Are you a Wanwan or a BOWWOW?
>>23019817Gen 4 fan, does that make me a Nyaa Lynx? Or a wanwan lapdog?
>>23019817Also, is that fucking Curtis Rothko?
>>23019817I would never consume Japanese media dubbed into English
>>23019836i do believe the gen 4 chibi mascot is a cat, pictured here at the top
Any head parts from previous gens you would like to see return?
>>23019866all of them except maybe dome?
>>23019869Faggot.
>>23019866>AALIYAH>LAHIRE>White Glint>Nineball's head>Vixen (forma de gen 3)>Fascinator's entire look>The transforming heads from V/VD, especially the one from the teaser
>>23019871>t.picrel
>>23019876i feel like fascinator's core would work really well as an elcano medium core
>>23019866Is there a similar picture but for the gen 3 ones?
>>23019897Nope but someone should make it.
>>23019903this is how you know that other guy is a faggot since he said no DOME but didn't say shit about HELM
>>23019903HD-ONE my beloved
>>23019915i'd say dome is closer to the HD-D-9066both ugly, but it was always your right to have bad taste
>>23019866>>23019903I will always be fond of the old Agent head part.
Just 100% the nexus revolution disk. It was great revisiting gen 1 and seeing how much the games have progressed, but it really was just a "best of" sort of extra so its unfair to compare it to nexus itself. You can actually make stingers AC setup and that shit looking real good. Now I am off to suffer ninebreaker
>>23020040Just beat the arena in ninebreaker, it will reward you with the best head in the entire gen.
>>23020045If it looks like shit I aint using it.I may be retarded, but im gonna be retarded in style.
>>23020055It goes hard
>>23020040a tip for the lock-on time challenge: make a fatass anti shell tank with a shield and park yourself in one of the small gaps on the edge that only exposes your head, use a rifle with a sideways fcs as that gives the biggest lockboxalso the CR-LHT92 legs can sometimes outperform the RJs in movement tests because you don't need to double-tap to jump
So do all the gen 3.5 games run at 30 fps for no reason? damn
>>23020116Consoles locked everything at 30fps then.
>>23020118Gen 2 and 3 both run at 60 though
My mistake im just being retarded. Only the menus are locked to 30 fps in 3.5 for some reason
>>23019903>>23019866HD-GRY-NX/YH06Ladyb for meNo bullshit, no en-load, no computer nanny-handholding, all defense, ungabunga, luddite warrior aesthetic is king
>>23020157it's kinda fun how satoh just became a plastic kit modeler instead of just doing more and more mechanical design jobs
>>23020178>Responsible for everything regarding NineballHonestly he was just as integral to AC as Kawamori, what I wouldn't give for him to do a reprisal bonus AC design again
>>23019964that's the mind beta though
>>23020201what crack are you smokin nigga
>>23020116Please understand, the PS2 was already struggling as-is.
>>23020201>Jack-O post-op
>>23020215Its all good, its 60 fps in missions. Just a weird choice to make it 30 in menus
So realistically, if I wanted to get all the parts from ninebreaker, how long would that take me? I swear if there is some obscure part that you get for gold ranking every single training mission, which there are probably 200 of, I am going to lose my goddamn mind
>>23020237i'll tell youimport your nexus save to last raven and buy them from shop i'm pretty sure it work for most parts
>>23020249can you actually just buy all the gear in LR or are you fuckin with me?
how do i make a fun midweight build in AC6 that isnt just a worse lightweight or heavyweight
>>23020259i'm not 100% sure, but it's usually the case when you port a save from a previous game, all previously introduced parts are available in shop now there are a few exception but i'm sure it's an oversight like there's a missile launcher you can't buy or find in PP and can use it in PP only by importing a save, it's fixed in MoA tho
>>23020237In lr, the parts that appeared in nb can be obtained in missions.
I hope we can see more types of MTs in the next game.
>>23020268>>23020277Im gonna have to check it out. Thank you anons.Also, these kinds of legs where they go forward, backward, forward are cool as all hell. Please tell me they become an actual thing later on and not like 2 choices every game.

>>23020915I wish we had more encounters with the Weevils. I was caught off guard the first time by how strong they are. Doesn't help that I have to wipe out all the wheels before that.
>>23020659Most excellent
Do people here just play AC6 now or do you still prefer playing older AC games, and why if I may ask?
>>23020965I don't think it's as much of a matter of general preferance as it is being in the mood of something specific. I replay games because I feel like it.
>>23020965>and why if I may ask?because they are fun games.
>>23020965I haven't even played AC6 yet, I'm going through all of the old games in order before I get to it.
>>23020915...where exactly did you find the scans for this?
>>23020992E-hentai, most reliable place to get Mecha artbooks.
>>23021027Found it, thanks buddy
>>23021069No problem.
>>23021080That's 9ball's gun! Such an odd shape for a rifle
>>23020965AC6 is my first Armored Core game so I just play that. Wouldn't mind to play the older ones but I don't see them anywhere on the xbox store, could get the old 360 discs but I forgot if all 360 games are backwards compatible or if its just a certain amount currently.
>>23021137Please tell me you're joking. There's an emulation guide right in the fucking OP.
>>23021080Crest sure does make weird looking pitot tubes for their cores huh.
>>23020965I played all of them except ACV and VD because they suck for emulation. I like all of them for different reasons.
>>23021141I'm not joking.
>>23021143>pitot tubesAnon...
>>23019897Just found that the Formula Front guide kinda does this.
>>23020965I revisit older games every now and then but as it's the newest, I mostly play AC6. AC6 also has the most fun combat imo so yeah, that has a lot to do with it. Stagger adds a dynamic element of gameplay AC has always lacked for me.
>>23021085...Anon that's the 1000 MG from AC3.
>>23020965At the moment I'm not playing any AC games, but I did download 4 and 4A to emulate. I think I'll go through ghem before I go back to 6, 4th gen's the only one I haven't played at all.

>>23021413what rifle is that? i don't remember it
>>23021686That's the MARVE from gen 4, he's one of those freaks that mixes parts between gens.
>>23021692ha that's why, now gen 2 to 3.5 is fairly mixable imo, maybe even with some gen1 parts, but 4/5 is a no go
>>23021695it's a shame since gen 1 didn't get that many koto kits in the first place
>>23021710To be fair gen 1 ACs are really low detail. Super blocky and not pretty to look at. There are exceptions like Stinger's but that's just because of concept art and we don't get those parts in gen 1 anyway. Honestly it feels like AC was always meant to start in the PS2 generstion, PS1 just doesn't have the horsepower to do a mecha franchise justice.
>>23021732take it back
>>23021748Hold on now, show me how your boyfriend looks in the game.
>>23021756
I may have been too harsh on Nexus' flamethrowers. They are nowhere near as strong as in Silent Line, but they aren't as bad as I thought they were. Being able to shutdown an enemy AC while spewing flames all over is quite fun. Although they are complete ass when it comes to any sort normal mission though which is a shame.
>>23021732the concept art's good even for non-kawamori parts like the LN-1001B herei don't thing they've been released in an all-encompassing set though. actually, even some kawamori ones have been lost since the XXA-S0 and possibly XXL-D0 core parts have been attributed to him despite there being no art proving iti'm almost certain Annihilator has no model kit because they can't get the reference art for some of his parts
I'm kind of mad that FROM gave the Xylem turbojets and then called them ramjets... and the ship cruises above the atmosphere where air is no longer present.
>>23021782maybe it's like, space-coral
>>23021782obviously they're variable cycle engines, transitioning between modes. Remember it takes off from sea level. It only crosses the karman line when it's just about to impact the plant. Besides, we know the upper atmosphere is saturated with Coral, so that's what the ramjets are scooping up
>>23021748No, I don't think I will.
Was removing turn speed a good idea?
>>23021879No.
>>23021879on one hand, i still can't hit lightweights for shiton the other hand, shotgunner builds can
>>23021879No. Being a LW in 6 against someone who isn't in the same area code as you while trying to do anything but kite as hard as possible is sadomasochistic. Combined with extreme damage drop off and limited range it's just not fun.
>>23021879I feel like the removal of turn speed is a byproduct of From wanting AC fights in 6 to be overwhelmingly CQC if anything.
>>23021879Yes.
>>23021586Use parts that visually resemble it. Radio head, laser rifle. No back weapons of any kind.
>>23021909That's cool and all but saying you're an MT is incredibly disingenuous imo, you're WAY more durable, faster, and hit WAY harder even as a cosplay AC.
>>23021586>ImplyingBut you can anon! Not even Balteus stands a chance against the ingenuity and the industrial might of BAWS!https://youtu.be/DDd_SH1XB7A?t=34
>>23021915>Spirit of Motherwill OSTWhat the fuck am I watching lmao
>>23021915I fucking hate RTS games but this makes me want one such game where you command a squad of MTs.
>>23021935This is the one kind of AC mobile game I'd actually accept.
>>23021908Why
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG1abwlia8ESo, what exactly was that "everything" that 621 apparently had and Iguazu was aware of that he lacked?
>>23021979Confidence and skill. If Iguazu wasn't such a little bitch he'd be as good as 621.
>>23021978Game is more fun without it. Never liked waiting 5 years for my AC to turn while eating gunfire. If I wanted realism I'd go play mech warrior.
pvp lobby anyone?
>>23021997Ask on /vg/, they have a fromsoft general there.
>>23021999you guys don't play ac6 here?
>>23022003That was a joke, greetings from /erg/. That being said your odds of finding a lobby at this hour are limited.
>>23022007dang, so it's closer to erg FC times?
>>23022009We don't have them regularly like erg has fight clubs, but if you ask at prime time hours like those your odds of getting one going could be decent yeah. It really depends. If you want regular AC6 pvp I'd recommend joining a discord.
>>23021979a healthy amount of testosterone and a lack of a gacha addiction
>>23021979Skill, unironically. 621 is notorious almost off the bat for accomplishing crazy shit. Meanwhile, Iguazu who's also a gen 4 hasn't done shit. Iguazu has had to listen to people talk about all our successes over and over seeing as 621 never fails a mission as mecha Jesus and every time he tries to fight us he gets his ass completely handed to him. Shit dude he tried smack talking us about going to climb the wall while we would "watch from the sidelines" and instead our roles got completely reversed with us taking the wall BY OURSELVES (since Rusty was ordered to bail) and he was stuck on the sidelines with his dick in his hand.
>>23021985>Never liked waiting 5 years for my AC to turn while eating gunfireThis really isn't a problem because the games give you options to reposition yourself (side OBs, quick turns, walljumps, drift turns)
>>23022150>side OBsAs in the booster extensions? Literally nobody ever used these. Fucking come on dude. In gen 4 it wasn't an issue sure because of QB turns but in old gen it was absolutely an incredible chore of the gameplay. Gen 5 I'm mixed on because I didn't care for gen 5 in general.
>>23022152>As in the booster extensions?No, overboosting sideways.It's what heavies do to try to shake off a player.
>>23022155And if you're using a hanger or EO core what? You just get fucked? It's still retarded. Lol
>>23022157As a heavy you should already have good firepower, you need all the mobility you can get.
>>23022158I never once mentioned heavies, you did. I don't play heavies in old gen.
>>23022161Complaining about turn speed while playing as medium weight i assume?
>>23022163Yes? Am I not allowed to not enjoy slow turn speed? I didn't say it was "unfair" or "unbalanced" or "bad", I said I didn't enjoy it. I'm entitled to my opinion dude, I don't like the slower turning speeds in older AC games and never did despite playing them since gen 2. Gen 6 is really fun for me in part because it did away with that. Again, if I wanted realistic clunky mecha movement I'd play a realistic clunky mecha game like mech warrior. I like AC as a franchise for having intense customization and borderline anime craziness and gen 6 delivered on that.
>>23021979621 kicked Michigan's ass + over 50 of his MTs goons. Iguazu and his boyfriend got their asses kicked in by Michigan. He is a bitch with skill issue.
>>23021879No, turn speed should come back along with 4th gen's input for quick turning. And hard lock should be removed, lock on should be like 4th gen or 6's soft lock but with a visible, always centered lockbox that varies in size depending on your FCS like in old gens.>"but without hard lock how will you use all four weapons at once alongside jump and QB buttons and the sticks???"You can still do that by binding back weapons to clicking the analogue sticks, but it'd be better if they just removed the ability to constantly spam all four weapons at once and went back to swapping between arm and back weapons like in 4th gen, with an option to fire everything at once as a special ability, like a core expansion part that enables it shortly, and/or making it build up stagger on yourself from the combined recoil so that it has to be used sparingly Also, melee weapons should be allowed on both arms, this could already have been easily included in 6 by simply adding a cooldown after meleeing with one arm that only allows you to use the other arm's melee after the same amount of time it currently takes to swap another melee weapon in from the hanger.And weapon arms need to come back, along with shoulder extensions and good long range weapons. Basically for 6.5 to have much better gameplay it just needs to throw away most of the stupid changes from 6 and play more like a more grounded and weighty 4th gen.
>>23022269>play more like a more grounded and weighty 4th genThat is literally 1.6 reg ac4.just play that man
>features unique to 6>not AC>features unique to gen 4 or 5>yep that's AC
anyone here tried those acfa 1.99 modded regulations? how do they feel like
>>23022329Huh? If anything, the most "not AC" features in the franchise would be 5th gen's MP focus and damage system
>>23022269>And hard lock should be removedYou are not going to get rid of hard lock so you should just give up on this.
>>23022330Not that different from 1.40 because its designed not to upset the pvp balance.But it definitely added more options by buffing unused stuff.
>>230222696 already has the best gameplay in the series though? All these changes would be shit. Also fuck you, I've always wanted to fire all weapons at once and I ain't going back.
>>23022461>All these changes would be shit.All of those changes would make 6 play more like previous AC games, of course a Souls tourist such as yourself would hate them.
>>23022461>best gameplay in the series
>>23022547i tried watching one of those modern AC youtubers and when they said "now let's go into the combos" like their AC was a fighting game character i wanted to violently vomit
>>23022553When i think of combos in ac, i remember the sniper cannon and bazooka arms combo in fA.knock the AC out of the sky with the SC and hit em with the zooks while they are falling down. now it means something else...
>>23022533>Souls touristBeen playing since AC2 fag, cope.
How do I get good at photo mode I wanna take COOL screenshots
>>23022594You just have to develop an intuition for pausing via experience. Only then can you get the timing right and then go into photo mode.
>>23021879it would have been fine if they hadn't also put hard lock-on inboth together make a pretty bad experience
>>23021906Too bad the meta ended up being either kites that just run the fuck away and chip you to death with missiles/rifles, or super heavy tanks that'll just face tank everything you got and two shot you if you try to cqc them.Has the pvp scene ever been this bad for an AC game before?I swear, it's only playable in custom lobbies where hosts heavily regulate everyone's builds before every match so it's not the same like 3 or 4 types of cheap stagger punish one shot builds or missile boats glued to the skybox all dominating people with normal builds. I wish they'd restrict customization in pvp so you can't build these turbo cheeseball builds and absolutely devastate by working a 1/10th as hard as everyone else.
>>23022618>Has the pvp scene ever been this bad for an AC game before?FA was worse
>>23022639How did they went from ac4 patches to fa patches lmao
>>23022575AC6 plays more like Elden Ring than any of the other AC games. You probably want something akin to Frame Gride 2 more than you want an actual AC game if you think 6 is "best in the series">B-been playing since AC2 !!1! c-c-cope !!!Do you think someone would really do that? Go on the internet and tell lies?
>>23022547kill all shield niggers t. meleetard
>>23022547The fact that you can extend stagger is just crazy. Is getting staggered by itself not punishing enough?
>>23023079Ac6 is a character action game, it needs combos and resets to be stylish.
>>23022269Buddy5th gen kept the auto targetingIts not going away anytime soonIf ever
>>23022269It doesn't make sense for a giant robot that can reverse its movement on a dime to not be able to make instant turns.If turn speed is coming back, the ACs should be much, much harder to slow down or speed up, requiring you to quickboost in order to do get to speed.
>>23023146>the ACs should be much, much harder to slow down or speed upso you want gen 5 high speed boosters to be base line?
>>23023137>5th gen kept the auto targetingIt was kinda shit because it could fuck over your manual aim weapons.
>>23023009I didn't say it's the best game in the series, I said it has the best "gameplay" in the series. Learn how to read. I have my complaints but the actual combat isn't one of them, in my opinion they nailed that better than any other AC title.
AC6 will not be getting a souls or elden ring esque DLC expansion that just adds onto the base game. It’s more likely we'll get a proper 6.5 standalone game like the previous entries and honestly it’s for the best. AC6 has so many teething problems that Fromsoft would have a easier time making a new game with AC6 as the framework.
>>23023327No at this point I'm convinced they're just going to stop gen 6 here and make AC7. Miyazaki said he wants to direct a new AC game after all.
>>23023327I doubt it would be getting anything. The base game looks like its been cut midway into development with no further resources. The repeating 'arcs' is just the devs way of padding the game to make it look like there's more.Those free quad legs and weapons were the death flag. The suits just didn't see the value in producing more paid content so they just gave them up and cancelled the rest of it.
How is ACS even supposed to work anyway? The computer predicts and makes micro-adjustments to change the impact angle to reduce damages?
>>23023449The same way you brace for a hit when someone is about to punch you in the fucking face.
>>23023225...Who in their right mind plays AC of all games to not give a shit about the gameplay what. AC is almost entirely about the gameplay, the story is just some cool icing on the gameplay.
do you ever wish there was a better way to look at other players' ACs? sometimes i see really fashionable ACs in lobbies and get sad that i can't get a closer look at them
>>23023546There's more to AC games than the story and combat, and I never once said I "don't give a shit about the gameplay" or even that old gens had BAD gameplay. All I did say was I liked AC6s gameplay, the combat, the most.
>>23023556What else is there? And where do your other favorites sit?
>>23023563So to me there are five parts of an AC game:>CombatAs I previously stated, AC6 wins this for me.>StoryPersonally I believe Verdict Day had the best story.>SoundtrackThis one is hard. I really can't pick a favorite, it ends up a three way tie between Silent Line, Nexus, and For Answer. Funny enough I think AC6 has the absolute WORST soundtrack of any AC game, there's like 2 good and memorable tracks in the entire game. It feels like they had Kota on a leash because they couldn't risk scaring normies with his usual kino music.>AC buildingFor Answer wins this for me big time. Extensive part catalog and a lot more parts go into an AC than any other game. I had more fun building ACs in FA than any other gen.>Mission designSilent Line takes the cake here, it has the best designed missions of any AC game. It's incredibly fun from start to finish and there are few if any dud missions.While I praise the combat in 6, as I said before the music is the worst in the series and another area I feel it's lacking is AC design. ACs need fewer parts than ever and while the catalog is a decent size with some good options for the first game in a gen, the fact that AC6 is seemingly not getting DLC means gen 6 is likely going to end up with one of the worst part catalogs. Not as bad as gen 2 or anything in that regard, but it ain't in a great spot.
>>23023572I hope this is bait
>>23023572>vd with the best story>fa with the best building?????Did you intentionally misplace them
>>23023704Not that anon, but FA definitely had the best building. Tons of parts, almost everything had a niche, interesting shapes, and even the little weights for autistic optimization. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the tuning system, since without S ranking the entire game your AC is just objectively worse. I like having incentives to S rank stuff but they should be bragging rights. Maybe a special camo pattern or emblem or whatever.
>>23023708Fa has a huge quantity of parts, but 5th gen's building is extremely autistic and indepth.The fact that cores have a stat that makes you move differently (energy conductivity) is crazy, and a single tune in your weapons could change entire matchups.
>>23023711and the defense breakpoints you reach dictates your playstyle and what you are comfortable with.
>>23023704He probably only played the single player at best. More realistically he probably only watched a lets play.
>>23023847Or, you know, people have different and highly subjective tastes and opinions.
actually cool shieldshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGJNs_91_Hccome get your actually cool shields
>>23023860That is a good excuse to ensure they ferment resentment. You are not helping anyone.
>>23023079extending stagger with an attack like a melee or a bazooka shot is fine, you get one commital shot at it at it and then back to reset, even fist is fine because it's just one cycle and you lose a lot running itextending stagger with a shotty is stupid because it can keep firing with no penalty
>>23023861I'm not familiar with gen 5 parts, how come one arm is different from the other?
>>23023695Nope, it isn't.>>23023847I strongly recommend therapy. I've been playing this series since the PS2 days almost religiously. I'm entitled to my opinion even if it makes you mad.
>>23023906Fair, but for lightweights getting hit with melee or zook in stagger pretty much means it's over, you're not recovering from that. Extending stagger just ensures that it's likely to be a death sentence. From really wanted lightweights to suffer unless they rat in this one.
>>23023704No? FA had a good story but I found VD's better. As for building, I fucking hate building in gen 5. Armor breakpoints are the biggest disaster in the entire generation and they hamper that whole experience. Nearly every fucking weapon is shit because the best in the class is always the one with the highest firepower stat. Same issue applies to main AC parts. Bad defense? Bad part. Building in gen 5 is awful. There's a LOT of parts to pick from and a lot of them look good but that doesn't help much when more than half the part catalog doesn't play nice with this retarded mechanic so it ends up just being useless.
>>23023930keep saying it, maybe its gonna come true
>>23023937What's gonna come true, exactly? The fact that I've been playing this series since fucking 2001? That's not exactly an accomplishment dude.
>>23023935>Baddefense? Bad part.Lmao, stop embarrassing yourself.
>>23023944That ones bad for an entirely different reason: it's ugly as FUCK.
>>23023928That's just how it is in gen 5. Some arms are asymmetrical, still one arm part. This isn't like daemon x machina where you can mix and match arms (though I wish it was because that's one thing DxM got right that AC has always gotten wrong).
>>23023935>Nearly every fucking weapon is shit because the best in the class is always the one with the highest firepower stat.
>>23023949why are you so fat
>>23023951So i can oneshot you with a single kick.
>>23023949>Get off my Stork before you flip it over, you fat fuck
>>23020965I started with AC6 but now im replaying all the older games, currently just on the first AC game but hopefully I can finish most of the games this year
>>23023986You should be able to do that easily. I started the series with AC1 back in november, and I'm currently on 3, 100%ing all the games too.
>>23023992Im a slow gamer, hell it took me about a month and a half to beat AC6 NG++, though only about an extra week to 100% the whole game
>>23023994Makes sense, though some of the older games are most surely shorter, even though I haven't played AC6 yet to compare. All of gen 1 don't have that many missions, Project Phantasma especially. The only really lengthy one is Another Age due to the sheer amount of missions it has.
>>23023996In Ac1 im just past the blimp / aircraft mission and the tester MC double fight, unsure if thats far or notDebt kicked my ass early game so Im still just rocking the base AC with a different head
I hate how flashy AC6 is, we need to go back to ps2 graphics.
>>23023943like i said, keep saying it. maybe someone will believe you eventually
How many people here actually play PVP and how many just play the games?
>>23024086In acg? Probably single digit percentage. AC PvP may as well be a niche fighter and those need a discord. Connect the dots to posters having a meltdown when they realize they can't be anonymous and its easy to put things together.
>>23021767Anything flamethrowers can take down could be killed faster with blade+pilebunker+rockets, except maybe supercooling gigaheavies with weapons that could make them outtank and outDPS you in a slugfest
>>23023948As weird as it sounds, I feel like It'd kill a bit of buils variety. With the current system, you need to compromise with your arms. Say you have a MG on your right and a melee weapom on left. You can take arms with high melee stats but lose out on the ranged stats, you can do he oppoaite and take good shooting arms but poor melee, or you can compromiae and pick something more well-rounded. But with asymmetrical arms, you kill that. You always use the best posaible melee arm on the left and the beat possible shooting arm on the right. All th earms with a bit of both become obsolete
>>23021910Here you go, buddy.https://www.nexusmods.com/armoredcore6firesofrubicon/mods/183Although I think the modder slightly buffed the biped MT, they should only have 470 AP. Not like it'd change anything.
>>23024082Uh-huh, keep coping dude lol. Maybe one day you'll get the therapy you desperately need.
Arquebussin
>>23024161Kill yourself
>>23024161Foolish Snail, you can't stand up to the power of Vertex
>>23024176I'm convinced Snail is a gay character, sometimes, more overtly than Ring Freddie. Superiority complex to the nth degree, refering to inferiors as unclean and not trim and proper, 110% smug, sacrifices the finest ass in AC, as she was really loyal to Snail, to capture a dude, and put him in his "concentration camp" where he "mind controls" them. Rusty's furry emblem has a muzzle until he's left the Vespers.He's Mads Mikkelsen-Casino Royale-CBT level of gay, maybe Kevin Spacey gay.
>>23023704FA unironically has the most build diversity out of any of the games
>>23024210He's fake sophisticated. He's always seething because he wants Freud to fuck him but Freud couldn't be less interested in his augmented ass
>>23020965ac6 is my first ac game and I have no interest in playing the older titles
>>23024780then perish
>>23024793why? people like me revived your franchisethere wasn't an ac game for decades before 6
>>23024086I used to play ac6 pvp lots and lots when they game was new. I did a ton in custom lobbies and then a ton when ranked mode came out. Now I only do it very rarely because the game is solved and only sweaty, unfun builds remain.
>>23024805>for decades>pluralIt was literally 10 years dumb ass tourist.
>>23024092None of those things let me hold an AC down as I spray my thick blue and orange napalm all over it reaching into its very core while listening to its pilot leave this world in blazing glory.
I'm trying ranked despite the amount of gray hairs in my head already, and I'm glad that my four bubble build is doing well.
>>23025060Of course it is. Quad pulse weapons is a nuke in terms of DPS and you completely invalidate all forms of shields at the same time. The only real problem is making sure they don't overheat.
>>23025062I don't mind letting them overheat because I'm a super fast build. My main issue is energy management, this does not let you boost as much as I remember it did and I'm constantly finding myself in the red.
>>23025068If you're gonna end up in the red anyway, may as well take the coral generator pill.
>>23024828I just block anybody I see with one of five of the same most funless pussyest builds (kites, boats, laser swaps, double zimmerman/earshot spammers, double back mounted cannon spammers in general, 99% of anybody that uses terminal, has a rank above A, or even only has Japanese as their only known language on their profile). That way, they can't get into my lobbies, or any lobbies I get in before them. So eventually, and hopefully, I'll have separated enough wheat from the chaff that the game becomes playable as an off meta build more often than not. Maybe by then, the shitty section of the playerbase will get bored enough cheap shotting/cheesing eachother with the same like 4 bullshit strategies to either fuck off or evolve to using fun builds enough to help me refine the remaining population significantly further.Yeah, it'll slow down matchmaking, but I'd rather wait to get quality matches than to frequently get matches that average out to chasing missile rats all over the map and getting blindsided by charged lance + charged double LCR combo spammers for my entire AP bar.
>>23025135Allowing two cannons to fire at once was a mistake.
>>230251694th and 5th gen balanced dual cannon setups pretty well, 6 just doesn't have any downsides when it comes to weapon combos.
>>23025135does blocking people stop them from matching with you in ranked?
that's the second time i've found a heaven's ray cosplay build in the wildi feel bad that i don't have a cosplay build of my own, does anyone knowa good third gen AC with a rifle/machinegun + bazooka combo
>biped- fuckton of legs in 4 archetypes- light, medium, heavy, nacht (exceptional jumps)>rj- 3 legs in 3 archetypes- light, midweight, heavy>quad- 3 legs in 3 archetypes- midweight, heavyweight, lamm (exceptional flight)>tank- 3 legs in 3 archetypes- heavyweight, boat (exceptional flight), 40 lesbians (exceptional grounded)we need some "regular" options for tanks and an "exceptional" option for rjgimme a true lightweight tank that's not as fast on the ground as fortaleza by default but is the lightest leg part overall, and grasshopper rjs that trade jump height for jump distance
>>230252216 barely has weapon weight requirements besides overall load limit. Arm weapons have a further weight limit imposed by arm choice but it's also so generous that it doesn't really matter with most arms that aren't Basho (and changing arms is such a low commitment that you just do it when you want bigger guns), and back weapons don't have any weight limit at all, and not just that, no balancing requirement either. You can put a single LCA on a lightweight and have no adverse effects from the fact that there's 1/4 of your weight hanging off to the side. Like, with arms you can handwave having karasawa in one hand and sampu in another by the fact that they are both sprung weight on the arms, but back weapons are attached directly to the core, they will lopside the weight distribution.
>>23025405While true, it's not THAT unbelievable that the balancing system that allows mecha to walk in two legs and even kump around, do kicks, etc would be able to compensate for the imbalanced weight distribution.
>>23025428With arms, yes. Try running while carrying a single dumbell in a partially outstretched arm, it will lopside you a bit but you will be able to run with it just fine as your arm will dampen the extra weight moving around. If you now attach to your back hanging off to the side, say, by putting it in a side pocket of a backpack, you'll have a much harder time balancing.
whoops!
>>23024161snail wonned
Met this Kate girl on the job, pretty cute and flirty. I think she likes me. I'll ask her out next time.
>>23025405>You can put a single LCA on a lightweight and have no adverse effects from the fact that there's 1/4 of your weight hanging off to the side.You act like this is unique to AC6. Only gen 4 had mechanics for this sort of thing.
>>23025492ask her if she can make you a pie chart next time
>>23025532remind me, what was wrong with the pie chart?
>>23025548the sliver is iguazu
>>23025224No. Just custom.Meta/balance is so fucked that it's totally inferior to custom anyway. It's just a red flag that you're a meta slave if your rank is really high(from my experience, about 19 out of 20 A-S rankers run the same like 3 types of cancer builds or so), and a high rank'll also keep you from getting kicked by tryhard hosts that'll probably kick you if you dont equip terminal armor too I guess. Those ones probably run funless sweat lodge lobbies anyway.
>>23025348Why not play the games yourself and find out?
>>23025603again?
>>23025686If you already played the games, you'd know the characters. Unless, you just speedplayed it just for the sake of saying you did.Maybe instead of armored core cosplay builds, you should just make dark souls cosplay builds. It would be way more fitting for someone like you.
>>23024086i only get a kick out of a select few singleplayer missions:- attack the dam complex altiguazu and volta as separate consecutive fights is pretty manageable since despite having full repair kits they don't have expansions. it can be annoying to get them as separate fights though, since after having a weirdly hard time with the enemies in the valley area iguazu will just skip them and try to regroup with volta right after you take the job requestyou also get some pretty competent allies like the missile barrage turrets or the tetrapod MT, very fun to work with- obstruct the mandatory inspectionthere's some pretty fun action here between the three LC fights and the double boss battle, although it's a little too easy to s-rank- eliminate the enforcement squadsthere's some cover and elevation differences for this level's LC fight and it's very fun to jump around in. the HC here also feels harder to fight than the one in prevent corporate salvage of new tech since there's less telegraphing. all without checkpoints too- defend the old spaceportjust very quick and easy access to a three-repair kit AC fight, it's like AC fast food- defend the dam complexin every way worse than attack the dam complex alt since you have to fly over as quick as possible to the fight while listening to the whole power level spiel with branch's members. the speed is important since you have to depend on the MTs lasting long enough for you to kill either the sh*eld AC or tank AC with pulse armor on top of their massive ACS meter uninterrupted, otherwise you're in for the worst wombo combo ever linear rifle shot into bazooka into triple laser cannon into earshot jesus fucking christ. also the allies are the most basic bitch MTs possible. also raven shows up. the time limit for s-ranking it is insane for how much bullshit is thrown at you but at least it's a good excuse to experiment with cheese buildsmultiplayer has a separate unique appeal since fights aren't as predictable
>>23021143what the fuck is a pitot tube
>>23025756Is this a serious question or are you memeing?
>>23025756>he doesn't know what pitot tube is
>>23025756Raven, have you tried this advanced program called fucking google you retard?
>>23021732The textures are actually pretty detailed. Its just that it wasn't visible because crt TVs didn't have enough pixels. Pic related is a screenshot of an emulated split screen game at higher resolutions. Split screen is apparently a lower poly version of what you see in single player and in the garage, but there's a ton of panel lines and little vents.
>>23025830Pic related is a straight rip from the single player model. There's a ton of texture detail, even if there aren't enough polygons to prop them up.
>>23021143While it looks like a weird pilot tube it is the anti-missile laser.
>>23025848... Anon, that was a joke. It doesn't even look like a pitot tube.
>>23025839Context for this image? Looks like some Silent Hill game.
>>23025859I don't know Anon, I always thought it was a useless bit that didn't do anything since the constant misaligned laser fire made me come around to believing the lasers were coming from something else.
>>23025891There is no context, both images were pulled from armored core discord.

>>23026730yay
hey why'd you go easy on me...
huh? how did your match went guys?maybe i'd join some 3v3 like we did at release but currently i'm on oldgen and muscle memory would bother me
Stingerbros...
sorry I thought i had assault instead of pulse on jetstream >>23026769it's really fun!
>>23026651Is there a discord?There's no way we're ever gonna set up 3v3s in the general.
>>23026822nah discord is gaywe're just 2 people in a lobby doing 1v1s
you are censored btw
>>23026834But I like 3v3s...
>>23026839I know but I don't care. FROM censorship is stupid, there's nothing vulgar in my name.
>>23026822seconding the other guy about discord, it never end well for generals to have one and should be shunnedwe used to have 3v3 in here when game got released, might be harder now with people not being here or doing other shit, just give a day and and hour (with a timezone) beforehand and see how it goes
>>23026847I bet it's "ead" from dead, that's censored for some reasongood matches bro, they were fun!
>>23026853Nah it's censored because of "nig" just like they censor k***ht in ER. Cheers anon, good playing.

>>23026914>that charged Vvc-770LB hitIt might not be meta but it's definitely the most stylish melee in my book.
Are there any mecha-critics around? Was going for a WWII fighter-aesthetic, but maybe it's too shadow-the-hedgehoggy? Feel free to roast my decal-work, too.
>>23027002the thing separating a shadow the hedgehog from a good mecha is really the color choice. it would really serve you well to throw a gradient or camo on.camo specifically will be good for the WWII look, as well as some bigger stripes if you can fit them on. there was a past anon with really well-done invasion stripes for their build but i forgot to save their screenshots
>>23027002Doesn't look bad but it looks more like stealth bomber than WW2 fighter, like some F117 or B2. Like other anon pointed out, most WW2 fighters were painted in camo or green, gray or white, so maybe add some of these colors somewhere.
>>23027002>Was going for a WWII fighter-aesthetic>paints it black with red highlights and some gold sprinkled inLiterally nothing in WW2 was colored this way retard
>>23027063hey be niceif they go the right way >we might get a nice-looking AC out of this
>>23027019>>23027043>>23027063Looking back I phrased this wrong. Was more like I kinda had this idea of a plane due to the colored tips on the AC and thought of Nazi- stuff as being this middle grey like the uniforms.But >>23027076 might be right. I feel inspired to recreate some WW2 decals now.
>>23027063To be fair night fighters were painted in black, for obvious reasons. Not sure about red highlights tho.
>>23027095>for obvious reasons
>>23027088the luftwaffe had some really killer emblems if you wanna look into that too. the one on the lower right is supposed to be a caricature of neville chamberlain
