Is playing Armored Core 6 fun? Ask me now, having had an afternoon to roll around on its wasteland battlefields, and I'd give a tentative, creaking "ye-es?" before hastily rattling off a string of qualifiers and provisos. A surprising ambivalence for a gameplay idea as approachable as "big robots", but I can't say I didn't enjoy myself from time to time. Beating an angry washing machine to death with four weapons at once is a hard thing to get completely wrong, and I suppose I do want to go back to that world, if only to wrestle with my feelings on it a little more.
