Mechwarrior (Interest Check)

I take it you have played Dragonfall then?  =D

returns, dragonfall and hong kong :) multiple times. replaying hong kong as a samurai now. took gaichu with me to deckcon.. soooo funny with how everyone thinks he is a cosplayer

[TheGlyphstone]

Gaichu is absolute win, though I think I enjoyed talking to Racter more - brought him along every mission I could just for that ridiculous custom drone of his.

[Sara Nilsson]

yeah that drone is insanely good. I didnt like Racter that much though once I found out his secret.

Only one I always brought was Gobbet. I looove Gobbet she is just so adorable, wish I could marry her.

[TheGlyphstone]

I usually ran with my Sam, Racter for extra firepower, Is0bel for hacking, and Gobbet for healing and buffs. Once in a while I'd haul Duncan along, but anything he could do my PC could do better. Gaichu+Duncan made for a really powerful takedown combo once I got them ranked though, with Gaichu doing loads of AP drain to let Duncan hogtie them (or Gaichu just cutting their heads off if Hogtie was cooling down).

[Sara Nilsson]

yeah Duncan is really amazing with that takedown. I kinda needed Gaichu's damage though as I tend to play more supporty types. Come to think of it I do that in all games... healer or buffer in most MMO's, Ravens and such in mechwarrior. :)

I'm not holding my breath... There was a pretty swanky trailer for MW5 back in 2009 too...

That was pre-MWO, and it was actually a cutscene rendered with the in-game engine. Test footage, basically, not a functional game. The link I posted above has actual gameplay footage, with a real person at the controls of the mech (the president of Pirahna Games, apparently, which explains why he's not a very good pilot).

Tis that a burn through yonder window breaks? 

But yes, they got their work pretty much cut out for them. They already have tons of high quality assets to use, so the advanced release date is actually surprising. Hopefully that means they are more concerned with a good story and polishing said assets. It will be a fine product I am sure (or at least I put my hope in it).
