Yeah, there's just a certain allure to AC that, no matter how it pisses us off, we still keep coming back for more.
The level of customization, from the frame, weapons and colors (though balance is a bit off), is so great that every AC that you produce really feels like your very own giant mech.
As far as player versus player is concerned, the intensity is just perfect. The tension of a competitive match lasts much longer than in a fighting game but not quite as long as in an RTS game.
But the feeling of control from playing the game is simply unlike anything I've ever played. Other games just make you feel like you're acting out as some guy or some thing. But AC, god, AC is just so gritty that it feels like you're behind an actual mech. I guess a lot of that has to do with how AC is the only game I know to actally utilize every button on a dual shock like it does.
AC is the only game that I keep coming back to no matter what. StarCraft comes sorta close. But AC is definitely unparalleled. If I could only have one game while stranded in a desert, I'll definitely choose AC.
So much more to say, but that's it for now.
