my experience with that game was grabbing it on release (cause, mecha game!!!), dying 8 times to the tutorial boss, looking up advice online, finding the community largely cheering about how hard said boss was and how that would gatekeep 'the scrubs', and then refunding the game :)
I'm glad it's fun for people who enjoy it though.
The game is fun enough most of the time but I kind of was hoping their habit of making things incredibly hard with no compromises for anyone who wants to play casually wouldn't manifest, and well, rip
i love the aesthetic and music and design and basically everything about AC6 but i literally cannot get past the 1st 3rd of the game. i am just not good enough at video games to do it
it’s a strange one, there’s zero inertia to your build so you can completely reconfigure everything at no cost, but the downside is you have to do a lot of exploring to figure out what works for you and for any given boss
and I'm fine with that in a game with difficulty settings, but when I want to casually introduce a game to friends who aren't turbo mech nerds it's like. nothing doing, basically. I think this game is fun as an action game in the moment to moment but when it suddenly decides to have a giant difficulty spike and the solution is "grind it out", I have no recourse but to strip it from the "casual recommendation" list because it just isn't interested in that audience anymore
oh absolutely! it still requires a level of investment one way or the other. i definitely wish it had difficulty settings
I fucking adore how this game looks and sounds, but the difficulty makes this a no-go - I simply do not have the time to invest in it. I respect their dedication to the bit but honestly I wish they’d just include a casual difficulty.
Maybe I’ll eventually get it on PC and use cheat engine or something.
