I hate this game and love this game simultaneously by Mysterio 08/26/2023, 10:20pm PDT
I love it because it's Armored Core and I haven't played a good Armored Core game in 15 years.

I hate it because the Dork Souls crowd basically know only one way to beat a game: Cheese it. And they got a say in designing this fucking game. And especially in Chapter 2 you're just incentivized to cheese things. You COULD come up with an elaborate build that overcomes the mechanics....or you could just armor the shit out of a tank, give it dual miniguns and grenade launchers, and just lock on and pull the triggers till they go click. And since they don't expect you to get an S rank your first run through with shoddy equipment anyways, why bother going for the elegant solution when the brute force one works just fine?

It improves in Chapter 3 and you get more incentive to do a couple of different builds. But that Chapter 2 feels like it was a completely different game -- Zero story and multiple stages of about 90 seconds of making your way through mooks and small stages before a gigantic-ass boss with telegraphs and stagger bars.
