I played Metal Wolf Chaos after Dark Souls and got a stark awakening there. Granted I dont belive its as smooth or better to play than AC. Story and cutscenes more than made up for any gameplay frustrations around swapping weapon parts at least. RICHARRRRRRDDDDD |

Having never played an Armoured Core game before - what's the split between fucking up robots and faffing in the garage? If they keep the same game balance you'll be able to go in guns blazing for a few missions, then the difficulty will start ramping up.
At that point you can spend as little or as long as you want experimenting with your mech set-up if get into custom colouring and decals you might be able to spend longer in there than the mission, I'm sure there will be a 1001 best build guides within days of launch for the easily frustrated, for everybody else part of the fun is experimenting with various set-ups ranging from close range melee specialist to a stealth attacking ranged type.

Appreciate this Cappy - definitely sounds like it ticks a LOT of boxes. I'm game. |

It sounds as though Armored Core VI may do for Armored Core what Monster Hunter: World did for that franchise - streamline and modernise it enough to attract new players, while keeping existing fans happy because the series' core (no pun intended!) remains intact.
That's a tough needle to thread, but Capcom managed it with MH:W, and I think From may just have it in them to follow suit.

Ulythium. That's a great comparison. I'd be very happy if it worked out that way.

Preview by VaatiVidya - I'm neither a fan nor a hater, but there's definitely some pretty interesting analysis regarding the HUD (removed from the preview footage), lock on (soft and hard), the stagger mechanic, garage customisation etc.

Game looks great, more or less what I hoped. Honestly this and Starfield got me excited for new games this summer.

Even though I doubt I'll click with it, that trailer has got my ass temps cranked to 9.

Almost feel obligated to buy it because its From Software, even though Mech games do absolutely nothing for me

Looks great, even if it is just a CGI trailer.
Damn, there is so much to be playing this year.

I'm not sure I understand the whole 'ass temps' thing, but a cursory glance at my rectal thermometer suggests that I am, in fact, pretty damn excited for this game.

I'm ready. I absolutely cannot wait to play about 3/4 of the way through this before getting distracted by something else and finally finishing it 5 years later.

Looks good. I'll wait for reviews though as mechs are pretty much all the least appealing things for me in any form of entertainment.

But its From Software Same here, I don't remember enjoying a mech game, the whole messing (mech-ing?) around exchanging mechanical parts I don't understand (same with driving simulators) to slightly improve your build does nothing for me, but if it reviews well (I'm sure it will) I'll probably cave when on sale (around New Year or next summer)...
After all, it is From  |

Is changing mech parts that much different from switching out gauntlets or helmets?
