The best Mechwarrior game of the last thirty years!

I'm thrilled and I can't understand the criticism of the graphics, it must be your systems, everything runs smoothly on max settings and I'm having a lot of fun. As you can easily see in my videos on Youtube. The story took me along from the beginning and motivates me immensely. The missions are also challenging but not so difficult that you would despair, and then it's the little details that put a smile on my face. Just the fact that the comrades in the radio have an animation during the fights took me back to the days of my youth, when it was quite normal in Wingcommander or Co. In most games of this kind, it's just static “hand-painted” images. But like this one, it just adds to the immersion. Thanks for this great game.

Technically issues and why can't you be me.

I still think the clans aren't canon in this game. They're too star trek terran empire.

And it doesn't help that the game takes play of the most bloodthirsty clans.

It's not really battletech fault that Star trek has become a parody. But they're surely copying battletech.

loads of lipsyncing issues, and then talking through clenched teeth, is a problem with the graphics designer. i've had a couple of lag spikes too but mostly smooth, there is a mission where my team mate had huge troubles with a cave, and when i swapped mechs it was all janky swapped again and it was fine. As for best mech warrior game in 30 years um no, mercs and commander are in my opinion both better and the UI and ai are both fairly average in this game, i mean sure AI not the greatest in MW5 mercs but that's better than this AI too.

I wished I had played Mech Commander... everyone having played it speaks highly of it.

Now for MW5: Clans, I like it a lot so long, though a few things and dialogues make me raise an eyebrow, when I am paying attention...

I was disappointed by the procedural feel of MW5: Mercenaries, the endless lists of inventory got me headaches (likewise in Mount & Blade II), without even speaking of the quality raising process of weapons, so...

I get why people are complaining, it's like your favorite restaurant with a huge menu says they made big new changes and now there's only five items to pick from. And the UI does take some getting used to. But I agree, the graphics are amazing (that first mission and DLSS aside)
