All new games for the 360 and PS3 have always been $60. you're talking about canadian dollars right? probably due to inflation.

At elast one good thing, and I mean 1, not much more out there...

anyways, at least one good thing is that the game industry are never going to raise prices in the US, if that says anything at all about its current ecomony...

well i guess i may wait a while to get gundam 2. if im lucky i'll find a used copy later -_-

that or i may trade a few games in that i dont want.

I got my PS2 version for free, it's pretty good, just some levels are rediculous. I hate the Devil Gundam, seriously, as a boss that thing is impossible. Maybe I should grind a bit with Uso, sad because he's so good at taking out crowds...

Also, lol for Kamille fixing Shinn's emo problem.

[Re4_wesker]

i got around to renting it over the weekend. it's pretty good. i laughed how in heero's story he comes to athrun and kira's rescue. Also i hate mobile armors!!!

I'm ok with EVERY SINGLE OTHER MA, EXCEPT THE DEVIL GUNDAM!!!

WTF!!!


Anyways, Peacecraft's story is hilarious, since now he considers Funnels to be evil and works to eliminate all of them from the battlefield.

Normally ma arent a problem for me. the only time it's a pain is when my teammates keep running up to it and getting clobbered.

I finally came up with a strategy to beating devil gundam. hopefully next time i'll clobber him.

so far i've finished kira's story and heeros. i've been trying to beat char's counterattack as char but his sazabi is ridiculously slow.

Devil Gundam is easy.

Just charge an attack, hit a tentacle and repeat until the tentacle is dead then bash the actual gundam. I never bother waiting for the green arrows to appear around a tentacle, I can kill it a lot faster by ignoring it and just continously charging and attacking, Devil gundam died really quickly.

oh, btw, Turn A is the best gundam in the game, it's 2-person musou (a lot more fun when you get the skill which lets you use 2 persons musou by yourself) is fucking awesome, nukes an entire area and instantly kills everything. Usually waists an ace in 2 shots.

U see when i attack the devil gundam i used to go straight for the main body. that did work alright up until he got to 25% health and he starts to laser spam. thats when i'd go after the tentacles.

Turn A the best? Inconceivable!! Well i'll have to see how lethal the attack is cuz u make sound overkill lol. i'll probably be either loran or master asia next.

[Stargazer]

sound like overkill?

It is overkill.

It's literally a nuke going on, Turn A throws a grenade and everything in a large radius dies, it's nuts.

I used to thing Wing Zero's double beam attack where he detached the guns, shoots and spins in a circle was overkill, but that's shit compared to Turn A's nuke. When I'm playing as char, I only ever use Turn A, nothing else is as good.

nuclear grenades..... ouch.... is amuro still overall the best character as in stats? cuz combining him with the turn a would be true horror.

oh and i love how u can be the cannon fodder units now (even if they do suck). zaku away!!

[Stargazer]

I honestly don't know if Amuro is the best.

I've only got Char at 50, next highest is Zechs at 40, then Glemy at 30 and then Amuro at 23 or so.

I love the fact that the cannon fodder suits are in and suck, it's so gratifying killing Jesus Yamato with a Zaku Tank.

lmao ya i beat haman today with a ball.

and btw when i was playing i did a team special with loran. i saw loran throw a grenade and the entire screen was engulfed in light. seriosly wtf? XD

unfortunately im gonna have to return it soon (since its rented) but i'm gonna have to buy it soon (hopefully this weekend).

so far i got heero at 30, kira at 23, and char at 20. barely had the chance to play it since i rented it so once i get it im gonna focus on heero, zechs, and master asia! (he's just so damn entertaining)

Imagine spamming that attack

great gundam.

[Re4_wesker]

i have to admit i didn't like it that much in the first one. i'll have to test it out when i get the game over the weekened

just managed to unlock glemy. its nice how much gameplay there is for each character. way more then the first. it will be worth the $70-$80.

Btw SG we should have a gundam fight some time .

V is the best for clearing crowds, however Im stuck with him in the Devil Gundam mission, and his suit is barely upgrades, still has a lvl1 torso, so you can see where my troubles are coming from, doesnw help that his specials are terrible against non-moving targets like the Devil...

Turn A is good, I still like my V better, strange that Moonlight Butterfly is weaker than Wings of Victory....... seriously, wtf? it can destroy the earth but it's so slow I can barely hit anything with it?

[Stargazer]

Turn A's better.

just do free missions to level up. thats what i do when i reach a difficult part.

[Dark Lord Revan]

BAck Back Back.

With lots of DW Gundam under my belt.

Anywho, amuro DOES have the best ranged stat. So it does make the Turn A's combination attack ridiculously godly powerful. The single most widespread musou in the whole game...but not good against aces surprisingly. This is because the nuke's damage per target is the same according to the distance from the center of the explosion, but even at the center, the nuke only knocks off about 1/2 the hp off an ace from extra missions ( the ones with highest difficulty and compulsory hard setting), even considering that i have the static shock skill to give extra damage and amuro lvl 50 as a pilot. Id like to point out that its nearly useless in extra missions as no ace will not guard against this at that difficulty setting unless powered down.

Some musuos that beat this (at least in ace killing, nuke definitely wins in the grunt killing department) are all of the quebeley's air musuo (with sniper and ranged specialist pilot) which for some reason is better than even wings of light and moonlight butterfly, S. freedom's combination musuo (yes, im not joking, freedom is really buffed in this game, much as some of us might hate it...again with sniper and ranged specialist pilot, best is kira, since this musuo is primarily ranged but also has melee hence is a good idea to have someone with a god ranged stat and good melee stat).So far the best Melee musuo ive found is musuo gundam mkII, but overall i find melee musuos are quite lacking. All of these are assuming optimal ms parts equipped.

Character rankings...Amuro has best ranged, kira i consider a substitute because he loses to him by one point, minuscule, char surprisingly does not have the best melee or second, though obviously 1st place is shared by master asia and domon. Loran has best defense. Combine with Turn A (best MS in both defense and armor) and the armor gain upgrade to become invincible. Best MS...defense and armor Turn A, ranged is (no joke) S. freedom and haman's quebely, as well as one non-grunt ms, cant remember. I think guncannon. Best melee...God and Master, hands down. Best thruster, puru's quebely. Forgot mobility.

My best MS, in descending order: Quebely (all variants), S. freedom, Turn A, Nu gundam. Reasons, quebely all have excellent air musous, but the real value is in the fast combos, a guard break at charge attk 3 (sadly puru 2's does not have this) and a charge 6 that just about 1hit-ko's aces at close range with penta drive. I still think this is not intentional, but the beams in charge 6 overlap so much that its the most damaging non-musuo attk. Tactic vs aces is...charge 6. Its so powerful its not even funny.

S. freedom for high dmg in all ranged charge attks, room clearing charge 6, guard break at charge 3, awesome air musuo dmg, insane combi musuo dmg. Best tatic with aces equip hexa drive, use charge 5 continue with air combo end with air musou before enemy hits the dirt.

Note that for both quebely and freedom, dont use the ground musou. They just suck in dmg, and quebely's even has tracking problems.

Turn A, for highest def, highest armor, add armor gain to never die again. One of the few Ms that can safely equip DG cells without fear of being 1hit-ko'ed. Moonlight butterfly is nice, but nuke is priceless, get the combi attk always on skill for this. Tactic vs aces, even though its not the best, the nuke musuo is still one of the best. Power down the enemy suit via combos or duel clashing then unload nuke.

Nu gundam, good melee awesome ranged dmg, excellent musuos, but there are other ms i can say the same of. The shiner is charge 6, which at extreme close range will usually 1or2hit-ko an ace, and even if that fails, your invulnerable till u take a certain amt of dmg or run out of time. Awesome.

Best grunt: Ball. No joke.The bane of grunts are aces, so you want an ace killer. The answer is the ball. Melee musou that is one of the best beating even some gundams. Normal melee combo also cannot be recovered out from, so from the first hit, the ace is dead. Equip hard strike, instant hero skill, melee pilot, start melee combo, use musuo on last hit.

i gotta agree. i went on a rampage with the ball the other day and whiped out so many characters.
edit: i just killed a mobile armor with it to actually.

btw any comments on online play yet? i have yet to play online so i'm curious how other people faired with it.

I managed to play a lag free game with a friend, however, the initial connection is bloody buggy. Getting your friend into the room in the first place is a nightmare, the game's servers suck. Speaking of suck, there are few options for server selection too, basically u can connect with friends, connect with your country (which cant even be selected by you, its defaulted to your PSN acc) or try to connect worldwide. I assume that koei guess right and predicted that few ppl are interested in online play, hence a 'search worldwide' feature.

I have no idea how 360 version works though. I imagine its much the same.

it's probably similar. i wish that they had a co-op online mission mode. that would be sweet. i've got a couple of friends that like playing 2 player with me and playing it online would be very helpful.

i love how characters have different costumes that you can switch between. for example, milliardo has a zechs costume (that wears the mask) that you can switch between.

edit: i love how master asia recruits shinn asuka and makes him train in master asia's story. maybe he'll beat some of the stupidity out of him.
