I played through the entire game without it on console and the only time I've ever gotten use out of it was when I was trying to kick an enemy AC. Didn't even need it for Ibis.

I don't know how anyone could have a problem with AB unless you're talking about PvP, which is shit for a million other reasons so who cares. PvP is after thought with Armored Core as far as I'm concerned. It still shouldn't be so crucial to PvP's meta but I feel like that's more a consequence of the Stagger system.

With the damage numbers the campaign shits out it's essentially like your AC has it's base health times 3. I personally think the bigger issue is the resupply killing any sense of tension with the boss fights or long missions, but they kinda have to because of low ammo counts and how quickly you lose health. I would hope to see them become a rarity in the next game, whatever it looks like.

Stagger is absolutely a dumb mechanic though, I won't argue against that. It fucks with the balance of the game at every level, and it needed to be nerfed in some capcity. Make it harder to get and make it last much less time against AC's. This alone would make AI AC fights harder and make some bosses less of a cakewalk.

So seeing how Armored Core 6 and the Front Mission remasters went what do you think the future looks like for /m/ games? Is more mecha even viable…
