They did it the first time for a reason, they only pulled back because of people who are lazy and dont want to grow through difficulty which is what a lot of their games are largely about. Basically its appealing to the Lowest Common Denominator for profit, ya know the set of people who are basically the reason that most bad things are allowed to happen in general due to a lack of willpower. It would be different if it were bugs or an accident but the original versions were absolutely intentional in their design. If these games arent built for you or you dont have fun with them there is no shame in it just play something else you like more, dont complain in a non constructive way to warp a game not meant for you into a game that is.
But is fun for other people. And now that fun is gone.Exactly....and not everyone has 8 hrs a day to game like we used to when we were kids. I enjoy a challenge but spending hrs on a boss when i only really have an hour or two a day (if that) to game, isn't fun. Not to mention i normally have multiple games i'm playing at once too, so gaming is fun....productive gaming is moreso
I didnt go for S rank since there isnt really anything you get for them.
Nobody here is scouring the internet. We are responding with our own points of view.
Did i just read a "git gud" post?
All the games i mentioned also had nerfs, not just bug fixes, nerfs.
When From software sees their userbase hit a bottleneck early game with few % getting through, they always nerf the boss. I really don't care if you think you're "gud". I beat OG Radahn. You won't see me scour the Elden Ring discussions with new players to say to them "LOW DENOMINATOR PLAYER! GO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE!"
Fucking arrogance.
Same bro we went through the struggle!I beat Balteus pre-nerf, nobody can take that away from me
No saying Git Gud is dumb, its better just to say the game is not for you because it probably isnt, if your not playing a from game partly due to the challenge of them since thats a built in design philosophy of thier modern games then you are making a poor choice. Mainstream audiences (or the LCD) do not have this level of self awareness nor do they care about anything most likely on a deeper level and arent going to respect what the game is going for. If you dont want the challenge and know its not for you so you go play something else there is absolutely nothing wrong with that though.

You need to chill with the posturing. Dude was having a respectable argument with you.I can’t, can I?
From software patched the game. I preordered the game ages ago but it got sided for BG3 and Starfield
How will I ever face myself in the mirror knowing I couldn’t beat OG boss like the gud boys
I'll never be as gud as you guys
So saddddd
Might as well just refund the game now. Why even bother to play a game where i don't have the OG GUD trophy.
Who said Im talking about you or your abilities? Who cares how good you are, you might be 10 times better than me idc, thats not what im talking about. What im talking about is maintaining good game design and creative vision versus folding to the mostly thoughtless masses to make a quick buck.I can’t, can I?

You're assuming so much on my abilities in souls games its getting dumb as fuck. I beat all of them, most often than not pre-patch. AC6 is on the side for RPGs. You're getting pathetic.
Should i just refund the game now? I never complained about AC6 difficulty, i never got to play it yet. I just don't see the fuss. It's been like this for all souls games. STFU with your insinuations that i was stuck in the game and that its not for me.
I believe he was speaking generally and not specifically about you.
Same
Kinda glad you dont get anything for it because god would it be a grind to have to get them on some missions I imagine :#
Huh… I have no idea about your playing experience and nowhere did I insinuate that I did. I was talking in the collective ‘you’ as in: the people who whined loudly enough about difficultly for From to bend the knee. It was purely rhetorical.I can’t, can I?

Finally finished my first playthrough of the game (PC) and I wanted to write down some my thoughts...
I really enjoyed the fast-paced combat of this one, especially the blinding speed of the later bosses. While I know this has been somewhat of a controversial issue with FromSoftware's recent games, I think it fits perfectly for a mech-action game like Armored Core. To me, this satisfied my craving for something akin to Virtual ON so the combat + speed of engagements were everything I could hope for. If they ever release twin-stick peripherals for the PC and/or consoles, then I'll pre-order in a heartbeat. The feel of dashing from side-to-side while firing an endless barrage of lasers from dual handguns followed by split second assault-boosting to deal critical blow with my laser sword is intoxicating. From a pure combat perspective, Sekiro just barely manages to edge out Armored Core as my favorite game and that's only because it's my favorite playstyle for any Souls + Souls-adjacent game (dexterity + endurance + low weight). When considering build variety and the general feel of combat, Armored Core stands up there with the best of the best in From's arsenal.
The journey I took to create the perfect mech to match my playstyle was equally as addicting, since I could feel tangible improvements almost every time I left the garage. With each tweak, I felt like I was getting closer to crafting that apex predator of an AC. I'm proud (and stubborn) enough to say that I never radically shifted my AC's build for any of the bosses in the game; I only focused on min/maxing the qualities that I was already pursuing (max speed, quickboost speed + recharge, energy + melee damage, EN recharge, etc.). At the end, I felt l like I was nearing the max capabilities of my mech and it was damn satisfying to go toe-to-toe with the final boss and deliver the final blow using the same build I had been cultivating since the beginning of the game. I know there's still a ton of parts to find and combat logs to acquire, so I'm really hoping I find some better equipment for my NG+ playthrough to fully realize the potential of my build.
I enjoy Sekiro's and Demon's Soul's music the most, but it was really refreshing to hear such a wholly different soundtrack this time around. I'm usually fine with using my OLED's built-in speakers since I don't like wearing headphones for long periods of time, but I felt compelled to use headphones just to fully appreciate the major contributions the audio made to the atmosphere + boss encounters.
Regarding graphics, I think the art style is awesome as usual, but I personally think the actual rendering looks pretty dated. Art style trumps graphics obviously, but AC6 looks worse off than Sekiro and Elden Ring. Sekiro has the excuse of being a highly focused title and I consider it the most visually polished of FromSoftware's catalogue. Looking at Elden Ring, there is the stupidly large scope to account for (even considering the re-used assets), but it still manages to be real treat for the eyes overall with a gorgeous open-world. Armored Core isn't as small in scope as Sekiro and much much smaller than Elden Ring while looking like a step-down compared to both. I guess you could say that the focus on the performance + high framerates is needed for gameplay fluidity so the visuals had to take a hit. I know that I'm not going to be looking at the tiny buildings, trees, and terrain deformation in snowy/sandy levels when I'm zipping around in my mech at 200 kmph, but some of the cutscenes really bring some of the uglier details to the forefront and can't be ignored. Interestingly enough, this game comes with the most PC configuration options (ultra widescreen, 120fps, ray tracing in the garage) so it's a step forward in that department. If they could also include DLSS + raytracing during missions in a later update, that would be the cherry on top and make for a truly high-quality PC release.
Story is fairly straightforward for a FromSoftware title, although I wish the main characters were more than just voices over an intercom system. I still felt a real connection with Walter, Carla, Rusty, Arye, but I think having some character art to overlay with the audio would have been a nice touch. I still have to finish the game a couple more times before I get the full story, but I liked the general atmosphere and tone of what I've experienced thus far. I actually found myself agonizing over critical branching decisions in the game because of how well the story manages to make choices seem so morally ambiguous. I'm definitely planning to start my NG+ playthrough next weekend just so I could make up to Ayre and Rusty after doing them dirty the first time around (went with Overseer ending).
TLDR; yet another top-notch gaming experience delivered by FromSoftware and easily worth the $60 I paid - 9/10
At first I had this same issue, but truth be told none of the missions are all that long anyway so whilst it may seem annoying to reply, you do end up getting better at it
I thought so too but it's an amazing challenge. It feels intimidating as ch1 missions are the hardest due to very stingy requirements, start with Ch2 and 3 and move backward
You got lucky freelancerFinally wrapped up NG++. Man, what a game.
Hopefully FromSoftware release some DLC or a follow-up installment like previous generations of Armored Core.

Everything is available for NG+. You can replay every mission you have done. What NG+ does is present you with new missions, chips and parts to acquire.
Dig the weathering and color combo here.Done!
Some snapshots:
I turned into a TONK for the last few bosses.

Oh man you in for a ride, also to me the multiple playthrough in this is essential. Some people going think is similar to Souls game but it’s actual is much closer to Routes in Drakemgard/Nier game, one playthrough doesn't mean you finished the game.
