Just found this channel. I'm 53 and an old school Mechwarrior so I tend to gravitate towards any Battletech content on RU-vid. I must admit I really am impressed with your channel and the people posting here. I'm proud to like and subscribe. Very professionally done video/presentation. Wish the game was Jade Falcon but I'll settle for the Jags.

The one thing that kept me disconnected to Mechwarrior was scale. I really never felt that these mechs were big and bulky as depicted in the cutscenes. Kind of wish there was more weight to them.

@ostelaymetaule 3 дня назад

Not only I cried the same since early footage of mw5, they even probably listened to one of the community voices and added poorly designed human figures and vehicles on the maps. Though the issue is complex and needs a good artist director to fix, but unfortunately for PGI, unreal engine doesn’t come with artistic skill out of the box

@comguaf8093 3 дня назад

that is quite hard to make if you don't have imersive perspective just like titanfall and titanfall 2 does while you play, in MW5 mercenaries we have that perspective but not during gameplay, I woudl like take off the mech at least once during gameplay to get that scale perspective

@airtightGiraffe 3 дня назад

They always mess up the scaling of foliage (grass and bushes mainly, sometimes even trees) which again messes with the players perception of scale. It annoyed me massively in every modern mw game, it was even the case in the round based battletech by harebrained. Stuff like this is much more important than many seem to think it is, the devil lies in the details.

@drpainglove3389 3 дня назад

I agree, this is a damn shame because I absolutely love the weapon effects in this game, missile smoke, lasers and autocanon fire look amazing. But the foliage looks like it's sized for a person not a mech. The sound also needs work. This could be fixed but I'm not holding my breath.

@Newt211 4 дня назад

It sounds like they haven't hired the right person for the sound department. Sounds are so important in games, if you look at a game like Hearthstone, there is a sound for everything with a tiny animation. Things that you don't even realize until you stop and start to analyze where the sounds come in, and when. Hammerting a dwarf mining game suffered from a lack of sound effects. There are many times where I asked myself why isn't there a meaningful sound when I do that, or this? All of those things bring people into the game and when they are missing it draws you out of the world. Likely this will not be addressed by release. It should of been in already with all the feedback and testing they have done. They are not going to add a sound pass, the sounds are what they will be and will remain.

@Sikamikanico_ 3 дня назад

No, doing a final audio mix is perfectly doable. They're not adding sounds, but mixing the ones that already exist appropriately. I think it'll be much better.

Marauder IIC isn't in the game (yet), although if they do expansions it very well could end up in the game at some point. From what I have seen it is the 14 out of the original 16 clan invasion mechs, with the two missing being the Dasher and something else that I can't think of off the top of my head. I know one of the replacements is going to be the Arctic Cheetah. Steel Vipers haven't been mentioned at all in the game. Maybe you get to fight them, but as far as I know it is looking to be heavily story focused on Clan Smoke Jaguars Invasion corridor and their fight against House Kurita and the Draconis Combine

Yes we do want a better story MechWarrior game but did it have to come at a cost of EVERYTHING else? They could have even copy pasted the MW5M features into this, people would have been fine with it. Sounds like I'll hold off on this one. Sure better graphics is nice but overall nothing changed from MW5M apart from stripping all sandbox stuff out which did make the series more enjoyable for BattleTech fans. (AND MODDABLE) MW5M had mods to fix the AI a little bit, however as with most LONG running games with MANY DLC, many modders have moved on leaving broken/incompatible mods left behind.

So, got a true story to tell ya...think you will get a kick out of it. I'm a bit older than y'all, but I still remember when the very first Mechwarrior came out! One of our friends had a PC with color ( a rarity back then for sure!) And we ALL chipped in to buy it! We took turns playing it. In 1990 I went to HS for my freshmen year...and what do I see in the middle of the library....A COLOR PC!! See all we had before that were the monotone either orange and black or green and black PC's that you would play things like Oregon Trail or Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? (still love those games...lol) So I go up and just happen to notice...there is NO password assigned to the PC...(0.o) Insert devilish grin here... So I take Mechwarrior and install it, hide the launch command and was content to just play it during my lunch break. Until the librarian caught me that is...but it took them months...lmao!! I have high hopes for this game, but we have all known in advance their AI for your teammates is just $#!T, has been since the games inception. What will be fun is seeing what the modding community will do with it.

@ludewich День назад

I have played MW5 for hundreds of hours and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I feel somewhat disappointed that the visuals of a game in 2024 (almost 2025) leave the same impression as those of the 2019 MW5, and even that was perceived as ... well, outdated. A friend of mine refunded it because he wanted to see if the franchise might be something for him, but he expected more visual quality. The primary aspect is how they implemented scale. The video sequences look good, and the scale is what you expect from a mech. In game, you feel like a normal human. Look at mechs in Helldivers 2: they are supposed to be about 3 meters high, but they have a feeling of weight and size to it which outclasses that of mechwarrior 5. A secondary aspect is that visuals look rather outdated as well. As for netcode: In the video you see a mech stuttering through the display (something which was common in coop play in MW5 as well). Apparently it is the same sub-optimal net code.

@Atourq День назад

As others have put it, the mech movements look “off”, add your concerns of weight and scale.. that’s concerning. Mechwarrior 5, at least for me, didn’t have too much issues in that department. However, all your other notable concerns are, iirc, issues MW5 had upon release as well.

Love that you recorded in 21:9 (Ultrawide) so I can see what this will look like on my monitor. I wish more people did that! This game is looking great, I am very excited to try it and hopefully they can get the AI to be decent.

Can't wait to see this turned into a sandbox game with full mechlab support. Bring on the mods, the heart of any game in the Battletech universe!

I get a lot franchises simplifying the game to increase appeal but they should just include a mode to have more complex controls and mechlab, the 'expert' or 'nerd' mode. For a game like MW it would be a natural progression once they get the hang of the more arcady mechassault style you are referencing and actually increase engagement and possible obsession down the line (creating demand for DLC & add-ons)..

I always do a few MW 5 missions a week with my cousin and the biggest complain we have had has always been the AI. It's the main reason I hate defence missions because the enemy mechs are spawning 2km and they get stuck there. The ai mods don't help either.

If you're truly clan then it needs to have wireframe. If it does, day 1 purchase, if not then...

@mesarthim640 3 дня назад

Why no windowed zoom? Eeeh... And that order wheel, a bit too console-y. It's a title I'm hyped about but we will quickly need mods.

AI again? that was the most annoying thing with mercs for me... if they haven't improved it in 5 years, I doubt they will do in one month...

@sengsythao1896 2 дня назад

hmm...not sure about the movement of the mechs. It seems too quick and arcade like. 'Sigh' I dont know about this one gents.

Not looking forward to the trash ai teammates , that was one of the big problems with mercenaries for a while

@Cenot4ph 3 дня назад

It seems that haven't learned much from MW5 thst the AI is still garbage. Ill await the final review, but it's worrying the same issues are still in this new game

@djguckie 2 дня назад

What's with the weird strafing? Thank God it's on game pass. That arcade movement might kill it for me.

What's with the movement? No momentum? It seems like just a normal WASD shooter now.

Where did you find the MW5 clans’ traitor music?

@ShadowSniperUK 3 дня назад

Big fan from the early days. But I hope they sort the animation out for walking because at 1:12 that mechs skating all over the place. That shit needs sorting!

@XboxEra 3 дня назад

Worth mentioning, that particular evening, one of the guys was dropping packets like a mad bastard, so it may have effected the animations somewhat.

@kyuirah 2 дня назад

It looks like the mechs dont control like tanks now. So you can stutter step and AD spam which will be disturbing.

There are two movement option schemes, FPS mode and classic mech mode.

I also noticed you have a Patreon. I’m 53 as I pointed out in my other post and medically retired. As a result I get paid once a month on the 3rd. Since I quit smoking I have some disposable income now and will happily contribute to your Patreon on October 3rd. It won’t be much but I want to contribute to show my appreciation and admiration for the work you’ve all put into your channel. Ty again for the content, kind words and to the kind people in the comments posting. It’s refreshing to see gamers coming together, talking and sharing our mutual love of giant robots. Kenneth aka Cynnister.

Is it me or does rhe movement look closer to mechassault rather than the more sim movement? I personally prefer the more omni movement of mechassault and hope there could be an option to have that movement. While i enjoyed my time with MechWarrior 5 mercenaries. The more sim movement just never really felt fun to me, that and i was hopeing for a more narrative experience with that game. So im happy there is more of a narrative in this game. And since its based durring the clan invasion. I hope i can finally be able t step into my beloved Cougars cockpit again.

@CRAM079 2 дня назад

I wrote this comment right before he started talking about the controls. I am a happy MechWarrior right now.
