Armored Core V for mecha fans
Newbies to mecha -- or robot -- gaming are certainly welcome to dip their metallic toes into the waters, but only those determined to wade through useless missions and challenges are truly rewarded in Armored Core V. Building a mecha of ultimate destruction wouldn't seem terribly difficult: Defeat some enemies, get paid lots of cash, buy upgrades and other new parts, and off you go to global domination. AC V goes too far, with many missions taking only minutes to complete.
