Why don't videogames ever let YOU play as the guy with heavy armor?

so what is the name for the things that are larger than power armour but smaller than mechs?

I'd like to get back into them but it just feels like they're spinning their tires at this point, you know? Like they keep getting full-price releases but not really full-price updates.

I wish it wasn't isometric. Every time I play an isometric game I just wish I could stick the camera behind my back. Don't even need to change anything else, even the angle is mostly fine.
It does still look great though.
>>712906459
Depends. You can blur the line by being partially worn and partially piloted like landmates. Otherwise it's just big power armor and minimecha. Like votoms or even obselete are about as small as you can go while still having an enclosed piloting seat.

sits between standard shoot bang gameplay and epic mech fights, so no dev is going to bother outside of either making them super mooks or cannon fodder depending on what side of the fence the game is on

Is the industry still so stuck in "you are a man and you hold an ar-15 and you can take about fifteen bullets before your screen gets so red that you die"?
They keep churning out hero shooters where you might play as someone with shields and rocket pods and whatever, they never thought to make a regular shooter where you play as that. It's sad.

People complain about the shonky politics of the movie but my hate is laser focused on turning it into a generic military shooter and somehow manufacturing an entire wave of pop culture around all scifi military shooters being boring fucking bug hunts.
I think at this point if you put "would you like to le know more?!?" in your starship troopers game trailer they should just shoot you.

helldivers 2 is the closest we've gotten to the experience of the first chapter of the book
>jump jets
>tactical mini-nukes
>tons of ordinance to use
the problem is that the helldivers are treated as expendible and death is common, whereas in the book each individual infantryman is a one-man army

It's a couple steps in the right direction of at least playing with some serious firepower but you're still a goon with permission to call down artillery. You're still just a military guy who sprints away from the bugs while screaming your head off.

And them pretty deliberately making the mechs fairly shitty is an issue. It's like the last thing for them to unfuck from their "it's supposed to be bad" days and displays how much they don't want you feeling tough or anything.

The gameplay in MechWarrior Online is still great, but you missed the glory days. You can still get matches, but it's going to be the same names almost each time.

Define 'heavy armor'.
Is it 40k Tactical Terminator armor, Centurion or Dreadnought?

I'd say anything before dreadnought. Once it becomes a mobile retirement home it kind of steps into a different field.

Do you want first person view from a visor type of game. Or third person with dodge, melee, energy shields?
Or isometrical/side scroller?

The muslims are handled with kids gloves really badly. The christians are constantly commiting absolutely reprehensible blasphemy at every turn and the worst the muslims have is slave soldiers.
It has basically nothing left to do with anything that isn't christians or demons. They're just around being bland.

It's impressive how many things it got right for the very basic elements of moving and loadouts and stuff and then every single other part of the game was a complete detriment to that. The coolest player character in the worst written looter shooter with the worst stats and progression system.

I mean there's a small belief you can hold in another dimension where it got unshittified in patches like cyberpunk or no mans sky. They didn't even try lol, they just dropped that shit after launch like a redheaded stepchild.
