What is a good mech game

Hawken and Titanfall both look fun.

That Mechwarrior Living Legends mod for Crysis Wars is supposed to be good I think. Never played it though.

Armored Core

ZOE

>>252797760

Armored Core
If you have a Vita get 3 or Silent Line now. Right now.

>>252798416
/thread

Anyone remember Chromehounds?

Front Mission 3.

Armored Core Last Raven

That said it's not a good entry level game.

>>252797760
Armored Core 4, For Answer, Silent Line, and Last Raven.

I personally really like the gameplay of for answer, and it's the reason I got into AC series again after a long time.

>>252797760

Phantom Crash
S.L.A.I. Steel Lancer Arena International
GunValkyrie
Metal Wolf Chaos
pick your Armored Core (3 is a good choice, IMO)
Zone of the Enders 1, 2, Fist of Mars
I'm not too knowledgeable on Mechwarrior titles, but there are good ones
Gundam Extreme VS Full Boost
Virtual-On (original, Oratorio Tangram)

Any others?

You mean the best multiplayer mech game ever. Yes

>>252801268
>>252797889

Those arent really mech games just fps games with mech gimmicks

>>252797760
The best one ever made was Chromehounds, but its gone now. Weep, for you shall never know such joys.

I played armored core and it was okay I guess yeah,the only replayability is in the parts. Multiplayer sucks everyone just stacks tankparts and missles the ams sucks dick

the front mission series were my favorite but i fucked up everytime when i edited my mechs classes too much. (IE 2 blade mechs and 2 rifle mechs)

Mech warrior online sucks dick
Hawken sucks bigger dick
and titanfall is the troll of the mech series titanfall was overhyped for sure

Get the original Mechwarrior games, considering you can get them all for free and they don't suck ass.

Armored Core series is awesome, though the latest installments (V and Verdict Day) suffer from horrifying frame rate problems. Think Dragon's Dogma, but constant high level spell induced performance issues. It's that fucking bad.

Armored Core for Answer.

Armored Core 4 is a prequel to it, but the game is short as fuck (literally an hour or two long) and knowing what happens in it isn't that important. I paid full fucking 60€ for the thing and still regret it to this day. Felt like a paid demo.

Also steer away from both V and V-Day because of >>252803996

It's not dead, this is misinformation. People still play it. I literally just got the game last week and we're running into different people all the time.

Also the frame rate issues were fixed in VD. Anybody saying otherwise is shitposting because of how bad V was.

I've thought of how to remove legging. Instead of killing the mech when the legs are destroyed, it should just make them limp and move slower. Combined with a VTOL that can lift damaged mechs back to base for repair, it wouldn't be seen as much of a scrubby tactic.

I want to like the MW4 series but I absolutely hate how much they dumbed down the weapons. Literally everything except missiles became fucking hitscans! AC20? Nope, it's just 1 fucking hitscan. In MW3 it was a badass burst cannon with every shot individually modeled. Why was 4 such a step back?

Still far better than MWO though, I must say. Still handles like a dream with HOTAS.

>>252807096
He's wrong. MWO is complete shit. They've cut the value of in-game currency several times, and quite frankly having to grind so much to afford to get different weapons completely kills the fun of customization.

Plus. it's practically impossible to play on a HOTAS setup because you get utterly shat on by mousers

>>252806464
God, why didn't they just put it on PC? That would put all the UI issues right to bed since navigating them with a mouse would be easy

Get the Dark Souls 2 porting team to do it, because if anything, DS2 ran like a dream

>>252812585
Armored Core controls would not work on Mouse/Keyboard.

For some reason I really liked mechs in the first Lost Planet. They feel just right. And got nice proportions of weeaboo and west to them.

>>252811049
How was it? I heard it was shit.

>>252812973
Have you played 4/4A/V/VD?

You shouldn't be restricted to only 8 directions of movement in those games. Not to mention boost and boost charging being pressure sensitive.

>>252812938

I know that feel so much.

>>252813165

It was unplayable. Kinect is a piece of shit.

>>252813128
Sorta. Weapons mounted on the arms can turn pretty much instantly, while your torso catches up. Either way, it's unwieldy as all fuck, because they're on two separate reticules.

I wish it was like MW3 where they both shared the same reticule and torso weapons just wouldn't fire if your reticule was too far to the sides

>>252813258
4/4A disgusted me because I didn't really like just boosting through the air all the time, having grown up with the PSX/PS2 games

Is ACV/VD like that? Is it worth getting V or should I just go right to VD?

>>252813528
V-era is all about mobility through jumping off of surfaces, the boosting is on the tame side of things otherwise.

I can see why people shittalk Mechwarrior Online based off how it was a few months back, but since the clans are in the game now the balance has been much improved.

I'm actually having fun again, which is something I can say I havent had since the introduction of the Stalker

>>252813528
Verdict Day is the alive game, and the mobility is less about constant boosting through the air and more about jumping off surfaces like mechanized ninjas.

It's also not as fast as For Answer so you don't have to worry about twitch reactions.

>>252797760
If I only pick up AC 4 or 4a, which is the better choice?

>>252814023
This, besides, balance is the least of my problems with MWO. I just don't like how it handles compared to the originals, how your view doesn't actually bob around with your mech, how turning your legs is instant instead of ramping up (preventing small adjustment), and how people have talked about already where using a joystick is shooting yourself in the foot.

Do they have other gamemodes than 1-life shit yet? You tend to die fast in MWO, so I don't like having to sit out the rest of the round, I wish it was like in MWLL where you just go back to base and have to buy a new mech with in-round currency

No, V. Did VD change the default mapping? if I remember, it had boost on LB and boost charge on X. Going to say again that you can remap controls however you want. Unless they took that out of VD too.

So yes, it is perfectly playable on a 360 pad, because, well, it was on the 360.

V and Verdict Day don't have framerate problems on my PS3. Definately start with 4/4A if you are new to the series, as they play similar to the previous games (though there are some big differences).

V is even more different and isn't a good first AC game. Only fans enjoy it.

>>252819006
>>252819102

It's ok. It looks P2W but it's really just pay 2 unlock shit faster. The starter mech you get is one of the best in the game.

So it's pay2fun free2grind

>>252819514
>Definately start with 4/4A if you are new to the series, as they play similar to the previous games
In my opinion V was a bit more like the PSX/PS2 era titles, striking a balance between the quick boost hell that was ACFA and the slower paced old games.

I really wanted to like V, but the frame rate problems got me and the online died way too early. Really shitty for a game that was focused even more on multiplayer than previous ones. Even some of the main story missions are actually impossible to complete with a close ranged tank mech (can't reach some areas) and without other people to play with you're pretty much forced to play a medium weigh, bipedal, jack of all trades type mech yourself.

>>252820065
Pretty much. There's a good chance you'll enjoy playing the starter mech, and it's not that much grinding to get the monies for your first mech purchase. So unless you're autisitc and will try to get every mech and not pay, give it a shot.

Worst case you just uninstall the damn thing.

Whatever you do, stay away from Mechwarrior Online. Its a huge pile of shit that rapes the series. Its literally an arena deathmatch game with a never ending grind and pay2win mechs.

The devs are also completely inept and are in way over their heads.

And if you want clan mechs, I hope you have lost of money.

Post more, I can't play this game and capture in HD at the same time.

I drop to like 20FPS every time I try.

With a gif it was no trouble since I could just play it in native but if I want to make Webms I just can't play that game, have it look good and capture all at once.

yeah, sadly they're really the only ones really truckin hard. The genre is in a 00's space sims kinda slump.

Whoever holds the rights to mechwarrior/battletech has been giving them to just the shittiest fucking dev's. (although that turn based hex strat looks alright)

I just want to be in a clan and kill some impure inner sphere scum, I don't think I'm asking much. But instead we get a shit PvP online only game with grinding and pay to win mechanics. Jordan Weisman, where did you go??

Personally I thought Heavy Gear made more sense as a setting than Battletech

>4000 years in the future
>Gears are only 2-3 times taller than the pilot
>Tanks still ruin their shit
>Run on V-Engines instead of magical compact fusion reactors
>Uses a learning computer to help run the Gear instead of Battletech's MIND-READING HELMETS (ok this isn't actually that far-fetched but still)

Lore-wise Heavy Gear is kinda lame though. Battletech reminds me of 40K. There is no infrastructure or technological advancement, everyone is constantly fighting for power, and every side is an asshole.

>>252843970

Not a whole lot of them, maybe ten or so at most.

>>252843840
Likewise. They don't go very far beyond what's right in front of you, what you're dealing with in the story, which is especially bad in Front Mission games.

When I get around to just like make mecha gaem I am dedicating six months at least just to mythopoeia and world building before doing anything else.

You literally punch little plastic bits out of a wire thingy, sand it down, a paint it, and stick the pieces together according to instructions. It's not like a jigsaw puzzle with intentional challenge.

Or is it?

Ramming Jets is pretty stupid though, suciding into someone's torso should be a kill since it makes sense, but there should be some sort of punishment attached to it like a rank demotion. Otherwise heavy and assault mechs just wind up useless because 30k C Bill Sullas will just keep ramming them.

What you're seeing in the arm is again and Votoms thing, it's a pressurized cylinder that allows the mech to punch with great force.

Many of these games came from a place of Japanese game developers being unable to make the licensed game they want so they ended up making a 'similar but intellectually distinct' approximation.

They couldn't make a Mobile Suit™ or an Armored Trooper™ game So they make a Assault Suit or Armored Core game.

Why didn't Gasaraki ever made it into SRW but fucking Patlabor did?

It still worked fine and everything.

Is there anything he can't do? Other than finding lasting happiness

Mech Assault 2: Lone Wolf is one of the best games I have ever played. It has mechs.

I'm on the hunt for an epic toaster, every single mechwarrior game at the ready.

Exactly what I'm talking about. And I'm not trying to hate on people liking what I don't like, it's just frustrating to see a mech thread with 300+ replies and only a handful of posters who aren't erroneously conflating mecha with mechs. Most people seem to think they're the same thing, but there is a huge conceptual difference between the two that affects gameplay in various ways. Not all humanoid-shaped vehicles are created equal.

They're exactly the same thing.

Dougram the Mecha and ShadowHawk the Mech.

Crabgunner the Mecha and Goliath the Mech.

Same shit different name.

The only reason people think there is a difference is ignorance.

Haah waaw.

Is this the new "WRPG vs JRPG"?
I personally don't care. As long as it's got mechanical robots and isn't a shit game, its probably up my alley.

My HDD was only big enough for a handful big titles back then. I had to think about what to remove before I could install anything. Now I hardly ever bother to uninstall a game after playing.

Makes me think about the people who complain about some current PC games demanding 20 GB or more from their HDD.

I think a single decently sized SSD would be enough if I started deleting games again.
