       MechWarrior 5: MercenariesOverview (1/4) I’ve only played MW2 way back in the day and having prefaced this one with BattleTech, I got quite the nice background walking into this one. Its a FPS (though you can choose an over shoulder view but that’s not nearly as fun) where you pilot a Battle Mech and shoot at other mechs, tanks, helicopters, buidings, to blow shit up. The really interesting part with this game compared to other FPS is instead of selecting the gun you want...#greyknightgames

       @greyknight I am an X-Com connoisseur. X-Com 1 WAS video gaming for my first few formative years of video gaming. I even beat X-Com 2 on hard!  The firaxis remakes were good too. I’ll add this to the list for after I burn out of EVE Online again.

       @Jagahati ahh heard of Eve but never tried. not a big online player myself but i'll have to keep this one in mind.you me both... along with countless others. X-Com UFO Defense is still my top fav but the firaxis formula is great. i see many using it, seems to derive from tabletop games. BattleTech is really neat as its less about cover (well kinda) and more about components. head shots, right arm, left leg, they all mean something. really great concept and spin to the formula

       @sj_zero hmm, didn't check GOG but i'll do the same, keep on standby til it shows up. MW2 is my only other experience and thanks for letting me know the others aren't great. no idea if MW5 compares well but i found it fun. played with the controller fine, just had to be clever with weapon groups, especially with lancemates. i'll poke around with MW3 and 4 as i don't want to set the wrong impression for 5 but i found it great. ftr MW5 is set before clan invasions so no MW2 mechs
