On the one hand I'm glad Armored Core has mainstream hype and I'm REALLY glad they're making it mechanically similar to 4/FA but on the other, I must confess here and now, its really really funny to watch youtubers that have built their whole brand on Souls content pog out about how Fromsoft is changing the game so severely as they dangle "Armored Core 4, Again" in front of us
LMAOOOO oh god I should've expected it. I've been recommended some youtubers(tm) talking about the game but I've not watched any because, respectfully, they won't be able to tell me anything I don't know about a game I was playing when they were still learning bowel control, especially since I was playing those games when I was learning bowel control.
The video they released yesterday is like the single most "hey we are going back to the 4/FA feel since that one is the one everyone universally agrees is the best one ever and they miss", and it made me smile wider than the reach of a fully optimized + back boosters MOONLIGHT dash in FA in Revision 1.04.
Apparently there's also a universal melee system besides actual melee weapons? A couple of times, the player AC just sort of dashed at enemies and shoulder rammed them into oblivion without actually using the sword. I wonder if that's like a specific finisher animation for swords or if you just can Ram A Mother Fucker whenever you feel like it. Ram only run????
