ACV General Discussion

[Goat]

Just got to play the demo a few days ago. I'm... still lost and don't understand a thing. Haha.
Does the demo give a good feel of the upcoming game?

And, sup RR? I gotta get back on-board.

He lives!!!

Oh, and yeah, in general it gave a good impression of how the game will work. It's the new focus of teamplay aspect and tactical gameplay of ACV that makes it attracting, which got me hyped at the game somehow. There were some things that they didn't show though, such as being able to fully customize stuff and set up your own defenses if your team captured a territory. Basically, it's like piloting next-gen Wanzers.

It may feel like Kojima Core due to the QB still present, but it's not as stupidly spammable and fast like in ACFA anymore, unless you're a LW that can die in a handful of hits. Not to mention it doesn't seem that 'logical' to spam them anymore, unless you're panicking.

Also, I think I've been even playing it by reacting than being proactive at all, which makes it more dynamic. The way I played ACV in the multiplayer demo, I focused more on taking cover, releasing recon probes to know where your enemies are, and thinking of routes to intercept/ambush them.

My two cents, think of it this way; ACFA was leaning on being proactive by actively pressing that QB button at frequent times where you think an opponent may or may not shoot you.

Then there's LR that requires more thought in action and being reactive by focusing on how you're going to counter this certain move, rather than just QBing front, back, left, and right.

ACV also tends to get a little proactive imo, but so are the last-gen console games (boost-hop, people). Currently there's just too many surprises to make it lean more on being labelled as such. Not to mention the whole balancing transformed from high-low parts tier, to a sort of rock-paper-scissors thing, so it's like, responding to a certain situation rather than create one.
