Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon Review
Ойындар
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon’s stellar customization options feed into its excellent mecha combat, and the result is challenging combat puzzles that kept my attention all the way through its 15-hour campaign and beyond. It’s let down by a dull story, but lands direct hits where it counts.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon review by Mitchell Saltzman on PlayStation 5. Also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox, and PC.

For those who have never played Armored Core. Rule #1: there is no "best" loadout, there will always be different loadouts that work on certain missions and not on others.

Misinformation. The director specifically stated that EVERY build can work, you just might have it easier or have to work for it. They don't restrict mission success to one or few builds only.

Countless more if you choose to play the other modes, attempt harder difficulties, try out NG+, perhaps even go for all the achievements/trophies. If all you play games for is a single run of the story mode, you're intentionally missing out on the full experience and artificially reducing the value of those games for yourself.

we already have lock on tracking technology in place in for example modern mbts (main battle tank). if you select a target, and that target is moving, it will automatically rotate the tower to make sure the cannon remains on target so when you fire you hit. we have the same tech in autonomous platforms too, like Phalanx CIWT etc, the autocannons you see mounted on for example aircraft carriers. They will automatically track incoming projectiles to shoot them down. gunpods on helicopters have lock on tracking support, where you can lock the gun on a target and it will remain pointed at it no matter how the helicopter or that target moves. bomb cameras on fighter jets have the same type of cameras, designate an area on the ground (or a vehicle) and the camera remains locked on that position, it often has its own IR laser to laze a target for use with laser guided bombs etc.

Hold up. So, a terrific game about robots blowing up other robots didn't receive a 10/10 score because of bland story telling, but TotK which is little more than a BotW rerelease with an added building mechanic is a masterpiece? Sorry IGN, but y’all employ some casual af gamers.
Everything that you described sounds like the same old armored core standard format that we all know and played in every AC game prior to this one. Hopefully in the next game they will do things like better balanced standard part weights, speed, defense, energy consumption and output?
Oh the memories. Can’t wait to get my hands on this. Hey big cuz your mech daddy is back.
