This review kinda makes sense, what is your opinion?

[Slicer]

True, none of us have played the game, but still:

From Gameblog.fr:

The post-Elden Ring era was going to be difficult, that much was certain. FromSoftware's work on Armored Core 6 is bound to be compared to that of GOTY 2021, and unfortunately it pales into insignificance. At no point do you get a sense of the studio's maturity or expertise. Armored Core 6 could have been anyone's game. A messy title, not very pretty and very repetitive. A game with an archaic, old-fashioned structure that leaves no room for immersion and doesn't even seem to want to draw the player into its world. Fortunately, the gameplay is fun, the sensations are pretty good and some sequences stand out from the crowd. Not to mention the incredible customisation of our mechas, which is sure to delight fans and the big kids in all of us. But does that really justify throwing yourself into the game? I'm not sure. =

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crap, it's ♥♥♥♥ like this that hammers the score, could have gotten 90 easily.
And immersion, really?

None of the Souls games are immersive, they are pure games, not simulators.

EDIT: I like how even he admits the game is fun and customization is great but still muh immersion cuts down 30 points LOL.

gameblog, what's next jeuxvideo.com? the french websites are mostly trash, but you found one of the worst offender. Yet they will give only praise to CoD and Fifa every year

87 (currently on metacritic) is still a very good score. I never expected this game to get 90+ tbh. Its not something genre defining like Elden Ring was. Plus it apparently has a weak story as Ive heared from multiple reviews now. In a game like this story is a bit more important to keep people interested. I personally cant wait to play though.

How is a wall of text that barely comes up to my knee enough for a review? Is this what passes as reviews these days?

Yeah, but it's dragged down by stupid reviews like this.

But oh well, at least we know what they write to ignore the frankly bad opinions.

Each to their own, but for me any review for AC that opens with immediately comparing it to the developers other titles, I just turn off. Thats not a good review in my opinion, because it tells me the reviewer has gone in with unrealistic expectations to begin with if their expectation is to experience something similar to Elden Ring.

Currently the 2 neutral who complain about muh not Souls enough dragging down the overall score.

We are seeing Fromsoftware become a victim of their own success. The Toxic souls community that people warned about are now biting the hand that feeds it. Many of the critics and content makers have made their money being souls people.

No souls games means no authority to garner clicks. So rather than judge the AC6 for what it is they whip out concerns that souls games never address. I can't remember any souls game that had a clear plot and narrative. "Archaic and old Fashioned", compared to what?

What is this critic basing their statement on. What is the other mech title defining the genre that Fromsoftware is falling behind? A lack of immersion in a Fromsoftware game? That is new? Elden Ring's crown was earned on choices you could make in following the map. There isn't any story behind which ever class you pick that explicitly told to you. Being a Hero or a Samurai doesn't give you different story elements or beats. Where is this critic puling this out of? The answer can only be personal bias.

Critics like this are what hold gaming back because they are attempting to force the hand of the publisher into sequalitis. This same critic will ask for the same game over and over again till they some day complain that the formula is "generic". Fan Boys continue to be problematic.

Dark souls fans are not to blame that From made a painting by numbers game with a 10hr long campaign.

What other games are similar to this?

[Bwoink ⭕⃤]

The reviewer seems to have little experience or knowledge of any fromsoft game therefore I’d take this review with a grain of salt.

[REhorror]

Some posters said that people are going to disappointed knowing this isn't Dark Souls and now I'm seeing that IRL LOL.

There is nothing bold here that makes a From game special they just copy pasted the old AC game formula, game is a side project.

Same can be said about Elden Ring tbh... (and I did dig the Souls Series)
