In AC Unity, they had some similar stuff where the bios were written from the perspective of a history nerd working on the animus program rather than a textbook and there'd be lots of snipey comments. It made it funny to read.

That's always been the case. Shawn/the history dude is the one that fills out the animus comments. Well, until Black Flag. I dunno if Unity/Rogue bring Rebecca and him back for the "not-Abstergo" animus writings, but they've always had "comedic"/sarcastic snipes since at least 2.

They are in Unity and one of the better things about that game. Especially since Shaun is a Brit and doesn't even pretend he's holding back his biases about the French in his side notes. It always felt like it was worth popping open the menu just to see what he wrote about events.

Looking better than in the last trailer, but still 'off' and lacking in detail/animation compared to other fighters.

Question : What Front Mission would you recommend to play ? Game must be available (have a PS3 and a PC) and localized in english. Saw a video yesterday evening of the beginning of 3 and it scratched my tactical itch.

I played FM3 back in the day and had tremendous fun with that (I was able to cheese the last mission, tho) and I had forgotten how the game had such good mechanics and was right up my alley. I would not be adverse to playing 3 again (it's on the PS store for pretty cheap) but I figured I might as well ask for a new experience.

Priority is for a solid tactical experience in battle. I'm lukewarm on the worst excesses of JRPG tropes (FM3 didn't strike me as the worst there, except for the protagonist repeating the last word of the phrase just uttered as a question. MIDAS ?)

archnemesis · « **Reply #15981 on:** November 05, 2015, 06:45:39 AM »

I enjoyed Front Mission for the SNES when I played it fifteen years ago. It ran well in an emulator back then.

tiesto · « **Reply #15982 on:** November 05, 2015, 07:43:47 AM »

The original Front Mission came out on DS with an extra, optional path that unlocks when you beat the game (speaking of which, I never played through that). I've heard good things about 5, and although it never got an English release there's a fan patch for it.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #15983 on:** November 05, 2015, 09:55:29 AM »

Everyone says 5 is the best.

demi · « **Reply #15984 on:** November 05, 2015, 10:02:06 AM »

I've never played a Front Mission but you have a lot of options available.

Front Mission (1) - Emulator (SNES/DS)
Front Mission 3 - Emulator (PSX); PS3 (Retail or via PSN)
Front Mission 4 - Emulator (PS2)
Front Mission 5 (fan translation) - Emulator (PS2)

Positive Touch · « **Reply #15985 on:** November 05, 2015, 11:17:57 AM »

if your pc can run it then you should go for 5

Thanks for the info on Front Mission. I doubt the PC will run a PS2 emulator. The 16 bit one looks pretty interesting.

archnemesis · « **Reply #15988 on:** November 06, 2015, 04:31:01 AM »

I remember using frame skipping a lot. The combat animations aren't as interesting the 200th time.

Which if your PC is anything decent you probably can. I mean if my PC can emulate it, i feel like anyones can.

I played Front Mission on DS (which I understand is pretty faithful/improved from the SNES original). It was alright but these games feel so slow /ponderous I really don't have the patience to get through (I played for about 10 hours) and start thinking about all the other things i could be doing with my time. The soundtrack is one of my favorites from Shimomura & Matsueda, and there's only about 45 minutes of it vs. 50+ hours getting through the game so I'll just listen to that =P

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #15998 on:** November 10, 2015, 01:16:20 PM »

the Skullgirls thing is sort of, uh, funny in that they are effectively psycho stalking fictional characters.

Rufus · « **Reply #15999 on:** November 10, 2015, 01:17:19 PM »

That's my main problem with SRPGs. They feel so unbearably slow. I tried to play Devil Survivor on the DS, but that's an SRPG where you then go into JRPG battles when you engage enemies and that's just... No.

I didn't remember FM1 to be that long (though I only did the main mission, not the optional mission exclusive to the DS version), think it took me ~25 hours. Which is pretty short by SRPG standards.

Lol, if they just now noticed then they ain't been playing Skullgirls. I haven't fired it up in a while but you'd get assaulted with what the kids called pantsu at a pretty heavy rate pre-alterations.

..a colleague has pointed out to me that the game only had 2 moves that resulted in such flashing, but either way it's still a pretty damn fanservicey game.

The $80 Fire Emblem version is going to be the superior version. Actually comes with both games on a single cartridge, unlike having to buy two separate cartridges.

I'm kinda scared to play Fire Emblem these days. I'd prefer to think of it as a mildly punishing rock-paper-scissors series I played instead of waifu to the future or w/e it is now.
