18:13 - "The only downside is: the story is non-existent." Which Armored Core 6 did you play, ActMan? Because the one I played told the story about how corporations will always vie for control over everything with their corrupting and self-serving interests, and all that stands between that nefariousness is the power of the individuals which can change the course of history based on their actions and relationships. PS: This is a tiny summary of Fires of Rubicon's story.

I can understand why some people might think Armored Core 6 doesn't really have a story or that it's confusing, but it's one of those games where the story is presented to you as the character you are playing it would experience it. Your character is basically a pawn in a much larger game, and for the most part, the people you meet in the game only tell you what they want you to know. In order to understand what's happening and why it's happening, you need to look and listen to the smaller details, gather the puzzle pieces, and put them together in order to see the bigger picture.

This is true. For most of the game you’re just a hired gun. You don’t need to know anything beyond your next target, you don’t need to see anyone’s face or even know their real names. Yet as the story continues more and more things become apparent and the plot unravels.

AC6 has an in depth and fulfilling story if you’re willing to look deeper than what most AAA titles provide these days. The voice acting and faceless story telling is what’s really brought me in, and the game pushes you to contemplate the greed of man and how far we’re willing to go as humans to inflict our will. It’s a story of greed, change, and how fighting to maintain the status quo will result in failure. I know I’m a small drop in the ocean of comments, but the game is more than “robot shooting time”

I remember when the reveal of the remake came out, it had been out for like 30 minutes, and he sent me the link, and we talked about how we would have to play it together again.

Fair, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a story. AC6 is also all about the dehumanization of soldiers and corporations so large that individual humans literally mean nothing to them. Everyone is just a faceless cog in the machine, but that starts to change as you the player influence the world with your actions and decisions. Also pretty much everyone who’s played the story to completion has remarked how invested they were despite never seeing a single human face, and I think that’s exactly what FromSoft wanted. Their games rarely rely on the emotions on a person’s face, or their expressions, so much as their actions and words. Just look at Elden Ring and how little, if ever, you actually see any character’s face show emotion. It’s all about what’s going on inside, under the hood so-to-speak, which is really what AC and mecha in general is about. The robot is just a suit, it’s the human inside who matters, and these people in this world logically wouldn’t ever see each other most of the time. How often do fighter pilots see the enemies in their planes?
@HunterForHire42211 ай бұрын
@BornToPeeForcedToDrinkIt I agree 100%. Just speculating why someone would think it doesn't really have a story. AC6 has made me feel worse about killing people then almost any game I've played cause the acting is 10/10 and you really feel everyone's desperation. And honestly not seeing them adds this distance that makes me feel worse about it all.

Feel like most people who won't play it or even consider playing hi-fi rush, are like me. Since I have been playing guitar and a few other things my whole life (if asked I'm only confident in my ability to jam/improvise with guitar, so I'd prolly only claim it if asked), I feel like my love for rhythm and music starts and stops with that hobby, so I don't like the idea of that game. To me, I feel like the hobby I'm always striving to master is a much better representation and far less forgiving of a "game" than HiFi could ever be, so a selfish part of me wishes a shadow dropped game that appeals more to me (ie souls/doom/w.o.w.) would've made me far happier instead of the "meh" I feel towards what we got. :/

Sea of Stars is also worth mentioning. An indie RPG that pays homage to and also sometimes parodies the beloved SNES era of JRPGs. Despite its derivative nature, it manages to form an identity of its own, being a worthy successor to Mario & Luigi combat with an expansive and beautiful 2D environment and gorgeous music from Yasunori Mitsuda and Eric Brown.

Fr man!! My favorite game from 2023 has to be BOMB RUSH CYBERFUNK! Other mentions are SF6 and Jedi: Survivor. Omg where do I start with BRC? It’s everything I wanted and I played it 3 times already, a bit of a predictable story but it was a blast to play each time. I made sure to buy the physical and digital addition along with pre-ordering the vinyl. I never touched a SF game but the world tour mode and everything else about it is pretty damn good. The only disappointment for me is how the new characters are bought and not earned since they are doing BP’s and other such FOMO shit. Survivor was so damn fun to play, I will gladly play more from Respawn. STILL WAITING FOR TF3!!
@Hangry_Hungarian11 ай бұрын
@D44RK_Iced_Yogs I also really enjoyed Jedi: Survivor. Ignoring the optimization the game was very fun to play. I really enjoyed the gameplay, the maps were very cool, and loved the battle droids. Cyberpunk also has definitely made a comeback and it’s actually pretty good now!

I think saying that Armored Core 6 has no story is pretty heavily misrepresenting the game. Even at surface level you can immediately tell it has solid worldbuilding and a clear and meaningful story path, deep enough to allow for three diverigng endings. On top of it there are very memorable characters, many even having story arcs despite their brief and sparse appearences. In short a lot of story beats and key moments for such an action packed game. What you could rather say is that they are easily missable if you just focus on the most flashy aspects of the game.

Alan Wake 2's gameplay was really mediocre though, in my opinion. The narrative was interesting but as someone who plays games for gameplay and not for story, I can't personally consider something like Alan Wake 2 to be anything more than a "good" game. Its interesting presentation elevates what is a pretty average gameplay experience. I also think that as creative as the narrative was, the execution in the 2nd half was really flawed.

Glad you addressed the Payday 2 stuff in a video, rather than leave it in community notes. It's probably really awkward to have to do, but explaining the context of how an early review happened can really color how a watcher interprets it. "I got sent a review copy" is usually preferred (as it gives the dev the least amount of chance to influence the review) it can also lead to game issues that are system specific. A review produced at an event is one people should take as a "best impressions", assuming that there could be issues hidden from the reviewer.

You had to beat the game 3 times to get the full scope of the world, the characters and how your decisions directly impact the people and world around you. It's one of the better narratives I had the joys of experiencing this year. Really think you should revisit it at some point to get the endings if you haven't done so because it's well worth the few hours you have to invest to get the full lore of Rubicon and it's inhabitants.

So what I'm hearing is we bully Act Man into playing the brilliance which is Alan Wake 2.

Maybe he hasn’t played the previous games, so maybe he chose to hold off on it?

I just played the first one for free as a ps monthly game a few months ago. So cool and original

Gollum becomes more sad if you look at some of the games the developer released beforehand like the incredible Deponia series. Its pretty likely that it wasn't a decision by the developers to make licensed games but by the investors.

*My favourites are The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed, Fire Emblem Engage, Octopath Traveler II, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Pikmin 4*

A great list of games, especially for Xenoblade and Pikmin, but you should probably peek out of the Nintendo bubble sometime.
