As a veteran that started playing over 20 years ago, you hit the nail on the head when it came to the short 5 min missions compared to the long ones. I’d hate it if they got rid of the short ones all together. As a Bungie employee once said… “it’s all about capturing that 30 seconds of fun, over and over again”
I want to give a shoutout to many Armored Core content creators, because they deserve a lot of love for their efforts after all the years and specially since this franchise will get more popular (this includes you, Iron Pinneapple, Oroboro, Zentreya, Fightincowboy and VaatiVidya): - The Lore Hunter - Silver Glint - AesirAesthetics - Armoredcorelore - Love_Arc - Sinclair Lore - Anatolia's Mercenary - MrHappy1227 (though he is more focused on Final Fantasy) - Rubicon Dogs - Zealous (Znote) - Cleric - FromCheng - Writing on Games - Above Average Gaming
I'm not a fromsoft games player. I'm not a mech enthusiast. I'm not even a single player or action game player. But I do love fighting games, and, especially when fighting humanoid acs, it feels like a 3d fighting game. It's amazing. I'm a fan for life now.
Yeah, there are feints, animation cancels, fakeouts, whiffs and clutch moments. Fighting game techniques can work here if you remember to also take into account of the maneuvers on a 3D plane.
From a technical perspective this is easily From's strongest launch to date. No crashes, lag, framedrops, works perfect on Linux out the box. Very impressive, especially considering their track record.
I first played Armored Core just over 20 years ago and I can't remember the last time I played ANY Armored Core. It might have been close to then. But somehow this game feels like the exact progression of everything I expected the game to be. In a good way. Im old... this game is super nostalgic somehow. Did FromSoft just drop a GoTY on us? Is FromSoft the new Death Row records?
Same here, my main concern was about the smaller enemies meaning the main enjoyment of the game comes solely from bosses to the point where the lead up would t be that enjoyable. The other is how I feel like the reliance on switching up parts to beat a boss feels more like you are choosing the parts that were designed to win, less about me actually beating the boss solely due to my own decisionmaking
@@thebulletkin8393I've beat the game and let me tell you that you can essentially beat every boss with whatever build you want. There's just build that are more effective to certain bosses but everything still works if you have a playstyle you prefer
although I do feel like this is going to be a bit of a debatable one considering also Boulder Gate 3 and Final Fantasy 15, tears of the Kingdom and one or two others we will wait and see this free for all go to me I'm probably going to lean towards Starfield even though it kind of feels a bit at least likely@@coereyw
I'm so bad at this game. It took me 6 tries to beat the tutorial boss...but once i figured it out, it was very satisfying. I'm looking forward to progressing. Love this gem.
@@justinmcguffey1060 basically lol, I just finished up chapter 3 last night, that fight was super fun, and very cool, kinda wish it was a little longer but I’m not sure how that would’ve worked out
dual plasma missile (or cannons one you unlock them) + dual plasma rifles if you wanna melt the big boi bosses like Balteus :) I wouldn't be surprised if it gets nerfed because of how good Nebula is in pve and pvp lol
Balteus and Ibes fights I believe to me where the hardest fights so far. But the weapon from the end of chapter 3 helps, use 2 of them and duel miniguns and it rips any opponent apart
They used to hide parts in game with unique perks not many but a few. If so be sure to look around those maps on missions. If they didn't well that would be a bummer i loved finding them hidden around.
I feel it needed to be a bit drab in the foreground in order to make sure you could see all of the other visual noise on your display and around you. I can't imagine keeping up with this game with horizon level colors, textures, and physics going crazy in the enviroment. The mechs, backgrounds, set pieces, all look amazing. Not to mention holding a solid fps with enemies like balteus
fr, I don't know where to start, just finished Remnant 2 (still missing hardcore) and haven't even started Baldur's Gate.. There there's this coming out in half an hour, Lies of P in September, Lords of the Fallen coming in October.. it's insane
Mechassault 2 was best Mechassault. You still have the MechWarrior games and 6 officially unofficially was announced. I think after 6 the license goes back to Microsoft. That would be the only hope we could have of a Mechassault 3.
What an unbelievably good game this is. The movement and the flow is some of the smoothest ive ever played. Gameplay is so good that i dont even pay attention to the story anymore. I hope this game finally gets the recognition it deserves.
Definitely a niche game. Probably only satisfies veterans of armored core. Watched enough now to know the game looks lame af but that's only my opinion. Enjoy your robot seizure inducer.
I disagree I think the movement is seriously lacking this is after meeting the first boss in the game the mobility and movement just feels lacking with a boost bar but I've never played any previous armored core so that may be how it's always been but I'm not sure it's for me feeling slow in a mech as opposed to actually being able to dash about constantly and fly almost indefinitely
You guys have to at least unlock some of the parts from doing arena which is early game, especially the kick. Also, at least beat chapter 1 boss. I think that's when the game truly begins.
Man this game just had to drop the same week my fall semester starts. But I've been ready for the past decade brotha! Yet the longest wait of all Is these few hours leading to launch
The simple addition of the "Contextual Help" button. should make this game of the year on its own. every game should adopt this. This needs to be industry standard shit right here. The whole game is great, BUT THAT BUTTON IS A GAME CHANGER! You look at a generator and wonder, "What does {energy weapon spec} actually do? is it just more dmg?" Turns out, it also heavily affects charge speed! It even clarifies that it doesn't apply to plasma missiles because they don't charge. Now thats good shit right there! 9.8/10 User Interface (and thats just because i dont believe in perfect scores!)
As a Day 1 veteran of AC this is absolutely a great entry into the series. It's far and above the quality of V and Verdict Day. I still have a fondness for AC:Silent Line being my favorite in the series but this MAY surpass it.
I only playes Armored Core when I was still single digits in age 20 years ago with the OG game. AC6 is a different beast entirely in a good way and lets me inject my mech combat addiction directly into my veins
I loved the PS2 era of AC games AC3 and Silent Line being my favs but after playing the PS3 era AC games i didn't like them it was wayyyy too different from the previous games...This one looks more like the PS3 era that's unfortunate but i might try it once it goes on sale...Man i miss them AC games on PS2 (i still have all 7 games for it).
Slight error in this review. There is the OS system that you can update, and it's kind of like a skill tree. So there IS something beyond just the skills of the player and building unlocked parts otherwise. I feel like that should be touched on. It does get mentioned later, but for those who would tune out to soon would miss this fun fact. It is a replacement of the skill tree bit, but done in a very good way.
I got to say even if the game isn’t the best at graphics it’s pretty darn good still. I’m already on my game + on it I love this game my ac is build to be round about all purpose. Can move fast enough to make it count but tough enough to last and mix of weapons mostly around mid to close range. Also just getting good after many hours of stress lol
This game reminds me of a more hardcore version of ratchet and clank. You find power in unlocking sick ass weapons and there’s no stat upgrading just gaining currency and unlocking weapons and armor and completing missions. R&C is more story driven and caters to the casual then AC caters to the hardcore gamer. Then how successful you are depends on your movement and weapon choices which R&C also depends on but to a lesser degree. As a person who grew up with ratchet and clank and loved them all but have never played armored core until now I can say this game is amazing it is just what I wanted as an adult gamer who enjoys shooting games and a challenge.
Everyone constantly be comparing it with all this “souls-like” bs. Honestly I’m glad it has little to nothing to do with souls. I’ve played every AC game and was a Raven before the whole Souls generation took over. I’m glad AC stands on its own as an outstanding game and the Souls generation can learn to step outside of that mentality and rediscover the AC franchise.
Im a Vet ive played all gens of AC except gen 4 and it took me a lil under 72hrs of gameplay to nearly platinum the game besides S ranking all sorties. Either way where AC6 is today i love it, while i miss a few things from previous series i still think the games amazing n im glad to have it back
Even the credits mission have hidden information in them. The devs don't waste missions. And yes, the cleanup mission has hidden information that make you realize things.
I will say this game was so well optimized. I went in expecting my mid rig to hardly keep 60fps but not once have i dipped or crashed. Only real issue (and this my not even be the game) is a bit of input lag for controller
or a cosplay action simulator where you can build a mech based on fav childhood times favorite animated series like beast wars, transformers, gundam etc
I had heard that the story was lacking, but the way you compared the story telling to ace combat tells me what they meant. It also tells me the story isn’t lacking
I'm only just through to chapter 2, but so far I'm finding the snippets of story really compelling. There are characters I hate (Snail), factions I'm rooting for and disappointed when I have to go on a mission against, and intrigue which I won't spoil. In typical From style the story is fragmented and relies on you putting those fragments into a coherent order, but in many ways it's much more explicit than Dark Souls and only marginally less explicit than Sekiro.
I was so hyped for this since I love armored core 5, but this is just way too hard for me. Nothing wrong with the game though, I just wish it had co op so I could get help with some of the bosses. 😥
this game is all i wanted for about 10 years since GunZ the Duel died, insanely fast, impressive, very fast in response movement that just feels so real and versatile... just like in GunZ, which i loved for years when i played and dedicated myself to be one of the best in european scene... brings back that old struggle i was so addicted to, and obviously, overcomming this challange, whatever fromsoft cooked for me, ill take it without questions i dont care how this game looks if its fast, unforgiving, action packed mech game with dashing, bouncing, flying over, swooping, slashing, sniping, bombaring and blasting with rocket missless - im fucking sold on day one
I know the game is quite short so I've been tossing up whether to get it. I finally just caved and bought it. Hopefully it's fun enough for a couple playthroughs.
Having a lot of fun with the game, but yes my only kinda complaint would be the world design. I don't need hyper realistic graphics, the graphical fidelity present is fine, but after a while I felt the game lost my interest visually. Im not an AC player, this is my first one, so I realize that may be a hallmark of the series and something longtime fans appreciate.
I guess there's an attempt to try and bring it back with the first games remake. Hopefully it sells well enough to show there's interest for more mainline games
💥💥 This seemed like a old school game review from back in the day when game review channels used to be good like IGN GameSpot etc did you used to work for IGN?
I see alot comments of people who saying they're getting bored to death. People nowadays have the attention span of a goldfish 😂😂😂. It's extremely difficult but I know I'll get better as i put some more hours in.
As a vet, its different from what I'm expecting mainly because of how the game seems dead set on forcing me on close quarters encounters when I play most AC games from afar.
Sorry to break it to you But it has already been confirmed that they are also working on another game, codenamed: Spellbound They are a big studio, so they can work on more than one thing at the time
I had to get it refunded. The game itself is AMAZING. There is nothing wrong with it at all. I was so hyped up for it since I loved armored core 5. I’m just absolutely terrible at it. I hit a wall with Balteus and it gets me way too frustrated and angry. I’ve attempted changing my build a few times but I don’t think it matters when I’m really bad at the game. If it had co op, I would enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Elden Ring. Despite loving Armored Core 5, maybe this is just not for me. 😥
Lol, you have options on how many mech designs you can save. Me loving my 1 design and only changing weapons based if I'm inside or outside for a mission
did you say this game isnt graphically good...? WHAT?! this game is beautiful, having vibrant areas would make no sense in this game. Rubiucon is a dark, destroyed, battle torn world. it's had many occurances of coral burning and destroying entire continents..
Yea I think graphics are good. On par with what From always does where they just have good artists. but yea its not Horizon Forbidden West. To be fair I dont think theres a chance in hell of getting stable frames if it did. All those games just crank up the shadows and reflections and Bloom to kind of fake you out anyway its not really better.
I've been waiting to see your review of this (Saw Livid's activity on this on my friend list, haha), but I've been waiting on AC6 even since I was playing AC: Verdict Day. This game's been a LONG time coming, and I'm SO glad that it sounds like it won't disappoint. I wish it had campaign co-op, or even the Mercenary system of AC:VD (you could save your builds to be hireable allies for other players, which would earn you the profit cut your copy makes, or you could go on those missions yourself), but I'm just happy to see AC getting the return to glory that it deserves!
its just a souls game. Slow everything, poor boost mechanics, staggering is a very very very persistent issue, health pots (called repairs in this game) and no UI such as minimap, or easy to read missile direction indication. just a slight beep when something (dont even know if it was far or close) fires at you. after that you don't have any info on what or were the shot is. like I said, its just a Souls game that's been put into mech form. I hope I save you $70 if you want a true core game.
@@Warriorswell I'd pre-ordered it, and have been playing the hell out of it so far. Just cleared chapter one, and have been enjoying it the whole way. So, it may not be for everyone, but no game is.
You say it’s a must play yet some many have and can’t beat the tutorial and that’s pitiful to me that they can’t cause the tutorial boss in wo long was difficult to beat this game had pretty easy bosses especially if you know what parts to use for which boss ain’t difficult they just have a skill issue imo 😂 this is the only review I got for it

0 crashes here. 70 hours. This game needs goty by far
Mine crashed more than once till I found out that I had to turn off ray tracing.
And minimal loading time🔥

last mech game I played was Chromehounds, goated game
I for one welcome the dystopian setting.
I had heard that the story was lacking, but the way you compared the story telling to ace combat tells me what they meant. It also tells me the story isn’t lacking
Probably people stuck at the first chapter. Story is not ground breaking, but definitively serviceable. Beside, its story was never the major draw.

I think the graphics are great running it on max with ray tracing it looks like CG mech action movie: the game: 6: Fires of My Graphics Card
Ray tracing only applies in the garage sadly.
@@LegacyGamingUSno I switched to raytracing on the first mission and the lighting around the fires was beautiful.
I enjoyed this. Subbed.
The game really does what it can to teach the skills you need for the bosses even if some of the bosses are jerks...sea spider

Wall running dungeon crawler shooter. Was great too bad about the sequel being an entirely different genera of game.
Another good one was xteel.
I can't fucking wait!
I know the game is quite short so I've been tossing up whether to get it. I finally just caved and bought it. Hopefully it's fun enough for a couple playthroughs.
Having a lot of fun with the game, but yes my only kinda complaint would be the world design. I don't need hyper realistic graphics, the graphical fidelity present is fine, but after a while I felt the game lost my interest visually. Im not an AC player, this is my first one, so I realize that may be a hallmark of the series and something longtime fans appreciate.
Different genre, but I'd love if AC6 succeeds well enough to bring Front Mission back to the US.
I guess there's an attempt to try and bring it back with the first games remake. Hopefully it sells well enough to show there's interest for more mainline games
the second i heard FROM SOFTWARE i knew its a must buy i mean like elden ring and dark soals r so funnn this looks amazing
Its Zone of the Enders in its fullest form. Its great.
Souls games are like Armored Core not the other way. Armored Core was long before the first Souls game.
You have done a superb gameplay video here. Mind if I
share it in a Gaming leaderboards discord I created with some friends?
Great video!
I just live giant mechs and used to love gundam as a child. This shit is like a drean
💥💥 This seemed like a old school game review from back in the day when game review channels used to be good like IGN GameSpot etc did you used to work for IGN?
I see alot comments of people who saying they're getting bored to death. People nowadays have the attention span of a goldfish 😂😂😂. It's extremely difficult but I know I'll get better as i put some more hours in.
As a vet, its different from what I'm expecting mainly because of how the game seems dead set on forcing me on close quarters encounters when I play most AC games from afar.
The lack of having a proper sniper class of weapons make it quite evident no?
@@lesslighter The game is very close ranged focused. Not a fan of that.
yeaaa I like the gsme a lot but it does boil down to speed and medium/close range.
I haven’t played this game since the first one but I ordered my Xbox X and I’m eagerly waiting to get it on
As a newcomer, this game was pretty damn dope. 😎👍🏻
I know they are totally different games, but what did you have more fun with, AC6 or Remnant II?
I think they are both exceptional games, but for us, Remnant II by a large margin haha
FINALLY! Now FromSoft can focus on Shadow Of the Erdtree 😈
They are. Miyazaki didn't direct this game.
Sorry to break it to you
But it has already been confirmed that they are also working on another game, codenamed: Spellbound
They are a big studio, so they can work on more than one thing at the time
I’m loving it so far
About half way thru. Gotta say it’s a contender for Goty
I had to get it refunded. The game itself is AMAZING. There is nothing wrong with it at all. I was so hyped up for it since I loved armored core 5. I’m just absolutely terrible at it. I hit a wall with Balteus and it gets me way too frustrated and angry. I’ve attempted changing my build a few times but I don’t think it matters when I’m really bad at the game. If it had co op, I would enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Elden Ring. Despite loving Armored Core 5, maybe this is just not for me. 😥
You're on Balteus already? Whoa.
Fast 🫡
To be fair that balteus fight was a bullshit difficulty spike. Many players struggled vs it, veterans and newbies alike.
bubble gun and melee weapons. keep up the pressure. try to get ABOVE him in phase 2 to avoid all the flame stuff. I had to take a break and come back.
Amazing review 👏
Glad you liked it
@@LegacyGamingUS
👍😁👍
AC 6 has me feeling like a kid again
Can we appreciate how they tried their best to make this amazing video for us 💖💖💖
For PvP: is everything unlocked at the beginning, or do I have to play the campaign?
From what I have heard is no. You need to unlock things via the campaign and arena
I’ve also heard that you unlock PvP sometime during the second chapter of the game, but take that with a grain of salt
You unlock PvP in Ch2, but you need to go about unlocking all your parts still.
I'm really thinking about this one
I don’t understand the graphics gripe. The game looks great, just what you’d expect from a mech game.
Lol, you have options on how many mech designs you can save. Me loving my 1 design and only changing weapons based if I'm inside or outside for a mission
Thats funny I have easily 35 builds saved and categorized by leg type, labeled and all that😂
Love the videos
The games pretty decent I'm enjoying it. I'd give it like a 7.5.
Excellent review!
Can't wait
did you say this game isnt graphically good...? WHAT?! this game is beautiful, having vibrant areas would make no sense in this game. Rubiucon is a dark, destroyed, battle torn world. it's had many occurances of coral burning and destroying entire continents..
Noone cares about what coral is or did to this plaent - game looks extremely outdated and underwhelming buddy.
@@Alex-ii2zt you are delusional or a troll.
Yea I think graphics are good. On par with what From always does where they just have good artists. but yea its not Horizon Forbidden West.
To be fair I dont think theres a chance in hell of getting stable frames if it did. All those games just crank up the shadows and reflections and Bloom to kind of fake you out anyway its not really better.

I've been waiting to see your review of this (Saw Livid's activity on this on my friend list, haha), but I've been waiting on AC6 even since I was playing AC: Verdict Day. This game's been a LONG time coming, and I'm SO glad that it sounds like it won't disappoint. I wish it had campaign co-op, or even the Mercenary system of AC:VD (you could save your builds to be hireable allies for other players, which would earn you the profit cut your copy makes, or you could go on those missions yourself), but I'm just happy to see AC getting the return to glory that it deserves!
its just a souls game. Slow everything, poor boost mechanics, staggering is a very very very persistent issue, health pots (called repairs in this game) and no UI such as minimap, or easy to read missile direction indication. just a slight beep when something (dont even know if it was far or close) fires at you. after that you don't have any info on what or were the shot is. like I said, its just a Souls game that's been put into mech form. I hope I save you $70 if you want a true core game.
@@Warriorswell I'd pre-ordered it, and have been playing the hell out of it so far. Just cleared chapter one, and have been enjoying it the whole way. So, it may not be for everyone, but no game is.
You say it’s a must play yet some many have and can’t beat the tutorial and that’s pitiful to me that they can’t cause the tutorial boss in wo long was difficult to beat this game had pretty easy bosses especially if you know what parts to use for which boss ain’t difficult they just have a skill issue imo 😂 this is the only review I got for it
