Is the story supposed to be inspiring/epic? They're so serious that it's incredibly cringey and CHEESY

[ALK]

Also Jayden looks so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weird....

[Wrayday]

The story is god awful. Bi-Polar leaders. An entire star made up of people who fought for the right to be there and doesn't want to be there.

Horrific line delivery.

Bad writing that makes people seem incredibly incompetent.

Case in point - Catch all writing with the stealth mission. I had a mech with no jump jets and the commander who specifically sent me here didn't bother knowing my load out?

Also... the COMSTAR lady delivers her lines so badly it comes across as she is painfully obvious she is hiding stuff from you. I don't think the devs were trying to make it that obvious.

And yeah.... Main Character is emo and looks like someone from a late 90's early 2000's boy band.

I really wanted this Game. was excited about it etc. But it seems the Devs did everything they could in key areas of this Game, to dissuade me from buying it.

All of the faces in the game, especially the mouths and the talking animations, reminds me of Wallace and Gromit.

Yeah the voice acting of the main cast is so....bland if not straight up terrible. The in-mission lines delivery are void of any personality. Compared to similar mission based-games like Project Wingman/Ace Combat.

Lol

Clanners are weird. That's why they lost despite having better tech.

The story follows the events of the 362nd assault cluster of the smoke jaguars, as portrayed in the blood of kerensky trilogy from 1989 to 1991 by michael stackpole.

i'm pretty sure you will have 5 waves (haven't finished it yet)
but first was santanders world (ckeck)
second was turtle bay (check)
and on third we are at courchevel (check)

so i think luthin and tukayyid are next, and those were battles, where the clans were beaten so hard, they agreed to a 15 year cease fire

so in book terms, those were some pretty epic battles and at the time i couldn't stop reading (yes i'm old enough to have read those books back then)
mechwarrior mercenaries 2 also had the battles of luthien and tukayyid and those were pretty neat back then when that game released.

Pretty neat background. Yeah I could see the background lore is pretty intricate with a lot of depth but hearing it in these cutscenes and narrations just doesn't give it justice.

[Azazel212]

hey guess they could have done the cut-scenes the 90's way with live action, like in mechwarrior 4 vengeance.

[zarthemad]

... the 1st act was a bad LARP session.
It got better towards the end. This series of events, is per 30+ year old battle tech history.
its accurate... however that 1st act was bad.... thankfully you can skip cutscenes

They remind me of Sid from Toy Story 1

The story let's say... average. Definitely not epic. May be a bit better for people who knows nothing about battletech.
