/vr/ - Retro Games

>>4769150
Thoughts on Getter Robo Daikessen?

>>4769176
I too want to know. I love Getter Robo, but licensed games truly run the gambit.

>>4769176
Fighting with two thirds of a Getter was fun.

>>4769150
I really need to go back and replay the classic AC games again.

>>4769183
>Fighting with two thirds of a Getter was fun.
do you have to do this because your first third man botched the gattai and crushed himself to death in the cockpit

god damn getter robo is the most metal shit

>>4769187
Musashi was alive, but I just wanted to see if it would let you do a partial combination. You can.

Metal Warriors. Easily the best 16 bit mecha game.

I love the Mazinger Z shmup; it always puts a smile on my face.

>>4769306
I have no idea of what the hell is that story. All those characters appear in the 2 last stages, and you get nothing on them. Are they all shown in the manual?

>>4769316
I didn't pay much attention to the story desu

Obligatory SRW post.

>>4769380
>tfw none of your friends will touch the series because of the language barrier

At least some of the recent ones have had English Asian releases.

>>4769384
>>4769384
The interface is super easy to grasp by a minimal ammount of trial and error so the only real language barrier here is for the plot but if you don't really care about that you can play any game of the franchise as I dead and read the plot somewhere else.

I really wish to talk about SRW W but >not retro

Unrelated but:
>no valid captcha
>for FOUR FUCKING TIMES

I'm getting sick tired of clicking cars and verifying them only to get told "lol no, click again"

>>4769394
Thankfully, I could read kana and some kanji before I got into the series, so I've been a long-time fan of it. But my friends (for the most part) refuse to even give them a shot, outside of the two GBA OG games (which they did enjoy). I guess I can understand where they're coming from, but it's still annoying, because I don't really have anyone to talk to about the series.

>>4769394
>dead
Meant "did"

>>4769380
Definetly not inspired by NGE

>>4769412
That is NGE. SRW is a huge crossover series.

>>4769313
The Super Famicom game is worth playing too, mainly because you get to freely use all the special moves, even stuff like the Missile Punch and Drill Missiles.

>>4769306
That's not Macross Scrambled Valkyrie

Also PSX has amazing mecha games. Armored Core, Gundam Battle Assault

The Gungriffon games have these great, semi-clunky controls that make it really feel like you are piloting this unwieldy, gigantic piece of metal with guns strapped on. I haven't played it, but I would imagine it is in the same ballpark as what playing MechWarrior 2 must feel like.

Both saturn games are fantastic. I haven't tried the PS2 release though.

>>4769509
Not strictly retro, but someone made another game in the series that runs on PC called High Mac Sim.

>>4769412
What >>4769416 said.

SRW takes mecha anime from everywhere in a game like Fire Emblem or Advance Wars.

Take a look a the boxart, you'll see a lot of different shows.

>>4769394
I do enjoy the SD Gundam turn based strategy games and the interface always confused my friends because they never understood how I knew what I was doing when I couldn't read Japanese.

The SD Gundam Generations series on SNES are a good place to start and are fun, but I really enjoyed SD Gundam G Generation F, because it covered every series that existed at the time and you had your own squad of MS that you took through alongside the story characters...I'm not sure what the story was there, maybe some time travel bullshit.

Reminder for everyone to try Zero Divide if you love mecha
>cool designs
>great synth soundtracks

>That's not Macross Scrambled Valkyrie
the warp-in effects for the zentradi battleships are pretty cool
the last boss design is kind of lame though

>>4769521
>High Mac Sim
I can't find anything about High mac sim, is it a real game mate?

>>4769306
>>4769316
>>4769375

Aside from the final boss(Supreme Leader), none of the others matter. It's just your classic tale of 'evil empire brings justice loving democracy to the brink of collapse before you enter the war' story. The only real story you *need* is in the mission briefings, I feel.

Aside from Armored Core and Metal Warriors(which I expect to get lots of votes anyway), this was the game that got me into mecha battles(Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise from the Ashes). The FPV makes it a little more intense, I felt.

>>4769380
That's not even /m/, it's a giant mutant mom with some cybernetics.

>>4772263
Fantastic game. I'd love a hardcore Steel Battalion-style mobile suit sim game along these lines.

I beat Gundam Char's Counterattack on the PSX a while back, there's an adaption of Zeta Gundam as well but I never finished it.
Both were pretty solid games and played like more arcadey versions of armored core.

>>4772073

>>4769392
Still the best GITS game.

>>4769306
The versus mode is the best thing about metal warriors
The campaign is eeeeh. They don't let you play around with changing mechs as much as the game should.

Anyone try the Battle Angel game for the playstation?

>>4775614

Five years ago. Its weird as it was the completion of Gunnm even before Gunnm was complete.

Assault Suit Leynos 2 for Saturn is beautiful, too bad about the escort missions.
I call it a 2D Armored core for its focus on mech customization and fast action gameplay.

Assault Suits Valken is pretty good too and has great controls, it's also more arcade.

>>4769150
Why does Armored Core feel so good to play

>>4769150
Armored Core? Heh more like Armored Bore!

>>4777871
>>4777903
Wait a minute here, who is right?

Can't beat this one for me. One day I'll have a few weeks spare and learn how to 1cc it.

Anyone got any recommendations for mecha anime? Only watched MSG and Zeta but I'm looking for more stuff.

>>4769150

Gundam, as interpreted by Compile.

>>4778404
watch CCA now

>>4775614
I got this game for $30 years ago and beat it...not bad for what it is and it's nice to see how the world is in 3d and in color.

Wolf Fang is my favorite

>>4769150
ES2 was fucking good and it could have surpassed MechWarrior if it wasn't for lack of lore.

it hurts guys

>>4772030
Played the first one as a kid. The game isn't the best, but the visual presentation and the soundtrack really are amazing

>>4775596
>versus mode
RED ALERT

>>4778404
Watch Dougram and VOTOMS

>>4777903
More like Armored Snore!

There's a pretty interesting example for the Playstation 1. Love & Destroy. One of the few games that needs the analog control on the console. You go around as a big stompy robot with cute girls as navigators.

>>4778883
Damn right

>>4778884
What's this ES2?

>>4778894
what hurts?
there was a new game a few months ago
shame that it's certainly not coming west, but it's region free

>>4776503
That convoy mission had me ready to sell my copy, fuck.

>>4777959
Armored Core's pretty cool. Go play it. You'll probably like it.

>>4772263 here, and I feel ashamed for not posting one of my absolute favorite mecha games...
https://youtu.be/Q2-UpK0r2hY

>>4778884
Starsiege had a ton of lore though. More than most robot games.

It just was up against an RPG/Wargame series that had existed for over a decade before the games came out.

What does /vr/ thinks about Front Mission series?
Are there any guide to beat those games?
I need some tips and tricks. RPGs and Turn based strategy is quite difficult for me

>>4783306
Spam rockets

Since Valken got a HD rerelease, Night Slave's next on the list right?

>>4783609
So if I am correct, at the end main heroine dies in the explosion while her lesbain genetically made clone lover escapes in a shuttle?

>>4783619
No, Chiho survives. Rei, Erika, Notty, Ranya and Julia die.

>>4783786
Wasn't Rei the player character? Or did I mix them with each other

>>4785078
Rei is the player character yes.

Maybe he's commenting on the usage of the phrase "Main Heroine"

>>4779452
Earthsiege 2. There are a bunch of games in the series and it rivals Mechwarrior.

>>4783597
No seriously do this.

what are mecha rpgs with overworld or exploration, not like super robot war which is battle after battle like fire emblem, I want to play swr but this aspect i really don't like, there is nothing to except battle

>>4785904
Metal Max series
MS Saga (not retro)

>>4785929
metal max looks quite cool, toobad only like one game is translated

>>4785929
>MS Saga

I know it's not retro but what you can tell me about it?

bump

>>4783306
You can probably cheat it like most TRPGs by baiting the enemy by putting one unit in range of one enemy, getting that enemy to move once, then completely destroying it while staying out of the other enemy's range.

Maximize attack opportunities and minimize opportunities to be attacked.

That's about it for every TRPG, the only other thing is
>Find out what is OP and then do that forever
>Abuse any stupid turn order exploits (in Tactics Ogre there is no reason to ever care about any stat that isn't speed, speed does everything through the beauty of pure math)

that last part isn't much help for FM though most of those are player phase/enemy phase

>>4769306
Assault Suits Valken is better esp in terms of set-pieces and story

Silent Line fag reporting......

>>4787636
MS Saga is an RPG where you basically pilot kitbashes. You buy or find parts of mobile suits from various Gundam series, combine them together, and go into battle with your Frankenmechs. Weapons are equipped on a grid, and you can move them around to make room for other weapons.

>>4788762
That sounds like Gundam Breaker. What about the exploration part?

>>4788767
It has a world map, with towns and dungeons you can enter, like a traditional RPG.

MUSHA

>>4769380
Funny that Nge introduced me to Srw .
Now everytime Nge is in Srw I kinda meh .

Is there a connection between Metal Warriors, Cybernator and Gun Hazard?
They all seem connected but I dont see how

Misadventures of Tron Bonne looks gorgeous with 4x on mednafen hw, it's also fun albeit a bit repetitive and easy.

>>4789647
I think the people who worked on Valken also worked on Gun Hazard.

I want to get into the Mechwarrior games, is there any I should avoid? How is Mechassault?

>>4769150
bump

>>4785196
Thanks, man.

>>4789616
I like that Shinji and Amuro get along in SRW.
Makes the Gundam vs Eva bullshit rivalry supporters cry.

>>4785196
Man, I had no idea that CyberStorm game that used to scare me possess as a kid was tied to a larger series.

>>4794468
Awesome
>>4790303
2/3 is considered good entry point

>>4769392
I work at a thrift store and over a weekend about 3 weeks back I found a broken CD case with this awesome bastard in it along with the manual. Disc was pristine, been playing it on and off, and really surprised at how fluid the controls are.

Has anybody tried SRW romhacks? Are there any good ones out there?

>>4769150
>100% of mecha horror video games are all first-person PS1 launch titles or were released very early in its life

but why?

revive

>>4796980
There's a SRW OG2 (GBA) romhack that makes Axel the main character, and I think another for SRW FF, which you can look up on youtube.

Both are Japanese-only.

>>4796987
Such as?

>>4769509
>mfw gungriffon had a pretty good story premise, mechs and environment, but there has not been a new game since the xbox one

I rather have another gungriffon game than another shitty gundam game

>>4798821
kileak, kileak 2, space griffon VF-9, and I think another
but that's literally all the mecha horror games

>ywn play mecha msx loli game

>>4801407

Based Mika Akitaka always with the mecha girls.

>>4801474
I believe he also did the mecha designs for Galaxy Fräulein Yuna.

>tfw no Ideon games
at least his srw cameos always keep true to his power level

>>4801495
That was Mika Akitaka. He's done a lot of mechanical designs for several Gundam series, and mecha in general.

>retromecha
>no mention of Thexder
come on now

>>4801497
At the end of SRW F Final, I mostly relied on Ideon.

>>4799049
Rise from the Ashes style Gundam simulator never ever again

>>4778884

>lack of lore

What is the compendium?

>>4789647
Cybernator is fuckinh awesome

>>4769150
bump

>>4778894
I hated the controls...

>>4783306
Just gamefaqs it.
>Inb4 gamefaqs is leddit.
>RPGs TBS is HARD
I swear you're retarded or b8ing. Most JRPGs are easymode compared to WRPGs. The only real hard /vr/ TBS I can think of is RotTK, but even those can be beaten once you figure out how dumb the AI is. One of the RotTK games also have a sort of diplomacy if I remember it right.

>>4804213
> a sort of diplomacy cheat if I remember it right.

>>4769150
One of these days I gotta check out the games made after Another Age but I'm terrified of having to comprehend playing an Armored Core that doesn't require me to use at least six fingers any given time to move efficiently.

>>4769150
They ate the fucking cat!

I'll never forget the moment when Ikari Shinji of all people told Kira Yamato to man the fuck up.
