        I was pretty doom n gloom about 6 before its release because of stagger and the clear lack of a turn rate stat but it was easily my favorite game this year. Did NG++ and got the stargazer achievement or whatever, and I still went back and replayed it a bit as some of the npc ACs for shits and giggles Chartreuse, my beloved. You're just being petty and nitpicky.

        Stfu please. AC3 and AC4 are more different from each other than AC5 and AC6.
        Please define what "Armored Core" is to you because the numbered entries are really not fricking similar at all for the most part. AC6 is as much of an AC game as the other games.

      You're correct in a specific context, but you and I both know 100% that was not the context they were thinking about when they passed on it. In a general eye there's a lot to praise and more innovation than some of the other titles they prompted up there. But again, it really just comes down to mecha stigma and those people on the panel don't need to pretend to like it because it's not a Souls title.

      Then there's morons like this that after two generations of massive changes still what to shit fit something as juvenile as turn speed is changed when it was more of a balance tool than anything. Want a mech simulator, there's quite a few to pick from that are far better at it than AC. You don't play AC solely because it has a few simulator elements. You play it for stat/part autism.

        Anyone saying "not armored core" isn't an AC fan. We've already done this dance three times.

        It's also weird because there's a ton of different mech games for your specific fan of autism. I like all of them so to see people pretending Battletech is some super realistic game and that Gundam is super robot, is so fricking weird.

        I loved 6, but man I wish the netcode was better. This recent zook patch just feels bad. Nothing like seeing a missile fly past you to then get put into ACS stun and die. At least Zim zam meta felt like "oh yeah, the shotgun guy got point blank and killed me. I get it". This just feels like shit. Also lance tri lasers are fricking cancer

      It's pretty hard to find the balance between making them cumbersome enough to feel like mecha, but still fun enough to play. AC boost and hovering is pretty well down, but comes at the cost of auto lock (because you can't turn the camera while boosting and hovering) which trivialize the game a bit. Also, the almost necessary part autism will lose the casual crowd.

    I assume we'll get an AC 6:Whatever DLC or sequel/expansion title eventually. Every single numbered AC game got one before, I doubt that'll change now, especially with how well it did for such a niche franchise.

    >has like a 90% rating on steam

    Just seems inevitable to me, it's by far the most successful AC title. It didn't do Elden Ring numbers but FROM and Bamco aren't really the type of companies to drop an IP just because it didn't sell 40 million copies.

    I still think AC6 is an armored core game, it just has souls-like bosses. In past games, bosses outside of AC on AC fights were fewer in number and were either a super experimental AC (Nineball Seraph, Aretha) or a giant mech (Massive Weapons, Arms Fort) that just sat there and fired huge weapons at you. I like having more more bosses and yeah the souls influence is heavy there but outside of those, it still played like an AC game. I'm not sure why people are upset at getting more and better bosses.

    Compared to past games, AC6 felt like 3rd gen with 4th/5th gen quickboosts/overboost so it was like a blend of the past generations rather than doing a completely different approach like 4th or 5th gen felt compared to past gens. This imo was the best way to do AC6 all these years after the last AC game and in interviews before the release, devs said the same thing - they wanted to return to AC's roots, start with what made AC interesting to its fans in the first place and picked out what worked really well (like quickboosts completely changing things) while trying to not make the same mistakes again (again, quickboosts but it made everyone fight so far apart and spam QBs making combat incomprehensible so QB's have cooldowns, speeds overall toned down, weapon ranges shortened so we can see each other better).

    Is it a flawless game? Nah I think the stagger system is problematic and the number of parts is pretty poor, the OS tuning system is not as interesting as parts tuning as it's just unlocking basic mechanics one by one until you get them all, none of the feel of customizing an AC to the smallest detail. I think there should've been more missions inbetween the chapter bosses, more AC appearances without going into NG+. But complaints like turning seem trivial to me, we still have classic AC gameplay like boost hopping and strafing, just more fluid and faster in the right places, you're not always super fast but you're faster when you need to be.
