5 was the spray of a bunch of interesting ideas, precious few of which actually worked
Made for one good playthrough to possibly the greatest soundtrack of all time though, which is more than I can say for VI
AC6 is better than V but 6 is a bigger disappointment because after all those souls-like games, From had the money and support to make another god-tier AC title like we got during the PS2-era. But instead what we got was armored sekiro with all this shitty gameplay elements of V. From should have looked at what made Silent Line, Last Raven and For Answer so fricking amazing and replicated those elements.
Another failure was this was the first AC title. From should have gone balls to wall with parts, content, missions and story. We got nothing of that. Hell, i'd wager that Project Six is more enjoyable to play in its alpha state.
AC6 is equal to second (worse that another age though). Third gen is still god-tier and 4th gen is still superior to AC6.
6 plays much better than any Armored Core prior to it. The only only things older gens have over 6 are OST and parts variety.
Combat used to be even more about spamming and circlestrafing, most boss fights were DPS races first and skill checks third, controls felt much more sluggish, stories were basically pointless, characters were forgettable, sound design felt cheap and generic, weapon balance was much worse and the enemies were able to just ignore rules you had to follow because From couldn't be assed to program AI for the enemy ACs.
Nostalgiagay all you want, the older games were much worse games.
no, no its not. Anyone that thinks otherwise jumped on the AC train after elden ring and AC6's announcement.
For those of us that have been playing AC titles since release and knew about From soft dating back to their kings field days aren't happy with the game. Japanese fanbase has gone right back to 4A already.
It's up there with most older titles don't know where this "Um actually 6 is actually bad ok" sentiment is coming from since if people really want to make that reach there are so many other AC games that people suck off that have way more issues then what 6 has
>"Um actually 6 is actually bad ok"
Mostly from the transplanted stagger system from other recent fromgames, the comical weaponbalance and hamfisted waifu parasite y/n at the end (if you pick n you Black personbomb the solarsystem)(if you pick y you violently murder people who just saved you, and spit at your employer (who went down defending you to his last breath))
Damn real moral dilemma you jap fricking shits
its the best zombie killing simulator ever made but there's nothing much to it. While killing zombies is visceral, they didnt put much into the writing or story or quests or anything to do. However if you just wanna kill zombies with friends, it's great.
The only worth these award shows have is pissing off a portion of certain fanbases that put way too much stock into them. As such, it'd be best if somehow both AC6 and Hifi Rush loses to one those other slop games.
looking at the competition it's pretty much a guaranteed win unless there's a big HiFi showing which I doubt. Ghostrunner and Dead Island 2 are not going to rally any kind of huge audience
>the Mecha genre is dead
I'm pretty sure this is like the first time a mecha game got widespread recognition and enough praise to even be nominated for one of those "best of" lists
I do wonder how much of this recognition is down to it being a FromSoftware game and there being none of the usual Soulsbourne Ring games to throw in there this year. It's not like it got any other nominations outside of this category
It's going to win
Which is sad since I think HFR deserves that award more for being a more traditional Action game, but what else is dorito pope going to do to lure his new husbando Miyazaki to the main stage so that he can present the trailer for the Elden Ring DLC?
Armored Core 6 is a shooter and Remnant 2 is a Soulslike; why are they there?
AC6 is is the worst AC since PS2
Still the best game I played in 2023 so where do I vote?
You shouldn't reward a game you dislike. Give your vote to Hi-Fi Rush instead.
>AC6 is is the worst AC since PS2
How can you say this when 5 exists?

I meant to say first AC title for PC.

Nostalgiagay all you want, the older games were much worse games.
AC6 is both the best Armored Core game and indeed the best mech game.
no, no its not. Anyone that thinks otherwise jumped on the AC train after elden ring and AC6's announcement.
For those of us that have been playing AC titles since release and knew about From soft dating back to their kings field days aren't happy with the game. Japanese fanbase has gone right back to 4A already.

ACgay
contrarians who instantly die if they don't insist that new = bad
people who let fromsoft live rent free in their head
take your pick
I thought ACgay liked 6 even though he's an autist?
He doesn’t like anything.

Damn real moral dilemma you jap fricking shits
is that seriously all the games that came out this year?
no just the ones whose publishers ponied up the cash for a geoff awards nomination
God I hope so
Didn't play the other games in this list but I know for certain that none of them can be worse than Armored Bore.
>Ghostrunner 2
Did anyone even play this?
Yes, I did. It's amazing.
Yes, its based.
Based on what?
taht no desab
ghostrunner 1
Facts and logic
I liked AC6 and hifi rush. Which one should I pick?
HFR is the only polished game in this category. In fact, the pickings for most categories are garbage.
Dead Island 2 is a FPS
What the frick?
Wasn't the first game an FPS or is this the alzheimers kicking in?
It was FP but the guns weren't common early game and felt like shit to shoot, it definitely focused on melee combat more
Mech's been dead for about a decade at least, including anime.
I was just reminded Dead Island 2 came out this year, wtf happened? That game got Men in Black flashed.
The only notable thing is that it wasn't a massive bugfest compared with most AAA releases these days.
Not good enough to get daily threads praising it
Not bad enough to get daily threads mocking it

EGS happened, discussion will get a small boost when it comes to steam but the game will never be popular
I played it on Xbox and it was a really fun time, but since it didn't come out on Steam then nobody here talked about it.
EGS exclusive
Wo Long should have been nominated.
>HI-FI RUSH
that game looked interesting and then I forgot about it.
Is it any good?
if you like platinum action games like MGR, DMC, Bayonetta, you'll love it.
>dmc
You mean fighting against hp sponge passive enemies for the sake of running up the score with combos?
Eh I'll pass.
The only worth these award shows have is pissing off a portion of certain fanbases that put way too much stock into them. As such, it'd be best if somehow both AC6 and Hifi Rush loses to one those other slop games.
I said months ago AC6 would get best action game and BG3 would get GOTY. Glad to see I’m right yet again.
They put Lies of P in RPG category which is odd to me. I think it would have destroyed AC6.
How much did Lies of P sell? It’s also on Game Pass so did they ever give an estimate to the amount of people that played it?
It sold 1 million copies after a month, it was top on gamepass as well.
remnant or hi-fi will win. 0 chance AC6 will win the moronic and arbitrary ESG-capital catalyst that is a TGA award.
>Mecha genre
it is just ad of children toy. Move on.
>gunpla sales at its highest since
morons like you dont understand how big plastic crack is
AC6 is guaranteed to win out of these...unless hi-fi rush?

Damn action games suck
Hi-Fi Rush is a better game so that's what I'm voting for.
AC is a disappointment everyone does not want to talk about
As much as I loved AC6, I'll be voting for HFR. Its my personal GotY.
the fact the Remnant 2 is here while Lies of P is in RPG is wild
Fromsoft can't lose, please understand
Not even a single mention of System Shock Remake
I'd vote for dead island honestly. Good fun.
It's going to win
Which is sad since I think HFR deserves that award more for being a more traditional Action game, but what else is dorito pope going to do to lure his new husbando Miyazaki to the main stage so that he can present the trailer for the Elden Ring DLC?
>the goyslop awards
yes, you're right. everything is goyslop. all video games are. it's time to leave Ganker to get away from the goyslop.
Whoa wait Lies of peepee isn't there?
I mean AC6 is going to deservedly win, but what the frick.
they put lies of p in the rpg category, so it's gonna get another loss to BG3
This year's TGAs is actually the dumbest award nomination spread they've ever had.
>if ac6 doesn't win this rigged competition something something
