The worst "Armored Core"

[C03]

AC6 is a great game. Personally, it's on the bottom tier on the Armored Core series.

Appealing to general public or most souls fan, which helped with sales- but really lost the charm of mech-sim like game, which is a genre that's now nearly extinct.

If there is AC7, I hope it's not Gundam clone.

AC6 is not pure Armored Core game but AC gameplay always been gundam like not mech warrior like wonder what is charm of mech-sim like game mean

"Armored Souls" summarized this for me; fun, but not Armored Core. We peaked at 4 and 4A, in my opinion.

i definitely see where you're coming from. (The only AC game I had played prior was 4A, which I absolutely loved) It has always seemed to me that each AC generation has had significantly different gameplay loops from eachother, both because of advancing technology as well as different takes at game design. While i dislike the fact that 90% of combat is built around the stagger/acs stablility system, i think the rest of the game is golden. I guess at the end of the day it really just comes down to preference.

I remember playing AC2 back on PS2 and thinking 'this is like mechs but more realistic' compared to things like Gundam & Transformers. The ACs were pretty earth bound and tank ACs felt slower while zippy ACs felt paper thin. I mostly played VS mode with my friend who owned the game & it was like a fighter game but with guns (?) but not like Golden Eye or CoD/CS.

I owned AC3 but I didn't get to sink much time into it & had no one to play VS with. It felt like the same game as AC2 but the ACs & settings were becoming more futuristic.

AC6 feels like it's set thousands of years after AC2. Everything feels nostalgic but very much in a more advanced/futuristic setting. I don't really have any Steam friends who own the game to play VS against and I don't really care about fighting random strangers online so I am just sticking to the Story (currently on NG+) but I am enjoying the game.

Cool

i personally thought it was the best but i've only played for answer and verdict day before this one

How soon we forget how AC5 had parts limits on your garage to entice more grind and other fever dream nonsense.

I've liked the whole run from PS1 to now and the only one that I never bothered finishing was 5.

yeah, the "The expansion is good though" version of 5.

Casandra truths was telling people calling 4 "Too fast flying anime gundam ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" that the """pvp crowd""" will be begging for PvP to be as skybox hugger favored as possible in the lead up to 6's launch.

I say that as a guy who loves the 4 series. "Oh boy, shotguns don't suck this time in 6 because I'm not fighting nothing but drag racers or permaplanes! Oh boy, heavy builds can assault boost real good with the super heavy thruster! My top build won't be a stick figure light with a pair of energy weapons and back explosives because anything slower gets the paint scratched costing me the S rank!... oh no, the usual suspects are screaming about that"

I disagree i think its one of the best games in the Armored Core series

[C03]

I'm going to assume that even AC6 fan would become the same when AC7 ever releases

Welcome, fellow "I started with phantasma" insane pilot.

May you forever wonder "what was the big deal about that nineball chump, just another target" and wish more of your enemies scream "I'm dying??????????!" in confusion as they explode.
