I knew this would happen.
I mean, I stay off the forums (a.k.a. warzone) because of all the complainers and that #whiningaboutwhatIwantMWOtobe thing, but at least thy shouldn't put this on Metacritic. They're not helping their case; they want the game to be changed, but by sending people away with negative reviews they don't allow new players to generate income for the game. The devs don't get income, the game never changes, and in the worst case scenario (sadly) the game dies. So they don't get what they want anyway. Unless of course MWO becomes a pay2win, which it isn't thankfully, and then people would start complaining more.

I've always loved battletech, I have the board game and I've played everything since MW 3. I really don't want this game to die. Sure the devs made some mistakes, but so do you and everybody else.

How's that Stockholm Syndrome working out for you?

I think the main mistake was releasing an unfinished, badly designed, ugly, poorly performing, pointlessly complex, shallow game. Missing almost every advertised feature just makes those issues more painful. Charging upwards of 40 dollars for barely different in game content is like those little wax figures at the top of a wedding cake layered full of awful decisions and disappointment. If they didn't communicate people would just think they had fired everyone and were on autopilot to squeeze money out of people, it's not like they're moving very fast with development.

This game is objectively bad, without the IP keeping diehards involved the game would have been canceled halfway into development once it became known that PGI didn't have the expertise to make this game at all.

Shuma just go. You offer nothing. Do you design games? Did you take a chance? Do you do anything other than put people down? Do you even play? It's apparent that you don't have people skills. You are a blight on these forums and should really move on.

Well, I think many people are disappointed in the lack of DX11 (let alone it being missing at launch). AFAIK, they are trying to "fix a bug" that affects the DX11 engine, but there's no ETA for that (as there can't realistically be one), but they need to fix that ASAP. I don't remember a modern game outside of say Starcraft 2 that doesn't have a DX10/DX11 engine. At least Blizzard can get away with this (they've kinda historically done this)... PGI genuinely cannot.



This may sound sad, but I've NEVER seen any MWO advertisements. Not a one. Maybe all those ad companies are data mining me all wrong...

Apparently you either don't use any social networking websites or you're a ghost and I want to know how you do it. Simply googling mechwarrior online once should trigger a few facebook ads for mechwarrior tactics and MC buy deals for online..

here's what you don't understand: [...] The game is so far away from their vision of what a Mechwarrior game should be (and I believe most founders had a similar vision in mind, although not identical) [...]

Sounds arrogant to me and i see wrong attitude in your words. Please talk for yourself only, not for all of us founders. I think this is the best mech warrior game we ever had...the last thing I know about this game class is 10 years of jump-sniping-PPC-gladiator-7LL-Novacat-parties. In MWO, you find pilots of every weight class who love their mech despite their ability to take an assault as well. Plus UAV gadgets and so much more fun. Swallow it and don't gossip the game in your frustration over PGI.

No. I offer my condolences. Yes. Yes. People other than you. Not this game, not since ghost heat. Sure I do. These forums are a blight already, I'm here to salt a well deserved wound (yours).

Well feel free to mention some really successful crowdfunding games that say we have no freaking clue when we're done with anything, but just give us money anyway.

Most of the indie games (FTL for example). I don't believe Project Eternity initially had a release date. The Oculus Rift doesn't really have a schedule for release.

The vast majority of crowdfunded games give rough updates now and then and a vague dev diary style of design goals. MWO did that, but then they released and started charging for the game. Money started flowing and adverts started appearing, so it stopped being crowdfunded in the crowdfunding sense and became crowdfunded in the "released product" sense. That has different standards applied.

Oh no ghost heat ruined my game. Waaaa Waaa. Grow up. Only people with **** builds had to worry about that to begin with.

@NekkiBasara I could just go play GTA 5 if I wanted to. If I don't like a game I don't whine about it for 6 months and still play it.

They always have an estimated delivery for the things you get as you pledge on Kickstarter, so I don't see how that could be considered no schedule.

Well either way feels like we're getting way off topic anyway.

If I never liked this game I wouldn't care. It'd be like Star Trek Online or Marvel Heroes or The Old Republic or any other F2P game I've tried and not been interested in. The problem with THIS game is that in late closed Beta, with a max of 15FPS on my system, this was the best Mechwarrior title that there ever had been. And now it is not. It was a rough diamond, and they've managed to ****** up the cutting.

Well looking at the a lot of the other Free to Play games on metacritic, I would say professional reviews wont start coming in for another month or two. So everyone should just sit back, relax, and check back in October or November.

...or maybe the professionals are going to wait until CW or UI2.0...you know, so that there's a reason to not just reprint the last review they did.

According to the reviews on metacritic, it's much better than World of Tanks!

They may be slow, but the balance is getting there.

"Slow, but getting there."

Is that a statement about MW:O, or a rehash of Duke Nukem Forever's development cycle?

lol @ manchildren hissy fits on the internet.

Pathetic my friends, yet at the same time entertaining watching grown men lact like spoiled 5 year olds.

sometimes the most pathetic thing is peoples lack of interest in regards to what should have been a relatively exciting launch but has lead to nothing, filled with more nothing and promises.
