Hey look, it's that upcoming game about children piloting a gigantic tank to save their families from the notNazis. People are highly anticipating this one. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1357860/Fuga_Melodies_of_Steel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbjXMMH0JzI And then, if you are bad at games, you sacrifice one of the children to power up the tank's super weapon with their soul while everyone else wonders what's happening and where did their friend go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7rffeZQZ5s You are not bad at games, are you?

Sorry, another Prey question: I am finally back to where I was when I dropped off, around the time where you are able to unlock Typhon abilities. My question is: (Very mild gameplay spoiler) How many Typhon abilities could I get while remaining below the threshold that turrets would leave you alone? Is it like a ratio between typhon abilities and human abilities? Or is there just a hard limit?

Yeah, the threshold is 2 powers, regardless of cost. I would suggest you ignore the threshold, since turrets aren't a big deal (and you can always hack them to leave you alone), but if you really don't want to risk it, Psychoshock and Mimic Matter are probably the most useful.

I already took Mimic Matter and Kinetic Blast, but honestly at this point basic Phantoms are able to facetank a turret and still knock it out. I am pretty sure they will be a pain in the rear end but not insurmountable.

I am reminded of the giant robot manga Bokurano, where piloting the robot at all consumed one life per activation - it didn't have to be a child's life specifically, we just happened to be following a group of children, like we do in this game too

Orv posted:I beat all of the CoH 1 campaigns middle of last year and they're all perfectly beatable, though the difficulty spikes absolutely do exist. If you're not willing to potentially restart an RTS campaign level multiple times as it throws the next objective twist at you and you have to know in advance in order to beat it, which to be clear is not a judgment, I know some people don't find that fun, then I'd avoid it. Cool, thanks. I might give it another shot sometime. Still got Mass Recall (all of Starcraft 1 modded into Starcraft 2) and C&C generals on my list of stuff to play while jonesing for an RTS.

How in the world did they manage to untangle the 30 year old tangle of spaghetti that is the SRW licensing hell? I did not think that was going to happen like, ever.

Someone looked at who owns the rights for the stuff in this game and only a couple big companies are involved compared to other games and with a few series that have no real western license-owner, so it may have been curated to make the first time easier.

This honestly looks pretty cool lol. I love the detailed yet cartoony mega-tanks; it's got a Metal Slug feel to it. Is the game basically just turn based RPG battles interspersed with social RPG "walk around your base building relationships with people" stuff?

My extremely limited and outside understanding of SRW is that it is one of those Japanese game series that is just perpetual, 24/7 insane nonsense in an extremely enjoyable way.

Endorph posted:Gundam is heavily featured but there's a wide variety of stuff. If it's mecha, it can be in. The series list for 30 is No Exkaiser, no excitement  (Seriously though, I adore Gundam in general but seeing it in the SRW games always makes me vaguely guilty I haven't watched more of it. I'll put up with that feeling to see more J-Decker, though! And oh man, Majestic Prince. What a 7/10 anime, it was not amazing but it sure delivered on its promises.)

Also, Super Robot Wars is an extremely good series because unlike most video game crossovers where its like 'oh no, we have all been teleported to this place...' the conceit of the super robot wars series is that all the series take place in the same world and their plots are happening simultaneously and influence each other. So you get twenty mecha anime plots happening at once and the writing gets exactly as ridiculous as it sounds, but they usually do a pretty good job stringing it all together into a coherent and satisfying experience with some cool thematic beats. its way more interesting than the alternative because it actually lets them play with the concepts and themes of the shows they're working with and make some pretty major plot changes rather than just the characters being tossed into a void to talk at each other. its also good because if you dont like a show itll often work way better when its bouncing off a dozen other shows and having its plot shifted around by them. also super robot wars t inexplicably was a game about an office worker realizing shes bi and using a giant robot to beat up her sexist boss, and also cowboy bebop and g gundam were there.

I was also thinking the damage effects, including the screen shake/flashing might get in the way of the gameplay a bit, but I think that's the intention. I hope I can scale it back a bit in the settings. Will be following this one when it launches to see how it plays.

The current Microprose has nothing to do with the original, it's an Atari/Infogrames situation. Hell, the current license holder bought the Microprose name from Infogrames lol
