      Couldn't agree more. Perfect world: give me the core of an Armored Core game, but gussy it up visually. Maybe an interesting new mechanic or two.

    On NG+ you supposedly get new missions and weapons and other stuff that only unlocks with multiple playtroughs. The 50h might have been a statement about platinuming the game?

    • @GrizGaming
      @GrizGaming  9 місяців тому +4

      I've seen a handful of missions I didn't play, purely because I didn't pick them first go. But one thing that has to be factored in to any duration conversation: any subsequent NG+ replay will at least be half the hours of whatever you did the first run in. You're going to want to skip hours and hours of cutscenes/audio messages you've already seen/heard.

      I remember that, despite polygons being a very finite thing in 1996, each of the Virtual On bots had mini Saturn consoles attached to their backs. Am now petitioning From for DLC that let's me bolt a PS5 or Xbox on my butt in this.

      @GrizGaming  9 місяців тому +3

      I also would have accepted "built odd." I honestly think I lucked into that build. Right weapons. Right balance of mobility and power. Minimal need to grind money for parts. Invest early in plasma rifles, plasma missile launchers, and the suit power that momentarily negates/exposes incoming melee attacking enemies.

    It's less than ten hours away from release, and this is the first I've heard that it was 50 hours long, or that there could be 100+ missions. I'm not fireproof, but this is new heat. Regardless, after ten years, I just want a few hours of hot Armored Core.

    The AC assembly part was... meh. Not the best segment but this is coming from a fairly hardcore AC fan. So those values are something I'm very, very, very used to.
    Otherwise I quite like the vid & if it matters to you, I did indeed end up liking the vid. All in all it still contained a good amount of information. I just had to adjust the point of reference from yours to mine, in a manner of speaking.

    I think the game is not that short, there are tons of multiple paths and alternate possibilities to branch out and try on extra playthrough for additional hours of gameplay. Similar to Nier Automata

    • @GrizGaming
      @GrizGaming  9 місяців тому

      Here: ua-cam.com/video/f7d4wydjyNc/v-deo.html I say 20 hours to see it all (if on your two subsequent playthroughs to get all 3 endings you skip the cutscenes you've already seen.)

  • @SquidlyFishBeans
    @SquidlyFishBeans 9 місяців тому

    Assuming this is a typical AC game there are likely 2-4 endings you entirely missed.

    • @GrizGaming
      @GrizGaming  9 місяців тому +2

      Nah. 3. I got two of them. 3rd is a slightly longer affair, but it goes over a lot of old cutscenes/audio messages that you'll not want to re-see. So the runtime of that replay is shaved down ridiculously.

  • @christopherlyndsay8611
    @christopherlyndsay8611 9 місяців тому

    It’s interesting because some reviews have stated it’s taken them 50 hours to finish the game for the first time. It all depends on experience

    • @GrizGaming
      @GrizGaming  9 місяців тому

      I think a good medium seems to be the 15 hours IGN's reviewer reported. Though they don't say how much time they spent replaying for content not seen. I'm interested to hear how the wider community goes with it TBH.

    • @christopherlyndsay8611
      @christopherlyndsay8611 9 місяців тому +2

      @@GrizGaming honestly 15 hours is ideal for me though. I dislike when games are overly long as if you’re not struggling with the game, it can feel bloated. With Elden Ring I was breezing through it, but there was so much content that I felt a sense of burnout before finally finishing it. Like you say it will be interesting how the general community takes it though.

    My full longplay ua-cam.com/video/f7d4wydjyNc/v-deo.html . Update: Game Director Masaru Yamamura: “There are about 50 missions in total [...] players are expected to play repeatedly with different endings.” His estimate of one playthrough of Armored Core VI: 20 hours to beat. In my experience, however, publisher estimates are always higher than reality. Maybe split the diff and go in with a 15 hour prediction for yourself.
