Gameplay feels like a PS2 game

[BubbaLovesYa-TTV]

Anyone else get that feeling? I'm not trying to be an edgy hater It hink the game is cool but the auto-lock-on and how floaty it feels reminds me of the PS2 era (gameplay wise, the graphics are fantastic). The UI is really weird and cluttery it feels like half of my screen is covered by HUDS the targetting reticule is especially cumbersome.

I'm not trying to say the game is bad by any means by the way. It's sold extremely well and it's got a really nicely sized playerbase. I'm just curious if anyone else shares a similar sentiment.

Feels good, fast and responsive to me, idk what you're talking about.

i like the quick and smooth gameplay this feels a bit FF7R / Devil may cry (without the combo element) to me? don't like monster hunter / soul / Elder ring style combat.

This is a hilariously silly thing to say given how the PS2 Armored Cores played.

Same. If PS2 games were like this, then hey those were the days, huh?

[Essedus]

Yeah we need more games like Steel Battalion. With a control console the size of a desk like you're controlling a nuclear reactor. That would be so much easier for people.

Well it feels like Armored Core. I think this is fan service well done.

It feels worse. The PS2 and PS1 games had weight and inertia on the cores. In 6 they float around unencumbered by the game world like cheesy Dark Souls characters

u can always build to not have it be floaty idk what to tell u dude

[Gigachump]

Yeah it feels very outdated and bad. The lock on ruins any engagement i might have with the game. The visual noise/clutter that is the HUD is some of the worst game UI since battlefield 2042. regular enemies are a snooze fest and bosses just aren't designed well.

[Bagel]

back in armored core gen 2 you had to aim vertically with the front bumpers. i dont wanna hear this crap. get good.

The mechs feel like they weigh as much as balloons I agree with you there. There's no impact to anything.

• Hitting an actual destructible piece of scenery just sees it pop like a pinata rather than move as if a massive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mech had glided into it
  
• You hit a wall at the speed of light and just slide across it slowly
  
• You hit another mech and just awkwardly slide off of each other
  
• You land from hundreds of metres in the air and just softly thud into the floor

I wish they'd made an effort to make it feel like you're in a giant mech. You may as well just be human sized.

Fully agree I was really surprised how little inertia or physics there was. It felt like you just kinda fly around and nothing weighed anything.

In what dark souls game characters float unencumbered? I swear, you people will say any old nonsense. If you have criticism express it in a valid way, this is just idiot talk. Also, get your rose-tinted glasses off. Go and replay early AC games now. And realize that they are much better in your imagination. AC6 has a very precisely cut movement, it's fantastic. With just the right amount of inertia.

You clearly don't remember PS2 if you think this feels like a PS2 game lmao
