>piranha games
No thanks.

>PGI
>falling for their Jewish tricks

user, I...

Everything wrong with MWO is related to it being a F2P World of Tanks knockoff, and the fact that Cryengine 3 was terrible. This is supposed to be an entirely singleplayer game.

How could they possibly fuck it up

It's PG, so it's going to be a shilling shit fest of a game in some way. Probably cut corners everywhere, with obvious game breaking bugs.

But it's also probably the only mech game anyone is going to get in the next 10 years. No one makes them anymore, aside from Japs. And those aren't mech games.

No, it being PGI is it's biggest problem.
And I say this as somebody who plays it.

PGI is staffed by less than 20 employees who aren't office staff, they work out of a mall across from a Chinese food place. They are cucks who cry when giving away money. They didn't even create several of their own maps and Mechs, and didn't even own the IP until 7G bailed. They don't have the financial or engineering capital to make a singleplayer game of any substance and are literally skating by with a player base of sub-3,000. As a company they've been on suicide watch since 2013.

I know, I'm highly skeptical about it too. I want to acknowledge that all their failings are related to their poor handling of a F2P model, and that this is a single player game. Yet I'm just so jaded by past disappointments that I know it's going to be fucked up in some way. I'm just so starved of a proper mech sim anons.

Who cares? MechAssault 3 when?

Get the fuck out of here

Why did mech games die?

Third person action games took over an already niche market.

What is everyone's favorite Mech?

And what is the best Mech, and why is it the Urbanmech?

Jade Falcon was here, clan wolf is a loser

Clan Wolf Trial of Annihilation when?

>pgi
>3025

It's going to suck.

god dammit.
this had better be gud >

It might dull the pain for a time until someone competent gets the license.

Though their fuckup of the Era it is from on their website isn't really a good sign.

ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL

Call me when it works in VR and I can spend thousands creating an authentic cockpit to sit in while playing.

Little kids these days don't like mechs, ironically they think they're too "kiddie". You'll have a focus group full of 7-10 year olds and they'll look at a game with mechs and say it looks like the kind of game their little brother plays.

It's more or less like kids our age when Doom and Mortal Kombat were a big deal. 7 year old boys weren't supposed to be playing Doom in '93 but we did exactly because we weren't supposed to. Except now the big """mature""" games are shit like CoD.

Funny thing is though, while those """mature" games are popular with children all those 'children's games' are super popular with 20-30 year old men.

To be fair now that I think about it, that makes sense to some degree. Back when we were young Mechs were still new and exciting. We didn't have super fancy CGI and video games like now. So they have effectively been spoiled.

Sad, but that might just be how things are.

>tfw you will never own a copy of steel battalion with the massive SB controller set up

Why is it called MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries right off the bat?

Because Mercenaries games are always the most popular since you have access to both Clanner and IS mechs and weaponry rather than being limited to one or the other.

>Offline single player piggy mwo.
>good

Gee i can't wait to have to pay 150 usd irl money for one shitmech pererc mpc on my team then watch them have to boat utterly retarded builds in order to do anything because piggy hates lurms etc and LOVE ghost heat.

>piranha games
its going to be pure ass with $500 of dlc

>They don't have the financial or engineering capital to make a singleplayer game
Funny you say that, since they just hired an entire second dev team specifically for this game.

MW5 is being made in the Unreal 4 engine.

Probably for the name recognition. MW2: Mercs and MW4: Mercs were widely considered the best games in the series.

>hiring Mexicans

Surely this will go well.

Wut. There's been like two 'mercenaries' games.
A mw3 expansion iirc and mw4 mercs.

Thats it.

Mech sims or mech games in general?
The former because games like those are too complicated to get into plus the popularity of consoles. Also because Microsoft sat on the MW IP, and let it fall into obscurity.

The latter because of the demand for more realism starting in the early 2000's, if not prior. That's why texture quality is favored over art style. Mecha isn't realistic, plus it was pretty niche already.

Seems now that sci-fi is getting popular again, what with Mass Effect, Titanfall, Cod IW, and whatnot. So mecha might just be on its way back into the forefront.
While I have no faith in PGI, is MW5M does well, it might just help push mecha back to the forefront.

ofc this is just my personal opinion

3025 is the best time period

You know Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries kinda started the who Mercenaries trend right?

You are right. Pity we won't be getting Clan tech in this one. Fuck the IS and their bullshit.

t. Freeborn Toad

While it's PGI, it has a chance to be alright because it's PVE and not PVP.
One of the best things about the mech warrior franchise is the contrast between mech and other forms of machine / infantry. That was entirely lost with the f2p pvp game.

Ah. Not mw3.

>Mw2 mercs and mw4 mercs.

Hardly a 'series' especially since ''mechwarrior'' is the series already.

tuberat

>having to use piggys retarded meta from mwo offline in a single player game.

Gee sure is fun boating all these sml / med lazors and srms.

>upgrade to gauss rifle player. Just one easy payment of 50 usd and 1 usd per ton of ammo!
Popups

>like this game ? Play MWO
POPUPS EVERY 5 MINUTES.

YEAH NO. Fucking piggy are jew gypsy retards of microfuckyousactions

>dont forget to buy your heat sinks every mission! Only 4.95 per double heat sink!!

That is like saying Jedi Knight isn't a series because the series is really Dark Forces.

Mercenaries has always been a good spin-off for whatever the current MW was. Simply because it opened up more options.

In many ways the MW IP should have just completely moved to Mercs a while ago.

Say it to my face in honorable combat on the battlefield and not online and see what happens freebirth. I bet you are coupling for the purposes of procreation right now. You disgust me.

Let's think of ways in which PGI will insert microtransactions into a singleplayer game

>when performing salvage, a third of the salvage is locked behind a paywall (you need a special single-use tool that costs $0.99 to salvage the 'hi-tech' bits)
>paid cosmetics, painting system straight from MWO
>selling mechs for real money

I'd be interested in this if the developer wasn't shit. Well, maybe they'll miraculously produce something good. I'm not holding my breath though.
Maybe that Battletech game will be good too. It's possible. I can hope.

The immediate though will be certain Mechs for cash. And would be spun as being authentic since you are Mercs.

But probably C-Bills for cash.

Really though we shouldn't give them any ideas.

>piranha games

I'm not getting my hopes up.
