Eastern Mechs or Western Mechs - General

Oh my god anime and everything from japan is so fucking stupid. Western.

Bipedal Mechs should never amount to anything more than an ExoSkeleton for Infantry, anything past that, such as a pilot in a seat is completely silly.

Too bad the animation(s) look incredible but are pretty short and make absolutely no fucking sense in context of the game. (Slight spoilers for anyone who hasn't beaten For Answer) [sp]For anyone who doesn't know that mech was White Glint, some sort of super-mech piloted by an unknown (for most of the game) "legendary" pilot named... it's been a while. In that cutscene it was taken down by an Arms Fort, a super high-tech replacement for Mechs (NEXTS)used by big companies that had the fire-power of many NEXTS but were manned by hundreds of people and so a single peerson' revolt couldn't harm the business as a whole), called the Spirit of Motherwill, which was built up to be a big fight, but was actually destroyed by you before you even fight White Glint. White Glint was [i]actually[/i] taken down by you and Ardstarva (sp?), the rank 1 NEXT by Tourney Standards, or by Ardstarva and Fragile, a new AI driven, incredibly fast NEXT, depending on the path you take in the game. So I don't get that intro scene. And I just like talking about the game.[/sp] Anyone know when the 5th Armored Core is coming to America? Oh, and as for my opinion on the subject, I like both, maybe western a bit more, but each side has it's own highs and lows.

you assholes seem to be forgetting the best : [img]http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:d0A55sJ8BY6IVM:http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f213/Domon7411/BurningFingerAttack.jpg&t=1[/img]

I don't understand why people have to complain about the humanoid mecha, there's much sillier. [img]http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/g/fuunsaiki.jpg[/img] Horse Gundam Piloted by a horse

Looks pretty lame tbh

Best part is that it's controlled by an actual horse.

That makes it more lame

Despite my love for gundam, I love the mechs I build myself, even more. :buddy: [img]http://uppix.com/f-DSCF33524d08818a0007c565.jpg[/img] I'm an awful photographer. But I'm good at building things in legos. :downs:

Phantom crash stole so much of my time when I was younger [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdfPMXtX2Ms[/media] I always made more realistic builds for my mechs and played in cockpit view, felt so epic [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2292/2348322950_e48f248705_o.jpg[/img]

Hi guys do i count? No... okey [img]http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/7712/sentineld.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=nightlord;26715278]No, that is an actual W40K thing.[/QUOTE] we know it's an actual warhammer piece. The problem is the design looks exactly like a steampunk AT-ST.

famous facepunch poster doug here, eastern mechs all the way newblords: [IMG]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f400/DougBailey/goodrendergundam.jpg[/IMG] download the mecha game i modeled for on christmas day [url]http://www.moddb.com/games/lift-a-eureka-seven-mod[/url]

[QUOTE=Swilly;26703978]Speaking of Combine and mechs....I always though you could easily trip the Striders, so why don't they!? The mother fuckers have sticks for legs![/QUOTE] I assume it's because they are so agile and that they might pierce their legs into the ground as opposed to other mechs with legs where they have flat narrow legs, which are a lot easier to lift from the ground.

[QUOTE=daijitsu;26715550]we know it's an actual warhammer piece. The problem is the design looks exactly like a steampunk AT-ST.[/QUOTE] Other then the 2 windows it doesn't really.

I like both styles, eastern mechs mostly because they seem more agile and fast, which makes them cool. And then, western style that are just bad ass.

robotech sucks and so does guren lagann. if you watch anything besides gundam you are a nerd. [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("Alt of permabanned user" - verynicelady))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=Dronaroid;26716340]TTGL was a parody.[/QUOTE] true, but im still allowed to think its gay? [editline]15th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=nightlord;26716080]Other then the 2 windows it doesn't really.[/QUOTE] and the legs, and the shape of the cockpit, and... well, pretty much everything.
