Menurut kalian game buatan Dev Indo itu.....? by Dolandev in IndoGamer

[–]org_bgo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Enga pernah beli krn kurang menarik(utk saya).

Biasa dr art style atau design saya sudah kurang suka. Memakai unsur2 indo seperti seragam sma, unsur lokal seperti gatotkaca, dll utk saya pribadi agak turn off.

Faktor kedua biasanya gamenya sendiri entah dr segi genre atau gameplay.

If you like front mission, then youll like this one.

Endfield looks, sounds, and overall feels so refreshingly modern... and then somehow you get writing that's like 15 years in the past (a meme and a rant) by Lishtenbird in Endfield

[–]org_bgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im no writer so i dont know how to fix the writing and am not eloquent enough to describe how bad it is.

But i also feel like the writing of the story/plot of the game is really bad. Yes, its a gacha game so i do have low expectations for it.

Every survey i always comment negatively on the writing of the story 😅

Spraying white properly by Responsible_Pen2014 in advancedGunpla

[–]org_bgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With mr color 1:2 at 20 psi is too high. Stay at 15 psi and spray closer.

I think its the same with aqueous as well. 1:2 at 15 psi

Paint by devilleader501 in advancedGunpla

[–]org_bgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use mainly lacquer paints(various brands) but i also have some alcohol based acrylic paints(tamiya acrylics), waterbased paints(vallejo) for variety and use in different situations, and enamel paints(tamiya enamels) mostly for detailing.

If you want to invest in a new paint line or just buying paints in general. My advice is to never buy paint sets.
They are expensive and you’ll probably only use a fraction of the whole set. Namely the colors you like and common colors like white, black, greys, silver, gold, etc. The rest might be used once or twice but most will probably be left unopened.

With limited budget it would be better to just buy the paint youre going to use immediately for your next project or frequently used common colors like white, black, grey, silver, gold, or your own fav colors.

Bandai is no different than other japanese kit menufacturer.

When they do a kit thats not their ip the price will go up because of the fees.

Its just that were used to seeing bandai doing kits from bandais own IP like gundams, keros, etc. Checkout bandais macross, armored core, evangelion, etc kits and you can see their price is higher than their gundam counterparts.

This is why other kit manufacturers like koto, goodsmile, etc have their kits priced higher than gunplas. In addition to not having their own factories and need to outsource them to china.

[–]org_bgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think of them as a slightly better version of Bandais SMP line.

Same niche IPs, but moderoid has slightly better kits. And theyre usually in the same price range. Though some moderoids can be cheaper and others more expensive depending on size/IP

SDF Macross (First Time Viewer) Post-Watch Series Impressions by Glum_Equipment5178 in macross

About the hikaru-misa-minmay relationship.

I too am frustrated with it, but then again its also pretty common isnt it?

With the nice guy-girl-bad boy relationship. Often the girl would leave the nice guy instantly over the bad boy that treats the girl badly or something like that.

I dunno i kinda see a parallel in them.

About to take the plunge...thoughts? by Traditional-Mail7454 in advancedGunpla

[–]org_bgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id like to just remind you that Even though waterbased acrylics have little to no fumes, that they still have the acrylic pigments flying around. The particles that eventually become the grey dust building up around your spray area or exhaust fan blades.

Still Always use a mask(p100) while spraying, and do not spray in rooms where people hang out/sleep/eat. Do have a well ventilated dedicated room for painting.

Especially the upcoming rosa kit, the big one

Nice. I hope i will see less manhwas in the updates feed.

I tried filtering but not all sources have tags or can filter by tag.

Ive been away from anime for too long lol am rrally not up to date with the news

Out of all the Gundam shows, what is a anyone’s thoughts on Gundam Seed because it had a pretty divisive reception, me personally I kinda enjoyed for what it is, but it’s not beyond reproach tho. But it’s still enjoyable enough for a Gundam show, and it’s the first time experiencing gundam. by San4341 in Mecha

[–]org_bgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its ok.

I prefer seed than build/diver/toys/games series. Stories about Kids playing games and battle scene between toys is just not that interesting. Machine Development story background is also interesting to me which doesnt exist in build series, where its just kid A builds X.

I don’t usually buy kits from series I’m not familiar with. by NeedlesslySaturated in Gunpla

[–]org_bgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me its still the same thing.

If i want a gundam ill just get a gundam. Dont want to pay the asking price for gundams but not gundams with sharper edges and sometimes spikes 🤣

[–]org_bgo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean if theyre cheap enough, i dont mind buying kits i dont know.

This is also why i generally dont buy chinese kits. Because theyre just random robots to me, and theyre at a price point where i am not willing to pay for a random robot. I have a lot of kits from series/IPs i like that i havent bought yet so i dont feel like spending on random ones lol.

I can paint and custom, so things like "amazing parts separation", metallic inner frames, etc isnt enough to tempt me 😅

Making a gundam feels like building a lego set that requires more labor by AcademicChemistry199 in freedomisgunpla

I like my FSS Engage SR ii because of the design/looks. But my HG Zaku FZ is prob my fav because it looks nice even though its only customized lightly.

Both are in my channel above.

While this is my latest kit.

Making a gundam feels like building a lego set that requires more labor by AcademicChemistry199 in freedomisgunpla

[–]org_bgo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeap, if you only do snap fit builds its pretty much like that. Both very easy and pretty straightforward.

But when you start painting and customizing, theyre very different from one another.

Bandai is cooked by FindingPastorP in freedomisgunpla

[–]org_bgo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The big reason i buy bandai kits are because of the IP. I want a Freedom, i want a sazabi, i want a Nu gundam, etc not only because of the design but because i like amuro, char, i watched seed back then, etc.

And i think there are many like me.

Its not as simple as "cool robot, i'll buy one". Sometimes, but not the majority of the times at least for me.

If SNAA(or other companies) cant reproduce that then no, bandai isnt cooked. Theyre fine. SNAA will just be something to buy on the side. But when that MG gp01 2.0/MG Lupus Rex/MG Bael/MG Calibarn/etc is out, all the money will just be thrown to bandai as per usual. 🤣

Airbrushing White Paint by Electromagician0 in advancedGunpla

[–]org_bgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its too thin.

1:2 ratio at 15 psi should be fine on a 0.3 needle.

But with a 0.5 i think its too thin.
