        That frick killed me a good four or five times, and when I beat it I still didnxt really understand what I was doing.
        It seemed to have a blindspot beneath it, but it could just outfly me randomly and/or fly out of bounds, so I still would up having to kite it back into bounds so I could fly under it again.
        Then of course therre's the fricking posture mechanic

    My only real gripe with the game are toggle boosting and stagger. The former I just plain don't like since it takes the fun out of moving an AC around for me, though at least I can actually fly up unlike 5/VD. The latter feels too much like it came from a different game.
    I'd say its much better than the PS3 games, but not as good as the PS1/2 games.

    It's really good. If not for the stagger mechanic, which this series did not need and doesn't really add much to the game, it would be up there with LR and SL. The amount of care that went into the game is very obvious. It does drag on at points and I personally miss the short missions where you kill a few MTs and shut down a generator that take ~3 minutes.

    • 9 months ago

      Let me take that back. It is up there with LR and SL but it is not better for the reasons I outlined. AC6's second part or AC7 could be perfect if they learn from this one. Usually the second in a generation is better.

        I like the stunning aspect of it but the whole bonus damage part I'm not a fan of. Why not just make the slow, hard to hit weapons deal more damage and be done with it. I also miss the old bazookas, but I haven't really used them with quads yet to abuse them without the stopping thing.

          But they do? It's just important to take note of the weapon type, not really what it's supposed to represent. Explosives have decent damage and ridiculous stagger, paired with AoE, most energy weaponry (especially the slow ones) deal absolutely ridiculous damage, but have next to no real impact. Kinetics are in between and some weapon types are tailormade for bypassing specific defenses or exclusively used for impact.

          • 9 months ago
            Anonymous

            But the discrepancy between damage to a stunned or non stunned foe is quite large. I feel like this just exists to fix the melee weapons beating everything in two hits from 4th and 5th gen. I just liked the feeling of "oh I actually landed that grenade cannon" whereas here you stagger first and hit it no matter what. The risk from using those weapons is now completely offloaded to waiting for a yellow bar to fill up.

          >Why not just make the slow, hard to hit weapons deal more damage and be done with it
          The pile bunker is a fairly good example of why. If pile bunkers always did stagger tier damage they'd need to have no range again. Which has predominantly been the reason they completely suck outside that one crazy jap in the lobby. This basically gives them a window to be stupid good without becoming a problem. So high damage weapons don't need as many downsides, while still having the fun big damage and usually big stun.

          Overall though I am kinda eh on the mechanic. Now I'm running doubler zimmers I barely even pay attention to it, and I'm kinda hoping we see builds focused on general rotation along side stagger builds.

                All ARs and machine guns are either meant to be paired with melee or dual wielded for suppressive fire. ARs in particular are great for RJs doing keep away aerial combat at midrange.

      A lot of people (me included) are very hostile to From because ER was so blatantly and unashamedly derivative and just a retread of something they had retreaded over and over already. I have not played or looked into this game much but I genuinely do not believe From are capable of doing anything now except regurgitating Dark Souls for their fanbase that will always buy it and make excuses for anything. I didn't feel this way until ER where it was just so uninspired and lacking in new ideas I could only conclude that this was simply all they wanted to do. I genuinely do not see how anyone else could play the game in good faith and come to any other conclusion unless they never played a souls game before.

      If AC doesn't have souls design and mechanics slotted into it I will be absolutely stunned. I am not surprised to hear in this thread stagger made its way in. I bet there is also a 'minimalistic' low effort story where all the interesting stuff happened to npcs before the start of the game who either do not appear or appear for 2 minutes, say and do nothing and die, while the combat is just entirely based around memorizing patterns or running cheese builds and damage racing. I would like to be wrong but I doubt it.

      double shotgun double missile mosquito build can carry you through the entire game as long as you keep upgrading your parts (reducing AC weight -> using the bigger shotguns/missiles) but the last boss will require you to git gud, arguably more than balteus.

But I have to say the game is kind of forgiving atleast so far. They let you rebuild your mech whenever you die and even resupply you when have longer missions, even though I died a few times atleast per boss I don't get how people get into the 40+. Favorite weapon is galling gun

    This game getting 87 is proof there is a fromsoft bonus. There is no way a game with such a barebones and shitty story and shitty camera would get such a high score. Every other mecha game barely gets above 60.

    How many bosses have i fought in my life with this pattern. How many more times am i going to dance this dance. No longer. No more jousting Black folk. I will assassinate developers from now on, human beings can be cornered.

        Doesn't matter if i beat or not. I'm fed up with this boss behavior it's not fun and hasn't been in all this other god damn games i've played either.
        Come and fight me gayboss i'm playing here so you play too.
        It's an archaic and lazy a pattern. Reminds me of this one kid in my jiujitsu class who would lay flat on the ground and resist all attempts at being turned over and that was his fighting technique and nobody liked him.

      Indeed it is impossible to enjoy AC6 without a love for mecha because there's nothing else to the game. If the mere sight of a mecha doesn't excite you then it's a lost cause.
      Writing for anyone still not sure about playing this.
      It's 100% the player playing with his digital mecha toy in various and short battle scenarios and nothing other than this precise aspect matters in AC6, the game will not try to engage with you on any other ground. Beware if you think "sure mecha why not but surely the game's good no matter if it's about robots or not".

      What, did mechas frick your motv4h0pm?

      There's stuff to not like about mecha but the in game creator is unequivocally and objectively impressive and a powerful tool in a videogame.

        Never really dabbled in mecha stuff but I think this game has got me interested. People keep talking shit about it but I just like the fact that I get to build a robot and get into intense fights. Also the aesthetic is neat.

          It's possible to grow a liking to japanese mecha by playing this. If brain sees mecha and then thinks "wow cool" then AC will be enjoyed, even if the neuron activation happens some hours into the game.
          My point was it's not a game about interacting with a setting or about difficult challenges of pureskill or about telling a memorable story with characters. Since Armored Core is almost unknown people expect to be met with things like this so they play a bit, grasp at these aspects and their hands grab air. Then they come and write "boring" in the threads. AC is really fricking specific.

    It's okay, feels more like they are skipping 4 and 5 and going off of Last Raven.
    The first game is usually pretty easy and then the expansion games build off it and up the difficulty and add more parts and options. Which I imagine this time would be DLC.

      It's really obvious what it's pulling in missions like "Eliminate Suspicious Force". Yeah the guy betrays you, whatever. If you reload and prep for it and back up though? He stops fighting, and they surround and stunlock you instead of the normal spawns. Ok, so there's a measure in place. How about if you back up and fight back? He hovers in place forever in your blind spot waiting for the last shot and his first shot stuns you. Also it scripts the last shot from the grunt units to always break a part - if they miss every shot, the last one will always damage you.

      Garage UI was a massive improvement
      hourly countdown gimmick was cool that changes the tone
      Jack-O is a cool character that jerks the player off
      Enormous amount of parts built up over many years of PS2 development, balance was about as good as AC gets from all the effective playtesting
      And basically it's a final exam for everything you learned playing all the PS2 games, only the postgame 100% completion boss from AC2:AA even begins to compare to the regular bosses of the hard LR paths

    Great, but certainly not a replacement to your favorite AC game most likely. Think it’s the best case modern transition you could expect realistically from AC after 10 years, but it feels like this would have been the AC game they would have made after Verdict Day even if it was 4 years later. Just maybe a lot less polish.

    Give me the direct sequel or expansion though. I want my more weapon types, weapon arms and extensions to come back.

    I can state right now, knowing I'm 100% absolutely correct.

    The OST is dog shit, like the WORST soundtrack in the franchise by a wide margin. We're talking maybe three songs that are "good." And when I say good I mean they'd be the absolute bottom of the barrel of literally any other AC game. Not one song in the entirety of AC6 is on par with the following examples out of many I could pick.

    I just beat the boss that's a big tank you need to hit from behind and so far the game is piss easy. Seriously just melee to win so far.
    That said it's still fun but when does it get difficult?

    my only gripe with the game is some of the bosses being such moronic sponges that spew a billion projectiles per second which you can't reliably dodge. my usual go fast lightweight type of mech falls flat in big boss battles and I have to fall back to a big gun tank. I simply do not have enough damage output to get them before my defences get overwhelmed. may be a skill issue but sure doesn't feel like it so far. dodge is unreliable when you have a hundred missiles to dodge and they track you from offscreen. or melee attacks that start up while you're in the air and you don't have enough time to land or energy to dodge. it almost feels like they designed some bosses for iframe dodges but then removed those in the last second.
    other than that I really like the game.

      I beat him just a short while ago with this set up. Linear Rifle and Pulse Blade for first phase, switch to Pulse Gun when his shields are down and after he hits first phase just stick with that since getting close enough to use the Pulse Blade doesn't seem worth the risk considering how much damage his flamethrower does. Went as light as possible and got the best QB Thruster so I could reliably dodge missiles and get clear of his flamethrower.

              AC6 is miles ahead of older games in terms of controls, camera, decals and every small little detail.
              But the campaign and bosses are just as bad as any of the most recent ACs for exactly the same reasons - it's made for the ever-shrinking Japanese fanbase and has lost the essential "soul" of the original games - the fantasy of being an AC-piloting mercenary.

    Looks like shit, graphically, the art direction is piss poor late 00's military shooter shit
    Sounds like shit from too what people are saying, you just boost around in a circle spamming the machine gun or whatever
    and 10 hours long? What a fricking thrill.
    Mechagays are so starved for even the sloppiest of slop they will go to bat for this mediocreness, and the rest are just from wienersuckers who've probably never touched another game in the series (same influx of bandwagoning homosexuals Elden Ring brought in) Anwyay, won't even bother to pirate this one

        I don't agree, the game feels sloppy and totally lacks the crispness that those old games had. There is no threat in the beginning of any old AC game that is iudex-gundyr hard like this frickin helicopter. Also, From's lovely "AI" programming takes center stage: The fight ranges in difficulty from a 3 to a 6/10 depending on how much he uses his machine guns.

              I was saying this about the ps3 ones for a long time, that it's ironic they got rid of hover legs because pretty much all legs are hover legs when you have a free neutral boost function. I wish they would make boosting more costly and just bring back hover legs already but I guess I'm the only one that thinks this

          I don't like how I'm not completely in control of my AC with boost toggle and the weird EN regen, I wish boost and EN management were like 3rd gen.
          I love PS2 games, because once you're good you can do whatever the frick you want and land precisely where you want how you want. Your AC is super responsive and controlling it feels fricking incredible. 6 feels, idk, floaty. You are either not boosting or constantly boosting and gliding. You fall slowly. Quick boost is back and does the evading work for you (basically a roll button).
          Melee weapons have tracking and a long cooldown, paired with "posture break" it feels video gamey in a bad way, especially against bosses where it kind of becomes "simon says" shit

    Here's a question for you all.

    Now I haven't gotten too far into the game (just beat ch1). But I've been told it gets much harder going forward and that most encounters require "specific builds" for your ACs to solve. This raises a question for me.

    Do you prefer games in which they require "specific builds" to solve the difficulty or ones that let you play whatever you want to solve the difficulty?

    How in the name of everliving frick are people having trouble with this? I can understand having issues with Ibis if your loadout isn't prepped for it (just shove the giant laser shotguns onto your back for instant stagger and stab it to death), but sea spider shouldn't require more than a single attempt if you get surprised by the 6k damage spin and Balteus is a fricking weakling who can't deal with people who jump. Once again, you should lose once or twice and then know his attacks.

      Melee it a lot, the lasers that can shoot under it are weak. Use assault boost to fly under it as it charges its cannon. It can't 180 in time or shoot under. The only one you have to care about is the spin cannon, so just hug the underside and stab it.
