Unfortunately, Mechwarrior Online is still in a glorified beta state. They just-this past Tuesday-rolled out a new UI that radically changes the game's interface for the worse; this is like (Office 2003 -> Office w/Ribbon * Win 95 -> Win 8)^10 Though the beta ended months ago, it is still going for all points and purposes.[/color]

The game is horribly unoptimized (why anyone would use CryEngine for a game is a mystery) and still only runs under DirectX9, despite Nvidia long-standing boast that it uses DX11. [/color]

I need to try Tribes:Ascend at some point. I do wish that Tribes:Vengeance would get stripped of DRM, given widescreen support and put on GOG, as Tribes 2 was (and continues to be) a classic.[/color]

There is always one

You mean they seem to like the game. If it was "us", that would require us to be part of the dev team or an investor. Sadly, we are neither.

Obviously Maximum has a low expectation threshold.

But you know he is right this game lacks basic functionality it doesn't deserve to be in any top list, and guys that do these should have high expectation for any game and criticise every fault because that is their job. Even if I love this game I can close my eyes and tell people how good it is because it is not.

The game is pretty awsome man, you gotta be a nitpicker to really keep repeating the same things that have already been said+the game is headstrong with getting content out. 2 patches a month+all the core features that are gonna be out this year. when judging a game you mainly look at it of how its gonna be in the long run, not the daily whine. The game can only be improved, and of course like us PGI cant always get things right the first time. I can say i enjoy the game as it is now but it definitely can be better.

nice try tho+basic functionality? if it didn't have that we couldn't even enter a match less than that switch mechs. the game is pretty functional, i dont know what you consider basic functionality.

I guess you have low expectation for games but I don't. Basic functionality means you have finished UI,Lobbies,spectator mode,voip, chat lobbies and proper mode for team matches. This is minimum i expect for games to have at launch in addition to what we have now.

[rolly]

Basic Functionality?

None of these for starters...

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes if you drag the cryengine error popup to a corner (so it isn't in the way) you can keep playing as normal?
