    I swear they'd sometimes randomly change the timing. I could do 100+ in a row--then miss like 20 or 30 in a row (for the SAME attack)--I'd just have to quit and take a break/reset, because it's hard to keep battling in an RPG when every attack fails. Plus some of them were just really, really picky. Spear. Damn spear. Love the soundtrack, especially the boss music. I own the OST. (yes, a real actual copy of the actual official CD soundtrack) Annoyingly the battle music doesn't loop at all.

    In the end "newer is better". Regardless of grade.

    "Time" makes a bigger difference than grade IMHO. There's a whole lot of RG and even HG that seem to surpass many MG. And there's MG's arguably better than PG's. Really it's more "size" than complexity/articulation/accuracy, when it comes to grades, IMHO. Nowadays, at least.
  5. David Hingtgen
    Umm, wrong. I can easily clearly tell DVD vs Blu-Ray on my 32in and the difference is worth every penny.
  6. David Hingtgen
    I would say a good chunk of it is due to not actually being able to develop a new shape independently. YF-23 is stealthier, but no one seems to copy it that closely...
  7. David Hingtgen
    RG Gouf *Custom* please. Also---RG Zeta Strike or Zeta Plus A1 or White Zeta 3. (yes, I had to wiki a few designations to get them right--there's SOOOO many Zetas out there)
  8. David Hingtgen
    That's my concern as well. There's "stretching out a novel" but I never imagined they'd make a trilogy out of it, even using every other source possible to fill out bits.
  9. David Hingtgen
    If the rear bumper bits could rotate to the side and then upwards along the inside of the legs, that'd both cover up the gap and remove the impediment to ankle motion.

    My point was that CCA is a very small investment in time/effort. Even if you don't like it much, it's fairly important and doesn't take much time to see. Whereas Zeta takes quite a while to watch.
  11. David Hingtgen
    A Max or Milia version could be nice. (and they wouldn't look a day older than in M7) Hmmn, Mylene version....

    ?? "MP Sideswipe's cheap plastic tires" could be a thread unto itself at most of the TF forums. Plus his hollow legs. (though the tires get WAY more comments, and frankly I agree--I want my rubber!)
  13. David Hingtgen
    Watch Zeta, or at least the movies of it. And there's no reason not to watch CCA, as it's just the single OVA. 0080 is rather "stand-alone" but it's really good IMHO and worth watching just for "filling out the era/universe". 0083--never liked it.
  14. David Hingtgen
    How is the BF kit? (I still want a Genosaurer more than anything, but there's just too many issues with it, even the revised version--it definitely suffers from being an early attempt)
  15. David Hingtgen
    If they weren't trying to be accurate, then how come they are rivet-by-rivet and panel-by-panel correct in so many other areas? Kind of a "forest for the trees" thing. As I mentioned before---detailing the F-16's upper fuselage like that sure would have taken more than 5 mins of effort, likely many hours of CAD/research etc. So why go through all that effort for accuracy, if the overall shape is going to be so very wrong with no attention paid to it? The Blackbird has just about every single RAM-wedge present--that's zillions of lines molded in. If they didn't care, they would have just ignored them. Anyways----mmmmmmmmnnnn: ::edit:: Gah, I just ruined it for myself. Those aren't Divebomb's wings on the back of Predaking. It's a massive amount of parts-forming/parts-replacement.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Why base them on real planes if you're going to totally screw up some of the most defining characteristics for no reason at all? (most of the issues are on parts that don't touch anything, house anything, etc---there's plenty of room etc for them to be shaped 100% correctly) It started with Phantom having the nose of a Skyhawk, and has just progressed from there. Also--the G1 versions had more accurate alt-modes overall. Sad but true at this point. Adding in the structural access panel holes of an F-16's upper skin is more than negated by getting overall shape of said upper skin completely wrong. I expect more with 25 years of waiting/advancements. Like maybe asking TFC to look at head-on views, and not rely solely on overhead views... What if MP Sideswipe had the rear spoiler of a Diablo? The fan-rage would be unfathomable, and there'd be NO reason for it to be wrong--it's not part of the transformation, and doesn't tuck away inside etc--it just sits there in both modes. Similar issues for most of the Uranos team.

    Clear pics of the jet modes were posted days ago. They look like crap, far inferior to the F-4 and F-15. The Harrier is like an over-sized Harrier II wing on a Jaguar body with a Sea Harrier nose. And that does mean it has a Jaguar's twin rear nozzles. (you really can't see the area well, but something is VERY VERY VERY wrong there) The F-16 is just pathetic. I never knew the F-16 had a flat-topped fuselage with the wings mounted right on top and a rear fuselage twice as wide as the engine itself. PS---I think they made the Harrier so that the wings cannot angle downwards, they go straight out sideways. Which is very un-Harrier-like:

    Dang it, you beat me by seconds. ::edit:: Several distinctive real-world identifiable buildings in there, not that good an effort for a "future city". I'll let others make the comparison/blatant ripoff comments of the overall design.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Does this pic not confirm that at least some of the conformal missiles are removable? (left arm/nacelle, outboard) (or was that noted before and I just missed it)
  20. David Hingtgen
    Episode 7 I think, the beach resort one.
  21. David Hingtgen
    For my PS3, if I hear the fans go into "high" then it's definitely time to stop playing. Many games never trigger this, even after several hours. But MGS4 sure will, and most of the A. Creed series.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Not-Skydive is an F-16 but I can't tell Slingshot from the teaser pic.
  23. David Hingtgen
    And upgraded sonar for tracking marine life so the "tourists" can get a heads-up on where to look...
  24. David Hingtgen
    That's my fave version of Zeta by far. Still haven't built my MG kit of it though...
  25. David Hingtgen
    Sea blue is basically the same color as insignia blue. Ever so slightly greyer IMHO. But they are very close.
