Why Armored Core 6 is REALLY Important (Despite Its Flaws) 

Despite the issues, ACVI is such a breath of fresh air. It's incredible how much it achieves without showing a single face. The briefings are super stylish and harken that AC4A feeling, and the exchanges/banter between characters is great. It's also one of the games where I can safely say both JP and ENG voices are mostly excellent, unlike a certain DxM where I simply could not bear to play it with English VA more than 2 missions. So, yeah, I'm definitely celebrating what clearly is my GOTY for bringing a genre/era back from the dead, being complete out of the box and more, so much more. Time to fly high on Raven's wings!

N-no don't takeover my device, look here's a comment, now leave me alone.

This games release actually puts tears in my eyes. I’ve played these games since I was a baby with my father since ps1 days and so much time has passed and my dad is passed now but armored core 6 makes me feel that much closer to him and my child hood.. I’m so greatfuk to fromsoftware for this game it’s perfect for me

I love how no character had a "Human" face, and if you saw them in game, you saw their AC's emoting what the pilot was feeling. Leaving their true identities a secret. We dont have to know what Rusty looks like to know hes a hell of a pilot for example.

I really appreciate FromSoftware returning to this series. It may be different but it’s a damn good game no question. I’ll continue to chase the clouds over Rubicon💯

"I guess shotguns arent as useless anymore" has GOT to be the biggest understatement of 2023 tho, got me real good xD

If From Software can, they could bring back Kings Field as a 1st person game with modern soul setting and still succeed. I, for one, welcome more Armored Cores in the future.

Honestly brings me a lot of joy to see folks going "I don't like all the design decisions here, but credit where it's due this is still really good."

Well if Fromsoft follows the traditional release structure then there should be more armored core next year or the year after that

I’m confident Fromsoft can bring the build complexity back now that they’ve so successfully nailed the feel of combat. I can’t wait to see where they take the series next!

The main menu theme is actually called "New Era", can't imagine any reason other than it being a new era for the AC series haha. FromSoft is such a legend. Holy shit.

Minor balance issues aside the game is an absolute masterpiece in my eyes. I only dabbled in a bit of AC when I was young and wasn't expecting much, AC6 blew me away. Its easily joined one of my all time great games.

The fact that this game hit the actual ground running as a first full return is a damn good thing. I just hope that after Elden Ring DLC they fully lean in hard on their mecha style once more.

While I wish the weapon handling was more like Last Raven (Weapons for the Arms, Back, Hangar Bays, Shoulder Extensions, and Inside Extensions), I still love what ACVI is and what it achieves. The focus on close ranged combat and staggering enemies is different from what I'm used to (for some point of reference, I'm used to 3rd Gen Armored Core in terms of everything), but the feel of piloting a 10 to 15 meter tall giant mecha and overcoming overwhelming odds is still there in 6th Gen AC as it was in previous AC generations. Also the fact that recoiling and charged weapons make it so where bipeds have to stop and there's no OS tuning to remove this is gonna take some getting used to compared to the OG Human PLUS upgrade from 1st and 2nd Gen as well as the OP-INTENSIFY upgrade in Early 3rd Gen.

I love the attitude you bring to this game and the community keep up the good work. And Silver Ravens Rule!

They made this game just feel so damn good to play. From the moment you gain control of the mech in the tutorial all the way to the end of NG++, it just feels so satisfying to zip around and blow shit up.

This game is flawless in my opinion. If they made 5 more of these with the only differences being new stories, missions, arena fights, weapons and mechs id be ecstatic.

if AC6 revives the mech genre and we see MechWarrior 6 as a downstream effect of it, that'll be amazing. It's a long shot tho.

There were 9 of us. Now there are dozens!

Melee weapons are what we always wanted IMO. I also kind of get why they limited lock on range. I would like to try a sniper build but long range fighting isn't as engaging and fun. The Zimmerman hitting as hard as a bazooka doesn't quite feel right but it's fun, and balance takes time.

I got into the series shortly before 6's proper announcement (it had only be known about via rumors and heavily watermarked screenshots of at the time dubious credibility) so when it was finally revealed it felt like I had willed it into existence in some way. I hope AC is back for good and that we get a dlc or sequel game down the line because I'm already itching for more after doing all there is to do.

I don't have rose-tinted glasses for the series as I only got into it with the announcement of 6. I've played every game besides Another Age, Ninebreaker, FF, V and Verdict Day. I feel as if 6 has way more in common with the PS1/2 era of Armored Core than the stuff that came after- Maybe not in gameplay nuances but in atmosphere and visuals. Kawamori came back for art and the old sci-fi grunge is comparable to Gen 1 and 3. We have a full-fledged arena full of personality and NG++ is the most Last Raven piece of AC media since Last Raven- It's delightful. The story of 6 is also very unique in its own right, setting it apart from the others. The true crime in AC6 is how meaningless OS tuning is, and how there are only two quads, three RJs and three tank legs in the game- Not to mention the lack of weapon arms. Loved the game- But I hope an expansion or sequel can work on that.

Makes me so happy to see this game doing so well after 10 years since the last game! Sure some things were lost but at the same time some things were gained in this iteration. Overall really love it and the more I play it the more it's moving on up there as one of my favorite AC games. Main gripe really is just assault rifles not really doing so well cuz I loved using assault rifles since 4. Still some weapons tho definitely got upgraded here like you said, love the melee weapon options

You've said everything, that's why imo FromSoft are the best. I absolutely love this game, I love seeing people who never touched any AC entry playing AC6, and more than everything, I love how FS gives lessons to the gaming industry with every game they release.

I really hope that this gets a proper story expansion, with co-op mode, bounty full of new AC parts and new gameplay modes.

A lot of this game definitely feels like a foundation to be built upon...and it's a damn good foundation at that. One can only imagine how FromSoft will further iterate for this generation of Armored Core.

It's important because it is a return to form. No live service, no micro transactions, no difficulty sliders, no day 1 patches, just a video game in its purest form. Fun, complete, and stable.

Great video, 6 wouldn't be an Armored Core game if it didn't have some obvious issues but we still love it despite of it lol. While I'm not as positive as you this will bring a sea of new mecha games I do still hope you are right that will happen and we get to see true weighty mecha gameplay come back in style outside of AC and Mechwarrior. However I dunno if I exactly agree with the garage being de-emphasized, I honestly think the game did a good job at bringing attention to parts that were usually obvious decisions before, biggest example being generator and boosters which in most of the older games there was the obvious choice and then everything else but in 6 what you want to worry about from energy weapon damage, regular energy refill vs letting it go all red etc for generators or focusing on top regular speed, wanting to quick boost or assault boost a lot etc for boosters gave those part types more meaningful decisions than they had before, the new stats for the arms also made me look at them in a way I didn't before. There certain parts that feel lacking like weapon power balancing feeling a bit uneven atm, FCS not being as impactful as it should or leg parts, while not having many redundant parts, also lacking in choices especially for legs that aren't bipedal but I think outside of the first "done from scratch" game of the gen part selection it did a good job at making at least me check the garage often (when it came to them having impact on your playstyle, the campaign has early easy solutions especially in the weapon selection if you just want to complete the game but some of the older ACs had that issue too). 100% agree on the game having a more focused close range engagement, which arguably helped with making PvE more exciting and focused but we did lose that choice of range of engagement in the process, there's still some weapon that can fight well in 300-500m ranges for certain PvE scenarios like plasma and explosive weapons but it's hard to make those work in PvP due their slow projectile speed and assault boost being so powerful (+ no true sniper weapon) so at least in the current patch it does feel like tactical mid/long range chip isn't much of an option even after the rifle buffs. But you really hit the nail with how much of a cultural impact 6 has had and what that means for the series. People are clinging to it and still playing which means we will at least get a SL/FA/VD style expansion down the line alongside patches/updates and hopefully it will mean that from soft will work on the series more often in the future, who knows maybe even do unrelated new series inspired by it like it happened with souls (or hell just go back to their other mecha series). But as for me rn I'm glad I have a new AC I really like and am still playing even when moving on to other games: slowly doing S ranks, do dumb PvP builds I don't think will work but end being more effective than I thought, try missions with said new build for fun or just go beat up ring freddie for the millionth time. Feels good.

While it is very much in the old armored core formula, i cant explain why this one feels like the perfect balance of sticking to its roots and being modernized. I think its just the game feels so good to play, animations are incredible, combat is fluid. Most of all I think the mission design and enemy encounters are such a huge step up from previous titles, and that makes it really engaging for me.

As a veteran I have to say... This game is great. All the changes to the game were made with one purpose in mind: to make game fun. And let's be honest here. It is. It's extremely fun. It plays completly different than most other games but that's the point. Armored Core games were always different from the competition. Focusing more on close range combat makes you way more aggressive, your mind start racing at Mach 3 speed and everything become a second nature in absolutely no time if you let it go into you. It's frantic, it's fast, it's aggressive and it's awesome. It's a spectacular in it's own way. DMC games do it as well, but you don't need five arms, three controllers and set of tentacles to do something cool. No offense here of course. It's still an owesome franchise. Yes, there is a lot of numbers to compare, assembly is the most important part of the game but... Here is the thing. It doesn't fall into the same trap as Monster Hunter falls into: everything is set in stone. There is no additional jewels to slot into your parts (I know OS chips exist, but it's an honest and straightforward upgrade) , you don't upgrade individual parts every half an hour, there is no griding for 0,0001% chance to get a weapon or part. Seeing game comming out. So polished, so focused on doing one thing right is a miracle these days. FromSoftware really understand what drive players and let's pray it will stay that way. I don't care what game they will release next. I'm going to buy it. And if they will need time to polish it? Take it. I won't be mad at all. I know these guys can overdeliver.

• Can run on potato device • The voice acting is really colorful • Crisp sound effect

Armored Core 6 has reignited my inspiration for making mechs models and animating them more than ever. Since Ac is the first mech related game that i was exposed to, it helped me in my journey of becoming an engineer and hopefully making an animated series with mechs. I felt proud as someone who loves mech and machine in general, am still able to retain the drive and motivation to like machine and mechs. So yea, ac6 is something that will leave a mark in my life just like the whole ac series and other mechs related stuff. And keep doing your best Silver

To be honest the changes in AC6 reminds me of how much AC4 changed compared to previous games AC generations.

I completely agree. Every Armored Core up to and including 6 has been different from the last. I'm fine with the changes made to AC6, even if they aren't all exactly what I'd hoped. I've been saying since this game was announced that if this game is successful (and it has been) it might pave the way for all sorts of new mech games. I seriously can't wait for all the Core-likes.

Something newer people to the franchise may not know/people may forget: the first numbered title usually isn’t the most robust and balanced. While we don’t know if AC6 will get an expansion DLC or AC6: New Subtitle entry, it’s usually the follow up that fully realizes the vision. Keep the criticism coming, because it could very well impact what comes next.

I do think an important thing to note is that this is an AC game from scratch, one that while definitely has more budget behind it than any Armored Core before it, also doesn't have near the budget of something like Elden Ring. It is naturally a smaller title with a bit of reservation since AC was on it's way out when AC5 came out anyway. AC6 is the beginning of a new AC generation, and you can bet Fromsoft is gonna reuse nearly every part from this game in the next game, or otherwise DLC could be big and add tons of extra parts. Everything in the current game is significant, at the very least, which you couldn't always say about the earlier games.

I can't stand how some people are acting like this is the bane of everything ac and the worst ac game just because it's different when every ac game is different than the last. This is the best it's ever been and alot of people are lying to themselves and have rose tinted glasses on. 3 doesn't play like 4 and 4 doesn't play like 5 and so on. 6 is an amalgamation of everything from the previous games and is thus the best parts of all of them. People complaining are more than welcome to keep playing the older games if they hate 6 so much, I love 6 so much and it's made me want to go back and play 4a but I can't. Still tho 6 is everything I thought it'd be and more, I just hope we get either some dlc or updates that add more to the game because of how fun it is and every ac game and fromsoft game has gotten updated or dlc added to it.

So I havent played an AC game since AC3, but I remember absolutely loving the game (legit I never knew there were more than 4 AC games and when I looked recently and found there to be over 10 I was so confused angry at myself and excited. Then I played AC6 and had the most fun I've had in a while. I am sad the game isnt a bit more long ranged at times, but damn if I don't love me some melee combat. I even ran it back when I played AC3 even though it kinda sucked lol. As much as some people dislike the game, I personally thought it was one of the easier ACs and a ridiculously fun experience. I never played a Souls game because I never found them fun or interesting and I was scared they were gonna make it a Souls-like AC, so glad I was proven mostly wrong. Sure there's some things missing and some things changed arguably for better and some worse, but this game gave me something that I haven't had in a long time in recent gaming. Fun single player experience where I feel amazing playing it. Don't get me wrong something like DMC5, Ace Combat, and some other games did that for a lot of others but with AC6 I have not put the game down even though I've beaten the game about 5 separate times along with S ranking most of the missions. If this is what I have to look forward to in the next ACs, I can not wait to fly again.

I am new to the series starting with Ac3p on the vita. I played it weeks before ac6 and man...AC6 is everything I hoped it would be. Bosses were amazing, legs actually made a difference, weapons felt good and the game was fast. Also the story was so well done I still haven't stopped thinking about it. I honestly don't know how most people feel about the game but for me it's my favorite FS game ever.

This new generation of AC is brilliant. It feels so good to just do shit, let alone kill things. I'm interested to see how its new features, like ACS Overload and the range game are adjusted. Hopefully one day, we get proper snipers, as well as a balanced stagger system. Looking forward to the future!

There are things that may be a bit irksome with the game. The focus on close range and no option to lock the camera behind the AC are the two things that really come to mind. My expectations were blown away. It's easily my favorite story in the series since 4A. And honestly probably one of my favorite stories in gaming since Chrono Trigger and Yakuza 0. I really can't explain how this game. Just... really fired on all cylinders for me. I've always enjoyed AC games. And there's aspects I miss of old AC. But damn, if I'm not just super stoked about this new age of AC

I’m happy because no micro transaction lol

My favorite AC game is one of the more flawed titles in the series, so as much as I'll happily gripe about some of AC6's design decisions, I'll still be here playing it for a good long while. We'll see where things go from here. In the mean time I'm going to keep trying to deepen my understanding of what's in front of us right now.

Goty for me. My only two complaints are the balancing (seems most people agree) and i just feel like the music was kind of disappointing. Could have used some guitar rifs or something lol.

Thanks! WELL SAID GOOD SIR. WELL SAID. I'M 45 YRS OLD...BEEN PLAYING SINCE 96 PS DEMO

Ah AC 6 I'm getting old call back from this game to Last Raven. Inglorious Iguazu is the Evangel of this timeline. V.II Snail is the anti thesis to what Jack-O stood for. And Rusty is the Zinaida of this timeline, the ACE pilot you always hear about all the time when they show up.

I guess the 2020's are a time in my life where I find absolutely PEAK games, just to find out the franchise has been going on for a couple decades. Welp, now I just gotta wait for the next entry... see you guys in another 12 years lol

Im so happy Fromsoft decided to make AC6. It was the game I never knew I wanted. You can probably tell from my pfp, but I love arcade jet games like Project Wingman. They'll always have a special place in my heart, but honestly AC6 is EXACTLY the game I THOUGHT Ace Combat would be. A game where you go fast and kick ass, and most importantly (to me) get to pour hours and hours on customization of your loadouts, paint job, and decals. You FEEL how much of a badass you are, and isnt just lip service. Dont get me wrong, Project Wingman did a good job of this too, Ace Combat 7... sorta. But the difference in how bombastic the gameplay of Armored Core really made me FEEL like and ace pilot. I havent felt this much childlike wonder since first booting up Elden Ring.

i'm glad that Armored Core 6 is a success, but people have to admitted. if it weren't for a FromSoft name and reputation because of all the soulsborne title, it wouldn't make even a fucking ripple in the western gaming community. prior to Armored Core 6 released Gundam EXVSMBON a really really popular title(in japan) get ported to PS4 and it has like ZERO effects on western gaming regarding to mech games, a 2v2 arena fighting mech game that is easy to play and get into. grant EXVSMBON has like even less promotional attempt than Bandai trying to publish and promote AC6(keep this in mind AC6 bandai doesn't really promote this game compare to like DS3 or ER). now bandai where is my god damn PC port of EXVS game?

I've played them all since the PS2 generation 3 was my 1st AC though. 3, Silent Line & Nexus being my favorites. The only ones I've beaten 3 or more times. Then fast forward to AC6, I was hyped it was making a comeback but had extremely low expectations. I just wanted it to be on par with Nexus yet it's the best one since Silent Line. I have complaints but they're all minor except for the LACK OF PARTS. I spoiled that info on purpose shortly after getting the game at launch & was like are you fucking shitting me? But customization is still endless & I can have a bunch of AC's now. I beat it 3 times now, got each of the endings. Have all the data logs but I still need all the combat logs & I still need a few more parts. Everything from the shop has been bought. Normally after 3 times beating a game I'm done with it but I'm not with this. These AC games are endless. I actually bought this blind. All I saw was 1 trailer. It's From Software, you can trust them. Well for the most part. Don't get me started on DS2.

This game is my first Armored Core game, and the first Fromsoft game I've played for over an hour (Dark Souls killed my computer, and I just didn't get Elden Ring). I love the level design and combat in this game, and will be taking inspiration from it for the FPS I'm working on. I particularly like the openness of the levels. I think of this kind of design as "wide linear" level design.

9:27 this. Thank you for pointing this out. It's crazy how 5th-gen is bashed so much just because it wasn't like a power fantasy like For Answer. I think those people who want AC to go back to FA-style gameplay never really appreciated the series for what it actually is. Armored Core has always been about change and adaptation, it was never really about power fantasy. I had to recalibrate my muscle memory when I hopped from 3rd- to 4th-gen, and the same from 4th- to 5th-gen. This is also why I think For Answer is the worst entry point into the series, because it's the outlier. It plays so fast and so differently from other AC games that FromSoft outright hit the brakes and went back to 3rd-gen speed for ACV and Verdict Day. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed both FA and VD, but I'm glad they didn't go back to FA speeds with AC6 and went back to tactical gameplay.

Daemon x Machina, in the corner: "they don't know I'm an amazing mech game released in recent times"

For what it's worth, Things I liked: Combat - The eb and flow is there. Customisation - Simple yet can be decidedly deep with great depth to visual customisation now added. NG+ - A fantastic way to see make a game with varied story. Graphics - Gorgeous, simple. Things I didn't like: Combat range - It's short, no two ways about it. Lack of Customisation Depth - More customisation, side boosters, Over boosters, core units, radiators, hover legs, weapon arms, etc. NG+ - Having to redo missions with only slight variations, it would be nice to have the player re-tread as little ground as practically possible. Mission difficulty consistency - The threat of danger doesn't exist outside of boss battles. All in all it's a fantastic start I hope in the coming DLC's and game series we continue to refine this relaunch of this venerable series because by god it deserves it.

im kind of hoping the next game has a full fledged campaign like AC VI but with a CO-OP feature. NOT The "Halfway coop" like dark souls / Elden ring, I want to see a AC game with proper coop and PVE modes

What flaws? Only things I would’ve liked is a few more ranged options. Few more body parts particularly chest and legs. More tuning and stability options for custom ability. And flares don’t forget the flares

AC6 is a game I've been wanting for a very long time. The mech genre is so underdeveloped, and the clunkiness and obscurity of older games could never satisfy my desire for some crazy anime-ass sci-fi robo action. AC6 has hit closer to that desire than anything else I've seen. It's of course flawed, but it's a massive shot in the arm for a genre that was becoming a bit of a dead shell up until now. I sincerely hope From takes this success and good will and shoots for the stars on the next one. AC6 proved the concept still has so much promise. The way Dark Souls proved the worth of Demon's Souls, AC6 proved the worth of all those games that came before it to a much bigger audience. Now I want to see From give us the AC equivalents of those iconic genre-defining game of the year contenders like Bloodborne, Sekiro and Elden Ring.

With the resurrection of one of gaming Mech/Mecha kings, other titles (even older by comparison have surged). Titanfall the newest member of the genre is still making waves, despite all the negatives they've stirred. Battletech/Mechwarrior have stopped tiptoeing around the grind of the succession wars and are unleashing the clans either as DLC or Standalone. Unfortunately, not all recent mech/mecha style games have have a good record. Front Mission was made into a less than stellar copy-paste of MGS, and sent out to die admist a VERY limited release to push a narrative that the Mecha Genre is "dying," simply so the company could focus on their Final Fantasy franchise. And despite its fame nearly all of the Gundam games released in the last decade has (for some reason or other) strayed far from the elements that made them unique, and have essentially become mecha battleroyale fighters (gone are playable single player campaigns, franchise storytelling, and actual customization (in the case of Build Fighters)). And all of this has players looking back at a genre the industry has (for lack of a better term) abandoned in pursuit of "easy" and "copy-paste" mmorpgs and fps shooters.

When an entire community has unanimously decided that a disembodied female voice in your head is waifu material despite never seeing any hints of their physical appearance, you know FromSoft made something special. But fr though, after waiting for a decade for the next Armored Core game, AC6 has definitely exceeded my expectations in many aspects. And I also think that in the next AC release, they will definitely be adding back some features that were removed with AC6. Personally, I want to bring back the radiators and extensions. And perhaps they could also bring back radar varieties and FCS lock on varieties like the pre-For Answer games, as well as things like radar jamming and such. And of course, more parts! You can never have enough parts lol

I just don’t like people comparing it to souls like game co’z its made by Fromsoft… its completely different genre of a game. Difficulty is always and has been on the formula of AC. I’ve been a fan since 1997 since its first demo. The amount of nostalgia is just hits home.

I'm halfway though new game + I dont know how, but it just keeps getting better 😭

Lol just use a mid-range/ long-range FCS and obliterate your enemies from far Flaws? I thought so too at first, I would say they're more like things you have to adapt to. I would say that you are correct about boss patterns, they predictable, even though they're strong, very strong.. but very easily beaten once you know their move set.

One thing I'm DESPERATE for is an armored core style Gundam game. No more of this fps, turn based strategy stuff, we need a real mech combat game for the Gundam universe

Btw, im on my 5th playthrough and my third liberator ending. Because I DEMAND THIS BE THE CANNON ENDING.

Last one I can name is Titanfall 2, mech isn't all but play a big roll. Though it is ruined by bad company reaction against DDoS and security attack. And it is almost 10 years since. AC6 really bring back the mechs to the AAA system.

Friends of mine say how fast this game is. I tell them that this game is most similar to Armored Core 3 and the faster machines can go well over 450kph on simple boosting and well over 1000 when over boosting. I then point out that in 4 Answer the speed record was over Mach 5. Bruh we are slooooooooooow :). I love this game so much and I am so happy for the attention this game has been getting. Heck I feel that its sci fi setting is even appealing to those who may be put off by Elden Ring or Dark Soul's dark fantasy.

This game proves the thesis that fast mechs need fast turn speed. Although admittedly I think For Answer already proved that slow turning with fast mechs wasn't fun, it's so silly that you QB backwards hundreds of meters instead of just turning to get an enemy back in your sights and it's not believable in-universe by any means. Full camera movement and quick turning is the new standard and as someone who still loves the older generations I'm very happy to accept that.

I have a suspicion that instead of new full releases that can carry over your save data, FromSoft might pull a Capcom Monster Hunter and instead bring new iterations within the "generation" as DLC expansions. I have no idea how that'd actually work in practice - would you be forced to finish the base Fires of Rubicon game at least once before the expansion content or would it just be a different tab under the mission menu? - but I found it an interesting thought.

I remember going through the garage and thinking, "Wait... Where are the sniper rifles!?" I do miss the satisfaction of making a sniper in ACFA and targeting enemies so far away that I couldn't even see them, and sniping them out of existence.

while I'm having less fun in PVP because of how the game is balanced and the inclusion of that stagger mechanic, the story mode incorporates the new mechanics pretty flawlessly and definitely earns AC6 as one of, if not the most satisfying and entertaining AC game yet. I'll still be playing LR pvp with the boys but its alr Plus the animations and designs are literal mecha porn they're so nice to look at

I really liked the close range focus of a lot of AC6 but I'll admit, it did feel bad to put together a really effective long range build and then feel like it was niche beyond usability. That being said, I think there is a lot of potential for DLC to fit that want. New missions or levels that have a focus on range or scale would be just the way to shake up builds and a great excuse to expand the arsenal!

I never even heard of armor core until like literally two days before AC6 released from my coworker. And boy I think it's quickly became one of my favorite games of all time. Never have I known how much I needed something until I received it lol

It is important, becauae it is a single player focused linear vehicle combat game released by a premier AAA studio that is succesful. I doubt it will bring back the golden age of space sims from the 90s, but we will certainly see a few copycats, and thats better than nothing.

As I recall they got rid of some of the harder mechanics to introduce new players. I guarantee you now that they're hooked. They're gonna beg for more and BAM. Bankruptcy here we go for human plus at the beginning baaybee lol.

Armored Core has always been, and always will be, the fast-paced high-octane Gundam franchise the international world always wanted and deserved

As a raven, I loved AC6 It has flaws,Obviously But it's still a masterpiece Can't wait for the sequel or dlc

Love this game so much, I wish I got into this series when I was a kid I even had a ps2, psp and all that but never knew about this series😭😭, definitely going back to play every game like vaati vidya style

I may forget things about fromsoft games in the future, but I'll never forget some of the best bros in gaming history, solair, seigward, blaidd, and of Couse rusty.

I don’t even notice any issues with the game but maybe because I’m a new raven, besides playing the original AC on the original PlayStation. I love this game and hope for more content in the near future.

Never played an AC game, gave this one a go just because I trust fromsoft after all its recent bangers. Now I'm looking into emulating older titles.

I have finished AC6 and going to half S rank now, and i can say is so awesome to see how wholesome the community is, sharing mechs and builds!!! also the final line "Main system, activating combat mode" give chills like the end of master of arena, ive enjoyed everything of AC6 Abide with Rubicon!!!

Can't listen to Rusted Pride without tears welling up in my eyes.

i get why they added repair kits, they made the bosses wildly harder so we “needed” more hp. However, the addition of repair kits makes the fodder enemies; well literally fodder lol. i think thats why alot of people say the normal enemys are silly. armor core used to be about dealing with the bits of chip damage you received during a mission. but now that you can repair 3 times for an incredible amount of AP, being hit by a couple missiles from a guy isnt that bad anymore. Now is this a deal breaker for me? ABSOLUTELY NOT! as said, now we have fucking awesome bosses! and the silly little shits i stomp under my feet without a care in the world is an absolutely delightful power trip in between them! Hear me out, the obvious challenge run is to just do it with no repair kits. but tbh dont even know if i can do that (lookin at you iguazu). but a more approachable challenge for people to try. YOU CAN ONLY USE YOUR REPAIR KITS AFTER A RESUPPLY, AND ONLY IN MISSIONS WITH THEM! this sounds like a pretty easy but still slightly interesting run no? And just use some head canon that, Walter can ship you repair kits before scary bits, but they cost a lot so you cant use them often

I at the very least can think of mech warior 5 and titanfall 2 in semi recent memorie that have been popular games featuring mechs. older there's hawken, and less popular but more recent there have been a few gundam games.

The only thing is we're definitely not getting a pile of games this generation. It's hard to say where DLC is gonna go but my guess is this game was far more work than could be churned out every year like the games in some generations.

I love it I struggled a lot first play through, second one I breezed by and the third I dominated. So fun and challenging

The Ashen One and the Tarnished: *start a new age* Armored Core crawling out of its bed: It's the age metal and machines, sons.

yes it not perfect, but still ..... we embrace those flaws and enjoy it to the fullest....

It's hard to go back to previous titles (especially with the in-game economy)

Armored core 6 is my personal GOTY is a masterpiece without a doubt

This is my Mechassault 3 fire of rubicon. AC6 is soo good Im milking this game like no other

Wow that was great insight as to introducing a new genereation of gamers to not just armored but the mecha game genre as a whole. You just got a sub. If there was one thing that could have made ac6 way better imo is being able to have melee weapons to both arms instead of just the left arm.

I really appreciate the fact that mech games are gonna finally get recognized. So many mech games just never make it west

It may be a relic of older times with limited resources but I really like kind of game: mission driven focused on dialogues and equipment customization. It may be nostalgia since Ace Combat 5 is my favorite singler player game, but still.

This is my favorite from software game and I'm a die hard soulsborne fan including sekiro

It’s my first AC game and I’ve played it for 100+ hours already. It’s too good

AC6 is incredible man. This old dinosaur remembers AC 1, 2 and Kingsfield.

I hit the coral AC(don't remember the actual name.) Been loving every second

6:08 the garage IS the game in AC lol. Missions are just side content. 🥰🥰🥰

You dont even need to watch this video. Its the Giant Anime Robot game we've always wanted.
