So I know they're pretty shitty by most standards, but how terrible are ACs by the time of the Verdict War?
SLOWLYDIG AND TWIST ITSLOWLYDIG AND TWIST ITSLOWLYDIG AND TWIST ITSLOWLYDIG AND TWIST IT
>>24017980They have advantages and disadvantages. They have lower ground speed but have a surprising amount of vertical mobility they can use to their advantage. A lot of versatile loadouts. They're kinda made of paper despite their appearance. Any bumfuck merc can get a squad of UNACs running for help which is pretty cool. Also most of the non-AC units they fight are pretty wimpy.
>>24017980Lore wise they’re equal to a PCA HC or LC, style wise they’re my favorite and I like bulk militarism mecha more than robo samurai/knight
>>24017980These things really leaned on the multiplayer aspect hence why drawbacks like firing stances really hurt in this series. Dunno what that anon is smoking about verticality because this things are hungry for buildings to just get a bit more elevation. And scan mode fucking sucks.
>>24018302I was talking about the wallkicking but I forgot how many maps in VD don't have any good places to use it.
ACVD PC port when?
>>24018340Never ever. You have to settle with emulation.
Omega phenex is in tgs toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FS68TtwVFs
Any news TGS?
>>24019706doesn't it start tomorrow?
ARMORED CORE VI.5 IN TGS 2026I CAN FEEL IT IN MY VEINSWE WILL THRIVE BROS
>>24019890Sure, see you in 24 hours.
What would guys even want anyways? A DLC? A second 6th-gen game? They'd have to make one ending or another canon wouldn't they?
>>24020236Bare minimum a switch 2 port because that would mean a wider audience and more incentive for a new game
>>24020268It should run pretty well on there given how well it ran on my OG PS4.

>>24020236An actual AC6 instead of whatever they released last time. Would probably be titled AC7 though.
Here's your TGS news
>>24020236AC6 Prequel set in a time before the technology for sniper cannons was lost
>>24021166go to dolls nest thread
>>24021168aight
https://x.com/surumemanzyu/status/2100522629455311315>Number of people who cleared Hard Mode: 0. Well that's promising
>>24021172Thank goodness. The demo was a bit too easy.
>>24020783I think there is more indie slop AC likes than actual AC games at this point
>>24021371and that's a good thing. Though only two were present in tgs. dunno what happened to machine clad and the other tsf looking ac
>>24021172Is this the one that started as "Project Six"?If so I paid for the alpha build years ago and it was boring as fuck, didn't feel like AC at all. Felt way too point and click, turned my brain off instantly.
>>24021393If betting was legal in the people’s socialist republic of Washington state I would put money on nothing happening because either my money would be a sacrifice to manifest a new AC title or free money
>>24021412>Felt way too point and clickretard thinks it's like those mafia wars browser game, kek
ac6 kits line up so far. Basho set fucking when?
>>24021543Hoping for that, Firmeza, Alba and Tian-Qiang/Lao.
>>24021616Its a question of when. they're pipeline release has been pretty weird tacking some random goobers instead of popular acs. Bandai is either retarded, or confident this line is a goldmine.
>>24021543>Basho set fucking when?Never ever.
>>24021543fucking love those basic frames like you wouldn't believe. It's like a grunt unit but not really.
>>24021675I wish they make basic frames of all full set, like I want basic version of snails a. I'll pay p-bandai price for it.
>surely they will reveal dlc/new game this yearMark my words TGS will have nothing and if I am wrong I will give money to charity
>>24021694wow you're slow >>24020783we got omega phenex and dolls nest news however. And they sure are shilling the muv luv gacha game too.
>>24021697>maintenanceLol>dolls nest no option for male characters, very misandrist of the jappy chappy Lmao>muv luv >gachaLel even After that nothing burger I am still hungry
>>24021694>>24021712of course. The furry is retarded
>>24021712>no option for male characters, very misandrist of the jappy chappyMales don't make sales.
Just about every AC indie clone (and 6) commits some or all of these sins>Barely any stats for parts>No inertia or feeling of weight. Even in ACFA you can feel it when flying up and down or the little deceleration drift after QBs>Enemies are basically practice dummies>Pilot skill doesn't make a significant difference, there's no movement tricks, no penalty for mistakes
>>24021730Code rapid is competent but even the assembly screen left me wanting more. Might just be the demo and we'll get more interesting stuff later.
>>24021730I think phenex in a sweet spot right now. Other than maybe the trans am mode
>>24021730Nah, play more 6 grandpa
>>24021777>Enemies are basically practice dummiesThat's 6.
>>24021790That has been a thing since 4, get with the times unc
>>24021464By point and click i meant there was very little need for movement because the aiming was so simple, all you really did was move your mouse cursor a little and hold mouse 1.
Finished all of oldgen, starting 4 now, how the fuck do I move properly, I feel like a retard again
https://youtu.be/5MOcmWpF1Z8?si=0gvMhb7Cu3_gLrSDIn kinematics, the speed of a moving object is the rate at which the distance travelled by the object changes with time. The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval; the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero. Speed is the magnitude of velocity (a vector), which indicates additionally the direction of motion.Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second (m/s). The kilometre per hour (km/h) or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour (mph), are also used as units of speed. For air and marine travel, the knot is commonly used.The fastest possible speed at which energy or information can travel, according to special relativity, is the speed of light in vacuum c = 299792458 metres per second (approximately 1079000000 km/h or 671000000 mph). Matter cannot reach the speed of light, as this would require an infinite amount of energy. In relativity physics, the concept of rapidity replaces the classical idea of speed.
HANDHOLDING with ALLMIND!
Oh damn there was nothing of note shown at TGS because nobody gives a fuck, as usual. How it hurts to be right all the time, even when I don't want to.
>>24022315https://x.com/mon_paimon/status/2048291923925094475look from is busy with duskblood. If they have any noteworthy news for ac they'll announce it. Now stfu this tgs is great for ac indies and edf fans.

What was Walter's plan if Ibis and Snail hadn't shown up at the coral lake? Were you just supposed to walk around it for a while and go "yep, that's a coral lake"?
>>24021712>you must put males in the mechaloli gameand there should have been cute lolis in brown-and-bloom shooters for the 360, sometimes life isn't fair
>>24023675Oh fuck it's out? I've been waiting for mine. Though mine were with colors
>>24023675>>24023688What are these?
>>24022328Might be somewhat improved by a little painting and panel lining.
>>24024211Does the premium one have a better mold or material, or is it all just bullshit?
>>24023675>mfw I will never look like this
in a different timeline, there exists a "Corelike" genre with 200 million shameless Armored Core ripoffs while Dark Souls fans are desperately waiting for an Elden Ring DLC.
I finished Rig Riot (beat all maps and arena opponents). It looks like trash and is probably overpriced for the amount of content it has, but the movement and combat are fun. Too easy, and somewhat lacking in parts for my preferred style (speed above all else) but fun. Any other "corelikes" that are out that I can play? I tried Dolls Nest but didn't like the presentation and the combat felt too slow and also I didn't like the mecha musume thing.
>>24026210>didn't like the presentation>didn't like the mecha musume thingenjoy shit riot
>>24026210They're all in development, you're going to have to wait. I doubt any will learn anything from rig riot. Just open slop trying to nail a certain gamefeel with no serious work on art, stage design and "meta stage design" i.e. how stage design itself changes and scales, story/world building, etc. It's truly incredible that FromSoft nailed it with the first entry, although they were a team of real professionals with access to the likes of Kawamori rather than a just one guy. Although you didn't like what nitro+ made, I really think their effort was the closest thing to what From was doing.
>>24026210>I didn't like the mecha musume thingThe pleb filter is working as intended.
>>24026181That already happened in the PS1/2 era though. J-Phoenix even got that OVA series with the giant girl people still fap to.
what was your first Armored Core game? The first one I played, and beat, was 3
>>24027488for me it was AC2still my favorite of them all to this daymars and the ancient ayy is just a great setting
>>24027488The ones that were ported to PSP, starting with 3.
>>24027497I'm at the last level of AC2 myself and the Disruptor Unit behind the gate legit hits like picrel
>>24027488>>24027497Also AC2 and also my favouritewhen I was a kid I was too dumb to play through the story without eventually racking up human plus upgrades so most of my time was spent in the arena
>>24028232I still think they missed an opportunity by not having him jump back to rank 11 as soon as you hit rank 10.
> maintenance Fans are pumping out more content that from, even with models there is no 30mm BASHO but there are 3D pritns
>>24029080That is not uncommon for video game mecha. Like you can't get a complete line up for any given Virtual On game unless you want decades old trading figures.
fuck this fucking AYY and fuck Leos Klein
>>24029190What a lewd Raven you are.
>>24029190His big AC looked cooler. I still dig the whole small speedy robot inside the big bulky robot trope though. AC2 has issues but it has one of the best plots and settings in the series. Setting it on Mars, the funky music, the ancient super weapon trope, the frighteners launching their attack on the government, going to Phobos (I remember learning that Mars had moons from this game). Klein is also a great villain in that he's not just an AI that appears at the last second to be the real threat like what happens in so many other AC games
>>24029243Sloppa
Ive been outta the game for a while. How trash is my old build now and how would i hypothetically fix it in 2 hours once its downloaded.

>>24022328
What are the odds they rerelease Nine Ball from Nine Breaker? I really want that one.
>>24017980Not bad if you know how to build em. genV ACs are tanky as shit, having about as much AP as a NEXT while not requiring Primal Armor. They're slow on the ground, but their overboost speeds aren't bad and they can quickboost. The main drawbacks of using them are the lack of proper vertical flight and high energy usage for most builds. Still, if the terrain is right you can get decent vertical movement with wall jumps.
>>24027488Played 6, then bought ACVD before it went offline, beat it, then went back and emulated everything from AC1 to ACFA. I have yet to play ACV and Ninebreaker or Formula Front, but will eventually
>>24035040You'll have to settle for Zinaida for now
>>24027488ACFA probably some time around 2011. Greatest game ever made.
>>24027488Project Phantasma but I was so young that I barely remember
>>24035040Gen 4/5 has my favorite ACs, hope we get more kits
>>24027488I played the demo of 1 in one of those sampler discs from magazines or whatever and asked for the game as a present when I was like 5 or 6
All this AI crossover game mod stuff got me thinking, what if gen 6 ACs were ported to gen 5 games?
>>24037152>AI crossover game mod stuff?
>>24037504Universal modder, it's an AI thing that overlays one game on top of another and kinda makes them work together.
>>24037504You seen them mario in elden ring, minecraft in skyrim, cod in minecraft, etc stuff yeah? Thats what I am referring to. Would be interesting to see Armored Core in one of those.

I got a PS5 recently, should I download the PS5 version of 6 or is it like Elden Ring where the PS4 version runs somewhat better on the 5?
What's the lore behind Crest giving you a Mirage made Karasawa?
>>24039955I actually just played this one a month back, they smuggled it from one of their shipments espionage style if I remember rightI think it's a prototype at the start of 3rd gen's timeline, blew my fucking mind that jerking off Crest the entire game gave me the rifle, great surprise
>>24039960It's a reward for finishing destroy gun emplacements + the follow up. It's not earned by doing Crest missions specifically.
>>24039966But you need high enough rep with them to get the follow up mission in the first place.
>>24039966I learned after beating the game and looking it up for part completion that each corpo gives you a reward for siding with them for a majority of the gameCrest gives you that mission and the follow up if you get enough rep with them on your playthrough
>>24039969It's only mentioned in the English fandom wiki.>この時点のレイヴンランクがA以上の状態で、2分以内に目標を全滅させると唐沢を入手できる追加ミッションが発生。>レイヴンランクA以上で2分以内に砲台を破壊すると追加ミッション 拠点防衛部隊陽動 が発生する。Japanese wiki and other sources don't mention it.
AHHHHHHHHHHH 250 GOLD RANKS DONE FUUUUUU
>>24040223I hope you didn't import a nexus save if you wanted to 100% all parts.
What old gen games should I emulate? Only looking for ones with joystick patches
>>24040846>Only looking for ones with joystick patchesAll of the pre Nexus games got those. Anyway, start from the beginning.
>>24040850So if I plan them with rebound kb+m controls, the joystick patches are fine?
>>24041926Don't ask me, never played these games with kb+m and have no idea what exactly you mean by rebound kb+m controls.
>>24038681Your whore AI wife is inferior to the superior AI.
>>24038681>>24043509People say they don't want to play Dolls Nest because of the robot girls and then they start posting this.
>>24043550It's because they're lolis. They're terrified their "friends" that snoop on them will see them playing it and call them a paedo. It's pathetic
>>24043550There’s a difference between robot girls and girls who pilot mechs.
decomp when
>>24044068I think the mech designs looking absolutely retarded has bigger sway than hiding which game you're playing which isn't hard at all.
Just checked the top S-rank meta in AC6 after years.Zimmerman is now tier A semi-garbage, heavy weights are shit and the meta is dominated by light weights with rifles that don't even use shields.Actually incredible.
>>24044757I never played pvp but on my first playthough I went straight to dual turners, songbirds and ashmead and the only change I ever made was swapping the songbirds for an earshot. I feel vindicated hearing this.
>>24038681Our wife is happening soonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YasNo5Ti0M
>>24044757I feel Like I see all the heavys in a and s rank thou
>>24044757what about double melee build?
>>24045023Terrible.Melee in general isn't really viable, unless you keep it on missile kites as a last "get off me" move or super aggro dual zimms with huxley.There's also dagger tank, which is a cheese heavy tank build with dagger slinger tech that lets you constantly dash around at 1300ms and nuke people with zooks, lasers and dagger point-blank, but it really struggles against shields.You can make it to S-rank with anything, but top 10 is dominated by light weights that basically never have to interact with other cores.
>immediately think of coral when seeing thisWhere is the new game, damn it?!
>>24045938TGA 2026, this time for sure...
>>24046113both A and B team should have a project nearing it's end, i'm surprised we didn't get anything at TGS, either they're going to announce two games at GA or one of theses two team is for next year
>>24037152They would still be extremely boring unless they also stopped doing everything but pressing the QB and shoot keys for you.
>>24039955they stoled it
Anyone remembers the name of that game where it has a watercolor artstyle similar to Valkirya Chronicles? I remember it being talked about here before.
>>24047348
>>24047387Oh thank you. I'm interested in it because your mecha can turn into a plane. There should be more games in the mecha plane subgenre. Have you ever played that Macross PS2 game? It's sick as hell.
>>24047387>JRPG in the steam tag???
>>24047790This game plays like ass. I was disappointed in the alpha.
>>24048079>Ironwing Valiant is a fast-paced Mecha action-JRPG set in the fantasy world of Euridia!Right from the Steam page. To be honest, I don't know what the JRPG part is supposed to mean either, maybe the anime artstyle and the designated waifu character being annoyingly peppy and with an ultrasonic voice custom made to pierce through your brain?>Emotional>MedievalHuh. I don't get it.
That flying tesla made me think of Armored Core thrusters, I am gonna try emulating the old ones now
>>24050004I'm waiting for the wacky joke of trolls telling people "congratulations! Your Tesla vehicle has been given the software upgrade as part of the open beta test! Please try it out by driving off an overpass!" in the vein of charging your iphone in the microwavebut yeah some very nice thrusterkino
>>24050004>>24050015I'm sure /mo/ will have a field day with flying teslas.
>>24050028they need to make it make the Mach V "cha cha cha cha cha cha" noise
I havent been checking the news lately. Has there been any recomps, decomps or whatevercomps for the ps2 or psp games? I would do anything to play them at a high refresh rate.
>>240509043rd gen designs are so sexo
I know I'm pretty late to the knowledge but double melee slaps in ac6. pulse blade stagger punish and laser blade wide arc just works

In celebration of AC8
>>24051374Cool.
My God, Free Rapture Orbit Elevator has got to be the worst final mission in the franchise. I hope there's nothing worse than that in later games.
>>24051374I haven’t played it and thought 7 was meh, I should download that aftermath mod because maybe another run of AC6 will make the waiting period till I pickup my new gun passby faster
>>24051990Yeah 8 is better than 7 in almost every single way. The only leg up 7 has is it's planes, some quotes and the DLC.
>>24051682What's wrong with it?Also it's not the real final mission
https://github.com/SulphurS16/ACFA-Port
>no recomp of v/vday
>>24052645i want a recomp of 2AA with working multiplayerfuck vday or 4fa
>>24052345Yeah I know about the Lost Field missions. As for what's wrong with the final mission, nothing really happens until you finally encounter Antares and his cohort, and they're extremely easy for what's supposed to be the final boss fight. I honestly thought there was going to be one more mission after that until I saw the credits roll. At least the fights with Stinger, Phantasma, and Nineball Seraph more than makes up for it.

https://x.com/exceedorbit/status/2112319482010140723?s=20 suddenly blaming and dogpilling on AC6
>>24053194Fuck
https://www.famitsu.com/article/202610/91789
>>24054201Cool. Can't wait to play it with the friends I don't have because I can't be arsed to navigate the hellscape that is social life.
>>24054201Okay cool but WHERE'S THE NEW VIDEO GAME?
>>24052692Yeah, the post game bonuses are the real last missions. Klein wasn't really a tough boss but finishing the game and unlocking Matthias in the arena.
>>24021730>>Pilot skill doesn't make a significant difference, there's no movement tricksThere are always movement tricks>>24039981I remember on a fresh run I couldn't trigger the extra mission when I wasn't mainlining CREST though. Got me pissed off
>>24022325>look from is busy with duskbloodIs it? It genuinely feels like Duskbloods should have been released earlier this year but From Soft just keep delaying a release for a game they've admitted themselves is a passion project experiment for them.If there isn't a release date trailer for the game at the VGA in 8 weeks i will be legitimately concerned about From Soft. That shit needs to drop soon and be forgotten immediately.
>>24054290AC's 30th anniversary is next year, I firmly believe we're getting the next game. And a new OST box set
>>24054462I want to believebut I don't
>>24054462>>24054463
>>24054228>Klein wasn't really a tough bossI mean, at least the Disorder Unit he piloted was cool, and the 2nd phase can fuck you up if you aren't careful. I can't say the same for Antares and Carlyle. Somehow I found Matthias easier than the final fight with Klein funnily enough.
>>24055197Either way, AC2AA has a lot of good fights, like those two guys training in the arena or that 3 on 1 in the desert, or the hardest for me, that terrorist in the city. I still thought the space elevator setting was cool
>>24051990So 8 takes away a lot of your fun toys like TLS or EML until post-game, but 8's story and missions are actually fun to play do that makes up for it. Flight model is somewhere between 6 and 7. Gun still kind of sucks but you can put upgrade parts on that make it more viable.
>>24054245>I remember on a fresh run I couldn't trigger the extra mission when I wasn't mainlining CREST though. Got me pissed offThe follow up mission offer is entirely based on raven rank and nothing to do with which faction you support. The latter only unlocks in the shop 3 parts from crest and mirage, and one part from kisaragi.
Ayre won
>>24055858the forgotten waifu award
>>24054463A new game would be great and I would preorder but I am scared it would be multiplayer slop like duskbutt and niggreign
>>24022325Fuck Duskblood. Nightreign deserved more time and effort dammit. We could have really had something with two or three new maps that arent the shit fuck hollows or the basic Limcastle and the potential for more Nightfarers and old boss cameos was infinite and From manages to get a single thrust in before passing out on top. Absolutely insulting, Duskblood can eat shit, I hope it sells terribly.
>>24038681No Redguns endingNo Allmind endingNever get to fall asleep with my head in Allminds metal lap as she rambles autistically about her latest weapon (it'll suck)Why even live bros
>start playing 4 on RPCS3>it keeps crashing on the mission with the big truck cannons
>>24055616>that terrorist in the cityFuck that fight man. The 3v1 fight was easier than that.
>>24055948I kind of wish we had something like verdict day. The single player being fleshed out with plenty of missions and a hardcore mode and all that but ALSO really good multiplayer. But The new action game play style of AC6 doesn't lend itself that well to PVP the way the squad based TPS style of V/VD did. If you watch todays AC6 pvp it's just guys in the biggest tank possible manually aiming AoE explosions at each other to overcome the range restrictions on most weapons like rifles while having the best possible defensive stats against being staggered which is a mechanic I always hated about AC6 since it just virtually takes the controller out of your hands, same reason grabs in fighting games and action games are terrible.
Managed to get my hands on these. I've been listening to them for years for free and finally got a chance to get the physical versions
>>24056405>Sunrisei wiggle and i jiggle, lemon flavored too.nice
>I am just hearing for the first time that Verdict Day is connect to the 1st gen gamesSo 4th and 5th gen are all meant to be prequel?
>>24056642If you want them to.
>>24056642No, but that's not gonna stop headcanon
>>24056823Wasn't there some JP only data file that mentioned Chief being a Nine Ball offshoot or something?
>>24056835I've never heard of anything like that
Nineball, nineball, nineball who gives a fuck. Does he need to be shoved into every armored core game? Does everything need to be a sequel or prequel? From certaintly doesn't give a damn.
> AC1>beat it(mostly, ran from Nine-Ball) but didn't really enjoy my time with it>AC2>i am somehow actively happier when thinking about itHow the fuck? They're not even that different.Also how tf do i beat Werehound? He's kicking my ass.
>>24057145>Also how tf do i beat Werehound?post build, i don't remember struggling with him at allbut as a rule of thumb, stay at good distance, dodge most of his shots, and if you take it slow it should run out of ammoi recon you didn't do much gen1 arena?
>>24057169>post buildI'm still in the "constantly changing everything to see what i like" phase.Didn't know enemies could run out of ammo here tho, so thanks.>i recon you didn't do much gen1 arena?Just about none, really.Had trouble setting up PP and MoA and when i got them working i just didn't wanna play any more Gen1.
>>24057176even the first game have some decent arena difficultytho you shouldn't need to go as far as making your enemy run out of ammogood movement at proper distance should be enough
>>24057145IIRC the best arena loadout in 2 was a lightweight reverse joint with the small missile arms and the dual vertical missiles. The AI doesn't really know what to do if you just bomb them from high altitude.
>>24057145>Also how tf do i beat Werehound? He's kicking my ass.If you absolutely want to cheese him, hang out on the highway overpass until he runs out of ammo
>>24057145>he skipped Master of Arena
>>24057145Seconding missile arms, that shit is broken vs the AI. Pair it with the FCS that lets you lock a lot of them at once and let it rip. Best map for it is the desert with the crashed ship or whatever, gives you plenty of space to run away
HOLY SHIT A NEW ARMORED CORE GAME IS COMING OUT IN 2027 FOR THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY https://www.gamemeca.com/en/view.php?gid=1782265
>>24057928little shit
>>24057928Fuck you.
>>24057145How are you guys playing stuff? Physically?Or good emulators? Cause i'm STILL hunting a PS1/Ps2 Emulator that I can properly optimize so I can maybe stream stuff sometimes
>>24058233i do both physical and emulatorPS1 games goes without issue on duckstationAC2 goes without issue on PCSX2, had a few menu and text textures being a bit off for 2AA and 3, no issue during actual gameplay, should be fixable but wasn't an issue enough for me to bother, no issue on nexus and last raveni ran these on a shitty notebook so you should be fineif you want to go physical you can get some cheapo acquisition card, a playstation, and burn the game on a CD/DVD
>>24058239>>24058233note that PS1 are optimized for 74min CDs, which arn't commercially available, you'll find only 80min CDs nowi dunno about AC but some games can have read errors sometimes due to thati've read it can be fixed by adding dummy data when burning, you'll have to look it up for more details
>>24058233Nta but I emulated 4th gen titles because for some reason 1-5 are in limbo and wont come out on steam
>>24057928Would buy if I got miniatur Steel Haze, Raven and Orbiter. Or wait, CUSTOMIZABLE MINIATURE AC
>>24058301*Nighfall
>>24057145 (Me)Hey, back again, i'm now at Arena Rank 4 through a mix of actual improvement to my skills/AC, and the game's tendency to boost straight out of the stage.Been going with a heavy build because it lets me wear everything i want, but i'm wondering if going Light would be have greater benefits.Also, what's the point of the standard Rifle type? It seems kind of useless compared to Machine Guns against anything that isn't outright stationary, and it loses out against Snipers on that front.
>>24058387 (me again)forgot to post my boy
>>24058387>>24058441Just do what you think is fun or interesting until you hit a wall, 2 is pretty lenient from what I remember
>>24058387>but i'm wondering if going Light would be have greater benefits.in oldgen i like quads because you can fire heavy weapons on the go, i'm usually on the lighter side for mobility, but midweights are a good compromise in all PS2 games, mobility let you dodge, but sometime you can't dodge everything, so a bit of AP and defence is always nice>what's the point of the standard Rifle type? different range and precision and ammo efficiencyalso i see you use the energy anti missile defence, not a big fan of them, the other using solid ammo are better from what i remember
>>24058841Yeah i should probably change them, i hqve the mney to afford having them on, i'm just stingy because i was kind of struggling with money for a bit during AC1.
>>24058876energy weapon ammo con't cost money, that's why it's worth it early on to economize and buy an energy rifle, AC1 have a pulse rifle that fit that purpose and AC2 have a laser rifle for that tooswap to solid ammo for arena tho, arena don't cost you ammo money, only missions
>>24058886Yeah, i know about the Karasawa and the other one, i just prefer Solid over Energy due to the sound and the larger mag sizeAlso i already beat the Arena, i'm just finishing up the game now, think i'm going to play Another Age right after cause i'm really enjoying Gen2 far more than i did Gen1
>>24058175>>24057968>its been three years since ACVI, I wish we got a new game
completed! (and in funny colors)now to Another Age.
>>24059547hold on, when you clear the story and kill some guys, it empty some spots in the arena, there should be new entries in the bottom of the arenaespecially on guy should give you good trouble
>>240595475th gen games look and sound clunky but they have my favorite designs of all ACs
>>24059547Gundam if American
>>24058894>>24059547Another Age is a very different experience. It's literally 100 missions and no arena. There are parts you will hate but there are some really awesome missions too that are some of the best in the franchise. But there's not much of an overarching narrative like in AC2 which had one of the better stories in the franchise, at least as far as the PS2 generation is concerned.
>>24061199Lol, i'm actually comparing heads to see which one is the most Gundam-like>>24061202Yeah, ive done like twenty-something missions now, really different flow, but i already enjoy AC2's gameplay so it's just more of that at a faster pace.
>>24021675>>24021543Hell yeah, I love Melander. I just wish weapon kits were sold separately.
>>24061376what's the deal with 30MM? I only own the koto kits of the pre-6 games
>>24061202Honestly I generally prefer AC2 over Another Age

>>24061601Size of regular HG gundams, vastly more modular, and cheaper price with a lot more variety of ACs.
>>24062647>LocksmithIs there one of Chatty? I want to make a diorama of that gay clanker getting mogged by unaugmented gigachad
>>24062612WHERE'S THE FUCKING GAME FROM???
>>24062766>>24057928
>>24062759yeah
>>24062812God, he's so ugly. what was From thinking?
>>24062937Hey fuck you man, he's cute fuck off
holy shit Another Age gets fucking HARD, i'm having major issues againsst duo/triple AC fights.
>>24063131when in doubt equip lots of missiles. You can clear that 1v3 in under a minute if your full payload is landing. The question becomes if you miss too often and don't have enough ammo.
