My vote goes to Hawken for breast mech game. Not only was the gameplay fantastic, but the audio/visual design totally sold the idea of being in bipedal tank. And it did it without slowing the gameplay to a crawl like other games.

Attached: 1310510327755.jpg (720x480, 49K)

Because western mecha is a tool, a thing that a pilot sit in and controls like a conventional military vehicle. This is why western mecha is big and bulky.

Eastern mecha is more like a suit that a pilot wears. It's not a vehicle he inhabits so much as an extension of his own body. This is why all of the Jap stuff is basically giant robot samurai with clearly defined humanoid bodies and giant swords and shit.

For the record I prefer western mecha (I love me some big stompy robots), but I can appreciate both, and I like games like the Front Mission series that do their best to blend both styles (Wanzers have humanoid designs, but they are enormous and stompy, however they can dash and be fairly agile when needed).

>Wanzers have humanoid designs, but they are enormous and stompy, however they can dash and be fairly agile when needed).
This is more retarded than standard jap mecha. If you're going to have them skate around and ignore physics just make them humanoid mecha.

>Eastern mecha is more like a suit that a pilot wears
Mostly wrong. All the popular Japanese mecha have cockpits and controls. They just ignore that it can move around and articulate like a human with only pedals and joysticks. Sci-fi can get away with that shit though.

Oh yeah? What you gonna do if i don't huh?

Attached: 7db4e99dgw1f56hgqcpgqj20gp0p07el.jpg (601x900, 206K)

The western bulky mecha were directly inspired by eastern mecha in the first place, though. The truth is that the east popularised the genre and it has always been far bigger there, so historically it has had the most of pretty much every genre. Battletech for example originally started by straight up taking its roster of mecha from various anime.

I wish gravity was a little less punishing so we could have shit like this.

>They just ignore that it can move around and articulate like a human with only pedals and joystick
exactly the problem. It behaves like a suit of armour instead of something being controlled with pedals and joysticks.

FUCK gravity

Yeah, which is a problem if you let it be. Doesn't really bother me. It's all science fiction. Nothing in it would work so may as well just go for it.

SIEG

The usual explanation is that the pilots are not directly controlling individual limb movement most of the time. They're doing something similar to how videogames work, you hold forward for example without worrying about the specific placement of the legs and the machine itself figures out the details. The weakest pilots are only using these basic macros to get around and do stuff, while the best pilots can make minor modifications to their actions on the fly, and have come up with their own complicated macros and more detailed understanding of the movements and timings to make it more effective.

And they usually have them. The controls of the mechs just don't really factor into that. Gundam for example has a whole bunch of rules in how shit works that makes it all seem pretty realistic, but they are still sword fighting with joysticks.

Armored Core 4 For Answer and any of the previous installments.

If you have a switch Daemon X Machina is coming out and that looks pretty good

Why didn't the pig just use scamstarter then?

because they aren't willingly malevolent, they're just a bad studio who don't know how to finish a game on time. This is a game that is running 2 years late after all.

EDF proves that gamers are willing to put up with sub par graphics if it means the game engine can throw a thousand ants onto the screen at any given time, which gives me hope for a ST game with huge bug swarms.

You're more than welcome to leave this board at any time.

The fact that they had to be bribed by Epic is proof it DIDN'T sell well enough, and now it's going to sell even worse because probably over half the pre-orders refunded.

Oh I see, you want everything to be exactly like the unrealistic idea in your mind despite EDF being almost word for word what you said you want.

That's what I was saying. The game will make enough money for them to keep limping along with completely mediocre mech games that no one is aware of except for the boomers who played it as kids and simdads.

>I want a game about the military taking on giant bugs with a ridiculous campy atmosphere

It's pretty simplistic SRPG, aka grid turn based game where you watch flashy attacks to go off.
It's only decent from gameplay standpoint but it's great fanservice series.

why even bother giving that thing arms? why not just additional guns. are better yet why not just use a tank at that point, you're just presenting a higher target profile with a lack of frontal armor to boot.

so it can use highly common weapons in universe where humanoid suits are prevalent and have cariety of arsenal to use via two hands.

This. Why bother trying to standardize mounting points across dozens of manufacturers or models of mechs when you can just assume they all have hands and build your weapons accordingly.

so why not just actual modular weapon systems then? or even then just design a slot for the actual common weapons. arms literally make no sense for that thing.

>Why bother trying to standardize mounting points across dozens of manufacturers or models of mechs when you can just assume they all have hands and build your weapons accordingly.
giving all your vehicles arms is the literal definition of standardization it doesn't even make sense from a maintenance point of view. that shit is gonna fail so much in actual battlefield situations

what the point of modular weapon system when making hands is cheaper?
This is universe where it's outright easy to mass produce gigantic humanoid vehicles.
Developing modular weapon system is just pointless. Especially for proof of the concept artilerry vehicle.
>actual battlefield situations
As much as I love ZZ OP, this is anime, user.
Not a real life

You used your arms to type that, faggot, and I used mine to reply. Arms are useful

Anyone play mechwarrior online? Sit good?

>what the point of modular weapon system when making hands is cheaper?
it literally isn't a mounting point is just gonna be a hole, a platform and a firing mechanism. you need digits and a lot of actuators to get that hand moving not to mention the maintenance alone is gonna make that thing a nightmare

>Realismfags
>Tankfags
Get out

And you need a new gun which must fit in that hole
And new reloading mechanism,
And whole a lot of other things in a world where weapons standarized for giant hands instead.
You are being dumb, user.

Except that every single manufacturer would have their own mountings and couplings in different sizes and formats because of course they would.

We live in a world where there are 15 different standards for the simplest electrical outlet, can you imagine how batshit goofy it would be for giant mech joints?

Mecha quite often drop and swap between weapons on the fly. That's one thing that would likely be easier with a hand or hand-like appendage.

>And you need a new gun which must fit in that hole
no yo dont heres a talon drone with a bog standard machine gun
>And new reloading mechanism,
what is an ammo box?

>Except that every single manufacturer would have their own mountings and couplings in different sizes and formats because of course they would.
unless they fucking standardize the mount like what they did with NATO ammo. not criticizing mechs just the Hildolfr design in general

fuck me heres the drone

So you need to develop ammo box, then who gonna replace or refill that ammo box? What mechanism or staff will be needed there?
>bog standard
what standard?
are you talking about vulkans? 60mm Vulkans usually embedded in gundams, sure. In top of the line Federation suit at that point in time and top suit in whole universe.
Zaku were equipped with 120mm machine guns, already twice the size of vulkans of most technologically advanced suit.
So you had options something either on par with 60mm or worse to be embedded into Hildolfr. Or add hands to utilize commonly avaiable 120mm machine gun.
Choice is obvious
And what that drone has to do with UC gundam universe?
You are just being retarded for no reason?

user an ammo box is just that a box, no need for anything special no need for manual reloading of magazines.
>And what that drone has to do with UC gundam universe?
I just retorted about the fact that you said you had to develop new weapons. you could fucking USE the zaku's machine gun WITHOUT fucking arms. the Hildolfr looks like a stable platform you DO NOT NEED arms on that thing to mount something bigger

You avoiding the question about who and what is gonna refill that ammo box. You can't use commonly avaiable ammo drums after all, you need to either being able to swap that ammo box or refill it somehow else.
Instead of using common issues ammo drum magazins zaku has.
Let's say it's possible to mount zaku machine guns on a hildolfr as platofrm. So that would make them stantionary thing which an fire in one direction at best.
With hands you get full freedom of aim. With fraction of the additional cost cause fucking everything has hands in gundam universe.

Man you realist fags are retarded.

There were very little actual fights until the end of the show. It was more random space opera than a mecha show.

no one needs to refill that ammo box if you already fill it with say 1500-3000 rounds of ammo instead of bothering with giant magazines
>Let's say it's possible to mount zaku machine guns on a hildolfr as platofrm
it IS look at how much space is wasted on that thing.
>So that would make them stantionary thing which an fire in one direction at best.
the Hildolfr has a coaxial turret by the looks of it no need to fire in just 1 direction

>Man you realist fags are retarded.
not saying arms are retarded it's just very retarded on the Hildolfr. if you're gonna waste time on turning a tank into a half assed gundam might as well turn it into a very good tank instead to quote from the hildolfrs own page >"the Hildolfr can use the arms to adequately wield MS weapons such as a Zaku-type machine guns. The Hildolfr can still use its main cannon, however, because of the placement of the armature locks, it can no longer be braced, thus it risks being keeled over by each shot."

It was a blast, but I played the PC version and it was shut down back in 2017 so the new developer could concentrate on the PS4 and Xbone ports.

I haven't played it on consoles so I don't know if they made any major changes or not. I think it's still F2P though, so you could always give it a shot.

they nerfed the mechs following some streamer rage quitting midway a 400k prize tournament, now it's barely useful and people still complain about it.

More than thousand of 120mm rounds? Increasing load to such degree for what reason again?
And who and when going to refill those rounds in battlefield conditions?
>the Hildolfr has a coaxial turret by the looks of it no need to fire in just 1 direction
It's for long range attacks, machine guns are close range defense. Limiting effectional range of defense is dumb thing.

>not saying arms are retarded it's just very retarded on the Hildolfr.
Why can't you get thru your numb skull that arms are fucking cheap as fuck tech in gundam universe.
That's why they make more sense than creating fucking mount with deathtrap of few hundred of explosive rounds somewhere near - just to save few bux on arms for no reason.

What's easier to do, refill special box with rounds one by one or grab some magazines if you are near friendlies or near their wrekages? Especially considering federation also uses zaku and their machineguns.
>nigger the Hildolfr has a 30cm main gun where the fuck do you think the ammo is stored?
what's better one deathtrap in the back or three deathtraps one in the back and two on the sides.
What is easier to defend? Or just be aware of in the fight?
>it's just dumb on the Hildolfr
I still waiting to see any other reason aside of your shitty realistic aesthetic taste. Hildolfr never was massproduced and left as experimental vehicle. But arms were the least of it's problems

>that only works if you're on a fucking zaku or gundam. why would a fucking artillery unit be on the front lines anyway?
so artillery never can be flanked or engaged into a fight? It's mobile artillery platform meaning it can relocate on it's own will.
therefore it has self defense weaponry in case of direct fight engagement.
>that's what armor is for nigger, make your ammo supply internal and use the Hildolfrs huge size actually mean something
Do you have german tank designers in your bloodline? Cause "just slap some armor on it" is hilarious answer where you can be killed with one shot of a beam rifle.
Maybe before engaging with argument you try to familiriaze yourself a bit with universe before making a fool of yourself.
>it's not an aesthetic taste it's a dumb on what's supposed to be a super heavy artillery piece
so I still waiting for some other argument aside of yelling "it's dumb" all the time. Do you have any?
Also if you could notice the tracks, it's very agile mobile artillery piece, as mentioned above - if it used for deep operations it can easily be discovered and engaged in fight.

So far there were numerous reasons listed for advantages for arms in case of gundam universe.
Your only reason against it was "it's dumb".
Hilarious.

not saying slap armor on it I was retorting to your saying that ammo boxes are deathtraps which I guess sure?, I know beams can 1HKO units but if that's the logic why even bother putting armor in the first place right? why the shouldguard on zakus? you're not gonna be facing beams all the time and if you do you're fucked anyway
>Your only reason against it was "it's dumb".
I was saying why put the arms on the thing instead of dedicated weapon mounts and internal ammo storage? you kept on bitching about rearming with mags and shit. the Hildolfr in it's tank mode actually looks ok as an mbt
also calm the fuck down

Should mechs be agile or should they be ponderous?

the agility's the only thing they got going for them, no?

>yes, that's what ccw coaxial weapons are for
And again, you limiting your angle of attacking via your torso.
Arms gives you easier and more accurate way to be able to target enemies. Why drop them in favor of mounted guns? Is there any argument here aside of "it's dumb"?
Cost saving measure? Shaving off few bux on prototype vehicle? Can you provide ANY reasoning aside of your taste?
>not saying slap armor on it I was retorting to your saying that ammo boxes are deathtraps which I guess sure?
because initial your only solution to problem of increased amount of instakill weakpoints seemed to be "just slap more armor on it"
And I pointed out that slapping armor is not panacea. More armor would mean even heavier vehicle.
When again - it's agile artillery platform and arms do go in hand with agility.
>I was saying why put the arms on the thing instead of dedicated weapon mounts and internal ammo storage?
why don't put the arms? Why don't put commonly used and capable arms which have arrange of uses instead of weapon mounts? Why not give access to all hand weaponry instead of developing worse alternative?
Two can play this game.

why choose? heavier chassis are slower but take more punishment and carry bigger guns, lighter chassis are fast, nimble, can fly for longer periods of time.
both have time and place in the battlefield

FASA went and bought licensing for the designs in NA, IIRC from the original creator/artist

But who they got the license from apparently didn't have the right to license to FASA.

Harmony Gold took FASA to court, suing them for using the anime designs in NA, which HG didn't like because they were doing their robotech shit in NA.

This court case dragged for a long time, FASA was winning the case, but ran out of money to continue so they settled out of court with HG.

HG have been massive dickheads about the license ever since and continue to cause problems over it.

to buy digitally you need asian country's PSN account. Like Singaporean one. After that you need to buy prepaid cards of that country.
It's quite annoying process which usually costs more than physical, so it's good option if your country has heavy import tax. If there is no such thing better just look for PA sale, I think you can get it for 30 bux and below if you keep an eye on it

I will check play asia eventually, thanks dude

no problem, it's a good game, I hope it'll go on sale soon.

shame they directly connected xenoblade 2 to xenoblade 1.
it was good universe.

I haven't played 2, but the first game ended perfectly, i wouldn't mind a prequel though of some sort, exploring the limbs of Bionis and Mechonis that were not shown in the first game

You better avoid xenoblade 2 honestly. It doesn't add anything of value.
Dunno about prequel, it was really well made world with good designs. I just not sure if current monolith would be able to pull it off.

From what i know, 2 was kinda put on hold and rushed because Nintendo dragged over the Monolith team to help them work on BOTW for a long time after XenoX

Yeah, it was obviously rushed - looking at amount of patches, some of witch added basic as fuck features. But that's just an excuse honestly, they still released it. To success which is only make them feel that it's okay to put such rushed game out.
Now I bet they also work on BotW 2, so I really don't expect anything of value from monolith for awhile.
Gimme Project x Zone 3 if they want forgiveness.

Eh, it's not their fault Nintendo controls their asses to push their bigger IPs, it could be part of that why XenoX was rushed too, they dragged them off to work on BOTW and split the team in two, which never goes well.

If given a break i bet X2 or another form of Xeno game could be amazing

dunno about X being rushed, it felt that they fun with that one. Adding various tons of experimental game mechanics which no longer will see light of day. Only game problem was story, and I kinda liked that change.
after all what the point of rushing the niche game to already failed at that point system?

Banned on my shithole network unfortunately

I found a download, this game better be good

It is, enjoy.

Try to find the up-armored edition if you can though since it's better.

Vengeance or Mercs? You can get Mercs from mektek with a special downloader and has no disk requirement, and Vengeance is complete abandonware so there's no buying it.

MWO is okay, but not good, its playable if you need something to fill that big stompy robot itch, but at the same time the game is a clusterfuck because the weapon convergence is way too linent leading to most people just playing mechs that can alpha strike other mechs out of the game

i tried finding the mektek release and couldnt find one. it seems like they changed their mind about making it free and yanked the downloads. i could but th old games physically though right? my question is if there are any downloads of black knight or vanilla that dont require a disc. i would settle for mw4m though.

Mechwarrior 4 spoiled the fucking shit out of me as a kid. i assumed that would be the future of gaming. the joystick support made it feel like the fucking future.

Is there nothing on any abandonware sites?
