MechWarrior 5: Clans

They got rid of walking around and admiring your mechs in your mech bay which is what I loved about MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries. The story is terrible. Voice acting is terrible. Character design is also terrible. Nearly all characters have the same face and eyes. Terrain doesn't seem scaled properly to size of mechs. Just seems odd. Also, they ruined the fun of upgrades in my opinion. Also, if you change difficulty at any point it restarts your entire mission. There should be a warning or something. Overall just mid. I wont be buying DLCs this is just sad.

Unstable base game and DLC. I've spent more time troubleshooting crashes then actually playing the game. I have an AMD GPU but from what I understand people with Nvidia GPUs are having their own issues. As for what I have gotten to play of the game, not impressed. Honestly the graphics seem better in Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries and the story is irritating. I am not super into the lore of Mechwarrior but the clans are portrayed as EXTEMELY arrogant, constantly underestimating their opponents and walking head first into traps. Honestly they remind me of the First Order from Disney Star Wars.

I was not sure about this edition of MechWarrior, but so far I like it better that Mercenaries. I like weapons can be upgraded instead of having to chase them accross galaxies. The Mech customization is much better, as you have different type of configurations for complete mechs or section of them. Combat is more interesting as tanks are not as easy to kill as in Mercenaries I think the story line is much better too... Overall i recommend this game, and if you're a Mechwarrior fan, this is a must play! Hope we get much more DLCs in future :)

they listened to how mech warrior 5 mercenaries was considered easy with the generated missions and decided to crank the game up to 11 with almost every level over staying its welcome and turning into a slog where you have to pretty much ace the first half to be able to survive the later half most bosses are more tedious than an interesting challenge a major step back in comparison to mercenaries.

I have tried to find this game likable in one way or another. But everything is just not quite right about it, From the choice to use Unreal Engine use that has unrealistic distances, magnification of targets, etc. To the general story-telling which is so far removed from the Clans as they were originally designed and written. I get to where I just skip the story completely because of all it's errors or ignorance of the lore. And finally the game play is terrible. Instead of balancing the game with believable numbers of NPC enemies they just throw 30 or more at you to try to give a since of difficulty/accomplishment. The numbers in battles are rarely if ever this outnumbered at least if the idea is for the outnumbered side is expected to win. I purchased the base game and the first DLC came with it, I don't think I will get either finished. It's just all bad. (Note: I do play this un-modded.) Maybe you could improve it with modding, but I'd rather suggest you play MW5: Mercenaries. It is far superior a game.

Mechwarrior fun, though I'm not as big a fan of the progression and control as Mercs. The graphics are great, and the controls are okay. I'm not sure if the command screen adds or detracts from the immersion. The story is interesting, though the lines and writing are awkward. They could have done a much better job of dialogue execution with the weird, "Clanner no-contractions" speak. It comes off as cheesy rather than interesting.

Unstable like everyone else. RTX 3080Ti. Updated to latest drivers. Various settings. Random Crashes. Too late to request a refund. Released in 2024? Still crashing...

I've played a lot of MW5: mercs and a lot of Battletech, and this is a very good addition to the series. It's much more story driven than MW5:mercs or Battletech, but it definitely as a "clan" feel, even if some of the contractions used by the characters don't result in an immediate punch in the face of Trial of Grievance. But seriously, this universe is great. Mw5 mercs and Battletech are both A+ games largely because of the mods. This game is by far the best looking of the bunch, seems reasonably performant on my 5070 at 1440 and my kid is getting into it, which is fun. I'm looking forward to playing coop with him. I think when this is on sale, it's an easy "just buy it and try it out" and if you enjoy robots blowing each other up, then 100% get this.

Story about how Wypepo are bad, lol

Game is short, but hella fun. Any fans of the lore, especially the novels of the Clan invasion, will appreciate the cutscenes.
