Nice to hear Silent Voice come back, same with Ignited. Also, was that some weird MSV of the Asshimar that Hathaway fought?Inferno-sama posted:Wow, everyone's been playing for so long. I only started playing SRW about 8 years ago, and even then it was really just roms. First one I bought was Z2, if only for Gurren Lagann.

My SRW history: I played OG1 and 2 like a zillion years ago and didn't understand any part of it. Then in college I played W. I didn't really have the attention span or Japanese for it, nor any of the next several I played including all three Alphas and OGs. I basically played it in scrub mode for the robot fights and dramatic entrances and music. Around Z2's timeframe I played Z and Z2 and actually cared (doing the LPs helped a lot). V is special to me because it's not only the first proper (console) and original (not a giant steaming pile of continuity) game in years, and the first such game I won't be way late to, but also the first non-continuity game I'll be playing as not a baby, so to speak.

Srw History: never heard of the game. Moved to Toronto for College back in 2006. I was(and still am) huge into gundam model kits so I went snooping around chinatown. There was this small model shop in which I saw the owner playing Super Robot Wars Alpha 3. The game blew my mind. Luckily the store owner was a great guy and we became friends.He actually taught me how to play the game. been playing ever since. Can't believe It'll be ten years and I'm finally playing a non og srw with an official english translation.

It's also where half the rumors about "this game is 3 stages long and all the animations are an etch-a-sketch' come from. I mean I don't expect this to be Z-level game but I also didn't expect Z to be a Z-level game so I can be pleasantly surprised.

I'm just looking forward to a new SRW world, since the Z world was already pretty stale by the time of Z3-2 and the OG-verse since 2nd. And ZZ Gundam. And maybe Daitarn 3's story and enemies this time?? edit: the OG-verse can actually get its rear end over to Alpha 3 aaaaaaaany time it loving wants now. When those few Balmari enemies appear in MD I was like yessssss! But then they were gone. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Feb 21, 2017 |

I just emailed them to cancel, felt a bit bad for myself since Play-Asia gouges you really really hard on the USD to SGD conversion, and bought through the SG store.

I would have gotten the express shipping, but it's sent by courier and I don't know what they'd do if i wasn't here tog rab it. The cheaper option has USPS as last mile and they just leave a slip int he box for me to go get it at the post office. I think I started playing SRW in college, 2004-5ish. Got my hadns on OG and OG2 from a friend, and a patched version of Alpha Gaiden that I played to death.

Weird, I guess the preload was just that fast then; my internet is super fast but usually PSN servers are really drat slow. Doesn't show up anywhere in my menus though. Think I started with OG1 and OG2 on GBA then went forwards to W, back to J, then played K -> L -> 2nd OG -> OG MD RoyalScion fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Feb 22, 2017 |

I walked 6 miles in below freezing weather after school to the gamestop in the mall to go and buy OG2 GBA...and the store didn't have it that day the walk back home was the coldest, worst feeling ever (I walked the same 6 miles again and got my loving OG2 the next day)

I saw a video of what I'm pretty sure was Epyon in Alpha in 2000 and I thought it was the coolest thing ever and I'd love to play that game if it ever got translated and I just couldn't understand why it wouldn't. Fast forward to OG1 coming out and it went from there. Couldn't believe we got a translated version of a SRW after OG2 and I think the part of me that still can't believe we're getting a mainline title translated is what is tempering expectations ready for it to be sub MD level.

I was already kind of into Gundam when I played SRW 3 and was blown away by the crazy robots. After that I found the GBA games and played the poo poo out of them all until I had the chance to pick up a PS2 and get into Alpha 3 (which must have been pretty new at the time). D got me hardcore into Getter and Alpha 3 got me way into GaoGaiGar especially. Good times e: Probably wouldnt be as crazy into robots as I am without accidentaly stumbling upon a weird fan translated SNES Rom during highschool.

If I remember right, around 2002 I got the Dreamcast version of Alpha 1 on a whim and was intrigued by the concept but was very disappointed with the animations and load times. Then I got Alpha 2 and was like holy poo poo so this is what SRW is supposed to look like. I played that and the PS1 version of Alpha 1 in tandem and was hooked forever.

I've heard of SRW for the longest time, but I only jumped in with Z3.1. Z2 was tempting because TTGL, but I didn't have a PSP and I didn't really want to learn to play it in Japanese. Z3 had Gunbuster so I bit the bullet, bought it, and figured out how to play it because I love Gunbuster.Captain Rufus posted:I nearly preordered from Play Asia but 20 dollar shipping is as gently caress. And y'all said free shipping is a very very bad idea. Now I just don't know what to do. I did economy because I can wait for this game. I was really excited for GGG, for which I regretted getting the slow shipping, but it took only 2 weeks longer for economy for me. I have not had any issues personally. Now, if Gunbuster was in this game, then I sure would spend the extra $20 because then I would want the game ASAP.

My first was Alpha Gaiden. After I bounced off that about halfway through due to difficulty I switched to J and beat that, then OG1 and 2. The first I played in Japanese was Z2.1.

Supremezero posted:"Alright, we're almost done, just editing!" I was vaguely aware of Super Robot Wars, primarily because I came across Mazinkaiser while searching online, and learned where it had come from. I never actually played any of them until AGTP patched Super Robot Wars 3. It is kind of hilarious how little I knew about mecha anime before playing that, and I became obsessed with it as a result.

I first heard about SRW in late 2004 after MX came out, and happened to be in Tokyo the next spring, so I bought a JP PS2 and a copy of MX. Been a fan ever since.

My first interaction with SRW was getting the chance to play a friend's copy of OG1 and going, 'What the hell, this is just Fist of Mars with a more boring battle system' and ignoring it for another three years because I was a dumb kid with no taste, and it wasn't until I played a menu-patched version of W that I really got hooked and gave the OG games another shot.
