Gen 5 plays like shit even in context alone to Gen 5. You people really can’t help defend the last title of something when a new one drops regardless of how dogshit the previous was.
Gen 5's only flaw is in the RPS builds, but even that works in forcing you to make more than one AC. Ignore MP and VD's hard mode still goes HARD. The gritty industrial aesthetic is also something it does better than 6.

As someone who has been a fan since the PS1 demo disc, AC6 is the best entry in the series, by fricking far. The boss fights alone trash any super MT mission. The level layouts, secrets, mission structure, art design, voice acting, controls, mecha customization - it’s all the best the series has ever been. An AC game where you can actually craft and pull off combos is insane and make previous games feel under-designed. That isn’t to say I now hate the previous games, but I’m very happy with AC6.
>That isn’t to say I now hate the previous games
You just never much liked them in the first place. Anyone who says "it's all I ever wanted AC6 to be" is the same -- they never particularly wanted it to be an AC game, and it just so worked out that it effectively is not. Would have been acceptable if it had any other title like how they turned a new Tenchu into Sekiro early on.
>man can’t comprehend that the series that has drastically changed twice before has changed yet again
I would rather play AC6 50 times over before playing AC4 again. That game was a fricking rape more than AC6 ever can be.
>I would rather play AC6 50 times over before playing AC4 again.
Meaningless statement coming from someone who actually likes 6.
They're both shit, but AC4 was still AC. And what never drastically changed was that you always had turn speed as a stat and actually had to fricking aim, even in 4th gen. Now that's gone, instead you get a bunch of moronic mechanics designed for a generic action game with human(oid) characters, because Yamamura is a one-trick pony.
> actually had to fricking aim
In armored core? The auto lock action shooter? I could see maybe what you meant if you weren’t talking about in Armored Core 4 specifically??? Fricking lmao. Now I know your mask is slipping. Especially dropping Yamamura name specifically. You can stop pretending you want to do anything but b***h about AC6 and specifically Yamamura. No need to pretend you’re this massive fan betrayed because Fromsoftware made a game and they’re popular now which is a big no no. You people just really want to live with such hatred for things you’re really not actually invested in.

Ayre isn't a woman, it's just a thing using the voice of a woman which pretends to care about you so it can use you for its own ends. Never once does it do anything else but ask you to do things for it and express "compassion" for you. As soon as you turn against it, it's more than happy to try and kill you.
Coral is basically an organic version of gray goo and if it escapes Rubicon, it will infinitely propagate across the universe until it consumes everything. In the ending where it wins, it's in the process of doing just that. Symbiosis is impossible. Coral might not even be sapient, it just needs to be sentient enough to copy human behavior and ensure its continued existence.
It has to be burned.
Anon, you can't frick the microorganism, it isn't possible and it's not female. I could replace Ayre's voice with a man's and it'd still be accurate. "Ayre" is arguably not even a living thing.
This isn't Dark Souls, tertiary LARPer. Ayre is a benevolent being and your soul mate because that's mecha as a genre. This is basic giant robot plot 101.
Yup, that's definitely what ending 3 implied.

You're equating metamorphosis into a new species with Walter's genocide plan, which is moronic.
People who hate Ayre are unironic incels, she's saccharinely sweet and even when you threaten to wipe out her entire race she still believes in you with her dying breath. Best Fromsoft girl, I will do anything for my gasoline girlfriend and I will be justified in doing so
Had no concept of pacing or difficulty scaling. The first 1h30m were press-W-to-complete, and then a total wall. Lucky for me it was still within return window on steam.
Whatever you think a boss is. To me the first few times the big healthbar showed up I pressed left mouse button and the boss fell. I did absolutely nothing and just waltzed through. Suddenly some actual boss shows up and no matter what you do you're instantly squished.
That just smells of super bad game design. Sure, if all bosses were incredibly difficult, or the difficulty scaled up as you played I'd be fine with that. But it was just 0->100 instantly.
He's not the most beautiful but this lad carried me through the end of NG, NG+ and NG++ on release.
Having replayed recently I'd say the VE-60LCB (the huge back-mounted laser cannons) are superior to the stun needle, mostly due to the nature of laser weapons not needing to reload.
I don't have the game installed right now but my preferred lightweight build had 2 VE-66LRAs and 2 laser orbits. For bodyparts I think I used
VE-44B
IB-C03C: HAL 826
NACHTREIHER 46E
EL-PL-00 ALBA
BC-0200 GRIDWALKER
IB-C03F WLT 001
and
VE-20C
The engine is a little heavy and recharges slowly but has the best energy gun output. I'll tell you now, this build is dogshit against the chapter bosses. It's not even about survivability, you genuinely just don't have the damage output to kill most of them before running out of ammo. If it's an AC boss you'll be fine but Ibis and Spider are grueling. Ibis is probably impossible, I think it just doesn't have the ammo.
That said, on any other mission it's the most fun I've had in the game. Ridiculously fast, the rifles are high damage and borderline hitscan and the laser orbits will just keep chipping away at enemy load limit while swatting away trash. It also looks great, I should have screenshotted it when I was still playing.

took some getting used to but this thing's a nasty ass build when you get used to it >stagger with the double ducketts >rush in, shiv em with the 3-hit laser dagger combo >unload on whatever poor bastard pissed you off with the songbirds, by this time the dagger's ready to use again so you can go in for ANOTHER hit if the enemy's still staggered >rinse and repeat
The spring chicken legs are really fun too, I feel like most people use them for medium/long-range builds but they're pretty good for closing the gap and staying mobile on a short range build. If you play it right, this thing turns the sea spider, the Ibis boss, Arquebus Balteus, PCA heavy calvary and the depth 2 enforcer into a joke.
Nineballer and Patches need to return for the inevitable dlc. I'm sure even if SotE flops FS will still have revenue to shit out another AC game before dying.
4 and FA run perfectly on RPCS3. 5 and VD were fricked the last time I tried.
4 is an L game because it only has one good mission, whereas FA is mostly bangers.
4 is painfully bland and barebones, 4A was a massive improvement in a few aspects (not all of them) but is arguably overrated.
They're all emulatable, but for 5th gen you'll want Xenia. Look up some guides.

Do you seriously expect this kind of revisionism to work for a game that came out last year?
There is no revisionism, I was in almost every thread from its release in August up until they petered off in about February when everybody had finished the story. It was basically a general. The worst flak it got was how many parts were garbage on release month before the updates started correcting them.

Literally never once been said outside of the usual suspect games that the majority of the fanbase didn't like long before AC6, which is ACV and Verdict Day. Two games so notorious they're continuously pointed to as the games that killed the series for a decade. A two-pair that actually fricked the entire mechanics of the franchise up the ass with scan mode, limited-to-no-flight, no boost recovery outside of scan mode, and the damage triangle.

It's a combination of souls fans (likely hating AC6 for taking any attention away from their series) and a bit of Nintendo fans as well (they despise ACgay, so they trash the game in revenge. hence why you'll hear people call AC6 "cinematic")
Slightly smaller pool, but I know Daemon X Machina fans have a chip on their shoulder about AC6 because a lot of original devs for the AC games went and made that title.
Kinetic weapons sounding like shit, legs being borderline useless, and the near absolute lack of weight in the movement were my main issues with it. Also the looter bullshit.
Why the frick are there two teasers for the sequel but still no info or any footage of the actual gameplay, what are they even doing.
Nah, the bosses were all great aside the final boss imo. Just always ran out of ammo and it took me a bit to figure out you can throw canisters for the last bit of it's health.
It’s literally shitposters that misconstrue the complaints of people who played AC pvp and blow it up for hyperbole sake since they haven’t played any of the games seriously. Like someone could say “Stagger is overly focused on and limits the interactions of a 1v1 environment” and they would take that and screech how the entire game is souls slop, frick hard lock, frick no turn speed and frick whatever like it killed their baby when they especially didn’t play the pvp to these games. Applying complaints from a pvp perspective to its pve experience. Which I don’t need to say is moronic. There was actually a big video that got a bunch of, pretty much discord users and some actual content creators and outside of a very very select few, most who didn’t like AC6 didn’t even sound like the mentally ill here.
When it comes to AC6, people just have to explode minor problems or hell some shit that is literally preference, just to justify wanting to be irrationally angry at Fromsoftware because they are now very successful. They don’t want AC6 to be good. They wanted something to b***h about regardless of its actual quality.
stagger is relatively less important in pvp because they can activate forcefield or assault armor when they get staggered. also you usually kill people regardless of stagger
it's most important in the single player boss fights where you can only cut through their overinflated health by abusing the 4x damage from stagger. otherwise they constantly run away to your Ricochet range and you'll run out of ammo
have fun, it's a great game hated by the most annoying kind of homosexuals on Ganker--people who hate slightly minute changes but can't put pen to paper on why change is bad beyond it being change.
I wonder if they're going to build off the true end or toss it for the next game.
I also wonder if these games would benefit from much larger maps in the missions.
Less about size and just deeper mission design. Silent Line still stands with the best missions in the series because of just how much mileage you can get out the missions in those games. Lots of variety, optional goals and just good depth to that variety. AC6 reminds me more of Another Age, lots of ideas, but not much explored to those ideas.
Well, a sequel and/or expansion is confirmed, so I imagine we're gonna see a lot more zany parts and mission ideas. 6 played it very safe, and that's to be expected for what may as well be a soft reboot.
I’m talking about mission design. Levels and objectives. Not ever Armored Core game has you chasing a tiny robot through a parking plaza like Master of Arena. Last Raven is not what I’m talking about because Last Raven outside of a few missions you’ll do on a normal run are essentially a gauntlet of AC encounters. Which is fine, but mission design in terms of what the mission entails, the level design, variables and complexity, hidden parts/objectives, isn’t Last Raven’s strong attribute. Its big strengths comes from other aspects of the game, but mission/level design isn’t one of them.
Like I said, SL's missions are the exact same as the previous games. All you do is massacre defenceless jobbers. Looking for hidden parts is a tedious chore.
Last Raven stands out because the enemies can actually fight back.

Yes. I've finished 1, Arena, 2, AA, 3, SL, Nexus, LR, 4, FA, and 6. Nineball Seraph is the only enemy I remember from before LR.
I’m glad your entire definition of design boils down to challenge. For Answer is exactly the same as the old games because you’re just taking down defenseless jobbers as well. This is why From pushes away from more creative designs especially in bosses, because nobody wants that. They want to be kicked in endlessly because they want to master the I frame button. Because having a creative boss is infinitely worse because it’s an easier fight than the boss that demands only of you pressing the button at the right time as many times as it demands. So they complain and then you get the Elden Ring DLC.
Everybody hated 4 because the mission were designed like the old games even though the player was more powerful, and everybody loves FA because the missions were actually designed around the context of the game's mechanics.

If they do make a direct sequel, I'd figure they go with the Allmind ending but in reality not much would change since Coral are just people but abstract.

From are absolute frauds for that speech about game difficulty experience in that recent interview but absolutely forbabby'd the shit out of AC6's game design. Still pretty alright though, hoepfully they fix people's complaints with the new sequelexpansion
They’re not ready to hear that. They don’t want to know the AC series for the most part is pretty easy after you actually learn the controls.
This. I can consistently beat Last Raven if I have the right loadout, and ACFA on hard mode can be dealt with without issue, but AC6 still causes me trouble even when I build cheese builds. Escorting the Strider hurts.
As a newcomer to mech games, I bought AC6 last week and have been having a lot of fun with it. Only completed the Strider mission today. The only difficulty I faced so far was defeating the 2 tetrapods. And had to watch a YouTube video to see how to avoid the laser in Strider.

Incel. She doesn't even know what coral release is and doesn't push you to it when she does find out, she just tells you that she'll support you like always
Her goal is to prevent another fire. Everything she says and does is in service of that, which mostly involves manipulating you away from Walter and the corps towards the Coral-loving Rubiconian hippies.
She doesn't even know that Carla planned to burn the coral until she tells you otherwise she would've fricked off a long time ago and wouldn't have stuck with you during the xylem defense or try and sabotage the ship. Ayre is the most naive character in the game she doesn't know shit.
Walter

he kills millions to save billions
after coral release there are no humans left in the universe

Sounds based
>after coral release there are no humans left in the universe
You're equating metamorphosis into a new species with Walter's genocide plan, which is moronic.

People who hate Ayre are unironic incels, she's saccharinely sweet and even when you threaten to wipe out her entire race she still believes in you with her dying breath. Best Fromsoft girl, I will do anything for my gasoline girlfriend and I will be justified in doing so

It is ironic that a female voice without body is superior to most female characters in recent AAA.

2 pulled off the strange alien power mechanic off way better. Also boss rush slop
too cinematic and it would be better if you played as giant sexy robot girls.

Very fun game but i wish it was harder
ac6 makes me wish gen 5 released during the prime FROMgay years so the verdict war would've had more than 40 people playing outside of japan
Had no concept of pacing or difficulty scaling. The first 1h30m were press-W-to-complete, and then a total wall. Lucky for me it was still within return window on steam.
Lel, this fricking loser couldn't beat the first boss. Kek.
Whatever you think a boss is. To me the first few times the big healthbar showed up I pressed left mouse button and the boss fell. I did absolutely nothing and just waltzed through. Suddenly some actual boss shows up and no matter what you do you're instantly squished.
That just smells of super bad game design. Sure, if all bosses were incredibly difficult, or the difficulty scaled up as you played I'd be fine with that. But it was just 0->100 instantly.
post your designs
I need ideas
He's not the most beautiful but this lad carried me through the end of NG, NG+ and NG++ on release.
Having replayed recently I'd say the VE-60LCB (the huge back-mounted laser cannons) are superior to the stun needle, mostly due to the nature of laser weapons not needing to reload.
I don't have the game installed right now but my preferred lightweight build had 2 VE-66LRAs and 2 laser orbits. For bodyparts I think I used
VE-44B
IB-C03C: HAL 826
NACHTREIHER 46E
EL-PL-00 ALBA
BC-0200 GRIDWALKER
IB-C03F WLT 001
and
VE-20C
The engine is a little heavy and recharges slowly but has the best energy gun output. I'll tell you now, this build is dogshit against the chapter bosses. It's not even about survivability, you genuinely just don't have the damage output to kill most of them before running out of ammo. If it's an AC boss you'll be fine but Ibis and Spider are grueling. Ibis is probably impossible, I think it just doesn't have the ammo.
That said, on any other mission it's the most fun I've had in the game. Ridiculously fast, the rifles are high damage and borderline hitscan and the laser orbits will just keep chipping away at enemy load limit while swatting away trash. It also looks great, I should have screenshotted it when I was still playing.
I really like the colour scheme
it reminds me of something but I can't tell
80s miami vice was the goal. There's a little design you can't see on the knees that's a couple palm trees and a sunset.
then that's fricking cool

The spring chicken legs are really fun too, I feel like most people use them for medium/long-range builds but they're pretty good for closing the gap and staying mobile on a short range build. If you play it right, this thing turns the sea spider, the Ibis boss, Arquebus Balteus, PCA heavy calvary and the depth 2 enforcer into a joke.
I thought dual Zimmermans were frowned upon. Why would you display them proudly?

I think AC6 is the most unfun game I finished.
I hope SotE hasn’t taken any wrong lessons from this game.
For Answer was better
Nineballer and Patches need to return for the inevitable dlc. I'm sure even if SotE flops FS will still have revenue to shit out another AC game before dying.

Are 4, FA, V, and VD good for emulation? Why did people shit on 4 but praise FA?
4 and FA run perfectly on RPCS3. 5 and VD were fricked the last time I tried.
4 is an L game because it only has one good mission, whereas FA is mostly bangers.
4 is painfully bland and barebones, 4A was a massive improvement in a few aspects (not all of them) but is arguably overrated.
They're all emulatable, but for 5th gen you'll want Xenia. Look up some guides.
Apologize for what? It's a fantastic game that I put 200 hours into.

>All discussion around AC6 was positive right up until Elden Ring DLC's release window where it suddenly turned into the same repeated posts about how it's slop, how ACV (a game everybody fricking despised) was better, how it doesn't have good customization yet it has the highest number of parts ever seen in a numbered title that wasn't an expansion etc.
Positive? There have been no threads for a while until now. But yes soulsgays are indeed gays, anon.
>yet it has the highest number of parts ever seen in a numbered title that wasn't an expansion etc
Literally false.
Literally correct
Just soulstrannies seething again
>>All discussion around AC6 was positive right up until Elden Ring DLC
Do you seriously expect this kind of revisionism to work for a game that came out last year?
There is no revisionism, I was in almost every thread from its release in August up until they petered off in about February when everybody had finished the story. It was basically a general. The worst flak it got was how many parts were garbage on release month before the updates started correcting them.
You are so full of shit you're more shit than man at this point.
I'm not going to argue against someone with a vivid imagination not bound in reality.
Take your moronic gaslighting to twitter.
Using the word "gaslight" doesn't make your gaslighting attempt invisible, homosexual.
>There is no revisionism, I was in almost every thread from its release in August up
Then you would have know that I and other old AC fans were in those threads shitting on this trash game
You vanished after a week because everybody was sensible enough to ignore you.
Funny how I never see you gays in the /m/ AC general.
>funny how I never see you in my safe space
keeeeeeeeek
The AC general is more critical of this fanbase than you teenage morons could ever hope to be. Literal daily arguments about which game is better. The difference between them and you is they explain their points instead of posting buzzwords
>my game soul
>your game slop
> AC 6 fans critical
maybe in the typical mindless zoomer fashion of "old bad latest thing good"
>maybe in the typical mindless zoomer fashion of "old bad latest thing good"
Literally never once been said outside of the usual suspect games that the majority of the fanbase didn't like long before AC6, which is ACV and Verdict Day. Two games so notorious they're continuously pointed to as the games that killed the series for a decade. A two-pair that actually fricked the entire mechanics of the franchise up the ass with scan mode, limited-to-no-flight, no boost recovery outside of scan mode, and the damage triangle.
You gays are delusional.
As opposed to
>my game KINOOOOOOO
All the arguments against have been mentioned and ignored/dismissed/downplayed so many times there's not much left to actually argue about. Even then, people still do. Here as well.
>no one was saying anything bad about the game until now!
>no, not on Ganker, I actually meant the /m/ general
Comical? Fricking moronic if you ask me. Also, you're contradicting yourself constantly so drop the act already.
>>no one was saying anything bad about the game until now!
>>no, not on Ganker, I actually meant the /m/ general
Who are you quoting? I said you gays stopped posting after a week, and then in a completely separate statement, pointed out you supposedly hardcore AC fans don't frequent the one place where the games are continuously discussed. You're posers, fake fans, you don't give a shit about AC.
I literally stopped coming there because of AC6 gays, as I had no desire to constantly read their posts let alone interact with them, nor did I want to constantly complain how shit the game is like I have nothing better to do.
Ganker threads are transient and more divided, so doing it here once in a while is fine.
>Funny how I never see you gays in the /m/ AC general.
Because there's no point going into a general full of gays like you
So you want people to go out of their way to complain in what is effectively an AC6 general full of newbies? What would be the point exactly?
>NO U!!!!
Just have a nice day, you moronic subhuman, no one's falling for your bullshit. Your souls DLC is irrelevant.
>WE WERE IN THOSE THREADS FOR THE FULL FOUR MONTHS THEY WERE AROUND
>No you weren't
>W-WELL DID YOU EXPECT US TO STICK AROUND WITH A BUNCH OF newbieS?
Comical.
It's a combination of souls fans (likely hating AC6 for taking any attention away from their series) and a bit of Nintendo fans as well (they despise ACgay, so they trash the game in revenge. hence why you'll hear people call AC6 "cinematic")
Ganker just loves conflict.
Slightly smaller pool, but I know Daemon X Machina fans have a chip on their shoulder about AC6 because a lot of original devs for the AC games went and made that title.
Daemon X Machina is a really strange game. It was good, but it was also shit. I don't know how to explain it. I enjoyed the game a lot though.
Kinetic weapons sounding like shit, legs being borderline useless, and the near absolute lack of weight in the movement were my main issues with it. Also the looter bullshit.
Why the frick are there two teasers for the sequel but still no info or any footage of the actual gameplay, what are they even doing.
Rumor is it's a Switch 2 launch title and so Nintendo has them gagged on all media.
Hopefully the sequel patches up all the half cooked ideas and poor equipment balance.
Maybe I'm alone but I really liked the bosses in DxM. They had some cool ideas.
I believe in them. They took a lot of problems that people had with the Demo and addressed nearly all of them.
Nah, the bosses were all great aside the final boss imo. Just always ran out of ammo and it took me a bit to figure out you can throw canisters for the last bit of it's health.
Why would you post something so obviously false?
Anyone who looks at the archives of AC threads for the past 7 months would see that this isn't true.
For me it's casting the die, allowing me to serve both ALLMIND and Ayre, and dunking on that little b***h Iguazu
I like every single AC gen and I have no idea what the frick this fanbase's problem is
it's a Ganker thing anon, if something is too popular then it fricking sucks and it's the cancer that killed the franchise
It’s literally shitposters that misconstrue the complaints of people who played AC pvp and blow it up for hyperbole sake since they haven’t played any of the games seriously. Like someone could say “Stagger is overly focused on and limits the interactions of a 1v1 environment” and they would take that and screech how the entire game is souls slop, frick hard lock, frick no turn speed and frick whatever like it killed their baby when they especially didn’t play the pvp to these games. Applying complaints from a pvp perspective to its pve experience. Which I don’t need to say is moronic. There was actually a big video that got a bunch of, pretty much discord users and some actual content creators and outside of a very very select few, most who didn’t like AC6 didn’t even sound like the mentally ill here.
When it comes to AC6, people just have to explode minor problems or hell some shit that is literally preference, just to justify wanting to be irrationally angry at Fromsoftware because they are now very successful. They don’t want AC6 to be good. They wanted something to b***h about regardless of its actual quality.
stagger is relatively less important in pvp because they can activate forcefield or assault armor when they get staggered. also you usually kill people regardless of stagger
it's most important in the single player boss fights where you can only cut through their overinflated health by abusing the 4x damage from stagger. otherwise they constantly run away to your Ricochet range and you'll run out of ammo
I like the game but it's too hard so I stopped playing. Got to Operation Wallclimber and just gave up.
For what? I loved it.
im going to play this after elden ring
have fun, it's a great game hated by the most annoying kind of homosexuals on Ganker--people who hate slightly minute changes but can't put pen to paper on why change is bad beyond it being change.
I wonder if they're going to build off the true end or toss it for the next game.
I also wonder if these games would benefit from much larger maps in the missions.
>I also wonder if these games would benefit from much larger maps in the missions.
No. The larger size maps in this are quite large enough.
Less about size and just deeper mission design. Silent Line still stands with the best missions in the series because of just how much mileage you can get out the missions in those games. Lots of variety, optional goals and just good depth to that variety. AC6 reminds me more of Another Age, lots of ideas, but not much explored to those ideas.
>Silent Line
>best missions
Yes I love walking down hallways for 5 hours.
Well, a sequel and/or expansion is confirmed, so I imagine we're gonna see a lot more zany parts and mission ideas. 6 played it very safe, and that's to be expected for what may as well be a soft reboot.
Silent Line is the exact same game as all the previous PS2 games. You're probably getting it mixed up with Last Raven.
I’m talking about mission design. Levels and objectives. Not ever Armored Core game has you chasing a tiny robot through a parking plaza like Master of Arena. Last Raven is not what I’m talking about because Last Raven outside of a few missions you’ll do on a normal run are essentially a gauntlet of AC encounters. Which is fine, but mission design in terms of what the mission entails, the level design, variables and complexity, hidden parts/objectives, isn’t Last Raven’s strong attribute. Its big strengths comes from other aspects of the game, but mission/level design isn’t one of them.
Like I said, SL's missions are the exact same as the previous games. All you do is massacre defenceless jobbers. Looking for hidden parts is a tedious chore.
Last Raven stands out because the enemies can actually fight back.
>All you do is massacre defenceless jobbers.
have you played these games for more than 5 minutes
Yes. I've finished 1, Arena, 2, AA, 3, SL, Nexus, LR, 4, FA, and 6. Nineball Seraph is the only enemy I remember from before LR.
Everybody hated 4 because the mission were designed like the old games even though the player was more powerful, and everybody loves FA because the missions were actually designed around the context of the game's mechanics.
>Yes. I've finished 1, Arena, 2, AA, 3, SL, Nexus, LR, 4, FA, and 6. Nineball Seraph is the only enemy I remember from before LR.
the point is you usually have an objective besides killing things or reaching the exit. that's what a Mission is.
6 sucks at this. you get a couple of decent ones on ng++. otherwise it's a shooting gallery
Ah, yes. I love protecting submarines. They really don't make 'em like they used to.
>Ah, yes. I love protecting submarines
Unironically was a good mission must not have been braindead enough for you
I’m glad your entire definition of design boils down to challenge. For Answer is exactly the same as the old games because you’re just taking down defenseless jobbers as well. This is why From pushes away from more creative designs especially in bosses, because nobody wants that. They want to be kicked in endlessly because they want to master the I frame button. Because having a creative boss is infinitely worse because it’s an easier fight than the boss that demands only of you pressing the button at the right time as many times as it demands. So they complain and then you get the Elden Ring DLC.
>I wonder if they're going to build off the true end or toss it for the next game.
If they do make a direct sequel, I'd figure they go with the Allmind ending but in reality not much would change since Coral are just people but abstract.
wont buy it full price but it hasn't been on sale once lmao
It was literally on sale like two months ago.
Correction - I will not buy it for more than $30.
Never needed to be sorry over this game. It's a fantastic game and Arquebus Balteus is one of my favorite bosses I've ever fought.
Looking forward to the 30mms kits to create my own AC

For me, it's regular Steel Haze

no
It doesn't have Denuvo, smart guy.
Bot post.
stagger system they forced in to appeal to soulsgays ruined it
the stagger system that isn't in dark souls was added to appeal to dark souls gays?
did the shadow people tell you that?
Oh shit I'm sorry
Apologize for what? It was my GOTY last year.
From are absolute frauds for that speech about game difficulty experience in that recent interview but absolutely forbabby'd the shit out of AC6's game design. Still pretty alright though, hoepfully they fix people's complaints with the new sequelexpansion
6 is one of the hardest games in the series
They’re not ready to hear that. They don’t want to know the AC series for the most part is pretty easy after you actually learn the controls.
This. I can consistently beat Last Raven if I have the right loadout, and ACFA on hard mode can be dealt with without issue, but AC6 still causes me trouble even when I build cheese builds. Escorting the Strider hurts.
I'm calling BS, I've felt more pressed by random shit in AC2:AA
>6 is one of the hardest games in the series
Lmao you can kill the bosses in in like 10 seconds with the right loadout
Bull, NB 9Ball is harder than any boss in 6.
Why. I got every ending and thoroughly enjoyed the game. I just wasn't autistic enough to enjoy the PvP so I left it there. It's not complicated.
Same, I S'd every mission and left it at that.
As a newcomer to mech games, I bought AC6 last week and have been having a lot of fun with it. Only completed the Strider mission today. The only difficulty I faced so far was defeating the 2 tetrapods. And had to watch a YouTube video to see how to avoid the laser in Strider.
Extremely fun game though
okay schizo
