Super Robot Wars - OGs is OUT, OG Gaiden up next

While I know such considerations can be reduced to a numbers game, it wasn't obvious from your comments that you included such into 'statistical math'.
I'm not sure what else it would be. It's another piece of statistical data factored into the calculation, hence it affecting the calculation.

Oh, and bumping up certain stats, at least in SRW W, where you get ridiculous amounts of PP to do so since skills are handled differently.

That's all statistics, though. I'm not saying you have to whip out a calculator and do a bunch of equations, I'm saying all you're doing is manipulating statistical math and being rewarded with battle animations.
Drunks Against Mad Mothers
Nonsense.
I get rewarded with plot progression.
Heh. The plot in SRW is generally a joke, hopefully deliberately, but the character interaction is entertaining. However none of that is really part of gameplay so much as it's the pretense behind the gameplay.
Drunks Against Mad Mothers
Ouch..

"Let's try to stick 13 plots into one plot" isn't exactly a recipe for a NY Times Best-seller.
Drunks Against Mad Mothers
I Don't get why people were bitching about the reduced difficulty. OG2 is still fucking hard ass OG2.
I know, I know...
To each, his own. That is all 8-)

They pretty much want very good use of every single kind of combo and support trick in the fucking book with a nice big boom of Valors.
So, is it just they make the SRX Team and stuff like the Grungust Type 1 and stuff useless and make you use all those stupid reals with "combo attacks." (It feels like Zengar and Elzam have the only Supers that remain useful.) It's nice that OGs let me keep the Wildraubiter and all, but in the end, it comes down to funneling every cent into those "hero Reals" and rather than having fast Reals to wear down a boss's energy, you have to actually find effective upgrades for Gespents, and make sure you unlock the stupid Shishioh blades and the Graviton that makes them worth using.
Well, from what I've seen, stuff like the SRX is still plenty useful, it's just that you're not getting by with it on its own. Nor would a Gespenst or anything like that.
Of course, I could be entirely wrong. I'm no expert strategist.
Well, of course not, even In OG1, I had a lot of other units I liked that seem to have been completely been gimped out in OG2, like the Types 1 and 2 Grungusts, even the Type 3 when Bullet gets it, is not that great, The Chogojin help a little, but even then, they still really gimp in comparison to all those combos you desperately need to set up.
What's more, OG2 throws difficult bosses at you a lot earlier in the game. it reminds me so much of Impact, and it stinks. which is a funny connection, seeing as how Kyosuke and Excellen made their first appearance in Impact.
Drunks Against Mad Mothers
We told you so.
R-FOrmation was hardly a combo attack, its not even worth using because Suprize, it isn't the Alpha continuity, wherin the SRX Team is actually damn useful.
Instead, no, you have to use characters with Combo attacks vas your bread and butter, like Rejects from SRW Impact's freaky plotline. or ones who POSE as said rejects.
They need to recreate the Death Army in OG.
Drunks Against Mad Mothers
Masaki, Ryusei and Arado all have way deeper voices then what I pictured them having.
I wish if I played enough New Game +es of OG1 they'd just give me 2.5 out of pity.
Schadenfreude?
Yeah that's the word.
What does that even mean?
Yeah, the OG storyline is a bit awkward, though still less so than the licensed mecha SRW games. From what I've heard tell, Gundam SEED was originally not part of @3, but it was so popular that Bandai told Banpresto to put it in anyways. Hence why it doesn't fit very well.
Gah, it doesnt matter, I'm jsut going to end up fucking up again. I guess I'll never get to play 2.5. OG2 only seems to be fun for people who are shills for the ATX team and Arado and Seolla, and generrally the stuff from SRW A, and Impact, and the Compact series, and their extreme difficulty. which is probably why OG2 is so hard, it inherits a lot of difficulty/plot from Impact/Compact. (The Einst, The Shadow Mirror dimension, the Inspectors. Alfimi, etc.) OG1 was probably easier because it derives more from the plot of Alpha. (The Balmar Wars.)
Edit: I was wrong about Excellen and Kyosuke making their first appearance in Impact, it was Compact 2, sorry about the mixup. to be fair, Impact was just compact games being updated and re-released on a system that wasn't obscure and failing (olol wonderswan.)
My first Import SRW.
With this awesome story summary and Arkurasu's wiki, I'm playing through the menus with no problems and having a good idea of the story.
On mission 4 at the moment, and it was so annoying at first. Noel just wouldn't dodge the Radam Beast's tentacle rape attack even though the attack's hit rate was at 30%.
Also I really like Kazuma's (The Banpresto Original Protagonist) theme song and mech.
Though Valstork is kind of a weird name
Taking delight in another's misfortune.
Good news: OG Gaiden preview oh shits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64IcaPgZ3Qg
Bad news is, it's time for me to bitch at how much I'm sucking at OGs again!
SO, I decided to finally try the Etheopian route again (apparently it's pretty vital to take this route.) and god dammit I hate this shit with the 3 Rhinos. fighting the Gespensts isn't easy with these Limited units. and what's more, they made the stage harder, if you can survive the normally brutal guantlet, they went and made it harder, putting Enchinda is the Randgrith "Raven" this time around.
And I can get farther if I go to the Moon Route, because they give you better units to work with, but it apparently screws me over later, missing that first Shishioh blade and those particular units missing upgrades.
Man OGs, why do you have to make me not play you.
In other news I'm finally at the final stage (if you don't count the secret one) in OG2, man this game is crazy. I love it. The stage looks nuts, what with all the Regisseurs and all. Good times ahead once I beat down the first wave.
This.
New preview for OG Gaiden.
It looks awesome. The best part is that it looks like they're not just going to recycle the animations from OGs.

Also I feel a need for that ART-1 model like I feel a need for food and drink.

Enjoy!
.....Just let me play 2.5 allready.....How many more times do they want me to go through OG1? how much Money am I going to need to carry over in order to not struggle like this?

Release date is supposedly sometime this spring.
Characters:
Girl with the large....Oh you can guess what: Kaguya Nanbu
Guy in trombe cowboy colors: Harken Browning.
The Lamia lookalike: Not sure the name, but is voiced by Lamia's VA.
Not sure abou the blue haired girl
Some of your pictures don't open, bandwidth something-something, but it could be Kyosuke and Excellen's kids, and then that would just still be Lamia. Maybe, I couldn't see any pictures with her in it. It looks like there's a blue alt-like thing and a red weiss-like thing. So it looks there shall be some delicious ATX-goodness.
Drunks Against Mad Mothers
Man it was funny before, but now it's just kinda sad.
I mean, it just sounds like you're just not very good at these games.
I have no idea if this advice is still relevant but...
Do you have SP regenerate on every character? Do you always keep a repair/resupply unit nearby? (One of the battleships, I use the Hiyru, is good for this)
And finally to you completely abuse the ability to use the HTB Cannon several times in one turn?
But wouldn't they then both have Nanbu as their surname?
