But I haven't played many, simply because I can't find them so take that what you will.

Are you joking? MW4 was an all around downgrade with damage models, cockpits, and immerse features. It didn't make any changes to the campaign, and the only good thing it did was add more mechs to the roster.

I can only speak for myself, but I use Windows 7 64 bit, and I've had no issues with Mechwarrior 2 and 4. Three took a bit of work, but limiting the FPS via driver profiles made it work well. I haven't tried Mechwarrior 1, but I imagine it's DOS only and via dosbox. The windows version of 2 works fantastically.

I only recently got into Mechwarrior, didn't play it when I was younger because I didn't own a PC back then.

From the ones I used in the MW4 instant action, Zues was probably my favorite just because it's a fucking killing machine. Still trying out the MW3 mechs.

What version of catalyst do you have installed?
>>
>>287205204
Armored Core Last Raven, Zone of the Enders, Gundam vs Zeta Gundam and Metal Wolf Chaos are my top
J.Phoenix, Omega Boost, Mechwarrior, and Robotech Battlecry, Cyberbots, Tech Romancer, R.A.D., Gunhound E.X., Windom, Armored Warrior, Virtual-On, and Gundam Extreme Vs. and Gundam Dynasty Warriors are other games you should check.

I can't believe how many I own and talk about. I probably make /m/ look normal.

There was one import I have that's a first person shooter, but I don't remember the name.

There's another one I used to have that was like a survival horror game with first person mechs, but I don't even remember the name or the system. I had it as a kid though

Oh shit, and one of the EDF games has an awesome mecha in it. Or at least appeals to the /m/ audience

Virtual On is also fun stuff like Anon >>287216405 said.

If you have a nearby arcade with the twinstick setup by all means play that shit. If you have a 360 it's on XBLA too. An older version is available on Japanese PSN.

Learn your mechs, dont spend money like a retard. When you find a mech build you finally want, grinding up the cash for all its parts, then buy the mech with real cash so you dont spend more.

Might as well use this thread to ask.

>finally get around to playing Metal Gear a few years ago
>become obsessed with Metal Gear
>MGS4 is the only game you can actually take control of a Metal Gear

Aside from a possible chance in MGSV The Phantom Pain, hopefully with a mode in MGO3 or having one accessible during large skirmishes in the campaign, what's the best game I can actually BE the Metal Gear?

This was always a missed opportunity in the games until 4. And it was brief.

Except that it fucking had measures to reduce boating and made the mechs more unique with the new hardpoint system.

Yes, mercenaries was amazing. I should clarify further though that everyone saying MW4 is shit don't know what the fuck they are talking about. A lot of the original bitching when it came out was because you couldn't boat on every mech not because of any real downgrading, 4 was far from bad as a whole, hell legging not being an instant kill is a rather massive upgrade.

Gundam kind of toes the line. Your average mobile suit is normally pretty real robot, but the titular Gundams and pretty much anything that a named character pilots will be doing some crazy shit a lot of the time.

Mechs have little articulation, they are basically bipedal tanks. Mecha are humanoid combat platforms which can zip all over the place and nearly all have articulated fingers.

>>287227358
You can't be that rigid with your definitions, keep in mind that some Battletech mechs such as the Atlus are meant to be able to fucking punch each other.

While on the subject. I remember playing some Mech game ages ago on the PS1 with a friend but I can't remember the name.

It looked a lot like Armored Core. I remember the HUD looking green like that. But I don't think AC1 had any big open forest levels, because that's what I remember playing.

Then I started thinking it might have been one of the other two PS1 AC games but they were never released in Europe.

Anyone have any clue what game I could be talking about? It look a hell of a lot like AC. But could it be some clone?
