Well, that was King Kong vs Godzilla. Or was it the other way around? I cannot remember.

It's a little bit confusing.

King Kong vs Godzilla refers to the 1962 original.

Godzilla vs Kong refers to the 2021 rematch.

This is not the first time Godzilla movies have had very similar names. See: Mothra vs Godzilla (1963) and Godzilla vs Mothra (1992). Or how about Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla (1974), Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla 2 (1993), and Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla (2002). The movies i just mentioned have nothing to do with each other outside of featuring the Kaiju in the names.

And if we wanna go even further, the Americanized version of the original Godzilla was titled Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which was the exact same title they'd end up using for the 2019 film.

Anyway, I am pleased to inform that the spoiler did absolutely nothing. Either Armagon wasn't entirely forthcoming or I forgot parts of it, because the movie went in a way that I was not expecting. Either way, I'm happy.

Well i gave you the sparknotes version, didn't actually go into the details.

Very glad you enjoyed it tho.

Becuase my youtube feed has been getting spammed with ''All endings'' memes, i did something...

As far as i'm concerned, Kaga Ending and Kaga Returns Ending are both the bad ending.

While not always a rule, general trend is that Super Robots = tanks, Real Robots = dodge-tanks. Granteed is a Super Robot, so try to focus on that.

The fact that there are Real Robots implies the existence of Fake Robots.

It was not a good idea to let me do this.

There we go, bunch of oddly specific jokes that the man who got me into this won't even get. Perfect.

It's more Real(istic). You know, stuff like Gundam, where they try to ground themselves in trying to keep things, well, realistic. Both in terms of storyline and how the mechas work.

In contrast to Super Robots shows, where they go to town on super sciency stuff and the like. Like Mazinger.

It's not a strict rule, but it's a trend.

Oh ok i get it now. So like, the EVAs would be "Super Robots" while.......you know, i'm not that versed in Mecha franchises so i can't think of another Real Robot example aside from Gundam.

One thing to keep in mind is that when it comes to SRW, their gameplay roles also are defined under Super/Real. Tanks and Dodge-tanks. Since they go hand in hand for the most part.

EVAs, strictly speaking, are neither in the definition sense. In the gameplay sense...

Alright but MechaGodzilla is definitely a Super type.

People complain about Berwick Saga being confusing, but this? This is on an entirely different level. The HUD is littered with numbers and names and I have no idea what any of them are supposed to do or convey, because the game hasn't told me anything. It just tossed me into the action, made me one-shot a bunch of robots and left it at that. I suppose I could read a guide, but you'll have to forgive me for liking it best when games teach me their mechanics by themselves.

What I'm trying to say is, tomorrow I'll keep playing at least a little bit. The game deserves its fair chance. But, well... Hate me if you must, Acacia - I am thoroughly unimpressed so far.

The combat animations, though. Now that's some good shit, right there. This much I will say.

Also, because I'll admit I'm a bit pissy about the whole "yeah Ruben doesn't like story games" bit - You know, I think the problem is not that Ruben is too big dumb for story games, but rather the manner of story that's being told here. Now, don't get me wrong, please, before you all start screaming obscenities at me; I am NOT saying this story is bad or anything like that. If there's anything objectionable I would point out, it's that it introduces too many things and characters too quickly, but beyond that it seems perfectly fine.

It's just that, when I think back to all of my favorite games that are more story-heavy, or at least that I prefered for their story... Stuff like Omori, Banner Saga, Return of the Obra Dinn, you could count Papers Please too... Or even the few shows that I've watched and can say I would put above the rest! Well, it's not like this. I think I just generally don't enjoy stories like this. And, hey, I think I've a right to that.

...I hope this post won't generate too much controversy.

Thanks! I'm glad too. The beginning was a bit slow, because they had to introduce all the human idiots, but as soon as the action properly started it became really fun.

You just couldn't leave it at that, could you. You just had to break all the positivity and make me hate you again.

SRW J was made when games still expected you to learn from their instruction manuals. So that one is understandable since you're not getting that if you emulate it.

Of course. I'll take a quick look through the guide you sent me tomorrow, and see if that helps.

The wiki itself won't tell you how to play, though. It has databases for stuff that is in-game, but also stuff that isn't, so it's still worth checking it out.

Anyway, if you truly get lost, just ask me. I do know how to play these games, after all.

All right. Thanks. I was okay in the first battle because everything died in two shots, but I imagine I might run into problems down the line.

Yep, that is how it usually goes.

I'm not someone who's gonna go "the humans don't matter" but this franchise isn't known for it's well written human plots, even if i think some human plots in these movies are better than they are usually given credit. Though i am actually expecting decent character writing from Singular Point since that's a TV series and as such, there's more time for development and so far, it's working.

King Kong movies generally have better humans tho since those movies focus more on the emotional aspect and aren't as much of a spectacle.

Well yeah, you can be a story game without having a story that would take up five books. Having a focus on the story can be done without massive plot dumps. Case and point: every game that I like.
