Ibis does not belong in this game

[Holy D. Ingus]

Hello,
I just wanted to rant about Ibis and how I hate this boss fight.

I wanted to play Armored Core, but FromSoft decided that they want me to play Armored Souls. I don't want to memorize every single move that the boss has.

What I loved about this game was that the bosses either had the same abilities as you (same weapons, the ability to heal) or were just simple to understand concepts (You generally understand what they are capable of just by looking at them.)

But then we got Robo Malenia over here, who says ♥♥♥♥ THAT, Imma fly around the arena like crazy, so that your melee options are useless and I'm gonna dodge every single projectile that you throw at me. AND SHE HAS A SECOND PHASE.

I only beat her because the RNGesus was on my side today and her AI decided to use the move where she descends and stays on the ground a lot. So I did win, but the only thing that I felt was despair.

That single boss soured my experience with this game. If I'll ever go for NG+ - I'll just turn on WeMod and skip that level. I hate it

Thank you for reading my rant. And before all of you guys leave your very funny replies I'll say it first.

Skill Issue

TL;DR I believe that Ibis does not belong in AC.



Update: I take my words back. I was just being a dumbass and burned myself out because of me not wanting to take a break from the game.

This post sorta helped me realize that.

Thank you to everyone for your comments, positive and negative. I'm making this update, because I don't know how to close a thread on steam

Keep on keeping on!

Just slap on dual zim and dual LCS, if you pay attention to animations and stay aggressive it's a doable fight. Hard yes but nut bs or impossible or unfair. I doubt I even used the best possible or easiest setup.

It is armored souls, those are poor comparisons.

no sniper rifles,
no internal parts,
no optional parts,
No bio sensor, no organic enemies

Most of the stats and utility systems are gone, Masters of Arena is poor choice considering AI gets confused in black fog and most player load outs are OP, finger gun etc.

Last raven tends to have issues with schitzo balance, some things are too effective heat, others are not effective at all most heavy parts.

Nineball Seraph is a bonus mission after campaign completion and is more of a training room than anything.


It is armored souls, both in its design, the fact melee has glory kills and the fact that you cannot replace your arms with Giant cannons.

This was supposed to be 1989 movie Gunhed, not gun-dumb.

Thinking Bio sensors were make or break is the sort of thing a pilot not cheap-I mean... experienced enough to bring rockets instead of missiles would think!

Talk trash about the fact we don't even have internal map systems on our AC heads even though we still get to pause the game.

Sure, we don't have a bunch of nearly identical hallways anymore to make it a useful feature. But it had more effort put into it than "can your FCS lock target organics/yes no"

I do miss gun arms as a concept, but I also don't miss them because the AI benefits from them more than the player does anyways.

Every time people get mad about AC6 systems that are not "ranges weapons don't deflect is too short on basically everything" end of things, I think about how the people most mad about stagger meters wish we had to shop around for radiators again.

could be worse. You know what is more eye rolling than people who called AC4 too fast gundam garbage then 180 turning to cry like children any time anything but sky builds get to have fun in 6?

People who thought balance fins in 4 were deep. almost enough to make me miss radiator shopping... almost.

Gunhed is a swiss army knife of smart weapons, cameras, redundancy systems and failsafes.

If you aren't into deciding which nuclear fallout hepa filter you want then you are not manly enough to build a piece of 80's military equipment.

Literal skill issue. All old games had bosses in this style and AC/NEXTS fights too, you're just bad

[Kain]

Ibis is fine, still hate that boss, but it's there for a purpose, to show how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ OP coral is as a source of energy and why companies destroy themselves for it.

Go back to counter strike.

Just do as I do and say gitgud anyway despite being awful at the game.

Any sort of boss difficulties you may have is a call to reshuffle your build.

Rapid-quick bosses like Ibis: Etsujins + Orbiters and a lot of close range dodges.

Heavy stun-resistant bosses like Cleaners\Cataphracts and roly-polies + AI weapons: Nightsongs + close range punishers like Butta.

[Vile-Pile]

sounds like a skill issue, idk man. I'm a newcomer to AC stuff and I beat her maybe, 10th try? And I used the god-awful bile-punker and I didn't know about expansions yet. Just use a fast AC, dodge her fairly telegraphed moves, and hit her, not that crazy, even though it is hard.

skill issue, recommend getting good

Well, the the OP has long since already killed Iblis. But I'm sure you still feel like you accomplished something here today saying that.
