Just in case anyone is wondering this game is real loving poo poo and you shouldn't play it. I'm also I'm pretty sure the OP was an honest to goodness SimCity 2013 defender. Should tell you everything you need to know.

oswald ownenstein posted:It would be nice to have a good MW game that has a campaign and all that but the goons here are inflating how much of a turd it is. Did goons inflate how much a turd SimCity 5 is? You defended that one too. World class OP showing us the light that is PGI's vision.

Mercury_Storm posted:The definite sign of a dying MMO is when the controlling company adds in tons of expensive and noncompetitive cash shop bullshit. If you ever played and liked Anarchy Online, take a look at the burning trash pile that Funcom has turned that into now. Maybe write up a will and draft a good suicide note in advance. Gold plate your mechs for low low price of only five hundred real American dollars. Watch out the friendly fire though! Did they add anymore cash shop bullshit since then? The gold plate fiasco was the last time I was in on the loop of Mechwarrior hijinks. oswald ownenstein posted:Holy poo poo dude Sorry dude but if you make a habit of recommending/defending games that everyone hates you're going to get friction. SimCity 5 and MWO are basically as close as you can get to universally reviled games. Maybe you should stop being "the guy" who defends lovely games beyond reason?

oswald ownenstein posted:people can make their own choice They already did. You claim not to not know what happened to the old thread but I'm skeptical of that. To refresh your memory; the thread and the game were both so lovely, and it's defenders so delusional that the thread was moved to GBS and given the greenlight for poo poo posting. The thread lived out the rest of its miserable existence there and we've been MWO free ever since. "The people" of SA have already made their choice.

Well Microsoft (or whoever the gently caress) did a great thing and gave PGI the exclusive use of the Mechwarrior license until like 2018 I think? Cross your fingers for Mechwarrior Online 2. I'm sure they'll have learned a lot by then! Maybe they'll even put community warfare in it.

When Forbes.com writes about your outrageous pricing model I think something might be wrong!  Even the "baseline score is 80%" gaming media says PGI is a developer you can't trust. (from Gamefront)  Ouch.  Even Star Citizen fans are wary of MWO. That's right, even the folks who believe Chris Roberts is a visionary developer realize how terrible MWO and PGI are.

By the way, in case any was hoping for a new Mechwarrior game... Hope you can wait for the license to expire. Thanks Microsoft! (Petition didn't work. As it turns out Obama isn't in the business of personally revoking commercial franchise licenses.) oswald ownenstein posted:BTW, this game is a hell of a lot better than the flaming turd that was Tribes : Ascend.

Orv posted:Chomp, how much money did you give PGI when they were doing Founders? I have a suspicion it may be revelatory. $0 during Founders, and $0 at any other time as well. I never paid any money for MWO in any way. Thank goodness! I have in my entire life spent a grand total of $25 on F2P games, and that's split between three different titles. They usually just aren't worth it. EDIT: Realized I could prove it...  No transaction history.  Joined after closed beta/early whatever concluded. No founder title or anything.

Bubbacub posted:They added cockpit shake during jumping which was good, but people complained about motion sickness. (lol) My favorite hilarious thing about jumping is the voice that warns you about your fuel levels. In classic PGI fashion it's totally useless. The voice will warn you that you have 25% fuel left, and again when you're at 0%. But going from 25% to empty takes like a second on your average mech, while the warning takes 2-3 seconds to play. So you will be totally empty before the 25% warning even finishes playing. And of course it's the classic poo poo-designed message where the only pertinent word in the whole sentence is at the very end ("WARNING... Fuel level at... 25%). I just love that PGI fucks up even the little details. oswald ownenstein posted:If anyone wants to submit their name I'll add. So far mine is the only one up there. Don't worry oswald. You've always lived in your own little world, I'm sure you can play in it too.

pixelbaron posted:Whatever conclusion you come to, the fact remains that Microsoft is happy enough with what they are doing to give them the license until the end of time. Are you dying of cancer? Because that's the only way they have it until the "end of time". They have provisional exclusivity until 2016 at which point Microsoft can decide to extend it if they're still happy.

Ok, but the issue here is exclusivity. I don't think anyone expect Microsoft to actually revoke the Mechwarrior license from PGI (although they would in a just and caring world), but that doesn't mean they have to grant them exclusivity. When 2016 comes around Microsoft can easily decide to start selling license access to other game makers as well.
