Is it because you grew up in a time after Power Rangers and Voltron? Because you didn't get exposed to Gundam Wing in your formative years?
I can't fucking fathom why everyone I know under the age of 25 couldn't give a shit about mecha, but everyone over that age will buy any game with giant robots in it in a heartbeat, just on the promise of giant robots.
>tfw love Mecha and know moon >Don't like SRPGs so can't enjoy SRW
Jaxson Moore
I'm not a big fan of SRPGs either.
I only play SRW for the plot and interactions
Caleb Foster
Wait what?
Anthony Garcia
>really like giant robots >can't get into Mecha anime/games A painful existence
Oliver Bennett
America doesn't get enough good mecha games
Jose Russell
There's always ACE, that' a great series, it's not like they released a game so awful it put the series in the grave forever, right?
Nathan Allen
SRX a shit.
Brody Richardson
I for one is actually glad.
So that the series can move on from the wankery of the director for Kyosuke and Excellen and put back the focus to the real team, the SRX team
Caleb Gray
If a giant robot fights a giant monster, what's the point of either of them being giant?
Gabriel Watson
I don't get it. It's like tmnt, people in their gen carne about it and that's it. I tried watching mecha. Gurren is fine, eva is 2deep4me. Gundam is too big for me. I don't know amything else
Hudson Sullivan
>tfw the mech walker thing from MGS5 is the only reason you bought the fucking game
I was disappointed in the game aswell but mine hit half way through
Brandon Campbell
>doesn't play Gundam Battle Operation Next >not maining Wing Gundam and having fun blasting enemies and win.
What are you, some kind of extra faggot
Luis Bell
collateral damage to the city
Andrew Campbell
Mecha threads are after midnight
Samuel Barnes
Fuck off Kyosuke.
>Finally get less Kyosuke/Excellen pandering >HAHA NOW WE'RE ADDING THE ENDLESS FRONTIER EXCELLEN AND KYSOSUKE CLONES TO SRW >You will NEVER see an Alfimi and Axel combo attack
Xavier Sullivan
Why no love for tiny robots?
I beat OG1 but that's it. Couldn't bring myself to beat OG2.
Them animations in the PS2 games though.
Only thing I know about ACE is that one of the songs got covered by Idolm@ster and that it's a kickass song. Never played any of the games.
I did play it and I liked it but latency killed it for me. Shitty internet connection yo.
Oliver Murphy
>Playing that garbage when I could be losing to nips at EXVS then getting incomprehensible hate mail from my teammate
Chase Wilson
R-1 must have extra long neck
William Rivera
Correct
Aaron Hill
Liking playing Sandrock, a shit tier 2000 unit when you can play the glorious Nightingale, shit, even Blitz is better than that shit.
You want another Shin. Because if so then you are the cancer killing SRW
Noah Diaz
>Why no love for tiny robots?
Hows that Little Battlers game for 3DS?
Jack Flores
The idea of a giant robot is fine with me, I just don't like the tropes that go with it I guess?
Like, all the bullshit drama between robot pilots. I'm not here to watch a soap opera, I'm here for giant robots.
Also giant robot shows tend to pull asspulls like "MY LASERS ARE BEING SUPERCHARGED BY THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP" or "EVEN THOUGH HIS MECH HAS TAKEN SO MUCH DAMAGE IT LITERALLY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MOVE HE'S SO DETERMINED HE'S STILL FIGHTING"
Like, Gurren Lagann at least made an excuse where everything is powered by spiral energy so at least it makes sense in that universe. A lot of the times it just feels like a cheap asspull though.
I also think a lot of giant robot designs are designed oddly. Like, the design is too busy or it's too human-like.
For example, I generally like Zaku gundams the best because of their one eye. One big lens that sweeps across the head unit like a camera makes more sense to me, you know? It seems like something that could actually exist if someone had the money, time and fucks to give.
Parker Nguyen
But that would be retarded since not all robots in all robot shows are in the same scale. Some are truck sized and some bigger than skyscrapers. That doesnt even count some shit when the robots go galaxy sized, how are you supposed to use any other robot after that?
Austin Reyes
>implying using your willpower to fuel your weapons and mech isnt awesome as fuck
>"MY LASERS ARE BEING SUPERCHARGED BY THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP" or "EVEN THOUGH HIS MECH HAS TAKEN SO MUCH DAMAGE IT LITERALLY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MOVE HE'S SO DETERMINED HE'S STILL FIGHTING"
not all anime is gurren lagann
Angel Bell
Yeah, exactly. If those two mechs were actually in scale, poor Scopedog would be so fucked since antispiral is bigger than a galaxy. Thats why going SD scale for everything and making them same size is better.
It's a personal favorite of mine. Played all three games before the first one even got localized. Fantastic franchise with really fun gameplay. Bit on the easy side so don't use healing items.
Tyler Price
The animations in Z. The animations in Z3 they gave to the A team. The animations in 2nd OG.
Well Getter is powered by pilots being stupidly strong willed assholes. The point is that in super robot genre, its EMOTIOOOOOOOOON RAAAAARGH that makes the robot move.
Easton Brown
>that pic Nuke them again.
Ethan Hall
>tfw no metal gear games that focuses on the /m/ aspect
dat REX VS RAY segment on MGS4 should have it's own game
Jaxson Wood
>tfw Armored Core is dead >tfw Front Mission is dead >tfw Mechwarrior is one foot in grave >tfw nip mech games don't get localized >tfw nips are starting to sway away from mechs Is there any hope for us? Are we here just to suffer?
Bentley Clark
Because mecha is shit 99% of the time, and therefore the games are shit too.
Sebastian Davis
And stupidly skilled and the Getter Rays
David Diaz
it's evolution actually
you're wrong again
Jaxson Phillips
Post entry level mecha for me to enjoy please. Be it games or anime.
Blake Diaz
>implying oversized robots are only powered by friendship and emotions
Jack Martinez
>Mazinger >Golion >Jeeg >Running on emotion, evolution or any such nonsense
I'm afraid it's because of super science.
I didn't say Mazinkaiser or Mazinger Zero.
Liam Davis
Watch Gundam Unicorn and play Armored Core For Answer.
Brody Stewart
Probably one of the comfiest mech anime ever.
Jaxon Brown
Break Blade
Adrian Richardson
Impact battles were always my favorite part of Goemon games
Get the HD collection, and play ZoE1 before you start 2. If anybody suggests playing 2 first or skipping 1, ignore them.
Brody Gomez
That too. In general I just say "its getter rays" when something needs explaining. You mean magic science since evolution doesnt actually fuel lasers. Didnt say they were "only" powered by those. Its just a common trope.
Jaxson Jenkins
>entry level
Nicholas Sullivan
also on that note go to your containment board if 98% of the thread is not vidya
Cameron Cook
this, but don't bother with the first one
Nathaniel Taylor
Thats because giant robots are cool. Anime about teen romance drama bullshit with some scenes of giant robots is not.
Cameron Bennett

I'm 28 yo and I don't like robots, always thought it was a stupid design. Now tanks however...
Hunter James
Typical monster shaming. It can't help it if it was born to be huge.
Lincoln Russell
Super science is still not friendship
mecha ≠ shonen
Joseph Martin
What a weird fucking list.
Parker Torres
Call the cops faggot, I don't give a fuck.
Noah Phillips
But tanks are super stupid and boring. Just boxes with tubes sticking out of them.
Mason Roberts
>There will NEVER be an MD Geist game
I want to stop
Charles Nguyen
That's a pretty intense list for entry level, but thanks. Sort of ontopic, did Zoids go anywhere in Japan or did it just vanish like it did here?
Bentley Nelson
...
Jason Roberts
In these? It pretty much is also friendship. Its anything that the writer wants.
Ryan Williams
Gurren Lagann is probably the best entry level super robo show. Gundam 00 if you want normal mechs.
Ethan Jenkins

Kevin Allen
Is that motherfucking Kukuru Doan?
Owen Phillips
animations en 2nd OG are not good, are GOD, but in Z1 are not much difference than Z2, Gunleon IS THE SAME
Oliver Gutierrez
This is your date tonight
Luke Martin
i wouldn't go 00 for "normal" mechs. there are varying levels of "normal" and by the end of it 00 is basically super robot nonsense with all the particles and trans-am BS
for normal i'd say gundam 08th MS team or votoms
