Armored core 6 is a strong offering to the franchise. Honestly I've been playing it since armored core 3. Six is very great. It's very strong and I feel it's a nice break from what armored core 5 and verdict day were doing. It feels kind of like a return to what made it amazing.
My prediction is that the next game in terms of gameplay will be a fusion of armored core for answer and six. They will take everything that already works in 6:00 and implement more aerial combat that was in for answer. Now six had some aerial combat but you have to admit there wasn't nearly as much as there was in. For answer. You would run out of power and drop like a rock.
But there are other things they'll likely bring back as well, which I hope they do. I hope they bring back hanger weapons. I hope they bring back proper shoulder weapons and I would love to see a return of arm weapons.
I wouldn't mind keeping the stagger mechanic that honestly feels accurate considering too much could overwhelm anything so. That does make sense.
But honestly that feels like the natural trajectory. They've already found a balance with what made three amazing. They dialed back. What wasn't working in five. Honestly I feel like this is where it's going. I don't see it being quite as high-paced as for answer was. I see it being somewhere between armored core 6 and armored core 4. Answer as any good union of styles will never be one over the other. I'm curious to hear what everyone else thinks though.
