i was pretty blown away right off the bat by this game's speed, scope and scale. i mean fuck - skydiving past anti air lasers in the second mission? destroying a fleet of battleships shortly after?? being able to destroy a gen 1 AC by flicking it??? shit's crazy!!!
it was kinda surprising how fast-moving the narrative was in general. the foreshadowing towards a grand scale war over a clearly dangerous resource, the rising value of the player as a mercenary - leveling a corporation's entire base of operations halfway through the game? imagine my shock!
...when the following mission ended with credits
that's it? that's armored core 4?! this game is like 30 seconds long and hardly anything actually happens in it!! what the fuck?? this is effectively a prologue and a tech demo. i mean, don't get me wrong - it's a cool tech demo and it's really fun while it lasts - but holy shit is it brief and anticlimactic
anyway. nice appetizer. some of the hard missions were cool too i guess. fuck that 4v1. i'll be getting to for answer now
