@TheChancePants they don't compare at all to the souls games. Armored Core existed alongside King's Field and they were nothing alike. You could relate that to the comparison of the latest Armored Core and Elden Ring. They are by the same developer but completely separate. --edit typo
They are mission based and very fast paced. AC games are generally pretty challenging and designed to be replayed a lot for mastery and for trying out different mech loadouts as you unlock parts and weapons over time.
Difficulty and weirdness in the story wise? Very similar.
How the game actually feels to play? Totally different. AC is more of a hardcore arcade action game. One part MechWarrior, one part bullet hell shooter. I’m surprised to see it hasn’t really changed much from AC2, the last AC I ever played.
Some of the levels are fucking epic as hell. One of the missions I’ve done so far, you have to take down this massive building sized tank on legs, and it’s like the size of a level in and of itself. You’re already in a giant mech that dwarfs a human, and this structure made me feel like just a regular dude fighting a skyscraper.
I’m so looking forward to finally playing the game tomorrow! The demo was already very fun. The price point with 40€ seems really neat compared to all the full price titles constantly releasing.
The writing is exceptionally well done as is everything else about the game. The story is nothing crazy but the dialogue and characters are where the writing really shines. If you’re a fan of the genre, this is definitely worth picking up especially since it’s only $20.
Oh is it time already? I’m not ready!!! After playing Like A Dragon as my first Yakuza game, I decided to play originals first, before Infinite. Finished 0, 1 and 2 and currently just started Yakuza 3…
I’ve seen somewhere that due to some storylines, it’s preferable to have played original Kiryu saga first, so as much as I want to jump in, it will have to wait
They won’t disappear anywhere so you can take your time. Blockuza is comfy and way less complicated than forth and fifth game, but all have something to them (:
It feels like they threw Japan’s Hawaii into the mix. And I enjoy the story for sure. That downgrade in graphics, where you can go. When 2 let me enter familiar buildings I was pleasantly surprised.
Sounds like we are in precisely the same boat. I found 3 is a great match for Steam Deck, and feels right at home on that small screen (and runs great).
I cannot wait for this game to come out! I’ve been playing these since literally the first one, on the Playstation. This was so long ago they didn’t even have numbers.
