There's so few parts here and everything is handled so broadly that you'll never even remotely touch AC's sophistication. And then using those parts to tailor your mech to exact specifications. With AC, it was so much fun getting money from missions and buying parts. And at no point did I feel like I could create the mech I wanted to create. I beat the game with only changing parts a few times. And there's so few options of real merit. But the looting is odd and poorly implemented. And getting new parts is tied to looting. I don't really feel like I'm doing much at all in creating the mech I want to use. And the options you do have just aren't satisfying, to boot. There's so much fewer options compared to what you could do in Armored Core. The customization of the mechs is very limited, both mechanically and visually.
And they never shut up with their inane dialogue. The game also commits one of the cardinal sins of gaming to me: during missions where you're battling other named characters, they routinely become invulnerable until they finish talking. the control scheme is weird and not particularly fun to engage with. Using a bazooka doesn't feel that much different from using your rifle or MG. And the weapons are not distinguished enough from each other either. There's no heft to your attacks or theirs. Engaging in combat with another mech just feels wrong. You might as well be fighting with origami mechs for how floaty everything feels. You are piloting mechs, but it really doesn't feel like it at all. It couldn't even hold the tip of AC's 10 foot metal dick. This game is not the spiritual successor to Armored Core.
