post AC, emblem, any gen, your favorite MT, anything
>>22912921
>>22912954This is outdated but alrighty. The idea was Yellow for Mid/Normal, Red for Heavy, Blue for light.
>>22912954my new AC has been unironically LOADER 4 because i've been running it on Defend the Old Spaceport, it's a very funny challenge run
>>22912915have they fixed pistols being cancer dick aids yet?
>>22912982>>22912934
>>22912970That yellow hurts my eyes. Change it to orange or green if you will.
>>22912982
>>22912954>post (...) anythingNo u.
They don't make giant super computers that cool anymore.
>>22913001isn't it already light orange?
>>22913013i forgot about these 80's style super computers, that stuff is kino
>>22912954I'm currently debating with myself as to whether to go for another full playthrough or not. Armoury got some cool stuff now but maybe if I hold out for another few months, it maybe will have more cool stuff or at least some more polish. Maybe. Maybe in a few months I will remember the game less and thus enjoy reexperiencing it more. Maybe. Maybe in the next few months a dlc or sequel will be announced, giving me an external reason to either pick the game up again or wait for more fresh content that it's inevitably coming. Maybe. Maybe.
After pirating this game I was worried if I could copy my save to steam for the legitimate purchase. Now I have S-ranked every mission at leat 5 times, even shit like coral export denial. I wish there was more to do, but I guess that's kind of impossible given how concise the game is. You can they really put thought into this game by how the story is actually striking a nice balance between ambiguity and just plain good storytelling. I hope that whatever comes next won't go the same route as souls, becoming more and more homogenized with standard mainstream gaymes with a community that handwaves every retarded decission as "Quality of Life". My biggest fear would be an open-world ac.
>>22912954
What's the appeal of an AC that isn't the lightest thing possible? I don't get it.
>>22913216Strutting.
>>22912915I look like that.
thinking about quadlegs, they realy where at their best in gen1-2, and you could even argue about gen2, while they're great on paper their limit weight realy limit build possibilities compared to bipeds and reverse jointsand as for gen6 they're only good for kites so i wouldn't call them good at all
>>22913246you can get fairly competent brawler builds out of AC6 quads since hover mode lets you fire stance weapons without a drastic loss of mobilityhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLlaIPSLkgIi'd be running a build like this myself but keeping track of hover mode for a rushdown build and also keeping track of a charge rifle seems too technical for my tastes
What are your biggest hopes for the inevitable sequel? Mine would be radiators and weapon arms, inside parts, shoulder extensions. Generally moving it closer to strategic and numeric complexity now that they've gained traction and a fresh audience.
>>22913302They're going to port it to UE5 and dumb it down further.
>>22913302Up the speed and real ranged options.
>>22913302more varied and competent enemy MTsconsort systemco-op versions of specific missionsmore parts that basically do the same shit as eachother but appeal to different aesthetic stylesbetter looking light and heavy biped leg optionsremoval of parry shieldsVD-style weapon armsOS tuning replaced with real tuning and/or option partsgreen/purple/white thruster flare generatorsgreen riflesniper rifleslightweight physical damage melee weaponslaser machine gunsparts frames designed as tanks/quads/rjs first and not as variants of biped framesreal arena + postgame data arenafurlong frame partslet player mission decisions influence which corpo wins the corpwarlet players buy stocks in corposprioritized in that order
>>22913302Sequel?You mean expansion right.
>>22913302I want more parts overall, like a proper lightweight frame from Balam or PCA parts; seeing as a single merc's AC was able to wipe out fleets of their ships, I'd think they would realize they're not as inferior as they initially thought. Also laser machine guns and back boosters.As for gameplay, I want for slowed regen in the air to not be a thing. I don't want to be grounded all the damn time.
>>22913302Remove Stagger barMore bullet hell enemies.
>>22913327>consort system>co-op versions of specific missionsa consort system like AC3 that let you bring either an AI piloted AC with a build you made or a friend
>>22913350like dragon's dogma 2? i feel like preset AIs wouldn't be able to handle the more unconventional buildsi think more stuff could be done with submitting AC like that though. you don't see peopled doing AC swap fights, imagine if there were a system that automated that that let you have swap or mirror matches without needing to actually download ACs
>>22913327I'm still holding out hope for missions designed around coop myself.
>>22913357>that thati need to get some shuteye jesus christ
>>22913364Don't worry about it english is a horrible fucking pigdin. So horrid even that sometimes saying 'that that' is grammatically correct.
>>22913357>like dragon's dogma 2no i mean that or a friend, not the friend's AIanyway you could recreate your friend's AI with the ability to share builds we already have
>>22912921>>22912962Based. Hang all coralniggers.
>>22912954>Just know how to kill, huh? Nothing else?>That's too bad. It's time for you and I to go our separate ways.
>>22913488it looks like it's ready to fight the Horned Serpent
>>22913014It looks yellow on my machine.
>>22913200>My biggest fear would be an open-world ac.And thus the monkey's paw curls. But seriously, I wouldn't mind a Fromsoft made open world mecha game, especially if it was an Escaflowne inspired spiritual sequel to Frame Gride. Didn't Miyazaki say at some point he wanted to do something like that?
>>22913350How about UNmanned Armored Core 2: Electric Boogaloo? Wasn't UNAC programming was basically a dev tool? From could just allow player to play with what they use again, it's already three.
>>22913561formula front programming was a dev tool, i'm not sure about VDi think modern fromsoft would be too afraid to give the player that much agency
>>22913013i know this is a bit off topic, but where can i see more of this 80's-90's giant supercomputer with an eventual evil AI on it?i suppose akira or lain would be right on the aesthetici need references
>>22912954Nice WUERGERs.
>>22913561They could do the AC:SL system of the player training it themselves
I wish I could restart a current playthrough without making a new save I'm like halfway through one but it's been months since I played so I wanna start from act 1 again
>>22913716Just play through the free missions up to the point you dropped it before.
>>22912921I have yet to see a full explenation of Snail's emblem and name. Every fucking Youtube fag misses some crucial point.I almost feel forced to become a ConTeNt cREatOr just to make one video explaining all that's going on. Like how faisu translates to both faith and face and how it references Baozhi (picrel) or how it references David Smail in keeping with the Vesper's obscure academic references. The only thing they seem to consistently get right is the Freud cranium thing which I gues makes most people go "cool, guess that's all they put into it." Like the fucking retards they are always assuming they know everything because they figured out one piece of the puzzle.
>>22914128Can you explain the vesper emblems for me ? t. retard
>>22914128Snail just likes purple and stone face emoji because it looks like VE-44A, simple as.
what was her problem?
>>22914157They killed her brother/boyfriend back in Nexus
>>22914161I wanted to chalk it up to female hysteria but is she really Agraya?
>>22914163
>>22914166Note: Zinovy=Genobee, "Mori Cador"=Mollycoddle
>>22913302More Ayre
>>22914166Interesting, thanks anon.Funny how Mollycoddle basically calls his AC "counterfeit" when trying to rip off Genobee, you would think he'd try to hide it.
>>22914157Typical power autist, seeking purpose in beating others.

Am I a retard or was a company that wasn't kotobukiya doing ACFA kits? I remember seeing something about Goodsmile or someone else doing Armored Core For Answer and 1st gen kits. Did I dream that? The kotobukiya kits are dogshit.
>>22914252I'm surprised Bandai hasn't cashed in on White Glint at the very least. Maybe they only have the license for 6?
been playing ac3 on the ps2. good game and becomes a lot easier to handle the closer you get to the ideal build for missions and arena
>>22914357should mention this is my first ac as well
>>22913302Omnidirectional overboosting like in Gen5
>>22914128>Emblemyou're overthinking it.All the Vespers except Rusty and Freud have symbols depicting Human Augmentation.Rusty doesn't because he's a double agent.Freud doesn't because he's unaugmented.>NameThat's an easy one.Salvador Dali has a quote that Sigmund Freud's head looks like a Snail.FreudSnail
>>22914432Not sure if you even understood my complaint but here you go:What I was on about was people (especially YTers) seem to see one reference and calling it a day, or even viewing further investigations and discoveries as somehow antagonistic to the one thing they dug up. In Snail's case there are clearly multiple references overlapping.If you can't see the parallels between the pic and the emblem, especially when the japanese approximation of faith and face are identical, which is an obvious play on words, then I can't help you. Seems clearly intentional.The Dali thing is known and I think I made it obvious.Since I am already typing this I guess I could add that Dali was known for using snails as motifs multiple times. and often merged spirals with human anatomy (again, picrel)Wether From is actually trying to tell us something other than showing of knowledge on art and literature, is up for debate. I always thought that the original names were supposed to be opposites of the character (Snail, materialistic, arrogant, treatorous <-> Buddhism, enlightment, asceticism)tl,dr: If you have trouble reading more than a 100 words you are either not really interested in the topic (fine) or are an impatient fuck. (not so fine)
>>22914462I just think you're overthinking it.The Vespers are all named after artists and philosophers IIRC.Freud should be the leader of the Vespers as V1, but Snail (Freud's head) is the actual leader.I don't think there's much more to analyze.
does any of you have a missions info graph for ACLR routes?
>destroy STRIDER>Seems kind of brash to attack the RLF's flagship this early>"Time for a little self-promotion, 621.">Get told exactly how to destroy it>It's actually super easy>"A fitting end for something built to fail.">NG++>Defend STRIDER>"We paid RaD a fortune to outfit it with weaponry." -RLF>RaD is just a side-hustle from Carla who is actually part of Overseer>Walter is part of Overseer>...>mfw Overseer scammed the RLF to make a flagship with built in weakpoints to gain reputation by later publicly destroying it so corps would notice their "independant" Merc, while also making money.You can tell Walter and Carla have been at this for years.
>>22914498I have this
Fuggin rubigonians DDDDDDDDDDDD-----------:<
>previous AC games get ported>BUT>gen 1 is emulation>gen 3 is psp versions>gen 4 and 5 dont have online>or we get remakes of ac1-3
>>22914520So what you're actually saying is>gen 1 is emulation>gen 3 is emulation>gen 4 and 5 are emulation>NiN10Doh would be proud.
ac3 controls are kind of kinofirst ac game but this is the type of tediousness that feels rewarding once you get better at it. i feel like i'm actually controlling a mech
>>22914524No you cheeky cunt.The portable ports do have some changes to their console versions, though some of them can be written off as superficial. Like how the menus get downgraded in presentation on PSP for 3/LR. But at the same time the Portable versions are enhanced rerelease builds.It's essentially a Persona 3 Portable situation.
>>22914511thanks mate
>>22914524Rpcs3 has online though...
>>22914510Carla wasn't working with Walter yet
>>22914609>"Thumb" Dolmayan>"Index" Dunham>"Middle" Flatwell>"Ring" Freddy>"Little" Ziyi>>>>"Cock" Rusty
>>22914613Whoops, didn't mean to quote
>>22914609Carla greets Walter in the first conversation we overhear by saying "looking good, for a change." This clearly means they've known each other for a long time. And I don't think Overseer was founded during the events of the game but long before. She even asks about 617 and the rest.
>>22914619They know each other since before the Fires, but Carla kinda abandoned the whole Overseer thing until Walter came back to pull her back in
>>22914630https://youtu.be/KA3CD06Y7cU?feature=shared&t=713Dude, she tells you in the mission briefing to retake floating city that it's been their mission all along. "Overseer [...] That was their mission. Our mission, me, Walter."She even calls it her real work.
>>22914511https://youtu.be/33JWGSgKyEM?si=1ANxRGuGGIjgdpS7I used this to get some missions I was missing.
>>22914636Notice she says "it's time for me to get back to my real work". All these years, she hasn't been actively performing her Overseer role. Sure, she's probably been monitoring things to make sure nothing out of the ordinary happens, but meanwhile she's been doing her RaD thing independently of her Overseer thing. She didn't intentionally build the RLF faulty superweapons as part of some master plan, hell she even tried to have you killed the first time you showed up at her doorstep. She only really started collaborating with Overseer again after Walter "reactivated" her with the big Coral explosion at the Watchpoint
>>22914656Her trying to murder you is because she does not recognize you as Walter's asset. Even if she wasn't with Overseer at that time, she certainly wouldn't try to shit on him. I get she was probably not really active unless instructed by Walter as the name Overseer implies passivity, and she otherwise would have known exactly how to identify 621 (kind of retarded of them either way to never clarify, imagine the conversation with Walter when he finds out his hound got shredded by Carla's trash-bin) but still her saying RaD was a side-job means there was a main job and I think she would have done favors for Walter before the events of the game because of this.I think Walter is just too confident in the STRIDER mission. He had it's destruction planned step by step.At the very least, she had to have told Walter how to dismantle the STRIDER.The biggest giveaway is him calling it built to fail. Yeah it could just be critique of bad design but it all fits together so well I can't be brought to believe this a coincidence.
>>22914671Or maybe he just knew everything Carla builds is destined to explode because she designs while high on meth
>>22914676Okay, fair point. I also like the idea of Walter actually thinking kind of low of Carla and her creations. Still an interesting enough detail, then.
>>22914677I mean, he's justified in doing so. Name one thing she builds that doesn't explode. ONE.
>>22914680Uhh, I mean, I sometimes drive past the toybox MTs in brutes mission. She built those, right? So Ha! Checkmate, Atheists!
>>22914613Deepest lore.
>>22914754wow what a neat armored core anon thanks for showing it
>>22914756what do you think of this armored core
>>22914762it gives me sexual thoughts
>>22914762why's it frowning
>>22914771he's angry you're late. You think holding that pose is easy?
>>22914252Structure Arts, from Square Enix
>>22914498https://files.catbox.moe/qn9mi1.pdfthis includes some extra "routes" to get you all the random standalone missions for 100% too
>>22913302A big hunk of metal. Preferably two-handed like in Souls games.
>>22913302Not sure about hopes per se, just thing's I'd like to see one way or another.If they're sticking to the AC6 continuity, the so called "carnival of horrors" that the Coral research supposedly brought.If they're making a clean break again, some proper moody, rainy, neon drenched and currently fully functional cyberpunk environments. Kind of tired of the barren post apocalyptic wastelands, I want the world to feel alive again.Otherwise, just go full on with Grid 86 with miles of machines mechanical megastructure, double down on industrial grunge and make it into a proper three dimensional maze testing player's dungeoneering skills.And some proper big huge bosses, preferably integrated seamlessly into the level architecture, or working as proper levels themselves. I also kind of liked those wandering mausoleum things from ER, wouldn't mind some more free range grazing Arms Fort class enemy types.
The expansion for AC6 will be announced at The Game Awards on December 13th. The Amazon Secret Level mini-episode related to Armored Core preceding the TGAs on December 10th will feature designs from the expansion.
