>>
>>728934974
You fucking mongs always justify your buffoonery the same ways. If you can’t empathize with an alien because they’re not human you’re not engaging with the narrative, and really missing the point of scifi as a genre. It’s like not liking Superman because 2 pages in you get mad that people can’t really fly.

Literally all Ayre wants to do is survive and protest her species. I understand coming to the conclusion that killing them is a necessary evil but to act like it’s the obvious correct choice is that special 4chan brand of willful retardation.

"A fucking incomprehensible alien thing got into my skull and now uses a female voice because it examined my brain and figured out that it would be easier to convince me to do its mysterious bidding with a female voice" is much more of an actual sci fi angle than "OH MY GOD MUH WAIFU".

>both games were encouraging aggressive gameplay.
It's funny, but out of all my friends I struggled the least with AC6, because my playstyle was shoving my 2 shotguns up the enemies asshole. The game isn't hard when you hug every enemy.
But lots of my friends who I'd say are better at action games than me, took way more attempts to kill some of the bosses that I did in 1-2 attempts.
>>
>>728938137
honestly the biggest crime of AC6 is having so little difference between the AI and challenge of enemy ACs

Why would they have to prove that? She addresses herself as an individual, and never does anything to contradict that the entire game. Also Dolmayans waifu, is she did exist and I see no reason to think she didn’t, is more proof that they are individuals.

So I beat AC6 a while ago, and I tried to beat it again to work towards beating it 3 times to get the "real" ending, but lost interest probably like 75-80% of the way through, because the replay felt too samey even though there were some differences with missions here and there. Is it true that things get a lot different when you play it the third time?

Yeah. The fun comes from tweaking your builds though. if you’re not getting experimental the changes, though pretty substantial all the way to ng++, aren’t gonna be enough to hold your attention.
>>
>>728938589
The Songbirds were extremely powerful being the nerfed (that's why Nighfall Raven used to be extremely deadly), and Huxley takes too long to cooldown/reload.

She didn't get into your skull, anon. She can just resonate with the choral in your augs and use it to speak to you. She even fucks off to do other stuff occasionally because she's just kinda hangin' out in the atmosphere around you and can leave whenever.

>>728939145
>Can't you accidentally become a headcase smoking space meth?
It makes you see shit because while its in your system you can interface with choral beings; it's how Dolmayan gets his waifu without being augged. Plus all the pleasant side effects that must come with snorting energy juice directly into your brain, I'm sure it's an easy way to fuck yourself up.

You don't notice but, Allmind's dialogue when you first gotten Raven's ID and Walter's way of referring you change in the second and third cycle.

You're joking but in AC3 there's a mission where you get hired to launch an attack on a metro system and blow up as many civilian filled metro cars as possible as a shock and awe tactic to make the other side surrender. There's not even a flat pay rate for completing the mission, it's all commission based depending on how many innocents you can murder during the time limit. This isn't even some endgame mission where the morality flips and a plot twist comes into play, it's just a bog standard random mission.

The games do have some pretty mean MTs. I'd say every game has at least a handful that will absolutely fuck you up, and many others would place weaker enemies deliberately to annoy you and play to their strengths.

Beside that she act as an individual and mention families, even if you were to give her truly alien attribute, it would a way to communicate with her kind far superior to hours, or her apparent ability to body-hop into coral equipment.
That or asking how her species "families" reproduce. Maybe instead of raising/training a dumb individual like we do, they are capable of cooperating to create one instantly with a full personality (so she could have a child taking from 621 personality).

Speaking of how emotional Ayre is,
Taking the FIRE OF RAVEN ending, you can tell she clearly start the battle thinking she just has to delay you and not kill you.
Hell, I wish I had a webm about her walking around because I'm 100% sure her animation is her trying to walk sexy.
As the battle goes on, as she's facing the risk of you actually genociding her race, she's slowly breaking down to the idea that she has to kill you.
Completely loosing it as she accuse you of being the primordial spark of war

And to be fair, in that ending, you are.
>>
>>728945471
AC4 is interesting, but AC6 is refreshing because of the way its structured around 3 playthroughs and doesn't have miyazaki's style of stripping out information

I don’t accept that as an excuse either. You get more flavor but in your first playthrough you already get the major points. Ayre’s alive, the coral (to some degree) is as well. She never lies to you in the entire game, she doesn’t even get mad at you until you’re actively trying to kill her in the final fight. If people have this hate boner for her by then it’s because they’re looking for an excuse to feel based in their decision to nuke a planet.
>>
>>728945710
all you know about the coral first time around is that it's sentient and usually parasitic. you're also told by the conventionally good guy characters (walter and the doctor chick) that the coral is some sort of hivemind goo that risks assimilating the human race without anyone's consent.

you don't find out until the 3rd playthrough that they'll just pull an IDEON and possess mechs
>>
>>728945851
> some sort of hivemind goo that risks assimilating the human race without anyone's consent.

I don’t recall this at all. I thought Walter’s warning was that coral multiplies in a vacuum and that it will contaminate space if left unchecked. I don’t even think Overseer is aware communication between coral and humans is possible.

I’m discussing in the discussion thread, no one’s making you reply to me.

There’s a huge difference between coral as a a threat (explosive fuel) and coral as a threat (alien mind control) and only one of those gets repeated here, which happens to be the one the game literally never actually states.

We could argue that we are ALL alien to each others, even if SOME are more compatible with us.
As technology evolve, including the actual ALLMIND hivemind copying entire personalities unto itself, it makes no sense to draw an arbitrary line that mankind might eventually cross anyway. I know that later generation of implant prevent hearing Coral voices
Unless you are the kind of guy who just want to make the noise stop the noise of other people existing, coral / human alike

In any case, I prefer to know other creature that protect my existence exist, than to kill everything until noises I don't understand stop.

Ayre's only requests in the entire game are

3. To not genocide her entire species
That's it. She even asks for consent to maintain contact, it was by complete accident she found her way into your head. There's nothing ambiguous here unless you don't pay attention to the story or dialogue

You were just saved, then recruited by Rubiconian ISIS. Fires doesn’t just kill the coral, it kills millions of people including Ayres entire species. Fires is a valid ending, Overseers got a point, but calling Ayres request any kind of betrayal is beyond retarded given her circumstances.

I’ve thought of that too but chose to trust the narration at the end. Seems like a clear bookend to the story if each ending is meant to be seen as a valid moral decision. If there’s still coral then fires is double stupid, all you did was kill a million people for nothing.

Later gens don't exactly prevent hearing the coral. It's more accurate to say that early gens enable coral interface by incorporating coral into the body.

Nta, just want to point out the True ending is a PERFECT setup for future AC game.
Just look at it:
- Coral is amazing source of energy
- everyone fought over it because it was on one planet, now it's on multiple planet
- Coral self-replicate, meaning multiple planet producing it
- meaning they also risk coral explosion
- also people with the right implant get to hear noise

So it's not a "then everyone lived happily" ending, it's "let's export everything that made this planet dangerous to more planets" ending.

If FROM make a sequel, they can take any new planet and it will have: Coral, Coral tech, alien waifu
Hell, I can already imagine a faction who side WITH the Coral and with their help (this time) create technology that make all previous C-weapons look like toys...
...and opportunity to have Corralian declare war on mankind for using them as fuel.
