Considering how slow they are and how they can't deal with a bunch of missiles, a couple of planes should be able to handle a single AC easily.

An Arkbird could gently caress up every AC if it doesn't do the stupid thing like those PCA ships and decide to land for dumb gameplay reasons.

well what if someone dropped a mech on its back from space or shot one up there with a rail gun? that'd be a pretty cool boss, there could be jets flying around up there shooting at you and maybe the big plane could be doing evasive maneuvers to shake you off its back. too bad the big plane designers were forced by budget constraints to put a giant glowing weak point up there that pops up periodically

I've been absolutely crushing people in PvP with an AC that can fly forever and shoots 28 missiles at once. Like I'll be at 475 points and the entire enemy team combined will have 480 lol

They should try inventing jets in the AC universe

Assassin’s Creed 3 isn’t even the best 3rd game in a series where the protagonist sacrifices themself to press a machine’s on button. It’s up against Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 3.

nah i loving uninstalled it. i get this isn't souls but i've played and beaten a couple of them and elden ring and ac6 is a different level of unfun bullshit

in souls games you generally know what you did wrong and you can usually improve bit by bit, but with ac6 you'll slowly try and learn mechanics while the camera and lockon will repeatedly gently caress you. for a lot of the combat it feels as if you're better off being right in their face to avoid the bazillion missiles that get thrown at you but then you can't see a god drat thing. i have a decent tolerance for difficulty but there's fun and not fun and i don't think this is the former

You aren't exactly wrong about the AC6 bosses kind of being bullshit (like I think I said before, I'm genuinely curious if it's even possible to beat them with the "wrong builds"), but I still like it more than Souls/Elden Ring games just because the gameplay and general "vibes" are a lot less dour. Like the setting of AC6 is depressing, but not in the same "wandering around an empty world where everything loving sucks and there's like 10 sane people you can communicate with" sort of way as the Souls games.

And the mission structure + gameplay style is also much better at keeping my attention. I like how there are a lot of short-ish missions, and how the actual gameplay feels fun, even if some bosses are bullshit.

I do wish it had more stuff to do that isn't the story or arena, though. The basic gameplay is incredibly fun (it's just fun to move the mechs around and shoot the guns), and it'd be nice to play a larger variety of content with a bigger spread of difficulty levels. It's not too hard for me to imagine bosses that are kind of tough but actually have attacks you can reasonably respond to regardless of build. So far AC6 has this weird difficulty spread, where stuff is either "really easy" or "a super hard boss that you need a specific type of build to counter." I feel like there's gotta be a middle ground. The wall boss and the first Chapter 2 boss sorta meet this standard, though they both fall into a weird category where they become very easy once you understand the gimmick to fighting them.
