What are some good mech games?
What are some good mech games?
Armored Core
Mechwarrior
Strike suit zero
There are none,
I guess you could lower your standards and play MWO?
I've been playing slave zero lately, cyberpunk much game from 1999
It's pretty fun but I'm not interested enough in it to finish it I think
Unless you're willing to play 20 year old games look at a different genre. Mechs are dead.
Imagine a modern version of this made by actually competent people unlike that crowdfunding scam thats still floating around.
anthem
you'll find a server mostly full during the day and its now getting new updates I play it while waiting for
>mech skiing
Why? doesn't that defeat the purpose of a mech if it moves like a human? Mechs are about controlling a huge fuck off tank with legs.
Besiege
Titanfall
Kerbal Space Program if you have the autism
>Kerbal Space Program if you have the autism
Few do, it takes a special breed to pull shit like this off.
It is the best despite everything
I can't stop won't stop playing
Incredible
The meme around MWO is that it's bad, despite being actually good... for what it is
It's not what we wanted, it's not what it could have been, but it's still really fun.
I guess it's mainly just for flanking.
Fuck I just realized what game this was lol
That is very impressive.
Mechwarrior living legends
Brigador is pretty fun, large variety of mechs/vehicles/weapons, almost everything is destructible and I love the style.
Play Mechwarrior 3
More mech games should allow you to splat pathetic humans
The Mechwarrior series peaked with Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries. I believe MW3 was a solid successor in terms of campaign but the engine the game ran on was total shit, you could crash the game by firing enough autocannons at once because the game could only handle something like 8 sounds at the same time. The only good thing the later games pulled off was the strict mount points. MW2 was more faithful to the table top game for builds but it made for some bizarre builds like jump jet Daishi missile boats. Mechwarrior was always about the storyline missions, not just smashing people in multiplayer. I have no faith that Mechwarrior 5 will surpass MW4 let alone good storylines like MW3, MW2:M or MW2.
I'm actually trying this guy over here, love it
There's a lot of dakka builds that can be done really well with this, and it's a really decent brawler
The cockpit is really small though, can't see shit from my sides but that's because i'm accustomed to fighter jet ones
what the fuck am I looking at here chief.
the absolute fuck did you do to that madcat
>40kph top speed
Yikes
>I want my mechs to be speedy anime fairy shit
fuck off
For me, it's the Bushwacker.
Isn't it an Anihilator?
No it's not allowed to anihilate and go fast at the same time.
I'm making one dont worry, it will be done in 6 years
The reason to buy an Xbox along with Halo back in the day.
Not a true mechwarrior game for us purists but its good at whats its trying to be. The sequel has a pants on head retarded storyline tho.
It's different, but it's by no means bad. There's nothing wrong with having a different style of gameplay as long as it delivers.
Titanfall 2 campaign
Battletech
who would win?
Me, the betting bookie
lol no
Titanfall 2 is the greatest mech game ever created
I've been meaning to put together a papercraft Thanatos. My favorite mech, fell in love with it in MW4 because of the 360 rotation.
game name?
heavy gear.
how the fuck does one even play mechwarrior games from before 4? I doubt they'd even run on windows 7, let alone 10.
Ace Combat (arguably mecha)
Armored Core
Strike Suit Zero
Zone of Enders
but vuh told me battletech is heavy on the sjw writing
man i loved that animated series
does it cookoff all the enemy's ammo if you fire them all at once?
Wouldn't of had a problem with it if it hadn't harkoned the death of the series
Ok here is 75 tonnes of metal blasting lasers, missiles and bullets at you while running at 86kph.
I'd honestly be more concerned with the awful story than the sjw stuff since at least that is contained on the patreon pilots
>thinks western equals REALISM
lol
Yawn simulator
Locust gang where you at?
Not really, its basically contained to a few pilots.
You should be more concerned that the game is bad even with roguetech.
I played 150 hours in Battletech and I loved it.
Also, I really, really want Armored Core like game on PC. Last Raven style, fuck PS4 ones.
>those horrible death animations
They went as far as to make a unique one for every damn clone
Reporting. Years have passed and I can still make heavies and assaults mad.
Into the Breach
This!
Battletech fags; what state is the game in now? I’ve seen the expansions for cheap but I only have about 30 hours in the base game. I found it hard desu, some missions really felt untested
The Surge
power armor faggots need not apply
>no game that's basically warthunder with mechs and no p2w shit
It's a human-sized mech
mechs have pilots not wearers
You could say that Warren is piloting his power armor, or that a mech pilot is wearing their mech.
Mech Assault 1, 2
i guess you have to know what a pilot is and not be dumb. but you do you user ;)
I'm just more well-read than you are, and I have better command of the English language. I use words creatively. Let me guess, you're ESL?
being obtuse not is creative, but like i said you do you user
Not capitalizing letters or using punctuation is also very creative, you do you as well.
no one said it was creative delusional tardlet lol try harder tho
Gundam vs Zeta Gundam and Mechassault are top tier. The new Battletech also looks cool but Yea Forums hates it because muh sjw.
Is there a new Votoms game?
Pretty mediocre but worth a pirate.
DLC add some alright stuff but not worth even close to $40 on top of the base game.
Be more ignorant.
trying so hard. cute.
Jesus christ I long for a good mech game, if mechwarrior 5 isn't good I'll probably just give up on the genre forever.
Called it.
Fast as fuck boi
youre adorable user
>working mech3 physics
How did you do it?
MWO isn't bad at all if we're strictly speaking about the gameplay. The problem is the sketchy ass devs and the extremely unfair "free to play" model. It takes forever to grind out a good mech and they're stupidly expensive to buy with real money.
>store.steampowered.com
No matter how many times I give turn based things a chance they are always incredibly boring.
Why couldn't this at least be an RTS.
Yo.
What would you like to see in a mech game?
Give me some hard truths.
Look up the RG Catalyst Mechwarrior Quadrology. MW3 works with Win10 with zero problems.
Its turn based because its based on the tabletop game. I personally really like turn based but its not for everyone. You could play SupCom or Mechcommander if you want RTS mechs
YOU'RE breathtaking!
Vanquish gameplay but with big bulky russian designs instead of weebshit
That doesn't make any sense at all.
Have sex
With each other
Thats why it will work.
Played supreme commander 1&2, but those game are fucking 10 years old at this point.
I need something new, and you turn based people get good shit all the time while we get nothing.
Anyways, The Surge.
Where the FUCK is Mechwarrior 5?
power armor faggots need not apply
gundam breaker levels of customization
msgo 50v50 gameplay
Well there's Iron Harvest, think World War 1 with mechs. Theres also planetary annihilation but thats controversial. Hate to say that other than that you're kinda out of luck.
The way the gun doesn't animate when firing bothers me.
It's a human-sized mech.
mechs have pilots not wearers
Developed by Project Aces.
fall this year
You could say that Warren is piloting his power armor, or that a mech pilot is wearing their mech.
September. But no E3 showing... colour me concerned.
Thanks
Iron Harvest looks great, I'll definitely fuck with that when it comes out.
I'm just more well-read than you are, and I have better command of the English language. I use words creatively. Let me guess, you're ESL?
I remember when we played this in beta with Yea Forums !
Good times
youre adorable user
i guess you have to know what a pilot is and not be dumb. but you do you user ;)
Anyways, The Surge.
there is a severe lack of mech images
The Surge 2 is coming out soon, and the protagonist is a blackedy-blacko woman! Aren't you all excited!
Not mecha
It's a human-sized mech.
So power armor?
>No one posted Soul Dozer yet
Come on
for me? its mechs with tentacles
I can pilot a plane, doesn't mean it's a mech.
You could say that Warren is piloting his power armor, or that a mech pilot is wearing their mech.
>tfw You realize that the Surge games are a Centurions Simulator
it literally is a mech.
What is the purpose of tank on legs?
you are wrong. a mech is a featherless biped
It's cool
For me? Its beast-shaped mechas.
Looks cool

Mechwarrior 4 mercs was the last good mech game if you only like single player games. Mechwarrior living legends is the last good multiplayer mech game, and it's still alive and completely free. I desperately hope the upcoming mw5 isn't shit. All it needs to do is be roughly as good as a game released in 2002, or have some basic modding support so I can fucking fix it myself but I have very low expectations.
This reminds me of that focus testing on kids Simpsons episode.
for me? its quadrupedal mechs
Armored Core 2-3, Nexus.
Also Armored Core 5
i thought i was the only one who ever did this stupid shit, its dumb as hell because you just die instantly to anything.
rip chromehounds
For me? its T H I C C mechs
Are mechs skiing on ice not cool?
For awnser and 4 were the peak of the series and could have been the best games ever made if they were on pc with modding support. 5 and vd were shit.
>Armored Core 5
Im sure you mean Verdict Day right user?
right?
for me? its bipedal tentacle-looking arm transforming racecar robot mechs with energy swords
Except they hand out free premium time through easy event missions like candy and taking a mech from pure stock to fully skilled and equipped will only take as long as it does for you to get familiar with it. The monetization incentive is almost non-existent, which is why they're reporting themselves to be in maintennance mode due to relying entirely on flagging mech pack sales for years.
Potato steeringwheel players will always complain about being behind the curve while in Tier 5, of course, not that we've had enough players for Tier to matter for a long time.
Shame such neat designs were wasted on Destiny
Meh i like vd it wasn't as good as 4 or fa but i had my fun with it
>still no Metal Fatigue sequel
For me? its flying super agile mechs with microwave arms (any modern game with that feel to recommend ?)
Not as cool as snowboarding mecha
At lease there's the gog release. Before that is was a pain in the ass to setup.
gog really needs to put MechWarrior and Heavy Gear on there.
Daemon X Machina maybe?
MAAAAH OOOH CROSSS
MAAAAH OOOH CROSSS
MAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH CROSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Why are the guns so low?
I know about this game, would be cool on PC, too bad its on the playskool console that is less powerful than my mobile phone
>asymmetrical designs
that shit it's such a fine line between too much and too little its a pain to find good stuff.
imagine missing out on good games becuase of how you perceive a fanbase that will have no bearing on your gaming
Don't you mean Robotech?
Mount and Blade, but with mobile suits
Well most if not all japanese mech games are on consoles.
nothing to do with the fanbase I just don't buy underpowered tech, I already got a powerful phone that can stream my pc games with Moonlight so not interested all the re releases either
i wouldn't be surprised if there were a mod like that for it.
all laughing
A votoms game could be interesting
>movement speed is mach fuck
>ttk is .0002 secs
parkan: iron strategy
Annihilator was built primarily for urban warfare and defence. That's why it has a slow ass speed.
I've had an idea for a mech fantasy game like that. Like every Kingdom was built on the power of a single supremely powerful mecha from antiquity which is DNA linked to that Kingdom's royal family.
Mechcommander, great shit.
you wait until this gets relaunched this fall
in the meantime get Front Mission Evolved on steam and play that
unironically vape a canister of zyklon B and set yourself on fire
Is that Hawken?
Because I'll fucking be there buddy, it's everyone else showing up that I'm worried about.
not really having high expectations still
the way they worded it seems like they will be happily introduce instant gratification for cash/money, "but it's fine because it's pve"

It's actually not that bad.

my man, I've about 40 hours in that game..
>not that bad
holy shit fuck off
Play Titanfall then and let me have my autism sims
>hormoniversary
Living legends mod
It's really not, hating it is a meme.
that looks so fucking bad on so many different leves.
You guys have played Cyberstorm right?
Sorry it's not anime enough for you, weeb faggot.
you could, and you would be wrong.
sorry I am not brain damaged like you.
I backed it, but there was none of the tranny shit when they begged for shekels, just reasonable interpretations mechanics and shit. Early betas seemed good.
But then they started with this shit front and centre because they knew the games had optimisation issues and didn't feel finished, probably stemming the fact the lead programmer was mind fucking himself with lady hormones. Obviously those corners of the dev team were pushing SJW shit into the story angle too.
But they put that thing front and centre as a diversity shield. Anyone who complains is instantly dismissed as a homophobe or whatever. It's a tactic that works for the companies desu, but its wrong on multiple levels.
The guys are so blinded by old friendships they can't see how the product was dragged down and it's a shame really.
Like this, where instead of magic swords they have giant robots unlocked by their respective holy bloodlines.
Not in two decades. Is that even out digitally?
>Is that even out digitally?
Its abandonware, though Hi-Res made all the earthsiege and tribes titles free.
Chock full of malware do not touch
Where did you get it from?
Sieg Zeon
ehh I can't remember, why?
I actually didn't think it was very good, It's competent as far as a squad based tactical shooter goes but it's not something I'd recommend to anyone unless they're dying for that specific combination of robots and tactics.
I expect it to be a complete p2w shitshow, but fuck me if I won't try squeezing at least a few weeks of fun out of it.
EDF5
yes this is just a power suit but there are also mechs.
Could be a shady website, The quadrology is fine for me
Here it is
Front mission
Steel battalion
Mech assault
Mech v kaiju
Into the breach
Titanfall 2
Zone of the enders
There is some variety
Got the google drive version that shows up as the TOP SEARCH on google
Already mentioned but worth repeating:
Titanfall 1 and 2
Brigador
Mechwarrior 2 through 4
There's also a pretty sweet mech fighting game made by Capcom in the 90's called Cyberbots, worth a try if you like mechs and fighting games.
Thats got 6 legs though
YOU DIG
GIANT
ROBOTS
I love this game.
Hexapedal?
More like Sexapedal
Hawken was fun until they ran it straight into the ground
I see you are a fan of Maze as well.
how is the game comparing to 4.1
Now that the dust has settled, can we agree that he was right all along?
One alpha strike and this fucker is dead. Goddamn, I hate lights so hard in Megamek and HBS's Battletech. Walking waste of c-bills.
All jap mechs vs west mechs fights are retarded and lost by default.
>meanwhile a real gundam was built in japan
Who's laughing now?
The Earth saga
Earth 2140
Earth 2150
Earth 2160
Can't be dead if you can't be hit
Better in pretty much every possible way. Especially the class changes. Fencer is actually the one that got the least new weapons (I think none?) but feels the most different too. They massively expanded weapons that give you a dash or boost so you have a LOT more choice for mobility instead of having 2 weapon slots perma-locked to Javelin launcher + spear. They also changed the way his movement works, you no longer cancel animations and instead chain dashes with boosts for massive jumps and general maneuverability.
They added extra slots for all classes where you install a passive, like 400% sprint speed for ranger, different hovers for Wingdivers, recoil reduction for fencer, etc etc.
All classes also have a pick-up ring around them so you don't have to physically touch a box to pick it up, these can also be expanded in some cases.
Ranger got sprint and vehicles (not as many as A.Raider though).
WingDiver Got a dodge that's very useful, as well as a lot of more energy manipulation options. You can for example be unable to fly but expend much less energy shooting weapons, or less max energy but better recovery, etc.
Air Raider got an extra slot, his bombardments have a much improved targeting system (overhead view of the battlefield) and good changes to vehicles, also better reloads on some weapons.
Fencer got expanded mobility options as I've mentioned, which directly expand his weapon choices with much more variety.
TL;DR EDF5 added Frogs, that's all you need to know.
I played a mech game as a kid 20 odd years ago but I can't remember the name. It was first person, the menu was set in your barracks room between missions, there was a choice of two mechs at the start, there were (I think) secret areas to be found on each map, and if you lost/aborted enough missions you'd get a game over FMV of your base being destroyed. I had a look at old mech games on various sites a year ago but I don't think it was any of the popular, big name ones like Mechwarrior.
Glitch in the System
Reminds me of Vanguard Bandits.
Could it be G-Nome or Shattered Steel?
this game looks great and i genuinely thought i would enjoy it but when i played it it just wasn't fun
very nice, thanks.
Gungriffon blaze.
Urbie can go toe to toe wirh assaults fuck you if you think otherwise
Stay mad urbie pilot
It seems I am the only one in the world who played this game
I've checked both of those and while Shattered Steel looks similar, it also looks too recent. The first mission was definitely against other enemy mechs and I don't think the graphics were that advanced.
Lost Planet was OK
>I found it hard desu
You just suck.
The game mechanics are quite easy to master.
Learn some fucking tactics.
Any cool new mech games coming out? I've got my eye on this one which looks interesting. Maybe daemon x machina might be good too, if they can fix performance.
>mfw finally getting that early Mad Cat
Could it be Earthsiege 1 or 2?
>lights all over the body
For what purpose?
Pretty much this. I got excited for a split second over Battletech months ago and then found out the lead developer is a literal tranny and pronouns are an option under the character creation screen. Also, you work for a stronk womyn who don't need no man -unless the character you created is a man and goes by the pronouns "him/he."
I replayed MechAssault 2 and enjoyed it instead.
I love Brigador but I will admit it is tougher to get into than it looks. Your choice of vehicle and weapons can also drastically change how the game plays, which isn't for everyone.
My first and still favorite mech game.
Mechs=/=Mechas
>No comments about gameplay
Fuck off underage
DxM looks like trash.
Have you played all Armored Core games yet? If not just pick one you haven't and play it instead, it's 10x the game that DxM will be, literally.
PRAY FOR RAVENS
I had a look and Earthsiege 1 is definitely the closest I've seen but it's not the same game as far as I can tell. The menu is wrong and I as far as I recall it was you alone in each mission, no backup or wingmates and no audio mission briefings.
Thanks for trying, though
Nice try, rabbi.
Armored Core: Nexus is peak mech.
Did you look at Earthsiege 2 though? It has all those things you mention. It's also a great game, and underrated.
>How dare you want to talk about videogames on the videogame board
Based, the intro cinematic is fantastic. The only issue I have is the crazy heat mechanics
Nevermind I stupidly misread your post. Play Earthsiege 2 anyway, it's great!
this game is great, I can only hope any sequels or spinoffs the dev makes will be better
I'll get around to it eventually, user, along with most of the other games in this thread
Anyone know that game where the pilots are all artificial humans with creepy death animations, and the good end is your own genes being used to make more?
Forefront never ever
...
This artstyle makes me think of Tiberian Sun.
does this run well on dosbox? tried and failed to get it running at a stable fps without glitches on a win7 machine yrs ago was frustrating
I want to be able to customise the mech to the point of giving them different arms because they have better hard points or punch better. Different legs to increase speed or stability
I’d also like it if you could hijack mechs in combat
IT'S GOT A LOCK ON ME IT'S GOT A LOCK ON ME!!!! *explosion* *dies*
>It is the best despite everything
No, it's not.
mech games: MechWarrior 2, 3, 4; MechCommander
mecha games: Zone of the Enders 2; Armored Core series, Front Mission series
mecha games if you're a huge animefag: ACE 2 and 3; SRW Z series; SDGG Overworld
Too janky and full of bugs.
Do you fags consider Gun Metal a mech game or a plane game?
All Mechs are Mecha. Not all Mecha are Mechs.
I'd say any game where you control a mech is a mech game even if that mech turns into something else on occasion.
Come now, it ain't that bad. It does need a performance bump from the demo I played though so Im hoping that'll be fixed by release.
What's your favorite AC?
Nexus
That's why I asked, because you barely stay in mech mode. I love it though. Played so much. Wish there were more of it.
The guy who replied isn't me, but his pick ain't bad. Just study the PS2 entries a bit and chose your fav.
My issue with DxM isn't even the performance (although it's indeed horrible even in the latest trailer), it's that it's a straight up AC clone but with all the depth removed and only 1/10th of the customization. I simply see no reason to play it when AC already exists, especially to someone like you who hasn't played it. It's like playing Dauntless instead of Monster Hunter, I just don't see the point.
The mechs are cheap as fuck and the grind is merely playing the game
You can do well in quick play with almost anything, and a cutting edge build is expensive, but not necessary unless youre in Solaris or FP
Basically, you suck a dick
Still a better game.
???
VF-X2 is the same way, that's still a mech game.
Thread
Not with that jank and those bugs.
Was is for sure on PC? Another game released around Earthsiege was Ultrabots and Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri
Zone of the Enders recently got a remaster(?)
there's also titanfall 1 & 2
if you're into older generation consoles/emulators, the gundam games on ps1 were plenty fun
MW online is the best. Its exactly what people are looking for, and what all mech games have been, arcadey shooters with customization
I would like a game with heavy sim feel, cockpit interaction like flight sim, but its never been done, not even 3 got there. When people get mas at MWO they criticize Piggy which they are in fact, fucking retarded at PR, and the ancient lostech of the beta to release, but as a GAME, its really good and the community is welcoming.
I like the madcat. It's my favorite. Mech
brigador
override mecha city brawl
It was definitely a PC game
Titanfart does not have mechs.
the heavy gear assault devs were actually really talented guys, the issue is that there were only like, 5 of them.
Weren't they former MekTek guys?
Post the best mechs from their respective series!
It's not so bad. The game is pretty fun and scratches the 'mech itch well until you reach mid-late game when it turns into an artillery simulator.
I get the Tiberian Sun vibe from that as well. I'm also reminded of a SoE game called Infantry or some shit that had 100+ players per map. I haven't thought about that game in years, I wonder if it still exists.
Whatever you say, pedantic retard.
Let me guess, you think women are evil and won't fuck you

>VF-X2 is the same way
Noted.
what the fuck are they doing? all they had to do to fix the damn game and make it fun again, was to remove medic, and roll back the health nerfs that made all the mechs feel like they were made out of cardboard.
gonna be real with you here, i want to fuck that mech
>It just turns red
kek
no point in doing any balance change because they literally don't make any money of the retarded cosmetic market, the skins being mostly ugly and boring did not help either.
I unironically wished they had put in lootboxes or any sort of zoomer money magnet schemes to save the game before it shut down on pc
yes. of course, then M$ decided that having a free, legal copy of MW4 mercs with improvements was a threat to MWO's money making abilities, so they pulled the license for the free release. if they only knew how right they were.
I remember buying every single PC mech game religiously back in the day. MechWarrior, Heavy Gear, EarthSiege
Good times siiiiiiip
do you remember the part where adhesive promised meteor that they would pull in LoL levels of playerbase and ESPOOOORTS?
All of Armored Core
RIP Hawken :(
Didn't they just announce a new game
is this a soft launch for PC though? Is the game still active on console?
Titans are mechs by every standard. The only reason people say the games aren't in the mech genre is because most mech games don't have combat that switches between piloting and on-foot.
hey nothing wrong with having big dreams, they're just unlucky in the age of hating-f2p-p2w games in 2013. Ask about Hawken and one in every 3 people will say it's p2w because of the shitty market
And then when they literally made it p2w nobody cared enough to trash on it anymore
>on console?
on US servers there are usually a few dozen people or so playing, I have no idea why
I looked at Iron Harvest trailer. Looks cool but from what I've seen with the gameplay, light mechs are too OP and the infantry with grenades and rocket launchers stomp the rest.
Any user tried the Alpha?
