Our editor is deep into the main campaign and DLC for Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries at the minute. One of the elements of the game he's been really impressed with is the music. It's an excellent fit with the rock tracks from the earlier games and has that perfect metal on metal feel as huge mech clash on the battlefield.

This is the soundtrack added in for The Heroes of the Inner Sphere download content by Sean Kolton.

I've been playing a lot of MechWarrior 4/5: Mercenaries lately, and it really just makes me wish Bandai Namco would make like, an actually good, canonical Mobile Suit Gundam game.

It's really annoying that for the past decade or so, nearly all Gundam games have been PvP-focused mashup games that are basically just saying "Wouldn't it be cool if Amuro Ray could fight Domon Kasshu but also fight the guy from Gundam Seed at the same time?" Like yeah it would be cool! And honestly the Gundam Extreme Versus MaxiBoost Whatever the Fuck™ games look like the best games that have come out of the franchise recently. But then they were like "Okay what if we do that again, but rather than being a 2v2 arena fighter it's just fucking Overwatch? What if we make it so similar to Overwatch that we basically just copy the HUD almost exactly? What if we release this game TWO WEEKS before Overwatch 2 comes out?"

The thing that really bothers me about Gundam Evolution is it had a lot of potential to be a decent Just Another Hero Shooter if they had just put some thought into giving it an actual identity. The gameplay was actually pretty good, but they didn't do nearly enough to make it feel like a Gundam game. It was just Overwatch with a random assortment of mobile suits from 4-5 different universes. The fact that they went so far as to shut it down only a year after it came out is absurd. I'm not surprised that the game wasn't successful, but I'm confused at how they thought it would be, and then it was apparently so unsuccessful (meaning not enough people were buying the cosmetic shit for it to be profitable) that it wasn't even worth keeping the servers up and providing minimal support for people who did actually enjoy it.

Then there's Battle Operation 2, which feels more like what I think a Gundam game should be and is at least limited to UC content, but I just don't enjoy playing it. It's an overly-complicated free to play game that seems to reward players who play (or spend) a lot, which makes it difficult to get acclimated when you're just starting out. I haven't played it enough to feel like I can accuse it of being pay-to-win, but I've seen that argument made by other people, and it difficult not to feel that way a little bit considering how most of my matches have gone. And I'm sure a lot of that comes down to me just not playing the game enough to actually get good, but it just doesn't feel worth the frustration of trying to get there when the game seems average at best. I keep wanting to give it another chance, but I get frustrated every time I do. It certainly doesn't help that I've only been able to play on maybe three distinct maps, and specifically one of them away more than the other two.

Back to the point...

I've been playing MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries and MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries a lot over the past couple weeks. Neither of them are perfect games. They both have unique strengths and shortcomings. A lot of people would probably disagree with the things I like or dislike about them. But I think they're both a lot of fun, because they both make huge effort to make it feel like you're controlling a big bidepal machine loaded with weapons, and to make the combat engaging and satisfying.

The crazy thing about how much I enjoy these games is that I'm not even that interested in the greater BattleTech universe. I've played 20 hours or so of the turn-based video game from 2018 (although I need to go back to it because I don't really feel like I've experienced that much of it) but that's it. I know very little about the tabletop game. I've never read any of the books. I know the basic concepts in the lore and I know of the Houses and the Clans and all of that, but not much else. I know of some of the people but I don't know anyone's motives or ideals. I feel bad saying this, but I just don't care about the universe these games are set in. The plots of the games allude to much bigger events occurring in the background, but without context none of it means much to me. I don't think it's bad at all, but I think it's just not for me. It seems very dense and complicated, and I honestly think if I took the time to read some of it I would enjoy it. But I just don't have the desire to become engrossed within the world like I do with other fictional worlds. I think I'm just not that interested in the whole Feudalism, But in Space genre.

So it's just a bit of a shame that Mobile Suit Gundam games don't get that same level of treatment/production value. A game set in the UC timeline with a gameplay loop similar to MechWarrior: Mercenaries games would probably be my favorite game ever if it was actually any good. I just like good mech games. I loved Titanfall 2 even though I usually hate fast-paced multiplayer shooters. I really need to buy Armored Core 6 soon (speaking of, FromSoft made a Japan-only Gundam Unicorn game a while back, why not let them have another go?). There's so much potential to not only make good Gundam games that aren't PvP-focused, but also to make Gundam games that actually make sense canonically. Bandai Namco somehow felt confident enough to rip off Overwatch and thought that was a risk worth taking, but they don't want to make games that actually acknowledge there are stories and deep lore and a really good science fiction universe behind the big cool robots.

I'm playing mechwarrior 5 and there's this mechanic where rival mercenary companies can show up and help or hinder you if you're doing jobs in the territory they're operating in. It's supposed to be a surprise whether or not they show up, but they kinda accidentally made it obvious whether or not mercs will show up and attack you.

There's a difficulty 46 mission in this system that pays about $700,000, and a difficulty 27 (much lower difficulty) mission that pays $3,500,000.

I wonder which one will have mercenaries attacking me

#maybe they shouldnt add the bonus pay from killing mercs to the standard pay on the select screen

[badragonplays]

So I just finished MW5 mission X Marks the Spot which is a pirate mission and got the Corsair COR-PVT hero mech. this bad boy comes with a very strange array of weapons... keep or rebuild?

Let's say I'm interested in getting into the Mechwarrior series, but I literally don't know anything about it. Where should I start? Go full retro and try Mechwarrior 2 or try something newer? For context, I played the first Earthsiege game and it was quite a fun experience.

While I love it, Mechwarrior 2 is pretty granular, I think 4 is a good place to start. If you find 4 too autistic, try 5, if it's not autistic enough, try 2 or 3. Arguably the best single player Mechwarrior experience is Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries (even better with mektek,) but for that reason I recommend it as your second or third Mechwarrior game, because basically everything else will feel like a step down.

[nullconvention]

Playing MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries is an interesting experience because it's very much like "well, I'm playing as an absolute piece of shit, in terms of both morals and ethics even if I try to be the best person the game will let me be, but it is a fun game.
