    In my expert opinion as Some Random Dude who’s Only Seen the Commercial, it looks like a pretty cool game.

    Edit: now I’ve seen the trailer, too, which makes me a PhD. I would like to double down on my initial evaluation.

    I never thought I’d ever see a new Armored Core game after the success of the Souls games. So hyped for this.

    So excited to play it, I just wish it didn’t come out at the same time as everything else

        I know, like the whole year has sucked for games (at least on PC, unoptimized crap after unoptimized crap)

        And then at least 2 great games drop all at once (hopefully 3 with star field)

    Amazon actually going to have release day delivery on this one. That’s not normal for them these days.

    How do these games compare to the Souls games? I know nothing about AC, but have gotten way into Souls since Elden Ring came out

      @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 both third person games where you kill stuff! But about as similar as Mario and Kirby, also both made by the same developer :)

      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.

    When it comes to Armored Core 8/10 is actually 1-2 points higher than the series usually gets.
    The game is no Dark souls or Elder ring but not bad for previously rather niche franchaise.

    I find it funny how many reviewers complained about the story, it’s a From game. It is the equivalent of complaining about dialogue in porn.

      I don’t see why a specific studio gets a pass for story criticisms just because they are notorious for being lacking.
