rikiryou Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Lol, bought the game, but your PS2 can't support it? Gonna get it chipped? So far the review scores that I saw up at magicbox were 28 and another gave it 31, so it should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwinges Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Got my slide card today but no game. Here's a hint...Make sure your slide card is right side up. Its not labeled and seems to only work when the tab with the hook is to the right. Will look somewhat like this: oooooooooooooooooo o 00000000000000000000 00 000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 I played with mine for a 1/2 hour before I realized I had the card up side down The directions pics are of no help either. Its a pain in the ass until you get the hang of it. you feel like your breaking your PS2. Also use a sewing needle to losen the pins for the cover. cheers.

vfxraven19 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I just bought a legit copy of it at Frank and Sons! For $65 flat, and ready to play with my Messiah2 modded PS2!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 do they sell those slide cards or any mod type thingy for ps2 at frank & sons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 (edited) Where did you guys pick up your slide cards from? Do these stores accept Paypal? EDIT: I also can't believe they went with that cover. I'd much rather see a Haruhiko Mikomoto artwork. Edited October 23, 2003 by UN Spacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwinges Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Damn some of my 0's got moved. There should be a little hook in the upper right. Also if you've played the game please write a review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob joe mac Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 (edited) I have to agree with others claims on the slidecard. The instructions are SO stupid they try to make everything SO complicated. All you really do is 1. (Make sure the card has the hook facing right) and move it right 2. Pull out the tray put in boot disc 3.Switch discs 4. Push tray back in 5. repeat step one but when you fell the resistance move around the bump so sorta like P= Slide card hook O= Bump O ...............................................PO....... Move P around O and move all the way left left PUSH X BAM you DONE!!! I know it sounds complicated but its SO easy. EDIT- forget the diagram it turned out screwed up Edited October 23, 2003 by bob joe mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vfxraven19 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 This game is flat out awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Battlecry is crap compared to this... Can you tell if the DYRL stages are completely diferent from the SDF stages? i have gone through a few of the TV based missions... at first they make you select what you want, DYRL style or TV, I have not yet been through the DYRL stage types yet... There are stupid time limits which are kinda stupid (like that of M3). I will play more tonight, damn I have to clear out some memory card space... Overall, this game is cool. I did want Castlevania, which is cool too, but I decided if I saw it at Frank and Sons today, go buy it, and i saw it and bought it. Hope you slide card/swap magic peeps get your stuff soon.

dyowelb Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 just curious...is there going to be 'for US' copy of this game??? ps sam, i'm still waiting for the sd progress shots my 4 sd kits are ready to roll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 just curious...is there going to be 'for US' copy of this game??? Unlikley. I've never put much stock in e-petitions. However, I still say we should at least make the effort to show Bandai we're interested in this game. For a game this cool, we should try, right?

There are stupid time limits which are kinda stupid (like that of M3). I will play more tonight, damn I have to clear out some memory card space... Overall, this game is cool. A few questions: - 1) Are there time limits on every stage, or just some of them? 2) What about the free missions, do they also have time limits? 3) Are the free missions identical to the story mode missions?

Graham 1) It will not be all the time... So far it happened when the SDF-01 launched to space, fought more, then decended back to earth, then a time limit came up to destroy the Regults... 2) & 3) Haven't done the free missions yet, sorry... I hope to play more after Smallville is finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoOkyKyoji Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 How's the gameplay? I know that the game received a 31/40 from one of the Japanese gaming press (I'm thinking Famitsu here, because it got a gold award), and Sega AM2 did work on the game. I'm just happy that there's a Macross game now that's on par with Capcom/Bandai's Gundam DX series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Well, that does it. I cannot stand it anymore. I'm buying this game AND a japanese PS2. At the end of this month. I need a standalone R2-player, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just happy that there's a Macross game now that's on par with Capcom/Bandai's Gundam DX series. So far I love it, I just started the DYRL story line, it's just like DYRL, but you play as the new rookie pilot. There seems to be a lot of 'protecting' missions. The flight controls are ok. There is easy where the analog pitches up and down, and sides will turn their direction (kinda like a starfox control), and there is advanced which is more like a simulator type flight control. Gerwalk, seems like battlecry's controls, but the right analog stick controls your fighters altitude. Battroid seems like Armored Core, except you cannot use missiles. So far i got the the 1J added, still playing through though. There's an option for automatic camera (which seems to be in affect when you launch missiles, it will follow the missiles to the target), this can be turned off if it gets annoying watching your missiles hit or miss. All the OG sounds effects are there, which gives the authentic macross feel, and the music is Macross music too. I am satisfied of what Sega-AM2 did, this blows VFX/VFX2 outa the way, IMHO this is THEE BEST Macross game I have played. What's also cool is that you can transform to battroid and stand on the SDF-01! I just killed a recon ship in Saturn's ring w/ a VE-1 I tried out Free Play mode, seems you cannot use all Valks on what available missions you completed... I tried to use the VE-1 for whatever missions I had (only completed 1-4 in DYRL mode), and I can only acess it in 2 missions. GBP armor is there, only in free play mode so far...

jwinges Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Hey treatment. Why waste your money on another PS2 when you can just get a slide card ($29) to use until X-mas. Around x-mas there will be a legal american released boot disk (they will be carrying them at gamestop stores for $20-30) that will allow your ps2 to play imports and any DVD no matter what the region. Also there is a region free hack for the PS2 DVD player out there somewhere. Save your money for more macross goodies. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legal or otherwise. I just have my bro-in-law stationed over in Japan right now, so I'm guessing it'll be a bit easier to procure stuff from there thru him.

Vinny Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I'm pretty mad I blew all my money of Encounters in Space. That game was fun for a few weeks. I want Macross action! Oh well, Christmas is coming up My Japanese PS2 is definitely lacking in titles. Titans vs AEUG, Macross, it's going to be a great Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
