An Unkindness of Ravens

[Fox]

We don't really dig the story because there wasn't much of a story to begin with. Only a few disjointed bits and pieces of information that don't really flesh out anything that much. The way that the games present the main plotline and backstory doesn't really draw in players like other games do. If the story was consistent and continued upon in all incarnations instead of being rebooted every few years, it would've given players a lot more incentive to stay with the series. Even though the customization of mechs is still the core aspect of the game, having a consistent and encompassing story would've been integral as well.

Another thing i think wouldn't work on the PC would be the control scheme. Even though the mouse and keyboard combo might be adequate for handling shooters and RTS games, it wouldn't be enough to handle all the actions an AC does in-game. Heck, even the controller sometimes doesn't feel enough for manipulating an AC.

Yes, PCs may be powerful and all that but once most PC gamers get past all the bells and whistles, a lot of them will start griping about the very steep learning curve and will find that it's not really worth their time and then they'd switch over to something easier to grasp, something that'll provide much more instant gratification.

If FROM was planning on porting the AC series to the PC, they would've done so years ago.
