Are those Super Robot Wars games any good? (or only for anime freaksfans :blobbalance:)
Yeah, they are pretty fun. It's classic Japanese grid-based strategy games but with giant robots. In Japanese mecha genre, robots are usually classified into realistic robots and super robots, and you can find the later in this game (as the name suggested). One of the biggest appeals is that most of these units have skills with absurd animations like the one I posted. The game is especially fun if you have knowledge to those robots but they are not required to enjoy the game.

Strategy-wise, you can install different weapons to the units and every weapon has cost and requirement to use. Some unique units have their own original weapons that can't be removed. I have only played one (Original Generations on PS2) and the game is actually a bit unbalanced with some overpowered units. I also heard the recent entries are pretty easy but their stories are still interesting to watch.

Yeah, this is definitely not for me. I will wait for inevitable Front Mission HD Collection :doubtblob:

I am very happy with the inclusion of Knights & Magic, as well as Magic Knight Rayearth and Guns x Sword. What a shame that it does not have Grungust but maybe I should wait for the next OG game.
Knights & Magic had some really neat mechs indeed. Hoping for another season of the anime~

Also just saw that it includes SSSS.Gridman and Majestic Prince :blobeyes:

God, I used to love everything Clamp did back when was first getting into manga and anime. I really need to check what there recent works are like.

Have any of the SRW ever featured Five Star Stories? Another manga I used to love.

Sadly, I think Magic Knight is Clamp's only mecha work, and Five Star Stories was not involved in any SRW game. :disappointed-face:

Note that the appid of the refund is 1151760. Don't confuse it with another version.
This would explain why the Nacon package (750130) hasn't been removed this time, it's partially official, Nacon won the case and they will sell the game, now, the thing is, will they and Frogwares offer the enhanced edition on Steam and other platforms under Nacon's control?

Awesome game. I'm glad I activated it when it was still possible to use VPN for region restricted keys...
Interesting. Guess I can't quote giveaway posts and if I do, the quoted post becomes "There was a GIVEAWAY here. It's gone now." and I can't edit or delete my post at all. Dunno if worth looking into Valdien ?

Don't know if it's by design, but there's no way to enter for games in giveaways with no entries that has already ended?

Was interested in Magicka for a coop playthrough with a friend.

Started Yakuza 0 yesterday. It pains me to say that the game hasn’t caught me yet.
The game starts to be good around chapter 5 or so. I don't remember exactly.

Edit: you unlock the Real Estate Royale at chapter 5, and Cabaret Club Czar at chapter 7. Try to power through the first four chapters (roughly 1/4th of the game).

Whatever the next game just please don't be Uncharted 4 like from their PP slide.

Bloodborne would seriously be perfect before the end of the year. If they wait any longer then Elden Ring will dominate all time/money from FROM fans next year. Sony has to be smart to capitalize on this. They would sell so many Steam copies if they can get it out before Winter seal.

This is something I would never have expected in 2021.
I didn't play FF X-2 so I don't know that story arc and if it might be necessary a 3rd installment on the the X saga to I guess complete the story?

The big question besides whether this project finally turns out to be real will be how would SE design the FFX-3 game? I don't think they would get back to turn-based mode giving how FFXV is very action-oriented but who knows what SE has in mind.

Is this related to novel where:
Tidus kicks a ball it explodes and he dies ?

I’m definitely intrigued by the surprise of SRW more than anything else but I know nothing about it and have of course never played any of the others 😅
Also no Eva is pretty sucky 😒

No. The right answer is GOD OF WAR. It has to be next, it just has to be.
I would love Uncharted 1-4 this year but it's probably not happening.

I just hope it's not Dreams next after Days Gone, I don't care about it one tiny bit.
