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

>Looks like a mobile game
Are you actually retarded?

>>2146796
people will call literally anything a mobile game it's fucking hilarious

>>2146789 (OP)
no obviously not

>>2146796
You beat me to it. I was on my phone so I couldn't be bothered waiting. OP is actually retarded for saying that.

>>2146789 (OP)
mega pozzed slop

>>2146796
>>2146804
>>2146818
look at the animation of the units moving and shooting

>>2146789 (OP)
>Will Menace be good?
maybe
it looks decent so far even if there are plenty of red flags raised

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.

>>2146903
Isn't campaign proc generated?

>>2146905
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.

Mid at best.

>lusting after pajeet woman

>>2146918
I'm lusting after 2D woman. We've always known 3D is PD

>>2146919
she sound annoying like hell in a trailer

>>2146920
Sound is also 3D. I will turn voices off and read text in the voice I want her to have. Also Would that one as well. Would both.

>>2146923
Also would.

>>2146926
Maybe if someone does a voice mod to make her extremely thirsty for white boys

>>2146923
Why SHOULDN'T I make the adorable, petite black girl Heavy Assault Infantry?

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

>>2146933
I agree with the content of your post but your english is atrocious.

>>2146934
shrug
die in a ditch

>>2146935
Stug is eternal.

>>2146938
but that ERA mounting is absolutely retarded

>>2146933
>I would much more preferred that they have more characters and more starts
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.

>>2146940
>BB
devs absolutely hated fanbase there, and did everything to obstruct modding to a point of encoding files so they couldn't be modded
we will see if they changed their approach to modding

>>2146939
>drones u in the roof

ok the tracks probably don't need top protection

>>2146945
>in your way
>>2146946
dunno about that

>>2146946
although the assault killdozer conversions we're seeing in the ukraine do cover absolutely everything in spaced armor

>>2146939
>but that ERA mounting is absolutely retarded
Checks out. ERA being mounted by a bunch of redneck mercenaries is going to be retarded. Only adds to the aesthetic for the game

>>2146949
you play as regular colonial marines or something, can hire local auxiliaries tho
>>2146948
.

>>2146930
bro she just had her nails done. show some consideration

>>2146950
>you play as regular colonial marines or something, can hire local auxiliaries tho
Sci-fi colonial marines in some backwater edge system are definitely going to be pretty ragtag.

>>2146954
get me out of this chickenshit outfit

>>2146955
???
>>2146954
you get military grade gear if you can afford it and find it on black market/capture it, you can also get some local stuff

>>2146957
I think he was referencing Aliens. You know, the OG colonial marines.

>you get military grade gear if you can afford it and find it on black market/capture it, you can also get some local stuff
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.

>>2146958
you supposedly start with armored carrier >>2146891
also skills

>>2146958
you have limits on deployment points, so dunno how it gonna roll
giga nigga have south african name, not a afro american one

>>2146961
Get Motherfucked is a wild perk name.

Oh, it's that Battle Brother's devs' thing. I hate one-word titles because they're easy to forget and sometimes awkward to search for.

>>2146789 (OP)
>Will Menace be good?
It will. Not to mention devs confirmed that the game will get a lot of modding support.
Wish we knew more about the alien menace (pun intended here).
>mobile
It's not.

>>2147200
>Not to mention devs confirmed that the game will get a lot of modding support.
We will see. They were lying before, so this will not be their first time.

>>2147299
What are you referring to?

>>2146789 (OP)
it looks kinda ass, lets hope it plays better than it looks

>>2147299
BB deep lore

so its gonna get demo or ea soon? or not?

>>2147817
Supposedly late September.

>>2147828
31st?

>>2147828
22.10
supposedly

>>2147299
No modding = insta pirate for me.

I hope you're reading this devs.

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.

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.

>>2149264
It looks nothing like XCOM, thoughever.

>>2146789 (OP)
have we seen any aliens yet
if there's no aliens i will not be buying

>>2146950
What the fuck is the point of this?

>>2149552
when you connect it to electricity source it generate force field that repel attack drones, bullets, grenades, rpg and bird shit

>>2149552
>What the fuck is the point of this?
To detonate munitions further away from the vehicle, where they are less effective.

>>2146903
>>2146905
>>2146907
They say it has a story.
I imagine there will be a bunch of generic missions on the map >>2146911 for you to as you see fit and one highlighted STORY TRACK for you to do that advances the games story / or alternatively once you get to the end of the progression of missions on that map you then go to a story mission

>>2149528
you can see some sort of weird cyborg soldiers in brief snips of game footage

>>2149528
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.

>>2149698
The "aliens" are borg/strogg cyborgs as far as I know

>>2146958
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.

No chance.
