out this friday. never played any of these games despite having a ps1 and ps2 as well as now having a ps3.

it is made by From Software, and due to my love of Dark Souls this has got me interested in this game

any one any experience playing these types of games ? is there a steep learning curve to be able to play online ?

last one I played was on PS2. When it got to PS3 they changed the controls around a bit and it threw me off. Still have Masters of Arena around here somewhere. No PS1 to play it on mind you, but I consider that Title to be collectible.

Played AC 4 and was unimpressed, the PS1 versions were fun! These ones suck. Badly.

Be fair, thats 1 out of 10.

if we were out of 10 id probably still have given it .5 - but i liked the intro, so a 0 wouldve been harsh :P

Its such a pity they suck, I mean they have a fantastic premise. Why can't they make an amazing mech game? Why???????

On a related note OP the online will not be populated for this in about six months, I found I was playing mainly Japanese players, so there was latency issues, honestly avoid, I was hoping this would be good too, but it looks dirt!

looked interesting , and was hoping it would be good. Ah well , at least €50 saved instead

Picked this up today, not terrible, its not as fast as the last one, online is dead though, no one on.

Talking about mech games

2 games that have caught the eye

MechWarrior and Hawken-Mech look pretty sweet

biggest thing i like about this is the difference using the right tools makes in a fight, go in with the wrong ones and you're dead in no time but use the right one and it's a win.

Has anyone else bought this, could be class with a few people actually playing it?

Old fan of the series so I picked this up but haven't got stuck into it.

Hopefully it's at least reasonably balanced for duelling.
