Played the first one to understand ZOE´s 2 story and to be more invested in it, and while it had its flaws here and there, I had fun. I started ZOE 2 and it bored me to death, left it when you have to find some faggot inside a container or something, and then you have to protect him or carry him or I don´t know, does it get better? Should I make an effort and continue? Because the beginning is fucking awful

>>376438649
Titanfall 2 counts, since you've got the mechs.
Also counts as a good FPS.
So go titanfall.

>>376439627
Yeah the beginning is fucking awful

The game gets better the better jehuty gets

Robot Alchemic Drive, which combines genuinely interesting game and so bad it's good in one package

>>376438649
is that yoji shinkawa art?

Zone of Enders 2 or Mechwarrior 2.

Two very different games but I love them both. Multiplayer wise it has to be Chromehounds.

>>376438649
Pacific Rim had to be the most dissapointing mecha movie ever
>takes two pilots for some reason
>they cover up this fact with some bullshit psychic link or whatever
>all they fight are giant monsters
Hell I'll even take a Mobile Suit Gundam movie over this

>>376440478

Fuck me, I popped in the disc a few months back but the limited singleplayer missions and customization just made me more sad I'll never get to play the full game again.

>>376440225
Not fun, just shitty movies. Sorry i didn't validate your opinion.

Damn, that was difficult to figure out.

Pacific Rim also has robots with more than two pilots.

>western mecha designs

Fun fact: Tank-ish robots are Japanese in origin.
The hi-tech and humanoid ones like Armored Core are Western in origin.


Also, art style matters little, what decides is the artist's ability and that's where most of western-produced robots hit a wall.
Their designs are thrown at random college drop-outs and pajeets whereas Japanese put the most experience people on the team on the job.

>>376441704
This game was great. I played that game so much I unlocked every thing in the model viewer, and had every mech and a fuck ton of weapons. I had a blast with it. I went back and emulated it a while ago and it still holds up decently

Armored fucking core. Which one you like most is preference, but they're factually the best Mech games out there. Personally I liked For Answer the best.

Isn't Western humanoid mecha originally from Starship Troopers, which was preceded by Japanese manga about humanoid mecha like Tetsujin?

>>376441781
Wwhat did they do to my Cherno waifu?

For multiplayer its Titanfall 1 & 2.

>not turning your brain off for the genuine Pacific Rim experience

>>376442463
Asimov, Metropolis, and a whole slew of other humanoid robots definitely precede Tetsujin.

>>376442463
The point about "western mecha design" being about as western as sushi and slanted eyes still stands.

Though I seriously doubt Heinlein read Japanese manga. After all, he was American and Anglos took a good few decades before they stopped being pissed about the fact Japanese kicked their ass numerous times while the rest of the civilized non-Commie world consumed both anime and manga at an ever-increasing pace (Germany is still the single biggest foreign consumer of manga in the world).

My favorites are ZoE2, ACE3 and SRWZ2

>>376443145
Those robots are more human-sized androids instead of big vehicle sized mecha like in Armored Core, like the original poster implied.

Titanfall 2 tbqh

How are the armoured core games?

>>376443172
I didn't want to imply one took inspiration from the other. Convergent evolution of the same ideas in Japan and the US of mecha could very well have been possible. I just always thought Tetsujin and thereby Japan did it first.

Depressingly little mention of Armored core. It has it all, story, characters, mystery, intrigue. Great battle great customization, great incentives.

>>376444093
Ignore ACV and ACVD and you should be fine with a huge selection of good mecha games.

>>376444093
Everything before AC4 and AC4A is fun. These two are much faster games but still fun. V and Victory Day go back to the slower combat and aren't quite as fun.

>>376444093
Very clunky and honestly boring and frustrating as it's very hard to build a machine. I've played them all just because they're mech games and honestly I've never truly liked them.

AC4/ACVD are the only ones that feels fun and good.
ACV and ACVD are fucking multiplayer focused and were dead online on arrival outside of japan so..

>>376443984

>>376443172
>he was American and Anglos took a good few decades before they stopped being pissed about the fact Japanese kicked their ass numerous times
Holy shit, dude, you realize that Japan lost the fucking war, right? Stupid fucking asshole.

>>376444093
Old ones on the ps1 and ps2 are hard as shit because you control everything from the d pad and shoulder buttons to sway left and right and look up and down
They have no control stick functionality

As someone who has played all shooters and DS on modern control schemes AC is impossible for my brain

>>376444409
>it's very hard to build a machine.

Not really. If you understand that each part has a purpose, has both pros and weaknesses and you know what kind of machine you want to build, it's as easy to build one as it is to put a few lego pieces together. It might seem overwhelming at first, but once you understand everything is there for a reason, everything falls into place.

I didn't say win the war, I'm saying the propaganda towards the demonization of Japanese was still being felt in Heinlein's time.

Case in point, the comic DuckTales is based on. Donald Duck has been shouting to impale and kill all Japanese until like mid-70s when they changed that character trait to refer to "enemies".

Heck, if we had vidya then, they'd probably replace the nazis entirely.

But let's not go completely off the topic here. We're talking giant fucking robots, not war.

Have some points for the VOTOMS game on PS2. That was great.

Girlfriend of steel, sadly best waifs gets squeezed outta the competition early

Otherwise mech warrior 2 or heavy gear

>>376439738
ACKTUALLY, the developers specifically stated that Titans are not mechs.

>>376439998
I wish Vanillaware made porn instead of games, their gameplay is always so bad but their art is great.

>>376438649
ZOE2, ACE3, Gotcha Force, one of the AC games but the one I play the most is 4 answer because i like super sonic rape.

>my boy got ganked without doing one cool thing the entire movie
Never forgive them for this

we need more good mech games. I can't think of any good recent ones.

>>376438649

I have this poster on my wall.

>>376441636
The problem is that they spent too much time trying and failing to explain why they need to pilots and why the robots are the only option and not the wall and not enough time with actual robots fighting kaijus, they had several interesting mecha designs that obviously had different fighting styles with the russian and the chinese ones but they decided to just talk about how great they were before showing them getting wrecked instead of showing how great the were.

>>376448018
That was some dev team member who didn't know what he was talking about. The project lead later said he was full of shit.

Zone of enders 2

>>376448018
But Titans are objectively mechs. If the CEO of Honda said the Civic wasn't a car would you take his word as gospel or say "What the fuck are you on, that is clearly a car."
