What do I think about Laser Blade?
>>22928527You think it makes for some cool kill screens.
>>22928502Have you done a no-tutorial/no OS chip run? If you haven't, run one to the end of NG++, now.
>>22928540nta I've done a 4 points of OS tuning (staying in rank F arena)because I don't like playing without boost kick or weapon bay.
>>22928540i've only done no-OS points for specific missions, this guy can actually S-rank the watchpoint without them although it's mostly because the ludlow damage buff lets him use less ammo
>>22928489Thanks.>>22928480If by that rating you mean it's fun but also pretty fucking retarded, then I agree. Struggles in many situations compared to what I was able to manage with Votoms cosplay builds.

>>22928661Thoughts on Trueno? They're classified as missiles but they lock so slowly and barely track so I just treat them as shoulder-fired darts. Usually as the last hit of a kill combo
>>22928669Not a big fan, personally. They seem like a generalist finisher that neither staggers reliably nor punishes staggers well. Light as fuck, though.
I actually had more trouble fighting sulla than JOBtus when i S ranked that mission.He ate well with those balance patches.

>>22928368You're not wrong Walter, you're just an asshole.
>>22928620>If by that rating you mean it's fun but also pretty fucking retarded, then I agreeI'm judging them on a comparative mech-to-mech basis. It's a tad pretensious, ranking them subjectively, rather than with objective numerical scores, but tbf I stole the idea from some youtuber I watched a while back (don't remeber his name, I don't keep up with e-celeb bullshit) though he was using Weezer albums while I'm using different mecha shows. Also while the show itself isn't that great, SEED's gundams are some of my favorites in the whole franchise (besides maybe Hathaway's Flash or G-Reco). It's sort of a good middle ground between the simpler, more boxy forms of Classic UC Gundam, and the newer, Bayformers-level clusterfucks that pass for modern mecha design. If you couldn't tell by this post yet, I'm not very fond of 00, IBO, or Gwitch's more complicated design language, outside of a few notable exceptions, sorry if this a very long-winded ramble, I wouldn't blame you if you just skip to the end.
>>22928989There's a spambot that's been doing this in every thread the last few months, he started in the Super Robot Wars threads and has been doing this in generals for quite a while. He's believed to be Duelrager.
>>22929604XIV threads (before they got hounded to death) also had an image spammer that wpuld do the same thing. Wonder if they're the same retarded faggot.
>>22929627Nah, this guy is different.
>>22929604I reported a spambot that was spouting retarded /pol/shit the other day, and he's since been removed, but I don't believe that's the same guy.
>>22928669I run an RJ with it and double homing missiles as back weapons. Since they're both long-locktime weapons, I don't really notice the TRUENO taking too long even while I'm running the TALBOT FCS.Some tips. If you're just looking for ranged stagger punish damage, you don't actually need to acquire a missile lock to score hits. You only need to wait for the reload, so fire immediately. If you're looking to build up stun damage on a moving target, that's when you wait for the lock time.

What's a suitable right shoulder weapon for this riot cop theme I'm going for? Have the Pulse Scutum on my left, and the Shao-Wei as a placeholder.
>>22930145I would put the shotgun on the back and use the taser gun or the smoke bomb launcher
>>22930145He honestly needs a shield if you're going for the Juggernaut vibe. Also the pulse armor expansion would be nice if you can afford it.
>>22930277It's already got the pulse scutum.
>>22930145i've been struggling to think of what would be a good interpretation of the bean bag guns...
>>22928538Yeah but it's a shit weapon

Been playing AC2 quite a bit lately. Feels like a great step up from 1st gen. So much more detail and stats all over the place its great. Being able to actually burn enemies now feels so much better than that dingy napalm launcher from MoA. There is just one thing, why does the lock on feel so strange? Compared to ac1 it feels like the actual "aiming screen" is much much farther back and it feels weird to try to aim at enemies that are close by. Maybe the FCS finally affect the distance and i just havent noticed but damn it just doesnt feel right sometimes. Also is there any place i can see how much do optional parts actually affect your ac? "increases lock on range" doesnt really tell me much
>>22928502I wanted to see a Joso+Jailbreak core tournament held 'round here, but I might just make it into a campaign run and have fun with no energy.
>>22930149>>22930277>>22930286Thanks for the ideas. I’ll play around and see what I like.
a BAWS RJ frame would just be really neat don't you think
>>22930606>have fun with no energyGridwalker is extremely efficient, i don't think it would be a hard challenge
>>22930820Modified MT parts as early campaign unlocks would've been fun, particularly BAWS legs, both quad and RJ. Subpar like Crawlers but fine for early game when you're still figuring things out and still serving a low-EN niche later down the line. Imagine 220-ish EN load RJs and 350-ish quad, both lacking in terms of mobility compared to proper AC parts but still posessing the core mechanics to get you used to them early. Add an earlygame light tank and you're set.And then when Jailbreak comes around, the leg choice depends on the AC that got confiscated in the previous mission.

>>22930994The normal Coral Rifle, the one that's palette swapped pulse rifle, is actually pretty good. The charge shot makes it into a breach gun, and each projectile can hit. I've made some work with Laser Lance to break guard and then point blank Coral breach rifle and it shreds enemies.
>>22931088pulse rifle?
>>22931097this Coral Rifle, Redshift, is a breach gun. Use it following a point-blank guard break like from the charged laser lance.

>>22932223Yeah don't really need the San-Tai, I'll likely do just that if I even try this shit in PvP. Last time I tried I ended up back on Nacht legs since RJ bunnyhopping isn't fast enough to escape shit.
>A ranks>already met like 5-6 guys using Freud build or some variation of it with minor changesI respect this sort of autism.
I was looking at the /v/ thread and I realized that the PCA suck complete ASS at their job. They built a whole satellite system to lock the planet down, and everyone and their mother touches down anyways. They are a failure from top to bottom throughout the entire game and I find that absolutely hilarious.
>>22932298Branch (the hacker guys) basically destroyed one of the gates, that's why more and more people are pouring in. The pilot of the Cataphract says that it was Raven (the original one, not 621) that did it.
>>22932298>/v/ threadThey are posting CP now, very cool.
>>22932298it's mostly the System being incompetent, they keep trying to drown priority targets in casualties and design silly shit like the assault tank with a frontal weakpointthis is part of AC6's larger satirical commentary on AI (the triumph of AC combat doctrine over unmanned combat machines, STV vs STK, human-moderated AI like Chatty performing better than the System, Chatty getting dumpstered by Freud, Allmind being a silly girlfailure in multiple ways, humanity and the Coral defeating Allmind)
>>22932336I wonder if that piechart that added to more than 100% was a fluke or deliberate, to show ALLMIND wasn't in control as it thought it was.Also it's hilarious how heavy-handed the "Kate Markson" approach is.
>>22932343its 100 percent deliberatethese are the same devs that added a specific voiceline from allmind, where if the player just avoids the arena for all three campaign endings she's just totally dumbfounded because it goes against her 300 iq keikaku
>>22932343that and the double 45-091 parts not being corrected by patches have convinced me that Allmind being incredibly fallible is canon
>>22932336I mean they built and entire AI and satellite system that was bypassed by just THREE ACs. They did jackshit until pretty late into the Coral war and then they just got completely shit on and had all their tech stolen when they did finally decide to do something.If I was one of the people paying the PCA Id like to know where the fuck that money is going cause it sure as shit aint rubicon.
>>22932368they ARE putting money into rubicon with all those warships, though.it's interesting to think about how much of their resources each of the factions are putting into the coral war, though. the PCA and arquebus seem to be throwing the most money in, balam just sent a penal legion, RaD only produces enough to defend its positions in the grid and BAWS is actually gaining money from the conflict due to specing less into ACs and more into MTs and conventional vehicles that the other factions need to supplement their forces. RaD could also be making a profit but the game doesn't go into how lucrative their position as a black market arms dealer is, for all we know it could be anything from just arming dozers and the RLF to literally running the AC parts shop everyone is using
less yapping more dogs

Hey what do you guys think I need to do in order to replace the Laser Shotgun with Karasawa?I'm fine how I am but the main draw is the kill combo from one stagger which super Karasawa beam is just a bit better at than shotgun's crossbow bolt.
>>22932590holy fuck that was sickgood fashion too
>>22932636maybe drop the laser cutter for something lighter?
>>22932343>I wonder if that piechart that added to more than 100% was a fluke or deliberateWait whatWhich piechart are you talking about?
>>22932792If you would please consult the graphs.(Someone measured that piece, it only adds up to 2.6%)
>>22932792If you look at ALLMIND's mission briefings, there is something hilariously off about them. People have been memeing that she's an AI that just fumbles every plan of hers by the end because she has no common sense.- makes a VR Arena with outdated or downright wrong combatant renditions (Rokumonsen is much harder in real life than in the arena)- "I have all of 621's combat data, I sure can pilot an AC myself"- thought a piechart would just be something to show to humans and impress them, instead of presenting data- can't shoot down more than 5 helicopters- can't even make an effort on her Kate Markson persona, when the least amount of due diligence reveals there's no one by that name- makes up an entire personality to show she can pilot an AC, doesn't bother to alter her voice- instead of just contracting Raven directly as ALLMIND, does it through "Kate Markson"- all the stuff in the third ending- labels two AC parts with the same number my mistake
>>22932865>>22932877>(it only adds up to 2.6%)kek what a goober
>>22932877>Rokumonsen is much harder in real life than in the arenaHe's only harder because you have to fight Swinburne first.
>>22932967Swinburne is the single easiest fight in the game.Rokumonsen is a tough fight because he uses the same Protagonist AI that Rusty and Raven do, and he has 3 health packs.
All this talk about smAllmind being a girl failure makes sense. Dork luv>>22930853>thought it was eva-02 or sazabi cosplay>its worseI love it honestly.

You can tell AC6 was a game they actually wanted to make. Not something I would say about anything after Dark Souls.AC6 is probably their most realized game yet and as much as I like these games, I hope they don't milk this franchise like they do with souls.
>>22933346>hope they dont milk this franchise >16 games
>>22933352Okay, good point. Better wording: I hope that Souls remains their cash-cow and that they only make AC games from now on when they actually have the passion and time for it.
>>22933358Fromsoft was at their best when AC was the cash cow.
>>22933358Or you can say "i hope fromsoft keeps on making good games". They got the talent and chops for it after developing shovelware in their early days
>>22933352Not enough, need more.
I am running on Max settings on the correct resolution but the game looks significantly better in other people's screenshots.
>>22931271very nice spare 15 cosplay, anon
>>22933383Have you tried turning off motion-blur in camera-mode? I felt like that made a huge difference.
>a pop and sizzleWould you guys try Coral based drugs?
>>22933549MAAAAAAD STOMP!!!!
>>22933346Sekiro is their most realized game. AC6 is pretty lacking in different routes compared to previous games in the series and the mechanical overhauls had and have a lot of speedbumps in ironing out balance. I love AC6 regardless of course, I just think Sekiro's the more complete package.
>>22933549>coral-based drugs>not pure coralyou gotta take rubicon's blessings raw, bro
>>22933390It's something I work on occasionally as I wait for more content.
>I'll chase the clowns from over Rubicon...>Only I can honk loud enough!
>>22928368Does the newest Xenia Canary work better for 5th gen games? Been wanting to try Gundam OpTroy but I didn't want to break my config file for it.

>>22932969>he has 3 health packs.Don't all ACs have 3 repair kits?
Does anyone know if 30 minute missions intends to release more kits? Will I eventually be able to build any AC from the game?
Would someone kindly tell me why this fucker is still alive?He fell off the fucking Xylem and now I can't kill him
Is formula front worth playing at all?
>>22934833it's the best game in the series
>>22934835damn son how could i have not played it for so long
>>22934833Emulate it on your phone, have fun customizing and optimizing AI bulids.similar to UNACs in verdict day.
Finished AC2, great game again and im now starting AC2AA. Holy shit is this terrible. Genuinely what were they thinking? There is no story, the missions are hit and mostly miss. They repeat maps so fucking much. This better actually have different maps and better missions later on cause this game feels like a pure downgrade compared to 2.
>>22934884More accurately, VD's UNACs are essentially an entire sequel to Formula Front distilled into an optional game mechanic for giving you CPU squadmates in the otherwise multiplayer-focused 5th gen games.

>>22935412it's a field that belongs to a king
>>22934964It doesn't get any better later on, it's consistently the same shit until the very end. You miss absolutely nothing if you skip it.
>>22934345He's one of the first opponents that will use all 3 as soon as possible. MADDO STOMPPU won't use any, Swinburne has a very noticeable lag before using one (most people never even saw the choice onscreen). Rokumonsen somehow uses one even while being hit by Assault Armor and peltered by a fucking metric ton of missiles.>>22934964Another Age is the same from beginning to end. Be careful of the tank type inside the dome (noob filter) and the 1v3 near the end of the game (there's a lot of slowdown).Protip for the final battle: the final story boss (not the final mission opponent) is weak against missiles.
>>22935424>if you make an o face everytime you see an iteration of the moonlighthonestly i'm not really a fan of the moonlight post AC2 when lefthand bazookas/explosives pretty much do the same thingi think the moonlight is even a beam bazooka in metal wolf

>>22935696Thinking that the episode has anything to do with future updates or expansion is just pure cope.
>>22935750>pure copeI only partake in the purest, highest grade cope.
>>22935675Mirin dem nacht-alicia ass legs.Seems like they have hodgepodge frame parts with going with a mix of 6 and other gen designs, and then purely 6th gen weapons.Maybe it's easier for the "average" viewer to relate to the capabilities of the weaponry if it's from the most recent and popular entry.

>>22932776I can't use KRSV and those legs without severely fucking up the build.The only thing I can do is replace the legs with mind beta.Which is still pretty good but takes my speed down to 347.Right now I'm trying to decide what's better. >guard break -> laser slicer -> point blank Charged Redshift Gun -> Kick>guard break -> laser silcer -> Kick -> charged laser shotgun crossbow bolt

why is stun baton so shit
>>22936173It requires you to be in melee range for like 2 seconds in a game wherein that's doom. You will get Core Expanded right in your face, and no matter which expansion they have that will blow
>>22936177they should make it so stun baton actually stuns
>>22936197Nobody would use any other melee weapon.

>>22936438Kek where can I buy that
>>22932636lammy core and aorta gen gives you pretty much the exact same generator stats as nacht+ngmi, and the combo fits juuuust under kasuar's weight limit with a karasawa in tow. nacht's generator output stat is atrocious, it chokes even the fattest gens. alternatively, you can cram a 20a into it for energy firearm spec, but then you're using 20a.
>>22933876
>>22936009Those are some SEXY shoulder launchers, your build is a lot better than the red guy, at least. I give it a Roze of the Recapture/10, maybe even a light Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet.
>>22935989It's either On Satelloid, Flood of a Life or Someone is Always Moving.
>>22936173>stagger>bullet orbits to extend stagger>land charged baton>wait until electric explosion>hit them with harris or zim zam as soon as they explode>beat them to death with regular baton hits>or if you’re fast and chad enough repeat the previous process
>>22936491You're actually right. I'll give it a shot.
>>22936696Actually this build is surprisingly sick. The amount of time you spend with enemy locked down in stagger because of laser slicer gives you plenty of time to charge krsv

Lowering the Exposure setting makes for some cool shots if you're using energy weapons, or anything that lights up.
>>22940569Cool Artorias of the Abyss AC.
>>22940452Having a little chip drive thing on the side of her head would be kinda neat!
>>22940471O'Keeffe, Rusty, Hawkins, Maeterlinck, and Swinburne yes, but I find it more likely the sinister guy with the phone or tablet or whatever is Snail, tall guy between Rusty and Swinburne is Freud, and dude on the far right is Pater.
>>22940687Guy in the back has a soul patch. I don't think see Snail with facial hair. He's a big corporate guy and this is a Japanese game. I think it's Freud because he's the only loner in the image.The only reason far right could be Pater is because Hawkins is talking to him, but from his posture and being in front I think he's Snail.The only thing that bothers me about this list is that I don't see ANY of them as Pater.
>>22940693I see more of a Gendo beard than a soul patch, I can imagine Snail having a similar aesthetic. He's probably scowling at some report or an order from Arquebus high command on that device. Freud's up front not talking to anyone because he's only here for the violence, which leaves Pater to be the guy talking to Hawkins.
>>22940729Maybe, but it also looks like he's wearing a ballcap?
>>22940736The VHS-style image fuzz makes it hard to tell what's going on there. Could be a hat, could be a light fixture or something on the wall, could be some kind of flip-up visor, who knows. This is all speculation anyway unless From gives us more art/lore to work with at some point, the only one we can be at all confident about is Maeterlinck.
which AC game has the most parts for you to customize your mech?
>>22940824Probably verdict day i think.
https://youtu.be/RQ3RT38wUJcfound this AC inspired track and I wanted to share it
How do I beat the first AC6 boss?
>>22940888You must be ABSURDLY aggressive. Constantly moving toward it, using your sword on cd except maybe holding out if he's close to being staggered.The only thing that's stupid about the first boss is that he can fly out of bounds but you can't.That's not a recurring thing in AC6 tho, don't worry. I have no idea why they would leave that in for the first boss.
>>22940824last raven?
>>22940888Fire everything.Build stagger with missiles, keep it from resetting with rifle, and get your blade hits in when it staggers.Don't bother chasing it down all the time because you're not built for full bore aerial combat and it'll just goad the copter unto going out of bounds.If you're still dying, the takeaway should be you aren't being aggressive enough. Don't treat it like a turtly Dark Souls 1 hide behind defensive options kind of fight, the game wants you to go all out and use every single technique given to you up to that point.The fight is pure fundamentals, even on replay you're forced to use the stock starter Loader 04 so it's all completely balanced around internalizing the fundamentals.
>>22940145>>22940458I want mommy Snail to step on me immediately.
>>22940888Get up close and use the sword.
>>22940458I'm still upset that the doujin was just rusty sex with a bit of iguazu rape at the end
>>22937891I think Ayre demonstrated this more, but also exposed that so many young men are deranged now because of how little attention/kindness women have shown them. I know of tons of guys who played AC6 and gleefully did the fires ending because of something along the lines of "had to get that bitch out of my head, she was manipulating me!" There is no evidence of this and they felt very strongly that Ayre needed to go. I've got no loved loss between me and women but it is disconcerting to see how many young men are so touchy/kindness starved from women that they have a vitriolic reaction to it when they get it at all lmao
>>22940949You're going to find out one way or another that there's a lot of repressed self-hating homosexuals out there who desperately want to fit in as normal and think they're being gatekept from normalcy by the other gender.
Alright, finished AC2AA. It did actually get better, but only slightly. Actually had some pretty good missions with some fun environments, but the rest ranged from meh to boring to pretty fucking bad. Why were there so many timed missions that really had no reason to be timed? The game also had the most random difficulty spikes and many missions that easily just murder the player a moment after the mission starts. There is still no story and no arena which is pretty fucking shit. I was surprised there were extra missions after you beat the game in the form of "super bosses". I have to confess, I tried so hard to burn them all but i just couldn't do it. I had to resort to making a rocket barrage AC like another anon mentioned. Overall probably the worst AC game so far, but still not horrible just bland and uninspired.Now before I start the next line of armored core games, there seem to be both ps2 and psp versions of them. Are there some major differences? Which would be the best choice, playing the ones available on the psp and the ps2 ones separately, or playing everything on the ps2?
>>22940980PS2 always.
>>22940961>everyone is secretly gayno nigga just you. Wanting everyone to secretly be gay is the gayest thing in the world. These are just regular dollar tree emotional issues, not a repressed desire to blow out your anus with some fruity cock you stupid nigger
>>22940980PS2, the PSP versions are ass.>>22941046Kek, trvth nvke
>>22940980>build almost like minebased and excellent taste
>>22940980The PSP versions of 3 and Silent Line have extra parts not found in the PS2 versions, but at the cost of worse physics.This is most noticeable in the satellite missions in Silent Line, where the PS2 version lets you OB through the curved hallways smoothly, whereas in the PSP versions you get dropped out of OB instantly if you so much as graze the walls.This makes it extremely difficult to hit the time challenge to collect one of the parts, as the mission was constructed on PS2 with the expectation that you would be using OB through the curved halls, and the timer was never changed to account for the PSPs shittier physics.PSP Silent Line also lets you transfer saves directly to PSP Last Raven, as there is no PSP Nexus.Not sure if this is the only way to get the extra parts into PSP Last Raven, more knowledgable anons should know.
post good lookin heavy legs.
>>22941046It's OK to be gay, anon.Just come out of the closet and stop hating yourself.
>>22941119
>>22941119?!?
>>22940939>I want mommy Snail to step on me immediately."So much for your re-education. What a wasted effort that was—yet another idiotic call by my 'superiors"'>>22940945There's some Hawkins and Pater as well in the mix, keep int mind it' took this long to have scenes outside of fucking Rusty.
>>22940888You deplete its health to zero, like with any other enemy.
>>22940980I really wanted these legs and ELB-5005B in gen 3.5. Why didn't they make it in? Same with some other parts that for some reason only show up in 2 and AA.
>>22941119>>22941129The defense system in 5th gen is such a weird design choice
>>22940990>>22941054>>22941103Yeah from what I can tell ps2 versions play better while psp versions have more content. I just hope that if i go with the ps2 i dont lose out on some napalm goodness. Im also uncertain how exactly does the transfer work for these so im gonna have to look that up.>>22941103hell yeah brother>>22941271they are pretty cool legs
>>22940980I also forgot to mention how its starting to really piss me off how the enemy acs can get all this cool af custom parts, but you cant. why not? fucking bullshit
>>22941286Its designed pretty well, if your bulid doesn't have enough def to buff out certain guns, it means you have enough speed to deal with them.CE guns have low velocity, dodge and weave their shots.TE bullets dissappear at long ranges.
>>22941366I'd say that tying the defence types with aesthetic, while fine from the point of quickly glancing at the !arena opponents, make balanced defence builds just ugly. While you can have a just blocky build if you decide that you have enough of a piloting skill to express it by dodging TE shots (or just use shields), having a round aesthetic is completely non viable.
>>22941375>make balanced defence builds just uglymaybe i am biased, but not all of them look mismatched.pic rel is a midweight that everyone ran back then, and i think it looks sick.
>>22941389That looks like a goddamn monstrosity
>>22941396Maybe it's intentionally ugly, like Battlemechs.
>>22941396a monstrosity you fear in the battlefield, it adds to the apocalyptic-setting where people are grafting random shit to their ACs.
>>22941389I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, but man I really hope FROM never returns to gen 5 designs. So glad we moved past that.
>>229411196's heavy leg selection is a tragedy, i miss when heavies looked good
>>22941671>remember what they took from youfuck
>>22940888try to get below the heli so 60% of the shots don't get you and then go full aggro.
>>22941119DINGO2's big boned cousin.
>>22941749i wonder how the full set performs...
>>22941771You could just play the games and find out. Out of the whole set, I don't think I ever, even once, used those arms.
>>22941890yeah they're kinda ugly huh

>>22940471>Snail let that fine, loyal piece of ass Maeterlinck dieWhat a fucking faggot
>>22942843he's gay, please understand
>>22941671I wish these simpler figures would have become standard. Would be so cool to build your own ACs with them. They'd just have to be a plastic that takes paint and have interchangeable standardized balljoints so you can pop any part into any other; which seems to be what the one on the left is. I like the new model-kits but they are too expensive and "premium" to feel like a fun thing to mess with. Why do these high-end collectibles always suck such ass in terms of playability? I want to actually play with this shit and not have it in a glass-cabinet.
>>22942912Why did you let Front Mission's Wander Arts figure line die then?
>>22942181me irl
>>22942912a lot of the ACs have complicated joints that wouldnt work so well as a fully mobile toys unfortunately. so you are left with a choice of accurate toy that doesnt move, or toy that moves but had to cut corner on accuracy. doing both is simply not worth the effort for anyone selling them unfortunately

I feel like there was a missed opportunity in not having the PCA give missions to mercenaries. It'd be cool to do missions for them in exchange for specially-made AC parts that resemble LCs or HCs.>I just want to pilot an LC, man.
>>22943367The PCA is the last group to court mercenaries, especially when Raven is on their shit list for creating a gaping hole in their security screen.Also, what part of "FUCK THE PCA" do you not understand, you boot licking scab?

>>22943545Wasn't that the third time you've fought that LC model at that point? Wish he at least got some plasma missiles or something.

>Sony is in talks to buy KadokawaWhat does this mean for Fromsoftware? Will Armored Core be affected?
>>22942265>>22942416>>22942434>>22942685https://files.catbox.moe/53rugq.mp4I pick my maps at random when I'm in the arena, I didn't know the parking lot mattered so much
>>22943769wrong clip dammithttps://files.catbox.moe/tbznx4.mp4
>>22943703Kadokawa owns 69,99% of Fromsoft. I have no clue to what extent they influence Froms actions as a developer. Some questions:-Do they just hold a share and want to see it grow in value to resell at a higher price, or do they have direct influence? Like, can they veto anything?-Are other media companies owned by Sony allowed to make games for other systems?"Damn hyenas... scavenging the planet."
>>22943829>-Are other media companies owned by Sony allowed to make games for other systems?Considering sony's financial problems, they've been bringing their whole catalog to PC, from Horizon to God of War. So even if a buyout happens, PC versions should still be on the table.
>>22943829Sony has their baseball game series on the Switch, I think platform exclusivity is the least of anyone's concerns.
>>22943829>>22943703apparently it's to prevent koreans to have a majority of parts in one of the subcompanies or something, something about keeping it japanesenote that it's supposed to be bought by the main Sony, not the SIE, so it's not like californians get a direct say in anythinganyway, it isn't confirmed yet and will be shitposted about regardless, so be ready
>>22944047On the risk of sounding like a redditor: Do you have the sauce to this? I know where I live, if I said I make purchases to keep a company German there would be whinging up the ass.I am still curious to what extent a shareholder can direct a company. If I held 70% of From could I waltz into the office and give directions like "Stop modeling this, instead model that." Could I yell "I AM FROMSOFT!!!" or "One... last... plan.... *Emptiesbowelcontents*." While From collapses from my autistic decisions?
>>22944095>Do you have the sauce to this?the korean part? merely speculation from random people based on more buyout rumors, but for the anime part of kadokawa hence the keyword "apparently", it's not like a company is going to publicly disclose such discourse anyway, there's nothing official in the first place kodokawa have made no official statement, you'll find bunch of articles from any outlet about the buyout from sony but there's nothing of value in itit's also important to note that kadokawa family have a bunch of legals problems with drugs and bribes so they might step down from the company
>>22944095Depending on how a business entity is established and if the shareholders are empowered to vote on who runs the c-suite. Usually you'd be more concerned that corporate turbofuckery is to ensue when someone amasses that much shareholder power to affect leadership nominations though. A business that goes public tends not to have the insane vision of a privately owned entity, not unless someone buys out a controlling interest in the organization.
Does anyone know if arm energy supply enhances all L Arm weapons like the grenade launcher and flamethrower and not just the swords in AC3?
>>22944213i think it's just blades but i wouldn't trust my memory

>>22942202Very based legs. Literally. They have quite the large surface area to stand on.
