lol I'm so bad at AC6. Took me like 20 tries to beat the first boss. The solution I arrived at is to just get in its face and use melee on it at every opportunity (which allowed me to kill it pretty quickly). I could never figure out how to reliably avoid its missile attacks. Side boosts in the air sometimes worked, except when they didn't. And sometimes I would get hit with an attack out of loving nowhere; I'd be facing the boss and some rockets would suddenly hit me from behind. I'm guessing they curved around or something, but I never saw it fire them. I think I'll be able to get through the missions in this (with significant effort), but there's no way that I'll be able to get high ranks. In the following level with the artillery, I had a really tough time keeping track of where enemies were. Wish there were an actual minimap. The thing at the bottom of the screen is so small that I can barely see the red dots on it. I ended up just carefully shaking around and popping out to blast things (and sneaking behind the artillery cannons to melee them).

ok I read up and no, you can't actually import existing images, you've got to piece them together using the resources in-game. however, once those custom decals are made they can be uploaded and assigned a code to share to others so they can download them

CoreChat: I tried putting the shield on my AC but I kept forgetting to use it So in a fit of sour grapes, I'm going to assume that it only serves to engender passivity and I'm putting more missiles there

kinda reminds me of Vanquish atm, but much better/faster. Vanquish was cool but the big draw back to the game is it's overall far too slow

I'm having a lot more fun now that I'm actually using the combat boost thing a lot. When the game introduces it to you it gives you the misleading impression that it's a "traverse long distances" tool, rather than a "zoom into guys' faces and hit them with your sword" tool. It feels really good to use. So fast! Xaris posted:this is always the path to winning From games. the weak loses because hesitation is defeat, the strong wins by taking a single deep breath and swimming right up inside their rear end to the sigmoid and cutting everything up Yeah this is the only way I could find to deal with the first boss. Just zooming into its face constantly and swording it, while shooting guns/rockets whenever they came off cooldown. I'm looking forward to getting more melee options to work with.

Yeah I was having a hard time with the first boss because I was hanging back and looking for openings, then something clicked and I got a little Sekirish with it and it worked

I really appreciate that the first mission in AC6 has you blowing up the local guerilla group's artillery in order to protect one corp's survey group...and then the second mission has you attacking that corp's survey group on behalf of a different corp. Perfect vibes, no notes. EDIT: Also one of the first guns you can buy is just a mecha-sized Glock. 1stGear has issued a correction as of 07:04 on Aug 25, 2023 |

I'm pretty good at teh dark souls' (not really I just played enough to memorize every fight and thus tell myself I'm skilled) but yeah the attack chopter kicked my rear end a few times. I eventually realized your melee sword could do multiple attack combos, and that was a game changer. I thought you only got one swing and then it's on cooldown for many seconds. Nope, you can slice at least twice and that has made all the difference. e: really frustrating to be put inside a box though, the AC12 can fly outside and pummel you with missiles while you're gated inside a PS1 style boundary that prevents you from getting close enough to melee it. first AC game. classic nostalgic game design, love it. palindrome has issued a correction as of 07:46 on Aug 25, 2023 |
