MechWarrior2 is one of the most pivotal games ever made. Even the market for these types of games has essentially disappeared, i'm so glad there's still a niche band of players of these games. Armored Core 6 sales can attest.

@leoismaking Ай бұрын

MW must be selling at least ok, given that there's been a ton of DLCs and now a standalone/sequel/expansion thing.

@Reoh0z Ай бұрын

If you listen to Publishers games like Helldivers 2, Baldur's Gate 3, and Armored Core 6 wouldn't sell very well in the modern market.

Mechwarrior Online is obv. still around. There's also World of Tanks/War Thunder for the war vehicle sim genre.

@ZuhriaAlfitra Ай бұрын

Might be niche but they have an loyal & active communities. Lot of people still actively playing MW Online & MW 5. Even the modding community also still active after 5 years of MW 5 released. I'm quite surprised by that.

Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries does have a story driven campaign, it's that because you are a merc, you have to take contracts to fund your personal vendetta.

The "story" part, when describing MW5 Mercs as having "story driven missions" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting. The cost of hiring a script writer was number 20 on PGI's list of expenses in making MW5. Right after "buying the dev ' team a coffee".
