>almost 2026>ACVI came out 2.33 years ago>no dlc>no old AC games on steamseriously why does fromsoft hate us?I would even take chrome hounds at this point
you should play TTRPGs other than dungeons and dragons
>>23634085Even my DnD dork friends aren't autistic enough to play gunpla tabletop games with me (and I don't particularly care for lancer)mecha otaku are truly the most oppressed race
>>23634085How the fuck is that a replacement for an action game
too busy making souls multiplayer slop
Dolls Nest feels more like an Armored Core sequel than the actual Armored Core sequel.
What's the matter? Multiplayer Elden Ring and Multiplayer Vampire Elden Ring that runs on Switch 2 aren't good enough for you?
>>23634081Because AC doesn't sell... or rather didn't sell until AC6.Think AC6 now counts for over half of all sales of every Armored Core game in the series since 1997.We've really only just now entered into a period of time where From Soft can actively pursue potential plans to re-release old titles with the assumption they would actually fare well now.
>>23634081mecha is simply not a popular genre, only real dork nerds like it.ACVI was only mildly successful cause Souls fans are drones that would buy by anything with a From Software sticker.
Too gritty too real too boring
>>23635465>gundam>not popular
>>23634081They ported FUCKING AC MOBILE GAMES that nobody remembered on steam and switch. Emulators are now normalfag territory thanks to all these chinkhelds so idk.
>>23642337internationally not really, and Gundam it's about the only popular one really. It doesn't pull the numbers of other franchises or genres outside Japan.It makes little sense to develop mecha games for big studios, especially when video games development is as costly as it is now.
>>23642337The most successful mecha franchise, worldwide, is Transformers, which are all autonomous robots and aren't piloted. After that it's Power Rangers, which features a mecha that is combined from other, less powerful and useful mecha.It's just not a popular genre in general.
>>23634081it took over two years for the Elden Ring DLC too>>23634085of course, that requires finding people for it...
>>23642504>internationally not reallyIt's still a bajillion dollar franchise that makes money hand over fist and has only been increasing now that they actually release the series in english again.The shows were growing in popularity even without being legally available because people love it.>>23642538Both of those are mecha and that's just fine that they're super duper massively insanely popular. Mecha having popularity at all in the west is in spite of it being almost entirely unlocalized foreign media with no cultural penetration and a series of bungled games and movies, and people still like it lolNevermind that if you do grow up with it you get south america or the south east asians loving it too. It's a very american centered take to say no one likes it or ever will and it's still wrong.
>>23635393That reminds me, I need to check out the hard mode that just released. NAGARA DAMASHII.
>>23634085This.
AC4 and For Answer were PEAK
>>23635465>mecha is simply not a popular genre, only real dork nerds like it.Mecha dork nerd population just keeps growing tho
>>23650138True.
>>23634081I'd totally buy a compilation of all the games
Apparently the SteamDB for AC6 got updated, so there might be DLC announced at TGA
>>23635393I wont play because its female protagonist only. Let me play as a guy or a cool mecha.
>>23657983I think a switch 2 port is gonna happen but doubt a new game/DLC
>>23634081ac rights are split between like 3 different publishers
>>23658300ThisTired of fem-centric shit
