Well you'll never have to worry if you are pushing it to the limit. I have the same thing. Every game I play it runs flawlessly.

I played a bit of Ubermosh and thought it was the kind of game to put five or ten minutes at a time into when bored but other than that it was disposable simply because of the kind of game it is.

I can get engrossed in that sort of game for a much longer session. Sure, there's technically only one stage to play, but there's an incredibly high skill ceiling and a very immediate challenge, so if I'm in the right mood (which is far from always - I'm not first and foremost a twitchy action gamer), I can get pretty obsessed with getting better at a game.

It also helps a lot that the soundtrack kicks ass. Headphones on, crank the volume

^if you like aoundtracks, play Crypt of the Necrodancer. It's a mixture of DDR, rogue like and you find different weapons on each level. It's also pretty tough sometimes because your attacks and movement have to match the music.

I'm probably gonna cop Armored Core 4 very soon btw so if it sucks I'm gonna tell the Nazis that you're hiding Jews in your closet.

I would suck so bad at that, but it does look very fun. I'll grab it sooner or later.

Cool, but don't judge it before you've given it a few hours. There's a fairly steep learning curve. At least at first, it will seem that way.

I know mech games aren't known for always being the most user friendly and if it turned out to be Gundam Dynasty Warriors I'd be pretty disappointed no matter how much I love Gundam Dynasty Warriors.

I think you know what you're getting into then. When I first played these games, the mech building gave me more trouble than the actual missions. The interface hates you. I got used to it, but at first, I was scratching my head quite often.

The mech building is what I'm looking forward to possibly more than actual combat. I love crafting and building and customizing ****. I'm half tempted to look up builds on the internet to see what's awesome and fun but will most likely not to keep it fresh.

If you get really into it, you can easily spend much more time building and saving mech designs (with custom paint jobs and names, of course) than on the missions. If you build the right mech for the job, most missions can be over in 5 minutes.

I'd definitely recommend coming up with your own designs. It's where a lot of the fun lies. I like both building mechs that are made specifically to deal with certain types of missions or even one specific mission, but it's also a lot of fun to build more wacky designs, just to see if you can win with it.
