  1. Crossbone is a ton of fun, it's what happens when you take a serious UC setting and drop a few super robot characters in to mix things up. As far as G-Reco being a sequel is concerned, I remember hearing that Tomino has given conflicting answers saying it's a prequel one time and a sequel the other. I still like to think Turn A is the end all but oh well.
  2. Funny enough even some in universe stuff makes fun of that, in one of the Crossbone Mangas (I think it was Steel Seven) there's a part at the SNRI Research base where the head developer of a new MS says he will have to tweak the design to be more Gundam-ish so it'll be an easy sell to the Federation.
  3. The Griffon is kinda expensive, I hope it comes with all the option parts in one box.
  4. IBO is a good bordering on great Gundam show, I'd definitely recommend watching it. The series does drag at points with a few three episode stints without anything happening and a few plot lines that were better left cut out but when it gets going oh man it's great. Like Seto said the combat is fast and brutal, very refreshing from the usual Gundam fights. They even managed to make mobile armors into even more horrific killing machines than usual.
  5. Hah there are a few that could fit in the Macross II slot like Victory and Age. I would say that Mac 7 and G Gundam actually have gained a better reputation over the years, though I may be a bit biased as I like both of em.
  6. When I played 2025 on the PS3 the frame rate slowdown was terrible, especially with two players splitscreen. If you can swing the extra bucks 4.1 on the PS4 runs great, even in splitscreen (and it's a great game too, though it can get repetitive).
  7. I'm probably in for an Arcadia Garland if the reviews are good, though I may end up waiting for the Proto Garland since I like the design way more. I'm still on the fence about the Freeing E=X, I love the design but man that transformation video really didn't help me want to buy it. Then there's the possibility that Arcadia may do an E=X, maybe I'll just wait it out.
  8. Apparently it only uses the arms, most of the leg inner frame, and lower torso frame from the 2.0 MK II. Everything else is original.
  9. Hah maybe you will be in the credits as an executive producer!
  10. Wait did you buy the 1/20 Garland and the strike pack? Oh man I hope it's worth it for ya.
  11. EA has been slowly ramping things up over the past few years with more and more microtransactions, it just surprised me that they would go all in with mandatory loot box progression when they have been playing it smart. I guess they figured no one was gonna stop them and Activision was hot on their heels in the scummy business department so might as well go for the goal early. Hell people probably wouldn't have even cared if the EA reddit response wasn't so hilariously out of touch.
  12. I'm not going to play it even with the fancy Star Wars skin and sounds pack. From everything I keep hearing Battlefront is an example of everything wrong with the game industry right now. EA pushed things a bit too far too fast and now they gotta face the backlash, hopefully it will give other developers pause in the loot box craze.
  13. Oh my bad I gave the wrong impression there, all the game says when it starts up is "Gameplay recording paused because you entered blocked scene". The rest of it is just an educated guess since footage from the game is fine on YT as long as it's not playing the music. You are probably right that a large part has to do with YT's automated copyright machine just destroying everything as usual.
  14. A lot of the songs are battle tracks from many of the series but I'd assume the big issue is there are a few of the series op tracks in there. It's strange to me they would release a game without securing the rights to the songs in it but Gundam VS has a pretty bare bones localization so I'd assume everything was done on the cheap.
  15. I think it's because nobody cares about the first episode of ZZ let alone watched it long enough to get to that part. If anyone ever needed a quick buck I'm sure it would make for an easy copyright case seeing as it was officially sold in the US and UK. Here's another strange oddity, when you start up the new Gundam VS game it instantly tells you that you cannot stream any of the games footage (through the PS4 anyways). The music playing in the background would cause copyright claims on YT so Bandai just said screw it and blocked all recording. I'm not sure if it's just laziness or if they don't own the rights to most of those songs in the US.
  16. You can do it! Be warned ZZ doesn't get anywhere until around episode 20 then some good stuff starts happening (I'd even say skip those in-between episodes if you can't take it).
  17. Build Fighters is a show about building gunpla and using a semi magic technology to fight with other peoples gunpla. As with any Gundam show the main focus is getting you to buy gunpla and BF has probably been the most successful in that regard. It's a smart way to market all Gundam series since you can have cool fights between MS from all series in one show. That aside it's still a great series with fun characters, great fights and has a lot of love for everything Gundam related crammed into it. I'd say give it a go, Build Fighters is a fun time especially if you are a long time Gundam fan. I would stay away from the English dub as it's half assed and the sequel Build Fighters Try isn't as good but it still had some fun moments.
  18. So what's happening now, did the SDF-1 get shot back in time and kill everybody in the process making some hellish time loop? I gotta admit that's actually kinda fun if it's the case.
  19. Pretty sure I saw a ribbon insignia on the tail of that F-18, good to know Mobius Squadron is still around.
  20. Yup, the VF-1 is apparently 12.68 meters tall in battroid.
  21. Neat, time to buy some super expensive carts! Are you going to build an arcade cabinet or just hook it up to a monitor?
  22. New releases on the horizon! MG GM Command! Not P-Bandai! HG Origin Act Zaku, also not P-Bandai!
