A good game rendered unplayable by a piss poor framerate. Shame.

User Rating: 1.5 | Armored Core: For Answer PS3
By Axcalay | Review Date:
Love the concept and the customisation, even the simplistic graphics, but, with the PS3 moving such graphical monsters as KZ2,3 and Crysis2, why has this game got such a bad framerate? When things got hectic, it just got unplayable, absolutely unplayable, like watching slowed down stop motion.
The controls became unresponsive and clunky and I found myself unable to stand this badly developed game. Do not know how people got through it, but i'm afraid that I couldn't.

Only buy this game if you are:

Very patient and like a challenge.
Love to customize the robot more than play with it.
Know of a way to better the framerate, as I tried everything, even forcing the lowest resolution.

So there you have it, a potentially good game rendered useless by lazy developers who couldn't be bothered to fix such a big issue.
Shame on you From Software.

    This game is a pretty fun game in general but I can see this will appeal to a very selective group of players. If you are not into mech based combat or VERY fast paced combat then this game might not be for you. This gam... Read Full Review
