Yo duders, Reddit refugee here like many of you. I reside in northeast Indiana. My hobbies include video games mainly on PC, anime, movies, hiking, and traveling. I'm enjoying being here.
Armored Core VI could have potentially been an open-world game, but the devs believed that they should stick to the series' core.
The devs wanted it to be unique, which is totally fine and understandable. Not every game needs to be open world.
