"Forgoing better parts because it would make your mech look ugly" - the true ArmorDecor statement right there.

[@Echo_419]

It's called "Fashion Core".

ArmorDecor is better. More variety is also cool. If I remember correctly, we have Fashion Souls, Elden Bling, and now ArmorDecor.

"Ok look it's hard to care about the lore when you're having a mini seizure dodging a million missiles" As someone with epilepsy who literally had a mini seizure during my playthrough this line cut deep.

[@jaybuck12321]

Im not laughing at your condition but this comment made me laugh out loud that you actually were triggered by the intensity of the game

[@johntorreto4485]

It's a FromSoft game, We probably needed to watch the British dudes to explain it anyways.

[@johntorreto4485]

After beating the Alea Lacta Est ending, I immediately went to a story analysis to explain what I've been doing for the past 10 hours

[@InMaTeofDeath]

@@jaybuck12321 Well it's not the only game and intensity isn't exactly the cause though it can be an additional factor. I got lucky in that I can look at strobe lights all day and be fine what triggers them for me is the combination of a bunch of stress factors that are going on for a prolonged period of time(biggest one is lack of sleep). I'm sure with AC it's easy to imagine how that could happen but it can also happen with RTS games since your brain has the consent stress of dealing with your base, economy, and enemies all at the same time. Then again I also have 3k+ hours in Titanfall 2 which many would consider more stressful but it's almost never happened in that game lol.

[@RedFloyd469]

@@InMaTeofDeath Man that sucks. Hope you remember to stay healthy first and foremost. The(mostly) singleplayer game can wait, your body can't. Don't stress yourself out unneccesarily, man. (In general I have an easy time not getting too stressed out in these type of games. I'd say fromsoft is pretty good at keeping things at low intensity, regardless of the skill-level required. But I'm sure it's different for many people.)

[@ktvx.94]

The worst part is, the story is actually impactful. What little you understand on the first playthrough still makes you feel bad through the choices you have to make.

[@StrikeNoir105E]

IMHO Armored Core VI is the story that's the easiest to invest in out of all the AC games, and it's oddly insidious about it: it proceeds in the normal detached "you're a merc for the highest bidder", but then throws in characters like Ayre and Rusty and Carla and Michigan, and even makes Walter likeable. So suddenly when you have to make a choice between endings what happens to the characters hit hard.

[@zeehero7280]

WHY DO I HAVE TO KILL MY BUDDY! WAAH! First the mission makes you feel like Char at Loum. then it makes you feel like an asshole.

[@pawelkaras7231]

Good design though. You feel the general disassociation you have from the situation, being a hired mercenary. Alternatively, you can also get as engrossed as you want, by immersing yourself in the log hunt and piecing everything together yourself, while going through multiple twists and turns in what you thought the story was. Brilliant stuff, really.

[@chaoticdragonianziros7654]

I am so damn happy that Armored Core is back and generating a new group of fans. The nostalgia hits hard for us that played the games of the past, while the newcomers just get FromSoftware motivated to keep the IP alive.

[@mikeumm]

I'm happy AC is back and doing well even though I'm not a fan of the series or anime style mecha. And that's despite Robotech being my introduction to mechs. But I never really liked the Veritech fighters as much as the ones that you'd rarely see. I always liked the more plodding background support mechs that you'd only catch glimpses of. The ones ended up becoming some of the OG mechs in Battletech like the Warhammer, Archer, or Longbow (coming soon to MW5). So with that said. More mechs for everyone! I hope the popularity flows both ways and we continue to get more mech content.

[@DanielGarcia-rx3kt]

The fact FromSoftware didn't even *need* to make the game but chose to do it anyways is why they're a legendary studio-in-the-making, imo. The rep they built with the entire Soulsborne series (I really wish Bloodborne could be released to all consoles as it is an AMAZING game) meant people like me who never played an Armored Core game but loved the Soulsborne series would choose to give AC a try just because of those games. And once the game clicked for me? Ho. Lee. Schitt. It's a blast and I hope they do indeed keep the IP alive. FromSoftware just doesn't miss. Gonna make a gamer's altar for them someday 😂

[@EverTM]

Funny thing was I landed on both Armored Core and Dark Souls by accident, and didn't know until many years later they were from the same publisher. I still get chills thinking about the first time I saw the AC6 trailer... I never got into AC5 because I couldn't appreciate the tempo or the aesthetics, so I've been waiting 13 years for a new one. And my god, did it deliver.

[@matasa7463]

I'm the guy who had no consoles growing up because Asian parents believes in no fun all books, but I've kept an eye on various games I wanted to play and just couldn't, because I can't get it on PC. Monster Hunter and AC finally both made it to PC, a solid decade and a half later...

This is a game that exemplifies From Soft's core ideals especially well. It will kick you in the nuts over and over, but each time it does so it helps you back up, dusts you off and encourages you to try again with the promise of shiny new toys if you win.

What made me cry is I tried to make the same mech as I did in ACFA, with shotguns and spread weapons....Only to find out the zimmerman is the hated meta.

The epic voice (tm) is of course amazing, but the fact that the HT team knows all the joys and pains of a game so well is what puts the narration over the top. Goddamn I can't stop watching these lol

1:32 ACKCHUALLY, it's rubicon 4.

To me, it’s 10/10. I find the game more enjoyable, and easier, than most Soul’s like games.

I love how personal and invested the voiceover guy talks about this lol. He's got all the nitpicks i did

[@ArokhX]

Perfect. Well done, John. This one was really good.

[@mhiggs8001]

Ya know, the more I think about it the more I feel it’s kinda unfair to harp on souls like to be “too difficult”. I’m beginning to think that they just stuck to the old way video games challenged you. You know make them to where you do need to learn to play at least decently in order to progress. When I think on ff XVI and the “difficulty” of that game it was almost insulting because it felt like they thought we were to stupid or incompetent to complete it without help. OR they were so afraid they’d lose players in their effort to appeal to everyone that they just turned it into hand holding so people wouldn’t quit. I really feel like when games or movies or whatever go that route, trying to appeal to the most people possible, they just water down whatever was appealing the first place and we end up with a boring bunch of nonsense. I made sure to at least finish XVI, at 83 hours, before I said much about it, but no, I didn’t end up liking it at all. First time for everything I guess.

fromsoft game never really that overly difficult. they are just like the old school games. Nioh on the other hand make me want to throw my controller.

​@@rpamungkas13Team Ninja games in that particular genre (Ninja Garden (Xbox), Nioh, Wo Long) tend to do that to people

[@leccy9901]

Best game of the year for me personally. Awesome. Hopefully the love it's getting from the community ac7 will get a real budget and be even better. I love the way from soft games stop scuba playing them by making things challenging 😂 ac6 makes you feel super powerful, but on the edge of death at all times. Love it.

Not until we get a game-sized DLC or a side game first.

honestly it was by far the most straight forward and easy story line I've ever experienced in a fromsoft game....by a long shot lol.

Anything on the point on the nose. I was an AC first release pilot and anything you did here gives me nostalgia until I hopefully can play it for my self. Thanks to your masterfully precise lil artwork here i absolutely know what I'm looking forward to.
