I showed my kid this ancient video when they got into battle tech. It might look and sound like crap now, but I was so vindicated when they made me play it three more times.

"Ammunition level... Critical"

Aah. This was the point where I realized the joy of stompy metal feet.

I love, all of this. Immediately this brought me back to the beginning. I've probably watched this intro hundreds of time.

Ditto. Do you know a good game these days to get that old mech sim feeling? There are lots of mech games now, but the few I've tried are just normal shooters with clanking sounds.

I have found mechwarrior 5 to still capture the classic feel, myself. I have a few mods on though, the mech customization made me sad until I opened it up.

Really want clan mechs in there though. Due to my mechwarrior 2 background, it doesn't feel right to not have image enhancement.

What mods do you recommend? Would it be lacking if I went with the Xbox version?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nah it's pretty good without mods, the mech customization is just a lot more limited.
