i'm about halfway thru the first NG of armored core 6 (i'm savoring it, no need to rush), and i can say with certainty that this is easily from software's best game in like 20 years, or at least their best work since demon's souls. feels like a ps2 game in the best possible way, no nonsense, no filler, and best of all, no i-frame dodgerolls for the first time in a decade <3. plays like what i imagined armored core would play like back when ppl would describe it to me at school. it's definitely a different vibe from the earlier ones (i miss going back to re-read emails) but it's the perfect balance between methodical and cracked out. so happy to see that there's still missions that last like 1-2 minutes tops. type b controls for life (ill try mouse and keyboard when i can get more than 40fps, m+k feels like ass at 30fps)
