Honestly, if you watch the review - if you play it with modernised controls and in 3rd person, it feels pretty arcadey/casual.

Nostalgia is the only thing keeping PGI's lights on. Seriously, apart from updating the mech models, PGI has done nothing to advance the campaign gameplay or the mech combat mechanics.

Great review sounds like it should have had a higher score though? everything looks and sounds great I didn't really see many negatives.. nobody thought this was a simulation Mech game.. if you played the others you know it's not Pure simulation ...sounds like an 8 or 8.5 to me.. especially cuz the cutscenes and Story look better than ever . Clearly making use of metahuman....but to each his own I guess... Piranha games is a great Studio they make good games

"We are not the good guys" It's Battletech. No one is. All factions are just different flavors of self-interested, just like the real world. Now, Smoke Jaguar committed some of the worst atrocities outside of glassing entire planets in Capellan style, so I'm interested in seeing how they justify their actions.

It's because the normies wouldn't even know to switch the controls. I can remember so many complaints when both MWO and MW5 launched from reviewers and such about being unable to control a mech because it didn't walk the way you were looking.

If MW5 just had more customization options and some sense of actually impacting the map, e.g territories changing hands, then it would have been my dream mech game. A linear story game was an interesting path to take it, I'm very interested 😁

always been kind of a casual fan of the battletech/mechwarrior stuff since 3050 on SNES/Battletech on the Genesis, so when i discovered the OG MW5 on Game pass, I was hooked all over again! really enjoyed stomping through missions laying waste to the enemy mechs and ships, and finishing the mission by the skin of my teeth! so if Clans is gonna give me more of that, I am definitely ready to dive in!
@ericsaari2901Күн бұрын
Big fan of Mechwarrior. Issue is, I’m not really interested in spending money on a “serviceable” game. The AI being a letdown is the big factor for me. A little bit also there not really seeming to be any legs on the game when it comes to finishing the story.

As someone who already has 938 hours on MW5, with a custom HOTAS setup, i really hope they add proper HOTAS support, i can't wait to play the hell out of it. Hopefully, they have IIC mechs like the Phoenix Hawk IIC.
@Zathul419823 сағат бұрын
They said to expect largely the same roster as MWO, minus IIC mechs and non-appropriate era mechs. They said they're figuring out how to implement the IIC/second line mechs without it upsetting the invasion timeline too much due to us being in a front line galaxy largely piloting omni mechs. The Phoenix Hawk IIC also hasn't ever been done by PGI, so even when they do throw second line mechs in there I wouldn't hold your breath. I'm personally a bit sad I won't be able to use a Kodiak, but I guess this is a Smoke Jag centric story anyway
