While I'm a fan of From games in general, I haven't touched the AC series since I popped in a PS1 demo disc in middle school. That was a mistake on my part, because this game is excellent, and I've missed out on a lot of cool stuff. The controls and the process of putting together your AC will feel more fluid and automatic as time goes on, and for those who want it, there's an incredibly satisfying game to experience if you can get past those initial hurdles. I find myself thinking about it when I'm not playing, wishing that I too was a legally purchased corpo-humanoid or whatever so I could fly a cool robot around instead of punching in information into a computer.
