Will Menace be good?
Some of what they're showing looks interesting, but the cinematics they have released do not look anything like the gameplay which just looks like a mobile game

There's going to be a demo in a couple weeks, I reserve any judgement until that happens.
I'm not happy about there being only a more structured campaign, though.

I believe it's something like
>There is some number of stages
>each stage has a series of location types and enemies
>you do some number of missions per stage then move on to the next
>once you do all the stages you restart (or stop playing)
This seems completely inferior to a sandbox style campaign to me.

the biggest problem i see is starting conditions vs replayability
so far we know that you can choose 4 characters from 7 available and then recruit some extra on the way(like 2 doznes), with like having 10 teams for run
starting choice is very limited 4 from 7 and only one being vehicle pilot, rest being infantry teams so the combination is rather low
I would much more preferred that they have more characters and more starts(even unlockables) like in FTL - different ship, different starting resources and crew, different contacts etc
other red flag is that all characters come with personalities and relationship drama and I honestly do not believe that devs can pull off another JA2 tier characters or banter

I mean BB started with one start and then got loads more with updates and I'm sure there's mods that add even more. I'm sure they'll add more. Not a fan of preset characters with personalities in these sorts of games though. I liked the crew in XCOM but if they are done poorly you get a situation like Battletech, where no matter how you mod it, roleplaying is somewhat limited because your crew is always these same idiots.

Checks out. ERA being mounted by a bunch of redneck mercenaries is going to be retarded. Only adds to the aesthetic for the game

Sci-fi colonial marines in some backwater edge system are definitely going to be pretty ragtag.

Yeah makes sense for these sorts of games. Sense of progression is important, so you need to start with garbage and work your way up to a professional military outfit.

I am interested and I'm willing to give a lot of credit after Battle Brothers but it feels a lot less like replayable BB in space and much more like shitty X-Com which is not what I'd want it to be.
Anonymous No.2149267 [Report]
It's important to remember that Battle Brothers, despite being one of my favorite games of all time, only got REALLY good after several expansions which took years to release after launch, that it launched with some serious balance issues, and that the developers claimed they were going to abandon the game early before reneging and doing all those expansions and balance patches. Maybe they've learned, but I expect Menace to be at least heavily imperfect on release.

The promotional material and even the Steam page suggests that you will be fighting aliens, but all the gameplay footage I've seen was just humans vs humans. I guess they want to keep the actual aliens as more of a surprise revalation. As I understand it you'll fight humans in the early game and then the aliens show up as a mid/lategame escalation where you have to get everyone's shit together to fight them off.

The whole concept is that you're supposed to be an understrength marine detachment in some fuck ass backwater area with no real way to resupply. You get a small selection of marine leaders and moderate equipment at game start and then you have to negotiate with the factions in the sector to get additional reinforcements and equipment. By game end you'll be a mishmash of professional soldiers, mercs and armed riff raff going up against the titular Menace that's some sort of Borg type black goo stuff.

We've mostly seen some pirate and lower tech military gear, but there's been glimpses of full on power armor, kinetic shields and stuff.
