I'm pre-loaded and all ready. From Sidestrafe's stream I'm not seeing many PPC and it really seems that AC10s are king, but I'll do my best to field as many PPCs mechs  and melee mechs  * as I can! *Why is there no Axeman in the game goddamn.

We currently have 31 sign-ups for the launch tourney! If you want to get in on it add your name and timezone to the list here! Quick reminder of the rules: 1. Stock Mechs Only 2. 25 Million C-Bill Limit 3. This is a quickfire tournament, so you have 48 hours from the pairings being posted to organise and play your round. 4. Winner gets bragging rights Sign-ups are open until I wake up hungover tomorrow! (24ish hours from this post!) Due to the amount of sign-ups, I am going to try and setup the first few rounds so you are playing against people in a similar timezone.

Beaglerush has a jagermech with 2xAC10 and nothing else and its  level of damage output is only concealed by the fact that all his other mechs overheat super quickly. He does have a nice LRM boat now but it's a goddamn wolverine so it could be better, that extra movement is kind of wasted.

I was only vaguely aware of this game being a thing and just discovered it is being released tomorrow. Is it any good? I like big rear end robots, I like turn based tactical games, is this one any good if you don't know anything about Battletech? It's going to rain tomorrow and thursday and I need something to do.

Getting dismissed with prejudice against HBS certainly bodes well for the future, but the real kicker is going to be what happens with PGI.

Yeah I jumped on the pre-order train as well, only saw anything about it in the last week and it looks great. Was a 20% off pre-order on fanatical for the broke like me, have high hopes.

Why'd you lock it down, isildur? I hope it's not gone, I was enjoying working through your game design musings and objectively correct opinions about Rolemaster. e: actually, with a little more thought I can answer my own question. Everything will be ok

The Digital Deluxe version gives you a pack of wallpapers, an Artbook PDF and a copy of the soundtrack (which absolutely owns). Up to you if that's worth $10 or not. WinGameStore has it for 10% off, so a $4 discount. Not aware of any others.

Speaking of old rear end computer equipment... my desktop recently melted down and the replacement hasn't yet arrived. I have a pretty solid laptop though (i7-6650U w/16 gigs RAM). Should I be able to run this at low settings with Iris integrated graphics, or am I SOL until my new rig arrives?

So, I have a question or two. it may involve spoilers and/or questions for either people who have watched streams or background-logic about the game, but just in case, I figured I'd give it a heads up due to potential spoilers. I've been trying to avoid having early bits ruined, but ended up poking into Coh's stream out of curiosity, at least for the tutorial mission, and poked around a bit for non-spoilery bits, the mechlab, interface, that sort of thing. So, its left a few lingering curiosities. 1)At what point do you actually get the Argo to play around with? All my peeks just involved a leopard, and paying other people to ferry you around. 2) there was a little random event segment involving the banks that own/lease the dropships, and I really liked the discussion amongst the party about what to do about it. It culminated in a choice about how to talk to/approach your loan agent, to sweet talk them or remind them of the law, or another option I forgot, but it sends a message back to your creditors and establishes a relationship about your loan status going forward. But that decision point makes me wonder just how deep this game is going to be. So, I saw this happen and went 'huh'. Is this event a trap option, in which the only right move is to remind the other party of their obligations, and the other two are worse? Or Is this basically an easy/medium/hard mode check in disguise? Is the logic tree behind the event savvy enough to handle a two-faced betrayal, where the banks go 'oh, someone is trying to sweet talk me, clearly they're desperate and about to default, lets play nice but assemble the repo party behind the scenes' and later, surprise visits? How are the bounty hunter attacks handled? Obligatory missions, extra enemies? Random events? The clever player might go 'but I WANT extra enemies to shoot and salvage their stuff', making the challenge mode actually potentially more fun. Are there follow up events that play off your previous decisions? Tldr: is this a title that should be approached with real-world or video game know how? inquiring minds wish to know!
