those are legitimately awesome, the retro arcade in downtown portland has one

oh man i remember cyber sled, that kicked all kinds of ass

apparently cyber sled is on the Wii virtual console...oh just in Japan. Thanks for getting my hopes up internet.

There was a PS1 port of Cybersled

it's dirt cheap

especially on the internet

lasers won't even penetrate my navigational deflectors :<

there's some weird inaccuracies to shooting

maybe that's part of them fixing the game

also i want to turn off the smug flavor dialog but it won't let me

Thats harsh

Most popular western robot franchise by default

well am I wrong

Just mean

Man I wonder if htechs amazingly niche nature is such that even gundam has more exposure in the west

well you can still find VHS tapes of Gundam Wing at grocery stores

can't say the same for the btech cartoon

all the western pen and paper or minature robot games i can think of are either japanese style or direct ripoffs of gundam

gonna play besm mecha

holy shit it's got knees. And hip sockets.

can't tell if torso turns.

the funniest part is how violently they fall over themselves to be orthodox for the mechwarrior crowd

even though its clear that know how totally fucked it is

and man those hips look like sold bars that just bend somehow; that's TRADITIONAL BTECH ENGINEERING :V

I like the blatantly copied Assault Suits or Macross style arm shield that probably does nothing.

i think you mean 'the left arm that probably does nothing' veef :V

look they've had like eight games to actually implement melee combat

I will forgive decades of terrible game design if they just let me punch buildings

amusingly it looks liek they could replace the arm with 30 lrms with no problme

sorry Dan, we're not allowed to research the reason why these robots have so many missiles cuz then we'd find out that has nothing to do with how much damage they do but the effectiveness of anti missile defenses

or why the Dougram has a six tube launcher because it's a goddamn rocket pod

sorry dude they need to fire that many semiguided missiles to increase their odds of hitting the tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny weaknesses in the otherwise impervious amour ok

that one Clan robit with the ten machine guns must have diamond tipped bullets

The only question I have about MW-Online is :

Will they manage to make a game about giant robots fighting against each others more borings than World of Tanks ? That'd be quit a feat right here...

dude nerds love wot for some bizarre reason

i'd expect mwo to be world of mechs, only with heaps of really strange stuff that exists solely to pander to retentives from 1987

but its a good sign that they said turn based rules simply ill not work lol
