In my expert opinion as Some Random Dude who’s Only Seen the Commercial, it looks like a pretty cool game.
Edit: now I’ve seen the trailer, too, which makes me a PhD. I would like to double down on my initial evaluation.
So excited to play it, I just wish it didn’t come out at the same time as everything else
Between BG3, this, and Starfield, I need a 3 month sabbatical and a small bonus.
ACG uploaded a short to YouTube covering the bare bones of their review. Their rating for this is a “buy”.
Amazon actually going to have release day delivery on this one. That’s not normal for them these days.
When it comes to Armored Core 8/10 is actually 1-2 points higher than the series usually gets.
The game is no Dark souls or Elder ring but not bad for previously rather niche franchaise.Never played the series before but it looks great! Kinda pumped
I find it funny how many reviewers complained about the story, it’s a From game. It is the equivalent of complaining about dialogue in porn.
I don’t see why a specific studio gets a pass for story criticisms just because they are notorious for being lacking.
Thanks for the aggregation, OP!
Yeah as much as I’d like to take credit, donate a few bucks to Open Critic if you enjoy this. They offer a readymade format for this, and they’re a fantastic service in comparison to Metacritic anyways.
