I'd love to play this game, but having to play five other Armored Cores to understand the plot is a bit too much. Does the game include a plot summary at the very least?
This is simply not the case.
Each generation of Armored Core games have a more or less independent story.
There is Definitely some overlap but its not necessary to play all other games (much more that 5 games fyi).
No plot summary and you will need to play the game 3 times to get all of the story.
Like all fromsoftware games, the story is very fragmented.
Im having an absolute blast with AC6.
Id say try it out friend.
I'm jumping in completely dark. I don't think the stories of the games follow each other. The narrative stuff seems similar to how Ace Combat does it, each game is self-contained.
The game is leaving me with plenty of questions, but in a good way, not in an "I can't understand half of this" way but a "I want to know more about this lore" way.
