What is a good mech game
Hawken and Titanfall both look fun.
That Mechwarrior Living Legends mod for Crysis Wars is supposed to be good I think. Never played it though.
Armored Core

If you have a Vita get 3 or Silent Line now. Right now.

Anyone remember Chromehounds?
Front Mission 3.
Armored Core Last Raven
That said it's not a good entry level game.
>>252797760
Armored Core 4, For Answer, Silent Line, and Last Raven.
I personally really like the gameplay of for answer, and it's the reason I got into AC series again after a long time.
>>252797760
Phantom Crash
S.L.A.I. Steel Lancer Arena International
GunValkyrie

pick your Armored Core (3 is a good choice, IMO)
Zone of the Enders 1, 2, Fist of Mars
I'm not too knowledgeable on Mechwarrior titles, but there are good ones
Gundam Extreme VS Full Boost
Virtual-On (original, Oratorio Tangram)
Any others?

>>252801268
>>252797889
Those arent really mech games just fps games with mech gimmicks
>>252797760
The best one ever made was Chromehounds, but its gone now. Weep, for you shall never know such joys.
I played armored core and it was okay I guess yeah,the only replayability is in the parts. Multiplayer sucks everyone just stacks tankparts and missles the ams sucks dick
the front mission series were my favorite but i fucked up everytime when i edited my mechs classes too much. (IE 2 blade mechs and 2 rifle mechs)
Mech warrior online sucks dick
Hawken sucks bigger dick
and titanfall is the troll of the mech series titanfall was overhyped for sure
mechwarrior living legends
Get the original Mechwarrior games, considering you can get them all for free and they don't suck ass.
Armored Core series is awesome, though the latest installments (V and Verdict Day) suffer from horrifying frame rate problems. Think Dragon's Dogma, but constant high level spell induced performance issues. It's that fucking bad.

Armored Core for Answer.
Armored Core 4 is a prequel to it, but the game is short as fuck (literally an hour or two long) and knowing what happens in it isn't that important. I paid full fucking 60€ for the thing and still regret it to this day. Felt like a paid demo.
Also steer away from both V and V-Day because of >>252803996

>>252804519
Ofcourse
But i loved mech warriors since the show
i got deeply inbeded into the story
infact one of my favorite games that hasnt gotten mentioned is mech commander 1 and 2

Armored Core V: Verdict Day is an excellent mecha game bros!

>>252806164
>Mechwarrior F2P
You mean Mechwarrior Online? It has a cash shop, and you can buy golden Clan mechs costing $500 apiece so there's that
>>252806172
Shame about it being dead as fuck in the anglosphere.
It's the best dead game no one played.
>>252804760
Thanks man.

>>252797760
Not this thread again.
Mechwarrior 2
now GTFO
>>252806464
It's not dead, this is misinformation. People still play it. I literally just got the game last week and we're running into different people all the time.
Also the frame rate issues were fixed in VD. Anybody saying otherwise is shitposting because of how bad V was.
>>252806371
But it's not pay to win, right?
That's what my friend told me and I trust his word, also have never seen it being p2w claims here on 4chan so there's that too.
As much as I dislike cosmetics and cash shops, if it doesn't affect the core game there's not much to fret about.

>It was never localised, wasn't it?
It's fucking dubbed in english and I don't think the xboxhueg is even region locked.

Every mech game is secondary to this. Too bad none of you kids will ever get to experience it.
>>252805391
I second this, Heavy Gear 1 and Heavy Gear 2 were the best mech games ever made
Made by Activision when they were good. Holy fuck I'll never forget these games or their atmosphere as long as I live. Glorious
>>252808501
Heavy Gear 1 is still one of the most complete game experiences I have ever had. Comes close to Another World as a child
An absolute masterpiece of a game

>>252808501
The devs really had some balls, not many games come bundled with asshuge controller setups
>>252810350
this is absolutely ludicrous (and amazing)
>>252803346
You think Hawken isn't a mech game ? oh boy here we go
>>252810497
The best part? Every single little button is actually functional and has a real use in the game itself
>>252810350
Just because I'm jealous about not having that, I'm posting this.
>>252808208
I've thought of how to remove legging. Instead of killing the mech when the legs are destroyed, it should just make them limp and move slower. Combined with a VTOL that can lift damaged mechs back to base for repair, it wouldn't be seen as much of a scrubby tactic.

I want to like the MW4 series but I absolutely hate how much they dumbed down the weapons. Literally everything except missiles became fucking hitscans! AC20? Nope, it's just 1 fucking hitscan. In MW3 it was a badass burst cannon with every shot individually modeled. Why was 4 such a step back?
Still far better than MWO though, I must say. Still handles like a dream with HOTAS.
>>252807096
He's wrong. MWO is complete shit. They've cut the value of in-game currency several times, and quite frankly having to grind so much to afford to get different weapons completely kills the fun of customization.
Plus. it's practically impossible to play on a HOTAS setup because you get utterly shat on by mousers
>>252806464
God, why didn't they just put it on PC? That would put all the UI issues right to bed since navigating them with a mouse would be easy
Get the Dark Souls 2 porting team to do it, because if anything, DS2 ran like a dream
>>252812585
Armored Core controls would not work on Mouse/Keyboard.

>>252812687
Different guy, but why not? For the longest time even the view controls in Armored Core were digital, Anon
Also you forget the PC can use gamepads
EDF2025 as a fencer
>>252811978
What the fuck? Does it really have FPS-style mouselook?
For some reason I really liked mechs in the first Lost Planet. They feel just right. And got nice proportions of weeaboo and west to them.
>>252811049
How was it? I heard it was shit.
>>252812973
Have you played 4/4A/V/VD?
You shouldn't be restricted to only 8 directions of movement in those games. Not to mention boost and boost charging being pressure sensitive.
>>252812938
I know that feel so much.
>>252813165
It was unplayable. Kinect is a piece of shit.
>>252813128
Sorta. Weapons mounted on the arms can turn pretty much instantly, while your torso catches up. Either way, it's unwieldy as all fuck, because they're on two separate reticules.
I wish it was like MW3 where they both shared the same reticule and torso weapons just wouldn't fire if your reticule was too far to the sides
>>252813258
4/4A disgusted me because I didn't really like just boosting through the air all the time, having grown up with the PSX/PS2 games
Is ACV/VD like that? Is it worth getting V or should I just go right to VD?
>>252813528
V-era is all about mobility through jumping off of surfaces, the boosting is on the tame side of things otherwise.
I can see why people shittalk Mechwarrior Online based off how it was a few months back, but since the clans are in the game now the balance has been much improved.
I'm actually having fun again, which is something I can say I havent had since the introduction of the Stalker
>>252813528
Verdict Day is the alive game, and the mobility is less about constant boosting through the air and more about jumping off surfaces like mechanized ninjas.
It's also not as fast as For Answer so you don't have to worry about twitch reactions.
>>252797760
If I only pick up AC 4 or 4a, which is the better choice?
Why is there no armored core for PC....?
>>252813845
Are you sure? You['re saying that the new $50+ mechs are balanced and not OP as fuck?
I'm sorry, Anon. I've played enough F2P games to know this can't be physically possible.
RAD's prettyfun
Titanfall is pretty damn good. Just bought the season pass and I'm loving the new maps. Gameplay on foot is great. Gameplay in the mechs are great. Its just great all around.

>Advocating the purchase of a season pass

>>252814023
This, besides, balance is the least of my problems with MWO. I just don't like how it handles compared to the originals, how your view doesn't actually bob around with your mech, how turning your legs is instant instead of ramping up (preventing small adjustment), and how people have talked about already where using a joystick is shooting yourself in the foot.
Do they have other gamemodes than 1-life shit yet? You tend to die fast in MWO, so I don't like having to sit out the rest of the round, I wish it was like in MWLL where you just go back to base and have to buy a new mech with in-round currency

Didn't hold DaS and DaS2 from getting ported. You can connect a console controller into a PC if you don't want to use M+KB.

I just read about the controls....but it would be fine if played with fps controls. Wasd, then mouselook. R click for right weapon, l click for left weapon, q to switch weapon, space to jump, e to boost.....what else was needed?
Then we can use 360 controllers to...

>>252815986
Are you forgetting that ACV/CD is already on 360...?
And as far as boosting, that's on a trigger, isn't it? Which yes, is analog
>>252805391
Being HG fan is suffering. Why can't it run on modern computers?
>>252816196
No, boosting is not on a trigger. Have you really not played the games? Is that why you want them on PC?
>>252816018
I know dude its fucking awesome to grab a dude out of his mech and throw him across the map. Or to drop your mech on top of some unsuspecting fool.

No, V. Did VD change the default mapping? if I remember, it had boost on LB and boost charge on X. Going to say again that you can remap controls however you want. Unless they took that out of VD too.
So yes, it is perfectly playable on a 360 pad, because, well, it was on the 360.
so is Hawken at least half decent?
>>252819006
If you're fine with F2P P2W, it's decent.
>>252808208
That's how the core mechwarrior community has always been. Legging at least has always been seen as a dishonorable tactic that only freebirth scum employ.
>>252804760
V and Verdict Day don't have framerate problems on my PS3. Definately start with 4/4A if you are new to the series, as they play similar to the previous games (though there are some big differences).
V is even more different and isn't a good first AC game. Only fans enjoy it.
>>252819006
>>252819102
It's ok. It looks P2W but it's really just pay 2 unlock shit faster. The starter mech you get is one of the best in the game.
>>252819743
So it's pay2fun free2grind
>>252819514
>Definately start with 4/4A if you are new to the series, as they play similar to the previous games
In my opinion V was a bit more like the PSX/PS2 era titles, striking a balance between the quick boost hell that was ACFA and the slower paced old games.
I really wanted to like V, but the frame rate problems got me and the online died way too early. Really shitty for a game that was focused even more on multiplayer than previous ones. Even some of the main story missions are actually impossible to complete with a close ranged tank mech (can't reach some areas) and without other people to play with you're pretty much forced to play a medium weigh, bipedal, jack of all trades type mech yourself.
>>252820065
Pretty much. There's a good chance you'll enjoy playing the starter mech, and it's not that much grinding to get the monies for your first mech purchase. So unless you're autisitc and will try to get every mech and not pay, give it a shot.
Worst case you just uninstall the damn thing.

Whatever you do, stay away from Mechwarrior Online. Its a huge pile of shit that rapes the series. Its literally an arena deathmatch game with a never ending grind and pay2win mechs.
The devs are also completely inept and are in way over their heads.
And if you want clan mechs, I hope you have lost of money.

yeah, sadly they're really the only ones really truckin hard. The genre is in a 00's space sims kinda slump.
Whoever holds the rights to mechwarrior/battletech has been giving them to just the shittiest fucking dev's. (although that turn based hex strat looks alright)
I just want to be in a clan and kill some impure inner sphere scum, I don't think I'm asking much. But instead we get a shit PvP online only game with grinding and pay to win mechanics. Jordan Weisman, where did you go??

Personally I thought Heavy Gear made more sense as a setting than Battletech
>4000 years in the future
>Gears are only 2-3 times taller than the pilot
>Tanks still ruin their shit
>Run on V-Engines instead of magical compact fusion reactors
>Uses a learning computer to help run the Gear instead of Battletech's MIND-READING HELMETS (ok this isn't actually that far-fetched but still)
Lore-wise Heavy Gear is kinda lame though. Battletech reminds me of 40K. There is no infrastructure or technological advancement, everyone is constantly fighting for power, and every side is an asshole.
>>252843970
Not a whole lot of them, maybe ten or so at most.
>>252843361
Very short an raw.
>>252843840
Likewise. They don't go very far beyond what's right in front of you, what you're dealing with in the story, which is especially bad in Front Mission games.
When I get around to just like make mecha gaem I am dedicating six months at least just to mythopoeia and world building before doing anything else.

why can't the west design good looking mechs?
Are these models that you have to put together yourself? I've never done any of that before
Or do they come put together?
I want this because its basically the exact same mech I made for Armored Core 4 Answer

Elitist don't like that stuff, As it stands though, you kinda gotta take what you can get.
But really, so much shit is on the menu, it is suffering, pure and simple.
>>252846782
How can a model set be for beginners or advanced
You literally punch little plastic bits out of a wire thingy, sand it down, a paint it, and stick the pieces together according to instructions. It's not like a jigsaw puzzle with intentional challenge.
Or is it?
Do model makers try to make their models a challenge?

My roommate is absolutely obsessed with its development, I was watching a Q&A interview with the guy not too long ago. Seems like he really wants to provide a good experience to fans of the genre, no broad appeal bullshit. I hope to fuck it doesn't suck.

Would I be stupid to buy it right now? It looks just like Chromehounds and I need my fix

That's actually what I meant. One faction basically looks identical except with a different style of head. The other has more angular features and looks more like a Wanzer.

Code Geass Knightmare Frames manage to skii like AT, have the pilot in the core like AT and look nothing like AT.
Also the mechs in FMP.
Or the VF from Macross, and the Destroid from the same series.
>>252848358
Remember when Shining Herasy was an untranslated Holy Grail that no subber wanted to touch because apparently a proper translation would be too hard?

It has a few Okawara touches sure. Most Mecha does these days.
The influence on that design is more Votoms than Gundam though, both designed by Okawara.

Legging is disallowed on SJ's server, but everywhere else, it's generally ok. Sadly, SJ was the only server populated for a long time till it shut down.
Ramming Jets is pretty stupid though, suciding into someone's torso should be a kill since it makes sense, but there should be some sort of punishment attached to it like a rank demotion. Otherwise heavy and assault mechs just wind up useless because 30k C Bill Sullas will just keep ramming them.

What you're seeing in the arm is again and Votoms thing, it's a pressurized cylinder that allows the mech to punch with great force.
Many of these games came from a place of Japanese game developers being unable to make the licensed game they want so they ended up making a 'similar but intellectually distinct' approximation.
They couldn't make a Mobile Suitâ„¢ or an Armored Trooperâ„¢ game So they make a Assault Suit or Armored Core game.
Why didn't Gasaraki ever made it into SRW but fucking Patlabor did?

Exactly what I'm talking about. And I'm not trying to hate on people liking what I don't like, it's just frustrating to see a mech thread with 300+ replies and only a handful of posters who aren't erroneously conflating mecha with mechs. Most people seem to think they're the same thing, but there is a huge conceptual difference between the two that affects gameplay in various ways. Not all humanoid-shaped vehicles are created equal.
>>252857465
They're exactly the same thing.
Dougram the Mecha and ShadowHawk the Mech.
Crabgunner the Mecha and Goliath the Mech.
Same shit different name.
The only reason people think there is a difference is ignorance.

Is this the new "WRPG vs JRPG"?
I personally don't care. As long as it's got mechanical robots and isn't a shit game, its probably up my alley.
>>252856609
My HDD was only big enough for a handful big titles back then. I had to think about what to remove before I could install anything. Now I hardly ever bother to uninstall a game after playing.
Makes me think about the people who complain about some current PC games demanding 20 GB or more from their HDD.
I think a single decently sized SSD would be enough if I started deleting games again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZdYDe47nyU
>>252858757
>What you're looking for is first person cockpit view games with giant robots right?
Not necessarily. I suppose my view does place "mechs" closer to simulation than "mecha", though it needn't be an actual sim.
The distinction that used to be prevalent is that mechs are slow, lumbering vehicles that could be generalized as tanks with legs (similar to your pic), whereas mecha are typically characterized as being much more agile, and dexterous, like giant armored humans. Compare Gungriffon Blaze to Zone of the Enders. Saying they're the same because they both have giant robots is like equating Rainbow Six to Halo because they both have guns.
>>252804025

Battletech took the a off Mecha and suddenly people started grasping at straws to look for distinctions.

Except it doesn't because there is no clear distinction between the two.
The only real point you could make would be world building for a tabletop versus world building for a cartoon, but that has nothing to do with east vs west but differences in the mediums.
>>252797760
I have been emulating Front Mission5, its pretty good. But the story is boring me.
I wish someone really crunched down and made a mech simulator. Like a MBT simulator.

>>252863205
I know, it's retarded that people somehow think they're different.
I really want a mech game or a space fighter game on an actual simulation engine like IL2 1946 or DCS.
>>252863080
Go into /lit/ and say that there is no difference between western folk tales and eastern folk tales you will get shit on hard.
We're (or at least I am) indeed talking about world building, part of the appeal in games like Battletech/Shadowrun/40k is the lore, how the technology came about, the spread of, and or creation of factions and figures within the respected universe. That is a very important aspect to me when I'm looking for a mech game.
>>252863401
Well they obviously are, but my point is who cares? It's a niche enough genre already, there's no point in further subdividing it.
>>252863570
You'd be right at home with mecha since it does that too. Your prejudice comes from a place of ignorance.

>>252863512
Nobody will make anon. Which means its up to us.
>>252862312But it's true.RPG is a shit genre definition. 99% of vidya are role-playing games. You play a role. It stems from traditional pen 'n' paper roleplaying games. Doesn't matter the genre, it's still a role-playing game if you're playing as someone else than yourself.
>>252864142
It has lots of novels. So does Gundam.
But you see, no one translates it. There's fucking millions of side stories, shorts, and technical novels that get totally missed by the western fanbase because we can't read it, if it gets scanned alone at all. It wouldn't shock me in the slightest if Gundam, UC alone, had side works rivaling BT.
>>252863648
Exactly, so as soon as we can stop retards from saying Mechs and Mecha are somehow two different generes the better.
>>252864081
Oh don't start, you can take that shit to /m/. This debate has been had 100 times and it's just as flimsy as the Mech vs Mecha one.
>>252864142
Not really, battletech is pretty standard as far as things like Macross, Gundam and Votoms go. Anything with a large Metaverse tends to get all the nitty-gritty details worked out in supplementary materials.
>>252864480
That thinking ruins the entire point of genres. Everything is now an action game. Everything is now a fighting game.
The point isn't to go off the names, it's to go off what the most common perception of titles that belong to that genres name, so you can then compare how similar games are to it. You're saying it's useless because you alone treat it entirely literal in order to make it useless.

>ITT: ignorant baka gaijin try to pretend their silly western mechs are somehow not ripped straight out of glorious nipponese media
>>252863943
man, I'm not hating on it. I've pretty much watched every mech related animation there is. When it comes to a game though, that I'd really want to play, that carries the aura of a particular style, games like Mechwarrior really ring true to where I get my sci-fi boner.
Gasaraki/Blame! vs Matrix/eXistenZ
I like all of it, but I'd rather play a game based off of Gasaraki then Matrix. Its sorta like that.
>It's the year 2091
>PC still needs to emulate Armored Core to have mech games that look fine.
>Mechwarrior looks like arse
>>252864731
For the millionth time, there is no distinction and there never has been. Front Mission is the same as Mechwarrior is the same as ZOE is the same as every other mecha game in existence, and you are an ignorant fool for thinking otherwise.
>>252864523
Well there's also like 400 page books on background and shit.
Shame it's all in Japanese.
>>252865026
No translations anywhere?!
damn that is cool.
>>252864731
Ah yes I may have formulated myself badly.
My point isn't "hurr every game is every genre because my autism says so". I just wanted to point out that some genres, namely rpgs, have really dumb names. It would be like having a specific film genre called "film with dialogue". It's such a common element. At least "action" games, for example, are mainly focused on hectic and intense mechanics, whereas the term rpg is so much more broad and doesn't refer to the central points of the genre.
Or something like that.
>>252865017
I didn't even say that, super tardo. I was just calling that guy are moron for his exact way of thinking.
>>252864762
Well originally yeah, but most of the modern battle mechs are sorta original now.
They've reinterpreted many of those originally Japanese designs.
>>252864736
Casualized F2P game that cuts out everything that made it a mech sim game. Just like MWO.
>>252865017
>>252865306
Hahaha oh wow he is just so desperate to get people to believe him
This whole mechs versus mecha argument is stupid. It's arguing over semantics. They're all the same thing.
That said, I would love love LOVE some new mecha games with the stompier, less flighty mecha like the AT-STs or Battlewalkers from BF2142.
>>252865767
Forgot pic. It's criminal how few games there are featuring the Chicken-walker, and that there's no game which centers around operating one.
>>252861813
Is 4 good? I heard mixed reviews
>>252865910
Steel Battalion's got some stompies
>>252865767
Saying mech and mecha are the same is stupid. It's like comparing wrestling to judo. One is slow, the other is fast.
>>252865749
>>252866652
Except the japs can do both slow and fast without any problem.
>>252866652
Saying sonic and mario are the same thing is stupid, one is slow and one is fast. If Mario is a platformer then sonic is a fastformer.
>>252866850
eh, I guess. I wish they would do the former more often.
>>252866735
>that hinting
>>252864536
>it's just as flimsy as the Mech vs Mecha one.
Try saying that something like Flag and Getter are the same shit with a straight face, go ahead.
>>252866323
True! We need more of that. I'd love to see a sequel or something similar, it doesn't even need to be as hardcore as the original as long as it's not just an FPS or TPS with a robot skin. Sure, simplify it so it doesn't need a proprietary joystick which nobody buys, just make it complicated enough to be satisfying to pull off.
I'll admit I just love the AT-ST. Something about the weird, flimsy design that seems like something designed for a specific purpose, not designed to save the universe like some more outlandish mecha. It's an Apache on legs, and that's what I want.
>>252866939
How slow do you want them?
Iron gear is slow as shit.

>>252867213
Some people will say anything just to get a rise out of someone. Stay frosty.
>>252864523
Pretty much this, there is ALWAYS going to be a fuckton of content the western audience never sees or hears about
>>252867213
Read Go and say it has no flavors of real robot. It's too easy to blur the lines, they were made as an arbitrary line drawn in the sand taken from a game series that just went with whatever.
>>252797760
I dunno about 'good' but MAV seems promising for what it is.
On the downside most of the srs bsns super optimized vehicles look like this.
>>252867736
>metafaging chromehounds and mav
I will never understand this.
>>252867736
What the hell is going on here?
>>252867279
Not who you're responding to, but about as slow as a modern military vehicle. Fast trot at most, sprint for emergency situations. Also depending on what role the mech plays.
Preferably no flight or jet boosting/rocket shoes or jumping around. Those are fine in their own way, but I'd like something like what mechwarrior is.
>>252868174
What about Skating, can they have motorized skates?
>>252867981
Basically they put the cockpit behind and below the legs and guns, and gave it a thin front profile so it's harder to hit.
That image is taken from the side.
>>252851605
It was always free though, because it worked with the Crysis Wars demo
How does it deal with GameSpy being dead? Do people just play on GameRanger now?
>>252850584
Even though it makes it different from the BT boardgame they should just eliminate legging by making destroyed legs still work, but just slowly, instead of killing the mech completely
>>252868396
Because armored troopers walk slow as fuck, but can skate around nimbly, terrain permitting.
>>252868174
Gasaraki, Flag, VOTOMS, Patlabor off the top of my head.
>>252867920
I'll say.
Then again it can be a fun break from what I usually do, which is to just tape a bunch of shotguns on top of a fast wheeled platform.
>>252867981
The front plate is a shield; it protects the generator, legs and cockpit from damage. The cockpit itself is located behind the legs and is supported by thin metal struts.
The stuff up there is a series of SMGs and shotguns... I think. They're mounted way up high to allow the mech to fire over obstacles.
>Armored Core Silent Line Portable
>Armored Core Last Raven Portable
which one? I have a big mecha itch lately, and want one for my vita
>>252868396
>>252868697
ATs have rollerblades,
>>252868396
Eh. That's skating the line there (pun), only for short bursts. For reference: Armored Core 5 is too fast, and 4/FA are obviously way out.
I want lumbering mecha. I'd like to be piloting a mech which is a tank on legs which shakes from side to side as it moves. Skates remove that.
>>252848012
The cockpit HUD wasn't casual enough for people, so unfortunately they did away with the displays-on-the-cockpit-model thing and just made everything overlays
Disgusting, it was one of the few things Hawken did right
>>252797760
Mech Warrior 2
>>252868886
Silent Line. Last Raven is better but it's not somewhere you want to start unless you have some experience with the series.
Are there any mech games in a fantasy setting?
I'm sick of Sci-Fi hogging all the mecha.
>>252868952
then why not just pilot western mechs?
I don't get western mechs they're no real psychological aspect to them, at the end of the day they're giant boxes on legs with guns taped to em, things like aura battlers, mobile suits and walker machines are more exciting because these things look humanoid
western stuff just isn't exciting for me
>>252869487
Aura Battler Dunbine
>>252869487
Thanks for reminding me to finish Galient. And thanks to this thread for the reminder to finish Dougram I guess.
>>252868702
>>252868697
>>252868396
Like, VOTOM mechs are neat, but they're not scratching the right itch. What good non-humanoid mecha are there? Like, say, AT-STs or Battlewalkers from BF2142 or Metal Gears.
>>252869508
But they're all mecha, right? Surely there's some good non-humanoid Japanese mecha stuff.
>>252846306
They can, haven't you seen Battletech?
Hell if you look at art and not their MechWarrior game representations you'd think they almost look anime
>>252869729
Flag you cunt.
>>252869462
Thanks. What about Last Raven makes it better, yet not as good for a beginner though?
>>252869729
nope
>metal gear
again nope
>>252869487
That looks retarded as hell.I'd play the fuck out of it.
>>252845337
I know that there are few VOTOMs games, but no idea about quality. And they never seen release as well. You better off asking /m/
>>252869508
Huh? Western mechs have plenty of humanoid designs
>>252869906
5~ different story paths, tons of missions, tons of parts.
It's extremely difficult. If you aren't experienced you'll get fucking wrecked hard in AC duels.
>>252846802
It's a RTS, not a mech game. You better off with Mechcommander if you want some real time tactics in your mech games.
>>252870453
looks like a mobile suit with a cover of it's face
>>252869906
It's a lot tougher and it's designed for more experienced fans. All kinds of crap goes down, for instance, you have three choices for the first mission you accept. One of these has a fight against another AC at the very end. The AC is packing one of the game's most powerful weapons which is capable of destroying top-tier builds in three or four hits. It might just wreck your starting AC in 2. This is one of the medium difficulty fights in the game.
It's a very rough game and it's not very forgiving, you need to know how to effectively pilot your AC and how to build for a mission if you want to get anywhere.
As for why it's better, it arguably has some of the best part balance in the series along with quite a lot of content, tough and satisfying bosses, and a somewhat enjoyable story (though it's carried by the characters).
Now, that's not to say Silent Line isn't a good game. Matter of fact, Silent Line and Last Raven are almost always the top candidate for "best in series." It really just depends on who you ask.
>>252869508
Also, no psychological aspect? There's still some impact to having a building-sized attack vehicle on legs, it doesn't need to look like a human or fly about to have that.
Plus I'm talking about what I'd like in a videogame. Stuff like AC is too flighty, the combat feel in V is decent (especially the weaponry) but it's still too fast to enjoy properly.
The short-but-sweet REX section in MGS4 was actually pretty damn perfect feel for a mech. As were the mechs in Lost Planet 2, which someone mentioned early. Decently stompy.
>>252869898
I looked it up, this looks a neat design.
>>252860120
I'd say so, though it's more of a TBS than a mech game.
Still, it's worth playing. The combat is unique and really fun once you get the hang of it.
>>252870927
Have you tried the Armored Cores pre-4? They're a fair bit slower than ACV is
>>252870927
If you're looking for stompy, relatively slow mechs, you might consider Ring of Red.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6OJngRsMd0
Might not be the kind of gameplay you're looking for, though.
>>252866195
yeah, 4 was what actually got me into the series
just recently emulated it, and gave it another play through
>>252861813
I finished half of 3 and I want to try the rest of the series. I hear 5 is especially good.
Is it as easy as getting some emulators, roms, and patches? Or do I need to jump some hoops?

>>252845250
Closer to 35 or so, but it's still 35 out of literal hundreds so it doesn't really matter
Additionally, most of the unseen have new original designs to replace the ones that were copyrighted so by now none of it is
>>252871570
nah, not really
using pcsx 1.2.1 at the moment, and runs near perfect, the only issue is that sometimes the audio skips during character speech, but the rest of the game's audio/visual is fine
>>252871570
i should mention though, 5 needs an english patch for the iso, but you can just find it through google, and it's easily applied
>>252869039
Well at least they didn't FUCKING ADD A 3RD PERSON OPTION

3st person is crappy in MWO, can't see most of your HUD and arm reticles are fixed to to your torso reticles. The only advantage it has over 1st person is that you can see your mech's paintjob.

>Power armor isn't mechanical

Because it requires basic understanding of how to draw geometric shapes..

Frame Gride
From Soft thought of everything.
>>252875986
Literally NOBODY thinks "Samus being in a mechanical suit" and "Starcraft has a robot walker unit" qualifies either of those games as a fucking mecha game, dude.
It'd be like saying "Hey, anyone recommend me some platformers?" and some chucklefuck recommends you Xenogears, because you technically could jump on platforms. It is a stupid recommendation that completely misses the point of the label.
>>252876684
It's so easy to fuck up the perspective with mechs.
>>252843970
I can't help but see the two mechs in the middle with retarded frog faces. The visor is the mouth and the two pointy things are the eyes.
My dad and i played the fuck out of this in co op. probably the only game we both enjoyed. i'm a puzzle and action/adventure guy and he mostly just plays RTS games
>>252877008
Well no, it's a list of games with mecha, not specifically a list of mecha games with only mecha allowed, that would be fucking silly.
Power armor is mecha regardless though, and the main character of Metroid is in power armor the entire game for most installment, same goes for most units for an entire faction in starcraft.
>>252877789
So you think it's not completely missing the point of the label to call Xenogears a platformer, then?
Because that is literally what you're doing, saying that the barest most inconsequentially minor element in a game warrants its inclusion in the sort of broad labeling term usually reserved for things that actually *have* the major elements described by the label which it operates under.
>Fucking Deus Ex and System Shock
Is this a goddamn joke?
>>252877681
aw yis muh nigguh

>>252877789
By that logic, Halo is a mecha game. Vanquish is a mecha game. The new fucking Call of Duty is a mecha game. Gears of War 3 has a mech suit, now that's a mecha game.
At some point we have to draw the line. I'm as desperate as the rest of the mecha fans to find new games in this dead genre, but seriously, we have to stop grasping at straws here. If the game's actual gameplay doesn't revolve around the mechanical aspects of the power armor or robots, it isn't really a mecha game. I'll give you Metroid Prime at least since it immerses you with the visor and scan mode and all the little TECHNOLOGY to make you feel like you're in a mechanical suit. Starcraft hardly counts though since the "mecha" elements don't have much of anything to do with the gameplay. You could reskin the units into teddy bears and the gameplay wouldn't change.
>>252877789
By that logic a fucking elevator is a mecha, just because it's mechanical.
Ring of Red.
Awesome Mech strategy game for PS2.
Is Solatorobo a mech game?
>>252878963
It is, so is a toaster.
>>252878484
No you missed the point, they're not mecha-genere games, they're games with mecha. Yes Halo, Deus Ex and System Shock all have Mecha and would be games with mecha.
>>252878776
Vanquish is on the list, yes.
>>252879972
I literally cannot believe I am speaking to an actual person who is unironically defending a "mecha vidya" list that contains Robot Unicorn Attack. Like, holy fuck.
"Games with mecha." Yeah okay bud. Sorry I insulted your painstakingly created list here.
>>252878484
>Xenogears a platforme
By your logic Xenogears is mecha either because it's also a Kung-Fu RPG.
If you are looking for mecha purity the list of games would be extremely short and worthless for anyone with an interest in mecha.
>>252861972
name your 2nd favorite mech game since we know ur first
>>252880404
>By your logic Xenogears is mecha either because it's also a Kung-Fu RPG.
Assuming you were trying to say "isn't" mecha either, then no, that's fucking stupid and you're fucking stupid for suggesting it, because the mechas are actually SIGNIFICANT PARTS OF THE GAME.
>Lel but jumping is part of the game too Anon :^)
Alright dude, whatever, keep grasping at those straws.
>>252880389
I didn't make it, but yes, it's a list of Mecha games.
I'm sorry this is a strange and alien concept to you but Mecha is a pretty broad category coving anything from giant robots, powered armor and cyborgs down to automated cleaning bots.
tfw mech's will never be practical
>>252880682
I'm glad you're destroying your own argument for me.
I really don't think you have any valid points left.
Good job. Ready to admit you were wrong?
Is Castlevania a mochi game?
>>252880690
>automated cleaning bots.
So THAT'S why Deus Ex was in there, of course! The cleaning robots around UNATCO. Yes, that is definitely a worthwhile contribution to a mecha vidya list. Okay, glad we've cleared that up now.
