i've never played an AC game before but i wouldn't say it felt near impossible. i didn't pay close attention to the tutorial prompts so made it harder than it should be. the key to winning is left analog boosting up to the helicopter and slashing away at it. you dont want to try stay in the air for too long so you can let regen boost. use the structures for cover.yeah, lets make the first boss near impossible to kill if u never played a AC game, even Margit was a fair fight compared to this bs.
@Auto_aim1
Yeah, lets get into AC and watch boss guide at the first boss, great idea

it's fast paced and requires quick dodging and slashing like bloodborne. honestly bloodborne is probably slower than this. i'm of course still at the beginning of the game but it seems this game won't let you rest for a second.

Disclaimer that I'm not miles in but have killed a few bosses. It's definitely a different type of hard than Sekiro. You can completely fuck up here and still be ok. It's s obviously not an easy game and already I'm finding the need to be constantly vigilant and always moving around but it's still much more forgiving of mistakes than some games people traditionally think of as hard.
If people were put off with needing perfect timing on Sekiro you won't need that here but on the other hand it's much faster paced and you need really good spatial awareness. You can't stop concentrating or you'll get obliterated.

It's hilarious that they give several training simulations after the first boss.
They showed several things that made me go
(you can combo the laser sword, for example. Or charge it for extra damage. I had no idea)

Anyone tried on rog ally? Tempted to pick this up for a blast until starfield.

Curious if anyone has tested the chips enough today to spread some light on them.
I really want to know if the manual aim is worth using. Is it a damage boost I assume ? How much of a boost ? Do you need to then aim at specific parts for optimal damage or is it just hey if you hit in manual you do 5% more overall ?

First boss is easy actually. I had more trouble with that tank mini boss on the chopper mission.
Anyone know the exact requirements for S rank? I can't seem to get S on mission 1 and that chopper mission. I only get A rank.

Anyone know how to download/upload paint schemes and decals? I'm rocking a Banshee Norn color scheme but I can't help but think I did a shitty job. Would love to see everbody else' AC look.

Replayed the first mission. Really enjoying the loop of this now, it’s like returnal on steroids, I like it a lot. Beat the boss first time but only from checkpoint as I had one repair pack left.
D Rank, S ranks are going to be a nightmare to get.

Not entirely sure on decals but for whole AC look to upload you go to AC Design - AC data - hit the plus to add new save - hit that slot again and the last option will be upload and it will give your code. here's mine at 8 missions in

Yikes.
In typical FROM fashion some people are malding.
Lots of the folk complaining sound like they are playing way too defensively. You gotta pay attention for sure but you gotta get balls deep at the same time.

Seems a lot of people are really having trouble with first boss. In my experience, the easiest thing to do is just take consistent potshots on it so the stagger meter doesn't decay. Definitely make sure to hit your missiles and if the boss goes over your head, do a melee attack as both do huge stagger increase. It's just keeping safe until you fill up the stagger meter. Hide behind cover if your boost is empty.
Thr only wildcard here is the boss getting staggered outside the mission area as the biggest damage you can deal at that point is the melee attack.
If you can't hide behind cover, hide under the boss. Just be sure to keep moving as standing still is a sure way to get yourself staggered.

use the assault boost, launch missiles and shoot as you're boosting, and then once you're close enough, use melee. Rinse and repeat until it's dead. If it moves outside the arena, pull back and hide behind buildings until it re-enters the arena, then engage again.

What time is it?
The game is just fun. Controls are tight. Nice variety in objectives in the various missions. I just finished the first mission with ally partners and my instincts went from being careful and methodical to trying to rack up more kills than these new found allies. I can't wait to dive more into the mech crafting.
Piloting ACs feels so fun, even makes traversal quite enjoyable from managing boosters,
Managed to defeat the Attack Helicopter boss after a handful of tries.
I've yet to dive into assembly proper obviously, but I've never been so engaged simply going through menu screens. A good chunk of my playtime was just tinkering in the garage.
Holding off on PvP until I find my groove and my preferred parts. I would rather not have my ass handed to me just yet
Enjoying the soundtrack so far, and can't wait to jump back in.

I love how the missions are always one of three:
1. We're the Anonymous Group, these fuckers from Balam keep messing with us so time to fuck them up
2. We're the Balam people, those assholes from Anonymous Group keep trolling us, time to fuck them up
3. Yeah there's some indigenous people trying to fight for their planet, lmao. Fuck them up.

Game solidifies From as the best developer working right now. Just for their range. RPGs, Stealth Action games, Mech games. Is there anything they can't do?
Loving the combat that forces you to get creative. Watched some Vaati gameplay and saw how high the ceiling is. Gonna enjoy trying to reach it. WEEKEND MODE: ENGAGE

Really?
I had a lot of trouble with that first boss. About as everyone else.
Then it was a breeze but I know there are real bosses coming soon

Only boss that gave me trouble so far was the one at the end of chapter 1.
I think i'll grind for every part before the last mission of each chapter, since i have a feeling there must be a combination of parts that work better for these bosses.

I am really, really shit at video games. I am old, my hands are fucked, my reflexes are fucked, and most of the time, I just don't care.
I still managed to beat the first boss on my third try. What's with all the whining.
