Hehe that’s probably exactly my thoughts when I convinced my parents to buy me Mechwarrior 2 back in 95 🤪


Hahaha I love that, those old school trailers take me back!! Shit I actually think I remember that one.

Reminds me of this Crusader trailer that always stuck with me. I used to go to Hastings and rent this game back in the day when you could rent PC games lol:

Oh man! Crusader! I want a remake/remaster/ability to run it on my phone/anything so much! I LOVED this game!
 
I played mechwarrior games as a kid but haven’t played anything until now with clans. It’s tough getting into this one for me. I feel like script, voice overs and some art assets were all handed to AI to do. There hasn’t seemed to be real art direction with it. I love visuals so far I think and the mech combat but as some others have mentioned, the story, plot and stuff has been hard to swallow and therefore distracting. Talk me back into this. lol. I’m only a couple missions in.

The story is pretty bang on to clans, I enjoyed it a lot but I already knew all the lore around smoke jaguar. The purposeful avoidance of contractions can make it sound a little stilted, maybe that’s what you’re picking up.

I am! I did catch a sentence from Ibrahim in the beginning speaking to one of my members telling him not to use contractions. I guess the voice acting seems a little jagged or robotic otherwise but if that’s part of the lore, I can get behind that with more playing I think.
