Does /m/ play Mecha Break?

It's the /m/alest game ever so far.
Picrel, my Falcon aka the closest thing you will get to a Flag or Macross variable fighter.

It's also not as p2w as previously thought, since all mechs are free and you only pay money for gooner skins for your custom pilot that you can pose in perverted fashion.

>>23364797 (OP)
I wanna play this but I'm a PS5 pleb. Guess I'll play Armored Core 6 for the 12th time.

>>23364797 (OP)
>aka the closest thing you will get to a Flag or Macross variable fighter.
I'd argue Skyraider as well honestly Skyraider and Falcon are my favorites so far though admittedly haven't tried most of them because I'd rather just keep macrossing.

>>23364805
Falcon and Skyraider definitely feel good and require quite some piloting skill too. It's funny tho that Panthers are the biggest menace for all these flyers. Always underestimate how fucking fast they are.

>>23364797 (OP)
Hoping for more customisation, like proper heels or bikini.

>>23364824
The free costume you get after 7 day has heels, but yeah I dont think it can be used outside the entire costume. Good for OL fetish tho.

>>23364797 (OP)
>>23364802
>>23364851
This just looks like coomer shit.

>>23365042
The actual game is ass but there's either a paid, or dedicated offsite community who've been raiding non stop for weeks with gooner bait of the avatars and showing very little actual captured gameplay of matches with other people.

>>23364797 (OP)
it's an ESL cringecore coomerbait with bits of exteel sprinkled on top

I'm liking it, I just ignore Mashmak because I hated it in the beta. So it feels pretty fair as a free to play game if you do that. I heard Mashmak is pretty pay to win though.

>>23365094
You don't need anything offsite to convince 4channers to erp in threads. There's a whole bunch of different communities I've stepped away from because they all slowly filled up with erp posters. No surprise it instantly hit on release here.
Unfortunately nothing has a middle ground anymore, you get prudish safe ugly designs, or you get camera mode korean mobile game posing with custom mole placement. I like pilot girls but not like this, man.

Anyway I keep trying the game out and every time I step away after a few rounds thinking maybe there's something good in there, but not like this. The game is even getting more class role focused after patches, and the one saving grace it had was that originally it felt more like a fairly even death match. I'm not playing another 6v6 with tanks and healers.

>>23364797 (OP)
The game is shit, Where is Hardcore Mecha 2?

>>23365166
The sequel is a gacha game

>>23365094
The usual Chinese/Korean shilling tactic? I mean it even try to claim the game as the /m/alest game ever

>>23365167
Oh for fuck sake...

>>23365167
>>23365173
Also if you're a fan of the characters and want to know what Thunderbolt truly is. Don't bother, they completely changed all of the characters and story. No Tarethur, No Ayla, no Nancy, no Yasser, no explanation for Thundebolt's true origin. Nothing but a bunch of less interesting, gacha made characters doing their shit

>>23365178
I'm keeping my headcanon of Hardcore Mecha taking place in the far future of PILI universe and Thunderbolt containing a fragment of Su Huan Jen's soul or Tarethur being the reincarnation of Su Hua Jen himself

>>23365094
Whats wrong with the gameplay? I think its great. Each mecha has a clear specilization with alot of hidden mechanics and counterplay

The game controls like a dream, it feels the best to play out of any mecha game I've played, including the Armored Cores. The biggest thing holding it back from greatness is those designs. The Break Strikers are just so fucking ugly it's unreal. The only one that looks anything better than below average is Narukami, the rest look super chinky like they were randomly thrown together for a mobile game. Yes yes, I know they were designed by real established mecha designers.

>>23365394
I wouldn't worry too much about the opinions of a 4chan board.

/m/ as a rule will say that literally anything /m/ related (especially vidya) is shit unless it's one of the sacred nostalgia series.

>>23364797 (OP)
Like 2 hours in matches, 12 in photo mode.

>>23364797 (OP)
Is this a hero shooter like I heard or can you customize your robot?

>>23365560
it's a hero shooter mainly for the 3v3 and 6v6 modes, there's also the extraction shooter/PvE mode that has more gear customisation stuff.

>>23365581
Gotcha, thanks

I love my Welkin.
Really feels like playing a Zaku ace cutting down feddie trash.

>>23365740
I really like how all the mechs really fill their own unique niche,

Like Welkin, Panther, Stellaris and Alysnes are all "the melee mech" but how they play is completely unique.

also the way they've balanced the snipers and flyers out with having counters to them is really satisfying when you are running a coordinated 6 stack.

This mech is porn.
Did they really have to make it look so feminine? Almost feels bad hunting it down, since it feels like rape.

>>23365791
You should probably be on a watch list if you aren't already
>>23364797 (OP)

It got old honestly.

Skyraider and Falcon are both super fun. I do wish you could customize the mechs slightly - I'd kill for an autocannon on Skyraider instead of the clunky beam rifle.

>grinding to slut out your character

Can I put a trap in a rubber suit yet? Last time I played I couldn't make the female model flat enough and I don't like the male outfit.

Love my Narukami.

>>23365102

>>23365851
It's a really cool mecha, I agree!

DING

>Does one kill
>Become MVP

how does this work? Total damage dealt? Because the Falcon isnt killing anything.

>>23366452
MVP can be earned if you hard play on objectives or deny them.

Falcon is one of the best units in the game. Skill diff

>>23366454
That was Ace Arena, I grabbed a beam sniper cannon and did some kiting and flying away. Didnt kill more than one Tricera but probably dealt a lot of damage and aided the team. I guess this also counts towards MVP.

>>23366452
>Because the Falcon isnt killing anything.
I dunno I feel like I have the easiest time getting kills with it admittedly I have to be locked the fuck in and there are certain 1v1s I don't like but anything light or medium is easy to shred with it's main guns and Macross missiles.

That's the sad part. The chinks hired real mecha designers and then told them to just make more generic chink crap. They only wanted the names, not the art.

>>23364802
This game is rated E10 btw.

>>23367665
I'm not sure if I can even blame the devs, mecha designers these days are just washed up. None of them have produced a single decent design since the 90s.

>>23366456
What in the actual fuck is this UI supposed to be.
Why is it a radial display but your attack and action buttons are cocked off to the side rather than fixed to the center or at least close to the central crosshair.
What the fuck do you need two gauges for left and right roll when basic pitch-roll ladders exist and are so much easier to read?

Jesus fuck I know I'm sounding nitpicky but it looks so stupid, like it was designed purely to be flashy for screenshot purposes.

>>23367853
My rebuttal is: Nagano
But his style is highly divisive. I personally think his new design philosophy is revolutionary and genius, others are put off by it.

>>23364797 (OP)
The game is just feeling unrewarding to play even if you're consistently doing good. I dunno. Logically it has almost everything I'd love in a mecha game, but it's done sloppily. Kinda depressing.

>>23367859
GTMs are a cool idea but he got lazy with them and just recycled the same few design elements over and over, and the newer more "unique" ones like the GTM auge or flamberge are just a mess

I like Mashmak, just got my first successful run. Wished that mech customization was for PvP as well, but I guess its for the sake of balance.

I can't help but think of all the failed attempts at Muvluv gacha games. There were at least 3.

The falcon is really the most fun mech in the game.
Fucking Skyraider cant kill shit and Aquila is for babbies.

Playing the Falcon really makes me consider buying the skin. But that price tho. What does it have aside of the skin? Some storymode for the character too?

>>23377010
It's just the skins and animations. It's for the largest of whales.

>>23377002
>Skyraider cant kill shit
retard

>>23377805
It really cant in a proper PvP setting like Mashmak.

One on one, you cant do anything.
In 6v6 you can maybe steal a kill or do an assist, but that's like also your entire role - disrupting and poking at enemies to get them out of their comfy positions.

>>23378093
no you just suck dude, or maybe you keep getting skyraiders who are shitters i dunno which. yea he disrupts but if you keep landing your charged shots and not aim like a monkey he can definitely kill, especially when you sprinkle in your 3. maybe not as fast or flashy but he can hound people down just the same as falcon. mashmak or not he does fine in both

>>23378096
Try 1v1 against a Tricera camping the extraction zone with a Skyraider and tell me how it goes lol.

Impossible for you to even hurt him at all with your full kit.

>>23378102
you fucking close in and use your 1 and 2 to disable his lock and flush his ass out, then 2 again when he moves his sorry ass. then you just keep looping and breaking lock while struggles to face you? he's only a bother since they gave him anti missile shit but you just shotgun your 2 now instead of just letting it rock. the fuck are you talking about

>>23376998
im not defending that crap, negro.
i wish that never got implemented on games

Fuck Aquila niggers in Mashmak. Seriously is there any point in playing any different mech in that mode?

>>23376977
As a Falcon, what buttons did you use?
When I tried rebinding to controller, it wouldn't let me rebind all the buttons. For a keyboard/mouse setup, what did you find to be most effective?

>>23380303
I bound transformation to my additional mouse buttons, basically all attacks are on my mouse buttons, all movement is still WASD. Only 'weapon' I kept was radar on Q because that's not always used BUT always used. Basically allows me to shoot with left mouse button, use missiles and other missiles with middle and right mouse button whilst keeping the thumb free to transform in and out at a moments notice.

so is the game forgotten already?

>>23364797 (OP)
I'm not really into the goooner pilot stuff and I only have an old as fuck laptop that I am 99% can't run this.

>>23389451
If you can't appreciate a robot waifu over a fleshbag, can you really call yourself a /m/an?

I do admit the idea of a Mecha that is entirely based around being a "healing" support bot gives the game an impression of being more hero shooter than mecha action game. Not sure how you could balance a pvp mecha game where you select specialized mechs instead of making one yourself
Also the game just has so much bullshit part of the kit of many of the robots, Panther and Alysnes both have to carry shields but Stego and Welkin can just pull one out of their ass from thin air, gives the impression that it's just a magic ability given to them for balance and not something integral to the design.

>>23389771
>Not sure how you could balance a pvp mecha game where you select specialized mechs
Titanfall 2 did it decently well. Tone and Monarch were a bit overwhelming on some maps, but I never felt like I had to pick them too to keep up. The trick is to just make them all combat classes. Maybe some more defensive, assault, long range/short range, whatever, but no dedicated shield mechs and healer mechs.

The first beta for the game was better because shields and healing were weak enough that it wasn't a major gameplay element. It more felt like everyone was there to fight. Second beta turned it into tank on cart, healer welded to tank.

>game starts conveniently lagging the moment I have the upper hand against a Skyraider in Mashmak
Nice.

>>23389907
This change is exactly why Mashmak feels like complete shit to play

So am I the only one noticing that all the mech seem to be left handed? By that I meant that the main weapon usually always on the left hand.
I know that the reason that it is so is because the game was made for PC and since most userbase will be using keyboard and mouse, it is more visually intuitive to have the main weapon on the left side since left click is the default keybind for the main weapon.
I am just saying that it is rather unusual for a mecha game to do so. Perhaps I am just too used to Armored Core right handed weapon layout since that game was made with controller in mind.

>>23389907
>no dedicated shield mechs and healer mechs
In-combat healing is the most cancerous concept that games (in general) ever came up with, especially for multiplayer.

Fellas, its been fun. Its over.

>>23390665
The game is down for maintenance retard.

>Welkin nerfed
>Skyraider buffed
>Hurricane buffed

Finally, I can play this game.

Why is Falcon squishier and does less damage han Luminae and Pinaka?

>>23392115
Falcon can do a hell of a lot of burst damage with it's Aux 3, Aux 2, combo while mag dumping your target in flight mode.

it's squishier, yes, but being able to instantly break lock any time you do a loop-de-loop makes you very hard to hit if you know how to use flight mode properly.

You can get pretty intricate with the paint jobs in this game if you have the patience.

just found this guy who went full Zeta gundam colour scheme with Skyraider, i could never.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vRTZ5K4XZEU

>>23390060
That makes no real sense because most people are fucking right handed and have their mouse on the right side of the keyboard, so you would expect that to be mirrored by your player avatar.

T. Left handed fuck who knows the only people who make lefty assets are lefties themselves, like the guy who modeled the guns for original Counterstrike.

>>23392242

makes perfect intuitive sense, left click activates left arm thing, right click activates right arm thing.

and since left click is your normal "shoot" button, makes sense that the normal "shoot" arm is on the left side.

>>23392242
This has already happened in other games, especially ones where you customize guns in each hand. Suddenly all the main weapons tend to go in the left hand cause it's weird to be right-clicking all the time.

>>23388433
Still working on the paint for my Welkin. I'm tempted to just go Optimus Prime with it since I am trying for a Red/White/Blue SOMETHING, but then I also don't wanna just do that.

>>23391989
Welkin isn't getting Nerfed until another brawler is introduced, it is the Only of its class. And it's operating As Intended. Also if you think Skyraider needs more buffs you're crazy. Hurricane tho, yeah that things a hunka shit

>>23388433
Particularly big fan of the Serenith

>>23393090
Ive seen a lot of optimus Triceras around, and a decent number of Starscream Skyraiders

>>23392115
the tough part about falcon is that the bulk of its burst damage is gonna come from catching unsuspecting suits with a full salvo of your flight-form blue missiles, which is really hard to do in a close-range dogfight with someone since they need the perfect spacing to land, I find its best sometimes if you didn't get the drop on someone the first time to just disengage and come back when they've gotten bored of chasing you, falcon is slippery enough to evade every other suit on most maps

>>23396949
Falcon has a pretty absurd skill ceiling, but the top of that ceiling is pretty destructive.

>>23396949
Falcon is also absurdly good at disruption, since you can freely throw chip damage at people to cancel point captures, which most of the game modes involve.

your speed also allows you to chase down and finish off enemies that are low, or jump between multiple parts of the map quickly to turn any 1v1 into a 2v1 in your favor at will.

>>23392115
Most of the fun I get from Falcon is the feeling of flying around at high speeds and the erection I get from mashing all my missiles at once into a target in a strafing run.

>play mash
>gets killed by stellaris after spawning

is this the new meta?

>>23397464
Given how fucking annoying it is to fight Stellaris for most mechs, yeah.

i played falcon first but then i took the skyraiderpill and i havent looked back yet

>>23398388
I also like the Skyraider. The charged shots are quite powerful and it has a lot of team utilities outside of pure DPS. Unfortunately, the enemy Panthers and Stellaris are usually laser focussed in killing you.
What are the mentioned buffs for it again?

>>23398972
i saw something about buffing the damage on the energy missile i think? idk what else
