A friend tried getting some of us into that when I used to go by GW. It was a really clunky, poorly executed, boring game built around seemingly as an excuse to make cool models that normally wouldn't fit into any other system since it wasn't in space or on the battleground. X-Wing definitely feels like a much better designed version of that game and I could see a GW exec looking at that market and saying why the gently caress not?

I think it tried to do something novel with altitude? Like climbing and diving were quite important, but that just slowed the game down a lot.

I played a game of AI way back when it was in production and remember thinking it was like a tedious version of Wings of War.

Wings of War is alright but the altitude rules were kind of clunky.

Luckily we have smartphones now and you could make a F2P app that automates all the bullshit. That's what this game coming out is, right? It's gonna be a micro-transaction based F2P on smartphones using GW IP?I did buy a couple planes though. They looked really nice and they're still in boxes for some sort of vague future event where I have enough time to make them into a proper diorama as RC planes being flown by Orc and Tau children like I said I would.

The few times it actually got played ended up with lots of situations where the planes were flying around trying to get a shot (and missing when they did) and it was sooo boring to play let alone watch. I felt bad since my friend spent some money on these models and clearly wanted the game to be good. It thankfully fizzled out naturally and I didn't have to pretend to enjoy it.

Helen Highwater posted:That game exists (sorta). Sid Meier's Ace Patrol. There's a Pacific Theatre WWII edition as well. Wow, thanks! I love games like these. Last time a tactical turn-based strategy game really piqued my interest was valkyria chronicles and I'm sad they never made a sequel or series out of it.

They did make a second VC but it was only for the PSP (I liked the first one too despite my usual zero-tolerance stance on animes).

I'm not sure if you don't know it had 2 sequels or choosing to ignore them because the one that came out in english was really bad...  Cause what the cool WW2ish game needed was to be set in highschool.

When people talk about the other non-original Star Wars trilogy, I get confused since the holiday special has nothing to do with the Ewok movies.

The setup for VC3 is really cool. I don't really like the mechanics of how they got it to fit into the PSP (this sucked in 2 as well) so I haven't finished it yet but the scenario of a suicide penal squad is pretty neat.

Elukka posted:No, it's actually very un-anime. It's based on a series of novels and it was made before the incestuous circle of anime being made by weirdo anime fans for weirdo anime fans really took hold. Legend of Galactic Heroes is very anime. It's 100% anime. It's literally an anime.

I wonder if you can have a well-done series of import like the wire or band of brothers done in the current en vogue anime drawing style and have it be recognized as a great series with merit. Like, I would watch all the seasons of breaking bad with a main character who had gigantic eyes and a silly outfit.

FrostyPox posted:I really hope it's true. Watching GW completely gently caress up yet another product that should be easy money will never get old. If I discount time spent modeling and painting, I've probably gotten more hours of entertainment out of the past year or so of fuckups then I ever got from actually playing their games.

Elukka posted:Yes but it lacks the aspects that make anime really bad. It's like how Breaking Bad isn't a TV show. I mean, I know it technically is, but it doesn't have a laugh track or a will-they-won't-they romance or cooking competitions, so it's about as not TV show as you can get.

Isn't Akagi super-stylized and widely accepted as being of narrative merit? Maybe it isn't, I don't know. The anime I watch tends to be as un-anime as possible.* *When other people say "un-anime anime" I don't know what they mean, specifically, so I won't speak for them, but for me, the checklist is mostly about "anime my goony acquaintances talk about, ironically or not" and how little it has in common with that. If it has a little sister who is also a love interest of the main character, ludicrous baps for no discernible reason, features a pre-teen driving a robot, is about ~cute girls~ doing ~daily activities~ or has a lengthy and prominent fighting tournament arc, I'm probably not even going to give it a shot. This instantly excludes like 90% of the anime I've heard of.
