Heh, what I was actually thinking watching the Tukkayid 3 video.

Where are all the players?
How can PGI be trusted?

Win or lose, I'll just be happy if I can actually find 10 matches to get the 4,000 match score prize.. if they're doing T3 rewards like they did T2.

I need to finish getting this laptop updated so I can play web games on it while I'm sitting in queue on my desktop in MWO for.. what.. 30 minutes per match?.. more if the populations are imbalanced..

I know, I just laughed my butt off when I saw that. I can't even. How is it even possible to make something as lame as that in 2017, for a game with such a rich background and so many talented fans? Not even a cheap TOR-style animated video? Not even Command & Conquer-esque fake TV?

Heck, they could have even done something cool like an audio teaser like this video.



MFW a single fan with zero budget does a better job with a fantasy battletech production compared to a full development studio.

Hang on I need two Picards for this.....

Chances are that NGNG put it together, but even then makes it look like a minimally viable job.

I mean, you made an already low expectation worse.

I guess "that's something".

Low expectations for PGI promotional content (remember the Clan Invasion trailer? A bunch of mechs standing on HPG Manifold? Lawl.) or for the third Tukayyid event when nobody even cared about the second one, let alone cared about Faction Play for the past six months? I could say that it's better than the standard Easter / St. Patrick's Day / Halloween / Mother's Day events that have nothing to do with Battletech, but those still outnumber the actual lore-based events by something like 30:1. And I don't believe that's an exaggeration.

At least it gave me a good chuckle. I'm grateful for that.

Clan Invasion trailer was just a camera look around over old River City. I mean "Clans" = River City with smoke amirite?
