I'm often asked to make a video dumping on MechAssault, and MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf.
Nah.
These games are good. They're not sims, they're not high art, but they're still good.
#Battletech #MechAssault
EEGG: What a let down, huh? You wait almost 4 months for something and then it's badly written and kind of kludged together. Why is the interlacing inconsistent in this video? Why is the game audio so peaky and clipped? Why is the script so incoherent?

Mech Assault 2 isn't perfect, but holy cow, the way mechs explode in this game is just about the most satisfying thing I've ever seen. Especially when the splash damage kills another, or sets off a chain reaction of three. Just glorious.

I never really understood all the hate Mechassault got until I got into Battltech. For me Mechassault was my introduction to Battletech, not the other way around and so I will always look back on this game with a shroud of nostalgia.

@JD260A9 3 года назад
I'm the same. Personally I think Mechassault could come back right now with improved graphics and story and it would get more people into Battletech/Mechwarrior. Lone Wolf had a dedicated LIVE community...so why not give it another shot?

The sound design in MA 1 and 2 is fucking amazing, I love how all the weapons sound, and the crazy noise of a mech's reactor overloading is fucking badass. The music is also incredible, it really fits the tone of heavy metal combat.

It took glorious advantage of the Xbox's capabilities at the time. It looked better than Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries which came out the same time this did. Less attention to detail but it looks great for an console Mechwarrior game.
@Sorain1
@Sorain1 2 года назад
There is no piece of music more memorable to me related to Mechwarrior/Battletech than, ironically, 'Getting away with murder'. Because absolutely nothing prepared me for that sudden tonal shift and a giant spider mech racing out of the fog to kill me. Nothing encapsulates how utterly out of place the WoB Jihad's nonsense truly was in the setting better than that. It's not intended at all, but it worked so well it stuck in my head. (To the point I dropped an 'ancient battle golem' into a D&D game as a boss once and forewarned my players via mentioning the OST for the upcoming boss fight. It wasn't the spider mech, I had far too much fun describing a Centurion without giving away what I was using.)
@yt-user03561
@yt-user03561 10 месяцев назад
​@@Sorain1At the time I wanted to know what a completed version if the "crawling mech" final boss would have looked like so I waited for years for a third sequal to the game. It never happened but I did just recently come across someone who made a mod in MW5 that added legs to the mech and made it usable in battle. He calls it, the "Uber Mech". Maybe there are somethings that were exclusive only to MechAssault and I don't know how much of the campaign story is actually canon. But I did like the different unexpected twists the game would throw at you vs in a normal MW game.

I just found Mechwarrior 5 on game pass today and thought it looked very familiar since I grew up playing Mechassult with friends. I ended up here after searching up what the differences between the two series were and needless to say, this was a very well put together video that answered every question I had. Great work!

@racer927
@racer927 6 лет назад
This is why I like your retrospectives, you praise both the good sides and bad sides of these titles and you seem pretty fair with them. I expected a lot of downer on this but I can see why MechAssault is a fun game if you're not nit-picky about BattleTech rules. Kind of like how AngryJoe (I can't remember the name) reviewed Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, he got the negatives out of the way but then went on to praise the aspect of how he feels confined with the tank cab perspective like being on a submarine or how your named, memorable crew members can die permanently FE-style. "It would've been weird if they let you into a 'Mech while still wearing the BattleSuit but that could've been an opportunity for more interesting gameplay." [cough] Living Legends [cough]
@racer927
@racer927 2 года назад
Funny I bring up Living Legends when it's steadily been nerfing BA in terms of ejection. All dedicated BA weapons and SRMs are actually removed when you enter a 'Mech, or any non-APC asset and ejecting from a 'Mech, VTOL, ATF, or bailing from a vehicle leaves you with just an SMG as if you were just a pilot, albeit a pilot equipped with JumpJets. I personally approved of the balance change from the community devs because it makes BA into their own dedicated way to play rather than just the ability to annoy your enemy by being able to eject from a 'Mech and then use an MP-PPC to snipe them out of their 'Mech, G-Nome style.

This is the only correct take when it comes to the Mech Assault games. They're good, stupid fun that's made for consoles with an interesting enough setting to draw in the masses. They're not bad games, and can't stand up to their Board/PC counterparts in terms of what true Battletech is - but nobody should really care about that.

Word of Blake was around long before the Jihad plotline but honestly IMO that was a huge shift in their MO. Other then taking Terra, which involved as much sneakiness as raw strength (They replaced a mercenary unit hired to reinforce Terra's defenses with their troops then launched a sneak attack during a training exercise to cripple and disorient the Comguard garrison forces while the invasion army approached) they were more secret deals and covert ops then out and out warfare until the early 2000s IRL. All of the sudden they are launching massive attack fleets across the Inner Sphere and unleashing all the WMDs everyone had agreed not to use for centuries.

I think my ultimate problem with MechAssault was my fear that this was the style of gameplay that would catch on over the more tactical "mechsim" gameplay of the PC games. Xbox was basically the next Nintendo during the early 2000s, and even as a young teen I could see the popularity of it taking over something that I really loved and cared about. Ultimately the franchise was just fuckin' dead after this so it didn't matter, but I appreciate your take on it. It's made me go back and re-evaluate why I truly did not like MechAssault at the time.

I remember these games, first time I was even exposed to Battletech. The hate for these was real, they were dismissed by Mechwarrior (3) fanboys at every turn and often held up as the reason the series declined. Yet here I am, a huge battletech fan today who went back and played the older ones, and it all started with these arcadey Xbox games.
@Chopstorm.
@Chopstorm. Год назад
It killed the series for a _very_ long time. Battletech declined into abandonware because Microsoft decided to push the Xbox games, while the PC games (despite selling better than Mechassault) were left in the garbage bin. The games have only just started to recently recover...almost 20 years later. It's awesome that it brought you to the series, but unfortunately the Xbox games did more harm than good.

I think PPC's in the fluff worked by hitting the target first with an Ion Charged, low energy, invisible laser... tacion burst or some nonsense. The "Man made lightning" would then do what lightning does and travel along the most conductive route... which is now the laser pulse you have emitted. The "tracking" of PPC's would happen if the target mech had moved significantly after getting tagged with the ions. Lighting being lightning it will happily track to the part of you mech that is not effectively a giant lightning rod. In the books they are always VERY CAREFULL not to describe to much how PPC's actual look or work. So I am not sure if it is an actual bolt of lightning or ifs its more like you see MW4 or WMO.

PPCs can only charge up to deal more damage if you have a PPC Capacitor, which is an optional upgrade for PPCs that increase damage at the expense of rate of fire and heat, however PPCs do not home in on a target. Directed energy weapons by their very nature are dumb fire because it is impossible to put a computer chip into a ray of light, projection of plasma, or stream of ions which is what a PPC is, a neutron gun or artificial lightning cannon.

This is a great series, thank you for doing this. I've just binged it in one sitting and you've inspired me to replay both Mercenaries titles. Would you ever do a video on the Piranha titles? Maybe together as a single vid - specifically on the checkered history of how it came about. IMO the games are.....mixed, but hugely important in the development and resurgence of the ]franchise as a whole with the updated art style especially finding it's way back into the TT game and finding a new audience. The much better HBS game probably doesn't happen without the Piranha games.

It also had to be the most satisfying to look at and most satisfying sounding mech game I have EVER played, and yeah, I played a lot of grinder as a kid. I also love the sound effects and visuals of the game, as they spared no expense going into detail. Looking back on it, the story REALLY has that early 2000s thing to it. I'd go so far to say that it's by far the only real bad thing about it.

And the talk of what should have been Mechwarrior 5 is where?

Would be cool to see a video on MW5 now that it's been fleshed out into a pretty damn good Mechwarrior game. It had a rocky start, but as it is now its probably my second favorite in the series after MW2+mercs.

I don’t get how Fans who played the tabletop version or the pc version of the battle tech universe, would have a biased hate on a game because it’s not meant for them. I am a huge fan of Titanfall but I don’t get mad at people who play Apex legends. I don’t like Apex but I’m glad it exists. It’s set in the Titanfall universe and got gamers into Titanfall and if a side game brings more attention to a series I love, I don’t mind.

It’s because they don’t like how it altered or outright changed some canon in the battle tech lore. Personally, I don’t see how the game has ruined an already thin canon enough to warrant hate. It could always take place hundreds and hundreds of years past the canon that was made initially, especially with elementals being in the game. The complaints about it being an arcade shooter are such bullshit considering these same idiots will praise MechWarrior as if it doesn’t use the same mechanics/play style.

Great! RU-vidrs tend to focus on fifth gen consoles/90s PC games for retrospectives mostly, so that Papa Roach/Korn era rarely gets attention. Good that you decided to do that video. How's the G-Nome review anyway?
