I have no problem playing Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries. I figured this would be no problem. Unfortunately, between unbelievable lag, even in menus, and the Fatal Error issue, it is simply not possible to play this game.

Some things I like. Gameplay is neat, feels like a horde mech shooter with how much you up against. But good lord the writing. This game gives me black fatigue. The clans were SCARY. Random periphery fighters were

Much better than MW5 Mercs. It is a fixed story line so not as much freedom, but also not as much precedurally generated garbage. It overall feels a lot more polished and the graphics are a bit cleaner (to be expected

Almost the opposite of Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries, you have a horse-blinder narrow game. Almost completely linear, with plot issues and canon errors that go from minor to egregious. The cutscenes are okay at some

I like the overhauled visuals, using an entirely different engine despite it still being called "Mechwarrior 5", sadly that engine is UE5. I haven't had performance issues, but many others have. Environments are clearly
