Where are my AC vets at? You guys are real fans right? You didn't only play AC6 while considering yourself a fan I hope? Real fans know about pic related.
>>750599810>Real fans know about pic related.Real fans got all golds in Nine Breaker.
>>750599810>lamo 2nineballWhat fucking horseshit was that. Also the old games are whatever.
>>750599810is that a heckin touhou reference??
>>750599810I'm an AC vet, I've been actively playing since 6 but i also played a few hours of 4 before dropping it
>>750600406>Also the old games are whatever.You mean way better than the overrated Souls-like slop that they turned AC6 into. The first game alone is way better than that weightless piece of trash baby game.
>>750600361Any "real fan" that played Nine Breaker when it was new was a massive retard. You literally paid full price for half a game.
>>750599810I didn't only play 6. In fact I haven't played it at all, I only played 4A and got filtered by the final level of the chaos route. "Heh... lap dog..." is permanently seared into my memory at this point. Does that count?
>>750600523>AWOUGGOUGHGOUGHuh shut the fuck up. No one cares. Played 6 and beat it too.
>>750600446
>>750599810Are there any new games with gameplay similar to the older AC games? The only one I know is Dolls Nest.
>>750599810I beat the Gen 1 and the Gen 3/NX ones. I stabbed the horror at the end of LR Portable and laughed as it died.
>>750600523Gen2 maybe, but Gen1? Fuck no.
>>750600978I heard it was pretty woke though
>>750601308Way to much talking in this.
>>750601308Who told you that?It's just AC on crack with Gundam references.
>>750601595>It's just AC on crackload of shitits the lamest version of ac at home you could imagine
>>750599810Played the entire series, 6 is the best
>>750601595>Who told you that?/v/
>>750601676I meant in terms of speed.
>>750600523Armored Core 1's final level is probably the most rage inducing pile of shit I have ever played and it singlehandedly makes it the worst game in the series.
>>750599810For Answer, 3, Silent Line and 6 are the only actually good Armored Core games. The rest are either extremely forgettable (PP, MoA, 2, AA, 4, 5, VD) or extremely unforgettable for the wrong reasons (1, LR, NB)
>>750599810I played the ps1 games on demo disks, do I count?
ppop
>>750601943Seriously, no idea why they tought two Nine-Balls inside of an anal rectum was a good idea.
>>750600523Gen 1 is fun, but I'll still give 6 a look.Also, it's pretty damn hilarious how broken you can get in the old AC games. The Moonlight can instakill ACs if you hit them midair.Gen 1 even had its own Giantdad, which the japs called "Devigun" after the Devil Gundam. It consists of:>the HD-G780 head (the big one with Gundam horns)>the XXA-S0 core (the one that kinda looks like a car from the front)>the AN-3001 arms (the big ones with round pauldrons, which are also the ones people used for noclipping through walls)>and the LN-2KZ-SP legs (the "crow feet" that were super nimble and could hold a lot of weight for their size)That combo made a sturdy and super agile AC that was nigh-unbeatable back in the day.
>>750601943AC1's final level is pure kino. More mecha games should have level design that actually makes you think about your part choices rather than being just open spaces and corridors.
>>750601096Nigger, they play the same.
>>750602285No they don't.
>>750602336Actually play these games.
>>750601943>he can't platform with tank controlsWay to expose yourself as a shitter casual
>>750601943Just use the GBG-XR (gold reactor) and a strong booster like the B-T001. I just boost all the way to the top of the room with the cubes without even landing on any of them.On Nine-Ball, don't fight him inside the tubes. Lure him out and cut him down with your blade, he won't be able to do much in tight spaces with no verticality. That's how I kicked both his asses.
>>750602048It really was not that hard though. You even get a grace restore/replenish part way through the mission
>>750601756The lack of tank controls ruined the game. It really is no different from any other action game.
AC's are the coolest mecha in all of vidya and any media out there period
>>750602552>The lack of tank controls ruined the gameAlso all the whacky wahoo action game physics like being able to magically float in midair because certain firing stance animations demands it.
>>750602552i played with tank legs so thats not true
>>750600676>got filtered lol. Seems someone got Arteria Carpals'd.
>>750602212>AC1's final level is pure kino.Exactly not sure why these anons think it was bad. They were probably hoping for some epic final boss fight with thematic music like AC6.
>>750602796I haven't played AC6, i just found the sudden platforming out of nowhere pretty bad and the overall design of the place really annyoing to navigate despite ot really just being straight corridors
>>750601943>Armored Core 1's final level is a pain in the assTrue->That's why it's the worst in the seriesThat's not Nexus.
>>750599810
>>750599810How can a man reasonably beat occupation of arteria carpals on hard mode. I can barely do it on normal.
>>750600563Yeah visiting Ninebreaker it felt like the most title update game I've ever played that wasn't a fighting game. Shame too, because VR Missions Armored Core sounds cool, but it overstayed it's welcome. Also the only game in the series to fuck you in the ass if you imported a save without buying EVERYTHING in Nexus. I couldn't imagine buying it back than and being satisfied unless I was a holding local Armored Core tournaments every other week. Which obviously wasn't the fucking case.
Best gen?3rd Gen
>>750603247https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCt31W7yUUk
I feel I achieved something having had Nine Breaker as my first AC game followed by actually 100%ing Last Raven.
>Xenoblade shitpost thread>Armored Core 6 shitpost thread>exact same posters in both of themYou guys are such fags
I found both the old games and 6 to be very fun.
Getting there
>>750604670Are you playing with the default control setup?
Every time someone posts their AC gameplay, it's like watching a retarded child trying to strangle a fish.
>>750601846>I meant in terms of speed.>in terms of speed>speedNIGGA PLEASE.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq-Ode4rvrIAnd that's not counting the "Maiden of the Rhine" quad legs video.
>>750604902im shooting fish in a barrel holy shit its been 3 years
>>750602048The second one is really easy to kill tho
>>7506044906 was most fun when youre just skating around and mercing trash mobs
What's your opinion on Blades getting an actually usable lock-on in 4 and 6? There was some of it in LR and was actually effective if not exactly obvious in Silent Line/3 but I always felt that until 4 it was just a reserve weapon to deal with MT heavy missions while being nearly useless against ACs.
>>750604883What other options are there?
>>750600523It's cool.
>>750606025Classic controls with r1 l1 for strafing, widely regarded as the sane option, like using Expert controls in the other AC series.
>>750602064>heavy core on light legsevil statue ahh
>>750604490What the FUCK.
>>750605310Gen 4 isn't AC.
>>750599810i only played armored core 1i'm not a real fanhustler one is a nigger, and a cheaterTOTAL AI DEATH
>>750605805FROM had a hell of a time actually getting the blade lock on working for a few generations before dropping it for a few generations before reintroducing it again. 4 wasn't great because the game speed glitched things out to the point where it would even desync and lag over LAN connections, so lagblading was the premier way to play that way online which led to extreme edgelords talking about how well they studied the blade. 6 was better in that regard due to it playing more like an action game where they could just have your AC get whiplash and turn around on a whim to perform the attack but then you're dealing with 6 playing more like a mech flavored action game than what came before.So, for the most part, as you said, it generally played out as an infinite ammo weapon for use in really really really long missions.
>>750606273Right lets post some real AC
Yo, i'm the guy that was shitting on AC1 like a week or two ago if anyone remembers me.it really was just an age issue, i loved AC2 and i'm currently halfway(i think) through Another Age.here's my guy, tried to make a lighter build but every actually good part is so heavy that i just keep making him a tank, only reason i haven't given him gun-arms is that the Moonlight is insane.
>>750606273What is it then?
>ac6 got no dlc
>>750606456Quite a few good parts are light. The lightest arms for example are notable in that they're the best blading arms in the game given they have a whopping 135 energy supply (translating into 35% extra damage on your blade swipes. The light RJs also have insanely good turn speeds.
>>750604436Huh? I don't even play Xenoblade
>>750601308It's not woke, it's just completely incoherent. It's OK. Like 6/10 gameplay with some indy jank charm if you're into that. IIRC the controls feel pretty good, but the guns themselves are anemic and the sweet spot 'optimum range' mechanic was balls. The reboot, Titanic Scion is also a mess with a completely fucked story but kind of a fun mess if you're into zooming around an open world in an exo.
>>750607160TS should've never went exo suit. WTF were the devs smoking. And some of the legacy weapons that should've been one handed turned into 2 handed useless shits.
>>750601308DxM was boring and I dropped it, never picked up doll nest because I don’t wanna play as a girl and most G6 copies on steam are still demos
>>750606456why did you hate AC1 again?
>>750606456From needs to make a tank game as their next game
>>750602371Gen 2 is slow and boring
>>750599810https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SaX1yT2Uu4MY BALLSDESTROYMY BALLS
>>750606764Fromsoftware is a Souls company now. Armored Core is just not good enough for them anymore. They want the roll audience.
>>750607469i didn't exactly "hate" it ( i wouldn't have beaten it and played AC2) but i just plain wasn't having that much fun and enjoying the process of making an AC and looking at it more than actually using it.
>>750602048You're not meant to fight them
>>750607160Wasn't it supposed to be a Switch exclusive? Funny how these things often never last.
>>750606456>>750607880did you play Phantasm and MoA? I enjoyed those more than regular AC1.Also you fucked up if you didn't just cheat with human+. Its too cool and there's too many ACs to not take advantage of it the one time they had the gimmick.
>>750608061>Wasn't it supposed to be a Switch exclusive?Naw. NTA but I got it for PC. I wanted to give TS the benefit of doubt.
>>750608076>did you play Phantasm and MoA?nah, i just didn't really find it in me to keep at it with Gen 1.>Human Plusused it in AC1, but decided not to use it in 2 since i wasn't really struggling with it and didn't feel like i actually needed it.
>>750599810I tried Armored Core 1 and got quite a few missions in but in the end it filtered me. 6 is the only one I've completed. I would like to take another crack at an older entry, but I don't know which.
I used to get mad at LR about all the AC fights being all Human Plussed up their ass but then I got gud.
>>750608061>Wasn't it supposed to be a Switch exclusive?No, it just got announced on a nintendo direct.
>>750599810AC 6 is a cheating bastard game. Enemies with infinite boost for enemies and better gear than the player is giving at the point they are fought. Opponents never lose lock on yet you do constantly. Opponents have infinite ammo yet you do not.Enemies read inputs like its MK2
>>750608668I wish they kept Human+ as a fun way to enjoy the game even more after getting all the endings or something. But no we get the fucking thematic weapon with shitty damage.
>>750608632Armored Core 3 is a great spot to start with. Not too difficult and it actually has an arena (introduced with Project Phantasma in the PS1 days) so you can actually get some credits without risk of losing money.
>>750608668isn't that the case with most ACs? the strongest pilots are always newtypes shooting sword beams at your ass in the older games
>>750609108It was mostly because you couldn't also get it in LR.
are there any AC games youi DON'T like?
>>750610769uhh ac mobile 1
>>7506107695th gena crime against the series and mech games in general
>>7506107694
>>750610951Yeah it seems a majority consensus did not like ACV due to the multiplayer focus is what I usually see mentioned. It also does look like a fairly ugly muddy game.
So Ayre was a villain right? Right?
>>750611246no just a homesick techno anomaly. worse thing she does is help c621 kill other ac pilots
Waiting for a good AC gen 1 recompilation. I played AC1 like 4 times but I want the whole trilogy which I only played once
>>750612083I thought there was a pc port?
>>750610769No. At least not compared to the average shit games.Yeah ACV sucked but even that still had a few kino missions.Nineballs? I liked the ideaFormula Front? still a good idea and it made sense on the PSP.
>>750599810god i hope the next game brings back ac1-2 speeds and combat. death to jet with wings niggers.
>>750608783ac6 is literally the fourth easiest game in the series behind 4/4a/and vd. if you got filtered in this baby shit game your not ready to play real armored core.
>>750612165I didn't see it and I doubt it's actually doing something interesting like removing the 20fps limit.
>AC6 is the best selling AC game>its not going to get a direct sequel like all the ones before it didPretty fascinating when you think about it. Makes you wonder if they see it as a failure despite it outselling the older games. Its probably not enough for modern Fromsoftware that expects higher sales margins from their games.
>>750612389no, japs are just artisans of leaving money on the table. From even said it sold way better than they expected it to and wanted to keep making games, but sucking off elden niggers is more important apparently.
>>750612083ever hear of emulation
>>750610769Everything after Last Raven.
>>750612460This company used to love making these games though. It used to be their identity before they found their new toys in the Souls formula. They clearly changed as a company. If it was as successful as it needed to be we would already have gotten at least word on a new game at this point or a simple expansion DLC of some sort.
I really appreciate the mission variety in gen 1 AC, even if the missions themselves are kinda hit or miss. Even project phantasma had some cool ideas for missions, though the "story" is kind of a joke.
>>750612271idk about that champ, s ranking stages on hard in 4A is harder than AC1, to say nothing of silent line just being easy in general.
>>750610769i despise 5th gen, scan mode makes everything monochrome (oh wait out of that everything is brown anyway!), the armor system sucks, the junkyard asethetics suck, the weapon system sucks
>>750612562I'm done with 20 frames per seconds when we can now have 1000+fps console games, it's only a matter of time
>>750612858AA also had some neat ones. Still love the one where you're blowing up cargo planes midflight and have to leap off the one you just blew up to fall to the next one.
>>750613287if your computer is that old a recomp isnt going to save you
>>750613503Not what that anon meant. PS1 AC is completely tied to 23 fps. Similar to how the vibecoded 4/FA "recomp" didnt do shit to actually fix the problems of going above 60, so you get stupidly high damaging explosions and other issues.
>>750613847doubt it
>>750613373Does another age suffer from the issue the second game has where all the missions are just small arenas? I liked the dungeon crawling aspect of the PS1 games.
>>750613998another age suffers from having terrible weapon balance and constantly running out of ammo, actually weird how different it is from base 2
>>750613503Damn, are you retarded?>>750613847At least the AC4 decomp stutters less and I play it so often it's nice to have a ""port"" I don't have to get worried about everytime RPCS3 updates and fucks something up.It's an improvement even on my 7800X3D.
>>750614050>another age suffers from having terrible weapon balance and constantly running out of ammo,Either this is already a thing in 2 or I have played poorly through it.
>>750613998Nah they're pretty big, they instead suffer from the issue that they're clearly trying to pad out the game to compensate for the lack of story, so a lot of missions are just the same thing again but slightly different, or repeat an area from another mission.
>>750614117it's worse in another age
>>750614109I'm not the one who's never heard of emulation.
>>750614109You can literally just have a separate copy of RPCS3 of the version 4/FA work fine on.
>>750614421you must be a bot.
>>750612983
I'm about to play AC1 again /v/ros. What's a fun build I should make?
>>750612083I'd like to see one for the Gen 3 games, both the ones in PS2 and PSP, so we can finally get a version with all the parts, including those that were cut in Nexus like the howitzers and the weapon variants.Such a version would also make it possible to do things that couldn't be done in the consoles, like proper game mods that add more parts. There's a lot of parts Shoji-sama and the others designed that were never modeled, or were stuck as NPC-only parts (like the Rusyana/Kisaragi ACs).
>>750615724Wait there is a PSP Armored Core game?
>>750616073Yeah. They're more like ports. Practically all Gen 3 games except Nexus and NB were ported to the PSP. They even had parts unique to those versions.
>>750615405quad leg laser build
>>750616073Continuation of >>750616125Speaking of mods, Some of Shoji's other designs, like the ones he made for BattleTech back in the day would more than fit in AC, like this Commando.
>>750616136I used to like doing this in AC6. In fact it became probably my top 3 favorite builds to run with because it was insanely strong but also looked quite cool while it was doing it. Quad legs and four big ass laser guns to destroy shit with. These AC games give a sense of power and creativity that few games can truly match. Its like you are encouraged to find op shit and feel no guilt in doing so. Real gamer type games. I wish the industry still understood games are supposed to be fun first and foremost. Sometimes it is okay to be ridiculously powerful.
>>750616630yea it is. ti like using rocket launcher builds
>>750612389What pisses me iff is they coulda done a multiplayer asset flip and I still woulda bought it, I hope duskbloods flops
>>750616125>>750616574I guess if they are only ports I wouldn't feel too bad skipping them. I was hoping more for a unique experience even though I would imagine these games could be a pain to control with the handheld.
>>750599810i got to the last mission of chapter 2 of ac for answer and i feel like i've got to relearn the game from scratchi can avoid white glint but he can avoid me just as good. i'm sure i can get a lucky strike with enough attempts but it never feels good to win like that, like the cube fight in the arena where i got him to kill himself eventually. i do think it was intended there as he was pushing me towards the edge consistently so i just circled around, but it felt bad to pass his fight like thati'm having a lot of fun with the game
>>750619261should I play 4 first and port the save over to for answer?
>>750611246>Ayre's solution not only doesn't kill everybody but actually brings literally everyone who died across the story back to lifeNo.I really don't think she meant to do that either but she obviously wasn't evil.
>>750619420transfering data to For Answer only gives you cosmetics since you're canonically a different guy five years after the events of 4.
>>750599810still have this gif after so many years.
Honestly surprised they did put character creation and online bs in AC6, seems like a natural evolution(and DxM did it)
>>750614874thanks for your concession
>>750620423Kek
thank God I don’t have whatever form of autism it is that makes people hate AC6I played the old games growing up and I am so glad I finally got a new AC to playFromsoft is the only dev I still look forward to getting games from, no clue what is wrong with everyone else
DeestrooyNiiineeebaaal
>>750599810in my heart dun dun dun
>>750599810i like 2
>>750621038They will in ac7 just like ace combat 8
>>750604490YOU CAN’T FUCKING SAY THAT!!!
