Not-Hunter Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 So MW5 has been announced I'm not gonna lie, this doesn't fill me with confidence. Being handled by Pihrana games, the guys still trying to clean up the mess that is mechwarrior online. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn8iijYF_SE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachis Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Yep looks like mechwarrior. I would like the franchise more if AC didn't set a standard for mech games that nobody can even hold a candle to. #spoiled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-Hunter Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) I remember liking some of the spinoff games on the xbox, mechassault, but this just looks kinda bland. One thing i could never get over with this series is that a lot of the more humanoid mechs have hands but don't use them for anything.

I would like the franchise more if AC didn't set a standard for mech games that nobody can even hold a candle to. #spoiled this and the actual battletech doods are making a new battletech game that looks dope and their track record is v strong so it's prolly gonna be as good as it looks/sounds plays wild diff from mechwarrior but well steve already covered that anyhow last thing i need is a crappier ac fuck ac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendragon Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Oh yeah, I heard about this. I'm actually pretty excited, since I've been delving into other mech games while waiting for From to deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YUNG MASTERLESS GLENCOUR Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 have hands but don't use them for anything. OG series they punch and kick and use melee weapons most times melee attacks are wild devastating lol putting ur 100 ton mech's fist thru a 30 ton bot is wild amusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-Hunter Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 I only ever played mechassault on the xbox so my knowledge of mechwarrior is rather limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YUNG MASTERLESS GLENCOUR Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 the older mechwarriors (like way older) were kinda cool but newer ones were trash and u really start to see how crappy they are in comparison to the source material because there's no longer an excuse for the limitations present anymore (ex. hands that don't do anything) its 2016 ffs like Steve said if you wanted that kind of stuff than AC did it way way way way way way way WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY better, at least through the first 3 eras of the game Heavy Gear did what mechwarrior tried to do better, as well, back in the day battletech is bscly the originator of all mech shit and its pretty great as a franchise but this game looks like its not even remotely doing it any justice which comes as no surprise battletech is at its best when you're walking onto a battlefield in a huge mech with all kinds of big ass cannons and you're smashing apart bots while standing in a lake if you get away from that then chances are other series do/did it better u know? iirc mechassault was p cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Py687 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Never heard of Heavy Gear but this doesn't look too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YUNG MASTERLESS GLENCOUR Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 heavy gear is old as fk but it was fun heavy gear 2 was not very good tbh but heavy gear was the problem i had with heavy gear 2 was it gave u access to all the equipment from the drop so bscly it killed the balance and the fun of playing thru the game and building ur bot by earning ranks and parts Although MWO and all those games are kinda cool you cabt really compare to the customization and the fast paced action of the 4th gen AC gamesbattletech is at its best when you're walking onto a battlefield in a huge mech with all kinds of big ass cannons and you're smashing apart bots while standing in a lake if you get away from that then chances are other series do/did it better u know?

Rachis Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 the problem i had with heavy gear 2 was it gave u access to all the equipment from the drop so bscly it killed the balance and the fun of playing thru the game and building ur bot by earning ranks and parts I like this. It's a part of what is wrong with DS franchise right now. People expect everything to be balanced and completely neglect the progression aspect of the game. Why should an axe be just as viable yhorms? Why should a basic laser rifle be just as viable as the karasawa? Progression is fun and rewarding. It's an extremely shallow mechanic, but it lets you feel like you are getting stronger. It adds the drive to invest more time into getting more stuff.

YUNG MASTERLESS GLENCOUR Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 yeah man, progress matters, even at a superficial level it's what keeps the people going it's also what convinced all those clowns that they could keep up with me in AC hahahhahahahahahahahahahahhaha fuck ur little arcadias and nine balls no for reals tho its basic game design to build progress in that's the whole point of level design, not to mention all that other shit (like equipments in ds, parts in ac, etc) heavy gear does an excellent job of that, hg2 not so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
