Has anyone spotted mechs that weren't in the original preview demo from a month or so ago?

[BellatorMonk]

So what I got out of the review footage and comments.

-The AI is dumb and just charges you non-stop and aims for arms. (guess I load the best weapons/ammo in CT and LRM Boat the campaign.)

-MASC damages you nonstop instead of after a certain point of over usage like in MW5Mercs and is therefore used rarely if at all in this iteration.

-Repair bays are basically useless and rare resulting in save scrums?

-Wait for the price to drop and modders to salvage the game.

I am so glad that I avoid this game as an early buyer. Linear gameplay.... yeh, I will pass.

i was all set to buy this game today, but seeing the themes in the reviews im thinking i might wait a bit. I honestly was hoping they would have learnt from the mods for MERCs and built some of that stuff right into the core game, but it seems they did not.

Like advanced AI, having the paper cut outs for all mechs in UI, better mechlab, more mechs,

also I feel that seeing how they named it MW5 instead of 6, everyone who owned MW5Mercs should have got a discount

Had a look through and seems that according to reviews that there really are only 16 Omnimechs to pick from.

duh this is a lore based time based and intro date based game.

This clan only had those 16 mechs in their arsenal. (they have a few more but will be saved for DLC like the Stone Rhino)

What do people expect. next time people need ot do their research into battletech lore when joining a tabletop accurate ruleset Mechwarrior game.

And these are Omni mechs the load outs can be so drastically different from one hellbringer to the next it has about as much build diversity as MECHWARRIOR 5 MERCS

are you unironically quoting IGN as a source for reviews?

Yes

Quotes from one of the reviews;

"it's a game beset by bugs that stand in the way of total victory"

"I rolled credits after my 25-hour playthrough"

Nope, think I'll hold off. Damn, wanted to play it but I'm not paying $50 for a buggy mess with only a 25 hour campaign (that I can probably do in less time) and zero replay value after.
