What would you have preferred? That she just shrug it off and keep kicking ass? That wouldn't have been particularly realistic, would it?

Ark was pretty cool, actually. The only thing that pissed me off about him was that once he transformed into "robot form," he wasn't really animated at all. He just kind of hovered there and shot a bunch of crap out of his shoulder cannon. He was cool (and easily the stongest summon in the game) but he needed to be more animated.
