>>720665434There was that game a while back, that was pretty good, wasn't it?
Didnt the alphabet gay crowd get ahold of this franchise?
>>720666662How?Its just scifi tanks shooting at each other.
>>720667081https://www.sarna.net/news/community-outreach-battletech-pride-with-anthology-authors-detocroix-albatross-and-blimpyLike that's ever stopped them.
>>720665434MS holds the video game license, so anytime anyone wants to make a game in the setting they have to go through them. It's kind of smothered it in the crib when devs realized how bad MS was.
>>720665434>barely any video gamesZoomers get out. OUT!
>>720665434>mechwarrior built off pirahna games assets but with 0 effort into doing anything more than adding basic bot AI so it sucks>the strategy game had stupid faggotry added in while the AI is similarly dogshit and negative fun to play>both need at least a dozen mods to be playable and they're still not great after all thatthe franchise has potential but I'd give it another decade for a reset to see if someone else who isn't a complete retard can get a hold of itthe saving grace is that you can just rip them off gog instead of being forced to pay for them if you're iffy
>>720665434Every MW game is at least 8/10.
yes>War And Peace setting about how liberal democracy goes to shit when things get hard>actual stories boil down to football fan cheerleading>like it's so bad the fucking communist capellans don't just still exist, they won the setting so they could market battletech to china
>>720665434Mechwarrior 2, it's expansions and MW3 were all good and popular games. Then the Iphone got invented and everyone got dumber. Sim games aren't popular anymore.
>>720669370That's not even counting the 2 Mechcommander games that released.
>>720670039Because Battletech, Mechcommander and Mechwarrior are three different IPs.
Grew up with MW2 and MechCommander. Loved MW3 too, MC2 and MW4 disappointed me. So I dropped the series at that point, just as the devs did too, I guess.Never took interest in the new releases mainly due to the atrocious new art direction, but also because from what I've heard they're made by typical mogged incompetent western AA devs that focus on MP or randomized missions rather than fun bespoke levels like those halcyon MC and MW3 days.Somehow a fucking gacha from slightly less incompetent nippon devs got its mecha claws on me for MP. And EDF's mission design together with my class choice on Inferno difficulty is a pretty 1:1 substitute for MW's solo campaign.
