This is separate from mecha games like Gundam and Metal Warriors/Assault Suit Valken... and more in line with stuff like Earthsiege/Mechwarrior/Front Mission

Don't really play a lot of mecha games, though I remember Front Mission 3 had the option to swap parts around and build your own mech out of the leftover parts from ones you've destroyed, or that you buy on the black market. And I liked FM3, even if FM4 kind of soured me on the franchise (though that was also at a time when I was going off JRPGs in general).

And yes, I know you said Front Mission doesn't count, but it's probably the only game along those lines I've ever really played.

No, I said Front Mission DOES count... it's almost the epitome of interchangable mecha parts

The closest thing is Mechwarrior 3 and 4 (and Mechcommander) but I don't think those count since all you're doing is changing weapons and not the actual parts of the mechs.

Ahh, I misread. I thought you were saying you more wanted to know about "good" games in your words.

Oh, I can see how it can be read that way. I meant that those without interchangable parts may also be good.

I loved the concept of it, but the game itself wasn't that great, and the controller wasn't sturdy enough - if you're going to pay that much for a controller, with that many buttons, and where the failure of even one button or stick pretty much ruins the whole thing, it better be built to last for 20 years.

I did love the people who were insane enough to build entire frames for the controller so it straight up felt like they were in a mech cockpit, though. Like the people who would take driving wheels and set them up with actual car seats, side mirrors, and surround sound so you almost feel like you're right there in the car.

exactly. i was an amazing concept, but it completely backfired because it wasnt a great game. i didnt even know the controllers were that flimsy though. that is just dumb.

Played Front Mission 3 for the PS1 years ago and thought it was pretty fun. That's the only entry in the series I've played though, no idea if the others are any good.

well MechWarrior/BattleTech for damn sure. one of the best franchises there are, just hasn't seen a great game in a very long time. BattleTech 2018 was pretty good, but we really need another MechWarrior 2 or 3. (If you're asking for specific favorite, mine is definitely MechWarrior 3 and its expansion, though a lot of people really like MW2: Mercenaries.)

best part of BattleTech 2018 is the intro, which sums up the awesomeness of the universe pretty nicely
