plus alot of them are weird and out there. Specially horus ones. Keeps bits from both types of design
