I'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.

you can get fairly competent brawler builds out of AC6 quads since hover mode lets you fire stance weapons without a drastic loss of mobility

i'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

more varied and competent enemy MTs

more parts that basically do the same shit as eachother but appeal to different aesthetic styles
better looking light and heavy biped leg options
removal of parry shields
VD-style weapon arms
OS tuning replaced with real tuning and/or option parts
green/purple/white thruster flare generators
green rifle
sniper rifles
lightweight physical damage melee weapons
laser machine guns
parts frames designed as tanks/quads/rjs first and not as variants of biped frames
real arena + postgame data arena
furlong frame parts

let players buy stocks in corpos
prioritized in that order

I 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.

I 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.

That's an easy one.
Salvador Dali has a quote that Sigmund Freud's head looks like a Snail.
Freud
Snail
>>
>>22914432
Not 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)
>>
>>22914462
I 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.

No 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.

Carla 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.
>>
>>22914619
They know each other since before the Fires, but Carla kinda abandoned the whole Overseer thing until Walter came back to pull her back in
>>
>>22914630
https://youtu.be/KA3CD06Y7cU?feature=shared&t=713

Dude, 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.
>>
>>22914511
https://youtu.be/33JWGSgKyEM?si=1ANxRGuGGIjgdpS7
I used this to get some missions I was missing.
>>
>>22914636
Notice 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
>>
>>22914656
Her 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.

Not 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.

They should take fortaleza and do what TF2 did with Equalizer/Escape Plan
You want speedy tank? current Fortaleza
You want to carry lotsa shit on light energy load and good bulk but 100 ton load of Borneo is overkill for you? Give us a slower midweight tank with lesbians' old defenses, plus lighter energy load, different booster profile and less traction to make it a bit more distinct still

The cure is even simpler. Git gud.

Tonight I beat Nexus and I gotta say this is the weakest game in the series I've played so far. The heat mechanic was annoying though admittedly became a non-issue after I got used to it, but I mainly disliked Nexus because of it's fucking dull and uninspired missions. I swear every mission was just "shoot these MTs" with rarely anything else. It's especially noticable since I recently beat Silent Line which was full of absolute kino missions. Also what's up with the game just letting me progress even if I fail a mission? Really bizarre design choice. This game kind of confuses me, it has an identity crisis but ends up feeling like just a shittier version of AC3. I'm hoping Last Raven lives up to the hype you guys give it because Nexus did not impress me at all.

>>22920036

That's about it
>>
>>22920038
So should I just scan mode and immediately counter pick whatever the enemy is least resistant to
>>
>>22920052
Ye. Normally they're either resistant to KE or TE most often, so having a main weapon set of KE with a backup of CE or TE with CE backups helps. That or you can bring a laser blade for emergency TE damage. That's part of why Scan Mode exists and why having a good range of weapons in your weapon bays is useful
>>
>>22920052
Yup, it's recommended to have a generalist bulid.
For example: two battle rifles and two pulse guns, you can switch or dual trigger different damage types.
>>
>>22920052
If it's singleplayer missions just go on gamefaqs and get the defensive stats for each opponent and have multiple builds that deal damage in the type that they're weakest to, and have defenses that are strongest against their main damage dealer.

>guinea pig for the first couple attempts and then changing my build
You have 5 weapon slots, more than enough to cover all your bases, walljumps and cover are meant to be your main defense.

Ineffective doesn't mean useless. Gatling guns can be used to destroy misslies, autocannons have so much dps it doesn't matter if the target can defend against it.
Shotguns have a shitload of pellets so it can armor break (lowering your opponent's def by 20%) and stagger.
Utility guns and shoulders are extremely important to good, functional bulids.

Just finished all of the first gen AC games, except the Ex arena and ranker MK in master of arena. gonna do that some time later and i gotta say, that was actually really damn fun. no wonder ac2 was a launch title for the ps2. I have to ask before i get into 2nd gen. Are there any more bullshit platforming in the later games, and is the balance better? Because holy shit, there is no balance. The games werent some extremely tough ball busters, but i really did hate how picking something that looks cool ends up being dogshit just because
>>
>>22921025
i should also mention i didnt get any of the plus upgrades and i still thought the game had a pretty good ammount of challenge overall
>>
>>22919991

Did people die that fast in the ps1 games?
>>
>>22921043
Out of bounds.
>>
>>22921025
AC1 final mission is the worst the platforming ever gets in the franchise. AC3 has a level paying homage to it but it's a breeze. No need to worry about that.
Balance gets mildly better for every game but is never great aside from maybe Last Raven.
>>
>>22921061
>>22921025
seconding all that except for balance, quadlegs got slightly better in second get but they got worse after that, and about last raven it's basically only light/medium biped if you want to perform, not that the rest in unplayable but clearly not as good
>>
>>22919659
Where did you hear that he's old in LR?
>>
>>22921061
Oh thank fuck. that last mission was cool af thematically, but such a fucking chore to play. I was waiting for it to pop up again in the next 2 games but thankfully it never did.
>>22921069
I thought quad legs were already absolutely the best choice in 1st gen? they get even stronger? damn.
Also i keep seeing posts saying Last Raven is one of the best if not THE best AC game. Is it really or should i just reigh in my hype a bit?
>>
>>22921079
I personally liked 3 and Silent Line more, but LR has the most fleshed out characters of oldgen. The gameplay's hard as balls and borders on bullshit for some missions so beware of that
>>
>>22921079
>Last Raven is one of the best if not THE best AC game
Absolutely not, silent line takes the crown.
>>
>>22921069
>>22921079
Quads getting worse in 3 is better balance, they were busted OP in the first two gens and definitely needed to be reworked a bit.
>>
>>22921079
>I thought quad legs were already absolutely the best choice in 1st gen
they are, but it is also because there are less movement options in 1rst gen like OB, and in 2nd gen quads also have great cooling, the difference isn't huge but still, in 3rd gen they get not as good of the carry weight EN cost but also the back chaingun being not as good, still pretty decent tho, as of 3.5 anti missile defences arn't as good so you have to rely on movement more for missiles meaning quads that like to stay grounded are worse off
LR is great but is by no mean perfect, so temper your expectations, don't start a fresh save and import a nexus one too
>>
>>22921086
for me it's AC2AA

>>22921090
ah my mistake, i misunderstood
>>22921093
i was honestly thinking of starting a fresh save for each game from now on, feels a bit like cheating because i started moa with so much cash i literally bought EVERYTHING. unless there are hidden parts again which you can only get by transferring.
>>
ah one more thing, do we ever get to equip two handed guns, or dual wielded ones maybe? Feels a bit of a shame to just have your left hand for nothing but a sword
>>
>>22921120
Yes, AC3 adds L arm grenade launchers and flamethrowers, then SL expands it to pretty much all gun types.
>>
>>22921117
>i was honestly thinking of starting a fresh save for each game from now on
another age, silent line, and last raven are meant to be played by importing a save by design
tho it's not mandatory, it is highly recommended for LR, also for some reason the pal version of another age don't have the save transfer option
>>
>>22921130
>dual flamethrowers
i cant wait
>>22921142
but wouldnt it break the game, or how does it work exactly?
>>
>>22921209
The games have many routes. For example, in LR you can pick from 3 missions as soon as ypu start, each leading down a different route. Some of those routes will assrape you if you haven't imported a save
>>
>>22921209
>but wouldnt it break the game
All the second duology parts in their respective generations were designed for save file import. If anything, it just saves you the grind since you'd probably replay at least some of the missions to get stuff you wouldn't get with a shitty early game build.
>how does it work exactly
You keep the parts, in later games (ps360 era) also schematics.
From 1 to PP to MoA you also keep the H+ upgrades, the same with 2 to AA.
From 3 to SL you also keep the OP-I upgrades.
From NX (to optionally NB) to LR it's just parts, nothing else. The Nexus parts get detuned since the whole tuning system gets reworked (and free) in Last Raven.

Extrapolating from details given, what it is is likely a prelude to a Big Bang.
Since Coral multiplies as a function of its population density, and the big fear of it starts when it's so spread out that it escapes the confines of R3's gravity, and that the relevant ending portrays the event like a black hole forming, the conclusion I'd draw is that Coral by its very nature can generate the infinite density conditions of the initial singularity that predates the Big Bang according to that theory.
So the entire universe presumably explodes in a wave of Coral that may or may not have ignited but nonetheless fundamentally changes the nature of the universe at large, as if all of reality experienced a soft reboot.

What route did you guys choose back when it released?
I went with the granny because I heard about the fight with a friend.
>>
>>22922541
I just went through them all in order. I'm not particularly emotionally attached to any of them, nor am I willing to chose any of them as a personal canon. At most I'd remark that I enjoyed experiencing the same story from multiple slightly different perspectives.
>>
>>22922541
I went with Fire, then Liberator.
I preferred Liberator, but only because Snail is the villain of the game and it's the most complete Raven vs Snail route.
>>
>>22922541
Fires, Liberator, Release
pretty sure that's the intended order anyways
>>
Huh, maybe I am overthinking again; haven't heard anyone mention this but the Xylem from the fron features an X-motif. Maybe part of the reason it was given a name starting with x. It also kind of looks like a tube resembleing an actual xylem.

It is also noteworthy that Coral appears near water-sources underground. Xylem transport water from the ground up a plant. So perhaps the xylem was supposed to transport Coral.
>>
>>22922590
IT was called a "colony ship" and was an abandoned city.
More likely this was the means by which humans settled on Rubicon.
>>
>>22922590
The thing that gets me about Xylem is it feels like something that belongs in some outlandish sci fi jrpg.
I think I've got Xeno- brainrot though.
>>
>>22922603
This is the floating city of Xylem, where dreams can come true. But at what price?
>>
>>22922590
All those exposed streets and buildings sure make it look like a space sailing vessel. How did it even make it into the atmosphere and then out of it too?

>>22922603

It may not be much of a consolation but you're not the only one. I'm going to keep waiting for the Xenoblade Chronicles X2 as long as it takes.

>>22922541
Fires, then liberator, then the final one. Fires then Liberator feels like the right order since NG+ lets you do notably more with the RLF.

>>
>>22925409
>Why does a videogame about mechs have to care about that?
The videogame about mechs itself desn't care about that, since it's not a sentient, much less sapient, entity. As to why are identity politics staining everything right now, well, I guess zeitgeist is what it is. Ask the masters of Omer as to what their vision for the future is but I doubt you'll get anything remotely resembling a straight answer.

Thank you for the armchair psychological analysis, you're spot on.
>Favorite game
I'd be hard pressed to choose only one as an absolute favorite, since I enjoyed all of them aside of Formula Front and Nine Breaker, which I didn't play. Setting wise, I guess gen 1 and 2 combined. Gameplay wise, I'd gravitate towards LR, 4A or V, depending on the mood, phase of the moon or atmospheric pressure. 6 is fun too but I haven't made up my mind about it just yet.

i think that the really nice part about lamm arms is that you can give your AC jet fighter wings but without making it super advanced. you can make a jet mecha, a shitcan mecha, or run the in-between shitcan jet mecha depending on how you play it. that's why it has claw hands

I mean, on one hand yes, but on another, judging by the timeline, you should've seen them actually go "wait he's a dude, why does he have a girly-sounding name?" in that very tournament, with no trannies involved. If it was like 10 years ago, we'd just have mars and venus symbols, but nowadays genders are amorphous and pronouns are the hot new thing.

That's because we don't have a physical shield in the game yet. Mostly impact mitigation, no heat stat, no initial guard, yes durability, yes deployment delay, yes shield bash when doing assault armor kick, 10 ton weight.
