Line 4:
** As is the [[Chars Counterattack|Hi-Nu Gundam]] (whom fans have been clamoring in past installments), [[Full Metal Panic|Bonta-Kun]], [[Crossbone Gundam|"Skull Heart"]], and an [[Macross Frontier|Armored Klan Klang]]. The fandom is pleased, indeed.
** Now there's the mechanic where you can essentially create what music you wish to be in during missions (through MP3s stored on the [[Play Station 3]] hard drive). And, yes, you can also change what music plays at certain points in cutscenes.
** {{spoiler|Second-to-last boss fight: HOLY SHIT! [[Armored Core
* [[Author's Saving Throw]] - Fans began [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|discontented grumbling]] soon after notorious director Takanobu Terada announced R would be limited to approximately three mecha per series. In an impressive turnaround time, Terada made a second post the same day, explaining any mecha with upgrades (such as the [[Code Geass|Lancelot Conquista and Albion]]) or alternate equipment setups (such as the [[Macross Frontier|VF-25F Messiah]]) would be considered a single unit for the purposes of headcount, meaning that "three per series" was true [[From a Certain Point of View]]. Of course, fans aren't too upset, seeing as this means there will be more playables than previously anticipated; for example, ''[[Code Geass]]'' has six machines (the Lancelots, Guren Flight and SEITEN, Shinkirou, and C.C.'s Akatsuki), and ''[[Macross Frontier]]''has all five primary pilots (Alto Saotome, Mikhael Blanc, Ozma Lee, Luca and Klan)
** They probably went a little two far, though: Lancelot Conquista and Albion? Great; [[Code Geass|Guren Flight]] and [[Fun
** Don't forget about Souske's [[Full Metal Panic|M9 Gernsback]], it has identical equipment to the Arbalest minus the Lambda Driver and its Specials, so its only really good if you want to play without spamming Powerful shots.
*** At least many of the unlockables are really good: Klan in a skin tight suit with a VF-25's FAST pack strapped to her? Both cool and canon; a playable {{spoiler|[[Armored Core
** Terada ''still'' did [[Lying Creator|lie about one thing]]: he said R would use instrumental SRW-style themes...which ''is'' true, but the game features a background music editor, which means you can bring in the orginal openings and soundtracks to the series. Fortunately, this little addition is almost universally praised.
** ''A.C.E. Portable'' is seen as this, since it comes right on the heels of the critically panned R, was at 90% when it was announced (presumably owing to the fact that almost 90% of it is recycled from past games) and it does away with elements of R that were unpopular, like the Tension-based weapons set-up and the [[Rail Shooter]] segments.
* [[Game Breaker]] - The "Limiter Removal" option allowing infinite ammunition once a mech's stats are upgraded to max. It's especially bad for the likes of the [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
** The Buster Ark's Riot Shot attack in 2 which, due to a [[Good Bad Bug]], can literally [[One-Hit Kill]] any enemy if used at point-blank range
** And of course, the [[Eureka Seven|Nirvash typeZERO Spec 3]] in 3, easily the most powerful unit in the game (and indeed, is a [[Bragging Rights Reward]] for clearing each and every hidden mission). It only has three attacks/weapons, two of which are on par with the [[Mobile Suit Gundam
** That line about Spec 3 being the strongest? That is true... to a point. Get [[Turn a Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]] to a Limiter Removal, and it gets an infinite supply of hand grenades. Doesn't sound like much? Well these hand grenades happen to actually be Nuclear Warheads! Combine that with the Moonlight Butterfly, which does insane damage to all units anywhere close to the Turn-A, and its extremely potent [[Healing Factor]], made all the nastier by the really high armor rating it'd have by then, and you have a unit that can beat even the [[Final Boss]] in a matter of seconds.
** One of the ART-1's Tension attacks can one shot almost all large [[Mooks]] if you hit the right place. That, and it's a [[Lightning Bruiser]]. In fact, were you to max Ryusei's stats early in the game, the rest of the missions makes R a joke.
Line 29:
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]] - R generated harsh criticism in Japan for removing nearly everything about the older games but the [[Crossover]] nature and action-oriented style, fixing what wasn't broken
** The staff had stated outright that R is an [[Obvious Beta]]. At this rate, there won't be a release version.
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]] - Another major complaint about 3 is how the "Earth A" plot focused predominantly on [[Chars Counterattack]], which was already featured prominently - and handled ''better'' - in the original game. The fact several series were present with absolutely no plot, including newcomers [[Turn a Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]] and [[
** This has become a bit of a complaint concerning R, as well: of all the included series, only [[Macross Frontier]] has its plotline resolved within the context of the game. The other series' denizens are simply sent back to their original worlds in order to work out their differences amongst themselves.
