Opening Cutscene

the intro to advanced busterhawk gleylander has excellent music, good enough that i watch the entire 5 minute saga every time i load the game

also, even though there’s not much actual animation, it’s still pretty impressive for a cartridge game in 1992

Another “mainly for the music” but this is up there with Space Harrier as a top sprite-scaler

I love this opening because it shows exactly how fucking useless machineguns are in the real game

HOW COULD I FORGET well it’s because I don’t really think of it as an “opening cutscene” because it’s an adventure game lol but still this is absolutely, 100%, #1 the greatest vidcon opening of all time:

The second half is boring and dumb but the first half is almost Shattered Soldier cool

My entire star of hardened Clan Wolf warriors committed seppuku because our commanding officer got aced while he was brutalizing a painfully outmatched Hatchetman who had taken catastrophic damage from an LRM volley. The enemy pilot panic-fired his chest machineguns into our commander’s Mad Dog, got a fucking critical hit on the torso for system damage, nailed three direct hits on his engine - in what’s one of the most improbable rolls I’ve ever seen in my fucking life - and caused his mech to explode immediately.

Ok, but, did you ever play Mechwarrior 2

MGs are useful for heat management on some mech builds and they were popular in multiplayer on laser boats for that very reason. They’re situational in the same way PPCs are. Did you ever play Mechwarrior 2?
