Have not heard about this game, how would you compare it to other mech games? I loved play Chromehounds way back when.
As others have said it's not a "MechSim" game like Mechwarrior or Chromehounds, but an X-com style turn based tactical game that updates the original table-top rules to 2018 PC gaming standards. Most of the rules facelift has been good design, but it's not a perfect game. The new expansion releasing next week looks to fix up the endgame content with chained missions as mini-campaigns called "Flashpoints" which is also the name of the expansion. The game does a really good job in capturing the feel of 'Mech combat from the TT and novels. Things like this SRM carrier are finally as dangerous in a PC game as they are on the TT. Seriously, click that link for some gratuitous missile porn.

Here's another of my first campaigns endgame Lance from a couple months back.

EDIT: Oh, also the Flashpoint expansion adds the Hatchetman. :black101: So I guess I'll be posting some fools getting the chop next week.

A huge gently caress off laser boat named Fimbulwinter. Not pictured: it murdering me with its antimatter cannons (the purple nope orbs) shortly thereafter. It's the final boss of Warship Gunner 2, a drat fine game on PS2 (in English) and PSP (with a rebalance and ULTRA HARD mode, but no English).



You can barely make out the "Great King of Terror" in this one, but it's a bit of a joke.

I've only watched a friend play Destiny 1/2 but my main comment was those are "really nice sky boxes shame about the game", there's one that was underground and had a huge orb computer thing in the distance and a stone/metal cityscape ruin leading up to it that was really fantastic.

That's about my experience with the game, too frustrating to keep me coming back. Really pretty though.








I just switched weapons while taking a bunch of screenshots to get a clean image, but no photo mode is annoying.

MJ is at the museum and is only interested in two particular globes.



But don't worry, she gets what's coming to her. A suckerpunch to the back of the head.



There's more than one character in the game who can turn into Mr. Negative.



Classic trashy Bugle.



This EMT is so fed up with me. Or he's smiling for the selfie. Hard to tell with his mask on (hey, that's what people say to me all the time).



In the Scarlet-Kaine suit scoping out some evidence.

I've been really interested this, growing up in Richmond and having history degrees, but at the same time I feel extremely 100% confident the playerbase is horrible and the Confederate team fills up immediately and everyone waits for people to join the union side

I think any game that depicts the Confederacy and Union as morally equivalent will have a toxic fanbase. What I would love would be a Wolfenstein-style game where instead of slaughtering Nazis you slaughter Confederates and slave owners.

Every streamer I watched play it had to immediately mute the VOIP if they played confederate.

It's interesting that you bring up Wolfenstein, since you could play as the Germans in Enemy Territory and I don't recall it ever having this issue.
