Dude yes. Also I was disappointed with 5/ Verdict Day, so I'd love another entry in the series that I really vibe with. I really hope they don't bring it back as some goddamn soulslike. I've heard people talk about how they "should" bring it back with smaller scale power-armor to facilitate dicksouls bullshit, and I'm like "have you fuckers polluted enough franchises with unsuitable soulslike mechanics?"
Armored Core as a Battle Royale Gacha Live Service, playable only on smartphones. Prerder to get 500 Armored Cores (the premium currency which has a blockchain for no reason) and one SR Battle Box absolutely free!
tbh all the problems with 5/VD started showing in 4/FA, on top of 5/VD itself trying to be "slower" without realizing that the core of AC fans just wanted more 3rd gen (3, Silent Line, Nexus, Last Raven) that just wasn't as hideously balanced. 5/VD having a heavy multiplayer focus didn't help anything either.
I'm playing through FA again and i'm just feeling all the dumbing down from 3rd to 4th gen, no real penalties for emptying your energy bar, primal armor is just a rebranded heat mechanic that was from 3rd gen and is still just a "don't get hit in quick succession lol" mechanic, quick boosting is just a 'hit E to rocket jump' that was not worth losing all the depth from 3rd gen movement, oh and because of how the gameplay is designed you have to use regular twin stick shooter controls to get anywhere which also makes 4/FA the first AC that a wider base 'could play'.
edit: And yes, it frustrates me to no end whenever someone thinks the controls for AC before 4 are bad. Like I feel that anyone who does so just didn't try to learn just because it doesn't control like the Adventures of John Halo and Joe Chief Building Inspectors.

Gamers: THE EVUL CCP CENSORED THE TWELVE YEAR OLD BY REPLACING HER THIGH HIGHS WITH TIGHTS :rage-cry:
Any crypto bullshit means I basically stop supporting a developer/ publisher entirely, so that would be worse, yeah.
