Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

[jaekl]

Was that an attempt at humor?

You should go to japan and hire a genius to answer all of your retarded questions for you.

Shiiet what did they nerf now.

 

[Crayll]

Parts balancing patch. The meta trio (Zimmerman, Songbirds, Stun Needle Launcher) got nerfed, along with a few more minor nerfs to some other weapons. Lots of underused weapons got buffs along with some frame part adjustments.

 

[TedNugent]

Yooj balance patch, virtually everything touched.

I have all achievements except the S Rank one. Don't know if I want to bother, but I'm kind of torn. It doesn't take that long to S Rank most levels, but some can be annoying.

Knowing From Soft's history with the franchise, they'll more likely drop a standalone sequel in a few years than DLC.

Only 3 million in a year? Wow, that's really fucking bad. If FS was a normal retarded Western company we'd never see another AC game ever again.

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

Meanwhile Elden Ring sold 12 million in two weeks and currently around 25 million.. sigh!

The consensus seems to be that this game sold better than expected.

 

[Morgoth]

I wouldn't mind an AC7, but make a bit more open-worldish.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Only 3 million in a year? Wow, that's really fucking bad.

Actually, that's pretty good. From what I can gather, previous games never really surpassed 1 million copies.

AC fed the studio when their other games weren't surefire hits, so I think AC6 showed them they have a place to go back to if Souls-style games start failing.

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

Only 3 million in a year? Wow, that's really fucking bad. If FS was a normal retarded Western company we'd never see another AC game ever again.

And yet we keep seeing BioWare games.

3 million in a year I’m thinking was pretty good for this game. The majority of what FromSoftware makes is on the lower budget side of things.

I guess it's a bottle half-empty/half-full thing. Sure, AC is a relatively niche, then again FromSoft is probably THE most famous and respected studio on the planet rn.

Like DD 2, AC 6 only had 60 something programmers so I imagine it's already fairly profitable. Triple A studios just need to learn how to trim the fat from their staff or at least keep on outsourcing it to eastern europe and india.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Assuming they do the smart, traditional FS thing of recycling a ton of the assets from AC6 into an expansion/sequel, the series could do quite well for itself. That said, I'm honestly not all that hyped about it. AC6 had more souls DNA in it than AC, and while it's good enough as it's own standalone thing, it didn't scratch my itch for ponderous mech combat with a bunch of sim elements taking priority over trendy gameplay.

40% off on Steam right now.

I'm a From software fan, like all their games, but I don't like robots or shooting. Should I buy this?

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Nah, doesn't play like a souls game at all. Pretty fun mecha shooter. Reminds me of Zone of the Enders, except much less story and way more action.

It's as if FromSoft made a Formula 1 racing game. Even if it was getting 10/10s wall to wall it simply wouldn't be for me.

And even if someone put a gun to my head and forced me to play something with robots I'd rather play a Mechwarrior game instead. AC just doesn't appeal to me at all.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Meh, i liked the game. Compared to the originals, what i miss the most is the debt system (considering the mission design the game feels a bit too cheesy without it). I also think the game desperatly needs a DLC which i'm pretty sure will never happen at this point (otherwise we would have heard about it by now).

It's a good game and worth playing but i wouldn't get it at full price. As it stands it just feels incomplete.

 

[cvv]

At the very least AC is good for the mental health of the FromSoft devs. It's important to change pace now and then, do something different. If you only make one single game for decades you end up like Bethesda.

 

[deama]

Definitely needed more content, felt too short, and the new game+ stuff got annoying.

 

[Lyric Suite]

The NG+ stuff is annoying in Sekiro too. This guy (forgot the name and i'm too lazy to google it) is very good at making games but this idea he has on how to handle save games and NG+ is bonkers. Wish somebody would talk him out of it.
