Mech feels weightless

[Nox]

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

Yes the mechs have paperweight physics. It is not a mech simulator in any sense, it is an fps game where you are skinned as a mech

This is how it's supposed to feel.
Armored core 1-4 was very 'flighty' if you think this game is fast...

Check that, mech clocks at 3,000kph.

Not true at all, AC:4/FA are outliers to the entire series as far as movement speed and flight but still had similar controls and mechanics unlike this game.

You're playing with a light mech, try the tank body, it feels insanely beefy.

Then those outliers are the peak of the franchise.
Also I've played 2 and 3, and they still had high flight, and quick boosting wasn't like 'dodge-rolling' like it feels in 6, so...I disagree.

The Armored Core isn't even vaguely weightless in how it's modeled.

It is, arguably it's one of the first mecha games as the first Mechwarrior released in the late 80's. Which would make it one of the oldest mecha video game series that's still kicking.

1) Battletech is based on Licensed, Derivative Work of Sunrise & Studio Nue.

2) The 5 mainline Mechwarrior games were all produced by entirely different Publishers and development studios. The people who made Mechwarrior 1 would go on to create Earthsiege after losing the license, the people who made Mechwarrior 2 went on to make Heavy Gear, the people who made Mechwarrior 3 effectively went out of business, and the people who made Mechwarrior 4 were Microsoft'd out of existence.

In turn Mechwarrior 2 was a bit of a stand out success due to being a relatively early stand out 3D title, and the franchise has otherwise been relatively niche. On the other hand while FROMSoftware did shift away from producing Mecha titles for the past few years, they were _the_ Mecha game developer for the Playstation 2/3 era.

3) The Meta in Mechwarrior 1 was to buy a Locust and gleefully saw legs off, while playing Mech Merchant until the final mission.

4) As the endless caterwauling about 'Nascaring' in the MWO forum demonstrates, the "muh slowz" sentiment some people are fond of for some reason isn't particularly viable in Mechwarrior...

5) Armored Core has and continues to support a number of different styles of play styles.

Ultimately Studio Nue proposed highly mobile Mecha, because that's what a sane interpretation of Fusion powered vehicles would involve. FASA then opted to have their versions on paper traveling at speeds that mirrored existent vehicles in the 1980s, effectively under the presumption that the average American couldn't understand the implication of Fusion P/W ratios.

I feel like the people referencing Mechwarrior are effectively just referencing power trip feelings they remember from prior Mechwarrior titles, while likely forgetting the aspects of those titles that were challenging.

Or maybe people are just being really disingenuous in effectively asking why Armored Core isn't Chromehounds, and thus effectively asking FromSoftware to make another Chromehounds title in arguably one of the most dysfunctional ways possible...

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.

I have to say, that V gameplay looks insane, is there anything like that in VI?

I'd also like to know. Watching that gameplay footage makes me sad thinking it won't be here. Even the way there's that square scanning reticle infront of you that gives you stats on the enemy, hits are shown, etc. It was alot of fun to play.

Weightless vehicles? Atlas ways 100 tons lol.

[Call Sign: Raven]

My mech has been feeling very weighty, very chunky. Not sure how much slower and weighter you want things, but I think MechWarrior 5 has that feeling, right?

You aren't talking about the starter mech I hope. Because "Lol. Lmao."

Sure feels that way right! (sarcasm) Not at all like my Elden Ring character with a mech skin.

[Proper Skux]

I have no idea how your mech with flight and repeatable jump jets can feel weightier than some dude in chainmail that barely hops and takes half a second to recover from his roll lmao.
