Excellent game..... IF you mod it. Sorry, they're required. If you aren't going to mod it then really its a bit mediocre. Mods add features that should have been in the game to begin with, and ofc add all sorts of additional content.

A simple Perspective of my thinking MW3 -> 9.5/10 MW4 -> 8.5/10 MW5 -> 6.5/10 (No expansions & No Mods) MW5 -> 9.5/10 (All expansions & Heavily Modded)

It's kinda like the fat free version of MechWarrior, by default it is very "streamlined" (read: missing features). The story is very generic but let's be honest you are buying this for career mode. Basically everything but the most basic stuff needs to be either modded in or is dlc. Don't want to play as generic Gamerguy? Mod! Want an actual mech lab where you can tune your stuff and select equipment like in MWO? Mod! More than 10 company logos? Mod! Competent AI? Mod! Melee weapons? Dlc! This game is like overprice instant Ramen, you gotta put like an egg in there or some veggies maybe some sriracha? Coop is fun tho. Only buy on sale.

I first played Mechwarrior 2 when I was 7 years old and absolutely sucked at it. The setting and concepts still burned in my brain and I hoped that one day I'd be able to return when I understood what it was to be a BattleMech pilot. A quarter of a century later and I start playing this game, having spent the past few decades working in IT, stakeholder relations, sales, and business administration just so I'd be able to understand and appreciate every last mechanic. And boy does it not disappoint. The graphical fidelity has obviously jumped leaps and bounds since the 90's, even when I include the rose-coloured glasses through which I view the past. It's absolutely gorgeous and fun and feels like you're striding one of those beasts. But then all the little management mechanics are the cream on top. Managing my crew, my mechs, buying and selling and salvaging and upgrading and factoring in jump times and weather? This is exactly the game for every person who was born to scout on horseback but forced to write asset management software.
