And this just in, I suck at it.
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
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.

As an AC veteran greatly enjoying the new game after many years waiting, I feel vindicated.
And don’t worry about sucking at this game! Even I had to spend 6 hours fighting Balteus to finally defeat it. Stick with the game, try different builds until something works for you.
Not everyone has the time or patience to fight a boss for 6 hours. I guess I will stick with my boring ass games with easy modes. No offense to you.
Wow. It dropped at a rough time, too. BG3 is still going nuts and Starfield is coming soon. It’s the kind of thing I’d love to check out but those two (and probably Madden because it’s football season) are just going to eat the absolute hell out of my time.
I just finished the first really hard boss (Balteus) and I’m having a ball. Can recommend. But play it on PC with KB+M. I know it’s a fromsoft game, but the KB+M controls are 10X as good as gamepad controls.
I had a decent time fighting balteus but sea spider is going to make me put my controller through my TV.
Fly above him, use missiles, land only when necessary to replenish energy.
I’m loving every second of it. Already on NG++. Feels great on PC with KB+M. I’m in heaven.
I play almost every game genre, but mechs have always had zero interest to me personally
Was really tempted to buy it, but it sounds like it’s too much of a grind for my taste.
There is no grind. Parts sell for 100% value, and even the training missions give you valuable parts, so with no grinding I’m pretty much at exactly the mech I wanted from all the parts available.
The game is difficult, but it’s rewarding about it. The fights are hard but also fun and interesting and the game gives you tons of interesting parts to try loadouts.
Honestly I have had no grinding. I’m through new game, and a bit into ng+. I haven’t had any money issues, and parts resell for full value. Unless you count dying on a fight a dozen or so times grinding.
