    YEES YOU FINALLY UPLOAD!! :D
    anyway, since you liked SD gundam G Generation series, have you ever plan to cover the sister series Super Robot Wars?

    • @MerryBytes
      @MerryBytes  4 года назад +1

      I've thought about it multiple times, but I end up never starting anything because the series has had so many games with so many different works participating in it and I never know where to start. I don't have access to the original game's PS3 remake, and starting with anything in between that and the latest games (VXT right now) would be a bit awkward.
      I'm hoping that the next OGs game comes out on PC and in English since there's no licensing mess preventing it from getting a Western release like Cross Rays did, so maybe that's when.

    • @rafiw8717
      @rafiw8717 4 года назад +1

      There IS an official english release for Super Robot Wars OG : The Moon Dwellers (and VXT too for that matter). There's also Super Robot Wars Original Generation 1 & 2 which got released in english in GameBoy Advance.
      If you're worried about continuity i recommend you to look at akurasu wiki for more information. Most of the games are standalone meaning you don't need prior knowledge about former games.
      There's also fan translation releases like SRW J (gba) SRW Alpha Gaiden (PS1) and others.
      all in all, if you've played Lost Heroes and SD Gundam series, it's practically the same thing but with mecha series other than gundam. really recommend. (also i love your channel content quality keep it up)

    • @MerryBytes
      @MerryBytes  4 года назад +1

      I've played a good part of the series actually (I started back when OG1 got an English release), what I never know is where to start covering it from here in the channel. That's why I'm waiting for the next OGs game to come on PC.
      But either way, thanks for the kind words!

      I believe that you have to use the Hong Kong account to activate the codes and download the game, but once it's installed you can play it on your Italy account. I haven't done it myself though, so I don't know if that's how it works nowadays.

    hi bro sorry to disturb again, i wanna ask last question about it. Is that u mention before about the expansion pack right? i now check got and i wanna see your opinion that is it worth to buy it for now because now got discount on it. Theres six of pack which is:
    1)SD GUNDAM G GENERATION CROSS RAYS Season Pass
    2)SD GUNDAM G GENERATION CROSS RAYS Expansion Pack
    3)SD GUNDAM G GENERATION CROSS RAYS Added Dispatch Mission Set 1
    4)SD GUNDAM G GENERATION CROSS RAYS Added Dispatch Mission Set 2
    5)SD GUNDAM G GENERATION CROSS RAYS Added Dispatch Mission Set 3
    6)SD GUNDAM G GENERATION CROSS RAYS Added Dispatch Mission Set 4
    Another question is that not only is it worth it to buy but may i know whats their contents or maybe the difference?? These are my question and sorry to disturb u and hope...u can help me before this Friday

    • @MerryBytes
      @MerryBytes  6 месяцев назад

      The 4 Dispatch Missions DLCs add some new units and music, but none of them add full gameplay stages. The Season Pass is just the 4 separate Dispatch Mission DLCs in a single package that's slightly cheaper than buying them individually. With the discount, I think it's worth paying the premium for the Deluxe Edition instead of the regular edition, since it includes the Season Pass.
      The Expansion Pack is worth it at the discount since it adds a couple of cool units and 4 fully playable stages.

    • @MerryBytes
      @MerryBytes  2 года назад +1

      You get them from leveling up pilots beyond level 99. You get 7 points just for doing a limit break, but you won't get more until after level 99. This is endgame stuff, so if you haven't finished all stages yet, don't worry about them.

      Could be, since it has a very similar appearance. Although the original Generation System from Overworld is also referred to as First Aploadia, but Aploadia didn't exist until World, and the Generation System in Wars isn't explicitly mentioned in World or Overworld.

    bro sorry to disturb you but I have some questions to this game.
    So the questions that I want to ask about is that is my first time buy this game in laptop and i found out that there are two version, one is original one is deluxe edition and I'm confused. i heard many say deluxe edition is good to buy but here's my question. I heard many comments said about season pass so.... Does it still need to use money to buy the season pass after buy deluxe edition or don't need at all?(what i mean is that does it require another money to paid the season pass after u buy deluxe edition in laptop or u don't need to paid another for it cause the season pass is already include in deluxe edition?)

    • @MerryBytes
      @MerryBytes  6 месяцев назад

      If you're playing on PC, the Deluxe Edition includes the Season Pass but NOT the Expansion Pack. The Season Pass has the 4 Dispatch Mission DLCs, but you still have to buy the Expansion Pack separately.
      On the Switch and Playstation 4, you also have the Platinum Edition. This has everything, including the Expansion Pack.

      I don't know about the original physical releases (on PC it's digital only and simply treated as DLC on Steam), but it seems that the new Platinum Edition on the PS4 only comes with the base game on the disk and the DLC has to be unlocked with the product codes, whereas on the Switch it comes with everything on the disk already.

      Supposedly you have to set your Nintendo account's region to Japan or whatever region you bought it from. I don't own a Switch though, so I don't really know the exact process.

    • @edwinchoww1
      @edwinchoww1 3 года назад +1

      I assume you got the english version. You need to switch your switch setting to Asian region (hong kong...), make a second account with setting the region to Hong Kong, then go to nintendo eshop website to buy HKD (Hong Kong Dollar) prepaid card (because this is the only way they accept US credit card), and then go into nintendo eshop using your HK account, search for sd gundam, then buy the dlc packs and the expansion pack (for the version you have), should be around $49 to $64 HKD for each pack (so about four $100 HKD card should get 4 dlc packs and the expansion pack). You can switch back your switch to US region after installation. The packs are available to all accounts, including your US nintendo account. But you should buy the $100 HKD first to be used to get the expansion pack first to see whether it works on your switch.

    • @MerryBytes
      @MerryBytes  3 года назад +2

      Warship Link-ups are ridiculous, but to be fair the vast majority of MAP weapons were always borderline useless since they prevent units from using Chance Steps and have fixed damage values that would inevitably be overtaken as units grow stronger. This was especially true before Overworld dialed back damage values.

  • @AtelierGod
    @AtelierGod 2 года назад +2

    Is Super pilot based on the kills in the current area or all around?

    • @MerryBytes
      @MerryBytes  2 года назад +2

      It's based on the Pilot's total kills all around. Super Pilot adds a flat damage bonus based on the number of kills multiplied by 5, up to a maximum of 50000 bonus damage. So 100 kills adds 500 damage, 1000 kills adds 5000 damage, and 10000 kills will hit the maximum bonus of 50000 damage.
      It also seems to ignore enemy abilities and stats, which is why it's so good in Inferno difficulty.

      Your best option is to get the PC version, which is on Steam and is the only official Western release. Humble Bundle currently has it on sale, at 15 dollars for the standard edition, and at 22 dollars for the Deluxe Edition (includes the 4 Unit DLC Packs, but NOT the Expansion Pack).

      It means South East Asia. There are a few cases of games that have full English text in that region even though they are never officially released in America and Europe, potentially due to licensing costs. Cross Rays is a unique example because only the PC version was officially released in the West as far as I know. That's why I was so surprised to see the PS4 version listed on Walmart. Must be an import from Asia.
      Well, either way, the translation should be the exact same one as I show in this video.

    • @MerryBytes
      @MerryBytes  2 года назад +2

      The new Inferno difficulty is all about grinding, but it kinda railroads the player into abusing specific strategies because of the massive stat inflation going on with it compared to the core game's Hell difficulty.
      Otherwise, the Expansion Pack DLC doesn't affect the existing difficulties nor does it rebalance the existing content. It's entirely post game grinding aside from the new missions and the added units you can buy, which are quite powerful but don't really make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things.
      So, ehh, maybe on discount? The new missions are okay, the units are cool, but Inferno Difficulty is more of a slog than anything. Regardless, both editions of the game are currently at 70% off, but unfortunately the standalone DLC packs aren't.
