So since my refund got denied I was basically forced to finish a playthrough of the game

For the most part I didn't have fun at all. There were small amounts of satisfaction but those were few and far between. I don't like that there's like 7-8 things on the hud that I have to worry about cause imo that's JRPG levels of overcomplicated. same thing with the stats. I just wanna build a mech that's fun and looks cool but I can't cause of the multitude of stats and limitations put on the parts that make it feel terrible. Dash boosting is practically useless in most situations cause a lot of things don't have a clear path of where they're going and some attacks will end up going off screen or your AC will cover up the attack cause of the camera placement. Another thing is that the difficulty is heavily dependent on the type of AC you're running which is just awfully lazy and annoying cause I hate having to switch things over and over and over but the build that pretty much dominated the whole game was just quads with gatlings and rockets on my shoulders cause of the amount of damage and stagger. Now it'd be fine if there was a downside to the build but there literally is none in pve but light builds get fucked in every way. Another thing is weakspots for some bosses make me wanna just turn the game off cause of how annoying and tedious it makes the bosses. I tried I really did but after beating the story I have no desire to put myself through it again. TLDR: this is the first game I can actually say I hate cause of how anti player it feels to me.
