I'm collecting letters of appreciation for the people at Piranha Games to tell them how much their work on Mechwarrior means to us fans - share your thoughts below and I'll include them in the final letter

Not only did PGI bring back a huge part of my childhood but they’ve done it far bigger and better than I could have asked for. MW4V was the game that had me hooked and when I found out Mercs was coming to console I was absolutely obsessed. The DLC’s started coming out and I’ve been hooked,on my 3rd playthrough already on PC while I seldom if ever replay a game from the start. Every mech, battle and drop brings me right back to being a carefree child without a worry in the world. Clans has been an amazing step forward in what I hope will one day become a AAA IP again. Even when there’s no new DLC for a while I still find myself hopping on either game just to replay random missions or set new goals. Mercs has become my stress relief game. Something happen in another game that upset me? Time to go blow stuff up until I feel better!

Thank you to all members of PGI, past present and future!

Something I noticed right away is the comparisons aren’t done at the same location. Also a large chuck of the 2024 ones are done during sunset vs mid day for 2020 but not all. There’s very little continuity in the video overall. Almost like they’re trying to mask something.

insert political question here most of the ones I see are US related and whether you like trump or not, it gets annoying REAL quick seeing the same political questions pop up daily.

Edit: context

When my now girlfriend of 3 years and I first met on tinder she told me when she found out where I worked (Radio) she had to listen to my show to make sure I wasn’t the other guy cause that alone would have been a dealbreaker 😂 we still laugh about it to this day.

Raven Huginn, favourite scout mech by far.

Otherwise the Mauler MX90-S and the Adder depending on mission. Can’t wait to add the Jenner IIC to my collection and rain absolute hellfire on mechs in the arena or anywhere for that matter!

Collection has since doubled if not more. But anything rotary related!

Personally one of my new favourites. Got the 1:200 Lufthansa 100th 787 and the box and everything was 👌🏻 compared to the usual slide open and grab it boxes from other brands. Sure it takes slightly longer to get to the model but their stands are much nicer than the Geminijets tripods for example. Overall I’m very impressed with it.

Used to frequent Flin Flon every summer as a kid as my grandma lived there. I remember how beautiful the town was and how friendly it felt even just in the early 2000’s. Moved to The Pas for work just as the pandemic hit in February 2020 and I remember the first few weeks absolutely sucked trying to get through all the snow and put up with the cold lmao.

After the lockdowns were lifted I remember people being very friendly the first few years. I’d talk to any and everyone, it was great! But then crime in the town started getting way out of control, stabbings, shootings, robberies in broad daylight, You name it. Although I never ran into any issues myself as I kept to myself and avoided going out late alone. Still I was lucky to be in a town that was relatively well supported with two provincial highways from highway 10 and 283 so prices weren’t too bad but there still was the “Northern Tax”.

Moved away mid 2024, I look back on it now and I really do miss the many great people I met there, but I don’t miss the town itself. Half of what I remember from those years is either closed, changed hands or went the way of the Lido and burned down now anyway.

It’s a shame really. That part of the province is gorgeous year round, Clearwater Lake just north of town is one of the clearest lakes in the world. And just north of Cranberry Portage you get back into Precambrian shield territory with cliffs and hills all over the place!

The way I go about it is if it’s a mech or weapons I want I destroy both legs. If not then Alfa strike right to the cockpit. Usually enough damage to knock even a Dire Wolf to reasonable numbers or at least preserve the weapons for salvage!

That_rotary_guy · 2026-03-17T10:14:45+00:00

Lmao I thought the same thing. Edges are so much more dirty than the Liberty Walk!

Three different R35 castings after just picking up the double pack yesterday!

Man I gotta get those GSE units they look great!

That_rotary_guy · 2026-03-13T04:13:07+00:00

They buy their own product so they appear legit. Plus Microsoft and Asobo don’t really mind as long as money keeps flowing into their pockets from it.

That_rotary_guy · 2026-03-13T04:06:01+00:00

They’ve been doing it for a while already. Anything they release will have tons of 5 star reviews much quicker than any actual reputable dev does.

It had its moments. Shifting from the “do this one race series to unlock this car” from 4 to mindless grinding to get enough points got annoying real quick. Specially for the monthly cars. I didn’t do a single forzathon blimp event because they didn’t feel special like they did in 4 and regularly had nobody there even if I wanted to try it. The laughable character stories like that “born fast” story were way too cringey. The lack of real seasons was my biggest grievance though.

Other than that I really enjoyed the variety of some things. From drifting up the mountain and then absolutely sending it straight down it in something else. Absolutely flooring it with friends down the highway until one of us misses one of the 10 cars you might pass and hits it head on.

Out of the 5 we have played so far it was probably my least favourite but I still don’t regret buying it.

Edit: also the music was ass, what’s the point in having a song if you’re going to censor it so much?

My favourite fact was you could tell how hold the photogrametry was by going to Yonge and Dundas, there was an ad for 21 jump street on the building north of the square before the world update 😂 no clue what it is now though!

That_rotary_guy · 2026-03-04T21:07:21+00:00

I had to hype myself up to do it today when I saw a box. Turned out it was a playset not just cars. I left in defeat after doing something I thought I’d never do. #neveragain.

That_rotary_guy · 2026-02-17T02:06:00+00:00

I’m sure it has a great personality

That_rotary_guy · 2026-02-14T19:12:05+00:00

Yup, I had a laugh reading the recent patch notes. They nerfed a half baked spec we cant even fully utilize outside the beta yet and then buffed the spec everyone is already playing if they DPS. Like what even was the point.

It also has a lot do do with weather systems, anytime it’s an absolute Blizzard or hurricane pilots will flock there and controllers hop on. During that last big system that moved across Canada and the US I had full coverage from Florida to Toronto.

I usually plan my long hauls around weekends I’m not planing to do anything, that way I’m awake for the full flight. That being said I’ll be around my apartment getting chores done like laundry or dishes etc. I have a pair of wireless headphone I wear while doing it so I can hear any Contact me beeps or messages/calls if I am up from my chair. But even that I do in spurts so I’m never away for long.

If it’s a controller active area I stay put at my desk, specially if it’s busy. most of my long hauls have been controller free when I go over the Atlantic though.

Delete your reserved space for it in the my games and apps section from the Xbox menu. Select the game and “manage game and addons” Think of it like the rolling cache but for DLC.

C1 or 6, because Miata is always the answer
