I have never seen such an easy win botched so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad. 99% of the time the game doesn't even work because of servers that make Halo Infinite look like the networking messiah.

When it WORKS, the game is excellent; however, the usual experience is spending hours in lobby waiting to find a match because of constant matchmaking errors. For some reason, opening the unit select tab while searching gauntness a matchmaking error.

As for the gameplay (when working as intended), its fun and genuinely enjoyable. Plenty of suits and customization so there are plenty of options for players. There are a variety of maps for people to choose, some of which are good but most of them boil down to meta-unit ♥♥♥♥ jousting matches. Speaking of ♥♥♥♥ jousting, space maps basically boil down to sniper and long range support units and nothing else. They simply have far too many sight-lines to make a counteroffensive against a sniper unit anything less than a massive gamble regardless of your skill.

Overall, avoid this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ until they learn what the ♥♥♥♥ proper netcode is.

I waited 10 years for this, as soon as I saw that it was available I bought the premium edition for AC6. I'll tell you this, this game is worth the 450 I paid for it.

Although I haven't beaten the game, I have had tons of fun. The game is fast and brutal - atleast for anyone who isn't an AC veteran, I played Silent Line and this is a cakewalk - so its not a massive departure from what soulsborn fans consider "fromsoftware". The game has gorgeous graphics, fun gameplay, an interesting story, the iconic customization in the series, Balteus, warcrimes, the clunk, and many other things that are integral to the AC formula. Another big thing I love about AC6 is the attention to detail; the garage animations, the weapon swap animations, the sounds, the particle effects, everything, its all just incredible. I love you when you make a change to your AC's core or Legs it has an animation for disassembly/reassembly.

Unfortunately, they did make some choices that knock it down on the rankings for AC games in my opinion - changes such as: adding souls lock instead of keeping the old system from 4 and FA, restricting melee to the left arm, less than stellar performance on my laptop (which is more than plenty to run this game at 1080 medium), removing turning speed (tanks are absolutely busted now), adding ♥♥♥♥♥♥ estus flasks, adding checkpoints rather than doing what ACV did, they did not bring back email, lack of a content browser for all shared decals/emblems/color-pallets, adding a stagger meter (we really didn't need this I like realism), the mech designs are kinda lanky, etc.

Despite my criticisms, this game is easily a masterpiece that surpases Elden Ring. Don't get me wrong, Elden Ring is great but AC6 is just better. Don't read any other review, just buy this. I promise you'll enjoy this amazing experience. (Also, you can unlock a foot decal in the first chapter. Good job Miyazaki)

Also, Soyfield fans can piss off with their steam discussion/forum/review raids. Sorry that Fromsoftware doesnt release games that require 8 years of community patches to be somewhat functional and a further 20 to be mildly enjoyable.

This game is a literal affront to god. I've had diarrhea more pleasant than this.

Can confirm, using Linux is exactly like this. Personally, I have destabilized multiple African nations in order to further the war economy in Africa using Linux - it's what us Linux users do, oopsie.

The Boss is especially Big when viewed from behind

This is one of the most outrageous, unethical, and anti-consumer monetization schemes I have seen yet; not as bad as EA but close. You guys have lied about a "majority of the content being obtained through playing the game for free", can't believe were going the H5 false advertising route again. Also, cutting tons of content to lock it behind a $1,040 pay wall is absolutely absurd, what the hell is wrong with you guys? Here's what I told one of my friends:

"Idk why people are so hyped. yeah, the gameplay is good but its lacking basic things such as: Forge, Splitscreen, colors, free customization like they promised, assassinations, and a progression system, basic game modes, a UI that doesn't make me wanna die, etc.

All they have to do is model the progression system after MCC, make it so I can buy pieces of armor for a couple bucks (the whole kit would add up to around $12) or purchase the battlepass for $20 and be able to work towards all the armor instead. That would be a much more player friendly system. Furthermore, make it so that we have a regular shader with primary and secondary while coatings provide special designs and patterns that we can change the color of, this would make it so coatings can still be sold but also be more player friendly. This system would make heaps more money.

In addition to this, make it so that XP is performance based while challenges offer 10-50 credits upon completion."

Armor shaders should not be $10, at most $2. Shoulder Pieces should be $2, chest pieces should be $3, knees $2, visors $2, helmets $5 with all respective attachments a dollar or 2; $10 for a helmet attachment is absolutely insane.

Until they address this absolute abomination of greed, dont play the game. Our wallets speak louder than our words.


EDIT: MODS HAVE BEGUN TO CENSOR CRITICISM

These people know how to make robots go brrrrt
