SDF Macross (A-03) "Giants" (PS2)

I finally pulled out my old laptop to record the rest of the Macross PS2 game. I'm a bit rusty and I was recording while watching 2010 Vancouver Olympics. I still pull off S ranks, but it's not as "stylish" as I used to be.

This is the third mission of the ARMD set of missions. Basically you run through the Do You Remember Love version of the story, but with a few "extra" missions. This "technically" happens in the movie but with Hikaru rather than Apollo squadron. I guess this is the defense line that Misa is talking about that will protect Macross while Skull squadron is suppose to be counter attacking.

In my opinion, the S-Rank in this third mission hinges on the second part where you are inside Macross. You can only use your gunpod while inside Macross so feel free to use all your heavy missiles during the first part. Anyway, once you enter Macross, the first few Power Armors you fight don't have much health, but it feels like the later ones get more and more health. If you get too close to them, there are times where they will charge towards you firing, which really sucks, since I believe it is slightly faster than your speed is when you're boosting backwards. So, you do need to keep your distance, but not too far or you can't lock on and your gunpod's accuracy will drop like a rock.

This is the beginning of the movie right?

[rubedokukai]

@Redgrant80 Yeah. It's when Hikaru rescues Minmay. Too bad you're not playing as Hikaru though you're pretty much doing what he is doing in the movie.

So does it still get stuck when you play the level?

hey i already passed this one man

[rubedokukai]

@efeboabel I uploaded it twice cause the first one I uploaded was the wrong one.

[Redgrant80]

@rubedokukai Yeah i figured it out eventually myself. At first though its kinda hard to tell since it looks like a lot of the other missions. Personally I think it has to start with a lot more missiles.

i got a modchip on my ps2, that allows me to play this game on my console without being a japanese, and sometimes this very stage part got stuck, because i killed all the zentraedi within the SDF-1 and nothing happened, the level never finishes
