Biggest thing I've noticed is that there seems to be a "hard lock on", that will change things a lot. I've been mediocre at keeping stuff in my sight, so I'll accept my filthy casual badge and say I'll enjoy it.
Still 'ate him, just a little less. So long as he kept the Souls sperging to a minimum then I'm all ears.
Hate's a bit strong, mostly indifferent I guess? But somehow, every time he brings up AC, he sets off my autism something fierce.
First, Vaati is the type of faggot you don't want in your community. Perfectly content with bandwagoners staying in their lane.
You either die a niche or live long enough to see yourself become a casual.
Sadly he already wormed his way in with playing all AC games video and actually be the first to take note of HUD design, sketch it out and actually explain what he saw in the demo booth. Best I can hope for is for him to stop reinforcing the Souls angle since every single time he bring that up, it's a FromSoft design element and not exclusive to Souls.
If it's a single player game with no co op or "invasion" feature, does this actually matter?
At least he played the games, did an "Armored Core 6" search yesterday and the amount of "SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOULS!" that was on display made my head spin. This is the bog standard case of an indie band you really liked making it big and the horrible horrible consequences that brings with it, specially if they made it big with that genre change that you never really got that into.
I am mostly positive about the changes, save for the inclusion of repair kits. If it means newcomer can have an easier time and I get longer missions similar in length to Ace Combat then I'm fine with it. No mention of heat mechanics so I am really interested in how flamethrowers will fare in this game (faster stagger when hit continuously?) Melee showcase is really impressive, far above the simple dash and swipe in older games. Kicking from V made a return so an all-gun build running out of ammo won't be a death sentence to you but I hope that they tune the kick damage right so you don't havr the whole deleting an AC in a couple of kicks thing. AC6 will be a lot of people's baby first game in the series so I hope these changes can have a positive impact on them.
So far it looks like they're mashing all generations of AC together, which I really don't mind. Should make for varied gameplay. As someone that started on the original on PS1, the series has come a really long way from slow and clunky to almost the more ridiculous types of Gundam shit that happened in AC4. Not really going to have an opinion on controls until I can play it. I'm hoping KBM works well and this doesn't turn out to be yet another shit console port. Overall I'd say this looks a lot more arcadey than previous entries since you can essentially swap builds mid mission. I don't mind repair kits as I'm past the stage in life where video games need to be a form of sadism. The melee improvements look fun too but makes me wonder how fucked the in game economy will be; replacing one form of punishment for another.
None of it actually matters and I agree that it doesn't do any good to constantly seethe about Vaati, hack though he may be.
I've never played any of the Souls games honestly despite somehow having 2 on my steam account (prob a humble bundle). I just assumed people were only comparing it for the troll potential of invading other peoples games.
