    Do you believe PA should try to break the 4th wall more often? What do you think that makes a game immersive?

    Is immersion actualy important in RTS games? Something wich popped up and was curious what everyone thought about it.

    Whenever I think about immersion and strategy games, the MechCommander intro runs through my head.

    The RTS genre has never really been one in which I've cared for immersion, but I do think atmosphere with regards to music and sound effects is incredible important, as are breaking the barriers to entry in terms of the games interface and usability.

    I feel RTS is more fun when you're invested in the universe. I'd give a reason but I can't put it into words right now

    The new MechWarrior Online is pretty fun, shame it's completely pay2win though :(

    That video linked me to a teaser for a MW5.
    Am excite. Unless they dumb it down for modern audiences. Which they likely will with it being on console

    That'd be MechWarrior Online which has been in Beta for a while now. It's awesome, but the microtransactions are completely P2W, which sucks. Gameplay is definitely pure MW though.

    Yeah, I was given a steam rant by how predatory some of the pricing is on just the paint schemes along. I was in the closed beta though, and couldn't run it for sh*t on my laptop xD
