I liked Arc Raiders well enough, icky associations with AI notwithstanding. I mainly play it for work purposes, but occasionally dip in of my own accord when I have a chance, shooting at robots with friends and filling my pockets with damp trash.
The problem is, recently Arc's been a bit too… pliant. Toothless. Five games in a row yesterday, and not a single real peril encountered, barely a bullet fired. The robots are oblivious, and the humans tip their hats in casual greeting as I pass them by in the street. I doubt this is the intended experience, and clearly, something needs to change – and a reboot to the robot forces seems like the obvious place to begin.
