They're being restructured by their creditors. Wonder who will buy Atlus?

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).

Have you ever played Hawken?

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.

All the Mechs there are repurposed mining mechs and built from Junk anyway, you're better off looking for games with Military grade mechs.
