    The whole "combat on rails" vibe of encounters in space is only when doing certain story missions because its taking you on a plot journey.
    Other modes have more open movement and it flows and feels great when you get past the awkwardness of the control scheme.

    • @KinzieK
      @KinzieK  2 роки тому +3

      I'm not gonna lie to you, if a game is awkward to play at first, it's highly unlikely I'll keep going, especially if it's first impressions.
      Also, for entertainment purposes, I can't take too long playing a game if I'm covering multiples like this.

      Bro I spend alot of my time with my cousin playing Rengou vs Zaft II Plus. And also Rengou vs Zaft PSP ver too. The story mode is great and there's a lot of mobile suit Cosmic Era to choose when playing free play mode. Rengou vs Zaft is my first gundam game I spend a lot and then I started playing Extreme Vs Full Boost instead.

    wake up babe, new kinzie vid.
    I'm glad someone else enjoyed federation vs zeon, that was second gundam game right after jarburo. Speaking of, looking back at it now i'm amazed how bad that game controlled. sure it was during the time when twinstick movenment was still new to games but still.. the game was weirdly coded and the controls only compounded that. it's also super weird how encounters in space and never ending tomorrow someone control WORSE than that... man early 2000s game dev is a helluva drug.
    also, i will continue to hound you for that crossfire vid until the heat death of the universe.

    I know reviews are subjective and it seems like you lean more towards funny but man you did NOT give Encounters in Space a fair shake, that game has so much content, and if you get good at it and get higher scores, you unlock branching paths that give you different cutscenes and secret bosses.

      As much as I understand you (and others that have told me the same thing) none of that addresses the fact that I didn't like how the game played from the beginning, so I moved on. Could I have been nicer about it? Sure, but at this point, everyone already knows what's good about it past the point I made it, so the only thing left is my opinion, which is what's in the video. I'm sure there's plenty of people on the site that have said "Encounters good" but that isn't my impression.

    Zeonic Front has my favorite single player of the games you reviewed, and I played them all other then the SEED game. I love Seed's setting, ships, and some of its mobile suits but I hate the protagonist . But Federation vs Zeon is my favorite overall because it is probably the PS2 game I spent the most time playing multiplayer, and I prefer its campaign structure to that used in Gundam vs Zeta Gundam.

    If you ever get the chance I strongly recommend Lost War Chronicles. It takes the basic gameplay style of Journey to Jaburo and perfects it. Everything is more responsive, the camera doesn’t lose track of the enemy every five seconds, it gets rid of the limited ammo system, you can quick switch between targets, and there’s so many other quality of life features it adds. I played JtJ and LWC back to back and it’s insane to me that we never got LWC in the west, because it is literally just JtJ but actually good.

    Technically you missed Gundam Battle Assault 3 "Featuring" Gundam Seed and MS Saga: A New Dawn. I can not think of any other Gundam PS2 games that were translated to English though. Japan got a lot more though. Including more Vs games including some Gundam Seed vs Game. MS Saga is kind of a hidden Gundam game has Gundam isn't even included on the title. MS as in Mobile Suit Saga. Basically if you've ever played a Metal Max or Metal Saga game, MS Saga is basically a Gundam version of those.
    Personally my absolute favorite Gundam games are in order:
    Mobile Suit Gundam Battlefield Record U.C. 0081 (PS3 Japanese Exclusive, had to Import it basically a better Gundam Crossfire which dumbs down realism for more speed/action and loved it)
    Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story Rise from Ashes (Dreamcast, closest thing to a proper Gundam Simulator that has ever existed, and has an believable story)
    Mobile Suit Gundam Federation vs Zeon (PS2 because of course everyone loves it)
    Mobile Suit Gundam Zeonic Front (PS2 basically Rainbow 6 Gundam, and I mean OG Rainbow Six before they became shooters)
    Mobile Suit Gundam Gundam vs Zeta Gundam. (Federation vs Zeon 2.0, and generally better, but lacks some of the charm so I didn't like it as much)

      @@KinzieK You did? I will have to check them out I guess.
      Everyone talks about Federation vs Zeon, but Gundam vs Zeta Gundam is kind of not often talked about. I guess because it's the sibling of the "original" vs game but not the first? The middle child you can say. I viewed Gundam vs Zeta Gundam like a huge expansion of the first game, all the suits from the first game were present as well as many of the maps, in addition to the massive amount of Zeta Gundam and even some ZZ content in the game. Hence why I said it's arguably better than the original but as I said, it doesn't have the same charm, but if you're just in it for the fighting/battles, not the music, presentation, etc it's definitely a better game than the original.
      Tragically for good or bad alot of Gundam games never made it outside of Japan. Lost War Chronicles was made by the same people who made Journey to Jaburo. So you can likely say the negative reception to that game killed any chance of it releasing in NA. Lost War Chronicles was well received in Japan. Lost War Chronicles kind of can be summed up as being what Journey to Jaburo should of been. You can tell they took that game's foundation and actually made a better game out of it. Has a very large library of mechs to use as well. You can tell they originally planned on the game getting an NA release as nearly every aspect of the game but voiced dialogue is in English.
      Interesting part about Journey to Jaburo and Lost War Chronicles, I think they're the only Gundam games that you can see human beings on the ground in some missions. At least to my knowledge. Excluding Gundam Battle Operations 1 and 2 of course as the players are people. Then again, Universal Century Gundam Online as well, but that is a whole other can of warms right there.
      What I find weird is the Verses games got generally positive reviews, and feed back from players as well, yet none of the Seed verses games made it to NA yet..... YET.. we got Never Ending Tomorrow and Battle Assault 3, both I found terrible.
      Gundam Seed Vs Zaft II Plus actually looked like fun. I bet the licensing issue with all the music from Seed was a big factor. If I recall and I maybe wrong Never Ending Tomorrow had much of it's OST cut in the NA version. So I can imagine how much of the music from Seed Destiny would of been cut from that game. Which would of really hurt it personally because the pop music from Seed/Destiny was stellar.

    It's cool to see fresh eyes on this old lineup after so long. Feels like no one gives these the time of day anymore. That said, _I'mma call out your bs_ (not really):
    Feddy vs. Zeon:
    "Solid" is basically how I'd describe it, yeah. Older me wouldn't get much out of it other than a nostalgia trip, but younger me? I was dreaming up battle scenarios against AI in my head *all the damn time.* I got my money's worth out of it and then some, fueled by childhood imagination. Also, yes, that intro is 😩👌.
    Zeonic Front:
    Huh, surprised you didn't like this one. It's basically Gundam's take on old Rainbow Six, which is understandably a niche form of real-time strategy that not everyone is gonna click with. I personally loved it since, despite it slower nature, it fits the game's overall design. The character dialogue tucked away in the briefing screens is also real juicy and helped me like Zeon lore that much more.
    (Everyone knows Mission 06 is the worst gameplay level ever, though, even thought it makes sense lore-wise)
    Gundam vs. Zeta:
    I unfortunately missed this one. Looking back on it, though, I feel like it'd give me a similar experience to Feddy vs. Zeon, only way better. I may go back to fill in that gap someday, but idk, FvZ sated that itch for a lifetime.
    Encounters in Space:
    Wait, really, you don't like this?? R1/R2 for vertical control is jank, I'll give you that, but I consider this one of their best entries because of how fast, intense, and free-flowing it is (when not on-rails, anyway). This and Rez are my main reasons why I enjoy rail shooters, so this is surprising. Wish you went into more why it rubbed you the wrong way.
    Journey to Jaburo:
    Yeah, this just sucks.
    Never Ending Tomorrow:
    Never heard of this one. I'm glad I didn't. Even as someone who loves Encounters, this looks like some bastardized mockery of it. This comment would be a dissertation if I tried explaining what I saw wrong with it from your clips.
    You missed Battle Assault 3, btw. It's a jank and memey attempt at a 3D fighter, but the audiovisuals and soundtrack give it IMMACULATE vibes; I still listen to the OST to this day. Way too much time spent in that game, man. MS Saga is another one, but that deserves its own video. There's... a lot to unpack, both good and bad.
    Anyway, looking forward to Crossfire! I never played it, but it seems I wasn't missing much, lmfao.

I really gave it an honest shot going through the tutorial but I could just never get used to it, so really, that IS how deep it really gets with me lol. Also, i did give MS Saga it's own video. I linked it as it's own video at the end.

    I forgot about that Zeta Gundam game. I never came across it in stores and never got to play it, but I'm glad to hear it was better than Encounters in Space. Journey to Jaburo becomes more enjoyable after beating the game, once you get a feel for all the quirks of the clunkliness. I used to play it so much going for S+ in every suit and just leisure. It's too bad we never got Lost War Chronicles. Zeonic Front should be my favorite, but the Dom changes it from challenging to winning before you know it, reducing the replay value when the matches don't have that back-and-forth like Jaburo battles have. Wish I had Federation vs Zeon, it was fun for the few times I played it.

    I actually got good at Journey to Jaburo and beat it when I was in middle school.
    It's back when controls in game aren't always smooth. (tank control in Resident Evil)

    Played all of these games except for Zeonic Front and Journey to Jaburo.
    Encounters in Space I thought was a pretty awesome game when you get used to the controls. Machines move pretty fast and the multi lock-on was pretty neat. It's also story-wise one of the more expansive action games since it has episodes dedicated to multiple pilots across MSV, Stardust Memory and even Blue Destiny. Fun fact though, this gameplay style is actually something they already did on the PS1 with Char's Counterattack. But if you've heard/played a game called Omega Boost, think of it like that
    Something to point out regarding the first two Gundam VS games. The first one has Deluxe in it because it's an updated port of the original arcade version. It added zero gravity levels as well as the additional two units for the Federation side, the Gundam Ground Type and the GM Ground Type. Also, the song that plays in that intro stage is Ai no Senshi, it's one of the theme songs from the Gundam movie trilogy.
    Gundam VS Zeta Gundam's big change was introduced alongside the gimmick of the mobile suits of that series; alt modes. Nearly all of the units in the game can transform into a high-speed flight mode that gives them a major advantage over the other suits that can't. Like FVZ, GVZ added new content to the PS2 version, namely the unlockable ZZ mode which nets you the titular ZZ Gundam, and Qubeley Mk II alongside their pilots and the theme song Anime ja Nai. Its story mode is also a point of interest because aside from following the source material, it also lets you do what-if scenarios where you get different paths and endings based on who died or lived at that point, like what if Four survived,or if Amuro joined the Titans.
    Never Ending Tomorrow was....yeah, a bit rough. I feel like it should have been a way flashier version of Encounters in Space, but for whatever reason, they made the melee combat system such a slog where it plays more like a rock-paper-scissors RPG as opposed to a hack-n-slash kind of thing. This is also the only time any of the Astray characters get an English dub

    I recall there was a Gundam RPG on PS2 which was surprisingly well made. It was the first game that I'm aware of that you can mix body parts and weapons from tons of units making for a real deep game, though the RPG engine is ultimately flawed.

    Unfortunately, X Play which is a game review show from back then and recently came back, they hated Anime and their games. They admitted that Gundam, Dragon Ball, Naruto, and Anime in general sucks because in their eyes the stories made no sense. They literally called fans idiots for liking Anime and their games.

    There was over 10 Gundam games released for the PS2 in just the first 4 years alone, with only a few making a appearance on the GameCube. I hate modern gaming with a passion

    You missed Battle Assault 3 featuring Gundam SEED.
    Also, I liked Encounters in Space so I tolerated Neverending Tomorrow but, another frustrating fact about it: the Japanese version actually uses music from the anime but they didn't want to pay to license it for the U.S. release so instead it's filled with a bunch of generic, non-anime music from older Gundam games. Also, even though it features ground based level, no one has a walk/run animation except Strike, and only on the first mission of the story mode.

    Vs. series was and is the pinnacle in entirety of Gundam games because the mechanics stayed the same and that's one solid balancing and was geared towards, well, players versus. PSP's Battle series was a mixed bag, but those eventually turned to Breaker in a way, so they paved their proper way over the years. All other, unique to these formulas, titles were overall meh if not jank right up until Battle Operation series.
