Topic: Why doesn't Capcom just [parasitic bomb] some Battle Network games?

[Ladd Spencer]

Don't diss the RPG games man. Pac-Man was an old arcade game, but they couldn't do anything about it. Want a real Pac-Man game to write home about? Go play Pac-In-Time.

The only good Pac-Man game is Pac-Man 2.

Ya be starting to sound like a real EA suck-up (or an overall fanboy of anything above the rating of T). Hey, guess what? There are better games out there to play. Like Team Fortress 2 if you can handle the concept of teamwork. Which is the overall plot device for EXE.

I [tornado fang]ing hate EA, and I hate countless shootin' gaems even more.

Fun is indeed fun, especially when spamming Strike Freedom's gun

Is that SEED or 00? I forgot to remember because they both sucked.

SEED Destiny

Yuck

Quite.

This is like the only good Gundam not made by Tomino. I guess 8th MS is ok

[Archer]

I guess 8th MS is ok

G is good, 8th MS Team is [parasitic bomb].

[spoiler]Best non-Tomino Gundam is 0800 War in the Pocket.[/spoiler]

There was a 2? I thought it was Pac-Land, which was mostly forgettable.

I [tornado fang]ing hate EA, and I hate countless shootin' gaems even more.

I thought you liked such games with the crude humor, the m rating.. *head explodes from confusion as BFD had a shooter section or two*

Is that SEED or 00? I forgot to remember because they both sucked.

SEED started to go to the dogs when they introduced the dreaded romantic sub-plot, something that plauges the Gundam series even to this day. In fact, very few get this right which is also my anime pet-peeve, which is why I acted out in the reposted thread. G Gundam also got THAT right as it didin't interfere with the plot as much as SEED's.

No you idiot, SEED went truly bad when they introduced the Freedom and Lacus somehow become the leader of a military faction despite being nothing but a pop star.

It was bad before that with it's sameface on everyone among other things, but the later parts of SEED and Destiny are almost offensively bad.

[Gaia]

SEED is [parasitic bomb] to the point of overratingly disgusting regardless (I still see Lacus as an unecessary addon, and that hard-to-pronounce named girl got the shaft offscreen apparently). Gee, makes me wonder how THAT got an expanded lifespan and universe and some of the GOOD gundams didin't.

Not really, I'd say SEED is mediocre at most. It's only when you get to Destiny that it gets that bad.

GOOD gundams

wat

[Gaia]

For some reason, I tend to tolerate the satirical ones more, as they seem to take a jab at their own story at best. Though SEED's character thearter sucked.

SEED sucked when the Gundams changed colors in the first episode. And the only Gundam girlfriend who's allowed to live is Rain. Does this SEED girl die so as to make the protagonist sad?

[Archer]

Rain was just a damsel in distress like all the Gundam females, nothing special.

[Ladd Spencer]

Yea but Domon doesn't kill her or anything

[Archer]

There are a surprising lot of Gundam love interests that don't die, just usually someone else dies in their place to make up the death count.

See: Victory Gundam were pretty much everyone but Shakti dies despite her being the one doing all the stupid [parasitic bomb].

[Ladd Spencer]

Victory is the one with semi-naked women?

[Treleus]

I lost interest in Gundam after G. Between Gundam Wing's high-class production quality and G Gundam's over-the-top ass-kicking, SEED and its ilk don't offer much to interest me. The obvious romance between candyfied lead characters wasn't cutting the mustard, and the action wasn't memorable. The only thing I remember from that show were the oddly drawn faces and the pink-haired princess with a round robotic Furby thing.

8th MS Team looks [tornado fang]ing awesome, though, if the intro is any indication.

Should I watch it?

So anyways, back to Battle Network: I remember really enjoying the anime when I could get to it. I lost interest after I couldn't see the next episode for a while, but I didn't get that far. My favorite moment is still Lan getting elbowed by Mayl. She doesn't just do a casual elbow with one arm; she puts both arms into it. Nicely done.

[Archer]

08th MS Team is [parasitic bomb]. You can do better.

[Sakura Leic]

Even if it's just 12 episodes?  I kinda wanted to give it a watch, It looks kinda unique given the setting.

[Police Girl]

a round robotic Furby thing.

Don't you be shitting on Haro [chameleon sting]er.

That thing's been around for ages.

[Ladd Spencer]

Haro's awesome. Watch Mobile Suit.

Watch ZZ

[Treleus]

He's the mascot? Then why did it take until SEED for me to even see him?

[Sakura Leic]

Because he usually shows up in the really really really old Gundams.

[Ladd Spencer]

He's not the mascot per se. Just a recurring character. Like Metools but there's only one in any timeline. Originally the same Haro reappears in Zeta and ZZ, and SEED wishes it was actual Gundam, so they put one in. It's not really Haro though. Just fake horse [parasitic bomb]. Wing's another bad clone, but with no Haro IIRC

[Protoman Blues]

I liked 08th MS Team. Great soundtrack. I'd give it a look.
