If any of you are looking for another series like this one, here's a couple that we've started since finishing up the Armored Core games: A First Timer's Journey Into Ace Combat: kzfaq.info/sun/PL48pV5KFb3gbg9FnKHa7gYIApV5FemXSg A First Timer's Journey Into Metal Gear: kzfaq.info/sun/PL48pV5KFb3gZhObUW0G_j7sBQYBPZpr6X

You absolute legend, you will be remembered in the AC community. 16 games, you beat 16 games in its honor. This is more than 90% of ravens.

One thing you didn't touch on, which is weird because you always brought it up before, is the issue of reusing maps. AC6 also reuses maps quite often, but unlike previous games in the series, this isn't a bad thing. Because of modern technology that is leaps and bounds past previous games, the maps in AC 6 are so huge and varied that you almost never notice. And if you do, you're actually glad you get to revisit a location to explore more of it. It's not just lessons in melee combat that Fromsoft took from the Souls series and put into AC6. They also learned a lot from designing open world games like Elden Ring and applied it effectively here.

AC6 is the game that made me love series again. I hated Balteus, I fought Balteus, I got gut and killed Balteus on basic LOADER4 without OST chips, I got most of achievements and I simply want more of this game. I love it. If anything, devs definitely know how to make player feel things. and this game is all about feeling and my god, what a feeling it is! Watched the entire seires and I am glad I watched it from episode one.

This game is so deep, thank you all you new players for loving this game. I admit, back in the day this game was harder to like than most releases at the time. But it was special to me, kind of like reviving the whole Saturday morning cartoon feel when you watch a brand new episode of Gundam and not know what to expect. New mobile suits, factions and giant battles, the appeal was always there for me. As time went on people started having different interests, and while this is to be expected, mecha seemed to be a distant memory. Glad it's back!!

Gen 3 vet, loved this review series. It was pretty refreshing seeing a dude experience these games for the first time, it's usually hardcore fans that do these kind of retrospectives. Glad you (mostly) enjoyed the series!

Something minor that was missed is that also during the 2nd and 3rd playthrough, you get all new missions at specific points. Like on the 3rd playthrough, Defending the Rubicon Giant walker thing and on the 2nd playthrough, fighting the OG Raven along with the 2 other ACs.

AC6's voice acting across the entire cast is the best I have seen in any game

One of the interesting things about lock-on (in both hard and soft lock mode) is that you can see if your ACs fcs is fully locked on by the red reticle being directly on the target. When ever you're fully locked on, your ac's shots will ALWAYS be perfectly accurate, and will intersect the target, unless the target changes directions after you fire, or your weapon's recoil throws off your shot. Your FCS takes a small amount of time to fully lock on when aquiring new target, or after your target performs a sudden movement (mainly quickboosting or jumping). This can be seen by red reticle being off the target. If you fire in this period your shot will not be on an intersect course, and will miss. The difference between soft and hard lock on is only the time/speed which the red reticle moves back ontop of the target to re-establish full lockon. Soft lock's reticle can much back onto target much faster (thus reaquiring full lockon). However the speed of soft lock's reticle is on time is based on how close your target is to the center of the screen. If you track keep your target perfectly centered, your time to reaquire full lockon will be half as long as while hard locked. However if your target is close to the edge of the screen, the lock on speed is exactly the same as hard lock. Also, the speed at which your reticle moves back onto target is based on your arm's firearm specialization stat multiplied by your FCS's range specialization at the range your currently in. Even if you're at a range where your fcs has poor performance, as long as you're fully locked on your shots will still be perfectly accurate. The only difference is that your fcs will take substantially longer to reaquire full lockon.

Multi-lock existed in 4/FA and I think 5/VD, just the games didn’t tell you it exists because From. Anyway, glad to see your journey wrapped up and also seeing so many others, including myself, doing the same journey out of interest and enjoyment of AC6. Unfortunate From can’t really profit from republishing the older games due to it’s wacky array of publishing issues. EDIT: did I really typo “older” as “loser”? F f s

While I agree that AC6's story isn't the strongest in the series, I think that it has one of the best "balances" of story-telling styles. I remember you mentioned in your video on AC5 that the lore and world-building felt almost non-existent, but the character-driven storytelling was very strong. I feel like AC6 managed to bring you into a slightly more immersive world while also maintaining a cast of unique, memorable characters that kept you invested in the story. If the expansion takes this strong base and fleshes out the more barebones aspects of the story and wordbuilding, then I think we could truly end up with not only the best Armored Core of all time, but even something that could subjectively be considered one of the greatest games in recent history.

mate... I feel like introducing repair kits to the arena would definitely make it more fun. You're right, I have to blitz the enemy harder than in any mission or I die pretty fast. it feels like the arena and mission experience are too different for the arena to "hone your skills".

This was a cool series. AC6 is my favorite game and it's nice to see someone go through the whole series since publishing prevents most of the older games from being reasonably playable, outside of emulation or forking over way too much cash. I'll keep an eye on your channel. It's a cool one!

The worst part about AC6 is that there isn't more of it, at least anytime soon.

I loved this series. Congratulations on its completion. Armored Core 6 will not win game of the year, but as an old fan its my game of the decade for the reason you state at 23:24. "completely distinct yet so familiar for long time fans." I knew the second the game let me at the controls that it was that big of a hit for me. I was overwhelmed with a child-like glee that only few games have come close to achieving over the past decade. I want more. Thats my biggest gripe with the game. There is not enough. I hope so much that FS can quickly continue the series. I say quickly in fear of it dieing out. My wishful thinking is that we get an announcement alongside the Elden Ring expansion. Play that hype. Feed into that audience. In the past AC expansions have released within 6 months of the base game.

also you missed the fact stagger mechanic is the 5th gen flavor but heres the catch its now applied to everyone and not just "ACs" 5th gen being 5th gen where everything and almost anything is labeled an AC but arent, but "sekiro-ized" in that its now deobfuscated kinda like primal armor in 4th gen which you kinda see but also dont see

I have my issues with AC6, but I do still like a lot about it. I especially appreciate how Rusty is basically what Joshua/White Glint would be with a full game's runtime to really develop.

AC6 is probably my favorite of the ones I have played. Had a lot of fun playing through for each of the endings and now been trying to beat the game as Mad Stomp (which is possible as someone did it with Liberator of Rubicon) but I am trying to do the Fires of Raven ending.

Thank you so much for all these videos, I've been following them from the beginning ❤ I think that it would be great if you do a final tier/favourite list after you 100% all of them!

Been waiting 16 weeks for this one!

The culmination of your journey has truly made you an armored core fan looking forward to the next release. Loved the long awaited review and really so hope fromsoft addresses the issues you pointed out on the next game. I do hope they return the debt system now that newcomers like me are familiar with the game. Arena definitely needs a difficulty bump, repair kits could be one solution but I also think the AI could potentially take advantage of their loadouts because some of the AI's like Rokumonsen and G4 Volta definitely do know their playstyle which made them more difficult to face. And as for the combat UI, I definitely want that colored filter and static-like effects for immersion with customizeable UI. FROMSOFT, GIMME THAT PEN MOUSE TOOL FOR DECAL EDITOR! That thing used to exist in older Gens through a pixel pen!

This is the first game ever, or in a long time where I felt like the praise from the other characters was warranted. RIP Rusty. AC6 was definitely a game made to be safe. Sure it's hard, and there's likely a lot of people that quit due to the difficulty, but the economy change was likely necessary to make it safe enough. the repair and ammo costs are really just there for the S rank, which is fine with the way they setup the progression. I would like the next game to be.... More. I'm not sure what that means. Maybe it just means that it was so good that I'm eager for another game.

Boy, am i glad to have seen you go on this journey, your ac review series were some of the best videos ive watched recently, always at my lunch break at work, just made my day that much enjoyable. Glad to see you becoming a fan of the series and enjoying most of the games, and also having context to grade ac6 accordingly. this year has been pretty nice for armored core fans, and i sure hope we get some DLC and a sequel for you to cover next!

It was awesome to watch you go through the entire series. You replayed my entire childhood and I enjoyed every moment of this series. Thanks for bringing me back to those nostalgic moments that made me fall in love with the Armored Core franchise back in 1997.

3:56 This type of multi missile lock was present in gen 4. I don't blame you for not knowing since it took me until after I had cleared all of 4A's endings to discover it by accident. While there is multi-lock in the older games too (while locking on with a compatible launcher/FCS, switch targets while keeping your previous target(s) in your lockbox), it's so hard to use as to only be useful in very specific circumstances.

NICE video. Congrats on making the video series up to AC6 lol I really liked it!

The only problem I have with the Stagger system is that while it does add more depth into AC on AC fights I don't think NPC fights transitioned completely well does stacker system does make most AC fights fairy trivial especially in the arena since they're locked into not using health kits unlike the actual story which eventually they do start using their own health kits But in general I don't know what they would need to do but I do think they need to do some kind of balance changing with the entire Stager system versus AC fights to make NPC ACS feel more challenging otherwise if you go in there with a hyper-aggressive bill that takes full advantage of the Stagger system then there's not really much of a challenge in AC fights But other than that I think the Stagger system works pretty well

Congratulations on completing this journey, and thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I really enjoyed your overview of the games and I believe that overall, you struck a good balance on the depth of the reviews. Not too shallow that we learn nothing about the games, yet not too deep where it requires a significant time investment to watch each video. Yet when necessary, you concisely discussed the substantial changes made in each entry in the franchise. As such, I could not have asked for a better way to review the Armored Core series, so thanks again for taking the time to do this work. Edit: And I forgot to mention that you've earned yourself a subscriber :)

Its been a good run. 6 got me to play the old games before it released jist like you and now im always thinking about the series even when not playing it. It's been a wonderful journey. 6 in particular is basically a perfect game in my eyes. It takes everything i thought might work in 5 (the only gen i haven't finished) and did it right. I'd love to see you do a final recap video ranking the games by how much you enjoy them. But I'm excited to see what you do next regardless.

I was planning to get armored core 6 since its reveal, but then had to save up money when it came out. During this wait, i came across this series. This video dropped right as i finished the game. Thanks for making this series its really well made, and my introduction to armored core couldn't have been better without it!

Finally AC3 has met it's match. Armored Core 6 is one of the best in the series. What a triumphantly return.

AC4FA was my favorite game in the series, and I was worried they might not capture how good things felt in that one. While it didn't match the movement or the combat ranges as closely as it could have, I felt like it completely delivered. And the plot/mission/ng+ structure felt like they took the best of what AC4FA had, while cutting the worst parts from it (specifcally, it had the vastly different endings, but without the tedious part of having to repeat any of those endings due to them having multiple mission choices within their paths).

I like to look at AC6 as an AC 2.0 due to some factors, mainly being how it takes the best qualities of the previous games, combines them, and improves them. The simplistic building of AC1 with only 11 parts, the different levels of builds ranging from slow and tanky like AC1 to LR and fast at twitchy like 4 and 4A, the grounded level of combat similar to 5 and VD with the airborn potential of 4 and 4A, the insane map variety from 2 to LR even if re-used... It just feels like it's what Fromsoft wanted AC to be from the beginning. It just took until now to finally achieve it.

AC6 has been my introduction to the series and let's just say there aren't many games that can captivate me for hundreds of hours, but this one has found it's place among them. I have built so many ACs, even making my own lore for them and the game has actually pushed me into gunpla.

Rusty: Hey buddy. Me: Heart melts Im a Dark Souls convert so AC6 was the first one i played in yhe series so i loved everything about it. I had no expectations story wise and was jusy looking for a fun challenge reminiscent of soulsborne titles, and this game was everything i wanted and then some. Gameplay was chaotic, yet methodical and always kept me on my toes. The story was very engaging. I was far more emotionally invested in the story than i ever thought i would be. The characters were fantastic. Best girl, Rusty, is endlessly likable as you said. And Handler Walter was truly a master class of character writing and perfectly acted by the VA. I'll definitely pay close attention to the series going forward

What a journey! Been awesome to sit here and binge your videos over the past few days. I'm glad these were very listen friendly, as I've had them playing on my drives. Can't wait for VI's expansion!

Just binged your whole AC series. Great videos ty for making them.

Looking forward to whatever comes next! Can’t believe you’ve made it through every entry in the series, congratulations man it’s a monumental effort

If they bring back the stagger system in the future, I'd hope it's only for big boss fights. Either that or make it work like gen 5 where it exists but isn't centralising. Because the side effect of it being applied to everything makes PvP incredibly dull where every single build has the exact same stagger > punish mentality. I also personally dislike the hard lock and instant turning because some late-game bosses are built around it, and again it heavily biases certain PvP builds. Like part of the reason the Zimmerman shotgun was so powerful was that if you were within its range, there was a 99% chance you're getting hit because of hard lock and instant turning.

as someone who doesnt have 15 games (or any) worth of AC experience i found the AC and LC fights to be interesting a challenging. while there is one or two build specifically good at dumpstering standard Armored Core units, they are much less good at full clearing level, so my first playthrough was largely with that build (which was probably least effective against those units specifically) only changing when those fights put up enough of a block to my progress. one level a standard LC (about 4000 AP) appeared pretty early, snuck up on me and took out all my repair kits less than halfway through the level as i just couldnt seem to effectively recover. it took until my 3rd playthrough to get my infinite melee spam build with additional ranged effectiveness which can (with minimal changes) S rank just about every mission.

I know i know most people have been saying that the plot is very basic but honestly, I think we needed a simple plot to fall back to, especially when all we had were having is a lot of go read this miscellaneous thing for a souls game JUST to understand the plot. Hell at least this game, unlike most of the other games, gave me people I can actually LIKE, people I can feel a connection to and people I can say straight up I don't like you. Two certain characters come to mind heavly especially and not to mention, this was the one time we had everyone in the mecha genre come together like your gundam fans, your super robot fans and your armored Core fans and it was magical. While yes the arena is on the weak side and yes the multiplayer is a total joke, at least the game when it did came out, it made people interested in a mecha game again since they were dying, it revived the mecha game genre and all of the builds we had were unique and fun. Hell I am hoping that thanks to AC6, we get more mecha games in the future and we are succeeding in finally getting word of Armored Core model kits made by Bandai which is a HUGE plus. Great job looking into all of these games!

There are a few missions exclusive to NG+ and NG++ that aren't specifically tie to the path of your other endings, they do provide a bit more story to some characters and insight on a few, and there are datalogs that you can find on some battlefields that foreshadow certain facts about Rusty and other pilots at times

Like probably many others, this series introduced me to you and I’ve voted and will be sticking around for whatever comes next! Well done buddy, you did it.

While I agree AC6 has the easiest to farm economy I think you missed the reason why. AC games have never allowed you to change builds mid mission before with the checkpoints since the missions were so short, you could always just sell off your parts and change to different ones and retry the mission. But the limiting factor in AC6 is that you own the parts already if you want to change your builds without redoing the whole thing up to the boss fight, it made me grind some COAM to have those options ready to go when I needed them.

Thanks for taking us through your entire journey. I really like AC6, and I love that it isn't ashamed to take elements from its predecessors. You can see bits and pieces of every previous Armored Core throughout, thanks to the entire team themselves being fans of the series. They didn't have to make Armored Core 6. It didn't make sense from the perspective of success or finances, nor from the fans they've accumulated over the last decade. They made it because *they* love Armored Core. I hope we get a standalone expansion like with previous entries, because those have almost always been better than the numbered entry. So I can't wait to see what they do with this already phenomenal game.

Man 16 videos, absolutely nuts, i wann start playing the whole series

Although I don't comment, I've watched all of your AC videos and I have to say, I am really impressed by the quality of your videos, the video I first saw was the last raven, I Thought the video was pretty good and when I hit subscribe I was shocked because you had few subscribers with that level of quality, keep up the good work, I surely will be watching. (by the way, don't mind my English, it's not my main language kkk)

AC6 is currently my go to game during my days off work. And while I have S ranking on most missions (after painfully replaying them over and over), there are still a handful of missions I can’t get an S on, and two missions I just refuse to replay due to how difficult they are. Despite this, I’m still addicted to getting an all S rank regardless. The only downside to this game is the extreme difficulty on the boss fights- they are hard as fuck (annoyingly). But after getting used to them, replaying over and over again, you get use to them, and thus start to improve over time. Overall, the game is hell, but in a good way.

After playing all the games, which games would you say someone new should play first? I have the original and IV but havent played them yet

Im glad im not the only one that randomly struggled against canon head, he should be number 1 rank imo 😅

Everything you said is true even tho I haven't finished the game yet which I don't mind because I really wanted to watch this and I already got spoiled from the other armored core reviews. I got into armored core series in 2022 because I had a mecha/robot hyper fixation in 2021 even tho I already love mecha way before 2021. But still armored core 6 and the series really satisfied me a lot because of how Fromsoftware makes it and I'm proud of them for bringing it back. Last thing is seeing a lot of old and new players playing this really makes this game very memorable.

I played AC6 on launch a loved this game, and then I binge watched all of your AC videos minus the Gen 4-5 games which I just got an emulator to run for. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of this fantastic series.

20:00 'to prevent its use as weapons' was definitely not the goal of walter walter is trying to destroy the entire solar system so the coral (which replicates very quickly in the vacuum of space) cant spread to the rest of the galaxy, either of which will be accomplished by setting it on fire (depending on saturation)

Hey man thank you so much for making this series. I played armored core for the first time in highschool, and it was insane to see it revived. Your videos are so enjoyable to watch! Keep it up!!!

I've been looking forward to this review since I saw your first video. I voted for the next series and Im looking forward to the next series you do!

I was eagerly waiting for this video. I think I joined in on it with AC2 Another Age?

good job man. it's been great following your process .. it brought back a lot of memories of grinding through the previous games a decade ago ..

Well it wasn’t just siding with air it was also siding with the rubiconians as the destruction of the coral would have wiped out the planet.

this playlist of 16 videos was just simply amazing and im so happy that someone like u did it and i really enjoyed every second of it , ty buddy . wish u all the bests

After seeing your journey into the series as another newbie who had just completed 6, it was cool seeing stuff I had seen in AC6 show up in older games and seeing you talk about it all coming back.

Another brilliant thing that older games lacked: Voice acting. Every single VA went HARD, and every character feels so real because of it

I should also mention this game had people who previously worked on mecha anime hence why you some parts look like they are straight out of Macross, Gundam etc. The laser drones remind me of Witch From Mercury, as the main character has mech that uses very similar looking laser drones.

Killing Rusty made me empathize more with Ayre. Best mission in the game tore my guts out at the end and nearly sapped my motivation to kill the final boss. I don't mind being a bastard or doing what has to get done. But killing good people along the way makes you wonder if it was all worth it in the end.

I haven't played it my self, but there's an arena mod made by community that adds difficulty and variety to it, definitely check that out.

My main issue is the engagement ranges, everything is too close.

Hands down my favourite game this year.

It’s been a good ride with you. I finished your entire AC retrospective with only AC3 and 6 being the only ones I’ve played. I didn’t even know there was more than 10 AC games when we started this journey but it’s been cool seeing the series evolve. I hope software makes an AC6 expansion that makes 6 from a great game into an amazing one. (I would like some more bombastic music)

Removing the Repair Kits from the Arena is a good decision, since if they add them, it will teach players bad habits when it comes to PvP. The Arena serves as a warm-up for different builds before going into the Nest.

5:07 keep in mind AC bosses also use the repair kits

Been here from the first episode you did, its been such a fun ride sweing your journey through the series. I picked up ac6 beacuase mecha is my passion, and I was not dissapointed. Great video, looking forward to whatever is next for the series!

*me shedding tears because we've reached the climax and ending point of our long journey together through 20+ years of AC games*

Do you think youll ever cover Daemon X Machina? As far as I remember it had some designers from older AC games working on it and i'd love to hear what you think about it after having now covered every AC game.

As a newcomer to the Armored Core series, I feel like I have more mileage from the Arena because I never upgrade the Damage Buff/Defense Buff in the OS Tuning area. It definitely makes the Arena fights way more challenging and fun to solve. Also because there's no Repair Kit in the Arena, I use it as a quick experiment as to "How much damage does my build sustain before defeating an enemy without healing?" Since I'm still not as good in dodging, the time I finish the Arena fight and the amount of damage I sustain are two metrics I use to tweak AC builds.

Honestly I actually really appreciate that arena fights are considerably easier than facing the same AC within the campaign. I like this both for a storytelling reason and a gameplay reason. On the storytelling side of things Allmind is replicating the pilots fighting styles using combat data it has, but the story goes to great lengths to tell us that Allmind is ultimately incapable of truly reaching the performance demonstrated by real human pilots, so it makes a lot of sense that these arena fights would pale in comparison to fighting the real pilot. On the gameplay side of things, having the arena fight be a sort of red herring for your expectations of the campaign is great. I remember fighting Chatty and Carla's AC's in the arena and thinking "okay that wasn't so bad" and going into the mission where you have to fight both of them being pretty confident and then getting my ass soundly handed to me. Nothing about the arena fights prepared me from fighting those two, because it's not really clear how much they complement each other until you actually fight them side by side. Same goes for fighting Freud, I found his arena fight to be challenging but not really difficult, and when I got to fighting him in the campaign, I was pleasantly surprised by how much more complex the fight could get with the same AC.

The multi missile lock wasnt new, Ac4 had it. Cant remember if 5 did or not to be honest. Loved the video btw. Edit. Also in reference to the repair kits healing for 4000, you can imcrease this amount with the "tuning" system. I say "tuning" because its a very light tuning system for an AC game, at least compared to some. Its by no means bad, just not cery deep. More a multiple choice system using points earned in the arena. Some of the upgrades are permanent add ons to damage resistances or damage buffs for example and others are optional add ons you put in a specific slot that isnt used for anything else. The system works well enough but i would of liked to see a much deeper system in a modern AC rather than a very simplifed one. That said the rest of the game is so good it dosnt really matter. Its morw just something to hope for in the next maybe.

There was a stagger system in V though, it just was very subtle.

Regarding glide boost, it becomes alot easier to control it properly, especially when we talking about stopping and then moving again. Instead of turning it back on with circle (on ps5 at least) you can just quick boost with the square button (on ps5) in any direction and this also automatically turns on the 'glide' boost. This I think makes movement alot smoother and less confusing when you stop to target or snipe and then need to start moving quickly again to get away from incoming heavy melee or short range (shotguns anyone?!?!) Bulldozers that are slow but tanky. Or god forbid, Rusty or other quick as fuuuuu- melee ninjas the size of 2 houses stacked on top of each other. On side note, I think the way those ninja Mechs move so so very quickly when. Theyr assault boosting or quick boosting...the G forces would absolutely destroy the human body. It's the reason astraunats and jet pilots are so rare and require so much training. They need to learn to handle those neck snapping g forces and sudden whiplash causing speed boosts that make them go 0 to literary mach 5 (I don't know my machs el oh el). And because of this I really appreciate the emphasis they put on the human modifications like our gen 4 mid level cyborg implants what-not. We really need those mods or we will die simply from moving our robots around. Thanks fromsoft. Your attention to detail is top notch as alwaaaaays. Thumbs up.👍👍

Im leaving a comment here ill come back after binge watching ALL YOUR ARMORED CORE videos ,i just wanna know how is the game and if i should buy it , big thank you to you chole for making all those very qualitative videos

Finally! And after the 30 Minutes Missions announcement for model kits!

ive been watching this series while 100%ing AC6 and honestly im very excited for whatever DLC we get if we do get it. this game was an absolute gem and i still havent put it down even after fully completing it

AC6 is definitely one of my favorites, but I agree about the economy of the game. I didn't even think about the HUD colors thing. The PvP is also quite good. For me the game could go as close to perfect as possible if th had matchmaking, passworded games, AC5's raid group missions, and between more parts and more expansions. I agree with the arena being disappointing, until NG+ and NG++ arena being better. They even made the early mission tester AC an arena match. Lastly I think more secrets would be cool. We see the NG++ Strider thing as likely the current biggest secret.

In the fires of raven ending you can't justify carla or Walter's actions because yeah while they apparently don't know coral based rubiconians are a thing, it is quite explicit that their plan is straight up a genocide on human rubiconians (which is why rusty, who's an RLF agent, comes to stop you) a lot of them directly and the rest because coral grown meal worms are the only source of subsistence for rubiconians which is the entire reason they're rebelling as the corps were basically starving them to death just to mine fuel (think dune and spice basically, it's essential to the ecosystem of dune but that doesn't concern anyone not of dune). Carla and walter are unequivocally evil here even if they have a decent enough reason behind their actions. Walter, especially, is plain the villain considering he basically treats all old gen augments like disposable hunting dogs eg sulla, 619, 620, etc. and considering he's actually a very competent pilot himself and could do like 95% of the shit he forces you to do (he and carla could, alone, take on allmind copies of all the arquebus force which ends up impressing even allmind; his suit at the final boss is straight up his actual suit etc), doesn't really need you apart from maybe fighting CEL-240. He's regretful for it, sure, but that doesn't stop him from doing it. He's a fairly complex character and quite intriguing as a whole but a good guy he and his organisation are not.

"Look at you 621... You found.. A friend" Anyone else damn near choke up their heart? 😢

Wait. I played through the entire game, every mission , every ending and I don't remember anyone mentioning that your characters brain got "fried out" during augmentation and that you're "mindlessly following orders"

I just S ranked every mission yesterday and I want more!

It's been a fun journey with you.

Stagger was in the earlier games, all they did was make it extremely obvious for this one. Although back then we called it "hit stun" and "knockback".

I remember hearing about the stagger system and seeing the boss fights and going "oh no, they turned Armored Core into a Souls game" I have never been so happy to be so wrong about something. The Souls like elements blended perfectly with this one, especially the boss fights. Each fight felt incredible, challenging, and interesting to go against It is unfortunate it took this long to get a new AC game, but I'm glad to see the 10 year hiatus and what was learned in that time has not gone to waste. Here's hoping we'll get another age of Armored Core

I loved AC6. My buddy randomly told me that a new game was coming out and as soon as he said what it was we went straight to gamestop. They had a bunch of preorders but luckily they had only 1 copy for xbox and ps4 so we lucked out. I have been hooked since, just like when AC2 and AC3 came out when i was in high school. Great games!

Good job, nice review and reviews for those old ACs, can't wait to see the expansion/dlc of AC6 My 8 yrs old son got crazy with this game, you have no idea what the joy brought to him with pilotting mech fighting like in anime.

I think my only complaint is that I wish there had been more giant-type bosses, like the AFs from For Answer or the Strider. Hoping the DLC/sequel adds more of those.

Nice vid man keep it up

I only have one complaint about ac6 It’s not FAST enough I need that shot of pure crack to reach that ever so elusive state of being that is speed

Ac 6 30 minute missions is a thing now. Are you gonna cover that when it comes out?

As a long time AC fan, this game is damn near perfect. I can't stop playing it and this game needs more attention.

This series has been a fun way to take a peak on the games that came before 6 can't wait to see what's next from you.

there are actually two moonlight style blades. You know redshift, right?

Congratulations on finishing the series. I've been watching since the start. 🎉

Reason why the customization feels so good is because each part has a place and a roll and you're not flooded with garbage that you'll never use I never played any of the previous games just has a disclaimer but I have played Space games and Space Games tend to do the whole flood you with a dozen different weapons thing or a dozen different engines or a dozen different whatever modular thing which are all completely useless say for one choice I respect the armored Core 6 Developers for making their game fitting window a glorified scavenger hunt

There's another thing thats an issue with AC fights in the arena, and thats the damage that they do to you is significantly lesser most of the time due to their OS-tuning being oddly limited compared to yours. You can copy their kits and usually they're not that built in terms of their OS buffs for their main weapons, that or they're purposefully dealing less damage out of concern they could be doing too much damage but overall, the ACs in the Arena don't feel that difficult could be made up for by letting them heal up but with you still having none, or buffing their effectiveness and damage.
