So to use Nu Gundam for an example:Shadow780 said:
His X,X,X,Y Funnel Attacks would be C4, correct? When it comes to the different parts for increasing charge attack power, I'm currently using Delta Drive, because for the past three games now, I thought that it would be C3.
I now want to go back to DW:G2 and change some of the equipment I have on some of my MS's.
I run Heat Field skill on all characters, and Magnetic Field on characters with huge AoE characters. The last one I run is either Impulse (haven't seen the effects of this one really) and Hyper Tension (so good).Shadow780 said:
Yes, C1 is just pressing triangle, so just so C2 would be X Y, C3 would be X X Y etc. I always get square drive because that enhances charge attack 4, which is the one you'll be doing when you dash cancel I think.

Some of the missions are just a joke, finishing them in 2 minutes and less for the story and even the other missions. The game makes me feel way too overleveled and powerful. Saving up for the special attack to be at 3 and then unleashing the Trans-AM to completely destroy the "boss", wow.
I dislike the giant mobile suits. Even if I finish them in five minutes or so, they are just annoying, especially when other Ace Pilots are on the field.
Heero seems like a cool character from whatever series he is in. Awesome character design.

Yeah I think it's been labeled that way since DW2, I don't have the manual of that game anymore but it stuck with me.

I guess I'll start knocking down some memorial missions to unlock those. I hate having to purchase skills for each characters individually.

Shadow780 said:
Better than randomly unlocking them with each character individually like in the previous game.
Well, not for ME, because I loved the grind in the last game. But in general.

For the pilots, I generally use final sacrifice (health pickups don't work, but big boost in attack), beginner's aid (no blocking but big boost in attack), and switch between ace killer, magnetic, and little giant. For the suits, I'll use long range, speedster/hard strike/smash hit (on hard), and armor gain.Shadow780 said:
I almost always run Magnetic, though I guess it's more useful on some suits than others, you just need to test it out to see what it's really good on. (Raiser, Justice, etc.). I also like Blast Strike, and Heat Up is good if you can juggle aces well. I still don't know what Impulse does, and Hyper Tension is good for people with already good supers or people who build it fast enough.
lol I haven't even see the first two, I'd totally pick beginner's aid though. Does armor gain only recover purple bar, or can you fill yourself up to full using it?

Armor gain fills up the entire bar, not just the recoverable health. Final sacrifice is gained from getting Treize up to level 5 and Beginner's aid will come when you beat Amuro's and Char's 0079 history missions. Those two skills give you a huuuuge attack boost.Ultimoo said:

Shadow780 said:
I don't believe so. I used Hyaku Shiki two or three times offline, then four or five times online, and it's license still wasn't available in the shop until I used it a few more times offline. That leads me to believe that online and offline are completely separate.
Starting to get some Rank 4 suits now. Holy damn are they powerful. Almost makes me wish there were a higher difficulty than Hard. I've already been playing on Hard for the majority of the time with Rank 3 suits anyway. Only time I ever get in trouble is if I get ganged up on by multiple Aces. And even then I'd say I've probably only failed five or so missions thus far.
Also, Tallgeese is awesome. As is Turn X. Absolutely love using Shining Finger with Turn X.

Ultimoo said:
I think it has something to do with friendship levels maybe? And maybe also story mission completion. I don't know, the game doesn't do a lot to explain that part. I know I've got a few open though (the original MS Gundam and Turn A).

What do you have against the greatest space vehicle that the Federation has?Shadow780 said:

Online missions only count toward the total overall kill count memorial missions. History missions open up generally when you get a character to a certain friendship level and after beating certain history missions.Shadow780 said:
For example, Gato, Ranba Ral, Dozle, and M'Quve need to be at least lvl 4 friendship to unlock this Zeon history level... bleh.
This is the first DW game I've invested a decent amount of time into and even though there isn't much to the mission variety, and it is repetitive, it's definitely not boring.Xater said:
Because all the other video games scoring 9+ aren't just wearing out the right trigger shooting, left stick for sprinting, and right stick for melee.
Well, this is the first IGN review I've read in a few years and I think it will be my last.

Finally almost done with Setsuna at level 43. I will be so glad to switch pilots for the other missions. Im glad most missions taken 5-7min to finish, really enjoyable timing.
I'm still trying to unlock the last (or at least, I hope it's the last...) history mission in the Z set and it requires lvl 5 with Kamille, Scirocco and Haman... afaik completing Z is required to unlock most of the other sets toodonkey show said:
I know they can get to lvl 4 fast enough by using them as partners, but does that apply to lvl 5 too or do I need to complete their relationship missions for that?

You have to beat their relationship missions to get them to level 5.Lumiere said:I'm still trying to unlock the last (or at least, I hope it's the last...) history mission in the Z set and it requires lvl 5 with Kamille, Scirocco and Haman... afaik completing Z is required to unlock most of the other sets too

We dont actually need to play on normal or difficult difficulty to unlock anything or get a trophy right? Ive been having to resort to "easy" mode on 7 Star and greater missions. I hate how Ace pilots want to team up on me when Im also facing the boss usually without the help of my partners.
Seraphis Cain

Dedication Through Light said:
I don't think so. I've had to resort to Easy when I've been forced to use awful suits like Char's Z'Gok and Zeong myself. I don't think it makes a difference.

IGN has musou games on their personal hit list. Every review is ridiculous shit - Samurai Warriors 3, Sengoku Basara 3, etc etc
It seems as if they've made an editorial decision to claim that the genre itself is unworthy of existing, so they're going to assassinate every game that comes through the office.
It reminds me how way back in the day, the original version of Daily Radar (I think it was?) literally had a mandate against 2D games. Their staff trashed any 2D fighting game under the notion "WHY WE STILL GOT SPRITES" now that we had awesome polygon graphics.

Been playing Gundam Musou 3 at my friend's place. Great game, but god damn is the menu system the most impenetrable, confusing thing on the planet. I honestly STILL haven't figured out how to look at the stats of mechs I currently have.
Are ALL plans you pick up going to be better than the one you're currently using? If not, how the hell do I know if it's good?

The menu is a mess, I fully agree. Here's one way I found:
Select a new plan to develop, then at the screen where it asks you to pick a slot, hover over an existing machine in your set of four. You should see red numbers showing how much weaker the existing machine is, compared to the plan you wish to overwrite it with.
Lack of a comprehensible database is the single weaknest part of the game imho.

Some one mentioned this in the SA thread but as I was going through Those Who doubt.
And damn, Scirocco is such a ladies man. The entire campaign is just him gathering every single female character from every series under his wing.

Also, the total inability to check pilot stats outside of a mission is a big oversight, too. I sometimes have no idea which 2nd player pilots have skills and which don't.Kaijima said:
They've made some vast improvements to the mission structure, and the inclusion of a battle gauge makes the game far less frustrating, but GOD DAMMIT is the menu system horrific.
I had another question: When we were playing, we were running out of story missions to do. Characters would have 3 missions (one of which you wouldn't even play as that character), and then no more would unlock. We had to keep changing characters to find missions to do.
What's the deal with that? What are we doing wrong?
What I always find hilarious about that is the fact that Scirocco looks OBVIOUSLY EVIL. JUST LOOK AT THE GUY! THE MAN IS OBVIOUSLY A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING!Lostconfused said:

thetrin said:
AFAIK the characters are grouped into 4 categories for the story that you see labeled on the pilot select screen, and you have to jump around between these 4, to keep unlocking new pilots and continue the story. Similar with history missions.
For instance I played all six of Amuro Ray's Mobile Suit Gundam history missions, but didn't get the missions for the next series as I next had to play some missions from Zeon's perspective. But to get Char I had to go back and play some story missions using characters from the "bad guys" chapter of the story.
Also, from the Eurogamer review:
"They all look the same, so they say. Blindness to nuance and personality in the face of the unfamiliar has always been the bigot's way, and how many gamers are guilty of the same when looking to Koei's Dynasty Warriors series? "There's no real challenge," they argue, setting the difficulty to easy and switching off after an hour. "You simply mash the buttons to trigger an apocalypse of fireworks," they explain, ignoring the capacity for skill beneath the pyrotechnics."
Gawddamn, that reviewer came out swinging at almost every other western Musou review.

Finally unlocked Haman as a pilot.
I will always play as her unless the game forces me to pick somebody else.

I'll use Lunamaria as a pilot after I get done with those who doubt chapter. At least in the games she can kick ass like she deserved but never got to in the anime.PepsimanVsJoe said:

Did not expect such a review from Eurogamer at all. Maybe we found someone besides Jim Sterling who actually plays these games?

Heero's friendship mission is terrible...Defeat 1000 enemy mobile suits in order for Setsuna to appear on the boss zone, and Heero's Gundam is rather weak too. Never again.

Really? I did another mission that had me kill 1,000 enemies, and it barely took 5-6 minutes. And Heero's suit, weak? Wing Gundam Zero has one of the best crowd-clearing SP attacks in the game.

I guess because I only had the initial rank 1 plan for his Gundam. (the prize for the mission seemed to be a rank 3 suit)
