Both look cool
Western mechs are usually more like walking tanks. Eastern are more sci-fi.
The Western Mech design is arguably more realistic and has less unnecessary moving parts.
Nips are incapable of designing robots that look cool. Look at this horrendous design.
This is one of the few instances where left is cooler, what is the American one from?
o prefer mechs that dont look overly humanoid. like, whats the point in designing a giant robot with humanoid hands, to grip a giant rifle, designed like a regular rifle but just scaled up instead of just building the weaponry into the mech itself?
Western people are low key more socially whipped than their eastern counter parts. Westerners are extremely self conscious what people think about them and I can tell they are constantly trying to fit in so they don’t draw attention to themselves. So in this aspect, western people don’t want to accidentally make something try hard or cringe so they make Corp garbage. Japs on the other hand are similar except they don’t have a rampant drug abuse problem in their nation meaning anxiety from creative and individual display are much lower. Despite what you think about the japs, they have way more self respect than most westerners. They will wear things they throughly enjoy like a cow boy hat and generally will wear it with great pride
I always thought mechs were gay, but Japanese make them even gayer.
American mechs actually look like military vehicles. Japanese mechs look like a dude wearing a bunch of greebles.
that robot looks better than this POS

>Japanese mechs look like a dude wearing a bunch of greebles.
Because that's literally what mechs started as
I like chicken legs.
I like armored core-gundam better, but still. I the turret on legs too.
You funny you.
Hook,line and sinker.

Nice
Next gen Robocop game when

That's a pretty good design
That design is kino though
They’re fake mech?
>Western mechs are usually more like walking tanks
It has character and it’s instantly recognizable, if you have a cast of tank robots no one will give a shit about them.
It definitely is.
F91 is still the best gendumb though.

Looks good to me
shido meado is a hack westaboo

what a dumpsterfire that game was
I like my mecha to be pure aesthetic with 0 ability to work practically in reality.
Not really. The machines from War of the World's were tripods. This is a drawing by over 100 years ago.
gundam is gay and cringe
Is MechWarrior 5 any good or are there mods to make it good?
Between no Clan mechs and many of my favorite old designs (e.g. Catapult or Raven) being changed, I'm not too excited about it.
All that wind in space
This looks like the type of configuration menu I'd autistically spend a lot of time on, I'm in.
>robot wings
>space
>air currents
I can't
mech =/= mecha
wings on mechs are so gay, might as well be a bunch of angels and fairies.
Solar wind, idiot.
I just like robots
that thing on the left looks way cooler
right looks like dumb gook shit for 9 year olds
It's medicore. Do get the official infantry mod. The devs had to remove them for console hardware limitations.
We don't just like things around here
Nothing surpasses it in terms of customization and variety
What western mecha really needs to do to transcend its current rut is to abandon the gay-ass anime MC wish-fulfillment aspect, and instead make the tank-like western mecha operated by a crew.
Star Trek Bridge Crew but you operate a Megazord or some shit.
>at least since it's made of metal it can't do that hackneyed bullshit where the feathers fl--and there go the feathers
>GHOST FEATHERS IN SPACE
Gundam Wing design is actually really cringe. Yeah, I said it. The writing is even more cringe.
I loved both VOTOMs and Symbionic Titan, sue me
Symbionic Titan had a "western" mech too
>Designed by Syd mead
literally all the western ones are japanese
Me too user
Don't give a shit if it's Western or Eastern, partical or impractical, humanoid or tanklike, I'll still believe in the general idea of mechs being the coolest shit in fictional media.
i like western designs better when they know to have fun with them. movie transformers designs were also brilliant
user please
Hey I’m not a space cadet, solar wind sounds like it has aids and cancer in it
transformers are originally japanese
it sounds like you want steel battalion
Maschinen Krieger vidya when?
mechs are gay and retarded
And user was using an example from a western designed series.
>No matter if they're western mechs or eastern mechs. The rocket punch is a classic
ORE WA GUREETO
GUREETO MAJINNNGAAAAA
I like mechs that look like tanks and repurposed construction/agriculture equipment
movie transformers looked like incoherent blobs of metal
Isn't this Phantom Crash, probably the coolest looking mechs in any game imo
if I ever had my way I’d make a moment in a game or show where it’s a combined arms effort with American and Japanese mech/as on the offensive to kick the shit out of the Italians in perfect harmony, Westerns a couple feet back handing out comically large fire support, Easterns up front kicking shit around
This looks like it was made for war imo, but maybe i don’t understand it
