Mech feels weightless

[Nox]

My main gripe. Felt like I was playing Elden Ring with a mech skin, the mech feels weightless. Anyone else?

Try playing a super heavy tank. It's so weighty that you'd think your jump button is broken.

It feels like AC4’s weight to me, at least, if we are comparing AC games.

If your are used to any mechwarrior game, this game feels cheap. It's more like a dumbed down Destiny 2 or Warframe . But this is what Asians like, lightweight flying robots

How do you even draw that comparison. "Like I was playing Elden RIng". Nothing in this game feels like Elden Ring.
Mechs feel light because it's a hallmark of the series. Some mech games make mechs slow, clunky, and unwieldy like your MWs, Battletech, etc. Some focus on maching mechs nimble and quick - often in Japanese settings. Like this one.

I don’t see it have the “owns game” symbol by your name…

I’m just gonna assume bad troll.

Oh even better then, someone who probably hasn’t played an AC game before jumping on the hype train and got washed at the first boss.

Uhh, did you play Elden Ring? The lock on feels the same, the way the character moves on a dime with no weight feels like Elden Ring (like just orienting yourself in diff directions, left to right etc)..I could go on. Maybe it's been awhile, but I didn't get this vibe playing earlier ACs.. maybe I'm jumping the gun a little bit, I'm still using the default starter mech they give you at the beginning. But in AC5 it felt like my mech had weight to it, so the argument about 'japanese mechs are lighter' is kinda BS. I'm hoping when I mod my mech with different legs/whatever it won't feel so weightless? Maybe someone else can comment. If it stays like that I'm tempted to refund and that sucks because I was really hyped for this game. Take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxvFBn7nO3I (AC5 gameplay clip.) The mech has weight to it, you can tell. That's what I remember. It's not feeling like that right now.

Mechwarrior literally took designs from anime like Dougram and Macross

Battletech* but the point is the same. At least nowadays, many of the unseen mechs are finally being reintroduced with designs that aren't so blatantly just copy paste jobs.

So you can confirm different legs etc changes the paperweight mech feeling?

No it's just the leg that lets you hold the most weight. Until you unlock the thing that lets you go in a mission over weight that is.

Scaring me lmao, people are talking about lack of customization. How far away from the starter mech look/feel can we get I wonder.

Seems fine to me, I never liked slow mech games.
They have their own appeal.

There is enough space in the market to have both, boring slow mech games and fast paced mech games.
