https://www.rifters.com/crawl/?p=11319> Shrieker original name was «CHICXULUB» but it changed due to Keanu having issues saying the name> «The actual story? Changed significantly, as I mentioned last post. And largely, as I also mentioned, for the better. When I was brought on board there was all this canon: a spice-like McGuffin called “coral”, which acted as a networked intelligence and plastic explosive and (I kid you not) food source. The game Fires of Rubicon takes place on a planet ravaged by a catastrophe that burned all the coral off its face (along with about 95% of its biosphere); it begins fifty years later, when the Coral seems to be making a comeback and there’s a gold rush booting up because He Who Controls The Coral Controls— You get the idea. The protagonist is called Raven. His handler is Walter, and he’s a slippery cryptic sonofabitch who keeps his agenda very close to his chest. The voice in Raven’s head is Ayre, and she appears to be a some kind of sentient iteration of Coral that interfaces with Raven’s implants. I was originally retained to tell a story about these characters, but one that wouldn’t give away any major plot or character elements of the actual game.»>story removed those elements so that it can be linked to all AC games and not just 6, and also not to spoil 6.> «The very title—“Asset Management”—derives from the way Walter treated Raven; with Walter virtually eliminated from the story, it dangles like a vestigial appendix»>most dialogues were the same even when it was «canon»>the writer DIDN’T PLAYED ANY AC GAMES and based everything over Reddit post. > writer was a bit disappointed by how the mecha battle looks because it wasn’t realistic enough then says «Admittedly, the whole premise of giant mechs punching each other in the face is fundamentally silly»it had so many red flags elements. Whoever fixed everything from this writer is a hero.
>>22990738Damn, the fact that it didn't turn into complete garbage is a true Christmas miracle.Why the fuck is a dude who doesn't even know the series and dislikes it's premise the writer anyway?
>>22990738>I knew nothing about it before Blur handed me a very comprehensive deck of docs on the lore. >Whatever arcana I inserted was based on Fires of Rubicon, and was pretty much stripped out.>The details the fans are poring over is 100% JTi don't know who is this JT guy but he definitely saved the episode

>>22990787fuck off with your shit thread
>>22990754Happens with many adaptation. Because many people believes the lore of video game if "childish" (beside exceptions when it's by "authors") and needs to be modified to be more serious.As an example, everyone respect Hideo Kojima , but when there was Metal Gear games not written by him, they were directly put aside as not important, even though many have superb writings. But they were not done by "authors" so it doesn't matter anymore. They are not "part of the good ones" for the general public.It's slowly happening too with modern From Soft games, many people always credit Miyazaki for everything and every project, even when it's not the case, and Miyazaki himself want other people to be important, but Miyazaki now became an "author" and everyone else is unimportant. An if he does AC7, many will see it better than AC6 "by default" due to this.
>>22990738why are westoid writers like this? what causes such narcissism?
>>22990738>Get hired to do a job>Refuse to do the bare minimum>Brag about ithuh?
wait which one is the thread
>>22990879The one with the non-fucked OP, so this one.
>>22990826It's more americans than the global west, France did many faithful adaptation in the past as an example, including mecha works.Not all american writers are bad obviously, but there's a strange culture of almost them thinking they are "superior" to other cultures...Or they are just lazy.
>>22990738>IGN complained that the story focused more on the pilot than “the granular mech customization that is the cornerstone of the series”. Apparently they regarded this as a bad thing.
>>22990657I don't think you trustIn myself-righteous suicideI crywhen Ravens deserve to die
>>22990904which is a fair complainhaving two seconds of a camera panning into a hangar with different paintjobs would have done the trick, though it just scratch the surface it would have been enough
>>22990738>writer hired to do video game adaptations hates the source material and knows nothing about it
>>22980617>That Arquebussy VP ACI must say, the months leading up to the release of AC6 had me frothing at the mouth for the expectations being set by the Melander C3, Arquebus VP4X and Orbiter Bipeds, it was looking like a 3rd gen Renaissance. Post release though, it was a majority of gen 4, anime references, or Kawamori's new style of giving his designs Nike sneakers + top-down tapered MG Ray legs, rather than planted bell-bottom legs he did before. Just a little more of those early leaked designs, and I'd die a happy man
>>22991034thisBalam and Arquebus need a few more games to develop into better expies of Crest and Mirage. i'd also be interested in seeing how the other companies developed their design philosophies as well
>>22990914oh, this is one of the garage kit modelers i've been followingi didn't know he did stuff on pixiv
>>22990825Tangential to your (very good) point; I am still completely convinced Mister Zaki was not responsible for the elements that made DeS and DaS great. The newer games show a severe lack of understanding of the original vision. If anything I believe him to be a driving force in the "formulation" of these games and I hope he never works on an AC game.
>>22991154>and I hope he never works on an AC gameDidn't he work on 4 and 4A?
I did the last mission of AC1 with the heavy quad legs and base booster. The platforming section felt like a personal sleight against me for not picking up the hidden booster that would’ve solved my issues. Same thing happened with the moonlight laser blade stage I had to platform and stubbornly wait for my energy to refill, what a lesson to learn. Can’t wait to start the human plus run through that’ll be a breath of fresh air styling on the game.
>>22991172How did you feel when that one MT appeared when you got midway through the jumping part
>>22991172it's mostly a quad issue, platforming is ass with them
>>22991172yeah, that section was more or less built for reverse joint ACspeople who switch to RJ from biped for that mission have a way easier time getting through it
>>22991154It's less an issue with him, I believe he's still a good director, even if I wasn't a big fan of Elden Ring (I understand why it was extremely popular though as it's more streamlined, could say the same with how AC6 is compared to other games really, though I liked AC6), it's an issue more with fans and people. He himself want more people to be known and to be directors. It's fans who create these issues. It's like how a team who was going to make MGS4 was bullied by people with death threats to resign and bring Kojima back.>>22991155He was director of both
>play melee>get nothing but rat and kite opponents>tired, decide to switch to neb missile tank to deal with these fuckers>next match is another melee player who I rofl stompawfully convenient
>>22991174I laughed as I fell back down. The chain gun is the real mvp not me. The dual nineballs while having no ammo left except the laser arms was a neat puzzle, but his grenade launcher can easily kill him if you kite properly.>>22991182I used reverse joint on my aborted run and I was surprised by how smoothly they played, the extra jump height would’ve been useful. I dunno why they didn’t have more NPC acs use them.
>>22991237the jump height probably makes them more annoying to fight
>>22990787Nobody cares about your retarded husbando fanart, fag
>>22991154>>22991155>>22991186He was also a planner for ACLR.
>>22991172>>22991237Wait until you find out the Nineballs are all optional and you killed them for nothing in return.
>>22991309yeah, didn't he write all of ed's stuff?
>>22991047if FROM could retcon how nasty Carla's whole AC was aesthetically and design something like the AC3 opening Mirage HW or Crest HW you posted, it'd be a good start. Snail's Sazabi SLAMMED AND SMASHED pants are goofy, but Carla's "dessert" legs looks like it has cellulite, an ironic name, it makes me think Carla is a 300 pound hamplanet instead
>>22991310pretty sure you have to kill both for the 100%
>>22991324For what purpose would you even care about that?
>>22991326completionism
>>22991326>>22991331Isn't 100% the first game how you acquire the seventh level of H+, which is to ignore weight limits, like PLOW ACs?
>>22991331You mean autism.>>22991338By the time you have that you have no use for it. Besides PLOW is so ridiculously overpowered compared to regular H+ that you may as well punch in an invincibility cheat.
>>22991338no in AC1 H+ is optional, it does give you 1% and can bring you at 101%you may be confusing with AC3's OP-I that need ten upgrade for 10% completion
>>22991310I tested this by forgoing one and beating the game you can only get rank 1 if you kill both or goad them into exploding.
>>22991323i almost got convinced that carla's legs were good based on some pixiv art of it but i checked the game and realized the artist just drew the completely differently...still, it's a good frame of reference for how it could be reworked a little. and the rest of the frame's parts are quite nice.the real RaD stinker is WRECKER. the legs and arms look nice but the core has too tall of a waist section and the head has a fucking manbun
>>22991340You might want PLOW going into the ACMoA 2nd disc if don't want to send every enemy AC to the parking garage shadow realmOr if you make your own custom arena of disgustingly OP ACs.
>>22991349Are you seriously implying MoA cannot be beaten without PLOW unless you abuse the parking garage?
>>22991355I never said it CANNOT be. Someone MIGHT want a screw around H+ file, and a normal file. You don't need the parking garage, but a new player may not have the patience. After beating disc 2, on hardware, with no file transfer, its nice to have fun with an AC that's as ridiculous as ACE, when its all said and done. You know, having fun?
>>22991396PLOW isn't fun, it's like using a gameshark. Regular H+ sure, but PLOW? No. It just let's you ignore every single metric of AC building, it's like you turned on kid mode so your six year old brother could play the game.
post your dogs sorry i would've used a new image for this but the USB i had all of them on is broken
>>22991471I'm very happy with my dog and hope I can make one equally as fun and cool in AC7. Ignore the deleted post I grabbed the wrong screencap on accident, only slightly different but I am autistic about this shit.
>>22991471Nice tits bro
>Rusty headshot the Ice Worm 3 times with this thingHow the fuck
>>22991554Let's be real he probably had a targeting computer the size of a tank doing half the work. Steel Haze is not running an FCS with anywhere near enough range for that, in fact no such FCS even exists.
>>22991560I am more amazed by how they even target anything with the cannon. Look at how the thing is braced, they would have to use the tracks to adjust the aim. I think the tracks can be found in game in the spaceport too, just with a smaller, conventional cannon (and that one is still crazy big compared to your AC).
>>22991554I bet getting that barrel to move to the right or left by the inch probably takes a couple minutes, I dont even see a mechanism for elevation change.
>>22991566>>22991567Nah dude he just curves the bullet like in Wanted.
>>22990738>the writer DIDN’T PLAYED ANY AC GAMES and based everything over Reddit post.So he legitimately thought Ayre was a manipulative headmate feeding into 621's worst impulses when she's the complete opposite in the game? I want to know what illiterate redditor he based this off of and how this view is as popular as it is. Thank god this was changed, what would've been a complete butchering of her and 621's relationship and character was made into an interesting alternative look into how a coral waveform that isn't as benevolent as her might behave.
>>22991706>interesting alternative look into how a coral waveform that isn't as benevolent as her might behave.We already had this in the games, mind you. Seria was so apathetic towards her own kin that it terrified Dolmayan away from Coral Release and pushed him to try and kill us for pursuing it.
>>22991542Nice matte black.
>>22991717It'll never happen but I'd kill for a prequel novel or short story of Dolmayan's relationship with Seria. Whatever they had going on was some seriously toxic shit, because despite rejecting her and being horrified at her apathy, he still deeply cares for her and admits that if she was the one who had to kill his kind in order to talk to him he would've been fine with it.
>>22991727I think Dolmayan might have also just been looking at it through the wrong lens. Not all Coral is seemingly sentient, Allmind refers to Ayre as a C-pulse wave "mutation". The existence of Seria as well could imply it's a somewhat common mutation, but it's still a mutation. Ayre seems to have a bleeding heart for all Coral, but Seria just may not have cared about Coral that wasn't sentient. It's still cold as it is still alive and her own species, but to her the non-sentient Coral may have just been seen as a resource to be utilized. Even Ayre is content to use Coral as fuel to serve the greater good when she pilots Echo/Sol and she doesn't have any comments against 621 if we use a Coral generator/weapons and turn our AC into a C-weapon either.
>>22991718Thanks anon, I thought it looked nice too. A shame the garage menu adds a somewhat blue tint to everything, it can make nailing colors like that a bit of a bitch. A lot of black shades just look blue in there so it's very easy to accidentally go too dark or overcorrect too hard.
Just watched the Secret Level AC episode and holy shit it was so garbage.It started out ok, then it just went down hill with the stupid looking fights and the edgy trash ending.It left such a sour taste in the mouth too, because the series was overall pretty enjoyable and by a studio that delivered really strong animations with good scripts in the past.It had so much potential and it was all wasted in a terrible script that completely missed the core message of the armored core series, dumb calitrannies and keanu reeves.
>>22991756maybe you just don't like mecha, anon
>>22991758Have better standards.
>>22991758>liking mecha now means slurping down terrible slop and enjoying itYou are behind so many layers of cope that they are acting as a PA toward good opinions.
>>22991766>behind so many layers of cope that they are acting as a PAIguazumaxxing
>>22991338>ignore weight limitsWasn't that just a little bonus for beating the game? Did it even carry to PP and MoA?
>>22991542it's not a bad look for the hunchback core, nice work
>>22991471Been fucking with the AC4 movement regulation (I hate game-enforced QB lockout) and made this abomination. I'm starting to get fond of how broken it can be, when it's not dying to missile spam.
>>22991793how do quads play with that? do they still have a hover mode or do they just have really insane ground speed
>>22991795Disappointingly slow ground speed compared to bipeds. I have the NGI boosters on it because they worked the best stat wise but normal boosting is so fucking slow it feels like I'm a geriatric until I press the QB or AB button. Since I ran quads in 4 I'd personally prefer something like the hover "mode" be normalized for boosting with the quad and recharge when you're on the ground. Maybe I'm expecting too much
>>22991799>it feels like I'm a geriatric until I press the QB or AB button. AB rush quads are unexpectedly viable, especially if they're running charged linear rifles.
Does Ring Freddie knows he's just a backup second fiddle to Dolmayan ?
>>22990657So is he a schizo or just a sociopath?
>>22991832Every AC pilot is a little bit of both.
>>22991832He's a schizo. He has moments of geniune grief and then immediately follows it up with cold dismissal, seemingly as a coping mechanism for everything falling apart/his comrades dying.
>>22991832Yes.
So the anniversary came and went with no announcement. And nothing at the VGAs either other than more of the funny rolling simulator game. Meaning it's very unlikely ACVI is getting DLC. Meaning our next stop is only ACVII in 4 or 5 years from now.Man I hate it here.
>>22991857You should be used to it by now, what with the 10 years gap before VI.
>>22991860Funnily enough AC6 was already in production at least as early as 2016, just a few years after VD released, they just took forever to actually make it. You''d think if they had something greenlit after AC6's success it should come out a lot faster with a ton of assets and production pipelines already done.
Can some lore god clear this up for me? What exactly is the relation between the Gen 1 games? Phantasma seems like it can more or less take place at any time, but AC1 and MoA seem kind of mutually exclusive to me, seeing as both end up with you destroying the AI controlling the Nest.
>>22991970MoA is a retelling of AC1 since as you said it they both ends with destroying the controller behind Nest. If you want to be anal about it MoA is after the Chrome - Murakamo conflict with Chrome losing, while that conflict is the main plot point of AC1. While AC1 has no clear sequels MoA has AC2 has a sequel timeline-wise. PP is whatever, it's totally disconnected from both AC1 and MoA, maybe it would be more correct to put it later AC1/MoA since there is no Controller around.
>>22991471awoo
>>22991970>>22992015PP is a prequel to AC1/MoA and takes place two years prior. The protagonist of PP is not the same as the one in those games however, so yeah they are disconnected.
>>22990738I hate writers I hate writersI hate writers
>>22990738>even keanu patrolled that writerthank christ
>>22990826>>22990900Jesus Christ. They paid a respected sci-fi writer like Peter Watts probably a lot of money to write an Armored Core script, and he couldn't be assed to play a game.
>>22992121>>22992131>>22992153Writers are some of the smuggest fucks in the world.>Why would I engage with the source material? I don't need it, I'm a better writer than the hacks who made it. I'm sure I can figure out the lore without it.Dude should be crucified. He should never work in the industry again.
>>22992165His environmentalist ass would probably like the 4th Gen duology, but he's so full of himself he won't even engage with Miyazaki's plots.
>>22992119I never knew of that, where is this info from?
>>22991471
>>22990738>writer was a bit disappointed by how the mecha battle looks because it wasn’t realistic enough then says «Admittedly, the whole premise of giant mechs punching each other in the face is fundamentally silly»Ok, let's check this dude's notable works>transhuman vampires on antimatter-powered shipsFor fuck's sake how up your own ass can you be?
>>22991860Oh yeah, I can wear this sense of disappointment and resentment as comfortably as my grandma's knitted sweater.
>>22990738>Hired to write a script for a video game franchise. >Wrote a shitty fanfiction.>If the show succeeds, you say it's my divine writing skill that made it happen.>If the show fails, you say you can't polish a turd.Tale as old as time.

>>22992240Armored Core 10 Works Complete File states what year it takes place in.
>>22991799Quads should be running very fast like a spider on drugs.Change my mind.
>>22992556That would look absolutely fucking ridiculous at the speeds ACs move in 4th and 6th gen.
>>22992259>>transhuman vampires on antimatter-powered shipsevery single work of his sounds like the most pretentious bullshit I've ever heard of, damn
>>22992556you're a couple gens too late for that
>>22991857>He thinks we are getting an ac7
>CoralsterHuh. Never noticed that before.
>>22992607"""We""" already have AC7 at home.
>>22992607>saving some random idiot's doompostingwhich got proved wrong with AC6 anyway
>>22992607We almost certainly are. Miyazaki has already voiced interest in directing another AC game.
>>22992607now that's a /v/ post if I've ever seen one
>>22992607DMC5 and AC6 were both kino, you're a fag. Go back to /v/.
>>22992496I just found out that exist, thanks
>>22992632I felt level design wise DMC5 could've been better still a fun game by all means. I have higher hopes for AC as a whole even if some people had a lukewarm reception for 6
>>22992607The thing that gets me is all these /v/ posters talking like they gave a shit about old AC a decade ago, if they were actually around for it
>>22992639The only people who didn't like AC6 are morons that got filtered by the stagger system. Old style AC combat would not work today, every enemy being a bullet sponge you just shoot for a few minutes until it dies is boring as hell. Stagger adds a great dynamic element to the gameplay.
>>22992614Do you like CORALSTER or CORAL STAR better?
>>22992658>fromosoft doesn't drill their gunbarrelsfor shame
>>22992645They're just trolls and retarded zoomers trying to fit in. Actual AC fans loved AC6.
>>22992658CORALSTER.
>>22992658So... Sumika was a wave-mutation from before the great destruction?I always thought that if there is a generational link, AC6 would be the earliest game in the timeline. Since augmentation/H+ is not from some unkown past technology but actively being developed.Or her AC is called that because it's pink and corals are pink.
>>22992660not even for the NX remake, too.
>>22992607You know it's a shitpost because no one pretends to like VC4.
After a while of my computer being a stupid bitch I think I'm able to play this game again. I've been watching some videos of tournaments and stuff and wow, the playstyle has really shifted focus to a real defensive lean. Is this build here just a scrub stomper or could absolute maximum fuck burst damage and high speed actually serve well in this meta?>>22991471Reporting.
>>22992703https://x.com/sleek00/status/1443864963014008837>Too bad. It's not "Coral Star" but "Coralster". It doesn't mean "coral-colored star" but something like "coral-colored guy".from the designer of CORALSTER
>>22992717WRECKER arms? i'd be interested to see how much range you can push out of it.
>>22992639i only played DMC3 back in the day, but i know some character designer at capcom like trashy whores, and i'm all for iti should try to make pinups decals for my AC
>>22992724Honestly Wrecker is mainly for style, but also for full-guns-blazing recoil control because when I have so little trigger-time before cooldown fucks me over, I can't afford to miss, but the intended range is so damn point blank that it would be an awful idea for either of us to stay close longer than .5 seconds. It's meant for a hit and run kind of playstyle given its fuckhuge burst, high cooldown time, and really fast groundspeed.Webm kinda related, it's dated to right around when Ranked first launched and the scene has evolved a lot I've noticed.
>>22992565Look on tumblr to see if it has a fandom
>>22992651I agree, I played through the whole series right before 6 to see what it was about, I had fun though the gameplay in the missions could get stale (I might add I played them all back to back so maybe it's just a personal issue).I would've loved the debt system again it's impossible to get broke unless you play extremely horrible and since you can repeat levels from the begining it wouldn't really had made a difference for lower skilled players. It could've made for a more fun challenge for those that would've liked it>>22992757Still Kamilla is back and Itsuno left that's a bit of the reason why I'm cautious with DMC as a whole
>>22992765>double etsujinnothing ever changesit still looks like the recoil is insane, i was hoping it'd be like WRECKER + DUCKETTs where the recoil is mostly gone and you just get a bubble lazer
>>22992799If these arms keep the bubbles straight-er for even 3-4 shots that's still good enough because these things have fuckhuge damage potential and I don't want to lose any of it to RNG, just my own lack of skill
>>22992794To be honest the debt system was never well fleshed-out. Save scumming always dodged it and even if you didn't do that, you could easily circumvent it entirely by just using energy weapons. In games with arenas it's even more of a joke because the arenas VOMIT free credits all over your face. I'd like to see an AC game where debt is a risk throughout the entire campaign. Jack up those ammo and repair costs boys.
>>22992858Fair, save scumming will always be an issue no matter what you do though which sucksMaybe have the arena back with lower cash rewards but with part, weapons and custom decals and patterns more prevalent as rewards
>>22990738>> writer was a bit disappointed by how the mecha battle looks because it wasn’t realistic enough then says «Admittedly, the whole premise of giant mechs punching each other in the face is fundamentally silly»Did you twist this intentionally or are you just retarded? He liked the version of the fight he wrote because it was more tactical and realistic, and was disappointed that it didn't get animated, his line about robots punching eachother being stupid is him shrugging that off.
do arms' firearm and recoil specs extend to back weapons? if i have cannons on the back and then missiles and melee on bashos, would the cannons suffer?
>>22992933Yes.
>>22991471Reporting.Literally took me till yesterday to realize the general was in /m/ instead of /vg/.
>>22992959This is a nice looking one. How did you do the gradient color on the legs?
I wanted to enjoy using weapon bays but the extra input just to switch weapons, as opposed of just popping missiles and back mounted cannons, is throwing me off, especially when I also have to remember which weapon is currently active. It was fine in V/D, I don't know why it's not clicking for me here.
Don't know if you guys would be interested in this, but I found a whole bunch of Armored Core fanfiction.https://archiveofourown org/works/search?work_search%5Bquery%5D=&work_search%5Btitle%5D=&work_search%5Bcreators%5D=&work_search%5Brevised_at%5D=&work_search%5Bcomplete%5D=&work_search%5Bcrossover%5D=&work_search%5Bsingle_chapter%5D=0&work_search%5Bword_count%5D=&work_search%5Blanguage_id%5D=&work_search%5Bfandom_names%5D=Armored+Core+%28Video+Games%29&work_search%5Brating_ids%5D=&work_search%5Bcharacter_names%5D=&work_search%5Brelationship_names%5D=&work_search%5Bfreeform_names%5D=&work_search%5Bhits%5D=&work_search%5Bkudos_count%5D=&work_search%5Bcomments_count%5D=&work_search%5Bbookmarks_count%5D=&work_search%5Bsort_column%5D=kudos_count&work_search%5Bsort_direction%5D=desc&commit=SearchIf you know how to use AO3's search function, I bet there's a way to filter out the ones that have shipping in them if you're bothered by that kind of stuff.
>>22992977Thank you!I just edited that faded square decal in one of the first decal categories to make it red, then I just kept pasting it around the feet until every side was even.
>>22992988I've found that firing weapons gets in the way of the switch input, so I try to use single shot stuff like a shotgun or a bazooka (never more than one cause I'm not gay) when using a switchy build.I wish it banked the input longer or something.
>>22992994>fanfiction
>>22993023Look I know this post is cringe but please give it a chance. There are pretty good ones on there that don't have cringe shipping, that focus on cool things like expanding upon what the game left out or worldbuilding or whatever.
>>22993023Bro we literally do the exact same thing, except we call it "theorizing".
>>22993039speak for yourself, I write futa fanfics involving crack ships
>>22992959holy fuckin' shit that is a really nice emblem anonyour decalwork goes perfectly with the BASHO arms too
>>22993039>Trying to make sense of the story and lore is fanfictionYou're retarded
>what if it just fired a billion missilesBalteus is the kind of shit Eggman would make
Hellhound's been posting a lot of detail shots for the AssMan stuff and I hope he gets to those Balam heavy bipedspicrel is an AC that there's an ad for after the bar scene
>>22993097who?
>>22993097I feel like having ads for AC parts is retarded. Only an extremely absurd small portion of the population can afford them and even want them. These things are so expensive they make fighter jets look like something you can afford on minimum wage.
>>22992994>checks around>a few people write 621 as a girlI'll never really understand why people like to envision 621 as a girl. I know it doesn't really matter but I still find it odd.
>>22993090nah the goofy wheels are the kind of shit Eggman would make
>>22993105if its a bar for AC pilots then it makes sensemany defence corporations run ad campaigns for multi million dollar fighter jets in the real world
>>22993105you realize fighter jet manufacturers post ads for planes only congressmen will buy? If anything AC parts are cheaper since individuals regularly purchase multiples.
>>22993111>If anything AC parts are cheaper since individuals regularly purchase multiples.They aren't though. In past games for example missions where you had to defend tanks/jets/helis would only penalize you 1k-5k credits max per unit lost. It's safe to assume that's how much they cost to be replaced, and no AC parts are that cheap in any game.>>22993110Fair I guess, though there's nothing suggesting that's a bar for pilots. Judging by the dumped shitty lore blurbs from the "writer" and guy who salvaged it it seems more to me the bar was intended to be a Rubiconian one frequented by the RLF.
>>22993123>There's nothing suggesting that's a bar for pilots...Other than the picture Keanu leaks his juices all over that says "Forged in ash, we stand as one" and only shows Keanu clearly, in the far right of the frame.And the Barkeep telling the patrons to not fight him since he's valuable
>>22993129Anon all of that you just mentioned supports it being an RLF bar, not an AC pilot bar.
>>22993123>It's safe to assume that's how much they cost to be replacedits probably just a financial penalty and not the true unit costalso gameplay balance vs narrative etc etc
>>22993130So are you saying that the RLF are just gonna go against the corps with clapped out Rubicon AKs? Even MT pilots might still be interested in a high end AC.Keanu is already a pilot there, he's just extremely autistic. The other details make me think he's in a small collective of pilots. Not to mention it's not like he needs to travel super far to get to his garage/catapult.>>22993123Forgot to add but to the corporations AC parts don't seem that expensive, what with free parts being thrown in as a mission reward, it seems like samplers saying "do work for us, we have cool shit, try it out"
>>22993105you just don't know the vision brotherBalam ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVm6hvFpld0Arquebus ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyD0liioY8EBAWS ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snnFrwzTDJs
>>22993136Anon we know for a fact the RLF only has 5 ACs at their disposal, one for each finger named in the higher command.
>>22993089Most "theorizing" I've seen is just massive stretches that make zero sense. Not so different.
>>22993107Although they might not be as common, there are female AC fans out there. You're also looking at a fanfiction website, and the VAST majority of fanfiction writers are girls.
>>22993139I figured the BALAM recruitment ads for Rubicon went something like this >https://youtu.be/AW-pj6tCVWA
>>22993163They are completely different. Fanfiction implies you're writing brand new fucking stories and including ships and OCs and shit. Even the most batshit theories aren't at the level of ridiculousness of fanfiction, they are headcanon at absolute worst. Stop using words when you don't understand what they mean.
>>22993140there's also Rokumonsen and Rusty(undercover)
>>22993171Even if we add those and Keanu, 8 pilots is not enough to make an exclusive bar for.
>>22993168>and including ships and OCs and shitNot always true. Fanfictions ARE brand new stories, but they don't have to include that stuff.
>>22993167>I'm Michigan, and I am here to ask you one question and one question only:>EXPLOSIONS?
>>22993177But Balam and Dafeng don't make explosives, Furlong, RaD, and Melnite do. None of which are part of the Balam group.
>>22993180>Dafeng don't make explosivesthe pocket sand melee weapon
>>22993180XAUN-GE
>>22993182Man nobody uses that thing.>>22993183Oh yeah I forgot that bazooka exists.
>>22993168>fanfiction is stupid because it's not realThat's like saying science fiction is stupid because it's not real. The whole appeal of fanfiction is that you're making up your own story from a pre-existing thing. It's not supposed to be real. But it's really fun though. You should give it a try.
>>22993186i do + not relevant to the point
>>22992994Or maybe we can just leave hate comments on their cringe yaoi ship fics. I think AO3 allows you to put images in comments too if you know HTML.
>>22993174there might be other people in that bar like independent mercenaries, or mechanics/operators for any of the aforementioned pilots
>>22993196why would i do that
https://steamdb.info/app/1888160/depots/
>>22993189Post your AC then
>>22993198Because it's fun. And women are always ruining games anyway.
>>22992994https://archiveofourown org/works/61056301Haven't read this one but from the summary it seems interesting
>>22993209would rather play videogames instead
>>22993167Are only the redguns former prisoners or also the regular troops? Maybe they didn't had a choice.
>>22993218red signed up, i think the rest of them are all prisoners though
>>22993218>>22993237Michigan, Nile, and Red all signed up. Wu Huahai, Volta, and Iguazu were all criminal conscripts. Not sure about Hakra considering he's dead by the time you get to Rubicon.
>>22992858>I'd like to see an AC game where debt is a risk throughout the entire campaign. Jack up those ammo and repair costs boys.a certain hardcore mode in vd is designed for you.
>>22993263>gen 5No thanks. I played it once and that was enough.
>>22990657>>PC release>>peak DLC erawhy aren't we getting more new parts, is it because of the need to constantly balance everything for multiplayer?
>>22993331no, it's because ER asset flips require half the effort and make double the profit
>>22993333>double
>>22992607this is your post isn't it?
Until we get a concrete teaser or reveal, any notions that Mitsubishi is working on AC7 instead of yet another Soulshit entry are just fanciful daydreams.
>>22993359Bro the steamdb bro check it bro dlc its real bro trust me bro.
>>22993359just wait a bit, fromsoft is probably having a low profile with the kadokawa acquisitionconsider this, they doubled in workforce size this year and these people certainly arn't paid to sit on their ass, especially since wages at fromsoft also got augmented
>>22993359He literally stated he wants to direct a new AC game
>>22993379He also stated that shadow of the erdtree was the size of limgrave.
>>22993377>these people certainly arn't paid to sit on their assThey are being paid to make elden ring battle royal, which makes sense if you wanna train newbies on a low risk project.
>>22993382>They are being paid to make elden ring battle royalit's allegedly been given to a small steam, which make sense since most assets are already made
>>22993380It is though, it just has more vertical area.

>>22993208Also not that guy, I use it on one of my themed ACs.
>>22993453Iguazu if he was cool instead of being a gacha whale.
>>22993453The Pulse Blade felt wrong on a Redguns build at first, but I guess it isn't that far off from the Pulse Shields Iguazu and Wu Huahai already use.
more Gun 10 because why not this is actually a really old version of the build
>>22993525The TENDERFOOT AC schematic you got for pre-order is specifically marked with the G13 emblem and is using the pulse blade. It's fine if you ask me.
thoughts on the latest frame parts set from Project Six?
>>22993550>Project SixVaporware that looks really mediocre, don't care. Yeah it's made by regular people but that was to fill the void left behind by AC games. AC is back so, fuck that shit. It looks incredibly sloppy in every video I've seen of it, like I'd rather play DxM.
>>22993577>DxMIs it that bad?
>>22993583Yes. In screenshots it looks fine, but go look at any MVs or gameplay and you'll want to puke. It's horribly sloppy.
>>22993584No I meant DxM
>>22993585Oh, no not really. DxM is -okay-. If you go into it expecting a spiritual successor to gen 4 you'll have a reasonably fun time. The balance is atrocious though, I could go on all day about the problems with that. Even so, I dumped a couple hundred hours into it and am fairly excited for the sequel. It's not AC, but when we had an AC drought DxM was a fairly nice oasis for a time. Also the soundtrack kicks ass.
>>22993589>Also the soundtrack kicks ass.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hmdnzUleSI&pp=ygUJR3JpZWYgZHhtHOLY FUCK YOU WEREN'T KIDDING. I LOOKED UP ONE RANDOM TRACK AND MY EARS HAD AN ORGASM.
I hope fromsoft fires the faggot who made bazooka projectiles DISAPPEAR then reappear as proximity explosives mid flight>go for javelin punish>enemy perfectly lined up>targeting reticle says "hit">hear explosion sound play>but the projectile just phases through him because I was at the exact distance where it arms mid flight so for a split second the rocket just doesn’t existmost infuriating thing in this game by far, even more than bad netcode lasers. it also just screams lazy game design because instead of programming the projectiles with an actual arming distance the game just spawns a new entity or whatever the fuck it’s called.
>>22993626i thought i was going insane when i was watching arena ACs dodging INTO my bazooka roundshow hard is it to make it a proxy round the whole time and just make it activate its proximity sensor after a specific travel distance
Chatty should've been the final boss of Liberator.I get that you were choosing between Walter and Ayre, but fighting enraged Chatty in a super mech instead of zombiefied Walter would've hit harder.
>>22993631>fighting enraged Chatty in a super mech instead of zombiefied Walter would've hit harderNo, hard fucking disagree. Liberator ending in a duel with Walter was supreme cinema. The Chatty thing would've been cool as a prior mission, but ending on that? Nah, that's a huge step down.
do you guys really use the coral weapons that much? Am I missing out on them? I'm gonna play that ACVI inferno mod and depending on how tough the enemies get, I might try and build around them.
>>22993637Redshift Rifle's charged shot is a Volley gun. If you fire it off in melee range you do stupid damage.Laser Lance -> Redshift volley strong
>>22993638devilish. I never experimented with the redshift rifle after getting it. A laser lance one two punch might be fun to mess around with.
>>22993637-Coral Oscillators are both very strong-WLT rifle is sort of a meme, but the uncharged shots are good if you can shake the weight-REDSHIFT rifle is to be used like a coral shotgun, the charged shot is a delete button on staggered enemies, regular shots are just okay.-Coral missile is gonna be either hot fucking trash or ludicrously strong depending on what it's paired with and what you're up against.>>22993638>Laser Lance -> Redshift volley strongI actually use this combo on my main AC pictured here: >>22991542 it's a ton of fun. Stupid easy to land in PvE and you'll get some lucky uses out of it in PvP too. Definitely not meta for PvP, really funny in 3v3s though as you can catch someone unawares and just wipe them off the face of the map.
>>22993637>Nebula RedshiftIt’s just a harder to use and harder hitting Javelin Alpha. It’s uncharged poke is okay but the bullets are slow. Best used as stagger punish slop.>Walter RifleEven after all the buffs it’s merely a complimentary weapon meant to be paired with an actual workhorse weapon like etsujin. Not bad when paired with bad cook either. Primary charged shot is pretty decent with fast bullets however the charge time is slow, Secondary noodle beam is best used for pressure and suppression and never ever use it without en to spare or else you’ll just be a sitting duck.
>>22993652>STAGGER PUNISHES ARE LE SLOPstopped reading there
>>22993629I don't know if that can even be done with the Dark Souls engine which AC6 runs on. The engine is a fucking mess.
>>22993679technically it's the AC4 engine, just souped up really hard.
>>22993679>>22993681All I ever see people do is shit on game engines. Does ANY modern game run on a good engine? Because if the internet is to be believed the answer is no.
>>22993679The engine isn't a problem, 9/10 "engine limitations" are just an excuse, it's just a programming logic issueJust give the projectile a larger hitbox where if you touch it the bazooka shot its explosion sequence but direct hits give some extra damage
>>22993686No, I am talking about the self arming after a distance part, not the proximity part. I don't believe the engine the game runs onis capable of changing the properties of a bullet, just swap between bullets by despawn and spawning.
>>22991832Most Corp AC pilots are sociopaths and/or narcissists (See Snail, Stiletto, Iguazu, Do Su, Arisawa, etc) most Ravens or non Corp Pilots are Schizo (Everyone in the RLF bar Flatwell, the debtor hiding in RaD's tunnels, Grey Gloom's pilot(forgot his name), the Dosers), but every now and then we get a special Pilot who is both like Pater or Old King
>>22993686>Just give the projectile a larger hitbox where if you touch it the bazooka shot its explosion sequence but direct hits give some extra damagethe arming distance is important so that it's not a better option for stagger follow-up than a melee weapon
>>22993692i want an NPC raven that takes missions in accordance with corporation stock prices
I never thought about it but... how does Ayre pay us? Where does the money come from?
>>22993731she does erotic writing commissions for suspiciously wealthy furries
>>22993731She specifically mentions how in that mission where you investigate the old tunnel for her. She sells intel.
>>22993731it's not money it's friendship tokens
>>22993731Why does Almond pay us after Coral release? Why would it even matter. You know in older games like PP, Stinger actually... Who gives a shit.
>>22992565How do I prevent my original work from ending up like that? I'm kind of scared.
>>22993905I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I would say try to put something of your own experience in your work. Not something you've seen on a screen, read in a book or heard from a speaker. Don't try to use fictional work as an outlet for political frustration. Don't try to convince the reader you are a learned academic, who will teach them avaluable lesson. Generally assume your audience is of equal intelligence as you are.Try to make something that you would actually want to read/watch yourself. If you can't get yourself to look at your stuff, it's likely noone else will.
>>22993905just don't be a smug "2mature4you" retard like that guy and you'll be finewhocars about the book itself, the fact that he shits/looks down on stuff like Armored Core for being "unrealistic" while writing even more unrealistic shit himself is the problem
>>22991542That's a good doggo.
>>22993913>If you can't get yourself to look at your stuff, it's likely noone else will.Not him but I have had people like stuff I wrote despite me cringing hard when looking at it.
>>22994021Nta but I flip-flop between really enjoying what I've written and then hating some abstract part about my style and thinking of it negatively even when I still find what I wrote to be amusing. I'm thinking it's autism.
How did he know 6 wasn't getting an expansion?
>>22994218>dual linear riflesFor what purpose
>>22994324To send a message.
>>22994327What's the message? That you suck at building ACs?
>>22994338I dunno. I didn't make it.
>>22994324Harris is the only rifle with some semblance of range and damage, everything else sucks.
>>22994350So use plasma, coral, a bazooka, or hand missiles.
>>22994324to stagger and do damage? what kind of question is that, linears are great
>>22994218Replace one harris with rensetsu rf and you got yourself a meta setup.
>>22994351Why would I? I use rifles because I want to use rifles. Harris is the rifle that works for me, it's that simple. Stop being autisitc, anon. If I wanted to metafag I'd be using completely different build.

>>22994421Agreed.
is it true that Ayre wonnered?
>>22994395
>>22994421how do you do a PA-like system without having the mecha be gay-ass god machinesi only desire to pilot shitcans
>>22992639Level design in DMC overall is kinda scuffed, largely thanks to it going through the superficial motions of a Resident Evil scenario as a side effect of being a developmental off-shot of RE up until DmCDMC switched to the Bayonetta school of fuck it just go on a platformer adventure. And if you want to really get into the details of people complaining about 5, you have to be the kind of autist who does style beast combo videos and has entire essays ready to copy and paste about how weird gameplay quirks in one entry that don't exist in another are why the first is good and the second is dogshit.Essentially, you're entering the territory of "Bayonetta 2 is bad because of the changes to the scoring system" levels of scrutiny that completely overshoot the average player's experience of "funny pizza man cuhrayzee.
>>22994218>>22994355nta but the RAN-RF is just a bad fashion choice with that silly banana sticking out of it despite how nice the stats area friend of mine told me that the mags on the BAWS guns are meant to imitate the curved blades on kama to make it apparent that they're peasant weapons but that just makes it as hamfisted as the geara doga's getting STG beam rifles
>>22994519Then go play mech warrior, here in armored core we pilot peak technological might.
>linear rifles are good!You guys will never make S rank
>>22994519>shitcansReally depends on your definition of shitcan but there are at least a few ways you could do a PA like system without escalating action to the scale of gen 4. Also what >>22994563 said, Mechwarrior is peak "walking at relaxed pace while clicking at targets until they disappear" piloting style shitcan simulator.>1Have personal force fields be absolute basic standard in universe, like a byproduct of having a fuctional generator. Maybe have mecha not have much armor plating because that would limit their mobility, which, alongide versality, may be the only thing going on for them as mobile weapons platform. Just have the force field easy to both deplete and recharge, with only warship sized or bigger generators being able to keep the field up under sustained strain.>2Use ECM as na impromptu damage negation field, in the sense of it being able to spoof a set number of locked in munitions until it gets overwhelmed or perhaps disrupted by consecutive hits that actually connect, like shotgun pellets, splash damage from explosives or some sort of electronic counter measure to electronic counter measures.>3Just go the Battletech route and have the armor plating and the structural integrity be separate. You can magick up new armor plating depending on whether there are reapir stations or the mecha are pumped with nanomachine juice but the structural damage stays during mission. Now you can go and play with your walking trashbin to your heart's content so until you get blown up.
>>22994569if someone can make it to S rank in HAL 826 then the sky's the limit lil bro
>>22994577Someone being skilled enough to win with bad shit does not mean that bad shit is magically good. This is not how metas work.
>>22994569I actually got to S ranks using heavy dual Harris RJ with Javelin B the one time I tried climbing. But that was several season ago, I dunno how workable it would be on current patch.
>>22994594NTA but it wouldn't be workable in current patch at all. Shit is just cancer now with rats everywhere.
I think there's something intentionally wrong with Sulla's AI. When you look at his build it's fairly decent comparatively to all the other arena ACs and yet he's one of the easiest ones to beat. He has great defenses and stability, solid weapon selection, and is using proper boosters for his weight class and yet his AI seems to handicap him. He takes frequent pauses in combat and doesn't fire when he should, it seems silly. Also, no core expansion at all for some reason. I get you fight him stupid early but they could've just given him a weaker build or let him be the challenge he should pose. You get a resupply after him anyway and even at full power he'd still be way easier than Balteus.
what’s the meta like on each platform?here on xbox it's harris kite city and now light weights abusing basho core.
>>22994603On Playstation it's about 50% meta sweat shit like that and 50% people running around with fun/soulful builds with the occasional meme build. A coin flip really, until you hit super high rank anyway then it's just sweat for days.
>>22994602might be because he's the first real AC opponent you face, not to mention he's right in the middle of a long mission and right before another boss
>>22994597Yeah Lamms, legions on them. I remember checking S rank leaderboards some time ago and seeing a couple Harris builds with Nile arms, Snail legs using Gridwalker boosters. But that was early post-patch period, don't think these builds are used anymore.
>>22994602he's old as fuck and an obsolete gen wunner. he made his career on smurfing walter's noobs.
>>22994606>long missionIt's not. It's actually a really really short mission unless you wipe to Balteus 47 times. You fight two 3-man MT packs with a couple cannons, Sulla, and then Balteus. That's it.
>>22994470she comfyed at the very last
>>22994563i get what you mean with mechwarrior but i feel like it should be a shitcan that's going up against technological might sometimesit's kinda hard to explain in mecha terms... have you watched Initial D? it's like that.>>229945753 seems like a really nice option, i think fromsoft sorta did something like it before too with metal wolf's HP system2 also seems good and it'd be an excuse to reintroduce the VS MG response stat
>>22994637>but i feel like it should be a shitcan that's going up against technological might sometimesis that not why they made the BAWS shitbox parts set?
>>22994637>but i feel like it should be a shitcan that's going up against technological might sometimes
>>22994637idk about you but I got the impression that the HC was more advanced than the AC and Arquebus Balteus was the most advanced mech by far.
>>22994650yeah and obviously the ibis series are heads and shoulders above everything else
>>22994654idk I felt that Snailbalt was the most advanced mech.But it should've had a Coral generator. Arquebus had the Coral for months(?) between Convergence and Escape I think.
>>22994642yeah, exactly. but it'd feel weird if BASHO had PA.
>>22994664Would it? The shield units essentially are PA and you can easily slap one on the BASHO. Same goes for core expansions.
>>22994664We literally have primal armor as an expansion in 6.
>>22994668>Same goes for core expansions.i wouldn't be so sure about that, the only one that's running an expansion on BASHO in AC6 is dolmayan
ALLMIND owes me sex
>>22994677Rummy owes you sex
>>22994664I think you could compensate by having it be like the old GA machines.Weak af PA as default and to compensate, thick ass armor. Or maybe even just have the default running no PA and in exchange having some module that increases the total AP or perhaps some kind of *limited* active regen. Like standing still will fill the health back up to a certain margin, incentivizing cover usage and a higher emphasis on tactics/hit and run gameplay.
looking at resin stuff coming out of moonrunes landthis confused me for a second until i remembered that there was a 30mm trainer AC kit
>>22994751no way that thing is to scale
>>22993731Her OnlyFans
Hot take, let's have PA -AND- stagger. Stagger bar cannot build unless your PA is gone and decays much more slowly than it currently does. Two layers to work through would add a lot of complexity to the combat.
>>22994768Awful idea
>>22994768>ACs being built to have a PA shredding weapon, a stagger building weapon, and a stagger punish weapon. The fourth weapon being to double-up on whatever part of this process you want to prioritizeI like this idea.
>>22994768Dreadful, Never type again.
>>22994768Actually yeah that might work. Just PA or stagger alone is boring.
>>22994758well yeah it's a 1/72 gun on a 1/75-ish kit
>>22994768What about rifles that penetrates PA?do sniper/laser rifles just immediately bulid stagger?
>>22994786As I said in my idea you cannot build stagger while PA is up, PA penetration would just work like it did in gen 4, you take extra damage through PA if they're using weapons with good penetration.
>>22994770>>22994778Yeah yeah we get it samefag, the stagger system filtered you.
>>22994768This is just a nerf to light and medium weights. The same FA meta will happen again, heavyweights with railguns, snipers and lasers (ignoring pa and stagger), and camping behind cover, while the other AC's have to work through TWO defense mechanics.
>>22994768Also>Two layers to work through would add a lot of complexity to the combatNo, thats bloat.
Speaking of RAVENS MUST DIE, does anyone have a model rip of the LiV?
>>22994804No? Just compensate by giving heavyweight parts bad PA ability.
>>22994602>even at full power he'd still be way easier than Balteus.I died to Sulla way more times on my first playthrough than I died to BaltBaltimore's just a build check
>>22994864Confirmed to have only fought post-nerf Balteus. If you lost to Sulla repeatedly, pre-nerf Balteus would've skullfucked you into a refund.
how does PA work? 4 never explained it
>>22994876https://youtu.be/8mMV0fuy1O0?si=_JnWIu8NKS1GR7V5This basically sums it up. second layer of defense that protects you from high firerate guns, they have to shred it or penetrate through.
>>22994876You have a separate EN bar called the KP bar which maintains your shield. Using OB or AA also depletes it, with AA also preventing it from making anymore KP for a time depending on your chosen generator. If the bar is empty, you have no shield and you're going to suddenly take like 5 billion times more damage than normal.
>>22994876>>22994889Oh and getting shot also depletes it, obviously. How much damage the bar takes is determined by your main parts PA durability and how fast the bar fills is determined by your generator.
>>22993105considering how common and moddable acs are, i'd say they would be less on the level of fighter jets and more on the level of civil aircraft in terms of acquirability. basho frame would be your cessna 172, fat and old but ubiqtous and reliable.
>>22994768I don't want to build stagger.I want to do damage.
>>22994903Stagger system allows you to do even more damage though, PA means you do less.
>>22994903You can do crazy one shot builds in AC6, that wasn't possible in 4th gen without pile bunker or Kojima rifles/cannons, both of which are complete memes in gen 4. If you think 4th gen PA mechanics had you doing more damage than 6th gen stagger mechanics, I'm inclined to doubt you ever played gen 4.
Fuck everyone in here who wants stagger gone. For the first time in AC history, melee is incredibly viable and strong thanks to stagger as a mechanic.>Gen 1Melee was your only left arm option, barely useful at all. More of an emergency option when you were low on ammo or opened a door and an MT happened to be in blade range.>Gen 2See Gen 1, except they also introduced energy shields here but those sucked too due to absurd EN cost.>Gen 3/3.5Introduced left arm guns which utterly BTFO melee for the entire gen and solid shields which only compounded the uselessness of melee.>Gen 4Melee is a complete meme here. You could sometimes find melee only rooms which were fun, but against anyone with even a sliver of skill and guns melee ain't gonna do shit.>Gen 5Melee is now wholly unused and SUPREME ELDER GOD TIER MEME TERRITORY>Gen 6Actually a viable contender for the first time ever thanks to stagger punish and how CQC focused the game is, but mostly due to stagger.
>>22994941The masses yearn for the return of the Grind Blade
>>22994941true melee in 6 is usable entirely because of kikaku turning you into a projectilemoonlight, whip and explosive thrower are theoretically melee but in practice they are projectiles, barely any different from something like wuerger
>>22994950Didn't 4th gen have stupidly good blade tracking? Might have been only on a specific regulation
>>22994941Weren't the blades broken in gen 4 online due to the netcode?I also hate that the blades in 5th gen no longer lunge you forward, they feel really jank in general.
The hope may be vain but I wish From switched to a more modable engine. With 6 being the first Armored Core released on pc I kind of expected there would be custom campaigns and whatnot at this point. There are parts mods but other than that, it's just The Same Game™ But Harder And With More Fodder Enemies™.
>>22994948As cool as shit as the grind blade was, it was never good.>HEY WANNA GIVE UP TWO WEAPON SLOTS FOR AN ABSURDLY HEAVY NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO LAND ONE-SHOT WEAPON THAT ALSO REMOVES YOUR FUCKING ARM ENTIRELY THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SWING 1-2 TIMES TOPS BEFORE IT RUNS OUT OF JUICE AND BECOMES DEAD WEIGHT?!Real talk we got robbed on how useless UWs were.
>>22994960Broken in the sense that everything in gen 4 was broken. Blades were no wear near meta, not even close.
>>22994964They were there 100% for cool factor, the point was to prove how big your balls were by landing one. If the 1 hit kill weapons were viable at all then they'd bw broken and the game would become a 1shot fiesta. Besides, I think some of them were useful against the superbosses
>>22994941>Melee is now wholly unused and SUPREME ELDER GOD TIER MEME TERRITORYthis dude never faced full acc kumo or vendetta 1.0
>>22994969They shouldn't have been one shots. They should have been multi-use with just good damage.
>>22994960>also hate that the blades in 5th gen no longer lunge youYou are supposed to lunge yourself. https://youtu.be/gkTrXwTtnMg?si=scvc5yH1Jj0dSp-T
>>22994950>true melee in 6 is usable entirely because of kikaku turning you into a projectileWLT and laser lance don't need KIKAKU and they fuck shit up.
>>22994602Someone has pitted Sulla against Balteus. He still lost with a practically Balteus killer build. This guy just SUCKS.https://youtu.be/JC6Z316yLyU
>>22994980See this is exactly what I'm talking about. They intentionally made Sulla's AI the equivalent of a 6 year old.
>>22994941>Melee is now wholly unusedclearly you've never been divebombed by a dual kumo LRJ
>>22994941Stagger only ever bothered me in PVP, in PVE I think it's fun and 6 is overall the best AC game.
>>22994978>WLTnoodle >lancebuilt in kikaku, also never hits lol
>>22994964giga missile was a guaranteed 2 kill on the enemy team in some maps and god help you if some memer brings legion pulse into that one beneath tower map
>>22994983Did you know the woooOOOO guy in sekiro was a reference to lrj kumo players.
>>22994602Got infected with Smallmind's air-headedness.
>>22994989>>lance>built in kikaku, also never hits lolNTA but I use the lance and hit a lot with it, even made S rank. The key is to use a coral generator and harass the shit out of the opponent, leverage your superior EN capacity and huge instant recharge to put them in a position where they simply cannot dodge it because they're tapped out. Ain't gonna work on shit like LAM kites for obvious reasons but yeah.
>>22994980hey to be fair, with one more repair kit he would have won
>>22995010and he got caught by assault armor too, he didn't have ayre to warn him about it.
>>22994980Here is Freud defeating Balteus and Ibis (overall 40% win rate). Freud has a very good win rate in NPC match-ups, so even if LOCKSMITH is not an optimal build, his 94.7% mission success rate is not just fluff.https://youtu.be/4Qo99Z5eRHMhttps://youtu.be/fHwqBeREgPM
>>22994973God, I forgot how awful gen V looks>Brown everywhere>Tons of shitty post-processing>extremely obtrusive UI, gets even worse with scan mode>particle effects covering up your entire screen when fighting>awful performance due to all the aforementioned issuesSuch a shame, the actual AC designs are amazing but they're covered in 20 layers of PS3 gunk
>>22995049>covered in 20 layers of PS3 gunkIt adds personality.
>>22995049You also forgot:>all this shit makes it a nightmare to emulateI'd love to replay gen 5 just for ACVD but I don't have a fucking $8,000 super computer and don't wanna blow like $400 on an Xbox 360 or PS3 with everything I'd need to play them including the now ridiculously overpriced games themselves.
>>22995065not to mention all the features that require online. Isn't like 2/3rds of the shop locked behind clan level ups?
>>22995065VD is thankfully digital and have you tried xeina emu?
>>22995071>Isn't like 2/3rds of the shop locked behind clan level ups?You can level it by yourself.
>>22994941>
>>22995073Yes, every emu I've tried makes it a laggy unstable stuttery mess that crashes constantly.
>>22995077Oh is Haldeman the new meta shotgun now?

>>22995090only for the meme FUCKING infiniteinsert iron man themed ac
>>22995065Look up pcvd, a specifically optimised for VD build of rpcs3 I don't know how that works. VD went from a painful to look at slideshow on regular rpcs3 to a near buttery smooth experience on pcvd for me and my machine didn't cost anywhere near what your super computer would. Plus, you can apparently play pvp, if it's something that interests you.>>22995071>Isn't like 2/3rds of the shop locked behind clan level ups?No, it's locked behind player's personal team level ups, although apparently you could've gotten early access if you joined a high level team online. Now just git gud and you'll eventually unlock it all.
>>22995105The reason why that bulid is smooth is because it has 3 fixes inside the files, doesn't work without them.
>>22995084Mind telling your specs?
>>229950776.5 would have fixed this you know...
>>22995077Oh wow, good one FROM. Peak balancing right here.
>>22995116Steam deck
>>22995139Dont those things kinda struggle a bit with 4th gen? Like ps3 performance. You are better off buying a ps3 and getting vd on the psn store for 20 bucks.
>>22995145Or jailbreak the ps3.Save money and you can get V aswell.
>>22995145Never even tried 4th gen on it. Plays AC6 and Elden Ring fine though so you'd think it'd emulate VD well enough but it's literally unplayable. Fucking PS3 architecture.
>>22995211>Plays AC6 and Elden Ring fine though so you'd think it'd emulate VD well enoughYour cpu needs 8 cores and 16 threads for gen v emulation. The steam deck is 4 cores and 8 threads.
>>22995225And that's exactly my point, that's fucking ridiculous.
>>22995226https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Rpq_2D4Rf3g6O-x2R1fwTSKWvJH7X63kExsVxHnT2Mc/edit#gid=0Get yourself a B tier cpu.
>>22995231My man my point here is that emulating an 11 year old game should not require twice the power it takes to play a current gen one that has much better graphical fidelity. I know I could whip out my wallet but I don't want to, fuck that.
>>22995233Emulation is very intensive. ace combat 4 didn't use to run well and it was a ps2 game.
>>22995240Or the people making the emulators are hacks
>>22995233Blame devs not porting their old shit forcing fans to jump through hoops.
>>22995245I'll blame both. The devs for being fags and I'll blame the fans making this software for being inept.
>>22995244I mean, it's almost as if people making emulators are amateurs and not professional developers with proper tools and devkits.
>>22995266Well someone with those things should one-up these amateurs then.
>>22995271Sure I can, who's gonna stop me?
>>22995270For free?Pay those professionals nigga.
>>22995275I'd gladly pay for an emulator that could run this shit at reasonable hardware levels for how old it is.
>>22994768Nah. PA that regens by default and mild stagger for heavy hits like bazookas and rockets or melees when it pops.also omnidirectional overboosting
>>22994876Damage reduction, basically. Once it pops your NEXT is basically made out of paper mache, which is why they kinda need it to be effective in combat.
VI-tourists don't know about the famous Armored Core grip
>>22995303Been playing since AC2 and I've never once used this meme grip or understood the point of it.
>>22995303>V-tourists think they're real fans
>>22995303>AC grip meme>He's calling OTHER people touristsFucking lmao
>>22995303Literally nobody ever used this, you're outting yourself.
Half the fun is coming up with your own custom mappings. This is what I used when I was playing with the dualsense 4 on duckstation.
>>22995303>>22995354This is bait.

>>22994545>meant to imitate the curved blades on kama to make it apparent that they're peasant weaponsDeepest lore jap autism.
>>22995419some of the parts are named after bugs right? Isn't armored core about pitting your manufactured bug robots against one another? The kama scythes could highlight how some of the robots look like mantises in the design element.
Does software rendering look the best for AC3 on PCSX2? Or am I doing it wrong? All other options look like someone punched my screen.
>>22994545the mags are just trying to hit that "futuristic kalashnikov" vibe
>>22995434Giant AKs, my beloved.
>>22995434I still think most ACs were aping bug anatomy in an effort to appear more organic.
>>22995419>>22995437They're curved because bullets are fat on one end and thinner on the other, so they stack better curved
You guys remember the name or the dev studio of the spiritual successor to this game? I think they spun off of From around 2015 or 2016 and remember there being a website but I can't find shit about it anymore
>>22995676Daemon X Machina?
>>22995705Nah that came out and is more an AC game than a Frame Gride game.The website had a fantasy mecha with basically motorcycle legs and a lance jousting another guy.It seems to be lost media. No matter how I phrase it all I'm finding is gay reddit posts
>>22995393i got a guess, he use the emulator binds to have the right analog doing face button inputs>>22995427you don't need anything else than pcsx2, granted that you didn't fuck up the settings or got an antiquated release, use nightly with default setting, just bump up the internal resolution to 3x for 1080p and that should be good
>>22995787>i got a guess, he use the emulator binds to have the right analog doing face button inputsThat'd be a retarded way to do it. You can just leave the controls at default and rebind everything native in the emulator without touching the game settings, that's what I do. Saves you a step entirely when swapping between games.
>>22990738>writer was a bit disappointed by how the mecha battle looks because it wasn’t realistic enough then says>mecha>realisticthere it is
Did any of you retards actually read the blogpost??The writer hasn't said shit about wanting the combat to be more realistic, he said he wanted it to be more granular and tactical.
>>22995676>>22995727Merkaba? The thing with mecha chariot things jousting in a desert? Had a Steam page and everything, then it just disappeared one day. I have no idea what happened to it.

>>22996493>merkava>chariotnow wait a fucking minute
>>22994941But this is completely wrong? Melee has been viable since AC1. Sounds like a skill issue to me.
Alright anons, im back. Time to fire up AC: Nexus>what the fuck is that menu>what the fuck is that blur>why does the movement feel wrongWhat the fuck? I dont know if its because I took a short break from AC but this feels so wrong.
>>22996716probably a problem on your end
>>22996716Nexus is considered assYou can fix the blur with emu hacks and settingstype A controls or type B?
>>22996723Come on now anon, this feels like a mess>>22996727I had to use the new type A of course, now im thinking ive been using the dpad for so long i might have gone stockholm syndrome about it. Im probably gonna get used to the movement quick, but i gotta remove this blur and i think i hate this menu the most out of all the AC games so far.
>>22996716fuck around with emu settings. Then again, I just looked at my screenshots from back when I played it and they have the blur too. it's gone in LR though
>>22996738i got a ps2 next to me and pcsx2 nightly with default settings and it look about the same
>>22996716nexus is just fucked up like that in a lot of waysthe movement is for sure different, it feels more slippery than the previous games with how you slide around while running and i swear you stick to wallsthe menu is also ass and i hated having to pay for part tuning (which you can't undo without selling the part back at a loss lol)there's more too like no arena or briefings, shit simply feels off
>>22996744>>22996761I dont mean the emulator is fucking it up, I mean why the fuck does the game have blur? It looks terrible. Where is my crisp readability.>>22996770The movement feels like my meck is trudging through mud. Granted I just started playing and I am rusty but damn.>no arenahuh, I thought disc 2 had arena on it? Whats the point of the ranking tab then? In fact who the fuck designed this atrocious UI?
>>22996779well, like always the starter AC is total shit so replace the gen and booster ASAP. And learning to bunnyhop is mandatory for gen 3.5
>>22996779get a new booster, should be your first investment anyway, the feel should go away very fastdisc2 is a bunch of bonus missions based on past games, don't give money but you can get parts
>>22996779>I thought disc 2 had arena on it?it might but i'm not gonna bother checking, like another anon said disc 2 is primarily remakes of missions from past gamesdisc 1 doesn't have an arena, not until after you beat the game>Whats the point of the ranking tab then?i dunno, to show you profiles and performance stats for all these ravens you'll never fightit's a lot like the ranking tab in the first game in that you can completely ignore it without consequence
>>22996779There are 1v1 missions. that's basically the arena.same shit happens in gen 5.
>>22996779you get arena missions alongside story mission depending on your rankingyou sound like you have an inability to adapt and go out of your comfort zone, granted nexus isn't the best AC game but if you just played the game you'd have figured it
>>22996786>>22996788Well after upgrading my booster and gen I can say that the movement still feels sluggish. Its like the timing for bunnyhopping is completely different from previous games>>22996793>>22996799So the "arena" is just 1v1 missions you can only repeat after you beat the game like AC2AA. well that fucking sucks>>229968071v1 missions masquerading as the arena is more of a slap in the face than anything. it should be a separate activity. just calling that "the arena" is nothing but cope and no amount of sass is going to change that
>>22996344The best designs in AC had the core have similar proportions to that of a tank turret, flat and wide, and everything else was an offshoot/side grade The orbiter core suffers from this, it's too tall in AC6I say this while posting a picture of koto kit's size inconsistencies but still
>>22996939even so, they usually have a taller bigger waist and neck
>>22996948It looks more like you aspect ratio is squished horizontally idk mang
>>22996948This looks like you're trying to fit 16:9 into 4:3.
>Y-you can't do this to me! I am Arquebus!>No. -We- are Arquebus.>EUAEUUUUGH!>muffled soviet anthem in the distance
>>22996939orbiter core is more narrow than it is tall, it's got a good length/height ratio.
>>22993702I'd like it if AC7 (cause we're not gonna get 6.5) had a stockmarket ala GTA V or Cruelty Squad, taking different missions for different corpos or groups results in changing stock prices, options contracts etc, if you do too much insider trading then the SEC sends it's inhouse AC squad to rek ur shit, unless you bribe the right people.Some other ideas>Dividends based on not selling stock before a mission>Being a big shareholder allows you to vote to influence what a corpo does in the story>>I.E. Does a corpo focus on R&D or Territorial aqusiition, changing what future missions and AC parts are avalible to the player>Debt is back by either taking out bad loans to buy stock and parts, finishing missions in the red, Calls and Puts going bad
>>22997400Nexus kept statistics on how much missions players/other Ravens did for every corp. Don't think it had much gameplay impact but it was cool seeing who favored what corps, often correlating with parts they use.
>>22997400that seems like an easy idea to implement. You could even automate it like MGSV's motherbase system with automatic stock trades above or below a certain threshold. I was debating earlier if it would be needlessly obfuscated, but the problem remaining would be making the mechanic engaging when they already cut the fat regarding progression.
>>22997505>that seems like an easy idea to implement. You could even automate it like MGSV's motherbase system with automatic stock trades above or below a certain threshold. I was debating earlier if it would be needlessly obfuscated, but the problem remaining would be making the mechanic engaging when they already cut the fat regarding progression.Could make it essential with a punishing debt system, so maybe not AC7 but say for a 7.5, could also be cool to have preferred stock that allows the player to access special missions or get access to parts early in the game, thing is this idea realistically isn't suited to a mass market (as mass market as any /m/ is) AAA game but some indie, when I lrn2code I would like to make somthing like this.>>22997480Neat, never played nexus but sounds cool and I can imagine that you could track player behvaiour based on builds for example when I played my first game on AC6 I sucked Arqubes' dick as much as possible and played a lightweight EN build
>>22996939>>22997174ORBITER is fine, FIRMEZA has it way worsei couldn't help noticing that the one in-game screenshot that i actually liked with the FIRMEZA core has the waist section hidden/edited out as much as possible

>nexus second disk>prototype performance test>can't S rank it because at some point the prototype will friendly fire meit's the last mission i need a S rank for
Just finished the secret level episode. What the fuck did I watch? I dont think I am deep enough into armored core, so can someone please explain?
>>22998094The characters all are original to the show. The setting and concepts are inspired mostly by AC6. Other than that it is pretty open-ended and left to interpretation. You are basically supposed to wonder what happened.
>>22998094It's loosely based on gen 6>Keanu is from an old batch of augmented humans>He's possibly schizo, possibly talking to aliens>Finds more augs likehim>Is a narcissistic prick so he kills them to feel unique
>>22998107>>22998119I did manage to follow the plot and everything and I do understand its an original script and all. I am just confused by what the other augmented pilots wanted from keanu exactly? They say that they are just playing with him and all because they want him to join them, but then the guy at the end still wants that after he saw keanu kill the rest of his gang? It feels like the show really tried to make it personal with the whole they are just like you and fell flat. If anything I would find it more strange that just random pilots get together. I also expected the augmentation to be far more crippling, as in just straight up fusing you with your mech. Pretty good action though, thankfully it was mostly actual mech fights. Not even close to an expert, but those are just my thoughts.
>>22998160augmented pilots were likely slaves or otherwise doing this against their will. They wanted keanu to save them from whoever was augmenting and controlling them>augmentation cripplingSevere mental issues, and having to carry around a dialysis machine isn't enough?
>>22998161I mean yeah I figured as much Its the angle that makes it weird, like the show is trying to have this gotcha moment with keanu slowly extending his finger and the pilot grabbing it with his hands only to get squished. I absolutely expected him to be permanently fused to his AC not being able to even leave the cockpit but that could just be my inner edgelord talking.
>>22998176You know, that whole idea of augmented pilots being fused to their ACs like into an iron lung is a widespread idea about AC6, too. Eventhough there are multiple pointers that augmentation surgery does most of it's damage to the brain, psychology and/or personality.I wonder why so many people independently and unintentionally project this idea. Almost like some Mandela effect shit.
>>22998221Because fusing to the machine is cooler than turning into a schizo
>>22998221>that whole idea of augmented pilots being fused to their ACs like into an iron lung is a widespread idea about AC6, toonot really no, there's the in game sketches that show various pilots walking around, it isn't even an idea for AC at large as there where official art depicting a traditional cockpitnow it's a common headcanon simply because it's the most realistic aproach
>>22998234It's because most people have room temperature IQ and watched the trailer where 621 is taken off cryo and go "he's in bed connected to the robot, he MUST be a cripple"
>>22998236pretty sure it's just been picked up as a meme and barely anyone thing it is canon or anything
>>22998236Or it's the idea actually being appealing to many people. Like >>22998229 said.It would fit in universe thematically and logically. Someone who needs to be in the perimeter of his war-machine or he dies. Like the AC being a cage that keeps you alive and is an extension of your being.To clarify: I know From didn't intend this and there is evidence against this in game. I just think it's interesting so many people get the same misconception. Maybe just from not engaging with all the content, just looking at the story-trailer, or just thinking the idea is cool. But maybe there is some underlying wish from literal Otakus who project their own caged existence onto 621. Seeing him as a logical conclusion to the video game addicted, unsocialized, sad lifestyle so they can empathise. tl;dr People who commit to the vegetable-theory reveal themselves as isolated individuals.nwrnn
>>22998236>>22998250It's trailer + game making big emphasis on augs with all the talking about aug generations of 621, Iguazu and Vespers + not finding sketches of pilots.
>>22998250well, Keanu needs to carry around a dialysis machine so maybe they can be away for a while but need to go back to the AC to flush their kidneys or something.
I like stagger

>>22998309That laser shotgun turret is so sick, a shame we don't really get anything that looks similar for ourselves. Guess that goes for all PCA parts though
>>22998314We kinda have that in the back laser shotgun, though it doesn't look as cool.
>>22998314the real shame is that we don't get something like those rotary autocannons
>>22998309Koto model kit when?
>>22998309I've always wondered about the weapon placement on this thing. The missile launcher is good, the shotgun is mostly good though the launcher blocks some of the field of fire. Then the two stubby miniguns are also mostly good, though again block each other's firing arcs. But then you get the two biggest autocannons stuck facing forwards, and to bring them to bear it has to point its massive weakspot at the enemy. Who designed this?
>>22998358unironic AI-designed tank
>>22998361that's... a fair point
>>22998362i'd like to see The System become the main protagonist at some point because their designs are very very funnyalthough maybe it'd be too much of a rehash
>>22998358I thought the turret is only for attacking and the fuck off machine guns are to deter from attacking the weak spot.
>>22998365It's odd, most PCA designs are sensible. Even the more out there stuff like Balteus and Enforcer seem well thought out. But then there's this guu. >>22998370That's a dump strategy, especially against an insurgent group not afraid to RUBICON BANZAI
>>22998380Yeah, man idk. If I were in that thing I'd never anticipate a head-on assault.

>>697808675 >>697808675Need more parts, more of every type of weapon, co-op in missions, more pvp modes like 2v2s and FFA, more pvp lobby functionality like lobby names, lobby descriptions, and the option to ban certain weapons/parts and the option to turn on friendly fire and self harm (this would nerf cheap one shot builds that spam shit like grenade launchers and plasma cannons so hard, drastically improving pvp.)The amount of people I have to message/put on spectate or kick in my lobbies cause they're running annoying ass missile kites/boats, super heavy double zims/double earshot builds, lance + double LCR combo spammers, spin2win blade spammers, or literally any AC with terminal is fuckin ridiculous. Takes me fucking literally hours to find a mere five honest and crutchless people to 3v3 with. At least if they added those lobby upgrades I mentioned, the moderating I need to do to make a non-unplayable cancer ridden faggot lobby would all be automated.
>>22998462Oops. Wrong thread.
>>22998358Core theory dictates that pilots produce the best results when they're in exposed cores and directly face the danger in close quarters, hence the "weak spot" and main guns forcing the pilot(s) to put themselves in danger
