Will there ever be another mech game this good/like this?

>>376388945
Nope. Never.

>>376388945
Feckin' love this game.

Everything about the design and animation was so awkward but it's an easy 9/10 through the gameplay alone.

Heart dropped like a rock when i found out the ps3 sequel was trashed.

>>376390202
Oh yeah the graphics were not top tier, I'm talking pure gameplay on this one.

My heart did the same.

>>376390961
Till this day I wish I could recreate a game like this. Maybe not 1:1 exact, but something in the same vein as how it was.

Even the story was so good and I sort of like the fact that it was toned down as it was, yet the sneak some adult stuff into the mix occasionally

>>376388945
This is one of the few games that I would consider comfy.

>>376391079
It was really clever how they balanced the tone. If you were only up for a nice relaxed play session, the so called comfy feeling? You could do that, but then you could go in and get another sort of play. Yeah, I could spend all day mining fossils, delivering stuff, buying clothes, relaxing, playing music, and that sort of stuff, or I could go in and fight mechs in the arena, hunt down bandits and stuff like that. The stories the game could tell had similar breadth, it was never too serious, but it still managed to hit different notes.

Also, just being able to start off playing the game by giving the girl you just met on the beach to the bandits when they stop you on the road was hilarious. You want my money? Sure! Have the girl too!

Nope it was perfect. The psp spinoff was good too

>>376388945
Does the game emulate well? I tried it a couple of years ago and it didn't work very well.

>>376391149
Several things add to that. The visuals aren't great, but the lighting, music and little details like going into the city and having to wait on traffic lights, and that sort of thing, sitting in a park or on a street corner watching the traffic go by, or playing music as the day ends.

I can't think of anything quite like it. I tried the PSP spinoff and it was good, but didn't quite hit the same mark. So I went into the Harvest Moon and Runefactory style games looking for something similar. I like some of those, but none of them got there.

I even went back and replayed some of the Armored Core games I liked, just to get my mech fix, and, without the other elements Steambot provided, it just wasn't the same, obviously, even though getting to customize your mech is a big part of the fun, it's far from the only factor that makes the game work.

>>376391448
I honestly cannot tell you. I still have my PS2 copy to play, so I've never felt the need to try.

>>376391448
I tried emulating it, but to get it running smoothly you'll need to run it in software mode or some shizz.

The world is worse off because the sequel doesn't exist. We will never get a game like it again.

This game gives me warm memories. It was just so fucking comfy. But it wasn't one of those "Only comfy" games either. It had sweet comfy things sure, walking around town, playing music, dating a waifu. But you could do so many things on the action. Enter the battle tournament, go exploring in battle zone, fight all sorts of baddies. Game was just so good.

Goddamn them for not making another one.

>>376393060
You know what, in a way i guess you're right. The game should rest with this. Though i wish there was a proper PC port at least.

>>376393295
I said "worse off", fuck that shit i want more comfy mecha shenmue adventures

>>376388945
>same character art on both sides of the case

I know this is no reflection of the game's quality but god damn.

>>376392072
It amazes me how few games actually know how pull off a romance effectively.

You're better off cursing tsunami's and pachinko.

>>376388945
We can always pray, I guess.
