[TexMex]

i have no idea what i bought since i never played one of these but every fro soft game is a day one for me...and i know ill enjoy it and if i dont, who gives a shit man.

FUCK IT ALL AND NO REGRETS I HIT THE LIGHTS ON THESE DARK SETS

 

[GrayChild]

The huge amount of complaints about the mission based structure of the game and the.... story (?!?!) is baffling.

 

[Luigi Mario]

So after we remove fromsoftware worshipping it's just your typical bargain bin 6/10 armored core game. As expected.

Friendly reminder that this is by the same reviewer that gave Redfall the following score:

So, not the best example to use for your argument.

Gorgeous (when the textures load)

Is fucking hilarious

Great scores! Years of game design mastery by FromSoftware makes it the highest rated AC. What is up with that Xbox aggregate though??

 

[Kings Field]

Day 1 purchase.

 

[Shtef]

Why is there big difference in score between PC and xbox version?

How else will they get Greenberg Credit Score?

 

[damidu]

there are like 6 reviews under xbox lol, one of them being xbox (redfall - incredibly fun) era

 

[Punished Miku]

Weird divergence between systems. I think it's safe to say it's averaging somewhere in the mid 80s then? Guess I was pretty close with predicting 82-85.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

This is the best Armored Core game released

Both of these statements can be true.

 

[DeaconOfTheDank]

From has cultivated a massive Souls fanbase who are going to buy in and be largely disappointed when they learn what From was about before 2011.

You could say that the same situation applied to Sekiro (Tenchu "reboot") and, while divisive for the Souls community, managed to garner significant respect based on its own merits.

 

[zeldaring]

88 on metracritic and sekiro was 90 and my favorite goat so yea this should be amazing.

 

[Danjin44]

An odd return to what has been a mostly mediocre series.

This is exactly why I dont trust any reviews when it comes to Armored Core or any other Mecha games.

 

[Solarstrike]

Let's gooooo!

 

[proandrad]

From Software doesn’t miss. Any info on how stable the framerate is on PS5/XSX?

 

[Danjin44]

Let's gooooo!

Mech fist bump...

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Mission-based structure and no window dressing bullshit is one of the top selling points you could have for me in 2023.

You must be one of those ”easy mode” dudes….

Just be quiet.

 

[Punished Miku]

Honestly that is appealing to me as well. I don't need to explore and shit in a mech. The fuel costs would be absurd. You want to go on pre-planned missions.

 

[Bry0]

Game journo moment

Honestly just sounds like he sucks at building his mechs. Probably doesn’t understand how important using the the right legs is. In other words, this is some PROPER AC. LETS GO

 

[Bartski]

 

[eNT1TY]

I can't responsibly just drop another $60 on a game after BG3 and FF16, will trade TotK in for this and just gamepass Starfield even though i wanted to purchase a physical copy of that one.

 

[MagnesD3]

I hope the PC version is the best version to get this time.

 

[TexMex]

The through line between Sekiro and any of their Souls games is much more clear than Armored Core give me a break.

You guys are acting like I said its impossible to enjoy both. I simply said that it is the biggest departure from their Souls formula yet, something modern fans haven't experienced, and won't be what many are expecting, which isn't unfair at all.

If people expecting Armored Core Freaking 6 to play like Souls game and be disappointed it doesn't, they have no one but themselves to blame.

FROM made it pretty damn clear that this is Armoured Core game and so its gonna play like one.

I mean, even FROM themselves have said they're building on the series using what they've learned from working on Souls.

Their output has dramatically shifted since the last AC game came out, to the point they're almost not even the same developer. A lot of people are going to be playing AC series for the first time with this entry for that exact reason.

Mose devs do this, Hashino put his experience making Persona 3 and 4 to make Catherine and that game shares lot elements from Persona but its not Persona game and its same with upcoming Metaphor.

FROM is put their experience making their pervious games to make Armoured Core VI but that doesn't mean it gonna play like Souls game.

I don't think it'll "play like a Souls game," but I think it will have more streamlined action elements and modern controls. I don't think it'll feel like the old AC games much at all. I think it could practically be a new series on this entry based on what I've seen. Kind of a light reboot. But we'll see, I haven't played it.

Persona is actually a great comparison. There's a large difference from pre-P3 to post-P3.

 

[Caio]

Down to 88/100

Sorry bros, cancelling my preorder. What a fall from grace for FROM Software.

I'm sorry, it's my fault, since my forecast was 88/90 on Meta, now all reviewers are basing their score on my prediction. My apologies !

 

[bender]

I expect this to be Dark Souls with robots.

 

[YukiOnna]

Any comment on the PC port performance? I don't care about journalist nonsense/score I just want to know if it'll be like Elden Ring or Sekiro in how it runs.

 

[Fake]

My GOTY

 

[Meifu]

I'm so torn on platform choice. Each of my best pals are.plahing this on PC and the other PS5. I'm not worried about performance since we have a 3080.....which platform do I play on?

 

[Saber]

I'm very happy for the reivews.
But I do wonder why the Xbox scores are lower.

 

[GetInTheRobot]

As a Miyazaki fan imma wait to play this one because there’s a ton to play but also it doesn’t speak to me. Never cared for armored core until post souls from but seems it’s not for me. I’ll give it a try after starfield.

 

[Interfectum]

That XboxEra review... what a doofus.

 

[PectacularOz]

Few reviews now saying only 10 hours of story mode, exclusing re-plays. Any other hours are multiplayer, or dicking around the garage well-beyond necessity.

Shame. Im a FromSoft fanboy, but dissapointed considering this is from the Sekiro team?

Incredible game, my body is ready - 2/10

Good.
Sekiro was perfect length.
Previous souls were good length.
Elden Ring is too big

Less playtime is a plus.

Xbox version is trash apparently. Poor chaps can't catch a break

I mean ER is incredibly short for an JRPG if you just follow the main path and nothing else, so it means nothing. Why wouldn't you include the replay factor for multiple endings, Garage (one of the main features), MP, etc? It's a mission based Mecha game, not an action adventure or JRPG.
