Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries - Released

[dburne]

Oh boy,

I was such a big fan of the old MechWarrior series back in the day, many hours spent in those games.

Now here we are after such a long gap, a new installment in the series released today.

 

 

 

My dilemma - have not played a game on monitor since Jan 2017 as I am a huge VR enthusiast. I so wished this game had support for VR, it would be natural for it. Did not think I would ever buy another game without VR support but might have to make an exception on this one.

S! 

 

Also a fan of Mechwarrior series. Those were games that glued you to the screen. Mechwarrior Online was too much of a FPS with mechs. I really hope Piranha Games has made a good game with a strong storyline. Considering to buy it.

exactly my thoughts, dburne

 

looking forward to it!

MW5 is such a disapointment for me. The best stuff from MWO, the costumization in the mechlab where i spent more time then playing, is gone or at least castrated to a boring point. Locked engines, restricted energy and ballistic hardpoints and no endo-steel or ferro upgrades. The deluxe package also is a joke. Dont buy if you liked MWOs costumization part more then the actual gameplay.

I don't even use VR, so it wouldn't affect me. But why would you launch a game like MW5 in 2019 without VR support? Its a perfect candidate for it!

Yeah right.

I suspect (hope) it will eventually come.

Oculus should throw some bucks/resources their way to help make it happen.
