>>56923147Anon, this system is way better than most AC games. PS1 and PS2 era AC forced you to run energy weapons for endgame to get good DPS. PS2 era Heat mechanic do nothing against AI most of the time (except in Nexus, and actually a good mechanic), ECM was uncounterable for you, and your ECM does jackshit and the AI have stupid lockbreak cheat in 3 and Nexus. The only thing resembles the heat system in AC6 was Kojima penetration mechanic in AC4, and even then, people zooms at mach 5 and blading anyways. ACV is just silly triangle mechanic where you are forced to run KE on PvE, and bring TE/CE for PvP with good KE threshold defenses.
AC6 is the best compromise I have seen even if it has to adapt it from Sekiro.
