Omg this is facts. Nineball and Debt. Could you imagine what they would be saying lol

Aa the new comers will never know the pain of being on half health and expected to fight to "bosses" in a row with what ever ammo you have left and zero healing.

Attack on Arteria Carpalis 😂

facts for sure... I can remember struggling so hard back in the day..

Better let them know

It actually does.

@@johnmclane5720their literally is no Iframs

@@johnmclane5720 u must be a little dense

There are no i frames but with the correct high speed build its probably possible to dodge

PCA helicopter tutorial boss should have said that first.

I did encourage one framerate dip while fighting Sulla but that could’ve been more so my rig experiencing a hiccup than the game itself

Played on xbox Smooth.... expected the hard bosses, fuck the watch point final boss XD

To quote Snail "For what, doing the bare minimum?"

Well since theirs no content besides 3 story lines, no player base, and no reason FOR their to be a player base it could be just because there not enough in the game to break. The PVP is a hole in and of itself.

underrated comment of the quarter.@@VivianAckers

It’s more forgiving but at the same time I would say harder than 4, 4A, V and a few others. IMO the hardest AC games were on the PS2. I thought AC2, Last Raven and Silent Line were all pretty hard games. I want to say Nexus as well but I barely remember that one.

Nah previous ac games had healing and checkpoints but only in long missions because most missions were quick to finish Example is ac 3 and ac silent line

AC FA was definitely easier than AC VI. It took more time to get the hang of the controls, but practically every mission could be cheesed.

People should be thankful they didn't bring back a BS mechanic from the previous games: Overheating.

well said, for me seeing it as its streamlined masocore mecha; its like Elden Ring paving the way for new players and audience to try mecha

And that's just the first fight with him lol

He just single handedly filtered half the newcomer 😂 by him self The helicopter filtered the journalist and Balteus filtered the rest of the wannabe hardcore player😂

@@end1234567that’s what V.II Snail is for.

What’s balteus? I don’t remember that. Stop it. There is no balteus. On a serious note, I hate “stop the redguns” missions more than balteus tho. One was a skill issue, the other was a lesson in ammo economics.

​@@slowcyclist4324i finished that mission with 6 minigun ammo On one arm. Everything else depleted god.

They make games with a passion and finesse unlike any other developer with their resources (which they earned themselves). As a result, I have come to relax and enjoy the experiences, regardless of differences. Went into AC6 with previous little knowledge of the old AC titles. Massive souls fan. I specifically did NOT want "mecha-dark souls". This game is brilliant.

As a soul player i thought im gonna breeze the entire game and then i noticed that theres no i-frame. And then i have to dump the clunky mentallity of soul like and realized that this not directed by miyazaki. And then i started to had fun playing this game

it's called "Niche Market Targeting"

Fun fact reddit mods in r/fromsoftware hate ac6 their icon and wallpaper are still elden ring 😂😂 they even shadowbanned ac related post

@@aerosdacillo1227 Wait, really?! Stop hosting pretending to represent FS then. That is terrible!

Yeah, they should add slow clunky combat to match my slow clunky brain, and a great sword, aaaaand epic reddit karma.

Yamamura said he likes that too but he’s afraid that the debt system would scare off every newcomers so he hold back on that front. Maybe we’ll see its return in AC6.2

Why ruin the genre just to get more people into it. Retain what made Armored Core great and simply promote it more. Fk Dark Souls and all the toxicity it brought to AC. I'd send dark souls fans straight to the Gaza strip for their influence on AC's development, respectfully.

on the upside of the debt system the games have something to counter it energy weapons never cost you anything to fire but generator power and ammo (yes THEY ARE FREE technically speaking) but this is absent since AC4-AC6 where energy weapons now cost something to fire, and if ever you want to recoup costs there's always the arena which is not exactly "efficient" when it comes to income but that depends on how fast you deal with arena opponents which is why when you finally got the Karasawa in AC1 you instantly become rich since ammo costs shouldnt be a factor in your build this still largely remains true in MoA

@@xowrldofartbecause more people gets into it means more games for everyone, you DO realize the entire community doesn’t just consist of you, at least not anymore right?

oh naw, they better keep cranking them out!

@@TriloGStudio That being said, I would also welcome some remakes of the older games, like armored core 1, 2, 3, SL or LR

Armoured core 6 dlc better have more mission, more arena, and more fun parts

We need dlc first 🎉

I honestly like it more that way, cause that means the games are actually finished on release, and we dont get another cyberpunk experience. Never happened with FromSoft, but I want them to keep it that way💀

Old Raven here too 🔥 That heli knocked me down so hard on my first try, my response was "OKAYYY that's how it's going to huh?" Wasn't taking the game seriously. Well...immediately changed whatever mind set I had and got right in there. "You wanna go!?"

​@moonlight39echo same lol. I've been in the AC community since before dual analog sticks lol. I did get clapped by that damn chopper but then the gloves had to come off lol

Real talk, the game is easy. With the stagger system every boss in the game can be killed in under a minute without struggle. Multiplayer is unfortunately filled with elden trash and new players so I wish you luck, but I doubt you'll find enjoyment there

vet here aswell. i died to the helicopter first try cause i ran out of amo lol. fought all the mts first and that was a big regret.

Cheers gotta be in your 30s at least to remember that release in the mid 90s....the golden age in my opinion simple times 🍻

Based

I felt the hud was a more toned down form of Vs honestly, otherwise i agree good part selections Trying to get the Karasawa is pain

@@Year_of_the_Dell I recently got every part available and working on getting all S ranks.

@@damianstarks8974 nice one, I wish you luck in your S ranks. I did quite a few my self just trying out builds and such. Makes it a tad bit fun, i didn't expect to use the Jailbreak BASHO parts as much as i did

@@Year_of_the_Dell I got into the zone and took out the tetrapod in the jail brake mission it was fast and hectic and in a very small place.

I did that and hectic is a understatement I think I eventually broke it’s ai because it just stepped into a wall and right as I got it to being almost dead it seemed to have given up.

I don't agree, i think everything is top notch except the story and lore around the space magic abstract thing called Coral and what it can do.

So far they’re the only developers making good games with replayability

Monolith Soft is just as much a studio with a clear vision. And I am certain there are others too.

​@@Abb0abletbf we are painfully aware that the AC lore is just a contrivance to the Mech Game, its like Doom in that aspect, but hey the story is pretty fucking good.

I personally think monster hunter devs(capcom) knows how too since mh is like AC VI, its the same at the core but upgraded to fit the modern standard and become an entry point for new players and they have clear vision for how their games would be like

Havnt played since number two and I felt right at home in 6😊

Honestly, I feel much the same way, this feels like an updated gen 3 with deeper boss fights and better controls and I absolutely love it.

I kinda want a DLC that's just a huge mission pack with no real story. Like the campaign from a Battletech game. Specifically the ones that are modded to be completely sandbox style. That, or a DLC that's just AC1 in this game engine. Don't even update the maps. Re-use the same PS1 voice acting.

It feel close to AC3 for me that's why i can adapted more ease to the control than when i play AC4

I'm with you

AI helper? like a pet AC? please elaborate as that sounds so cute and terrifying at once

​@@samuraigaming3042yeah there was a whole system to program yoir own AI partner with whatever parts you had. Then you could bring it with you to train it's AI like an amiibo from smash. Eventually some of them could be so good they would beat bosses all on their own

​@@HunterForHire422 Honestly the closest we get is that little help we get from Ayre in the True Ending's final boss fight but it would be cool if in DLC they made it possible to take AC Pilots that we're in good standing with as our optional UNACs for each mission. With the True Ending being the hardest because you don't have any of them except for Ayre who would get ECHO early in this case but I understand why UNACs couldn't come back because it would undermine the longer mission structure a bit.

Damn, if only this was a thing in oldgen. MTs that I hire as consorts in AC3 eventually upgrade to an AC which I can hire too, so I guess it's close enough.

11 yeasrs I waited for this, now it's happenging as it should Soy cucks that dislike this game do not deserve it.

You picking a fight with hundreds of other mechs, you outnumbered, out gunned and they think it should be easy?

If the camera/lock worked it would be an easy game. Due to the game being deliberately nerfed your second playthough is easy. You are intended to die until you figure out all the little gimmicks of the big bosses meaning survival is 'just keep trying' rather than skill. If the bosses are designed to exploit a problem system the devs left in there to create challenge..... it is not a 'difficult' game but a broken one.

@@nexusdrop7863 "You are intended to die until you figure out all the little gimmicks of the big bosses meaning survival is 'just keep trying' rather than skill." ??? Getting confronted w/ a new mechanic or hurdle and figuring out ways to deal w/ said mechanic doesn't count as skill? Damn, ig every video game doesn't take skill then. Also what do you mean by "If the camera/lock worked it would be an easy game."? Edit: By your "figure out all the little gimmicks" statement, do you mean the rock-paper-scissor nature of swapping to a different build? Your point isn't very clear on that.

@@QDRG64 Best example of 'gimmicks' is how the bosses enter a new stage with completely new attacks that basically require you to stop doing what you were doing. Your first time you have no idea what is happening and tend to die before you can figure it out. Follow that with how the bosses always fly PAST you so you have to fight the camera. Point being Fromsoft designed the game around knowing the gimmicks rather than being skilled enough to survive. As for how bad the camera/lock is: there is a video going around about how lock -reduced - accuracy by about 30% extra, to 50% total. Dude was doing range tests and noticed it. I noticed several times enemies would literally dodge as you pressed the fire button, meaning automatic dodge (cheating). You time the second shot to be in the brief window of pause when they dodge. Skipping that you have to fight the camera all the time. Lock, even when it is almost dead center (I mean that literally) , keeps jumping to new targets all the time. If keeping the target right in the middle of the screen is not enough then the issue is the mechanic not skill. To further that one you NEED to buy the boost turn skill, which is not only something you have to BUY but only available way too far in the game for such a necessary 'tool' for the game. Due to that mechanic being needed is why it takes no energy from your pool - you are supposed to use it A LOT. As far as the 'skill' of learning a new gimmick.... once you do there is no challenge. 2nd playthough was a joke, 2nd last boss easier than the 1st. Suddenly all the 'hard' bosses were dead in less than 1 minute. Not due to skill but that part of the gimmick was you had crap weapons. The game was designed around core functions not working. You find the game enjoyable because you are used to games having gimmicks. That is fine but is an argument of tedious instead of skill. Waiting 30 seconds for the boss to magically change/revive is not a skill aspect.

yeah good point- they did a lot better making the different legs and weights play differently.

I just wish they had more missions where you just fight non bosses

The people calling AC6 "too easy" are the same ones who say "I've lived a long healthy life by only breathing air and never eating food or drinking"

the words "FromSoft" and "Casuals" dont really go well together💀 thet being said, I still had quite a hard time on some bosses, and I am not new to FromSoft games at all. I found the game pretty hard, which I liked.

@@saftigerkeks5212 I mostly meant things like simplifying AC design from how it is in earlier games and loosening the early game economy. The missions and encounters are still suitably hard.

oh yeah man, my nostalgia was going fucking insane with this game haha i've pretty much not put it down since it came out

try 2 zimms and 1 pilebunker.if that didn't work try long range with homming missles and long range weapons and rifles

Flamers go fwoosh

nahh hel nah, if AC6 was open world, it would hurt it a lot

Well said

Hoping for some DLC to cover some of the wants that we as players and enjoyers of the game would like to see!!!

There won't be an AC7 for a long time, probably not till the next console generation and this one is just starting. What we WILL probably see are 2 more expansion titles of AC6 that build additional options and complexity into the game, new parts, re-balanced parts, new multi-player options, and settings wildly different from Fires of Rubicon. Honestly what makes the most sense for the next game is a Prequel set on Rubicon when it was a vibrant place that is more like the original Armored Core settings. Personally, I hope they move away from the Post-Apocalyptic stuff and start getting back into either a Pre or Post Catastrophy setting where either they're heading for some kind of collapse (Like the Fires of Rubicon) or they've fully built a new functional but cyberpunk dystopian society that is constantly being upended by corporations finding pre-Catastrophy super weapons and tech.

The number on AC6 is for the generation. So there's likely to be an AC6:B and AC7. No generation has had just one game in it so far

Development was not split. Fromsoft always have multiple teams working on separate projects, with AC6 being in development since before Sekiro came out.

Wait can you not blow off limbs in AC6? I swear I read something about it in game, or is that just weapons?

@@wieldylattice3015 No part destruction whatsoever sadly. Would be funny if I did tore someone's hand in the middle of zimmerman bumrush.

the thing i figured about AC that it changed drastically each isntallment, ive read this from a reddit making a tier list of the franchise just to see comments its really based on players subjective experience.

@@wieldylattice3015 you can eject all weapons if you have the OS upgrade

The only game you could destroy limbs in was last raven. So I think it's understandable they didn't bring that back since it was only in one game.

Thankfully, you are somewhat wrong on Steam charts, AC6 demolished DS3/Sekiro peak player counts, and is Fromsoft's 2nd best launch ever outside of Elden Ring, and I don't think that's just because of Elden Ring besides, mecha is niche because the genre is so damn inconsistent with quality, be it games, anime, movies, comics, etc. I've seen many, many people be turned into mecha fans because of AC6, which is a very good thing to me and I think AC6"FA" or AC6.5 will probably kick absolute ass

@@KatcriEN cant wait the the inevitable expansion to AC6. every armored core gets an expansion and fromsoft would be a fool not to make one for one of their best selling games ever.

@@Drbeattles Bandai Namco's CEO already announced before the launch of AC6 that they plan to continue the IP I think, for the most part, there's nowhere for them to go after Elden Ring outside of the DLC, so I'm pretty sure they'll be switching focus to AC for awhile especially after these insane numbers "AC6.5" might even be proper DLC lmao, who knows personally I hope that, if there's only one DLC, I hope it's a VD-esque FreQuency album with them at their best AC6's soundtrack is very good, but only 2-3 songs really have that AC charm to them

@@KatcriEN agree 100%. And more armored core is good in my books. Let’s pray for a mecha revival

@@Drbeattles hell yeah, I'm right there with you

Yes, it felt awkward at first, but then the harder bosses like broke me in, and I started getting faster, dodging more, jumping around, and boost kicking. Like, when you understand the movement and feel the momentum flinging yourself around kicking ass, it is just fun. And the customization is pretty nuts too. Story is a different but refreshing. Never thought I would care about the backstories of characters who I only know through emblems in the corrupt world. Different and refreshing these days.

​@@Swordmaster7thI think the main issue ppl have is forgetting they have no i-frames and have to move the mech out of the way

"Picking up a massive heat signature, evasive action Raven!"

“You need to focus on winning this”

Question, why don't the armored core's have flares or any other kind of missile defense system. Is there a reason in lore or is it just cause of game play?

Older AC games "kinda" had two handed weapons, weapon arms were cool

I feel sorry for those that can't beat the helicopter, its super easy. And if they say its to hard, their is probably a disable person out there playing this game no problem. God damn I have like the highest respect towards disable gamers that play from soft games or any fast paced games in general. I'm on new game+ and for the most part been having a blast. I never really had that much difficulty with the bosses, besides needing to change one gun in my loadout to beat said boss. Though the most difficulty i had with a couple of bosses was, A: learning i can fly in this game, and B: I need to be more aggressive. Or at least my build is built around being super aggressive. I never understood players that look up the best builds in a game when it's their first time playing it. Only time I can understand that is when playing a PVP game... but a PVE game seriously. Why look up op builds? that literally takes the fun out. I think these people should stay in their competitive pvp games.

Seriously LOL.

Helicopter boss be like: "You have no power here!"

most likely baltingus (they couldn't use 2% of their brain and equip the bubble gun the game literally gives them right before the fight)

@@Padlock_Steve Yo gimme some advice, I'm stuck on Balteus now. I'm pretty sure I'm using the bubble gun you're talking about, but I just can't seem to dodge his goddamn missiles.

On my second playthrough now, and it's the second AC game I've played (first was 4). Game is fun, but I definitely have my gripes about it. Idgaf what the loser ass gatekeepers who've played every game sitting in their mother's basement for 20 years or so, but I personally think that some of the bosses have bullshit levels of health that drag the fight a like 5 minutes too long unless youre using stupid builds (Sea Spider and SMART CLEANER in particular) , and that I find it bad that a fair bit of bosses in this game have bullshit hard to dodge giant FU laser attacks that deal like 4k AP (Sea Spider, Arquebus Balteus, off the top of my head, because I haven't done every ending yet). Camera sucks too at points, but that's probably the fault of fromsoftware using the same engine for almost every game they've made. Definitely gonna keep playing though, wanna see what extra content's are there

Honestly, I killed Aq Balteus so fast I don't remember any of its attacks. xD That boost kick is hilarious and so strong.

​@@sylvo1057totally agree with you it's fun but incredibly unbalanced game is easy and the bosses are really hard.

@@zacheryeckard3051 I beat Balteus after the 4th try. Unironically my favorite boss. The first pulse gun you unlock, JVLN Alpha, songbirds, and normal missile, with the Nachtreiher parts.

@@wilfredwayne7139 the normal missions are cakewalks, AC fights are generally fun (except for trying to kill general michigan, I actually gave up after the 10th try) and decided to kill the arquebus mfs, and boss fights are mid as fuck.

Have you tried mounting second melee on shoulder slot to combo stuff? It's pretty fun, but not quite like the old blader gameplay

@@---bl3sr I have! And it is fun, which is why I don't complain about it too much. I just miss having dual blades and blitzing toward my target at Mach Jesus

Hehe yea, those were good times@@roarkmcalister3242

Blading builds were only a 4A thing, really. Since they were stupid OP in that title. Super fun though. But also kind of glad it's not like that anymore. Because cheesing my way through the campaign with just a default Aaliyah and a blade felt like using cheat codes. Fun at first, but then it just gets boring because it makes the game trivial.

@@seventh-hydra I had fun against them in pvp myself, and i'm dual rifles kinda guy. :D

Except for that damn netcode, ffs fromsoft

Welcome to the Raven Nest!😁

@zerionairr thanks sir! I love my light builds. I know I need to experience other aspects, but man.

ikr? for me it's the control, it just clicks

except it's still not a souls like, dark souls never had focused on mobility.

I disabled hard lock immediately before I knew that. When I found out about pure manual aim I was happy, because I had seen projectiles collide several times. So you can probably shoot down missiles

It’s not perfect because : no radar and map capability. That’s honestly all it’s missing

I just wish the online pve/pvp was in the game Verdict day was super fun.

​@@JackdawGiftthere's literally a radar at the bottom of the screen lol

Ac2 man can't tell you how many times I watched the opening video, was hooked🍻

honestly, i was disappointed they didn’t go with Sekiro’s death punishment in ER. the whole “go get your souls back” thing has become nothing more than a chore. and especially in an open world, it actually would work against it, as some people would get so wrapped up on trying to get their xp back, that they wouldn’t go elsewhere when clearly they weren’t prepared for a certain area yet. that’s one “souls” mechanic that i wish “souls likes” would stop reusing. it was interesting at first. but once you’re used to it, and especially once you know to always spend your xp, or you hit that point where you don’t want to level anymore, then it doesn’t even matter if you pick them up. now in sekiro, where’d you’d just permanently lose xp and cash? yeah, that hurt. you’d even buy money bags for more than they were worth just to save your money. it forced you to think and be smart about HOW you dealt with your money, not just WHEN you spent it. …but even in AC, you still can be punished for doing poorly in a mission now- even getting a negative payout from a mission. who knows, maybe a dlc will bring back debt into AC? but yeah, you currently still have to worry about ammo costs, and penalties etc on missions.

Its because AC is a completionist game. Its more about S ranking missions and making different builds that can do so. Not so much about getting through the game initially like Elden ring.

@@jordanneal8979 fair point. I still like to think FS showed mercy on us tho LOL

The difficulty spikes make elden ring look completely pathetic lol. its more struggle in a single chapter (at least for a biped purist) than it took for me to beat elden ring twice, with a vanilla str build. unless you're one of those wheelchair tank build freaks that claim is completely disingenuous

If you try to S-Rank the bosses, the difficulty will spike quite a lot.

The aimbot and stagger system need to go. What's the aimbot system? Hardlock.

@@jonathanclarke5763 no, the focus of the game was meant to be mobility first also controller uses need hard lock because the thumb stick aiming isn't snappy like the mouse. also aimbot is always their, hard lock just makes it impossible to lose sight of the target.

its the same as the others yet different enough to give a unique experience imo and its amazing

for sure, AC isn't dark souls and the fact that a lot of these people think that it should be just goes to show that the people the game is attracting isn't really its target audience also the fact that dark souls players got a rep for being toxic really kinda sucks because i know first hand that the vast majority of the people are actually super chill and just looking through the comments and seeing how many people just have a disdain for the series because of the players is sad becuase they probably wont expeience the game for what it is

how to delete these vocal minority in real time? This pisses me off too since this is also my first intro to ac series and I think these people just want to groan because they have the privilege to moan and groan in the social media. Take the internet away and let see how these righteous bastards cry in solitude without anyone to give them attention lol.

Probably the only games that I can truly say i never regret buying full price

Uhhh... The fact that Armored Core fans gets ran out of their own damn community and the mods bans/remove AC discussion on the subreddit say otherwise

I've never done either AC nor Souls games before. With AC6, I'm halfway through it and love it so far. Yeah, certain specs are needed for boss fights, but I'm good with it. Since I'm enjoying this series, do you recommend I start playing the Souls games? Was thinking of picking up the remastered version of the first game and work my way up.

I couldn't agree more

This was sort of possible around Armored Core 3's era. Armored Core 3/Silent Line and Nexus/Nine Breaker/Last Raven all used the exact same companies/parts lists, with each title adding a few new things.

​@zerosen2141 you could actually do this for every generation till the 4th. All 3 ps1 games you could carry over and armored core 2 and it's follow up also let you. It's one of my favorite mechanics the old games had. 4 onward only let you transfer blueprints or some emblems which was a little disappointing

the mass lock helps save ammo on primaries with low total count

@@dakota9821 Saving ammo has hardly been a problem in this game tho. The only time I ran out of ammo is when I tried to cheese the Ibis fight by using Carlas load out.

It's all the non-niche-fitting gamers following the next Fromsoft release after Elden Ring blew up getting filtered by the Tutorial boss

Because a lot of Souls players themself use "Git Gud" in the wrong context. A lot them use it in terms of "yeah you suck at the game, but i don't want to help/tell you how to get better at the game, even though thats not the meaning of "Git Gud" .

Yeah having my mech be slow and run arround with a claymore would realy ruin the power fantasy lmao

The movement in the game is definitely more fluid with less 'weight' when landing and turning. Some AC vets may not enjoy it but the newer polish to bring the game up to date was needed when you compare it to games other games available not just mech games.

I guess, but most of the AC builds are faster relative to their size than even light Elden Ring builds. Some of the AC builds break mach 1 just DODGING.

I thought the opposite was true. Not enough energy weapons. Kinetic weapons definitely need a boost though. Especially in the sniper/rifle category

@@kybalion5205 Id say we have an okay amount of plasma/laser/pulse weaponry, and missiles/explosives, but when it comes to plainly kinetic projectile weapons, it's kind of lacking as it stands. The only shoulder launched kinetic weapon so far is the needle launcher. (not to mention the complete lack of kinetic melee weapons aside from the ashmead)

some weapons like pistols also have absurdly low ammo counts and you really have to hit your shots or you can run out during a single bossfight. That combined with their range being even lower than zimmerman for some reason. And what is really weird is explosive weapons already being kinda op due to their impact but they're also sort of the only weapons viable at longer ranges.

​​@@Akrilloththere's a chainsaw, so 2 kinetic melees

What is your source for knowing about it a year before it was even announced? It was only confirmed *with* the trailer you're talking about in December of last year...

Wow they made AC into Souls Like and Souls players love it? Shocking

@@buttscarlton1490 No I mean I only found out about the series's existence and then about a year after that the first trailer for Armored Core 6 was shown

​@@MrMykse but they didn't turn it into a Souls like? From what I've seen in the comments of this video some of the AC vets have said that AC6 feels like AC3, as well as taking notes from AC4 and AC5. I don't know why some of you guys insist it's a Souls like just because there's a hard lock-on as well now and Bosses.

@@MrMykseThe bosses are not shit this time = souls like?

First off, hello fellow AC vet. You are absolutely right. Other then a few crashes here and there that people have reported, you are not getting any....Fall Out or Cyber Punk moments with this game. Its kinda wild how people arent talking more about..man..this game just works out the gate. Even tho I just had a major crash literally a few moments ago, i blame that more on my rig. PC is almost 13 years old and STILL able to run Ac6 with Ultrawide support. A lot of unappreciated work goes into doing all that.

The only two bugs I've heard of is a weird interaction between tank tracks, shields and some heavier weapons and then some ragdolls like heavy MTs getting stuck in walls if hit hard enough.

@@TriloGStudio I too was surpised by how well AC6 works. My pc spec is well below minimum req, but I still preordered the game because goddamit I was waiting for it for so long. During the first playthrough I've had like 2 or 3 crashes, and other than having 7fps in AC assembly there were no issues.

The only crashes I get are in the menus. When I'm actually in game there's 0 issues

​@@vergilchair9517System recovery stat on heads seems to be bugged as well.

I’ve never felt such adrenaline rushes during some of AC 6’s bosses… Balteus, the Sea Spider, and Enforcer especially. I was so on edge that after overcoming them I was like “… WOW …!” It felt so good, but was definitely pretty insane. This game has proven excellent to me so much lol

Literally this. As a 3rd gen guy, this game feels like what those epic intro cinematics looked like. It feels like what AC always wanted to be. Only problem is some weapon balancing, like dual gatling guns being stupid OP. And almost all the complaints are from newer Elden Ring type players. Of all the ones he showed, only one was an AC vet (and probably just a 4a guy). The rest either directly mentioned Elden Ring/Dark Souls, or people complaining about gameplay elements that have been a part of AC since 1. But not really present in those titles.

@@joevaghn457 balteus especially had me on edge and focused, after a bit I wasn’t even dying to him I was just restarting the fight whenever I took damage that I knew how to dodge. After idk like 15 tries I admitted to myself that my build just wasn’t going to work, went back to the garage, remembered the pulse gun and realized it countered his shield, remembered that the regular missiles I was using were mostly missing and equipped plasma missiles instead, and then just melted him on the second try after that. I cheered a bit because I learned the fight enough to not really get hit and made a better build, then I promptly flipped balteus off because that’s what he deserves.

@@seventh-hydra there being a weapon imbalance is a little tricky and it’s definitely the only real issue with the game and it isn’t a huge issue exactly; there are a decent amount of combinations that work very well but some of the weapons are just...harder to use effectively. Some of the weapons are just better by their nature in relation to how the game wants you to play, it very much wants you up close and personal so something like the Zimmerman’s are going to do super well whereas the linear rifles don’t really have enough difference in range to make up for the loss of damageor even the gatlings are good because there’s so many bullets that even outside of effective range you’re still dealing some damage and stagger. There were always kinda OP setups but ammo limits and costs prevent people from running them all the time on everything, without that I’m not sure they exactly knew what to do. Which is fine, many other builds are useable; I think they’re just getting back into the swing of things since they haven’t made an AC game in so long and are trying new things which might take some time to get a handle on. Still a fantastic time, I’m going through ng++ now and I’ve specifically been trying to run more tailor made builds for missions and bosses.

@@DBDThePartyProbe Gen 2+3 here as well and currently in my 4th playthrough of 6. talking balance i'd say it's honestly whatever when it comes to PvE, but when it comes to PvP there are a few issues (not that i'm really into PvP myself): shotguns (most prominently the zimmerman), coral weapons and the stun needle launcher are all kinda OP, but there's also the fact that light AC's have little advantage over heavy ones. i mean, back in the day we had turn speed, now even tanks have this quick turn, and the assault boost makes it almost impossible for a light sniper to stay away from a heavy brute.

Exactly. We robots out here, not rolling out with invincibility frames and 10 potions. (granted..we do have 3 now lol)

I mean there are melee weapons out there... if they want to use them

fr they dumb

@@Apollo-tj1vm As soon as I heard "plasma claymore" I outloud went "nah that's bait. That's a man who gets off to getting yelled at."

Well said

Same, AC 6 for me was rather trivial since I have my experience with both AC and Souls, this game was made with both fanbases in mind and it shows. Really miss the debt system, using gatling guns and grenade launchers and still losing money on a succesful mission, good times.

That mission was my favorite of the entire campaign, ngl. The banter from the enemies, the challenge of ammo conservation, running out of ammo for my weapons then needing to punch the last dozen of MTs to death while avoiding getting killed at around 1k AP... the hypest shit in the game, hands down.

for me was attacking the dam on NG+, fighting iguazu and volta

Exactly lol. Ac6 was a Jam for sure. Even I had to take a step back and reset my thinking.

Exactly and the weapon balance is awful but God forbid you say anything besides its the best thing ever. They will just say you're just bad at the game when they know inside it's simply not as fun as they're pretending for their ego.

NG+ doesn't really have anything harder than the first playthrough had, the alternate version of attack the dam was probably as bad as it got, but even that wasn't as bad as the intercept the red guns mission. NG++ is where it really ramps up, but by that point you've got every os upgrade and two full playthroughs under your belt, so it's definitely warranted

Good news, Balteus and other bosses are getting nerfed as well as getting a balance patch!

@@fernandozavaletabustos205 not a fan of the boss nerfs, I was thinking of nerfing op weapons and the gank fights. Also buffing some weak weapons to make them viable.

wdym? this was the first game I ever played that actually has new missions, voicelines and options to choose. NG+ couldnt be better in my opinion.

@@fernandozavaletabustos205 Nothing was good about that my dude

IKR!! The movement feels SO GOOD it’s like buttery smooth. If you wanna do an interesting experiment, Find an AC1 iso and a PSX emulator and see what god awful movement feels like 😂😂😂

Isn't the "git gud" aspect the secret sauce of FROM SOFTWARE games? This aspect should have been expected before people even consider adding this game to their check-out carts.

The boss is not really a git gud but more so "stop using one build and playstyle" type of boss for me personally As for the balance I feel like it will take a while since a faster game like AC will be harder to balance

Balance issues arent exclusive to this game, all fromsoftware souls games have had balance issues before patches

Not so much balance issue as it is more like players looking up meta builds and going with Zimmerman's and Songbirds because the internet told them to, instead of experimenting like you are supposed to. They did this to Elden Ring and any other game as well. Super OP set ups that were suppose to be found by chance/experimentation instead get recommended as the meta by minmaxers who suck the fun out of the game lol

it is absolutely not a git gud type of game, i was struggling against a boss, so i changed to a pure missile spam build, and it was way easier, there is nothing "git gud" about the game forcing me to change builds into something OP and meta or ranged and spammy

I feel ya. I think it was a satire, but i felt the clip was perfect because I had plenty of people just in my local play group pretty much asking the same. They really wanted Mecha Souls.

I don’t even get why that lock on assist was such a huge point of drama with AC 6. It’s stuck a stupid thing to worry about.

I think it's for the best that the game takes a linear mission-based approach. You can't exactly make a varied open world if the entire setting is a post-apocalyptic industrial wasteland. Would get old pretty quickly.

Dude I've been waiting for good gundam game for a while now. Ac6 is what a gundam game should be

Didn't they make a gundam game?

@GTSW1FT no, he's saying that it's everything that he wants in a gundam game but it's not a gundam game. Gundam should make their games like this though.

@@bullet95781 oh hard agree there, but I was just say that fromsoft may have already made a gundam game?

@@GTSW1FT if they did then that's news to me haha
