At its surface, Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier is nothing more than a generic Japanese role-playing game that was seemingly cranked out of an RPG-O-Matic machine. Without any original hooks or features unique to the Nintendo DS, it's difficult to see how it could attract new fans to the long-running franchise. But from the depths of its turn-based template you can salvage a few sparks of life that give Endless Frontier a reputable edge. The long chains of awesome-looking attacks are counterbalanced by some extraneous exposition, but if you sift through the snoozer of a story and focus on the smart writing, you'll have a good laugh between the fantastic fights.
The Good:
* Fantastic combat is fast, fun, and deep
* Well-translated dialogue is often funny
* Lots of likable characters
* Large, pretty character sprites are fluidly animated
The Bad:
* Incomprehensible story
* Dated, generic RPG structure
* Boob jokes get old
Blistered Thumbs: "There are a lot of women in video games, aren’t there? Their roles range from simple goals of a quest to the main character of the game, and their personalities are just as wide and varied. And of course, a lot of them are pretty… very pretty. As a man, I tend to notice this.
Even the most evil of evil wenches in games still manage to pull off head-turning looks here and there, making us question if it’s really worth fighting for the side of good. Of course, there are always those little niggling quirks, those impracticalities that would make maintaining a relationship with these women something of a challenge.
So today we’re looking at the top 9 women in video games that you really wouldn’t want to be with, for one reason or another."
No Sarah Kerrigan?
Cracking looking lass, someone you could take home to meet your mother. But when she is the Queen of Blades she has a little bit of a bad attitude, and might turn you into a suicide bomber so that can put a hold on any relationship.
Apart from that, I'd tap it.
Putting aside the fact they are fictional characters (apart from how the MGS girls are based on real people) I would love to meet the MGS girls/Trish/Bayonetta and Morrigan. Just dont get them angry and it will be ok.
To hell with the consequences; sometimes it's best to be impulsive and think with your tallywacker. So she's a succubus - ehhh.
KOS-MOS has a friend from the Xenosaga universe in Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier Exceed. No, not T-elos. M.O.M.O., dressed in her Xenosaga III outfit, is also in the game.
You've got plenty of great RPG options on the DS this year, including all that competition from Atlus itself and some other notable tongue-in-cheek adventures that don't take themselves seriously, like the just-released Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. But if you're looking for something even more over-the-top than that, if you have the patience to endure some of the most epically lengthy boss battles you'll ever see in your life as a gamer, and if you haven't felt compelled to pick up that picket sign and decry Atlus's lack of good sense for having built an entire RPG storyline around a man who probably spends his free time trying to sneak into the Playboy mansion, then give Endless Frontier a second glance. The OG is all good.
