I bought a Saitek x52 to play World of Warplanes with. I'm not really looking for simulators, I already have IL-2 Sturmovik (COD), X-plane, KSP...

Any arcade-y type games I can play with my new joystick? Doesn't have to be about planes.

If giant robots are your thing, I played the hell out of some Mechwarrior with my old Saitek HOTAS. I'm almost positive Mechwarrior Online has good joystick support.

@zoeytrope: That's a great idea. Mechs could absolutely be my thing.

edit: I guess it's out already!

@zoeytrope: It sadly doesn't. At least it didn't when I played it last time. The controls are set up to work better with a mouse so you can aim with your arms and not with your torso like in old games. I also use x52 and I think the best I got out of it was with the original il-2. It's really fun to attack bombers in that.

That's really too bad. I liked it a lot and thought it had a lot of promise back in the beta. Sad that they're squandering such a great legacy. :(
