My fear is that people think this needs to sell 10M copies or something because FROM is now a major developer, and since it won't it will be considered "a flop". We need to have reasonable expectations for AC6, this will never be a Souls / Elden Ring level seller. I'll be happy with a good game that sells enough for them to keep doing it every 3-4 years or so.

[@wilberforce6991]

Honestly the best thing about this is that it's a new game that doesn't look like it wants your GPU to become a star

[@fanpandatastic]

FromSoft is truly paving the way for how games will be and how games should have always been. Full transparency to the consumer. Gameplay. No false promises. Let the product speak for itself. With the success of Elden Ring we learned that having a game release that isn’t broken at launch is very important to us. And that doesn’t even take into account all the secret surprises Elden Ring has, deep world design, lore, challenging and unique gameplay mechanics, and an organic community that grows together with the game. I’ve been playing games for more than 20 years now, I’m not just some star stuck fanboy. FromSoft is truly saving and pioneering a new era for video games.

[@majed4004]

@000ArDiLlA000 100% although i am always way more forgiving if the game at its core is executed well and despite the issues of Elden ring they were not drastic and mitigated quickly nowadays games are not only broken but also are bad in there design and mechanics so if your only downside is some performance issues and the game at its core is amazing am willing to overlook that. cyberpunk is great example of this too me the game at its core was not fun despite the story and graphics if your core gameplay is bad all else fails despite bugs or not

[@Detective_L]

At that point they should just make entirely different game. Front Mission just stay and evolve the tactical mecha battle because it's the game main identity. Final Fantasy is a special case as Square Enix used it as nostalgia bait to raise sales number. And as we can see, the experimental nature of FF make the quality of each games varies from masterpiece to utter garbage. Now I'm worried if this game became critically acclaimed as SoulBorne game, because I can already see Square Enix jump in with the mecha hype train and create another 'soulless' continuation of Front Mission IP.

For newcomers: Legs are one of the most important parts of your mech, because they determine how much weight your vehicle can carry. Your power engine / energy source is on other one as it modifies the amount of energy available, as well as how slow or fast your energy bar will recharge.

[@larrymunn5279]

I recall my overall strategy for a new draft was select leg type based off the idea of what you want. Next select core, arms, head based on the weight capacity of legs. Then the thrusters, and power source to supply demand to the build. But this is the critical junction. If your energy demand is too high, you can see it clearly now. Do a sweep and trim what you need to make it work. Remember to leave room if your using energy based weapons. In the old playstation games running temp was a factor too and you needed a cooling unit. Made napalm and flamethrowers extra spicy.

As someone who just recently got into the franchise it’s amazing seeing all the hype for ac6. From what I can tell armored core has always been a fairly successful but relatively niche series yet now due to the spotlight on Fromsoft post-elden ring ac6 has become one of the most hyped up games of the year. Really hoping this game gets the ac3 treatment and has a ton of sequels/spin-offs in the near future!!

[@0uttaS1TE]

I remember an interview early on from the director, saying that it wasn't a case of "if" but "when"

[@shatteredsentient5321]

I never thought I would see an armored core video reach these kinds of views that isn't an ost from like 11 years ago😂

[@MrsBlaileen1]

Next, they need to revive “King’s Field”

[@ndh06]

Being a longtime fan, I'm so happy this is returning. I'm also worried that some people will be going into this hoping for mecha souls and trashing it because it doesn't meet their expectations.

[@Tran1193]

If they didn't understand a month ago when gameplay was first shown then they'll never get it

[@ndh06]

@Tran1193 True, it doesn't stop them from trashing it because it's not what they wanted. The Fromsoft fan base is large and vocal. Mostly friendly, but.

[@sketchstevens5859]

I'm glad it's not mecha souls. They really shouldn't be reliant on that souls formula and lose AC's identity

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

I like that the different AC content creators offer a variety of insight according to their experience with the franchise: - Fightin Cowboy, Alanah Pearce and Mrhappy1227 (among others) are the experienced veterans providing the most technical details and making the fair comparissons between AC6 and other title from the series and the studio. - Vaati Vidya and Writing on Games, while not old fans, have played all the games recently so their analysis is focused on the narrative themes of AC6 and providing several tips for those who are used to FromSoftware titles and / or other interactive experiences that involve mechs. - Iron Pinneaple others who have prefered going into AC6 blindly without any previous experience center their content on the controls, what does it feel to pilot a core for the first time and a guide for newcomers so that they do not get overwhelmed by the customization options. All of them have conicided on one thing: AC6 is probably one of the most ambicious AAA mech game of the last 10 years.

[@Drunkruss14n]

never played an armored core game but absolutely blown away by all the trailers i’ve seen and this one makes me that much more excited to try this out can’t wait!!

[@fastboy177]

I played two of them, as a casual who thinks mechs are awesome. This one looks far more accessible to new players so I'm very excited. Looks like you can get as involved in the details as much as you want, or just play casually

[@freshprinz9829]

Been playing them since the ps1 and ps2 era I promise you won’t be disappointed

[@arkgaharandan5881]

by the looks of it this is porpably gonna be the best choice as the games are not related to each other and story is made up stuff on the go that doesnt matter. 1 has the best missions and music but its ancient and take place mostly underwound, 2 is the only that takes place in another planet that is not earth but i did not like the music it was painfullly annoying glitchfest and i did not like the missions or the story or how the weapons and the mechs do, this game seems to do the same thing but much better. 3 is set on earth and has similar gameplay and mech designs but its on ps2 so it does not have open maps, 2 and 3 are very similar and the rest on the ps2 are harder versions of the previous games like the last raven and mission packs that suck. 4 and for answer which is like a standalone expansion are like this but faster you can fly around at really high speeds and dodge attacks the mp matches are insane, but he old fans hated that its so fast so they slowed it down, then you got 5 that has a post apocalyptic setting so mechs are large slow tanks with crap wielded on them and its focused on mp with little sp content. This is the compromise between all games to satisfy everyone i guess and it looks better and controls better than the previous game with good combat mechanics, i wish it was faster and had techno music like the first music, also color your mechs damn it.

I just used Doom Eternal because it's a slightly more recent game than Sekiro.

It does really show the sheer talent at From Software and the good direction of someone like Masaru Yamamura and Hidetaka Miyazaki.

[@theBaka9]

This game is something else. They've managed to reimagine the concept of an AC game, yet they kept its core gameplay loop intact. The UI and resource management are modernized, this is how first-third gen. AC game should look like in modern time. And yet, It fully uses the 3D space for gameplay, just like fourth gen. does, and it implements dodge mechanics from this gen as well, which is a welcome addition. Some enemies are complete jank, but that's a good thing for me, because janky NPC's are the essence of Armored Core. The only downside as far as I can see is the fact that we have a callsign of some furry website, but that's ok - it's a small price to pay for a new Armored Core game.

[@mdiaz033]
