Worth Playing writes "Armored Core for Answer is the 12th entry in the decade-old Armored Core franchise. This strikes me as a bit baffling, as the previous entry, Armored Core 4, was the 11th entry. Strange counting methods aside, this is the second outing for Armored Core on next-gen consoles and developer From Software's third attempt at a mech game on the Xbox 360 (one of them being Chromehounds). Armored Core is a series I left behind after Armored Core 2 in the early days of the PlayStation 2, and I didn't come back until Armored Core 4 on the Xbox 360. AC4 was a tremendous disappointment in almost every imaginable way, but From seems to have listened to the community to learn about the exact issues with Armored Core 4. As a result, Armored Core for Answer is a much improved effort. It's nowhere near perfect, but the improvement is vast and brings the series back from the gutter."
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".
this is what AC4 should have been? :O
Four was big on eye candy, small on fun.
