Hey everyone. Hope you all had a good week and relaxing weekend. I actually didn’t game much this weekend as I was preparing to move apartments and also went on a weekend trip with friends, but I did squeeze in some Xcom 2 today. Hope everyone has a productive week.
Finished up the main campaign for Battletech (2018) and now I’m kinda bouncing between things trying find the next thing to stick with.
Andor hype had me playing Partisans 1941 a bit. Set up a PS3 emulator and played a little MGS4. Just plinking away at games until something grabs me lol.
Would you recommend Battletech? I’ve heard a lot of people hype up Roguetech, but not much about the base game itself.
It delivers on the whole “running a mercenary outfit” fantasy imo. The tactical combat is pretty similar to the tabletop game, and there’s a light management layer. The pilots have little to no interaction (just random single choice events), but there’s a support cast that have a little more flavor.
I had to restart once since it felt like some of the pilot builds were a lot more useful than others - it took quite a few mistakes to figure out what worked well. The mechs are simple enough to respec, so it invites experimentation - pilots can’t respec and are kinda annoying to replace (maybe I was running too lean of a crew idk)
Overall, if that sounds appealing, it’s probably worth it on discount or
