Miss the days of AC3
Long gone are the glorious days of AC3 where leg mobility made a difference and boost was not a feature you left on. It required much more micro management, and how fast your legs moved made an actual difference.

the appropriate time to complain about this was 16 years ago when armored core 4 released

Cool. Go play AC 3 then.

You mean like turn speed? Yeah once they decided to have some AC4 in AC6 turn speed became obsolete.

You want to micro manage? QB in a light weight and have different reload speeds across all your weapons and have some that can charge. There an annoying micromanagement set-up.

I am playing a light weight and mobility makes a difference. I do miss me some AC3 though really hard to beat the howitzer.

and indeed, you can still just play armored core 3 if you want that style. in fact they made a little under a dozen games of that gameplay style, with only relatively mild changes between them. those games aren't going anywhere. just play them eternally and ignore this if you think the series has gone bad. i do that with a lot of series i like that got ruined by newer entries. this isn't one of those cases though.

As I said before AC6 release... the more AC6 will "disappoint" fans of previous AC games, the better.

Why?

Because it gives additional life for old games!

Feel free to go and replay all of them as much as you want.

Old gaming for life.

Yes, I always freaking hated the casual mindset of gamers for whom "only latest game matter". Screw them.

...All that "micromanagement" was rendered useless by boost hop spam shaking off the enemy's aim.

I miss the days of sticks and stone. You needed much more micromanagement to build a computer out of rocks and play your vidja games.

Not this dumbed down crap where we just go buy computers from the store.

I think it has the correct balance. It's clearly faster than AC3, but it's still not insanely fast that it becomes Gundam. Speed is appropriate considering level size too.

Can't. Don't be bitter that you weren't there for the good days.

I'm not disappointed. I enjoy the game just fine. It has its own appeal. Unlike some other fans who happen to be toxic, I evaluate each piece of media I enjoy on its own merits. Like Star Wars, for example.

This was more a post to see if anyone else felt the same.

Where did I complain? Oh right, I didn't. Stop projecting, please.
