Fun Fact: The Rubicon is a river in Italy that was used as it’s northern border by the Romans. It was illegal for generals to take their armies south of this river, so when Julius Caesar and his legions crossed the Rubicon into Italy it was seen as an act of insurrection, and would result in Caesar becoming ‘dictator for life.’ Today, “crossing the Rubicon” is an expression which means “point of no return.” I don’t think Fromsoft calling the titular planet Rubicon was a coincidence, and is probably foreshadowing of some kind

It's an act of crossing the Rubicon for your entire life or else all that remains is you die from your physical condition.

When you have talented people like from soft or larian, just let them cook. Let their passion drive the next game, instead of trying to force them to make something that they maybe no longer have that passion for, or just no more ideas on. This isn't me saying from soft doesn't like doing souls games or anything, just that it's far preferable to have studios making games for the passion of it, and not ones who make the easily mass market appeal ones to make a better profit on.

I even spent the absolutely ridiculous price for the premium edition that comes with the figurine and the garage. And yes, armored core was always a difficult series of games. Of course a lot of that was the control scheme of the first 3 "generations" that used shoulder buttons to look up and down. That took some real dedication to finally get the hang of. But even once that became second nature, the game was still very challenging.

America isn't cut off from the rest of us. If even our small island of Ireland can get plenty of JRPGs and non-traditional western-style AAA fare, there's no reason for Americans not to. I remember playing earlier Armoured Core titles well, well over a decade ago in a small, rural West of Ireland town.

Yeah I don't know why people think JRPGs were small and nonexistent. Yeah, they were nothing like sports games that just simply sold. Pretty sure most gamers have at least heard of Final Fantasy. I think JRPGs were the biggest genre in the PS2 era, I remember selves of them. Mech games were niche but they had a small foothold. I do think mech games kind of died out around the PS3 era. Outside of something like Gundam, Armored Core was probably THE mech game. AC 6 has made me remembering playing S.L.A.I. I know that won't come back because that is a Konami game.

4:20 console version of the games doesn't have "much flatter" lighting. It's the same game. Just 1800p+ 60fps for the most part. You often say this stuff and it's not correct. pc version looks pretty much identical. if not for resolution and 120fps, nobody would be able to tell. let alone in compressed trailers

It might've been 8th grade or going into freshman yr h.s. (late 30s now I'm getting old lol) but i remember buying a game called steel battalion for xbox . And it came with this $200 cockpit controller 😂 It was no jk bro. This thing had light up buttons. Fully labeled with sound. It was the width of 2 keyboards side by side . And we hooked it up to my projector i had in my bedroom. (Worked av in h.s. and it just needed a new light 💡 But the teacher in charge of the dept. Ironically, it was not tech savy, so it ended up getting tossed out. I knew the day garbage day, and grabbed it from the dumpster. Bought a new bulb, which honestly wasn't cheap for the time. ) but the end result was playing a mech game with this fully interactive cockpit controller with the view of my mech inside the cockpit being the size of my bedroom wall 😂😂 I really was the Ferris Bueller of my school. Awesome game. Even better memories ❤ Can't see a mech game and not remember that. But look it up. The controller. Dude it was freaking sweet. 👍

I think it's actually genius that FromSoft clearly limited the ad buy for AC. It's a niche title, so it doesn't make sense to be as aggressive as they were for Elden Ring. That said, they knew that they have a great community that will pass the word along that AC is also worth a buy. That's not calling out creators for being sellouts or FromSoft for presuming; it's honestly a credit to From that they've cultivated a dedicated online community, and a credit to the community that they're generally honest with their thoughts. Here's hoping that AC sees great success!

It was fun but nothing too crazy. But boy when you rack up your money and finally have enough to just try out different parts and waste literally hours in the garage simple going into AC test, trying stuff out and then come up with some crazy tank build that absolutly demolishes single targets or some crazy lightweight build that can just zoop around and take on multiple target easily its crazy fun. Its insane how much fun trying stuff out is and designing your mech to really make it feel like 'your' mech. And the music in the chapter I boss fight *chefs kiss*

The art style is so attractive. The mechs and customisation looks insane, and the style of the planet is brutal, ravaged, corporate landscape. Gameplay is crisp and effective.

"It looks like it's running on PS3." It's capped at 30fps on "PS4" for a reason! I don't think enough people realize that 60 fps is greatly drawing more computational power, than 30 fps. I've also notice the game looks much better than whatever build people were seeing played, before release. And though, Fromsoft isn't known for pushing the greatest tech, but the art they accomplish with what they have, is second to none! Incredible detail!

I think it's crazy/a damn shame. That we have got to a point in games, where we expect them to all be similar/the same. We need more variety (something indie games help with). The reason why this game probably feels dated to some, is because it represents a bygone era, when games had some variety. Before it just became about money. From Software did this once, with the souls series. It changed the way alot of people look at/play games. It was something completely different and had the balls to be challenging, in an era of increased hand holding. Now they have brought back one of their older series'. Due to the goodwill they have built up with their previous games, people are now willing to give this series a shot for the first time (myself included). It's exciting and fresh, it may look niche, but that's because we're so conditioned to expect a certain thing. I'm so grateful to from software for trying ballsy things in the AAA space, it's sorely needed. This isn't a bad thing, it's fantastic and I'm here for it.
