DPS Meter Megathread

AC6 has simplified all this down, especially at the start of the game, presumably for similar reasons to Steven's decision. Depending on your preferences, it makes the game better. Or, of course, alternately, makes the game worse. But I can definitely say that overall, the 'PvE is not as good'.

Btw, what would be the best representative single player game for pve that kinda requires you to figure out and analyze its combat and all the details related to it? MHW? Smth else? Is there even such a solo player game?

I can stop once we're at page 200. Otherwise

Until 6, I'd have answered "Armored Core" personally.

Since 6 is simplified, I'd have to explain a lot about the differences between 3 or 4, and 6. Hopefully there will be a remaster with a more modern control scheme.

That's what AC6 makes me wish for. AC3.

You'll get to a certain Balam mission in Chapter 3 that embodies it toward the end of the mission. But I can't say if I just think so because I happen to not use whatever is simplest to just counter it.

Either way, the consensus from my group has been 'This only starts being like any older Armored Core game after Chapter 2'.

It's fine, we're discussing a True Hybrid Combat game with No DPS Meters now. NiKr's head has seen to that. Also giant robots.

Any attempts to rekindle the cinders will surely just ricochet off.

This still supports my issue of "game is cleared faster/easier".

Though it's obviously dependent on the pve design and we got no info on any of that, so it's hard to say how builds could be influenced by it.

We got no clue Dygz just goes off what Steven promised years ago and keeps alleging, but we've yet to see/hear how exactly varied the encounters will be.

I highly doubt it'll be completely different

Eh, this depends on the game's design. L2 was simple as nails. The most basic sets of gear with the most obvious choices for what "best set" is.

And I do agree that just knowing that you can enjoy the gameplay itself and not always lose, cause you didn't spend 20h going through spreadsheets and/or YT guides, is quite comforting.
