  1. Aw, what a shame. If only you had something that could play all three games AND modern games AND older games-- Oh wait. That would mean having to install Origin. Screw that. Never mind, you keep doing you. EDIT: Actually, apparently only the third game (aka The Worst) requires Origin. The second, if bought through Steam, will prompt for an Origin login to access its online features, but if you're just playing the single player, you can safely ignore it.
  2. What IS Macross the First? Retelling of SDFM?
  3. Ah, thanks. I searched around there for the Ba as well. Shipping to retailers Feb. 23, product available Feb. 26.
  4. 1) So... do the VAs/singers kayfabe as the characters, or are they just themselves in a group that happens to share the same name as their anime counterparts? 2) Do they release their own songs, or are they just doing the same ones they sang in Delta? 3) I remember Zero having a sort of environmentalism edge to it, with Kadun symbolizing environmentally (and/or just generally) destructive technologies/character aspects of mankind, but it was always tenuous and got swept aside to make room for more robot bang-bangs and giant alien flower gods. EDIT: Also, since I'm still having a good time here in the past: It's another idol group cosplaying as their characters, so it's sort of topical. Yes?
  5. Loving this post too much right now. EDIT: Oh, I like jazz just fine, it's just what I heard from (admittedly only the first episode of) Thunderbolt didn't hit my ear well. I was talking about this Seatbelts: And boy, what a fun trip it is so far.
  6. Has anyone played this game? Noitu Love 2: Devolution - http://store.steampowered.com/app/207530/ I'm watching an LP of it and it looks really REALLY cool. If any of you have any impressions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks.
  7. Gah. I knew I was misremembering it. Thanks for that.
  8. Did Hasegawa ever announce a re-issue date?
  9. (I'll be honest. I completely forgot about them. Shame on me.) They deserve a series dedicated to just the two of them, for sure, but what I mean is the main triangle. They end up ditching the man altogether and do like Harley and Poison Ivy (apparently???). And bonus points if the man doesn't get super butthurt about it. ...actually, now I think about it, I'd love the new series to be a second take on the formation of Walkure. Jamming a sailor senshi origin story into half an episode was criminal. Criminal! (Also spend more time boosting Kaname/Arad please and thank you)
  10. The SV-262Ba is now on pre-order at HLJ: http://hlj.com/product/BANN12183 Just to keep things clear, here's the - Bandai Hs (released): http://hlj.com/product/BANN07587 - Hasegawa Hs (released): http://hlj.com/product/HSG28 - Bandai Ba (March release): http://hlj.com/product/BANN12183 - Hasegawa Ba (February release): http://hlj.com/product/HSG65835
  11. If it's anything like Gundam Thunderbolt jazz, then no thanks. ...bring back the Seatbelts, though...
  12. I admit one big reason I don't like most Gundam is because the transformable suits never look any good. The Delta Plus gets closest, but that's one in like 3,000. Also, hey. Hey. First it was Revenge of the Rising Vengeance, now Evangelion? Lay off my childhood, people! Next thing you know, one of you's gonna shout down Escaflowne! --- If they do have to stick to a "hetero" triangle, I'd like it to tip back in the women's favor with a 2 guys:1 girl ratio. Not because Plus did it and Plus is the greatest (this broken record will go on playing), but because... well, because none of the others have. That's 5 to 1 in the mainline shows. Or make the girls go full yuri. They kept teasing that and teasing that with Frontier but never went all the way... though maybe that was intentional?
  13. There's a possibility that the new Xbox, Scorpio, will have Oculus Rift support. (Microsoft owns Oculus.)
  14. No-- Wait-- Hmmm... You've got a point there. But Delta had VFs in it AT ALL, which was... noticeable, at any rate.
  15. My, somebody's in some sort of mood today. I said what I said in good spirits; dislike the game all you want, I'm not saying you're wrong. You're just getting more and more off-topic is all. I'd argue they could even ditch the giant transforming planes and coast for a few good years on idol groups alone, judging by the AKBs and the Idolmasters. Actually that'd be really interesting to see, now I think about it...
  16. Whoa, hey now. Trash talk each other all you want, but leave Plat-G and my Rising of the Revengeance out of this, yeah? No one badmouths Revenge Rising without suffering THE WRATH OF THE USA! ...ahem.
  17. asdf What IS, generally, the HG-branded take on Macross? I can't imagine it must be THAT negative, considering so much of Macross, including the soap opera pop music elements, formed the backbone of Robotech... Regarding Plus, it's hard to argue against the fact that it was and remains the storytelling high mark of the franchise. I still hold up the movie edition as one of the gold standards of anime. Macross Zero has similarly dark tones and way, way more action, yet lags far behind in the storytelling department. Also, Kojima is about the least subtle game director. He's still one of the very few Good Auteurs out there, who makes good games that succeed despite their/his glaring flaws, but subtle is most certainly not in his vocabulary.
  18. Macross has been going downhill since frickin' Plus, but then again there's only one place TO go once you've reached the mountain top. And it's not like it was a leap off a cliff or anything, more like a slow trek to another cap in the distance. Delta was disappointing, but I'm inclined to agree with this sentiment: I'm still hopeful that a Delta movie will reset the story to its original air show setting. Likable characters in a less high-stakes setting would be a fun Macross watch. Not everything needs to hang the fate of the world in the balance. Plus certainly didn't. It was just three people, a competition to see who could fly the flyest, and a sexy robot.
  19. I, like a fool, bought this before it became a P-Bandai exclusive item. (Previously it was exclusive to some theater or final episode screening or something.) I forget how much it cost me, and that's probably for the best... As is, it's probably out of production now. But you can try using From Japan (or other proxy services that I forget the names of at the moment) to buy it. Understand, though, that you'll have to use Japanese search terms/characters and/or this item's particular product page from the P-Bandai site.
  20. Yeah, I'm watching an LP of it and nope. nope nope nope NOOOOOOOPE. Oh, and also because I was bored, a side by side:
  21. So do I, if for no other reason than to match with my 1/48 YF-19.
