Because since Zone of Enders nothing worthwhile was released.

>Why did the mech game genre completely die in the west?
Because the genre is associated with Mechwarrior franchise in the West, which is famous for its slow paced, tactical and teamwork focused combat and casuals don't like any of these things.
We still have MWO and the upcoming HBS Mechwarrior TBS game, though.
Xavier Lewis
The HBS BattleTech game will revive it.
William Price
animu is passe now
Jeremiah Lopez
No interest. Koreans dominate online play.
Benjamin Thomas
Because nothing actually new was happening with them.
Cooper Anderson
TANKS VS MECHS ONLINE NOW REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Jason Brown
The technology is already here and balancing the game would be a piece of cake.
Benjamin Cruz
Might be nice.
When is it coming?
Tyler Collins
I think mech design is stale as they are all huge bulky pieces of shit.

I bet you like Gundam Seed too
Thomas Gonzalez
Mechs are unrealistic and dumb
Leo Roberts
>Hate mechs

Yet I find great.
Help?
Jose Scott
The amount of energy needed for that thing to take one step is ridiculous.
Fucking terrible.
Ryan Smith
How many steelbatallion niggas we got up in hurr?
Cameron Cruz
You either simplify it and it ends up eastern or you make it complex and nobody will buy it
Ryan Green
It's dead everywhere now, senpai.
Jaxson Hughes
Not sure why it died, but the exact time it did die was when Mechwarrior was put on a console as a third person shooter.

I miss Chromehounds

Chase Richardson
That is exactly the fucking point.
It is the literal personification of brute force FUCK YOU. It's barely even a mech, It is more akin to a mobile fortification.
IT'S A WALKING CASTLE HERE TO TO FUCK YOU AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
Angel Sanchez
Simple, it runs on 40k logic.

Because all the teenagers who buy the majority of games want the same realistic shooters year after year instead.

>mech game genre
they're just first person shooters. the 'mech' theme is one of many that had a surge in popularity and then dwindled, much like zombie shooters.
Robert Young
Heavy Gear was the last great western mech series, and probably the greatest made
HG1 was a masterpiece desu
Gavin Price
How do I even play MW4 Merc's these days?
Adam Cooper
By downloading the game and installing it, you dumb pilot.
Nolan Watson
west can't into mecha
Isaiah Rodriguez
Rule of cool
Connor Lopez
I miss Line of Contact.
Kayden Gonzalez
Late next year or early 2018.
Josiah King
It's garbage
Alexander Evans
This, quite frankly.
Cooper Ramirez
>west can't into mecha
>mecha
This. West can't into anime-tier arcade shooters for brain-dead weeaboo mongoloids, who are too dumb to play actual simulators like MW3.

You are retarded and know nothing about electric motor drives. Stop pretending like your opinion is based on some sort of valid knowledge and is not just pulled out of your ass.

Should i?
Daniel Harris

I'm not even going to comment on how dumb you are. Out of all the things you could've said to insult Western mech games, you've literally chosen the dumbest shit to say, congratulations.
Jason Ward
>someone proves you wrong
>wahh retard retard here´s a l-link to pewdiepie videos
why i even keep coming in here? the website´s pure shit

Kevin Morales
Because no one is funding them
Jaxson Moore
>proves
Pulling dumb shit out of your ass does not count as "proof" and no, I'm not the guy you had an "argument" originally. I've literally posted you an IRL example of an actually working, commercial hexapod mech, yet you still choose to spout retardation despite me giving you actual proof.
Kill yourself, mongoloid, you'll just do this board a favor.

DELET THIS
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Jaxon Ward
sorry
Anthony Martinez
I-i didn't think you actually would.
Cameron Thompson
>actual proof
I knew you guys are masters of telling lies to yourself but this is some expert level delusion
Daniel Ortiz
>spending this much time to convince randoms that ur mech would actually work irl
lmao at ur life nerd
Camden Edwards
Not him but those games are just kind of boring. Most of the fun for me is building and customizing a mech. Every mechwarrior game I've played is just picking a mech and choosing the weapons or something.
Blake Campbell
I'm pretty sure we're getting a new Battletech game from the Shadowrun Dragonfall devs.
Jeremiah Myers
What the fuck did you just say about me you little bitch?
Kevin Rogers
Dick literally diamonds. I wish this didn't cost so much.
Dominic Parker
>why did the mech game genre compeletely die in the west
Because it was only being held up by mechwarrior, and MW5 went through development hell.
And the MWO devs fucked over the MWLL devs to such a huge degree that it left bad blood which alienates a fair portion of what should be their core fanbase to this fucking day.
What a surprise, something battletech related being horribly mismanaged and full of overzealous companies fucking people over.
