Message: [QUOTE="Karaswinglet, post: 179978, member: 1623"] I've been a SRW fan since the SNES days and SRW4 was my first one. Sadly, I never went that far due to the language bars and the difficulty to find a proper guide at the time. I tried many SRW on multiple platforms and we especially played a lot of Alpha 2, due to it having a lot of mecha we loved. Still I never finished one due to, sometime the language barrier, some other time the complexity, some other time just commitment. I never managed to find the GBA OG games too, sadly. I was actually more excited to play OG more than the crossover games. As much as I like the main games I was fascinated by the possibility to use completely original mechs, not to mention a unique storyline. I was absolutely stunned to know that there was a PS2 remake of the GBA OG games and, even more surprising, it was completely translated. I started to play it some time ago and... damn, it's so good! Difficult, for sure, yet it's manageable so far with just some snaggles here and there. I finished both OG1 storylines and I have to say both were absurdly epic. Can't say what's my favourite one but I'd say that the use of SRX makes Ryusei's route get a slight edge. It's great to see the struggle of the character at the start, with the progress of the final weapon hitting a lot of stops. Then they are able to combine and it's so darn awesome. I was surprised that, despite the fact that the game features many animated cg sequences, they didn't do one for the combination, like in the past. But it was awesome anyway, especially with "Soul of Steel" playing. The game has such a fantastic OST! Even in Kyosuke's route the first foray of SRX in really awesome, with Aya's new resolve and SRX being initially alone against a big swarm of enemies. And it feels so good to wipe out any enemy before the arrival of the reinforcements with SRX alone. I'm now playing OG2: it's more challenging that the previous one and the Battle Masteries are growing more and more difficult. The secrets are bizarre too and sometime even the guides about it are a bit less clear than expected. I just managed to overcome the time consuming Inspector assault on the White Star and the annoying subsequent shuttle escort. Sadly, for reason to me unknown, I didn't get the weapon featured in that mission (the Boost Hammer), even if I fulfilled every condition. And, well, I was blown away by how good the graphical style and animation is! Most of the time is almost like a low-res 2nd OG! Absolutely outstanding! I really hope some good soul will transalte OG Gaiden too, it looks fantastic and the new units, like the Ialdabaoth, look absolutely fantastic! Sorry for the long post, it's just that is great to be finally able to play a SRW with a proper translation. Oh and SRW Y? I'll wait for more trailers to say what I think. But I'm glad they are still making games nowadays. I hope they'll complete the OG storyline. [/QUOTE]
