    Yeah, I fully expected to crash when I hit the water. I was merely "severely damaged". And then it fixed itself after a while! I may have to start out in "ace" mode... Don't have it, but I presume others have tried it--haven't seen anyone say it does work yet. Maybe the finished product will have more compatability built-in.

    Doesn't seem to work with ANY flight stick. Anyways---I think (and hope) that the demo level isn't very representative of the game's missions overall. It's ULTRA-scripted. It is basically a tutorial, every second of it--most of it focusing on how to use the close-range attacks. "Enemy #4" will NOT die until you go past the 2nd set of cranes (and you WILL go past the cranes when fighting him, even if you started 30 miles away from them). Also, most enemies are "aces" and will only go down using the close-quarters whatever. (I had the same issue with AC6---the first level was so scripted that once you knew what you were doing at all, it seemed a hindrance because you couldn't just do stuff the way you wanted---this is more so) In short---do exactly what the demo says. It really is just a tutorial, and it's not going to let you do anything else. If it says turn left---don't bother doing anything else. Same for "engaging enemy group 2 from behind with XAAM's". Again--I assume/hope that all the other missions are more "open-minded" and you can pretty much kill enemies how you feel/want, with only the occasional uber-ace *requiring* that you get in ultra-close to gun him down. Stuff to experiment with/info gathered from forums: When in-close, guns seem to slow the enemy down to let you get even closer. Distance=lock-on time for missiles. Thus, guns are a means to get more missile shots in by decreasing range (and thus lock-on time), not so much for doing damage.

    The same way most current 3D movies are (not many are filmed in 3D, despite many being released as such).

    Even the much-vaunted 1/72 kit's legs are too low in fighter mode, if you go by how the nacelles meet up with the wings----look from above. The new DX is the only one that matches the animation/CG model in that area.

    I always think the "no random battles" thing in the Chrono series is highly-overrated. Is "many frequent known-in advance" battles really any less irritating than "many frequent unknown" battles? You fight the same amount of enemies, the same way, at the same general time. You just have 5 secs warning now. IMHO, it's never been the "random" aspect of jRPG battles that tends to get annoying/boring/grinding, but the "zillion, frequent" aspect. And that's no different in the Chrono series than say FF or DQ.

    As a big Virtual On fan, I may have to get Gundam Extreme Vs. Though it will heavily depend on exactly which suits are available.

    Has a VF-11D that wasn't Jamming Birds ever been depicted?
  8. David Hingtgen
    CCCP. Install it, and it alone.

    What species was the duelist? Seemed awfully "human", asides from coloring.

    A couple months late, but I finally took some pics in jet mode of my finished MP Thundercracker G1-repaint. Here's the best one I think:

    Isn't Riker's ship fan-made? (but "officially sanctioned/chosen by Paramount from the entries they got in a contest")
  12. David Hingtgen
    F-22 still grounded as of Hurricane Irene, haven't heard anything since. (they were given a one-time flight exemption to evacuate them from the east coast)
  13. David Hingtgen
    Quite a few new pics lately. Including this one:

    Strange that such a major guest character never got a single name/description. (cat lady--we aren't even told what species she is, and it's not obvious---most all of them have a black color morph---interesting that she's tailed like Panthro) Having Cree Summer as the voice is always a big plus.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Galaxy+Miranda=Nebula=Awesome.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Well, the "real" VF-19F/S always struck me as "royal" blue. Deeper than Max's VF-1J (much deeper than his -22), but not as dark as Guld's -21.

    The artwork from a few weeks ago looked more like Liara IMHO---the face, while anime-ized, was still Liara. The actual sculpt is less so.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Mine's for sale!

    Hmmmn. That kit is beyond my skills so I'd have to pay $$$$$ for a commission job, and I'm not big on "off-model" kits. She's not WAY off like a Yujin/SRDX kit, but that's definitely an exaggerated "not quite how she looks" version. If I were to spend that kind of money, it'd have to be for a flightsuit version.

    When would YOU have ejected? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI4SZYqZs2E&feature=player_embedded

    Final Fantasy II is awful. I have tried, and tried, and tried, on multiple systems to at least finish it. I just can't. Furthest I got was the Tower Of Mysidia (I think). In there, is an enemy that likes to cast "confuse-all" a lot. Well, you usually die (slowly), because that's about the only thing it ever casts. You just sit there for 5 mins watching your party slowly kill itself. And there is no consumable item that gets rid of confuse, and no equippable item to prevent it. The only solution is the Esuna spell. I would need Esuna, *level 6* to cure confuse. Well, that's 2400 castings to get all 4 people to know it at level 6. I said "forget it" and have never played since. Even with cheating/abuse, the levelling system is just game-killing. (and I spent hours cheating one time, and I *still* couldn't get past some section). What is the completion time on FF2j? 700 hours?

    Because it's the best game ever. To all nay-sayers---yes, Xenogears is unfinished, with Disc 2 mainly comprised of text narration and still pics of what you should have been allowed to play. But even with a huge chunk of the game missing, it's still THAT good. I'd love to play Xenoblade, but don't plan to buy and hack a Wii just for it. Xenoblade and Mario Galaxy are about the only games I've truly wanted to play on that system.
  23. David Hingtgen
    That was my first thought, too.
  24. David Hingtgen
    No, because that's not G2 Prime. That's LASER Optimus Prime, which was from G2. But "G2 Optimus Prime" is basically a repaint of G1 Prime. With a little sound box added on to the trailer. (we started talking about batteries, then G2 Prime's box, and now G2 Prime's articulation)

    But---a Sonic Rainboom would be like Akuma's Instant Hell Murder. No one else could come close.
