We've all played games like Mech Warrior, Armored Core, and even Custom Robo. My question is- What do you look for when you get these games?
Do you focus on your ability to customize, the level of control you have over your mech, the action speed, Or even how easy it is to learn?
I'm curious to hear what everyone's expectations are towards games like these. Anything and everything you look for with this genre.
For me, the biggest "seller" is the level of customization. Armored Core has always offered limitless possibilities. Second only to customization is the level of control you have. I want to be able to control every aspect of my mech, regardless of how tough the controls are. It gives me a senes of accomplishment to control something so difficult and make it seem like I'm doing it with ease.
Another major seller for me are things like the Arena in AC. The ability to keep climbing up the ranks as an alternative to the main story mode. While games like Mech Warrior offer customization, they've never really had a decent alternative to the story mode.
