This is why we can't have nice things.

>>715473581 (OP)
Looks much better than ac6, how's the game and it's mechanucs? Gameplay feel and controls?

GaaS are not nice things.

>>715473891
The gameplay is fun, the controls are much more methodical in how they handle where you boost matters and energy management is important, it's not quite as fast pace as ac6, game is pretty F2P friendly, although in the extraction game mode there is some p2w but the 6v6 and 3v3 is completely p2w free, you can also earn premium currency via an ingame market place by selling items to other players. the game has a very rock paper scissor style to it's mechs with each mech having a focus on being able to counter the playstyles of other mechs, so the matches become working with your team mates to make up for the weaknesses of your mech. Overall fun game queue times are a bit of a bummer tho and there has been some issues with bots, although I havent run into them much. Very much a sorta mix of gundam ex versus and armored core.

>>715473921
game is good tho

>>715474412
It's a pay to win game? These games really got better within the last decade. No wonder, suits can't resist making money by doing literally nothing.

>>715473581 (OP)
Pandering to porn addicts is never good if your game isn't porn to begin with. Devs need to make fun games for people that like video games and not add any fanservice or just any women to their games in general because the gooner coomer crowd is gonna shit and piss and yell if said women don't look like porn women and then they'll try to kill your game by calling it woke or some other meme buzzword of the year. If you're gonna make a robot game, don't show the pilots, don't let anyone make a pilot, just have robot customization. We live in an age where the chronic masturbation goon coomer people are equally as annoying as the woke people they hate, both are cancer and both should get executed in public. Both of those groups exhibit extremely abnormal behavior and should be shot on sight.

I can't play the game because despite it being Steam Deck verified, ACE anti-cheat doesn't allow my PC running Linux.

>>715473581 (OP)
I don't get people complaining about the customization being monetized. Something was always going to be monetized it's a F2P game, and if it comes down to the mechs being behind paywalls or frilly dresses for your pilot, I'd rather it be the frilly dresses.

>>715474753
only one game mode has pay to win elements, but they aren't substantial enough to disrupt the gameplay flow and you can earn the same things people are paying for for free.

i actually cannot believe some thumbs down reviews are saying "i dont like that they took the mod system out"

that was literally a pay2win system what the fuck do people even want

>>715473581 (OP)
no devs want to make actual games anymore. just full money extraction. thats why games are dead.

>>715473921
why not? if the product is free and i enjoy playing it, whats the issue here?

>>715475605
I distinctly remember people being mad about the mod system back in the last beta too, so they took it out of PvP and now people are mad that they took it out. Im just confused now

>>715475528
What's the deal then? Why did the developer went freemium? Are people spending money despite they don't have to?

>>715475771
feels like if something is free to play people just need a reason to complain

>>715475780
pay for convenience

>>715473581 (OP)
>get rid of p2w extraction mode and make it pve
>delete all the bots from ranked
there you go, it's actually fixed.

>go woke go broke
>go coomer go broke
what's the winning play then?

>>715476173
just stop making videogames entirely

>>715473581 (OP)
I for one didn't enjoy the gameplay at all and I don't see the appeal of it to be honest. I only made it past the tutorial but honestly it felt clunky as hell.

I can tell that the competitive gameplay is just spazzing around in your mecha in three dimensions and bashing your opponent before they bash you which doesn't seem fun.

>>715476018
That does work indeed very well. That's the future of vidya, awesome.

>>715473581 (OP)
Have you thanked your Welkin overlords today?

>>715473581 (OP)
You're right, monetization is a nice thing and we need more of it.

>>715476356
High-level play is mostly energy management and making good moment-to-moment decisions. Guys who are spazzing out are ironically the easiest to deal with.

>>715473581 (OP)
They went too extreme with the rock paper scissors balance if you want to play a mech that fits your playstyle and it has a popular or op counter in every match you're basically barred from playing it because you'll be at such a disadvantage to the point the game isn't fun, I fuckin' hate hard counter gameplay. The game is fun as shit if they tune some of the mechs back it'll be great but by then it'll be too late. It just feels like the more mechs they add the more imbalanced the game will get. I have no hope for this game.

>>715477116
its a free to play game.

>co-worker moaning that its pay to win
i don't know how someone can drum up this conclusion, literally all the top tier fuckers are free unlocks

>>715477746
Everything should be given to me for free.

>>715476354
I don't know how game devs can keep working in this industry. It seems like high risk for no reward since even if a game makes a ton of money they still get stuck with a mediocre salary and are likely to get fired anyway.

>>715477746
I know, it just sounds like OP was upset that a lot of the monetization was removed lol

>>715477946
I'm OP and I mean the exact opposite, a lot of the monetisation was reworked to be earnable via gameplay. I'm annoyed that people are still complaining despite that

>>715475605
You forgot that gooksloppers actually like p2w elements. Its only westerners that like their games to be fair and westerners are a minority.

>>715478057
Ya, poorfags and underage will always complain about that in f2p games for some reason. The concept of companies needing a way to earn money to remain profitable to keep the game updated eludes them, and skins will always been the least intrusive way when it comes to a f2p model... but not necessarily the most profitable way.

>>715475680
When a product is free you are the product

>>715477547
This my issue with the game as well. It's too focused on counters and forced teammplay. A Stego or Tricera likely isn't going to be able to do shit about a Inferno or Serenith without help. And in turn, an Inferno or Serenith likely isn't going to be able about a Stellaris without help. And in turn, that Stellaris is going to get destroyed if they try to take on a Welkin or Panther without help.

>>715475528
Sounds like shit. Lost my interest. Mechs look cool but pay2win is a fat L. And the cope of "You can grind for hours and no life the game to get stuff for free while the paypigs dominate you." Lol

>>715478304
I'm not poor. I'd pay $40 for the game if it didn't have pay2win shit. But as a "free" game that has pay2win shit, that you never know the limits of what you will have to buy to be competitive? That's something I would never play.

>>715478782
For the most part, no one cares because Mashmak isn't worth taking seriously and is a silly minigame at best. There's a reason why it takes 10 times longer to get a Mashmak game together than any other game mode.

>>715478939
is mechabreak pay2win?

>>715473581 (OP)
I have been enjoying this game much more than I thought I would. Couldn't care less about skins so I don't really care about that stuff. I don't even notice the monetization.

What has been (You)r favorite mech? I like Stego because you can just melt people with it from surprisingly far away, people also really underestimate me when they get above or close to me. I eat cocky paper plane Falcons for breakfast.

>>715478782
again, the main game mode isn't remotely pay to win.

>>715479345
definitely a falconeer, although skyraider is pretty fun, I like darting in and out of transformations to make tight angles, honestly tho the mech I get the best games with is welkin for obvious reason, although despite how much fun I have on welkin I enjoy stellaris more.

>>715479345
Inferno is the coolest looking mech imo and also the one that most fits my playstyle but if there is more than 1 melee mech on the other team they invariably end up doubleteaming me every single time. I'm sick of melees running a train on my Inferno every single game

>>715478428
It means you're at the mercy of your team in select and in game if you don't have one of two heavies or healers and a welkin your shit out of luck, so it leaves only two open spots for dps which is map specific in reality it leaves 1 spot for a random dps because one of those spots are for stellaris.
Meta is stale because the game isn't balanced = game is more frustrating than it needs to be = game becomes a chore after you enter the higher ranks = less and less fun as time spent playing goes on as you enter mirror matches on repeat any deviation results in insta-loss.

>>715479619
Skyraider took some getting used to but it's probably my second favorite now. I like the heavy hitting hit&run approach you can do with it. Feels like a proper bomber. But I'm still struggling with the resource management, too often I find myself fighting somebody without ammo

>>715479110
no

>>715478428
Inferno can't do much to kill Stego either though. In the end you just have to pick your fights and positioning and focus fire with your teammates

>>715480014
Correct. People slap the "pay2win" label on anything with a cash shop now. Mechabreak’s monetization boils down to cosmetics and convenience, not raw power. You can unlock all the mechs with regular gameplay and nothing a premium user has gives them an insurmountable edge. If anything, the biggest threat is just bad teammates who pick DPS and run off into the void.

>>715481123
>and nothing a premium user has gives them an insurmountable edge
Let me correct you: paying users have NO edge over non-paying users in PvP

>>715481338
Slight one?

>>715481623
like what?

>>715481623
no not in 6v6, in ranked and casual and 3v3 you have no edge, it is in mashmak you can get an slight edge by paying, and most people spend money on cosmetics anyway

>>715479345
Serenith. The satellite cannon is so fun too use. Only weird thing is that it's absolutely not support - if this is support then every attacker in the game is also support.

>>715482263
I think it's supposed to mean "fire support".
