My ONLY experience with the series was a demo of Armored Core 2 (I think it was.) Me and my brothers would do the head to head battle with the very very very limited selection of pieces and just fight each other. We had a bunch of time in the demo but it never really made us want to buy the game.
But I saw some video for 6 and I am very very very intrigued. I'll be buying it. I think the fact that the studio is a MUCH larger name now than it was previously will help a ton. The combat looked super smooth.
Like it won't do Tears of the Kingdom numbers but it will do way better than any of the other previous games, by a wide margin.
