Is this game ass or have I lost my passion for /m/ games?
>>22908656The games just kind of exhausting. The campaign is a linear slog with every mission increasing the tonnage by 5-10 once you start getting Timberwolves or Warhawks theres very little nuance left to it other than building a long range gun line and sniping everything before it can get close enough to hurt you. They definitely could have been putting in missions with varying weight and objectives after the midpoint.
>>22908680That's what the sim pod is for, apparently. All the weird modifiers are thrown in there.
>>22908656The story is actually pretty good but the gameplay is meh
nobody tell him
>>22908656I remember being surprised that MW5 starred an actual character and not a mute self insert. That was back in vanilla though I haven't touched it in years
>>22909030(I) am distractingly handsome
>jannies instantly clean up woke proofs
>>22908656>Is this game assi dunno, lol
>>22908656A handsome cool looking guy? In a Western RPG? What year is this?
>>22908656Someone competent should make a new mechcommander. Or even a sequel to HBS battletech
>>22910955MechCommander is in some kind of licensing hell. Something to do with issues between Microsoft and Microprose/Hasbro(currently Atari I think?). Battletech 2 is not likely to happen because Paradox retained the rights after HBS left their umbrella. Paradox currently doesn't have any studio free to produce Battletech 2, and has said a few times they'd rather exploit i.p.'s they actually own, rather than dealing with keeping up with license negotiations with outsides like Microsoft. So Battletech 2 or another Battletech branded game is unlikely unless Paradox has a change of heart, or the rights revert back to Microsoft and get farmed out again. Really the only Mech i.p. we know can and might get a revival is MechAssault. There were some credible rumors that some kind of MechAssault title was in development internally at microsoft back in like 2019-2020, but that went dark almost immediately, and not even a fart mentioning it has popped up since then. So it's either shitcanned like the old 360 MA title, or it's due for an surprise announcement next year.
>>22910984Maybe we can have a new aerospace game instead
>>22910985Battletech Jump Ship Simulator. I wish to be a space trucker.
I riked it
>>22910985Partway through 5clans it dawned on me that, in the spirit of exaggerating things to fit the media they're made in, I found myself wanting an over the top Ace Combat pastiche of an Aerotech game. Something where, even if it made zero sense lorewise, there's shitzillions of targets to take out, dumbass superweapons left and right, and war crimes of a most melodramatic sort.Fuck it, it could be set during the Amaris Civil War, that would justify the scale and spectacle of it all along with the soap operatic tale of Kerensky's SLDF slowly taking back the Inner Sphere and becoming battlefield legends.
>>22911209They should actually be doing games set around the amaris civil war. Succession wars/arrival of clans/fedcom civil war has already been played out
>>22908656I'm enjoying it, but some of these missions are hard as shit. Even though I prefer the custom missions, I think I like Merc's meta-campaign better. Much prefer buying mechs rather than just unlocking them as you go. Also clan mechs are boring as shit and the batch you get are some of the most boring of the batch. Only really like the Vulture and Madcat.
>>22912215As a person who cannot get enough Warhammers in their life, I'm looking forward to forcing the Hellbringer into my roster as soon as possible.I mean seriously, it's just a Warhammer, the Clans invented their own Warhammer on their own time. I'm down for this fucker no matter what.
>>22914104Meant to reply to >>22913910
>>22914104It feels like a little baby compared to the warhammer. It's definitely one of the better ones though. You get to make a choice near the end of the game that I won't spoil, but I thought they might let you start using Inner Sphere mechs, bad sadly you're still stuck with the Shit Jaguar ones. Also very sad you don't get to fight on Tukayyid or participate in any big Jaguar losses and I have not seen a king crab yet and I am near the end of the game. I wanted the end of the game to be like the end of Halo Reach with your star being last standing against a horde of Comstar mechs.
>We will never see the Uziel in another MW gameI am truly saddened. I love how it looks, but there's nothing interesting about the period it's in.
>>22914122Can't imagine it looks baby when the Loki-P loadout is practically a carbon copy of the 6R 'Ham, flavored to Clan tech standards.
>>22914122Also very sad you don't get to fight on Tukayyid or participate in any big Jaguar losses and I have not seen a king crab yet and I am near the end of the game. I wanted the end of the game to be like the end of Halo Reach with your star being last standing against a horde of Comstar mechs.Guessing they're saving that for an expansion or another entry, since that part of the timeline is pretty prominent to the fanbase
>>22914313The end of the game is the battle of Luthien, the battle that gets the ball rolling on the Jaguars annihilation.
>>22914353Yep, seems like they're building up the hype for Bulldog and the rest(Also I forgot the quote arrow there. Fuck)
>>22914367I wonder how DLC will work. Since the game has 2 endings. Will they bother to stick with one over the other, or will we play as different characters?
>>22914369If they're going to continue the storyline, I'm hoping they continue the route you've chosen. Like which side you belong in the Great Refusal. If you went Warden, highly likely they'll attach you to one of the units that fought in the trial, kind of similar Peter's unit in 4. If you went the other way, well, I believe everyone here knows what already happened (that Reach scenario in that other post springs into mind)
>>22914369I hope we get other characters from different clans, I'd like to drunk drive a Kodiak.
>>22910521kek what game?
