I thoroughly enjoyed the game, even while skipping every mission briefing and shit. I just wanted to get in there and BREAK SOME SHIT, and I was rewarded for mashing tab to skip the dialogue. 😂😂😂 I gotta say, I found a lot of the dialogue the typical type of cringe common to a lot of Japanese games, but that just made it even more fun to me as I clobbered Iguazu OVER AND OVER AGAIN 😂
Also that without armored core specifically 4 and 4answer, Miyazaki would not have had the experience in making Demon Souls. A lot of elements like 3rd person camera and lock on were based on armored core. Demons souls was originally supposed to be nothing more than a rebooted Kingsfield game made as a cash grab for Sony in order to have an Elder Scrolls Oblivion clone.
@@j0k3r84lol he doesn't even said anything about difficulty why the heck do you even mentioned LR? Boss design in Demon souls and subsequently later fromsoft game was definitely inspired from 4 and 4a with their telegraphed and easy to read attack. (Although in 4 and 4a instead of wind ups you just see the missile and cannon firing in the distance, there's still plenty of room to dodge/quick boost out of enemies attack, unlike 3rd gen and before where you really just go fast and going all over the place so enemies' lock on can't keep up.)
It's kind of impressive how easily some people get confused by things. The plot of this game was very easy to follow compared to From Software's more recent games. I think it says a lot about this guy's intelligence (or lack thereof) that he got confused by it.
This is a perfect example of someone that doesn't know the difference between "I don't like it" and "This is bad". Between personal opinion, and actual quality. This game clearly does everything From wanted it to. And I love it, because it does everything I want it to. They took parts from every single previous AC game, tossed a bit of Souls in for spice, and cooked it to perfection. If that isn't a masterpiece, I don't know what is.
It's as frustrating to new AC gamers as AC1 was to us that played it at the time. There's no hand holding. You are thrown into a training room and you figure it out from there. That's why it had a strong niche following that was dedicated to the series. You have to adapt and overcome to get threw these games.
@@paytonestrada7746In AC6 I just go tank with the Miniguns and obliterate everything, struggled a bit with balteus but that was before I got the miniguns. Didn't do chapter 5 yet but 2-4 get owned by heavy tanks
@@WatcherMovie008 AC1 has arms that are just dual weapons. Not sure what you are trying here loser. You would know if you played more than the first mission.
It is? My only problem was my first 2 hours stacking armor like it was MechWarrior, only to use the in game detail tool to realize parts had so many features better than dumb armor. This next bit is just a AC noob excitedly listing off thangs old fans know like a child who just discovered something new, feel free to skip unless you just want to laugh at the aforementioned childish delight- Like the core making so my thrusters don't crap out every 3 seconds and make the engine cool better so I can stay airborne longer if I time bursts of jump right. Only trade off is I stager easier and less engine power overall, BUT I wound up way faster and harder to hit due to how much more often I could quick boost so I died less.
Honestly, these are the reviews I was worried about the most - traditionally these have been the kinds of reviews given by ALL major outlets for Armored Core games. They just don't understand the mecha fantasy, quite frankly. With AC6 reviewing so high, I would bet we will definitely see a "mid-generation" game now (AC2:AA, AC:SL, AC4A, ACVD) in a year or two. The future of the series is definitely secure now, getting the public recognition it finally deserves and sitting at a stable 87 on metacritic. Enough to make reviews like these seem like the nonsense they are.
As being new to the armor core series (but not to mech games), and having played games like elden ring and bloodborn, i can safely say it feels nice zooming around at high speeds feeling like a one man army
@@diswanlain5346 thats cool. im zooming around, losing lockons. getting 2 hit killed by bosses. always running out of energy, dodging half a second after a tap quick boost. the game isn't fun. it actively wants you to stop playing it. so i did.
I am sooooo happy they made a game focused on gameplay feel verus trying too hard to write story. Do folks realize movies exist? If you like those, wait until you try reading a good book! To busy? Folks with nice voices will literally read them to you anytime anywhere. You know what we didn't have until now? THIS. Hands down the fastest, smoothest, tightest action game i can recall ever playing. Jumping and ice skating around while throwing missles and diving in for melee. In and out. In and out. So complex yet so simple 😊
I did not mean to suggest the story sucked, but I can see that being inferred. I love the military government corporation vibe. It might be a little cliche for sci fi... but the whole augmented human basically being human scraps.. the idea that even with all that tech and AI available, the human desire to survive beats all... its a cute spin
my favorite part is that he claims that he understands that the game isnt supposed to be like souls, and then repeatedly complains about the things that it doesnt have that souls games do have. 😂😅
One of the weird things is that there is lore in the equipment descriptions. Like how all the parts of your starter mech are developed by a faction you encounter and do jobs for later in the game. And there’s actually a reason for that. So that stuff is still in the game just like souls fans seem to like. Yet some claim it’s not.
He didn't realize you can find info logs containing lore and that there's lore about the arena pilots, do you really think he read the parts descriptions? If he can even read I mean
The guy at Xboxera seems like a troll plain and simple. He tries to compare it to Dark Souls when it's not even a Dark Souls game. Let the guy have his one review and one dead brain cell.
"I'm going to review this burger. But I don't like pickles, tomatoes and lettuce so I'mma remove that." "This burger is bad. There's nothing in other than the sauce, patty and the bun." Geezus fking christ.
Me too man. DS and ER are actually incredibly easy once you get the hang of the I frame dodges but AC you have to read an attack pattern and adjust movement at the right time or dodge through a brief opening in the attack in order to effectively dodge the attack and it feels SO MUCH MORE REWARDING when you are playing well. Having to analyze the fight and figure out correct movements and timings feels more impactful than just tapping a roll button any time anything is about to hit you. I wish more games moving forwards would be built off this dynamic.
I mean, I've always considered Souls games to be Core like fantasy games. I'm not an original Raven, I started with AC3, the true originals were with the franchise from the start. However, FromSoft has always prided themselves on making challenging games that gamers will enjoy. Learning and applying the mechanics of the game has always been a core design aspect of their games. I was a little sad when they abandoned Armored Core for Dark Souls, but it was a reasonable decision for the studio at the time. I liked Chrome Hounds, it felt like a prequel to AC, but it fell flat on it's face commercially. The era of mecha had to go on hiatus. Now that it's back, it's fresh, and I'm happy to see that many are trying the genre and enjoying it. Hopefully this is the beginning of the term "Core like", I'm looking forward to the creativity developers can muster when they decide to compete with the title. A Core like Muv-Luv game would be great, since the art direction is already inspired putting the player in the "cockpit" could actually extend the appeal of an equally dark franchise beyond the current fan base. It's a franchise that never should have settled for being a dating simulator.
Ooooooh my fucking goodness yes. I'm excited for armored core-likes / ripoffs left and right. I'm here for the mecha tidal wave, baby! It's been too long.
People tend to get put off by the title. While i agree it does sound a bit misleading at first, but i think it's good to expose these bias journalists who harms the reputation of a really amazing game that deserves to be mainstream. Not just a niche mech game. We need videogame variety. Tired of seeing call of duty and other repetitive cash grab games filled with microtransactions.
@@joshprimegaming i know your title is pretty straightforward already, but people just see the armored core is boring and frustrating part. Most don't pay attention to quotation marks. So maybe something like" this game journalist said AC6 is boring..." but u know, do what u think is best for your channel my dude. You're doing an amazing job exposing these other "journalists"
The hell is he talking about with the checkpoints? I've yet to encounter a section of the game where you would lose 10 minutes to loading a checkpoint unless you were just hilariously slow at getting things done.
The only time I had to redo a mission was with Balteus, but that’s because I didn’t have any energy weapon to break his shield. Completely my fault for neglecting my arsenal. If you manage your garage well, you will never have to do an entire mission again from a checkpoint. I sense major skill issue
Sounds more like he didn't replay any missions, didn't do arena, or do all of the available training missions until he was forced to for being so ill equipped
2:59 There is lore in the form of data loges, which can be be found in certain levels, arena pilot bios, and told to you out right in levels and in briefings… Also, how dare they dislike G1 Michigan and G6 Red, they are both the reason why a large portion of the fan base wants a Balam / Redguns oriented DLC.
Calling the unmanned mech and sea spider terrible bosses is obsurd imo, those bossfights have been some of my favourite and most memorable parts so far, even beating my head against them was enjoyable
The sea spider is a trash boss. I’d love it if it didn’t have twice as much health as it should have. I genuinely ran out of ammo one attempt (and no, I wasn’t ricocheting, it’s just got stupidly too high health)
@@joshprimegaming armored core isn't my first fromsoft title, but it is the first I fully intend on beating due to the Mecha nature. Always had a passion for mechs and this game lets it thrive. Game "journalists" are dumb, specially this guy.
That's just the sign of a good boss anyways. You say you like fromsoft games but are frustrated with the difficulty? Have these guys tried other builds? Lol
In my own steam review I said "memorizing boss patterns isn't mandatory but the amount of souls DNA injected into this game isn't zero". Also Dark Souls' lore being hidden in item description CAME FROM ARMORED CORE. The part descriptions inform you about the philosophies of the corporation that made it and hint at what events they involve themselves in and what their motivations are. The journo likes the way FromSoft hides the lore and worldbuilding in Dark Souls but can't handle the original product.
I know this sounds crazy, but its actually a good thing that reviews like this exist. Im not sure if anyone remembers but back in Silent Line THIS was the main stream review of armored core games. So in a way this just validates that AC didnt lose its identity this is what its always been.
As a gray raven (1st gen AC pilot) I absolutely agree with that and I have to say I have so much love for AC6 now. NG++ with all coral weapons and I already want more.
From what little i have seen of Armored Cores history, it seems like AC6 is just like the older ones, and would say that AC was the precursor to the souls formula. So really, people should be saying its "Core like" than "Souls like"
The lore is in the descriptions, Arcabus makes mostly fast energy hungry mechs and energy weapons, BAWS makes heavy Kenetic and explosive weapons and the frames to support them. The liberation front buys where they can and RaD make use of salvage to create unique weapons and have their own hidden objective I won't spoil.
As a new player who got into AC6 only because it's a mech game and the genre is starved, I am loving this game. The ammount of difference a simple core swapout gives a build alone was enough to win me over as a Armored Core fan for life now. This officially marks the first Fromsoft game I have ever played too, so not like I'm coming from Elden Ring(previous game that was even remotely related was MechWarrior 5). Wanted to thank you, as your vids poping up on YT eas the start of my path to being addicted to this game. lol
My take-away from those comparing it to "souls-like" games: FromSoftware only committed to the souls-like to fund their predecessor and true passion, Armored Core. AC has been around longer than half those people have been alive.
It's important to remember that XboxEra was formed by people who fled ResetEra, not because the moderation at ResetEra is literally insane, but because they believed people were mean to Xbox. They fled a gaming forum because people said bad things about a trillion dollar corporation.
This Game has No Difficulty to Select it can be Hard at Random when it comes to a Hard Boss Battle In this Game and you don’t need to save this Game use an Auto Features at the Right Check Point of the Game.
This journalist felt lost because he didn't have any useless random PNJ telling him the next objective with some arrows guiding the way. And without any aptitude to think by himself, of course he cannot conceptualize what the story is trying to tell.
He complained that bosses have no apparent weakness. WTF? As if the souls bosses ever spell their weaknesses to you. And this poor excuse of a gamer had the balls to say that he likes FromSoftware. Not to mention you now have Ayre who gives hints to deal with the bosses.
Game feels harder than elden ring tbh. Its like easy short missions then bosses like balteus come out of nowhere and you hit a wall till you build your mech in a very specific way.. idk. Feels like an 7.5 or 8/10 game so far
There's multiple ways to take bosses down. It depends on the type of pilot you are. There are specific types of set-ups you do want... Like the quad legs when you need to stay airborne for long periods... You could do the reverse joint but you need to be a way better pilot to pull it off
No boss has ever required the players to build their AC in a "very specific way". Sure, some builds work better than others, but there is always a few dozen ways to tackle any situation the game throws at you, this was the case at launch and even now.
Plays Dark Souls with hard bosses that take at times multiple tries to beat if you dont have experience, no complaints... Plays Armored Core rants about the Tutorial Chopper being a unbalanced mess... Yeah peak Journalism
I really do love this game rn, eventhough I got stuck at the last boss of chapter one for a bit because, a) I never actually played a FromSoft, b) I never used a controller much and, 3) I'm just bad at games, but with that said I can really understand why people love FromSoft game, the combat has fast and fun flow and it rewards you for engaging with the systems it has also as you said, Art Direction will ALWAYS be better that high graphical fidelity
As a gen 1 player it has been a journey seeing a LoT of people playing armored core games all around p.s my ac2 ac is light-years ahead in speed than vaati s ac for answer build, I wouldn't talk about speed 😅
I will agree that AC6 has one of the weaker soundtracks for the series. I always look forward to the soundtrack in AC games and I was a bit disappointed with this one, even though it was still well done. Just nothing I would casually listen to
I’m loving the game. I got past the second boss last night before bed did a little bit of the arena fights and I’m about to turn it on again for a few hours before I go to work today.
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271like every FS game ever, It baffles me that to this day every new FS game is met with the same BS criticism like "there's no story" just because the story is told differently, "it's too hard" when that's the intention or "graphics are not next gen" even tho the art direction is hella unique.
To those who never pass the tutorial boss, my only advice to you is just to "get gud" or "pay attention". The game already told you many thing to how to beat the tutorial boss (assault boost, how to use sword, quick boost, how to shoot, and other many thing) without any upgrade or anything else, it's up to you how to use all of them.
bro nothing makes me more happy than listening to someone who is bad at video games complain about how bad a specific video games is especially one made buy a developer that is known to make difficult games and i’m not even an armored core vet this my first time playing the series and not having an issues at all
It’s so sad that these days… it’s not just gaming journalist that do things for the sake of doing them even if they are not qualified or have credentials to do or speak about so. But this shit bleeds over to just about every media now more than ever. Whether it’s music, art, film, writing, it seems like these days everyone can talk out of their ass and gain perks while doing so.
Journalist: I Lost to Sea Spider 100 times and had to farm earlier missions to buy all the best parts possible Me, with literally no farming, beating it within 12 attempts with suboptimal build: Hehehe.... Pile Bunker go brrrrrrr.
I completed what they call the NG++ True Ending yesterday and I loved absolutely everything in the game. This was my first mech game, and it was most definitely an enjoyable experience. I tried several builds to counter different bosses and finally settled on a melee/close range semi-light AC that I could beat NG+/++ with. I sat through all briefings and I observed how dialogues would change with every playthrough and I came to appreciate the already established depth of the story much more. My only complaint was not reaching the tutorial helicopter boss with my pulse blade whenever it dashed into the no-go zone on my third attempt. XBOXERA is not a reviewer of games, he is an agenda pusher that tries to push out narratives that coincides with a minority of haters that don't know what they're hating. All XBOXERA wants is the opinion of people that already agree with him.
Spoilers for NG++ content So how was the ALLMIND/Iguazu fight? Ngl I had went with a Overburdened Dual MG(le big ones), plasma float core and melee against him for my first NG++ playthrough.
Don't get me wrong I love Gundam but after about 10 years of just Gundam games armored core 6 is so damn refreshing I love it so much All these negative reviewers are entitled to their own opinions even if they're wrong I will enjoy myself and at the end of the day that's all that matters
Xbox era gave Redfall its highest score & recommendation of all UA-cam channels, even said it was gonna be one of the biggest selling games, & biggest franchise on the Xbox platform lol. Them not getting ARMORED CORE is perfectly natural for those clowns. At least they turned the comments off, seeing they had to block so many gamers that pushed back on thier hilarious Redfall score. As an ARMORED CORE vet from day one 1997, im proud most reviews of AC6 are great, let Xbox Era be the clown show its always been.
@@joshprimegaming Yep! They gave it the highest score of all the reviews, said shit like the reason the vampires were so glitchy is they hadn't fully evolved yet lol. Im serious they a bunch of fanboy idiots of the highest order lol
... That "Gaming Journalist" is probably the one who buys gear online for From Soft Games, goes in and invades low level players and lords their might over them, when they bought themselves 100-200 levels, max upgraded perfectly element-aligned gear and max heals, and likely still nearly dies due to sheer incompetence... I admit the Sea Spider is extremely frustrating a boss to fight, but not the worst out there... (Looking at you Ice Worm, Rokumonsen and Final Boss Fights)... though I do admit the graphics on the occasion I stop, take a break and just admire the scenery from my AC, they aren't the best... but comparatively they match most other mech games with much slower pacing and more time to admire the scenery while trying to break enemy armor and health to nothingness... Overall I am glad with what AC6 is... now if only you get parts more frequently... Also Anyone know where I can get RAVEN's head from the trailer, I been looking for that for a long time...
I heard about the games before, bought this one as my first and I can say this has literally Fromsoftware stamp. It’s fun and the music is amazing, I found it really opening that some lore pieces are either by going around scanning fallen mercs and reading the descriptions of the arena opponents.
After beating the game twice, working on the third run, I have no idea what the hell people were on saying this game is dull and boring visually, the later missions are so visually stunning. Hell I’d argue the starting areas aren’t dull just subdued and understated with what they’re going for stylistically. It’s just like as with most game journos when they say they like things like story they have little appreciation for subtlety.
I am obsessed with this game. Never played AC before this one and I absolutely love it. Buddy knew he was gonna trash it before he even turned his console on
As you might be able to tell, I really love arcade jet games. My first one was Project Wingman, and then i got my hands on Ace Combat 7. I also have gotten to NG+1 in Elden Ring. I gotta say, I fell in LOVE with Armored Core 6. I was playing with my buddy in call last night and I told him that AC6's combat is what I *thought* arcade jet games would feel like. Took me an hour to beat the heli, but I am *not* putting this game down. Its the game of my dreams that I never realized existed
Context for the story: The PCA prevents most surface surveys of sensitive locations through boots on the ground and orbital laser cannons. Late game revelations should be factored through that lens.
Why make this video? Someone has a different opinion to you - get over it. You don't win a prize for "defending" your favorite game studio. Look up any film review - you get a wide array of reviews. That's the point! We don't want everybody thinking and saying exactly the same things - what are robots?! I'm sure the majority of reviews will be positive (though that doesn't mean much today given the sycophantic nature of reviews in today's world). So yeah - someone has an opinion - good for them! You could have made a video expressing your own opinion - yet chose to focus on somebody else's - go figure :/
the fact that he thinks the only challenging parts are the boss fights tells me he hasnt gotten very far into the game cause there are a few levels further in where even the basic enemies will kick your ass if your running the wrong build. maybe I just suck idk
if you’re talking about the PCA LC/HCs, high impact is your friend since they have a small actual health pool so once you get your ACS stun off you can absolutely melt them
Enjoying the game way more than I expected to, it's great. I don't really disagree on the pacing, though. It's not a complaint for me but I was cruising through everything until Balteus, who's such a huge jump it's as if he's from a different game. I'm happy about it as the game was feeling a little easy but there really is no ramp-up to it, it's relatively easy then it's utterly brutal out of nowhere.
He’s entitled to his opinion. It sounds extremely dismissive but it’s his opinion. Just like it’s my right to disagree…..which I do, strongly. I’m not going to take a dump on him, I’m too busy cooking up ideas for my mechs. That and I won’t take anything he says seriously.
He complains about difficulty spikes because he does not know the enemies exact weakness. Aren't bosses supposed to be a jump in difficulty and require understanding studying them on your first encounter? That's pretty normal and even more from a FromSoftware game.
We even have Ayre and Walter giving us hints to fight them and warning us when some big attacks are coming. This is more support than the entire souls series.
the guy had one valid critcism. The bulk of the missions are extremely easy, like way too easy. the bosses are then significantly more difficult, generally. It does not feel like a natural progression, like the game was preparing you for the boss at all, which is what the missions should do. Still loved the game, but that part of it is not the best.
Claiming this game doesn’t have more is crazy… what about Nosaac the AC pilot hiding in Grid 086, he’s trying to avoid paying his debts. Tricked the corps into paying for his fancy new death machine then sits next to a chest the rest of his time on rubicon.
Also there absolutely are deep floor descriptions on the items because each of the items is from a specific company and it describes those companies and how those companies so heavier tank top parts or this company sells swifter small speed type part Gives you a lot of insight into the different companies in this game the different companies are the different kingdoms
Went to that guys review vid comments are back up now and his pinned comment states that he'll shadow ban you if you criticize him lol gotta love game journalism these days
I have to agree with Xboxera for different reasons. I'm a lifelong AC fan and after finishing the game 3 times (NG++) I can say it's garbage. The checkpoints, resupply, repair, scan, recharging shields and stagger should be removed or reimplemented. The difficulty is ridiculous too. While I mostly destroyed bosses and almost every AC in my first try (including both NG+ and NG++ ones) Baltheus, Spider, Cel and Sol kicked my ass. Was it a "git gud" problem? No. Cheap tactics and a requirement to abuse the stagger mechanic. While it'd be fine if stagger was meant as a reward for playing more aggressively, it's required to abuse it so you can do damage. Also, my pet peeves. No arm-weapons, no ammo backups, no (head) map, only 2 quad legs, 2 tank legs and 1 that's between hover and tank but really is neither, so no hover legs either. What kind of bullshit is that? All I can say is while it's competently made as software product (runs perfectly on PC at 60 fps and only crashed once) it's a bad AC game. To me, it's clear the devs don't know their shit and only cope-pasted on what came before.
AC6 is very difficult but it is so rewarding when you finally overcome those challenges. By the end of the game i was in love. But i raged a lot to get there haha. But the game is not ugly at all!! It looks damn good. Idk wtf these people are talking about bad graphics??

It might be a little cliche for sci fi... but the whole augmented human basically being human scraps.. the idea that even with all that tech and AI available, the human desire to survive beats all... its a cute spin
my favorite part is that he claims that he understands that the game isnt supposed to be like souls, and then repeatedly complains about the things that it doesnt have that souls games do have. 😂😅
lol you cant make this up :P
He then complains about difficulty spikes 🤡
One of the weird things is that there is lore in the equipment descriptions. Like how all the parts of your starter mech are developed by a faction you encounter and do jobs for later in the game. And there’s actually a reason for that. So that stuff is still in the game just like souls fans seem to like. Yet some claim it’s not.
He didn't realize you can find info logs containing lore and that there's lore about the arena pilots, do you really think he read the parts descriptions?
If he can even read I mean
The guy at Xboxera seems like a troll plain and simple. He tries to compare it to Dark Souls when it's not even a Dark Souls game. Let the guy have his one review and one dead brain cell.
the guy even gave Redfall 8.5! absolutely braindead

Im just excited for games to be considered "Core Like", "Harder than Armored Core", and "Just Like Armored Core"
But the difference is that none of those will ever *be* Armored Core.
Me too man. DS and ER are actually incredibly easy once you get the hang of the I frame dodges but AC you have to read an attack pattern and adjust movement at the right time or dodge through a brief opening in the attack in order to effectively dodge the attack and it feels SO MUCH MORE REWARDING when you are playing well. Having to analyze the fight and figure out correct movements and timings feels more impactful than just tapping a roll button any time anything is about to hit you. I wish more games moving forwards would be built off this dynamic.
"Hard Core" game
I mean, I've always considered Souls games to be Core like fantasy games. I'm not an original Raven, I started with AC3, the true originals were with the franchise from the start. However, FromSoft has always prided themselves on making challenging games that gamers will enjoy. Learning and applying the mechanics of the game has always been a core design aspect of their games. I was a little sad when they abandoned Armored Core for Dark Souls, but it was a reasonable decision for the studio at the time. I liked Chrome Hounds, it felt like a prequel to AC, but it fell flat on it's face commercially. The era of mecha had to go on hiatus. Now that it's back, it's fresh, and I'm happy to see that many are trying the genre and enjoying it. Hopefully this is the beginning of the term "Core like", I'm looking forward to the creativity developers can muster when they decide to compete with the title. A Core like Muv-Luv game would be great, since the art direction is already inspired putting the player in the "cockpit" could actually extend the appeal of an equally dark franchise beyond the current fan base. It's a franchise that never should have settled for being a dating simulator.
Ooooooh my fucking goodness yes. I'm excited for armored core-likes / ripoffs left and right. I'm here for the mecha tidal wave, baby! It's been too long.
People tend to get put off by the title. While i agree it does sound a bit misleading at first, but i think it's good to expose these bias journalists who harms the reputation of a really amazing game that deserves to be mainstream. Not just a niche mech game. We need videogame variety. Tired of seeing call of duty and other repetitive cash grab games filled with microtransactions.
Thanks I try to make the thumbnail as obvious as possible but if you have better tittle suggestions let me know
@@joshprimegaming i know your title is pretty straightforward already, but people just see the armored core is boring and frustrating part. Most don't pay attention to quotation marks. So maybe something like" this game journalist said AC6 is boring..." but u know, do what u think is best for your channel my dude. You're doing an amazing job exposing these other "journalists"
COUGH Destiny COUGH
The hell is he talking about with the checkpoints? I've yet to encounter a section of the game where you would lose 10 minutes to loading a checkpoint unless you were just hilariously slow at getting things done.
The only time I had to redo a mission was with Balteus, but that’s because I didn’t have any energy weapon to break his shield. Completely my fault for neglecting my arsenal. If you manage your garage well, you will never have to do an entire mission again from a checkpoint. I sense major skill issue
Sounds more like he didn't replay any missions, didn't do arena, or do all of the available training missions until he was forced to for being so ill equipped
2:59 There is lore in the form of data loges, which can be be found in certain levels, arena pilot bios, and told to you out right in levels and in briefings… Also, how dare they dislike G1 Michigan and G6 Red, they are both the reason why a large portion of the fan base wants a Balam / Redguns oriented DLC.
Calling the unmanned mech and sea spider terrible bosses is obsurd imo, those bossfights have been some of my favourite and most memorable parts so far, even beating my head against them was enjoyable
Spider is annoying but passable. C 240 is close to the line on bullsbit if it wasn’t for the shotgun build.
I LOVED the Seaspider boss!
Weirdly enough the sea Spider was one of the easiest bosses I fought imo lmao.
It was still fun too!
@@alexanderforrest1983It's overwhelming at first, but most of it's attacks are simple to avoid.
The sea spider is a trash boss. I’d love it if it didn’t have twice as much health as it should have. I genuinely ran out of ammo one attempt (and no, I wasn’t ricocheting, it’s just got stupidly too high health)
I gotta agree with him, it's maddeningly frustrating but so, so satisfying to finally destroy a particular boss that's been giving you trouble.
Exactly! That's the whole fromsoftware mentality
@@joshprimegaming armored core isn't my first fromsoft title, but it is the first I fully intend on beating due to the Mecha nature. Always had a passion for mechs and this game lets it thrive. Game "journalists" are dumb, specially this guy.
That's just the sign of a good boss anyways. You say you like fromsoft games but are frustrated with the difficulty? Have these guys tried other builds? Lol
Also peoples shitty attitudes like this 'journalist' makes it really hard to sell it for my friends who I know would actually enjoy it
@@hollowtongue Balteus is great, still a pain. And honestly that guy probably only runs meta builds, doesn't actually create his own.
"music isn't memorable"
*Steel Haze (Rusted Pride) stops playing, exchanged for a chorus of Zimmermann Fire*
All I heard was "I wanted Dark Souls, and this is not it"
In my own steam review I said "memorizing boss patterns isn't mandatory but the amount of souls DNA injected into this game isn't zero".
Also Dark Souls' lore being hidden in item description CAME FROM ARMORED CORE. The part descriptions inform you about the philosophies of the corporation that made it and hint at what events they involve themselves in and what their motivations are.
The journo likes the way FromSoft hides the lore and worldbuilding in Dark Souls but can't handle the original product.
Dark Souls has no lore.... honestly
Lots of people either don't know or forgot that Armored Core existed before Dark Souls
@@zarthemad8386 you really are mistaken and don't know what you're talking about.
My favorite one is the one for the Tetropod legs that Balem made, how the engineers were all but held at gunpoint to make them
Guaranteed these people lost to Balteus a thousand times and quit before just watching the game play on UA-cam. 😂
I swear it was like Margit all over again 😅 these journalists want games that play themselves
Nah, it was the Filtercopter
I know this sounds crazy, but its actually a good thing that reviews like this exist. Im not sure if anyone remembers but back in Silent Line THIS was the main stream review of armored core games. So in a way this just validates that AC didnt lose its identity this is what its always been.
I concur, spot on
As a gray raven (1st gen AC pilot) I absolutely agree with that and I have to say I have so much love for AC6 now. NG++ with all coral weapons and I already want more.
Quickly becoming one of my go to channels lately! Love the latest content brotha keep it up!
Appreciate it!
Ok ac6 might not be a 10/10 to everyone but fuck man 6.5 when diablo 4 has 9.5??? In what fucking plane of reality thats anywhere near reasonable!
I know right!
the one where the "journalist" gets kickbacks per ratings... and found out FS wasnt going to give him a cut
From what little i have seen of Armored Cores history, it seems like AC6 is just like the older ones, and would say that AC was the precursor to the souls formula. So really, people should be saying its "Core like" than "Souls like"
The lore is in the descriptions, Arcabus makes mostly fast energy hungry mechs and energy weapons, BAWS makes heavy Kenetic and explosive weapons and the frames to support them. The liberation front buys where they can and RaD make use of salvage to create unique weapons and have their own hidden objective I won't spoil.
He had to play "perfectly" to beat a boss with the "best build." Clown?
As a new player who got into AC6 only because it's a mech game and the genre is starved, I am loving this game. The ammount of difference a simple core swapout gives a build alone was enough to win me over as a Armored Core fan for life now. This officially marks the first Fromsoft game I have ever played too, so not like I'm coming from Elden Ring(previous game that was even remotely related was MechWarrior 5).
Wanted to thank you, as your vids poping up on YT eas the start of my path to being addicted to this game. lol
Let them rant they gonna start again next week with Starfield,😂 Fromsoftware thank you for bringing back a piece of my childhood back
My take-away from those comparing it to "souls-like" games:
FromSoftware only committed to the souls-like to fund their predecessor and true passion, Armored Core.
AC has been around longer than half those people have been alive.
It's important to remember that XboxEra was formed by people who fled ResetEra, not because the moderation at ResetEra is literally insane, but because they believed people were mean to Xbox.
They fled a gaming forum because people said bad things about a trillion dollar corporation.
- “I’m fine that this game is not dark souls”
- first complaint “iTs NoT dArK sOuLs”
This Game has No Difficulty to Select it can be Hard at Random when it comes to a Hard Boss Battle In this Game and you don’t need to save this Game use an Auto Features at the Right Check Point of the Game.
If you have read/seen dune, you have a good idea of what it’s about.
…with robots.
but few ppl made it to Chapterhouse...... or read the prequels
@@zarthemad8386 what about final fantasy 7? Or project Hail Mary?
This journalist felt lost because he didn't have any useless random PNJ telling him the next objective with some arrows guiding the way. And without any aptitude to think by himself, of course he cannot conceptualize what the story is trying to tell.
He complained that bosses have no apparent weakness. WTF? As if the souls bosses ever spell their weaknesses to you. And this poor excuse of a gamer had the balls to say that he likes FromSoftware.
Not to mention you now have Ayre who gives hints to deal with the bosses.
Dumbass calls the story boring while admitting that he skipped most of the cut scenes and didn’t like reading
Game feels harder than elden ring tbh. Its like easy short missions then bosses like balteus come out of nowhere and you hit a wall till you build your mech in a very specific way.. idk. Feels like an 7.5 or 8/10 game so far
There's multiple ways to take bosses down. It depends on the type of pilot you are. There are specific types of set-ups you do want... Like the quad legs when you need to stay airborne for long periods... You could do the reverse joint but you need to be a way better pilot to pull it off
No boss has ever required the players to build their AC in a "very specific way". Sure, some builds work better than others, but there is always a few dozen ways to tackle any situation the game throws at you, this was the case at launch and even now.
No souls dna!? Did he not fight any bosses?
The voice acting is one of my favorite parts. G1 Michigan is awesome
“This game sucks because it’s not spoon fed to me. “ nom nom nom nom.
Plays Dark Souls with hard bosses that take at times multiple tries to beat if you dont have experience, no complaints...
Plays Armored Core rants about the Tutorial Chopper being a unbalanced mess...
Yeah peak Journalism
Yeah, that helicopter is just gundyr 2.0. It's only hard the first time you fight it because you don't know what you are doing at that point
This guy gave redfall 8.5. that game was unplayable, the story sucks A$$ and ai was dumb even the devs dont know why they made the game
Controversial take
Armored Core 6 is better game than Elden Ring. At least for me.
Don't beat me with a stick please.
I really do love this game rn, eventhough I got stuck at the last boss of chapter one for a bit because, a) I never actually played a FromSoft, b) I never used a controller much and, 3) I'm just bad at games, but with that said I can really understand why people love FromSoft game, the combat has fast and fun flow and it rewards you for engaging with the systems it has
also as you said, Art Direction will ALWAYS be better that high graphical fidelity
As a gen 1 player it has been a journey seeing a LoT of people playing armored core games all around p.s my ac2 ac is light-years ahead in speed than vaati s ac for answer build, I wouldn't talk about speed 😅
So did you call your ac "Sonic"?
I will agree that AC6 has one of the weaker soundtracks for the series. I always look forward to the soundtrack in AC games and I was a bit disappointed with this one, even though it was still well done. Just nothing I would casually listen to
It has some cool lore in the datalogs and the 2nd play through is more eye opening
Gaming Journalists are something to not listen at all they don't know what they're talking about. AC6 isn't a game for you if don't want a challenge.
I’m loving the game. I got past the second boss last night before bed did a little bit of the arena fights and I’m about to turn it on again for a few hours before I go to work today.
The story in fires of rubicon is actually really good.
The stories in AC were never really in your face. You figured things out from things said and the missions themselves
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271like every FS game ever, It baffles me that to this day every new FS game is met with the same BS criticism like "there's no story" just because the story is told differently, "it's too hard" when that's the intention or "graphics are not next gen" even tho the art direction is hella unique.
@@Bulsara777 facts
Isnt this guy the one who gave redfall an 8.5 😂
To those who never pass the tutorial boss, my only advice to you is just to "get gud" or "pay attention". The game already told you many thing to how to beat the tutorial boss (assault boost, how to use sword, quick boost, how to shoot, and other many thing) without any upgrade or anything else, it's up to you how to use all of them.
Game journalist: bosses are too hard
Gamer: the other enemies are too easy
The reason I like armored core 6 is the sheer situational customization of mech builds, you can make a mech for basically any scenario.
“One of my favourite companies” yet you clearly know nothing about games and franchises FromSoft produced prior to Darksouls…
bro nothing makes me more happy than listening to someone who is bad at video games complain about how bad a specific video games is especially one made buy a developer that is known to make difficult games and i’m not even an armored core vet this my first time playing the series and not having an issues at all
It’s so sad that these days… it’s not just gaming journalist that do things for the sake of doing them even if they are not qualified or have credentials to do or speak about so. But this shit bleeds over to just about every media now more than ever. Whether it’s music, art, film, writing, it seems like these days everyone can talk out of their ass and gain perks while doing so.
Journalist: I Lost to Sea Spider 100 times and had to farm earlier missions to buy all the best parts possible
Me, with literally no farming, beating it within 12 attempts with suboptimal build: Hehehe.... Pile Bunker go brrrrrrr.
Journalists aren’t gamers!
I’m having a blast with it getting better and better after each mission
Wait till new game plus
I completed what they call the NG++ True Ending yesterday and I loved absolutely everything in the game. This was my first mech game, and it was most definitely an enjoyable experience. I tried several builds to counter different bosses and finally settled on a melee/close range semi-light AC that I could beat NG+/++ with. I sat through all briefings and I observed how dialogues would change with every playthrough and I came to appreciate the already established depth of the story much more.
My only complaint was not reaching the tutorial helicopter boss with my pulse blade whenever it dashed into the no-go zone on my third attempt.
XBOXERA is not a reviewer of games, he is an agenda pusher that tries to push out narratives that coincides with a minority of haters that don't know what they're hating. All XBOXERA wants is the opinion of people that already agree with him.
Spoilers for NG++ content
So how was the ALLMIND/Iguazu fight? Ngl I had went with a Overburdened Dual MG(le big ones), plasma float core and melee against him for my first NG++ playthrough.
Don't get me wrong I love Gundam but after about 10 years of just Gundam games armored core 6 is so damn refreshing I love it so much All these negative reviewers are entitled to their own opinions even if they're wrong I will enjoy myself and at the end of the day that's all that matters
Funny that from soft made one of the best Gundam games too, loll ... They made the unicorn game for PS 3 and it was very much a simulator lite
Just getting bored with this linear crap. Got bored after chapter 1. Same frikin areas
Longest way for someone to explain that they're bad at videogames
Xbox era gave Redfall its highest score & recommendation of all UA-cam channels, even said it was gonna be one of the biggest selling games, & biggest franchise on the Xbox platform lol. Them not getting ARMORED CORE is perfectly natural for those clowns. At least they turned the comments off, seeing they had to block so many gamers that pushed back on thier hilarious Redfall score. As an ARMORED CORE vet from day one 1997, im proud most reviews of AC6 are great, let Xbox Era be the clown show its always been.
lol they recommended Redfall? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@joshprimegaming Yep! They gave it the highest score of all the reviews, said shit like the reason the vampires were so glitchy is they hadn't fully evolved yet lol. Im serious they a bunch of fanboy idiots of the highest order lol
... That "Gaming Journalist" is probably the one who buys gear online for From Soft Games, goes in and invades low level players and lords their might over them, when they bought themselves 100-200 levels, max upgraded perfectly element-aligned gear and max heals, and likely still nearly dies due to sheer incompetence... I admit the Sea Spider is extremely frustrating a boss to fight, but not the worst out there... (Looking at you Ice Worm, Rokumonsen and Final Boss Fights)... though I do admit the graphics on the occasion I stop, take a break and just admire the scenery from my AC, they aren't the best... but comparatively they match most other mech games with much slower pacing and more time to admire the scenery while trying to break enemy armor and health to nothingness... Overall I am glad with what AC6 is... now if only you get parts more frequently... Also Anyone know where I can get RAVEN's head from the trailer, I been looking for that for a long time...
He's literally using the wrong legs for the smoke stack fight 🫡
This game has legit a better and more story than many "story focused" Triple A titels
I heard about the games before, bought this one as my first and I can say this has literally Fromsoftware stamp.
It’s fun and the music is amazing, I found it really opening that some lore pieces are either by going around scanning fallen mercs and reading the descriptions of the arena opponents.
After beating the game twice, working on the third run, I have no idea what the hell people were on saying this game is dull and boring visually, the later missions are so visually stunning. Hell I’d argue the starting areas aren’t dull just subdued and understated with what they’re going for stylistically. It’s just like as with most game journos when they say they like things like story they have little appreciation for subtlety.
It’s so insulting that he’s using old school AC music. Like “I played the old games, so my opinion is valid.”
My biggest gripe is no co-op. Other than that, game is near perfect
Feels like dark souls without the heart
Anyone who calls this game ugly loses all credibility. They are straight up lying.
I am obsessed with this game. Never played AC before this one and I absolutely love it. Buddy knew he was gonna trash it before he even turned his console on
Game journos prob couldnt beat the tutorial
As you might be able to tell, I really love arcade jet games. My first one was Project Wingman, and then i got my hands on Ace Combat 7. I also have gotten to NG+1 in Elden Ring. I gotta say, I fell in LOVE with Armored Core 6. I was playing with my buddy in call last night and I told him that AC6's combat is what I *thought* arcade jet games would feel like.
Took me an hour to beat the heli, but I am *not* putting this game down. Its the game of my dreams that I never realized existed
Context for the story:
The PCA prevents most surface surveys of sensitive locations through boots on the ground and orbital laser cannons.
Late game revelations should be factored through that lens.
Why make this video? Someone has a different opinion to you - get over it. You don't win a prize for "defending" your favorite game studio. Look up any film review - you get a wide array of reviews. That's the point! We don't want everybody thinking and saying exactly the same things - what are robots?! I'm sure the majority of reviews will be positive (though that doesn't mean much today given the sycophantic nature of reviews in today's world). So yeah - someone has an opinion - good for them! You could have made a video expressing your own opinion - yet chose to focus on somebody else's - go figure :/
the fact that he thinks the only challenging parts are the boss fights tells me he hasnt gotten very far into the game cause there are a few levels further in where even the basic enemies will kick your ass if your running the wrong build. maybe I just suck idk
Probably running the wrong build, loll.
if you’re talking about the PCA LC/HCs, high impact is your friend since they have a small actual health pool so once you get your ACS stun off you can absolutely melt them
Enjoying the game way more than I expected to, it's great. I don't really disagree on the pacing, though. It's not a complaint for me but I was cruising through everything until Balteus, who's such a huge jump it's as if he's from a different game. I'm happy about it as the game was feeling a little easy but there really is no ramp-up to it, it's relatively easy then it's utterly brutal out of nowhere.
That's how AC has always been. The brick wall comes out of no where, loll
The thing is, Balteus is a cakewalk with Pulse Guns and grenade launchers (or those busted early game plasma missiles.)
Basically, you refined a load out against a different kind of foe only to encounter a foe resistant to those attacks. Same happened to me.
He turned comments back on but now they're heavily filtered, any feedback that is even slightly negative will be deleted.
He’s entitled to his opinion. It sounds extremely dismissive but it’s his opinion. Just like it’s my right to disagree…..which I do, strongly.
I’m not going to take a dump on him, I’m too busy cooking up ideas for my mechs.
That and I won’t take anything he says seriously.
Bro needs to say April Fools quick
He complains about difficulty spikes because he does not know the enemies exact weakness. Aren't bosses supposed to be a jump in difficulty and require understanding studying them on your first encounter? That's pretty normal and even more from a FromSoftware game.
We even have Ayre and Walter giving us hints to fight them and warning us when some big attacks are coming. This is more support than the entire souls series.
More support than any other AC game
I thought the initial rant was already joking the reviews, but it was an actual review. Wow
For someone who supposedly likes From Software so much, he doesn't seem to be able to grasp the subtle story-telling they are so well-known for...
the guy had one valid critcism. The bulk of the missions are extremely easy, like way too easy. the bosses are then significantly more difficult, generally. It does not feel like a natural progression, like the game was preparing you for the boss at all, which is what the missions should do. Still loved the game, but that part of it is not the best.
"People talk so much 💩 about me at barber shops, they forget to get their haircut"
0:56 I think preferring mental health over money isn’t ridiculous at all but you do you. Great video
Claiming this game doesn’t have more is crazy… what about Nosaac the AC pilot hiding in Grid 086, he’s trying to avoid paying his debts. Tricked the corps into paying for his fancy new death machine then sits next to a chest the rest of his time on rubicon.
Also there absolutely are deep floor descriptions on the items because each of the items is from a specific company and it describes those companies and how those companies so heavier tank top parts or this company sells swifter small speed type part Gives you a lot of insight into the different companies in this game the different companies are the different kingdoms
Went to that guys review vid comments are back up now and his pinned comment states that he'll shadow ban you if you criticize him lol gotta love game journalism these days
It lacks feature and play styles from the previous games does it not? Like duel wielding melee weapons? Am I wrong? If correct. Why?
I have to agree with Xboxera for different reasons. I'm a lifelong AC fan and after finishing the game 3 times (NG++) I can say it's garbage. The checkpoints, resupply, repair, scan, recharging shields and stagger should be removed or reimplemented. The difficulty is ridiculous too. While I mostly destroyed bosses and almost every AC in my first try (including both NG+ and NG++ ones) Baltheus, Spider, Cel and Sol kicked my ass. Was it a "git gud" problem? No. Cheap tactics and a requirement to abuse the stagger mechanic. While it'd be fine if stagger was meant as a reward for playing more aggressively, it's required to abuse it so you can do damage. Also, my pet peeves. No arm-weapons, no ammo backups, no (head) map, only 2 quad legs, 2 tank legs and 1 that's between hover and tank but really is neither, so no hover legs either. What kind of bullshit is that?
All I can say is while it's competently made as software product (runs perfectly on PC at 60 fps and only crashed once) it's a bad AC game. To me, it's clear the devs don't know their shit and only cope-pasted on what came before.
That guy is crazy, I am playing it right now and this game f@ckin rocks!
I bet the footage he showed for the review isnt even his footage. My guess is he got filtered and then he got tilted.
AC6 is very difficult but it is so rewarding when you finally overcome those challenges. By the end of the game i was in love. But i raged a lot to get there haha. But the game is not ugly at all!! It looks damn good. Idk wtf these people are talking about bad graphics??
Killing Balteus got me more hyped then any game has made me in my entire life
I love these videos. Keep up the good work.
