Ed writes, "To sum up my brief experience with Armored Core 6, I would say it didn't surprise me in the slightest. It looked as I thought it might look, which was a no-nonsense blast through grey, where the pleasure lies in tweaking your droids to complete missions, not in being lost in some dark fantasy lake at the bottom of an abyss. If you're expecting the game to be Souls with mechs, it's not that. The game borrows some Souls elements, but from what I gather it's focused more on optimising action over adventure."
Bandai Namco announced its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year, related to the period between October and December 2023.
To be fair, they the only ones. Square and other Japanese devs been lacking is quality for a long time and they made up for it in good games.
Capcom, Nintendo, and Atlus are far better than Bandai, and you can't really count FromSoftware as one of Bandai's studios.
@silent yeah I know, i ment to put a few. Example square gives quality to FF, with SO and valkyrie nope. Koei quality been eh but there games are fun. Its not just Japanese though.
Good let’s hope others follow them before the industry get too close to collapsing again.
That's the most insane statement I have ever heard, it's basically saying "from now on we will try to make good games"
I mean, why in the f*ck wasn’t this the priority from the get-go? Now that you see consumers aren’t going to swallow up your dribble for full price you have to make the announcement that you’re focused on making “quality” games now? What a joke.
Quality should always be the focus and that will get you $$$$. Though I have to say Bandai Namco has made some great games but some of their anime stuff could be better quality
Digital Foundry : It's been another fantastic year for game quality and as is the Digital Foundry tradition, staff members step forward to deliver their own picks for their favourite titles of the year. For 2023, we're kicking off with John Linneman's personal selection and - spoilers! - you should expect to see a number of games here we didn't cover across the year.
MonsterVine: "Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon easily has some of the series’ best highs, and is a proper return to form for the franchise."
Day 1
How many times do they need to say this isn’t like Souls games before these journos realize this isn’t like Souls games ???
I preordered it already
"The game borrows some Souls elements, but from what I gather it's focused more on optimising action over adventure"
Wrong, souls games borrowed some element from AC not the other way around, AC 6 just looks like an AC game but its better with every new entry, dunno what is wrong with that.
Least surprising? So From does a great job of actually marketing what their game is. Sweet.
