The contrast between people jerking themselves over how hard the game it is and the massive casualisation of what used to be the traditional source of difficulty in ac games amuses me. Switching mechs mid mission? With free reloads? Lmao.
Meanwhile i struggled with slow ass tank thread mechs armed with the biggest aoe weapons because i liked explosions, but whose ammo was so limited i really had to make the best use of my megumin firepower.
I remember the final levels of most ac games being designed apparently to troll me specifically because they tended to be vertical platforming fiestas full of small enemies chipping away at you and making you fall down to restart the climb from scratch like it was one of those Getting over It clones. And then after surviving through that gauntlet, had to fight 8ball or whatever elite raven that ac game would have, sometimes twice. Switching to agile jumpy mech then going back to armageddon tank mech would have made it all a cake walk.
Anyways i’m torn. On one side omg new ac game and visuals look gorgeous, on the other the whole focus on difficult bosses alienates me. If i wanted that sort of gameplay i’d just play cuphead ffs. Guess will wait untill a sale and if i get stuck for 2 hours on the tutorial boss like some people say they are then i’ll know it’s not for me.
