If you think mech customization and boost-filled battles sound like your cup of tea, Armored Core does deliver on those parts. Being a lower profile franchise, Armored Core doesn't impress in terms of tech or revolutionary game design, but the gameplay From Software sets up is a lot of fun and will be a riot for hardcore mech fans. If you can overlook the technical problems, Answer is a solid purchase -- especially if you skipped Armored Core 4 last year.
After several months of waiting, FromSoftware finally revealed the Japanese release date for Armored Core's massive CD Box.
"FromSoftware Announces Release Date for Armored Core's Massive 20th . . ."
Ooooo *clicks article*
". . . Anniversary Soundtrack"
It might show up differently on phones or whatever, but on my phone those last two words are cut out when seeing the article on the front page, and only show up when you click on it and see the full title, lol.

In all honesty, some games would be better off left on the whiteboard at the design meeting. Whether they're too ambitious, too expensive or simply too good to be true, gamers are frequently led to imagine great things only to have our expectations dashed when the game finally arrives. How could these games be so good on paper yet underwhelm so spectacularly?
its not even a bad game but thats what i thought automatically.
i think it was because of the e3 gaming media attention. i think those fckers gassed me up.
for those that didnt play farcry 2 its a good game I just dont think its worth $60 dollars unless youre committed to planned attacks that dont work most of the time. there is no multiplayer. well there is mutlitplayer but youre not gonna want to play it.
given enough time farcry 2 could be 1 of your favortie games. play with the settings on your tv and it can look really good.

It's a bit odd really – giant robots shooting each other a lot seems like it would have universal appeal. Anyway, the Armored Core series has been around for over a decade now, with games appearing on the PlayStation, PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360, among others. The newest game to the series is the bizarrely titled For Answer, which builds on 2007's Armored Core 4. However, to be honest, not much as changed – if you liked the last game, then you're going to like this one. If you, for whatever reason, didn't like AC4, this isn't going to change your mind".
What in the hell? How did an Armored Core of this generation score this high?

"But as much as I love the Armored Core experience, it has its fair share of problems. Primary among them is a PS3-specific issue. The framerate on the PS3 version is downright awful during sequences of intense action, though luckily normal battles usually go by without a problem. I just couldn't seem to get the 360 version to slow down, even after launching hundreds of missiles and flying through a collapsing building. I was hoping that the optional PS3 HDD install would help a bit, but that's not really the case. Load times aren't even noticeably alleviated, which is a shame."
Another one.
