More than a bit corny (and I loved that clearly bamco just figured “Vaati likes Souls, Vaati likes AC” so Vampy had to ask awkward questions about how Vaati is a long time AC fan) but I loved it overall. If anyone wonders why that interview was so awkward? Vaati basically only ever touched an AC game earlier this year when he did a speed through of the series (and I think he didn’t even play the expansions for the most part?). Absolutely nothing wrong with that, and I loved his stance on the “is this mech souls?” debate, but it was definitely funny.
Because… this is Armored Core. We were always the sickos. Our games controlled horribly, were horrendously balanced, had monetization/distribution models that made no sense, and had weird ass plots that we constantly shoehorn into some semblance of a narrative. And we’ve been playing these games even while we loved Souls games. The “showcase” SHOULD be corny.
Also, calling my shot: Oro fucked his build for a reason. There is some ridonkulously powerful shoulder laser (Shoulder mounted Karasawa?) and he got REALLY used to that build. So when he switched to the starter cannon he had all the energy drain with none of the insane DPS to justify it.
