>bought mechwarrior 5 on winter sale>got to rep 5>I'm the only one playing it on /v/feels weirdlove the game tho
For me it's the Corsair and Marauder II
timberwolf has always and will always be the best mech
Bane?
>>731012762>deploy>retard teammates beat the fuck out of their mechs>end up losing more money than the mission pays
>>731012762What is there to love about it? Its a downgrade from games from like 19-fucking-98 man. Mechwarrior games are the most cursed franchise of all time. Everything after 3 just humiliation ritual after humiliation ritual. It went from having Cheech and Chong as guests for its vegas show tournament to no tournaments, no interest, no future.
>>731012762>you are not alonet. Annihilator covered in Burst AC-10's
>>731012762grabbed it on sale too. its pretty good. Anyone know what increases the chances of a mech showing up in salvage after battle? ive seen some say you need to blow the legs off
>>731013738you need better pilots. ones with skill caps of 35-40 are generally pretty good
Did a shadow of zelensky start and it was relatively short... Like a 6-7 missions or something. Pretty bummed about it.The clan mechs are cool tho.
>start raising rep with davion>fucked up with independents but now raising rep with them too>now can't see jobs against pirates so I'm forced to fight against davion, kurita or independentsshould I avoid losing rep with one of these in case I work with them a lot in the future?>>731014167blowing head and weapons (forcing ejection) has the best chance, then legs, then core (having the lowest chance) iirc
I'm shit at the game. What are the best mechs in their categories?
>>731012762It's one of the dullest games ever made, which is impressive, given that it's about giant mechs.There's so much potential in the genre, but they've somehow managed to make it incredibly boring and repetitive.Also, it doesn't help that it's ridiculously woke.
>>731014167My strat is you blow off the arms (or maybe only one) and then the two legs. Don't forget to go for salvage points in the mission prep
>>731015107just use cover and matesaim at specific parts depending on the mech (blow up powerful weapons)
>>731012762i was really close to buying it but i didnt know which dlcs to get
>>731015287heroes of the inner sphere is the most importantthe rest aren't that important (at least that's whiat everyone told me)
>>731015107Best depends on what weapons you like and what mechs you like. If you like lasers pick Atlas and stick 6 Medium pulse lasers on it and a heavy rifle. If you like LRMs get a direwolf and LRM100 (I think it's possible). Rifleman with 6 heavy rifles for ballistics. Just pick a mech you like.King crab with 4 binary lasers is pretty kino. And King crab with 4 uac5 is great.
>>731015426Idk if direwolf is even in the game, I know it's in clans and MWO though.
wtf game looks and feels great why did mechatards suggested me ancientware trash
>>731013489I just love my nightstar, double Gauss rifles decapitating everything in one salvo is just too good.
>>731015861I'd use the nightstar more if the cockpit didn't suck. Right now I'm using the mauler because I can see EVEEEERYTHING it's great.
>>731013796Wasn't Mechwarrior 4 okay? I remember enjoying it way back in the day.
>>731012762install YAML and its related mods if you haven't alreadyalso get Coyote Missions once you get the hang of the game
>>731016450>installing gamechanging mods in your first playthroughwhy tho
I'm playing 2 mercs, it's kinda kicking my ass
>>731015753it's shit and extremely dumbed down for the normalfag audience
>>731013796Mechwarrior 3 is garbage and i hate that fags put this game on a pedestal when it was inferior to mech 2 mercs
>>731015753Because the people suggesting are retards who never played any mechwarrior games either.5 is good but mods make it better, Shadow of Kerensky patch really made the game damn good, Clans+ DLC's is just a streamlined campaign but is nice, possibly the best written shit for battletech in years seeing how the situation at CGL Is.
>>731017141how do i stop dying in one hit because of random critical hits, it happens way too often
>>731016450coyote missions suck
any good mecha games other than mechwarrior and old armored core that aren't fast anime mecha shit?
>>731019702Do you speak Japanese?If not, you could try Heavy Gear and if you drop the "good" bit, also Earthsiege (of Tribes fame, that world started as a mech game).
