Re: Index going bankrupt(Atlus parent company)
Even SquareEnix is having problems. Maybe this is just a shift in crowd preference, most people want direct control of their characters lately because it lets them have more power.
I myself have been avoiding MMOs lately after going through too many and quitting once the grind gets too slow. Which all comes down to pacing really.
But ultimately I love direct control games like Need for Speed, Devil May Cry, Armored Core, Borderlands, Phantasy Star, and Monster Hunter. And lately I've been hoping for a new PC Mech Simulator now that MechWarrior's dead (sure MWOnline exists, but the made keyboard+mouse have too much of an advantage in that, I want my Joystick to not be a handicap).

I did, but I can't really call that a Mech Sim. It's just a Shooter, and not even a good one because it's game credits vs. cash cost makes it Pay to Win unless you wanna spend endless DAYS of losing just so you can buy 1 new mech only to find out that it sucks.nobodyknows wrote:Have you ever played Hawken?Erranty wrote:And lately I've been hoping for a new PC Mech Simulator now that MechWarrior's dead (sure MWOnline exists, but the made keyboard+mouse have too much of an advantage in that, I want my Joystick to not be a handicap).

All the Mechs there are repurposed mining mechs and built from Junk anyway, you're better off looking for games with Military grade mechs.Erranty wrote:I did, but I can't really call that a Mech Sim.
