Armored Core 6 Is FromSoftware At Its Most Forgiving

Armored Core 6’s combat is tough. Foot soldiers are far easier than those in the Souls series, but when face-to-face with bosses, you’ll find yourself cursing through gritted teeth as you hit the restart button. Just as you would against Lady Maria or the Elden Beast. The difference is in how Armored Core 6 approaches checkpoints and roadblocks.

Alot of QoL features, after elden rings success its only natural to make future games more accessible. And they still cry for an easy mode 💀

Einhander19711010d ago

Fortunately I do have a life as well, getting battered by a game & making little progress pisses me off. So accessibility is good thanks. To many games to play, so little time.

BrainSyphoned1010d ago

If you have too many games to play you don't need every game to cater to your insignificant needs.

Tapani1010d ago

If you have too many games to play, just skip the too difficult for you ones, and let us who enjoy them have access to them. To me, Demon's Souls (original) Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring and Sekiro are more accessible than say an easy game with plenty of tutorials and guides and whatever busy work they make you do.

“If you have too many games to play, just skip the too difficult for you ones, and let us who enjoy them have access to them.“

Pretty sure no one is taking your hard mode away from you by allowing others an easy mode.

I love the art style and world as do others but some people don’t have the time, dedication, and patience to deal with one boss for hours in end.

LordoftheCritics1009d ago

Buy it on bargain bin discount at a later time and then use a trainer if on PC.
Don't use god mode etc on the trainer, just some boosts and it totally makes the game fun.

I did that with Fallout 4. Infinite inventory cheat and boom the game became fun af.

That's how I clear the souls like games.

Its super fun my way.

The checkpoints before a boss fight and replenishing your heals is nice. The cost is, you pay for all the damages and ammo in the game is all.

lodossrage1010d ago

Well to be fair, I'm not sure about the later games, but the earlier ps1 armored core games always made you pay for damage and ammo

FinalFantasyFanatic1010d ago

I feel like the damage and ammo costs are more lenient in this game than previous games.

hard joe1010d ago

armored core has always been fast paced hard game
i'm more suited to front mission more laid back, take your time approach

TriniOutsider1009d ago

If newcomers thought Balteus was hard...Wait until they get that boss lol

fsfsxii1009d ago

Then you better wait until you meet the Ibis Series lmao or any of the handlers

So now they will focus on quality? lol

blackblades840d ago

To be fair, they the only ones. Square and other Japanese devs been lacking is quality for a long time and they made up for it in good games.

SilentZeroX840d ago

Capcom, Nintendo, and Atlus are far better than Bandai, and you can't really count FromSoftware as one of Bandai's studios.

blackblades840d ago

@silent yeah I know, i ment to put a few. Example square gives quality to FF, with SO and valkyrie nope. Koei quality been eh but there games are fun. Its not just Japanese though.

1Victor840d ago

Good let’s hope others follow them before the industry get too close to collapsing again.

-Foxtrot840d ago

Yeah…when they realised we’re not all massive suckers

Pepsi_Man3000841d ago

Absolutely insane that quality wasn't already a focus

H9840d ago

That's the most insane statement I have ever heard, it's basically saying "from now on we will try to make good games"

CrimsonWing69840d ago

I mean, why in the f*ck wasn’t this the priority from the get-go? Now that you see consumers aren’t going to swallow up your dribble for full price you have to make the announcement that you’re focused on making “quality” games now? What a joke.

jznrpg840d ago (Edited 840d ago )

Quality should always be the focus and that will get you $$$$. Though I have to say Bandai Namco has made some great games but some of their anime stuff could be better quality
