One interesting thing I noticed about the PCA is that they fully rely on their System, and never really give their own intuitions a chance. It’s interesting because this almost always means they fail. If Raven is blowing up their entire fleet the command is like “ya bro hold on a minute gotta ask ChatGPT if I can fight back”
except for that one guy when the tunnel blows up, she asks "what is the system's verdict??" "Proceed as planned" *looks ate coral explosions everywhere "How exactly??" *proceeds to fly away
The strange part about the PCA is just how much more formidable they are than the corporate forces. They have better gear, discipline, tactics and strategies all around. Even the rank and file can threaten you with a good hit if you're not treating them with the same respect you would with an AC. The only thing holding the PCA back is their reliance on an AI to direct them. A shame really, I liked their presence as an antagonistic force.
My headcanon is that they’re highly bureaucratic and burdened by expectations from people unfamiliar with the situation. I think the System is probably set up as a cost cutting measure for what they thought was a long-term job of guarding a dead planet - instead the Coral regrows and the government’s only response is to throw the suppression fleet at it without actually replacing the leadership
Thank you for doing this, I've been replying the game in a dozen different ways just trying to find something I may have missed. This saves me from repeating certain fights till I hate them and I really don't want to hate any part of this game.
"Hmmmm... Guess your System didn't send you guys the full footage of me completely soloing your fleet with minimum effort. You guys still want to try me? I welcome it, of course, but be ready to face the result."
I'd love it if they'd patch in co-op (like ACFA had). Or even if they make an ACVI-2 if they include it there. Love these videos Grey, you're making some awesome stuff here.
I’m still addicted to this game so thank you for giving me more content, you got vaatividya commenting too. Nice job man. Anyone knows if anything happens If you shoot the ice worm with the stun needle in this mission?
Thanks, I haven't really tried(it moves so fast and I didn't see anything in my text datamine), but you'd still need RaD's railgun to even damage it, unfortunately.
@@GreyCaliberah ok i was just always curious if there was some new dialogue if you manage to hit it, it is prob annoying to land the hit in this mission.
He’s not in the battle any more, so I assume he has no dialogue because he’s not there to even see the damn thing. He only hears about it in the after-action debrief
Really, really glad someone is showcasing all of this unique dialogue. It's amazing how many different ways there are to experience these moments. BTW Grey, we're working on a mindmap document to compile all of the unique dialogue in the game. Let me know if you'd like to be involved :)
Grey deserves the recognition for all these wonderful videos, this is very cool to see! PS edit: It would be great to see you both work together, and I am looking forward to a lore video soon Vaati, the narrative of AC6 really has a surprising amount of thematic and character substance on offer!
“Strange bedfellows.” “Just means the corps can’t afford to choose.” This is the sorta dialogue that makes me love the PCA. They’re like space cops, and they’re led by an A.I somewhere? I love it, I want more of the PCA.
Some of the PCA dialogue is interesting towards the player. Since it's not actually meant for you but the Prior owner of the title "Raven" and the PCA thinks you are that Raven.
Something I never really thought about before is how faceless all of the PCA members you fight are. For any other faction, these guys would have their own callsigns, lore, identities, etc. However, by taking orders from an AI, they've accepted a fate to be simple parts of a greater machine. No will, no pride, no glory. Just a tool to be used until you're broken. God I love this game.
No, the PCA struck a bad deal with Geico that's pretty extortionate. They say "insurance" because it hardly covers anything, but since they don't need to worry about losing their Mechs, they won't have to wrangle with Geico liaisons.
They trust their system to be always right. But maybe the truth is that nature and strong human spirit cannot be fully anticipated even by a sophisticated artificial intelligence system..
