Movement in AC6 is probably the most satisfying out of any game I played. Quick turns during assault boosting (instant 90* turns) and melee cancels (basically cheap dashes with tracking) really bring the whole thing together for me!
I seriously love this game! Finally beating Balteus after countless attempts brought back the feelings I had while playing my very first Souls game and i love it.
Playing AC6 for about 30 hours so far and with it being my first AC game, this has quickly become on my favorite games in recent memory. I swear I haven't played a game in a long while like this where I'm constantly feeling a hype feeling anytime I'm doing battle and especially against other ACs or bosses. My friends on discord have even had to listen to me sound like some damn anime protag with how much I get focused in and exclaim my excitement for attacks from both the bosses and myself. Even though I know the past games are nothing quite like 6, I'm even going through the trouble of trying to use emulators to play the previous Armored Cores just to check them out.
Great video, Raven! Now get back out there and show those other mercs what it means to carry the name. (Genuinely though, great work and watching you improve as you play is a treat in itself)
Some bosses were a massive difficulty spike and rage inducing the first time around, but I kept at it and now I've completed every mission in the game, true ending included, and found every combat log. so if too hard means too frustrating for people, I doubt my patience with games is significantly greater than most. if anything it should be a bit less, due to other factors of my life which suck and have eroded my patience/
Ayo... that's... a bit interesting thought although... the only thing that I could see the similarities is the Melander type. It does looked like a starter ac from 3 to me.
After playing through all the endings, nah it's its own thing. There's some stuff that screams "similarities to AC1 and AC2," but that's about it. It can't be a prequel to AC2 because AC1, Project Phantasma, and Master of Arena are the prequels to AC2, namely AC1 and MoA.
This game is so good but the end boss of chapter 4 actually made me want to uninstall, worst boss Fromsoft has ever designed please for the love of God somebody mod in a 9Ball fight in its place
I like the game, but the boss fights feel overtuned. The tutorial boss took me 2-3 tries, but the chapter 1 boss has been gatekeeping me since yesterday afternoon. I've bought every part in the shop, watched various guides, etc., but the boss is still kicking my ass. You can't tell me that I'm just some whiny player that expects a handout. I've played the older AC games and the souls games. This boss fight is just too much.
I wouldn’t say any of the bosses are overtuned, it’s more that they’re all knowledge/mechanics and potentially build checks. The game very much wants and requires you to take advantage of prior knowledge from other bosses and encourages you to build out whole new mechs if you’re struggling. Heli and balteus very much want you using Assault boost a bunch to dodge incoming fire, focus on building stagger and cashing out damage during it, etc. and on the build side of things they specifically give you the counter to balteus shield, the pulse rifle, right before.
@@DBDThePartyProbeI'd still say they are a little bit overtuned because the mechanics are not really explained or taught much at all in the game. There are not any normal enemies that require any special consideration as if they are a one trick pony to introduce you to how a mechanic works. If it did that kind of thing, then it would be better. The game doesn't give you the pulse gun either. It has the mini-boss preceding Balteus using it against you. So, unless you were already aware of it from the shop or really understood what the pulse stuff does and how it works, then you'd have no reason to just figure it out through some kind of in-game demonstration. Even if the game did a better job of explaining things, then the boss would still be remarkably difficult. The margin for error is very tight. Too much so for a chapter 1 boss, imo.
@@someguyusa they’ve already explained how to use all the system mechanics they even give you videos on each one...and there are training missions and help section where you can look at them again; it’s up to you to learn how to apply them in each fight, the heli fight should’ve taught you the importance of stagger and assault boosting which are the two biggest factors in balteus; and, I’m almost certain I already had the pulse gun before Balteus and the description of the weapon literally tells you it was designed to take out pulse shields.
@@DBDThePartyProbe The training missions are very brief. The main issue is that there is not a progression of enemies that do one or two of the things leading up to the boss. It's all trash ads, then suddenly a boss that is extremely adept at all mechanics against you. That's a pacing issue.

Just beat him after ~5 total hours of trying between 2 days. Dang! I bought every part, tried everything ... But once I figured it out, dang, amazing.

Gen 3 fans have been waiting 18 years.
That is at least 15 years too long... Hope you are having fun with AC6 now tho! better late than never.
Glad to see you’re having fun fellow Raven. It feels so good have my finger dancing again all over the controller 😊

ikr
I hope more AC games will be released in the future. Many suspect that AC6 is actually a prequel before AC2 even began.

Woooo
Let's go raven!

4:30 lmao
We did it ravens!
Balteus was hard even with duel pulse guns.

You played older AC games and you think Belteus is too hard... hmm... either you're just salty or you're lying.
