PC Player - Mechwarrior 2 Review

[wwwNooBcom]

Would it be possible to put english subs in any of your vids please

[MrTex1987]

I made the jump to Mech2 when it first came out....i was 8 yrs old or so...My mom and my aunt would stay up for days playing on NetMech haha. idk if it was the fact that the women who raised me were playing this game full blast or just the fact that I was so young...but this game was way scarier than any doom quake wolfenstein or duke nukem I had ever played. The Mech2 intro had me at the verge of tears haha...I couldnt believe what I just watched....It was so profound and so realistic then...

@MrTex1987 Wow, never found anyone else who said something like this. I felt pretty much the same way. I was only 11 or so when I played this. I found the ending cinematics especially emotional, and felt I understood their sentiments exactly. Playing in a dark room and having the the mech's cockpit flash red as it suffered the final critical hits before blowing were absolutely terrifying - it was quite an experience if you actually survived through the red flashed and completed the mission.

[Sp3ctre18]

@MrTex1987 That plus the music that sounded like a totally new genre and fit so well, the in-universe feel of the "menu screens," if you can call them that, the crazy amount of things your computer would report to you, the physics (except for legging, lol).....all of it was so realistic and immersive.

[MrTex1987]

@Sp3ctre18 Yes! The music was as vast and moving as the universe itself. You can still see all of the attention to detail the rogrammers ut into this game and its still a blast! You were in the distant future and yet reading the action reorts aftermath and historical archives all set the bar so high, I think it was the only game to ever be called an "Action Simulator" Game makers never ull out all the stos anymore. Sorry. 1 of my keys is inoerative! TArget is beYond iNsecton RAdIUs! "DAMAT!!"

[Sp3ctre18]

@MrTex1987 Agreed; it set the bar very high and I haven't seen any game reach that level of detail, apparent complexity, immersion, and realism yet. I thought MW3 was a decent follow up, btw. MW2 didn't get you a good sense of the story; though. It was there, but you didn't really feel it well, imo. MW3 totally turned that around with long briefings, video, chatter, some funny banter, good sense of direction, and lots of things going wrong! - though other aspects did fall below MW2-level.

[MrTex1987]

@Sp3ctre18 I fucking loove Mech Warrior 3 too and MW4 online was sick too, you could run it off of either disk and I let my friend trial it but he ended u stealing it so now I just got the first disk :( Both were definatly good stes in the right direction, but my only beef with MW3 was that it was too easy. I dislike easy games though, like all the hl-2 but hl-1 was amazing though. Really turned me on to science and weird sciences, like electromagnetic jet roulsion technolgy, really cool stuff!

der typ is komisch

[Classicjarheads]

"Hail Hitler"....wait, what?

[KingKobrah]

[hippiezombie]

You ring up a very good point

[freddiebarry93]

[spatzist]

I always shot his leg off and left him for dead =P

[DerKnofi]

Dammit, where is the german Computer Voice??!

It was hell a lot better than english.. *grummel*

War sehr viel erotischer. :D

[Escuderoam]

this guys in europe and he's wearing a Chicago Blackhawks shirt?

[Killerratte]

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!1111

[Barcode711]

No, just weird.

Probably lives in the US and did a translated version of his review.

[NovaColonel]

Certainly not - I know the journalist (well, not personally, but he was an actual author of the pc player magazine back then. On the other hand, I find it weird to see how you Americans think anything outside the US and not poor can be generalized as "Europe".... It's Bavaria, Germany.

Unglaublich, mit welcher Arroganz die Amis manchmal auftreten. Wenn er schon die Sprache nicht erkennt, soll er dichthalten...

[tb152]

Halt deine anti-amerikanische Commie-Fresse.

[NovaColonel]

Unglaublich, dass solche Vollidioten wie Du ein Alter erreichen können, in dem man schon Schreiben gelernt hat. Normalerweise hättest Du schon längst durch Deine Dummheit umkommen müssen...

[darkfiete]

@tb152

halt deine faschisten fresse!

[thadea]

1) you Americans = pejorative...you should change your attitude or find yourself doing what you critique

2) The guy's profile reads Germany and yeah...obviously in europe Einstein

[NovaColonel]

1) Agreed, to an extent. I just encountered too many Americans on youtube (those I know in rl are nice guys) who would put up a fight for no reason and start insulting me... maybe I've grown too sensitive for it.

2) Of course, but he doesn't differentiate enough. There are huge differences between European countries, whereas Canada and the US are (culturally) way less distinct. But, of course, the same as for 1 goes here: grown too sensitive...

[cart13]

@Killerratte THIS IS SPARTA !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 11111

[thadea]

and...?

[nfoo]

Well, no matter what: this game was awesome.

I rarely rememer a game that got me so immersed.

Oder auf Deutsch: Ein irres Spiel.

Ich kann mich kaum in ein anderes Spiel erinnern in das man so eintauchen konnte ... Die ganze Mechwarrior-Atmosphäre war genial umgesetzt und man konnte alles um sich herum vergessen ...

[Downmaster]

He did like the technical aspects of the game, but complained about the storyline (or rather the lack thereof) if you want to know it exactly ;)

[SirxMMPD]

Ah thanks, I was wondering myself what he said.

[3dwardXP]

did he rate it good ? lol
