It is not fairly on the stage of “can Doom run on this potato”, however placing GTA: San Andreas protagonist CJ in video games is its personal sort of meme. You possibly can play Darkish Souls as CJ, you possibly can watch CJ and Massive Smoke duel it out in Sekiro, and modders even managed to put CJ in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
FromSoftware’s Armored Core 6: The Fires of Rubicon has solely been out since yesterday, and in that point modders Dropoff and TKGP had only one factor in thoughts: mecha-CJ. The mod sadly would not but seem on NexusMods or different websites, which can be simply as nicely. This factor is deeply, deeply cursed (video under). I assumed seeing CJ as a cat in Stray was unhealthy however as a mech it is by some means even worse, with our younger hero’s proportions stretched-out and twisted right into a weapon that may surpass Steel Gear.
Co-creator Dropoff seems to be one thing of a CJ specialist, having been concerned within the above Sekiro CJ mod, and likewise appears to take pleasure in placing Shrek in issues. Everybody wants a passion, and I suppose I am the one writing about it so eh. I additionally found whereas looking for this you could now play as CJ in Road Fighter 6, which might at the very least be a extra healthful factor to broadcast to the world than a Chun Li nude mod.
As for Armored Core 6 itself, Bandai Namco is bullish about its prospects and doubtless with good motive. PCG’s resident mech skilled Wes Fenlon awarded the sport a glowing 87%, saying that “it might have taken FromSoftware a decade to return to its love of mechs, but it surely was definitely worth the wait: Armored Core 6 is a “we’re again on our bullshit” slam dunk.
