i remember the armored core game had like, arena, or a ranking thing? basically you started at like rank 100 and you wanted to become the rank 1 hunter. I remember you could refight any hunter after you beat em, so I don't think it'd be too absurd, considering many people have stated the game is mission-based.
Definitely, it's just that From always has been kind of weird when it comes to let you replay whatever you want. Dark Souls and Bloodborne? auto NG+ on finish. DS2? Would let you respawn bosses with an item,. DS3 and Elden Ring? You cannot refight bosses but you go into NG+ on your terms. Sekiro? Proper boss rush mode. I'd definitely love to be able to replay any mission without strings attached without having to install a mod, but I'm not getting my hopes up too much just in case.
Honestly, fuck that shit, the game has fantastic art direction, the gigantic fuck you digger thing falling feels amazing how well it generates the sensation of scale. Few games do that properly. Also, Elden Ring was as big as it was because it reused assets like mad and one of the reasons why triple A is going to shit at breakneck speed by going into the graphics rat race. Also, it's the reason you are getting a big boy From game almost every year instead of waiting 4-5 years per entry. Is FFXVI pretty? Very much so, when can you expect a new entry? yeah.
It may be an unpopular opinion; but I feel graphics didn't need to progress much past the PS2 era. Soul Calibur 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Devil May Cry 3, Final Fantasy X and I'm sure there are others; but those are clean enough for human/mechanical definition. Sure you can make things shinier and crisper, add more definition, joints, and articulation, but you don't need to go much further.
I remember Gears of War being lampooned as Gears of Brown when it was first announced and teased because it had such a small color palette consisting of mainly those two.
Pretty much, I will state that I haven't given a fuck about high end for ages. Last time I was impressed by something purely on a technical level it was the original Horizon because my fucking god does it do water well, even then it was a game that I ended up dropping since butterface was as compelling as a rock and I wasn't having fun fucking around in the playground, in that similar timeframe I plowed through Nier Automata, a considerable step down on visual fidelity, but leaps and bounds above in artistic direction.
I watched the Skill Up video. His position that other FromSoft games have better art direction isn't really fair imo. Armored Core is a sci-fi world with that has been destroyed by war. A blasted war torn hellscape and industrial environment are what make sense. Prior FromSoft games have leaned heavily on a fantasy aesthetic. Massive gothic cathedrals and magical bullshit don't fit what they are going for in AC6. I do agree that the game seems a bit muted but I kind of like that aesthetic. Hopefully we do get something more to the world but I'm happy with it right now.
You definitely keep paying for your bullets, but I've also heard the game is very generous with cash. You can start with laser tech assuming it still doesn't incur ammo casts, get yourself a bit of a warchest and prioritize the arena which has never charged you anything and was also a good way to get cash.
Why would I play if I can't bankrupt myself firing enough rockets and lead to kill god.
Black, with red and white stripes. Part N7, part Black Templar. As to weapons... no fucking clue. Something loud and powerful and with lots of dakka. That mecha-sized Spas-12 looks fun. Not sure what I'll go with in terms of parts since the gameplay previews so far have been all about speeeeed.
I haven't heard of that one. Is your RPCS3 configured for it?
yeh, did em. I don't think it's specifically an Armored Core issue, I think it's an RPCS3 issue, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I googled it and despite finding people with the same issue as me, their solution was "yeah it just stopped being broken. idk why"
