Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon was released on August 25 and players have been enjoying — or raging at — the game over the past week, including ourselves. While some of the more skilled gamers on our team have already finished their first playthrough, I am currently stuck on the final boss. I’m hoping to wrap that up this evening and we should have a review ready to publish later this week.
Meanwhile, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco are working to bring the Armored Core franchise into the mainstream. The newest promotional video features actor Rainn Wilson, best known for his portrayal of Dwight Schrute in The Office, who appears as a Mechless Mutual insurance agent. Even more entertaining is the video’s description:
When life happens, Mechless Mutual Insurance covers everything* to give you peace of mind.
* Mechless Mutual does not cover any damages, fatalities, or eventualities as caused by mechs. Mechs heretofore are defined as any legged or treaded mechanical construct piloted by a legally licensed mech pilot, as subject to arbitration therein.
Special accommodations are not extended in situations whenceforth damages, fatalities, or eventualities occur as caused by a mech which has temporarily, permanently, or permatemporarily disconnected, whether by battle or by matters of course, one or more of the mech’s legs, arms, or other pursuant armaments (hereforth referred to as “parts”).
Legal licensure henceforth may be pursuant to audit by Mechless Mutual to determine coverage in cases where the legality of said licensure is brought under scrutiny due to incidents of piracy, theft, or illegal entry.
Damages caused by disconnected mech parts including but not limited to being crushed by said disconnected mech parts including but not limited to afore mentioned “parts”, damages caused by said parts failing from significant heights, or other priorforth incidental eventualities.
