I'm always wishing there was more interaction and discussion on the niche Lemmy groups. Today I got to wondering if there were some games we could focus on to help foster our small community. But what is everyone playing or interested in playing? Are we all off playing our own obscure indie favorites or are there some games we share?

I'm on an everything Battletech-related kick, so Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries is what I'm playing currently.

I love MW5. Its modding scene is so robust that the game is incredibly customizable to be basically whatever type of experience you want. That being said, my mod list is out of date so getting back into it would be a huge chore right now haha

Oooh I got started on that recently and then pulled away by other things, but I was enjoying it a great deal. The campaign is bit... ehhh. But that actual gameplay is a blast. I love the sense of scale (as long as you don't think too hard about the actual numbers it gives you for the weights of things)

Units of measurement are redefined a thousand years in the future :)

Or not, I dunno. Head Canon. :)

I picked that up on sale a while ago, but have only played a few quick missions. I haven't played MW since the early 2000s, but did play and love Battletech 2019.

Does the MW5 campaign give you the info dump while you are already in the mech and moving towards the objective like the older ones?

[–] antaymonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago

For the overwhelming majority of missions, the info is largely contained in a text briefing when selecting missions. For the story beat missions, though, it's voice acted stuff pre- and mid- mission.
