I would even say NMS is a good example of this sentiment. The game has been good for years now and has had tons of free updates. There’s a lot of people out there who just don’t care and you can see this in forums whenever the game makes news. People still show up to decry the game for how terrible the release was.
Public sentiment on the game and the studio is still pretty mixed
I think so, just finish the base game first. And like the other commenter said the DLC leans towards horror, it’s a very different vibe from the base game.
It really does look like they’re putting in the work and I’m excited to check it out. I’m just waiting to hear that the performance has been ironed out to pick it up.
What sort of performance are you seeing now? I’ve been interested in this one but have been holding out since the initial reviews said it didn’t run very well
I hit a couple walls like that but I had fun with this game. I appreciate that it encouraged me to rework my build to fit the mission or encounter.
In the souls series and the like, you’re encouraged (and somewhat forced) to pick a build and commit to it. Gear is expensive to upgrade, many of the best weapons have high stat requirements, and respecs are limited.
With Armored Core I felt like they wanted me to constantly rebuild my mech. They’re pretty generous with the currency so I was able to build up a huge stock of parts without much trouble. They also give the option to rework your mech whenever you die. If a boss gave me trouble I could usually pivot without restarting the whole mission
Thanks, this info is super useful. Story progression not carrying over isn’t a huge issue to me, so long as you’re allowed to keep playing with the host past where your own game world is. I never liked how dark souls required you to play levels multiple times in a row if you want to keep playing with friends.
These two bits are really nice to see too
When playing online, the host’s game world will reflect their progress in the storyline. As an accompanying player, you won’t advance your own story, but you’ll keep any items, levels, achievements, and currencies you earn during the online session. These will carry over when you return to your own game world.
As a joining player, you have only one life. If you lose it, your body will fall to the ground and you’ll switch to spectator mode. The host has two options for resurrecting you: they can either interact with your fallen body on the spot, risking exposure to enemies as it’s not a quick ritual, or they can do so via a nearby Vestige.

I started helping a friend with his first playthrough of Elden Ring and I’ve been completely sucked back in. I’ve got a couple new characters going now
I could see that. I loved playing them as a kid, but I never really enjoyed the tailing missions. I think they could take some inspiration from the Hitman series. I always thought that series had the assassin gameplay nailed better than AC.
