It took me more than a few minutes to realize that this is posted on Lemmy and not in one of the small subreddits I still follow.

As a loooong time battletech fan I am SO happy with the resurgence this franchise is seeing, and that PGI has actually listened to and involved fans in the creation and maintenance of their products.

For those who aren't familiar, Mechwarrior Online, originally relased in 2013, was in end-of-life maintenance mode when PGI (the dev company) decided to effectively hand control of the game over to a small group of dedicated fans. That group, now called "The Cauldron" have brought in a slew of new content and balance updates, even new game modes.

This, coupled with an AMAZING game released in 2018by Harebrained Schemes, as well as some really bad moves by Games Workshop,has lead to major resurgence in the Battletech franchise.

For everyone else who remembers playing Mechwarrior 2 that came with a joystick back in 199whatever, I think this will be a great next chaoter in the story!

I remember that massive "joystick". My friends and I would talk about it all the time, it was such am awesome idea. But none of us ever got it.

How is MechWarrior 5? I've been on the fence about getting it. I know people have said it's good if you have one of the DLC.

If you play on PC, the game gets really great with mods...in vanilla its good, but gets repetitive.

Id recommend getting the game with the DLCs on sale, play through vanilla at first, then when it starts to get stale, dive into the rabbit hole.

It was good. Not necessarily great. More vehicular combat, less sim. Typical UE graphics. Good music. Mediocre missions. Best with mods and multiplayer.
