Oh god, why would you admit that?
One of the vids i watched earlier made a sly reference to some attendees not being able to finish the demo.

That's going to be hard to get used to when coming from Dark Souls/Elden Ring.

I wonder if there's a chance of a demo. I remember those old demo CDs for the ps1 and ps2 that had AC on it if I'm not mistaken. I feel like it's needed to ease the woes of people that consider trying something outside of a souls-like

According to them most of the other journalists couldn't finish the demo but with the state of "game journalists" today I can't say I'm surprised.

Don’t think of this game as “souls” because it’s not, Mecha game.
Its not about whether its hard or not its about the fact that dodging the entire time without any other skill being required is straight boring assuming that is the case.

so they basically gave out the full game to a bunch of youtubers a month before release.
Did they? I mean Vaati said he could play the whole game but he was given a limited amount of time in the closed conference. Also, he showed gameplay till mission 11 in the video so did he play throughout or just parts of it is still unclear.

Damn, this is a really good news. I'm down for it.

Love mech games so I'm in. Don't think the environments look particularly great though.

Graphically it is insanely mid, subpar even in most cases. But it oozes style and the mecha and world designs compensate for the shit graphics a fair bit.

What you see and what you play is a totally different scenarios. I can see a tough game on a video and find it very easy and somewhat mundane but when I play and experience it myself it's a whole different game. You cannot perceive that with just watching a bunch of gameplay videos.
For Armored Core 6 there's a soft lock and a hard lock with a weapon lock and a camera lock, you have to be in places and range to keep engaging your enemies, doing that with all sorts of firing shenanigans while watching your ammo gauges and maneuvering at your best possible way. This is just I found out while watching few minutes of video. The whole game will be on another unimaginable level.

I find it funny that people that keep saying "Elden ring looks better" (basically DS 3.5 open world with reused everything ahoy) find this game to be ugly or "last gen".
This looks "mid" ? Fucking hell, Elden ring was the king of motherfucking "mid" when it came out and it still does, wanna cry about FROM not giving a shit even though they make the big bucks now ? Go cry about Elden Ring then.
Listen, I'm the 1st at throwing stones at FROM and their fanboy circle jerk where they (FROM) can't do now wrong according to them but, AC6 ain't it, in fact, compared to all their friggin games released so far this looks like their most technically proficient one - from the dust, debris flying around, lighting ,shadow casting by bigger objects, smoke, smoke trails etc etc coupled with this kind of verticality AND running at 60fps...I mean, what more can someone ask ?
Go and take a look at how the last AC games (AC4/FA/AC5) looked back then (empty spaces/levels/super static enemies/backgrounds/terrible framerate) compared to other games on the same platforms and then come back again and tell us that this looks like shit.
I mean, come the fuck on my dudes...

I find it amusing that they got a Vaati soundalike to narrate the trailer lol. Anyway, like I said in the other thread, GOTY frontrunner incoming

I have more respect for gamers who are honest and admit they suck than ones who suck but still think they're good.

You’ve got to be kidding me. Raise your standards. This looks like a launch PS4 game at best. Come on.Where on earth is anybody getting bad graphics from?!?

Did anyone bother watching all these previews all the way through? They clearly say its NOT souls-like with mechs. It has massive setpiece bosses but so do other games like GOW and it doesnt need to be "souls" game to have massive boss fights, people forget games like Final Fantasy and many others exist. Anyway, I am glad its AC through and through becuase that is what the franchise is supposed to be.

But they’re representing their publication, which presumably wants to be taken seriously.

While I would prefer it, I don't necessarily demand that game journalists be uber good at all games. If Armored Core is supposed to be a hard game, then it should be expected that normie game journalists would have a hard time with it. If they were fucking up Mario or something, that's another story.
The casual perspective in gaming is still important because that's one of the main drivers of the market. It should have representation in mainstream gaming publications. If I personally want a more hardcore opinion, I know where I can find it.

Too bad people can't see anything beyond graphics. Although, this looks way better than any fast paced games out there.
If people coming to this game expecting ND level of graphics then Devs can't do anything about their stupidity. In any case FomSoftware was never known for their graphics.

How long was this game in development? I can handle "lesser" graphics if that means the game doesn't require a bloated budget and 10 years to make. The modders will have a field day with the game too, so it's fine.

Yep, we want next gen only games which run at 720p. Standard raised…

No one is expecting ND level graphics. But everyone should be expecting better than PS4 quality. It simply does not look good.

The "bad graphics" crowd don't understand videogames. The game looks fine. The masses don't care one iota about graphics. All that matters is that this game looks clean and smooth.

I must have low standards because those graphics look incredible.

It really does. It is smooth, stylized and looks to be doing things with a sense of scale that we dont really see.

He gives a disclaimer that this isn't a soul like and should be compared to souls like games but then straight up compared to souls games for 20 minutes. How many times this guy contradicts himself..

I'm sure the VFX folks in the movie industry can appease your standards. Maybe you ought to consider getting into movies as a hobby.
Good/great art direction trumps high graphical fidelity and has far longer lasting impact than the latter.
