Where Is Harkan
Oh hey I can play Gundam Evolution
Where Is Harkan
boo(f)

Where Is Harkan
Initial impressions
Where Is Harkan
So far all I've done is do the basic training and then try out each suit in practice mode
Where Is Harkan
Sazabi, Methuss, DOM Trooper, Guntank and GM immediately jumped out at me
Where Is Harkan
let's try out an actual match
Where Is Harkan
Yeah I think this is a game I might like
Where Is Harkan
Support life, yo
Where Is Harkan
fuckers can't handle my repair cables
Where Is Harkan
Okay in actual action
Where Is Harkan
Guntank is GREAT because I don't have to aim
Where Is Harkan
GM is great because I have a shield and long range harass ability
Where Is Harkan
Sazabi seems like it could be really good once I get the hang of it but that'll take a few games
Where Is Harkan
Methuss fires off all my TF2 Medic instincts and that feels good
Where Is Harkan
DOM trooper I wasn't initially impressed with
Where Is Harkan
too fragile and no defensive options
oh i'm scary
Sazabi SHOULD be my jam but I seem to really prefer mid-long range in this
Where Is Harkan
I want there to be, like
Where Is Harkan
a generic melee bash button
Where Is Harkan
I like that the support role isn't as clear cut
Where Is Harkan
a bunch of suits just randomly have a healing ability thrown in
Where Is Harkan
And like
Where Is Harkan
Considering how much bullshit there was in Overwatch over support units
Where Is Harkan
I think taking the spotlight off them a bit is a good move
Where Is Harkan
I see alqemizzy also has it
AzureChrysanthemum
Is this a MOBA?
Where Is Harkan
It’s first person
Princess Emily
It's Overwatch
Where Is Harkan
So more over watch than League
Where Is Harkan
It’s VERY overwatch
Where Is Harkan
But you can be the Gundam, if you want
Where Is Harkan
I think you can also just choose whatever pilot voice you want?
Where Is Harkan
So you could be Sayla in Gundam Exia if you wanted
AzureChrysanthemum
PC? Playstation?
Where Is Harkan
I’m playing it on PC
AzureChrysanthemum
Neat. I may give it a shot we shall see
AzureChrysanthemum
Big question: voice chat mandatory?
Where Is Harkan
I signed up for the network test on steam last night and this morning I had a “WELXOME TO GUNDAM EVOLUTION” email
Where Is Harkan
GUNDAM EVOLUTION | Network Test Trailer
looks like this
Where Is Harkan
I have not messed with voice chat yet
Where Is Harkan
It’s there
Where Is Harkan
There’s also an in game target ping system so you can communicate without it if you’d rather
Where Is Harkan
There IS a loot box system
Where Is Harkan
Fair warning
AzureChrysanthemum
I might give it a shot
AzureChrysanthemum
I will request access see what happens
AzureChrysanthemum
But yeah if it ends up being VC mandatory that's a no go since I'm transfemme and would rather not deal with
AzureChrysanthemum
All that shit
Where Is Harkan
Legit
Where Is Harkan
Turn A's reload animation for the beam rifle is they just
Where Is Harkan
throw it away
Where Is Harkan
and pull out a new one
Where Is Harkan
There's a kind of neat system where like
Where Is Harkan
if you die
Where Is Harkan
you don't immediately explode
Where Is Harkan
you etner a disabled state
Where Is Harkan
And just sit there sparking until your respawn timer runs out
Where Is Harkan
but during that time an ally can crouch next to you for a few seconds to pull you back to your feet and then you're just back into the action
Where Is Harkan
And there's all kinds of little touches
AzureChrysanthemum
I had legit had a respawn concept like that myself
AzureChrysanthemum
I'm glad to see someone did it
Where Is Harkan
like the DOM's movement is weirdly slidey
Where Is Harkan
because they have the big hover feet
Where Is Harkan
I haven't learned the levels but they do have like
Where Is Harkan
spaces for normal sized people to move around on foot
Where Is Harkan
like there's staircases and shit that humans could walk on next to some walls
Where Is Harkan
The art team clearly has a lot of love for the franchise
Where Is Harkan
I forgot to mention that with the disabled thing
Where Is Harkan
enemies can still just like
Where Is Harkan
finish you off
Where Is Harkan
with a few more hits
Where Is Harkan
Which is what ends up happening MOST of the time
Where Is Harkan
But every once in a while someone does save you or you do save someone
Where Is Harkan
and you're like "Yeah!"
Where Is Harkan
"Teamwork!"
DSTXC
I wanna say Apex does something like that
Where Is Harkan
XC are you playing this?
Where Is Harkan
You're a gundam guy
boo(f)
late but yeah i IMMEDIATELY clicked with the GM
boo(f)
GM's pistol harass is actually extremely strong
boo(f)
and its repair grenade is great for clutch moments or just keeping yourself together
boo(f)
incendiary mine takes a little finesse to use but like
boo(f)
if you played TF2 demoman you can absolutely use it like you used the stickybombs in TF2
boo(f)
hurl it at enemies, detonate before it lands
Where Is Harkan
My thought was drop it when I'm falling back
Where Is Harkan
for the remote mine
Where Is Harkan
If enemies see it the'll hesitate and buy you time
Where Is Harkan
if they don't you explode them
Where Is Harkan
100% win record baby
Where Is Harkan
I am the best
DSTXC
I have not tried to see if my PC can even slightly run it
Where Is Harkan
DEFEATED
Where Is Harkan
THEY MUST HAVE CHEATED
Where Is Harkan
(It was inevitable)
Where Is Harkan
REALLY starting to see what you guys were saying about the Barbatos being overpowered
Where Is Harkan
just leisurely strolls a hundred feet up into the air then stuns you and kills you from full before you're unstunned
Where Is Harkan
that's awesome
boo(f)
yeah barbatos needs kneecapped a smidge
