You've used this analogy of pilots vs. robot drivers many times before, and you did explain it to me in chat once, but I dont recall it. Can you elaborate it again?Cyril wrote:any of the mech 2 series beats the others hands down.
it is the directional JJs that turn the game into a bunch of pilots instead of robot drivers.
There is no such thing as "free to play" with any game --casual (mobile) or console/pc based-- that has micro transactions. There probably should be a new way of categorizing these type of games instead of free to play.Cyril wrote: Mechwarrior Online was fun till it became a "pay to win" game instead of a "free to play" game.
I do agree that MWO does over charge, but maybe this might be due to PGi trying to buy out the publisher, and have the game design and rollout back in their hands. Unfortunately, I think their pricing will remain the same until they can stabilize their cash flow after they did buy out the publisher.IronChefBoyardee wrote: I've been getting some hours into MW:O, and it's my favorite Mechwarrior game, mechanically, but it's so money grubbing it's disgusting.
Mechcommander 1 and 2 were great games. I wish they would do another game like it.Cyril wrote:any of the mech 2 series beats the others hands down.
Mechcommander was a pretty fun game till we all learned to bring a mine layer. then it got boring and they never nerfed the minelayer. we should get a few gmae of mechcommander going
Unfortunately I wasn't able to play MW:LL. By the time I got a PC that could handle Crysis, and Crysis (and the required expansion) itself, the community was almost gone and MWO was appearing on the horizon.Madsonovich wrote:MWLL was pretty cool and I really would've liked to see it developed more, but nothing beats MW2 games.

I read a thread on the MWO Forums today, where some people have confessed to spending literally in upwards of $1,000 USD for MWO digital content. I think I nearly fainted. The Devs at one point even charged $500 for a gold skinned mech packs, and while at the time I thought it to be the most incompetent/greedy business decision ever made, it seems a matter of fact that some people do actually spend this kind of money. I see people scattered across the forum who actually "pre-ordered" a $40 USD Urban Mech due to come out I think April... where the usefulness is questionable outside of beer can jokes.LordNova2 wrote: Not to mention what they are charging for their digital content, at least when we paid for all these other MW games (good or not) we can still play them long after the developers have sold their rights to it and ended their support for the game, and if not we still have the physical media to the game to try and do something to make it playable again. Whenever PG goes belly up; that is it, all that cash you wrapped up in MWO is gone, no installation media, no servers left to connect to play it again with, not even a game box or installation disc left over to display on your shelf with the rest of your BattleTech collection.
Sorry to drone on about MWO so much, but it really sticks in my craw.
