Will i be able to enjoy AC6? Hesitant about buying.

[Setharial]

As someone that has never really played a souls like game but loves mech games (usually just tactics/strategy ones though) will i be able to enjoy AC6?

I have no problem with punishing games or having to sit through and learn boss fights/enemy patterns. I used to raid in MMO's so there's probably some similarity?

It's sick, bro, try it for an hour and thirty minutes and if you don't like it, ditch it.

Just search up Balteus fight on Youtube, it will give you enough info to decide
But generally speaking, if you like fast action game, you might like this

If you are fine with learning boss mechanics, then yes, you'll enjoy this game. Boss fights in these games aren't going to be like MMOs where you have a lot of time to prepare and position correctly. This is like split second decision stuff that will end you with a single hit or combo if caught unaware.

But if you like mech games and have the patience to learn boss fights, I say give it a try. Worst case scenario, you can refund it if it's not your thing.

Do you like frustrating boss fights? The first two hours aren't representative at all.

Every single game on steam is a "free" Demo.
Buy it, play it for an hour and 50 minutes.
Don't like it? Just refund it.
I have done this literally, Hundreds of times. Most people should be doing this.

Coming from someone who didn't soul-like game, it pretty fun game. But yeah, got myself beat up many times. lol

You just didn't play well, that's why they were frustrating fights.

You'd probably be able to enjoy everything except the boss fights which are a punishing, boring,bullet-sponge fest that make you spend 15 minutes to defeat them, during which a single mistake will probably destroy your attempt. It's only been getting worse.

I've been fighting a boss just now that, even when made vulnerable, using the hardest hitting bazookas and missiles I own, probably takes 1/20th of it's hitpoints from a full alpha strike. It's abysmal. Buy the game on sale and maybe pray someone can mod the dark souls out of it.

If you prefer strategy games, AC6 might be a shock for you. If you are used to playing moderate to high-speed action games, you'll feel at home.

Miyazaki is literally a masochist and designs games for other masochists. You can pretend nothing is frustrating about the fights if you want, but I don't like them. If this guy doesn't like them he'll regret purchasing the game.

The whole assumption that this has any relation to souls titles is crazy.

Maybe they're not as weak as you - maybe they like a challenge.

I love these games, but it's disingenuous to the conversation to not acknowledge that they have their frustration moments. Miyazaki likes making difficult games, this is true. People love immediately jumping on the "git gud" argument when you are frustrated. They are just trolls trying to get under your skin. Not worth the effort to type a response to.

I can hardly see any value in this game. Play MechWarrior instead. Play this one if you want high dynamic and/or boss fights.
