You were doing so well, then you just had to go and mess it up. For shame.

maybe in a future DLC pack there'll be Ice Cream Missions like in Astral Chain :(
G Gundam is the Gundam that isn't Gundam. It's fine in its own right but not really what I'm suggesting when I say "watch Gundam"
Sure, but it's the best one with the best romance, so people should definitely watch it.
Mech can't have Ice cream. Also how do you know it actually ice cream?
There's a lot of baggage since it's one of the later shows in the original timeline. With the exception of turn a most spinoffs are standalone and you can start at the beginning of their timeline(Turn A is a tribute to every show before it while being it's own thing) but the main timeline you kinda want to go release order because it refers to every show before it in some capacity even when it takes place before it and the release timeline is roughly MSG '78->Zeta->ZZ->Chars counter attack-> 0080 War in a pocket-> 0083 stardust memories->F-91->Victory->Unicorn->Origins
And I'm pretty sure I skipped a few things too, this is just off the top of my head
It's one of the best ones but one of the worst to "start". If you watch it standalone it's fine, but if you're using it as an entrypoint to the series, it's the worst one to start.
Wow, I didn't think I'd ever come across such a synthphobic post on era. Mechs love ice cream because it cools down their engines. I know it's ice-cream because the cute cartoon dog said so. He can't lie because he is a cute cartoon dog.
Of course not, because you watch it and love it. Then you watch the rest and become disappointed that they aren't as HOT BLOODED SHOUNEN as G, so you seek out more mecha anime goodness. It's a ploy to get people to watch even more mecha. It's foolproof!
Scores are about what I expected, if not a little bit higher.
It honestly seems like exactly the game they showed us, and that's a good thing. The review complaints I've seen are the story and that the missions are rather repetitive, and it's not doing much to elevate it beyond what mech-game fans would want.
But it sounds like a dream come true for someone who is into these kind of games. The reviews are sort of souring me on an impulse buy, but down the line I'll probably cave when it's on sale. The demo was fun and it's rather polished. The character movement seems really fluid.

You can run around with the dog or even dance! (via the emotes in the chat menu)
Flawless science. I think this solidifies the Daemon X Machina Review Thread as the best and only review thread. It is drama free AND has sound scientific analysis.
I assume they were hoping for better scores.
Is it truly "great"?
Even in 6-7/10 reviews reviewers say that the gameplay is great. They mostly lowered their scores because of the story and repetition but those interested in this game probably weren't expecting a great plot and know that you'll be shooting things for 20+ hours.
Take your time, I don't need the OT making me want the game even more while I wait for the preload to unlock anyway =p
btw I hope it's okay that I'll probably straight up copy/paste some of your posts from the demo thread in there or link them in a tips section. You had some good breakdowns in there.
Not sure where this is coming from.
I had high hopes for this big September release for the Switch.
Considering that this is basically Marvelous Does Armored Core, the reviews are about where I expected. Looking forward to my copy, hopefully arriving tomorrow.
Well what your hopes? That it would gain arbitrary numberical values, or that the gameplay would meet your expectations? I mean I have no problem with someone being disappointed by reviews, but coming into a review thread and just saying "very disappointing" is a troll statement. what about it is disappointing that didn't align with your expectations?
About what I expected, the prologue felt okay but it didnt improve enough from the first one in my eyes as far as being fun to play.
It seems a lot of the complaints come from having a nonsensical story with repetitive missions.
It's a shame the game doesn't have a better story and mission structure, it would probably boost the scores to 8s and 9s.
Nah, is a mecha game. Critics apparently are afraid to seem like they liked it.
Want to give a special shout to God Is a Geek's video review by Mick Fraser and Adam Cook -- this seems to come from an Armored Core fan who is right in this game's niche, which I where I think a lot of the audience is coming from, too.
French website JVC points out poor framerate, blames lack of locking options on powerful enemies, boring story, and states 2/3 of the game are boring, giving it a 6/10.
Positive points are art and design ,customization, soundtrack and voices.

OT is live in case anyone's wondering:
