Something I’m struggling with: I don’t like it, but I want to.

I’ve only played like 2 hours, and I only bought it bc from software, but it looks soooo cool. I suck at most fromsoft games in the beginning, but the repetition and watching yourself get better as you master the mechanics was what got me.

But I don’t know with this one. I’m not complaining, everyone has their cup of tea. Just can’t decide if I’m going to give up on it or keep trying. I’m very very happy that it’s successful tho!

I've found the build of my AC has a lot to do with how successful I am. I'm rocking two shotguns and lasers on each shoulder and right now I'm murdering most things.

Every single Armored Core.

I've wanted to like this series and I never really do lol

Funny, I’ve been an AC fan my entire life but none of the Souls games have drawn me in. Different strokes I guess

I am in the same boat as you. I'm so happy a new Armored core game is here

[–] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I despise the souls and souls-like. I just really want a merch game I can get into and I never do get into them. Not since like front mission 3 or xenogears or something.

Well... Front Mission and Xenogears, while featuring giant mechs, are RPGs/tactical strategy games and not "mech games."

"Mech" games are typically what AC is or more of a tank simulator, your tank just has 2 legs and arms.
