We’ve been having an amazing time stomping around in Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries. In this Mechwarrior 5 review we look at how it makes our mech fantasy come true. Oh, and check out our Rock Paper Shotgun Displate store here: displate.com/r...
Is Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries worth it? We’ve got a full MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries review on Rock Paper Shotgun, but these are the video team’s impressions of the game. We’ll admit that MechWarrior 5 stomped under our radar until now - it’s been so long since we set inside one of these giant metal beauties that we’d forgotten how powerful they made you feel. Whether thumping through buildings or running circles around enemies with a speedier build, few games better capture the sensation of steering a big metal man. As you’ll see from this MechWarrior 5 gameplay, it captures these chunky brutes with real style.
So while it has been 18 years since the last MechWarrior game, this Mechwarrior 5 test shows the series still has something to say. We are particularly into the Mercenaries aspect that puts you at the head of a company with contracts to negotiate and business decisions to dictate. It gives the game a great structure outside of the on-foot combat, helping justify a really meaty campaign. As we say in the video we’ve not finished the game yet, but there’s tens and tens of hours of mech management to be done. Hopefully out Mechwarrior 5 impressions give you a good feel for what is here.
We hope you enjoy this Mechwarrior Mercenaries review. If you have any questions not answered by the video, pop them in the comments. Want to know which mech to test out first? How to build out your business? Perhaps we can guide you to some of the features the game doesn’t explain that well. Maybe you want to know how long is Mechwarrior 5? And if you enjoy this PC review, why not watch more PC reviews from Rock Paper Shotgun. Here are some picks from recent months:

The reason why the in-universe currency is called C-Bills is because they stand for Comstar Bills. Comstar is the neutral organization that controls interstellar communication and they also setup their own standard galaxy wide currency. That's because each C-Bill represents 1 millisecond of use on the HPG network, thus ensuring that the C-Bill is the strongest currency in the setting. Each state in the BattleTech universe issues its own currency as well but if you'r a mercenary jumping between each state looking for work C-Bills are the way to go.

@@rockpapershot Also BattleTech is such a detailed setting that not only are there exchange rates for C-Bills and every other House Bill but also conversation rates to the current US dollar. One C-Bill = $11.70 so you can use that to figure out how much everything in the game costs in real world money.

ComStar is basically the Illuminati of the battletech universe. They are always constantly monitoring all communications behind the scenes and even have their own private military. I think the Tripitz Affair is probably the most interesting thing I've read about them. For anyone wanting to get into the lore check out the Tripitz Affair.

Just about every one of the six reasons you mentioned in this video have been done before in previous MechWarrior Mercenaries games 2 and 4 to varying degrees, but there’s no doubt that this is the best-looking and most expansive iteration of the Mercenaries spin-offs to date. I just wished they made it so that the earth would shake when the ‘Mechs stomp around - These are towering war machines weighing up to 100 tons, after all. Their gyroscope ensures that their aim remains steady even when everything else around them isn’t. Also, from what I’ve seen so far the friendly AI leaves much to be desired; often walking into your weapons’ line of fire when you pull the trigger, and walking into (and demolishing) the buildings that you might need to leave standing. They’ll need to fix the AI before I’ll contemplate buying this game, making the earth shake would be a bonus.

a few notes: you dont need the stairs after every mission, just press TAB. Loadtimes are fast for me, but i play from SSD. dont put equipement in arms(that doesnt need to be there), those are most likely to get blown off. make it a priority to have full armor on your mech first, then see what weapons and equipement you can fit.(you can always shave off a little armor here or there if you need to)

There is actually no space president, which is the main cause of strife in BattleTech/MechWarrior lore. Essentially, he was shot in the back of the head by a trusted man and crazy guy 300 years ago, the presidential guard fucked off with their commanding admiral shortly afterward due to a loss of faith, and the most powerful noble houses in the galaxy have been fighting over who should be the next head of state ever since. Hence the name, "Succession Wars." All things considered though, the warfare in BattleTech lore could be considered pretty friendly considering that they could just be nuking each others planets from orbit and bombing them with chemicals and deadly viruses instead. They've been following the space Geneva convention ever since they did that once and realized it was as terrible as it sounded and thrust humanity into another dark age.

The urban mech was meant for urban combat and to be cheap so big merc groups or factions or towns or small city’s can buy like 20 or 50 of them and each can use an ac20 so imagine 20 of them shooting an atlas with an ac20 the atlas is gonna be smashed it will be obliterated but in mw5 it’s not as good since usually you only have three teammates so an urban mech is not as effective

If you've been playing the series that long like I have, I think you're missing out. I've been so happy to have a real Mechwarrior game again.

It's not that things are all that expensive, it's that individual C-Bills have very little value because they represent individual milliseconds of using the galactic internet.

Loading screens are slow? I barely see them. Not been slow at all. Also the steps up to the briefing area is annoyingly thin. However you can just press Tab and too everything from there. It’s only if you have to talk to characters that means you need to move.

Curious - the few people I've watched play the game had long load times too. Maybe a conflict with recording software / equipment?

So 1 totally incorrect statement. When you return to the hub you only need to do the walk up the stairs for the first 5 missions for story and tutorial. After the tutorial and your character is free to roam as they like all you need to do is hit tab to bring up the whole menu that you need to access in the campaign. 2nd although not inaccurate is the load times are long depending on the power of your pc/graphics card. i have a top of the line so not gonna lie its about 30 seconds fora mission, 10 seconds for travel Real issue is spawning of enemies way too close, sometimes right in front of your mech and terrible AI that only knows how to get in close and circle regardless of the mech weapon set or role.

Here's one upside for you though. Based on when the Game Story's "Timeline" technically ends (It apparently ends right before the Clans come barreling into the Inner Sphere good and proper), we could very easily have the Clan Invasion as a first major story DLC/Expansion, which does mean All them lovely Clan Mechs and weapons come with them.

Hopefully the loading times are fixed by the time it comes to steam. Chucking a piss and making a coffee is way too long of a loading screen. Not too keen on downloading another DRM for just one game.

Alas, we don't have one on the video team, and we figured that it was valuable to offer the newcomer perspective, especially as Astrid enjoyed the game so much. I'm sure there are many MechWarrior fan channels that will offer an experienced perspective. Still, thanks for watching.
