All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!
kajnrig replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Spider-Man 2's one saving grace is its web-swinging mechanic. Fortunately, that one mechanic is so good as to make up for all of the other middling to downright bad aspects of the game. The PS1 Spider-Man is definitely not as good, but it's a more balanced package. At least in both cases, the CGI cutscenes are equally eye-searing. The original AC had "Detective Mode" a full two years before Arkham Asylum debuted with the same thing. Granted, AA actually had some use for it, but still... Heck, even the recent Spider-Man games have incorporated AA mechanics of one variety or another into them. It's like a disgusting ouroboros of gameplay design. -
Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX

This might be an absurd criticism, but I absolutely loathe that they're still using the same sound effects that the original show did. I mean in general, mecha anime have been using the same stock sounds in perpetuity, but still... it gets a bit more annoying when it's Gundam, the supposed god-king, the pillar franchise of the entire genre. -
Do you live in Japan? Is this indicative that the supply shortage is affecting locals as well, not just third party sellers?

nah man the hype ain't there, no one's gonna want that

2019 would be its 25th anniversary, yes? Seems like a good time to coincide a toy release.

Bit of column A, bit of column B, methinks. A store that normally places a high priority on customer service and communication suddenly doesn't, and a store that has notoriously bad customer service and communication lives up to its reputation. CnP'ing my MK reply as it's the last post of the last page:

To be fair, the Batman Arkham games looks like Spider-Man with a Batman skin on him, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Does anyone remember the old PS1 Spider-Man game? Was watching an LP of it the other day and boy is it still as entertaining as it was as a kid, and still mostly mechanically sound, too. For being the first 3D Spider-Man game, they got a lot of the mechanics down exactly right. -
As far as I'm aware, none of us here at MWF who ordered from them got theirs. If you spoke to others and they didn't get theirs, either, that raises some questions... Some (I want to say a slim majority?) CDJ customers got theirs, but like NY and MK and presumably others, some customers didn't. --- Anyway, heard back from MK. The gist of it is: - If Bandai decides to do anything, MK can't talk about it before Bandai does. (Understandable.) - If Bandai reproduces this toy, MK will offer it for sale. - If MK offers it for sale, they will give priority to... me, at least, and presumably all other canceled preorder customers as well, as well as offer a (nonspecific) discount on price plus shipping. (Dunno if this will hold true, I wasn't and won't be expecting it to hold true, but I'm certainly not dissuaded from giving them another go either way.)

What is the "release date" for NY? Would the Paypal preorder deadline be 20 days from that, or 20 days from the initial Bandai release date (3-15-2018)?
-
They did do a bang-up job on the Jaeger names, didn't they? Shame they didn't do the same for the characters. Jake Pentecost? Couldn't at least have gone with Jacobi Pentecost? Say what you will about the acting, but Raleigh Becket is a great name. All the first movie's characters had great names. Jake, Amara, and Nate... just don't compare. Still, all this positive feedback makes me want to see it again now. Gonna try and snag a cheap seat this weekend.

fixed also lewd

Just sent Mykombini an email asking if they could provide any insight on whether Bandai is gearing up a second production run or not, and whether they would be taking orders again if so. It's a long shot, but it's not as if I have anything to lose from it.

Wasn't it remade for 3DS under the Assault Horizon name? Oops, I stand corrected. AC2, not 3. (I coulda sworn, though...) Both of them ported to Switch... Hm... The PSP ACs would definitely be good candidates for remasters/remakes as well. They already look and run great on PPSSPP, all they would really need is a texture update. Plus the unique fighters in Skies of Deception are all really cool. I just want my Strangereal aerial soap opera, damn it!

To the manga? I don't even know now, it's been so long since I stopped reading manga... To the original show? I bet Funimation'll be right there, blank discs in hand, ready to port the entire mega-franchise over.

I dunno, holding your money and other preorder items hostage seems pretty dirty. EDIT: BUT I don't have an actual dog in that fight, so maybe I should just shut my mouth.

Yep, Mykombini refunded me too. I find it hard to fault them, though. It really does seem pretty obvious to me that Bandai shafted everyone on this specific item for whatever reason. EVERY store was and is having problems getting sufficient product, and again, only on this specific item. People are talking about receiving other preordered items before and after this fiasco from the same store - NY, Mykombini, CDJ, etc. - without any trouble. If there's any fault to find with the stores, it's in their less than proactive response, some more so than others. Waiting a little while, talking to the supplier, trying to get some sort of fix in order, that's fine. That's what I assume these stores were doing. However, keeping completely mum to the customer, that's kind of... like I said, less than proactive. If there's one thing I've gleaned from this, it's the importance of customer service. Mykombini, all things considered, has been fairly decent about their communication with customers. The refund email I received didn't skimp on the reason why they're refunding people. I'll probably try them again sometime (maybe for the (hopefully) eventual Arad 31A or Alpha 2 31A), which is more than I can say about NY. They seem downright antagonistic in both their customer service and company policies. "We'll give you zero communication if possible and intentionally vague canned responses if not, and we're only too willing to hold onto your money without giving you what you paid for, but if you dare call us out on our shitty practices or open a Paypal dispute we'll cancel all your preorders, cut all your rewards, and possibly close your account." Yeah, I know where I won't be taking my money anytime soon.

Methinks (or mehopes) it must have been a human error, since the page has been completely wiped. Likely they were trying to delete it but clicked the wrong button(s). Is this common practice for them? ie deleting pages for discontinued items? Hopefully this means that they've finally received their stock and will be sending them out by the end of the week. If not, I'll send 'em a query and get back to you all with their answer.

$350-550. EDIT: Well poop, 70k yen? Sheesh. I stand corrected.

This is good news for me, since I don't like the Lil' Drakens that much and far prefer the VF by itself. These prices are great.

Just now? Or do you mean way back when? Because if now, I need to have some words with them...

I went through an old folder and came across this, I feel it appropriately expresses what Bandai thinks of us:
