Are the Armored Core games good?
>>23406406Who's asking?
>>23406410I ain't saying nothing
>>23406406The PS1 games are pretty good, the best one is For Answer

Yup playing ac6 was worth 20 bucks. Too bad trying to customize on the ps4 is a little daunting.
>>23408254Mind elaborating? I literally started 6 yesterday
>>23408356NTAhe probably means doing custom art on the PS4the actual customization of the mechs is maybe the simplest it has been
>>23408624You ever see the shit people cooked up for 5th gen?Once you know your way around the decal editors (which themselves have gotten better with each passing generation of AC), you can bullshit just about anything. Really the only drawback the 6th gen editor has is From still expects you to manually place everything and only offers coordinate/parameter displays as a reference aid rather than fields you can enter values into, and that's just dumb oversight born of years of just going "well we always did it this way and it wasn't a problem before, so it's fine right?"
>>23407100>do everything in For Answer>get tiny dingaling as reward
Can you guys share a code list for extra emblems?
Armored Core is like Ace Combat with worse storytelling and significantly worse music. Or basically its just Gran Turismo with legs.
YesAC6 is the true 2023 GOTY
>>23409520Ace Combat is Macross disguised as a flight simcade, bit different to what Armored Core is going for
>ace combat>sim
>>23410529Simcade =/= sim, it's completely different evenBlame whoever came up with the dumb name for this if you don't like it
>>23410528they've got an astonishingly similar mission-based structure but mostly trades the cinematic chops for Gran Turismo dryness and customization autism
>armored core>not cinematic
correct
>>23406406depends. If you ask ac fans what games are good then you'll get wildly different opinions so just try whatever game or generation of AC games that you think looks most interesting and has best music xD. Though if we're talking pure accessibility then I might recommend Nexus/Last raven, 4/for Answer, and Verdict day if you have a ps3 or a good enough cpu that can handle emulating it.
I'm getting filtered by the controls of the first game. How do I git gud?
>>23417466Honestly just get used to it. shit adviced but there's not much you can do other than remapping the controls like picrel but that also kinda sucks but might be more intuitive since the face buttons emulate the analog sticks.
>>23417466get used to itthe control scheme is a part of the difficulty and it's not that bad if you remove your preconceptions
>>23417466Get used to it, or look up how to sorta emulate modern stick controls onto the old gen games like I did. It kinda makes them easy, but that's debatable
>>23417466dude mouse injector lmaooo
>>23417466The default controls are trash useful only for niche show off moments of dodging singular missiles coming from just a single enemy. Just remap them.
>>23421219Actually I shall correct myself - it's also good when literally facing a tight group of missile launchers firing off at best 2 poor tracking missiles at a time as long as the enemies aren't moving closer or try to encircle you (AC3 missile dodge mission)
>>23417466Some dude made a hack to use the analogjust search VanLaser's ac analog controls
>>23406406They're very good.
>>23423035I don't get why people clamour so much to have analog in Armored Core, and can only assume they're just that accustomed (stunted) to 7th gen and later.
>>23423035Thank you very much.
Armored core are one of those games where if your save file got erased, replaying wouldn't even be an issue. It's just that good.
>>23426888i found mapping the face buttons to the camera way easier to use since it makes doing minute adjustments while in combat not as difficult
>>23406406Yes
>>23409829Agreed
>>23430479yup. even getting the secret stuffs all over again isn't much annoying
the ps2 ones
am i coping thinking something big will be announced aug 24?
>>23406406Not really, I rented one or two of these and they just felt like a worse Mechwarrior.
>>23406406It's weird you have to ask this on /m/ of all places.I miss old 4chan so much.
>>23417466you have to understand the controls seem to have that layout as a way for the game designers to communicate a fundamental part of the game's designmoving the FCS up and down is in such an awkward position because you shouldn't use it that often, at least when starting out; you should only need to make small vertical adjustments to the camera most of the times, unless your trying more advanced playstyles but by that time you should already be comfortable with the controls at the beginning just learn to move your camera slightly up so your FCS is not pointing mostly at the floor and go from there, of course for turrets and flying MTs you can stay stationary and move your camera since those do shit for damage, but for AC battles you should worry more about your positioning and horizontal camera work, so the enemy is always on your sightsas an extra tip for once you start with the arena in Phantasma remember if an enemy is behind you, the fastest way to get them on your sights again is to jump backwards
>>23408254 >trying to customize on the ps4 is a little dauntingit definitely is, but it gets easier with time. especially after making some basic marking decals, you can reuse them on multiple ACs if you want a very quick and easy spruce-up
>>23439183it's been 2 years, i think they straight-up forgot about the game already. unless they spent too much time trying to animate ugly shit like the FIRMEZA's leg piston fuckery again
Mecha Break
>>23451618Never seen a cool character like this get bodied by the story this hard.
>>23406406I like Armored Core :)My favorites are 1st Gen, 5th Gen, and 6.4th Gen is probably the most popular.I'm also the only Formula Front fan in existence but it's not really an AC game so I can't really recommend that.
What are the basics, what are the games about/like? What is armored core in general?I've only heard bits and pieces of what it is, but from what I have heard it seems interesting I just don't know where abouts to begin
>>23451968his build is kinda terrible. probably a good move since they probably don't want people getting roadblocked in a part of the story that's supposed to be moving but still >>23452643it is a piloting/customization game with a mission-based structure
>>23439183Might be another few years but I would expect 6.5 to be in the works.
>>23406429kek
>>23406406Nom.
>>23452665>his build is terribleWhich one? Steel Haze is probably the best build for the campaign. But Ortus is a whole different story.
>>23464623 ortus, ye i think it's mainly the p04 completely sandbagging it
>>23464696I don't like the weapons on it either. There's not enough ammo for dealing with fodder. The Huxleys take too long the reload. Finally the Treuno forces you to stop to shoot which is a death sentence in a lightweight AC.
>>23464805 >There's not enough ammo for dealing with fodder it's a 1v1 machine for sure. though NPCs also ignore ammo limitations so that part doesn't really matter too much level design-wise >the Treuno forces you to stop to shoot which is a death sentence in a lightweight AC there's also that long-ass lockon speed... that being said, i've had a lot of fun playing lightweights with an offhand bazooka so i don't wanna say that it's necessarily a death sentence. the usecases for TRUENO are: 1. harassment from long range with missile lock (since you have space to run away) 2. stun punish from any range. firing it unlocked actually makes it hit dead-on if you're firing at a stunned AC, so you can skip getting missile lock. and of course there's always the option of pairing it with FORTALEZA legs so you don't have to stop to shoot at all
>>23407173That game is so ass
>>23409520They really aren't that similar and Armored Core has better music.
>>23407100*Nexus
>>23469056ps1 and ps2 armored cores just have electronic dance music that could have come from literally any game. ps3 games have unfitting dad rock of all things. And anyone that says they noticed Armored Core 6 even has music is lying.
>>23469386nah, but that just reinforced that you don't actually play ac6
>>23469257 nexus is a meme
>>23471163armored core 6 will never recover from having its soundtrack panned by MarcoMeatball And personally 3 full playthroughs, almost all the S ranks later and not once have i ever gotten the urge to listen to any of the music outside the game.
>>23472371>MarcoMeatballliterally who?
>>23469386>dad rockt. Musically illiterate
>>23475666accept that you are old and that nonsensical lyrics works for metal wolf chaos but is out of place in armored core
Bump
>>23406406Just play them retard.
>>23497248This.
>>23469056nah, ace combat has better music
>>23451618I still think this dude is a massive overrated jobber and I just don't understand why people fellate him so much.
>>23519888Probably the first impression if yu did the route where you kill ayre. He left an awesome impression in the story. Sadly his character gets tossed aside fast in other routes.
>>23520320Could be because of routes, but in general he feels completely irrelevant to the story. So I just don't understand why its him specifically that gets so much attention. I found other "less important" characters more memorable.
>>23521034I mean at least he wasnt white glint in ac4a. Had a opening for himself, iconic theme, literally a legacy character and was hyped up in the story. Onky gets one mission and is never seen again.
>>23519888He has a sexy voice and is nice to you.
>>23521189whoa there pal. he had 2(TWO) variations of that one mission. absolute legend
