Did you ever think maybe, just maybe, Armored Core VI (you said IV so that proves you're an idiot anyway) isn't that good or isn't interesting enough to play for that long in the first place? Especially not for repeat playthroughs if you beat it?

I'm so sick of it

>>715284002 (OP)
ACVD was better in every way. It had more online players too

i would love a nightreign armored core game
it would be so fucking bad ass

>>715284002 (OP)
Because it was made for children
Real hardcore gamer men only play eldenring

>>715285520
I wouldn't want it to be based around random drops but random enemies and locations would be great

>>715285538
AC6 was made with Souls fans in mind. It literally has stance breaking lol.

>>715285538
Easy baby games
You wouldn't make it past Balteus and I know that for a fact

FromSoft is in the same boat as Game Freak in that their dedicated fanbase will play and defend with their lives anything these companies shit out as long as it's their one trick pony, Souls-likes for From and Pokemon for Game Freak.
But anything outside of that? Might as well pretend it doesn't exist, usually for a good reason as most of both companies output is genuinely shit.

It hasn't had a good sale yet.

When will people learn that the only games with longevity these days are live service games. They are the only type of game worth playing. Making a game that's singleplayer/offline slop is just asking for it to die the moment people beat it.

AC died with 3

I never played this but if it has no multiplayer mode or whatever then this is pretty normal. Singleplayer only games never do that well in the long run for obvious reasons.

It has very fun PvP with infinite build variety

Finding new and exciting ways to bully them is a lot of fun desu

You mean like 99% of AC6 players? You already forgot he was nerfed because the playerbase got stuck?

>>715286197
All AC3 timeline games are excellent. And yes, I AM THE NINEBREAKER.

>>715285520
It wouldn’t work at all.

The fundemtal part of Armoured Core is careful build creation, you have to manage weight and EN load, and actually having stuff you want. It’s careful balance of making compromises.

You can’t do that in a game like Nightreign, they would have to completly remove weight and EN limits, which means there would be absolutely zero downside to just using the biggest heaviest parts avalible.

>>715286252
it has a pvp mode that nobody cared about bc they just tacked it on for faggot streamers

I enjoyed it, but the bosses filtered me.

One last time and I'm not saying it again. I'm just going to repost what I said in the last steam chart thread.

Reminder that Steam Charts only show concurrent players. It's only an indicator of the amount of people who bought the game on Steam who are not playing Steam games offline who are all playing the game at that same time. Meaning when you stop playing and turn the game off, you are removed from the count. Also meaning that if you quit the game and someone else pops on, that counts as "1" count rather than "2" because the number doesn't calculate total players counts. If you have a fairly grindy game, it has lots of idle time, it rewards players for playing the game constantly and every day of the week and things like these, you're going to get higher concurrent players throughout its life. There are exceptions, but this is by and large the case.

>>715285653

this is what kinda turned me off from it. No previous armored core had anything even remotely close to it, but FS still managed to shoehorn it in.

Can't wait for retards to make more dogshit threads like this for the expansion and 7

>>715286489
Every single AC game ever made has had PvP multiplayer.

>>715288387
The real answer is the pvp in VI is shallow as fuck because of the lock-on mechanic catering to soulsbabies removing a lot of skill expression.

IV and V were kept alive for very long by their dedicated pvp communities, but no one gives a shit about VI pvp.

>>715288759
AC6 was made to carter to the AC4 crowd.

Correct, which is why the industry wants more games like this. Especially gacha shit and live service games. Quality of the game be damned as long as the steam concurrent players chart goes up!

>>715288837
it was made to cater to souls players, that's why there's poise breaking, the hard lockon is pushed so much, and there's fucking estus flasks lmao
