Are you satisfied with what speed brings?
@buildanonWhats the top right?
Expect some Gen 2 assets on the Models Resource soon
>>23766300Based/10
>>23766318Some stuff has already been uploaded. Actual AC parts will come later
>>23766241who let zanscare design ACs
>>23766378I wonder how that monowheel lancer would handle.
>>23766300Good going.
>>23766300found a way to unfuck the export or are you still doing it by hand?
>>23766378remember the ball wheel retard arguments?good tiems
>>23766571VROOOM
>>23766603that look fucking retarded lmao
>>23766651it is but anon wouldn't hear any of it
>>23766603https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmu0VrFk9ug
>>23766570Still, by hand.Actually those in >>23766300 were even worse since NPCs in AA extract with heavy junk geometry that needed to be extracted by hand, which took too long to clean up. Those are probably the only NPCs from AA I'll extract fro that reason.>fyi Assets ripped from Gen 3 games all have that junk geometry, so I'm not even gonna attempt to get parts from those games, WAY too much effort.
>>23766378There's two tank legs in ac6 that are basically zanscare wheels but except for their turn rate
>>23766292It's meant to be Griffon from Patlabor.I accidently saved over one of my builds and had to spend a day remaking it, fml. I'm going to start compiling the new codes.
>>23766878Oh ok, also can the zeta byarlant be dual laspistols?
Why couldn't you've just thrown the fight Raven?
>>23766936save menu numbers autismgen2 have great characters
>>23766931It already is.
>>23766989Based, please share code?
>>23766954but why did he think launching nukes at Martian cities was going to fix the situation?
>>23767009Those traitorous city dwellers mixed soil with filthy E*rthers, they had it coming.
>>23766603I'm remind of those ancient mice where they had the ball and you had to remove the ball from the mouse to clean it.I wonder if it's the same for that.
>>23767671>ancient mice where they had the ball and you had to remove the ball from the mouse to clean itYou think that was a pain? I had to hardboil an egg every morning to keep mine running.
Sir, another missile has hit Anatolia.
>>23767007Will continue compiling codes tomorrow. Remembered the share limit is 100 and will have to decide what gets included, meaning many builds and variants will have to be excluded. Right now Zeta Byarlant has dual las pistol + las orbits, Byarlant custom will have dual wurg + laz orbit. Any recommendations?
>>23766378Rayleonard.
I hate tank builds so fucking much.>Yeah I'm gonna sit here with my charged LCAs and zooks, and every time you try to hit me we're gonna roll the dice on whether the netcode evaporates 75% of your health>I hope you like ratting and winning by timeout because it's the only realistic way to beat me with this stupid fuckass p2p online system>Just play perfectly bro while I let my Pakistani wifi do all the work for me.

>>23767679rookie mistake, i covered my boiled yolk in varnish so it didn't rub out, that way i could use it for months
>>23768260>rookie mistakeMaybe but that way I got used to eating eggs for breakfast.
>>23767883Cant think of anything atm and its a shame you didnt sooner, I downloaded the armory mod, wish there weren’t a hundred variants of the same part
Is there any point of S ranking every mission in 4? or should I just go straight to FA after it's done?
>>23768534Attaining mastery of the game and to have more tuning points if you ever decide to replay it. You don't keep money, parts or FSR if you import your save to FA.
>>23768534You get a unique emblem for having S-ranked all missions on Normal and Hard, as well as making your average rank say "SS". Doesn't really do much, but... feels good.
just "finished" another age, massive mt was the hardest fight by far but desu i went for a karasawa + moonlight combo so that makes short work of most opponetns.reviews said it has 100+ missions but i hit the credits on 89 sorties.i saw the ng+ mission on the unexplored region but there cant be that many, right?maybe if you count the coop missions but im not so sure.still, i loved it, gen 2 gameplay is always fun. dont need much more than "shoot everyone until they die" missions in mostly varied environments.im starting to understand how letting acs fire more than one gun at once has been a major balance shift for armored core as a series.and how gen 3 maps cant be designed assuming everyone has overboost.anyways, what do you think about anothe rage, fellow ravens?i do admit i wished fromsoft would release an expansion to ac6 which was just a #merc_lyfe simulator with 100+ missions.
>>23768657>i do admit i wished fromsoft would release an expansion to ac6 which was just a #merc_lyfe simulator with 100+ missions.I too would like a MercWarrior but with Armored Core gameplay and aesthetic. I've tried playing through MW5M again after the Clan DLC dropped and I just couldn't get into it. I just couldn't go back to plowing through what's basically a walking sim but with a giant turret on legs. The music was still good though.
Just finished AC6. Is it just me or is the difficulty of the same sorta weird? Like it can be real hard to go in with a generic build but putting together a build for a specific enemy/level almost feels cheesy.
>>23768657hurts my hand defeating the last post-end game mission
>>23768758Isn't that how it always was?
>>23766378reminder we almost got wheeled acs
rate my boy
>>23768777lucjy tripsas for the ac, interesting rifle and mechinegun combo but considering nexus ttk i dont think your hanger units get much use, especially wiht all the missiles youre carrying
>>23768780They're mainly just there for flavor/emergencies
>>23768785>>23768780Oh, also I surprisingly barely have to even use my missiles. My gun combo has proven really deadly so far.
>>23768788yea if you go with two of that machinegun you will rarely need any additional firepowernexus balance is fuckt up, last raven shifts it towards a different direction but its not much "fairer" accross weapons classeswhats impressive is how accross all gen3 and gen3.5 games the burst rifles have universally sucked, they never bothered to make them useable
Are we ever going to get weapon arms back?
>>23769085Sure, right after optional parts, inside parts, extensions, radiators, back mounted radars, directional boosters and stabilizers. They'll be bundled with shoulder weapons, two slot back weapons and overed weapons in a weapon pack dlc.
>>23769096And after all that, we'll get back mounted boosters too. Trust the plan.
>>23769085Maybe in 2036
>>23769085Shame we never got those hover biped legs. So smooth and sexy.
>>23769096 >stabilizers before weapon arms
>>23769292I rarely, if ever used weapon arms so I don't care about them nearly as much as about the mostly cosmetic parts that I always used. So, yeah.
>>23769096Radiators can stay in whatever pit they've been left to rot in. And back mounted radars would need a complete overhaul to come back.
I think weapon arms SUCKS
>>23769371They're a cool enough concept to warrant coming back, but yeah, they always kind of sucked.
>>23769379Yeah, I don't recall having a build of mine in any game that involved them.
>What's your buildtype?>Me: KARASAWA
>>23769496I dress like this whenever I go outside.
It's over
Weapon arms were decent.Grenade launcher weapons have always been usable for big damage.gen 1-2-3 machine gun arms had low ammo but great DPS energy weapon arms were good with EN weapon boosting optional parts.missile launcher weapon arms were pretty good.In gen 3 the spread bazooka weapon arms had INSANE burst DPS (you can kill the ultimate pulverizer in SECONDS). CETUS arms are just fucking great.In gen 4 kojima cannon weapon arms one-shot enemy ACs, bazooka weapon arms hit like a fucking truck after removing PA with something else (kamal in your left back weapon slot is pretty good), and machine gun arms are honestly just all around great.In VD you could use weapon arms as a way to swap to another weapon type if you had equipped cannons (I used CE cannon arms on my KE autocannons tank)They also look cool on RJ legs
>>23769379weapon arms would be a lot more interesting to me if we could build mobile armors, right now with the torso and legs it looks goofy. They're still cool on tank legs ACs
>>23769096>radiatorsDoes anyone unironically want the heat mechanic to come back? The only reason I ever liked it was so I could cheese the fuck out of Arena battles.>>23769379I think fifth gen had the right idea for making weapon arms better.
>>23769673>Does anyone unironically want the heat mechanic to come back?yes, meI like feeling under pressure when overheating and it feels appropriate when hit with a powerful explosive weapon or fire, or when overboosting.I like heat weapons (napalm missiles, napalm rockets, napalm howitzer, flamethrower, any weapon that is good at generating heat)I like missions with environmental hazard (heat/fire/lava in particular)and I think it's a cooler concept than the retarded stagger of AC6 and you can build your AC to mitigate it.Heat > primal armor > third defense type (gen 5) > stagger bar
>yearly playthrough of 4 and FA>messing around with a bunch of different builds>land on one that I think is pretty good, performs really well on the harder AC focused missions>get to occupation of arteria carpals >get curbstompednevermind my AC sucks
>>23769673i liked it
>>23769692It would make flametrhowers and the like have a more interesting niche than they do in 6. Also no arguments on the stagger system though, I think it's the weakest part of 6's gameplay design. A more gradual state instead of a binary staggered/unstaggered state would be way more interesting.>>23769695I personally don't, I view it the same way I do the old radar and biosensor mechanics, just an annoying thing to keep in mind rather than something I thought made builds more interesting.
>>23769714>I view it the same way I do the old radar and biosensor mechanics, just an annoying thing to keep in mind rather than somethingholy shit you have shit taste
>>23769723I'd rather have two shoulder weapons over saving one for a radar. It always makes me go for heads with both a radar and a biosensor which to me limits my build variety. If they were brought back, I would prefer they be internal parts like the FCS, with better radars requiring more power draw of course
>>23769693triple kojima cannon or dual moonlight backbooster crackheadtake your pick, LYNX
>>23769692>thread turn to shit after this posthere we go again, the retard is back.
https://imgur.com/a/li2kNzBI can rest now.
>>23769595>They also look cool on RJ legs
>>23769496>Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior?
>>23769991If only Battlemechs moved like Armored Cores.
>>23769692Haven't I seen you somewhere before? In Flavortown, perhaps?
>>23769962Go ahead, you've earned it.
>if you climb high enough in the cradle 21 mission you start getting shot at and sumika has voice lines for itWTF? how many other easter eggs like this are there?
>>23769962Not seeing any IBO frames there, are you going to make any?
>>23770735which Sumika were you refering to?
>>23771098>which SumikaHow many Sumikas are there with you when you go pay a friendly visit to the peace loving freedom fighters hanging out at the Cradle 21? Obviously the one that's just a brain in a jar.
>>23771100I either not familiar enough with Cradle 21 or I probably forgotten about it.There's Project Phantasma Sumika and there's AC4's Leonemeccanica Sumika. And I'm still in the middle of AC4 (Chapter 5) if it was from there.Is this going to be spoiler or not?
>>23771098>>23771104The latter. It's a mission from ACFA. You'll get it once you beat 4 and move on to FA. It isn't really a spoiler.
>>23771106Aight thanks. I read briefly she's indeed appeared storywise in ACFA. Gonna look forward to it.
>>23770735Allmind has special voice lines if you don't do the area or any of the training missions until immediately before the final mission.
>>23771249People also rarely realize that allmind dialogue welcoming raven were different in each NG iteration.
>>23771104... there really are a lot of sumikas in armored core aren't there?
>>23771374Yeah
>>23771374She's the Cid of AC
Just done with AC4.Is it really just that? no phase two and the story weren't really all that.
>>23772403The ending is awfully abrupt, but AC4 walked so ACFA could run. It hasn't even started yet.
>>23769962>cirno>not vertical missiles so they all miss
>>23769723Biosensor was a pretty useless mechanic because the bugs were easy to hit with dumbfire weapons.
>>23772416can't wait for it. Just gonna search for the undub patch and I'll good to go.
>>23772403AC4 was rushed out the door and is painfully unfinished. A lot of its story had to be partially relegated to novellas and similar stuff, a LOT of voice lines were just cut, et cetera. I love 4, but I'm not going to sit here and call it a finished game, much less 'good', frankly. And I've SS ranked the entire game.
>>23772518That being said, some of the story threads are relegated to the Hard Mode versions of missions. The whole Hejde Arsenal affair, the Companies funding the MLF, who forced Joshua to attack Anatolia, etc.
>>23772518Well said, SS-Sturmbannführer No.23772518.
>>23770865Haven't watched it so didn't plan on it. I've seen a few on AC companion already so there's that.
>>23772518>And I've SS ranked the entire game.Some of 4's missions are crazy annoying so I can only assume you are INSANE
>>23772616Oh you have no fucking idea. But I really liked the game despite how unfinished it is, and I only enjoyed it more after digging into all the supplemental materials. I'm a madman, and I like this maddening game.
Speaking of 4, my thumb fucking hurts playing it. Is it just me and I have no idea about building my AC or is that just how it goes with gen 4?Or should I just get better controller?I'm using the ol' reliable pic related. The trigger kinda stiff so that's probably why my thumb gotten hurt.Any recommendation?
>>23772853I'm this anon >>23772403 btw
>>23772853>my thumb fucking hurts playing itWhat in the game exactly makes your thumb (singular) hurt? It's not like AC4 has such an innovative control scheme with never before seen way of using the sticks. Unless you keep mashing the face buttons for whatever reason or something. And the controller seems fine to me, I never used anything special.
>>23772894my left thumb actually. It seems I always have to strangle the camera controls otherwise it won't look the way I want it to. Also the regular boosting (LB) since it always feels heavy to use the boost despite using light build AC.
After playing AC6 then going back to old gen all the lightweight legs look aesthetically displeasing
>>23772919schneider does that to you
>>23772915>It seems I always have to strangle the camera controls otherwise it won't look the way I want it to.That's just part of the charm of gen 4. Half the time you fight the camera more than you do anything else. Just wait until you'll get to the stuff like Spirit of the Motherwill, where you have to quickly prioritize certain targets but the lock on just won't not only snap onto them, it'll stubbornly choose literary anything else but what you want to shoot at. Two pieces of advice, one, be mindful of what your fcs range is because the auto locking is heavily dependent on it and two, learn to use dumbfire weapons.>Also the regular boosting (LB) since it always feels heavy to use the boost despite using light build AC.Only the reverse joints have a decent kickstart to climb and only from the ground. The rest of the frames feel really heavy if you try to move vertically. Check the main booster vertical thrust, that's the only thing that propels you up.
>>23772988Thank you for the tips.
>>23772919>im-fucking-plyingI'm channeling Giugiaro's spirit to smite you
>>23773308please don’t smite me
>>23773312Too late, I already invoked the power of our brethrens from /o/Fuck Mirage and fuck Ziomatrix too since we're at it
I think Allmind is cute and funny
>>23773852I still don't get the logic behind merging with Iguazu and trying to kill 621. She should have just not done that and the plan would have gone exactly the same.
>>23773859I think she wanted to merge with 621 and ayre, and they had to die for that to happen.
>>23772919Ac6 legs does look ugly
>>23773873Um, no AC6 has the best looking parts, followed by AC4
>>23773859There's cut dialogue that has Allmind explain that angry human brainwaves can be a substitute for Coral as a power source. In that regard, Iguazu is ahead of all the AC pilots on Rubicon combined.
>>23773883so her telling Iguazu that he was a mistake was actually an attempt to spur him on?kojimbo i kneel
Holy shit ACFA played so different than 4 what in the fuck? The movement, boosting and camera so smooth unlike 4 where you literally have to strangle analogue stick to just look at the direction that you want.What in the fuck?
>Ayre wipes the floor with me for around ~2 hours in her route>Allguazu goes down on first tryA truly poetic case of skill issue that could've only been made better if I had brought Iguazu's own AC to this fight.Anyway, I just wanted to say that this game is amazing and it's been a delight to finally have this series debut on PC. I really wish From would make more games like this instead of going straight back to rollslop.
>>23773946It's called improvement.
>>23769962Based
>>23775110Cool Gundam bro.
>>23766329So that's what the entire STAI battleship looks like.
>>23775220What does STAI stand for anyway? I assume it's an acronym but I could never figure out what it meant.
>went through the entire AC6 thrice before realizing laser drones can be chargedwell ain't that embarrassing
>>23775291It was never disclosed. Best i could come up with is Strategic Terrestrial Assault Instillation
>>23775132Bro that's a Heavy Zaku
>>23775477It's clearly a Gouf
>>23772518I dont remember 4 being that hard to SS rank. Some really annoying missions, but not particularly difficult. What did you have most trouble with? Also fav mission?
Good news everyone!I have extracted ALL Gen 2 parts plus more assets. The parts will need some additional clean up plus I'm including character colors and emblems from the Arena. Hopefully I can get everything uploaded by next weekend.

>>23775848Also, I found that I can get "clean" rips from Nexus (All other Gen 3 games have mangled geometry) My Gen 2 project is taxing enough though, so it will probably months before I ever tackle a Gen 3 project.
>>23775939>what the fug are you doing iguana?
>>23775963>mangled geometryWhat exactly does that mean?
>>23775963Did you perhaps ever take a look at Murakumo?
Man, the WLT 101 oscillator is actually a lot of fun to use for what I thought was a gimmick weapon.Is there a way to do that charged attack animation speedup trick I've seen with MKB?
>>23776075Something similar to >>23766742
>>23776259It's easier to do it with MKB
>>23776259pc cheaters just use a macro for demon blade tech now.
>>23776559Why would anyone need a macro for something so easy to do? are you actually retarded?
>>23773880The only way you could possibly have worse taste in parts is if you switched these.
>>23776634You might just be blind and retarded, anon.
>>23776571not that dude, but don't you need to go to free aim (which need a couple of second of holding the lock-on button with controller) to do that maneuver?That shit's almost impossible, how is it easy?
>>23776778Why the fuck are you using a controller if you are playing on PC?
>>23776779Habit from playing every armored core games before 6.Answer the question faggot
>>23776783No you can do it with softlock and mouse too
Demon blade really isn’t hard at all, no idea why people seem to think it is, literally no one is using a macro.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfVCizizeN4

>>23777200Do you really expect briefing guys from an old japanese games that was dubbed for literal pennies by a bunch of nobodies to have cartoony HONHONHON accents?Were you also disappointed that the Leonemeccanica reps in AC4 weren't gesticulating wildly all the time and arguing about pizza or that one time Joshua O'Brien dared to ask for a cappuccino past 11:00 AM?
>>23777208>an old japanese games that was dubbed for literal pennies by a bunch of nobodiesthat's irrelevant, are you retarded?this doesn't prevent the dub from having a coherent direction and precise inspirations, the emeraude guy sound like a mix of all latin languages if anything
>>23777216>the emeraude guy sound like a mix of all latin languages if anythingI always thought he was supposed to be indian or something.
>>23777216>that's irrelevantThat's very much relevant, no idea why you're pretending it isn't when the Agetech era of AC was notorious for its incredibly shitty dubs.>this doesn't prevent the dub from having a coherent direction and precise inspirationsSo you DO want cartoony HONHONHON accents after all.Also, has it ever occurred to you that not all people have issues with their native languages' accents?
>>23777223no one said they want some cartoonish stereotypes you mouth breathing retard

>>23777239Yes, to which I answered that we already had things like Emeraude and Mirage, then you went off a wild tangent about how some brief guy in a shitty US dub didn't sound French to you as if that means anything at all.Is Elcano in AC6 not a spanish corpo because we don't have a brief guy called Pedro Josè Maria Gutierrez talking with a thick spanish accents? Get real
the emeraude guy literally sound spanish or mexican thoand beside that, these corpro don't have much background writing to build an identity around, AC in general have superficial writing
>>23777243You literally extrapolated and made up half of the argument you aggressively go against, get yourself checked schizo.
>>23777249Not that anon, but the way I see it, you said this >>23777200 then you started to be mad at this >>23777216 right down to the latest post.I think something about this post >>23777208ticked you off. I personally found it funny. Is it the pizza part?I played undub starting from AC2 then to the rest of the franchise so your comment about>i mean if the briefing guy sound french to you there's a problemdoes comes out weird.

You guys are being weird again

>>23778231I S ranked her with Harris/Ransetsu pretty easily
>>23778231I enjoy doing Ayre, I did her again while you were complaining, I could do her all night long.
>>23778450For me it's snailteus
>>23776856Finally decided to get all achievements. It wasn't as bad as I expected.
>>23778254>pulse armor (fuck your lasers)>headache-inducing teleportation>right-arm swing catching you if you dodge just a little too far to the left>annoying missiles she keeps spamming every 2 seconds>No idea how you're supposed to do it as a heavyweight, you go down to chip damage or she just catches you in melee easily. Tried ranged tetrapod once, quit mission 30 seconds in once it became obvious she'll just grind me down>Entirety of the epilepsy test that is P2>S-ranking keeping repair costs down to ~1 repair kit's worth, something that's not the case for every other boss in the gamenah hoss, I wasn't really having a fun time. Ibis was also bullshit that I could never reliably do on first try, but it feels like fair bullshit
>>23778552You gotta punish when she's lunging at you bro. Keep spamming your assault boost and don't be afraid to use your assault armor. Ayre is fun if you have mastered gen 6 control.
>>23778571Well, to be fair, I never got into the habit of using AB offensively because it keeps missing with softlock and it took me until Ayre to remember that hardlock is a thing because it's very inconvenient to use with MKB. But by then the habit was far too ingrained to beat, I think I only ever remember to use it when I equip laser lance (which does fuck all to pulse armor)
>>23778457The xylem is doomed... good
>>23778591Im >>23778450 i have never once used hardlock in my life.
>>23778450>>23778592Post your build(s).>>23778529>The Perfect MercenaryAre you Kate Markson?
>Armored core 4, 4A, V, and Verdict Day are all in thereThe last few remaining Xbros who are still in this general have a duty to vote because apparently Xbox is reviving their games preservation program for the 25th anniversary.https://www.xboxgamepreservation.com/
>>23778918Oh that's nice. I hope they were all chosen.
maybe the real Armored Core was the friends we killed along the way
>>23778918Xbox is dead, bro. The pajeeta ceo is a canary in the coal mine.
>>23778988it could be transferred to gamepass so we could play it on pc without using emulator, that's the point.
>>23778918>50 Cent: Bulletproof 128 votes>Afro Samurai 85 votes>AC4A 55 votesXBox moment.
>>23779026Who's going to port it though? And aren't there licensing issues or some other legal bullshit too?
>>23779032I dunno, anyways I don't think it will happen regardless, looking at >>23779029
Finally, add me to the cheevo club. S-ranking Walter and Allguazu felt like a walk in the park after yesterday's domestic violence session with Ayre and I didn't even use the zimm build most of the time. Sequel when?
>>23779029I'm actually really happy to see the War for Cybertron games high up in the list.
>>23779026I hate xbox because microsoft
>>23779335low IQ post
>>23779126>66 hoursyou gotta delete your save data and replayed the game with canon 621 build with no OS tuning. or play the previous gen
>one new message
>>23779359Nah, I don't like these challenge runs that run on the presumption that my 621 is a retard incapable of any development or improvement.I might do one using presets only though. There's something inherently funny in the thought of showing up to the Allguazu fight in the Head Bringer, just imagine the seething.
>>23779540>Nah, I don't like these challenge runs that run on the presumption that my 621 is a retard incapable of any development or improvement.it's canon that 621 beating everything with default orbiter is what makes him scary. If you're upgrading like the normal pilot, what makes you any different from any gundam protagonist?
>>23779543>If you're upgrading like the normal pilot, what makes you any different from any gundam protagonist?Unlike Gundam protagonists I upgrade my giant robot specifically to kill things more deader instead of using it to engage in bouts of misplaced pacifism and teenage hormonal swings.

literally impossible to S this particular mission. I've tried everything.
>>23779543Even the worm?
>>23780167Especially the worm.
>>23780019just use a blade
>>23780423easy for you to say, I literally 100 miles from the exploding missiles and still gotten 80% damage from it.it's a literal nuke.

>>23766329Isn't that a Klingon space station?
>>23773946ACFA plays fantastically but the missions are all pretty meh compared to AC4's which are much more interesting. Maybe im biased because I played so much ACFA.
>>23780019>almost no damage>almost no ammo cost>less than 100 seconds>still Aliterally impossible
>>23782398That's the most bullshit S rank I have ever played throughout the franchise holy fucking shit.

>>23782530And how was the field trip?
>>23782563R U I N E D
>>23781496That's a whole ass mission in Armored Core 2
>>23781496GLORY TO YOU AND YOUR CORE
>>23776845
Who would win: an insecure Russian with a massive boner for genocide, or a Turk refugee and his German gf?
>>23779543>>23779540the technology wasn't there. How is from suppose to get your homemade custom ac in the prerendered cutscene?
>>23783043Don't make it prerendered. They can do that easily with elden ring.
>>23783043Some part of me wants an AC game with the weight and grounded feel of the prerendered trailers and openings. I remember when I was younger, being awed by the trailers and then being disappointed by the arcady gameplay. They aren't the same experience.
>>23783472stfu retard
>>23782854I don’t recognize the one on the right
>>23783472Is AC6 the worst offender for that? I expected a much heavier shooter than the floaty beat-em-up we got. I also expected bigger battles instead of the heavy focus on 1v1 duel encounters (that end too quickly if you're using any good stagger combo).
>>23783559>>23783472honestly it's just a matter of sound and visual feedback in the animationsnot that it's easy to do, but it's not a technical difficulty
>>23783559You know what I rescind the question and I'm making it a statement AC6 bamboozled me. I wanted massive carnage dammit.
>>23783561missions similar to the wall but with actual forces fighting on each sides would be grand, but i wonder how much units the engine can handle without shitting up
>>23783561What were these guys supposed to be? And I still think the trailers of VI sold a much different tone than the game proper.
>>23783571The Arquebus set and the trailers were made by a different studio that improvised allegedly hence nightfall looked cool in the trailer while being a jobber in game
>>23783563When they said they wanted to do longer missions, I was honestly expecting ace combat. 1 comparison is defending the missile launch where you're only up against max 5 guys at a time and a PCA ship who all fold in a second. Comona from ace 4 felt more exciting in comparison.
plasma missiles are pretty dope
>>23783571I always interpreted it as, and we have pseudo confirmation of this as the trailers depict what OG Raven was up to before the events of the game in the trailer, as depicting the major companies moving onto Rubicon initially. What's interesting in the game is that both companies buy third party locally produced MTs, which leads me to think they have very finite resources on Rubicon. Perhaps the initial wave before the PCC really clamped down on importing stuff in had Arquebus dropping in an entire team of standard ACs but they were all eventually trashed in the conflicts on the planet. Hell the first mission had several downed ACs already. While Balam and Arquebus have their A teams on the planet, they don't have much else and have to rely on local manufacturers to actually support real militaristic pushes on the planet. This could also explain why there is a very finite amount of parts in the game. Are there probably more hover legs out there? Probably, but you can't get them on Rubicon, so they only exist as a heavy tank leg style set. Does Balam have a super lightweight AC frame to keep up with Sneider frames? Probably, but you can't get it on Rubicon during the duration of the gameplay.
>>23783571When I saw the first trailer I thought they were going full STALKER with it.
>>23784293Mecha STALKER would certainly be something.
>>23784293>>23784339synduality echo of ada already exist
>>23784346Isn't it garbage though? The initial trailers made it look great but somewhere along the way it became a steaming pile of crap just reeking of executive meddling. Real shame, since I like the aesthetic.
>>23784365which part of it is garbage? It's still lived, with a lot of new contents too
>>23784371>which part of it is garbage?Let's see>online only>microtransactions>Easy Anti-Cheat - Requires manual removal after game uninstallAnd quoting some guy in the Steam reviews section>game was meant to be a story based game, with lots of lore and gameplay,It was going to be good...>but because of the hype at the time it became a PvPvE extraction shooter...but it came out as usual. Yeah, nah.
>You think you can defeat me?
how much new content does 6's ng+ modes add? is it worth it? i liked the game but not enough to replay it twice
>>23784961It's like Nier in that you've only finished 1/3rd of the game's story if you stop after the first time you reach the first ending.Each playthrough unlocks a new path through the story that leads to different ending.
>>23784961You won't understand anything on NG, you may think you do, but you don't. NG+ unlock more mission and new arena. NG++ is the complete game.The point is, NG is only 1/3 of the full story playthrough of AC6.
>>23784944CR-LH89F is one of the most memorable legs for 3rd gen and I wish there was a copy variant for it in AC6, along with RAIKO.
>>23784944That makes me wonder, what if quads weren't a separate category of their own but an option of slapping two copies of the same biped legs together?
>>23785340 (Me)Of course I forgot to add the pic.
>>23784979I still didn't understand it on NG++. The whole time loop is vaguely acknowledged at a few points but it's never explained.
>>23784944>We only need the truly strong
>>23785421it ain't a timeloop. It's allmind's simulation.
Guys. am I doing quads correctly?
>>23785795Umamusume crossover confirmed for AC7!I'm surprised From never made a quadleg part like this.
>>23783559 did dafeng own the wall at any point? these look like TIAN-QIANs
>>23785795You were beautiful, outstretched like antennas to heaven. You were beyond your creators. You reached out for God, and you fell. None were left to read your eulogy. No final words. No concluding statement. No point. Perfect closure. This is the only way it should have ended.
>>23785804I have a suspicion that the ching chong frame was originally some kind of heavy/modern BAWS AC early in dev. Rummy still uses parts from it in his build, the mission where you kill the tester mentions that the AC you're destroying was built entirely on Rubicon, and the 12345 booster that became a RAD part slots into the ching chong torso perfectly.

>>23786377i got that one too
>>23786341 i would buy this if they didn't also have MORLEYS on their backs although i don't entirely buy MORLEY being a balam gun entirely either
>>23786388That old wreck in the sewer had a morley attached.
this is the only other armored core game on steam(in a nutshell)should i get it?
>>23786433It's pretty fun despite awkward input scheme on the controller that, for some reason, you can't rebind enough.
>>23778918Armored core? Hell naw, I want my chromehounds
>>23778918serious question. How safe is this site?Will it dox me even if I use a vpn and a burner account?
You know, in hindsight, it's actually really funny how much you can tell Miyazaki's political leanings from the setting in Armored Core 4>Israel is ultimately the biggest evil corporation in the world. It's not the strongest or most advanced force in the story but it uses underhanded methods and promotes infighting with its allies while also using them as shields in prolonged conflicts>Africa has been divided into "White Africa" and everywhere else that's Africa, with explicit mentions of ethnic cleansing wars >Japan is America's subservient dog bitch
>>23787245The only thing that I got was we're a dude from anatolia and literally destroy every corpo.Also I'm done S ranking every hard on AC4 except 'the operation ascend' and 'silent avalanche' mission that I kept at A because it was fucking bullshit. But do anyone knows whom pic related was? It was never stated anywhere.
>>23786390 yeah exactly the styling matches too
>>23787254Enrique Elkano was one of the first LYNX that Global Armaments got. He shows up in For Answer as the designer of most GA NEXTs.
>>23787458I know, I at least fought him. What I never know is the missing number 23 and 29 (cannot choose it).
>>23787517Nobody knows. No, really. Nobody knows.
>>23778918Fuck that, I want gen5 on steam at 60FPS+, but they won't release it because they know it'd have a more active PvP community than VI long term.Probably not the actual reason, but it would happen.
ORIGINAL AC PART!DONUT STEEL!!!Yes, I will include this in the Big Release soon
>>23787518Damn.
>>23787594>I want gen5 on steam at 60FPS+RPCS3 couldn't do that?
>>23787245Miyazaki seems like a standard japanese realpolitik conservative to me. He longs for chivalric samurai honor culture but is aware that it can't survive the pressure from modernist culture. See Sekiro, where Ashina gets severely btfo by the Ministry no matter what they do.
>>23787254Resident AC4 autist here, allow me.>Kojima Particles are DISCOVERED frozen in the Antarctic glaciers>Climate change and depletion of global resources cause the world order to break down>The Danish company Akvavit in cooperation with research institute Anatolia invent a new type of Armored Core, funded by Canadian megacorp Rayleonard>Their third attempt, the AALIYAH, is a success and not long after the Israeli R&D corp Omer manage to replicate Akvavit's tech and it spreads to the other five corporate conglomerates>Once they have enough they begin the National Dismantlement War, where the weakened nations get promptly shitstomped by the 26 company LYNX the Companies have on hand>With the end of nations the Companies seize control of the world's resources and enslave the world>Approx. three years and a bit after the National Dismantlement War, the main inventor of the NEXT and its operating system, Professor Jarnefeldt, dies.>He's survived by his daughter, Fiona, and with his death every other R&D member at Anatolia is poached by the Companies>In the meantime, Fiona saves a Raven and brings him to Anatolia to recover.>With Anatolia having no income, the Director of Anatolia, one Emill Gustav, has the Raven converted into a LYNX and gives him a leftover NEXT the R&D have lying around.>Raven, now Anatolia's Mercenary, takes Company contracts to fund Anatolia. This escalates into the Companies starting to fight each other, and now making use of Kojima weaponry to win short term and not really caring that they're absolutely fucking RUINING the world beyond repair.>The war ends when Anatolia's Mercenary, alongside fellow LYNX mercenary Joshua O'Brien, destroy the Rayleonard group and becoming war buddies as a result.>Omer then blackmails Joshua into destroying Anatolia, threatening that they'll destroy Joshua's home Colony of Aspina if he doesn't.>Anatolia's Mercenary kills Joshua and is now on the run alongside Fiona. To be continued in For Answer.
>>23788275>>With Anatolia having no income, the Director of Anatolia, one Emill Gustav, has the Raven converted into a LYNX and gives him a leftover NEXT the R&D have lying around.So was it really the AALIYAH since it was one of the first in developement after the prototype?Was Rosenthal's HOGIRE and Leone Meccanica's TELLUS one of the other successful early mass produced ACs?
>>23788342It's what makes the most sense, at least. It's the third confirmed NEXT we see developed, preceded by the 002-B Newtype NEXTs you fight in The Womb and one of in Bitter Obligation on Hard Mode. And of course, preceded further by the 00-ARETHA that Joshua pilots in Seed A Barren Earth.>Was Rosenthal's HOGIRE and Leone Meccanica's TELLUS one of the other successful early mass produced ACs?I would say the HOGIRE, given we know that Omer were the first to nick Akvavit and Rayleonard's Kojima research.
>>23766241DxM is $10 on steam… should I?
>>23788620DxM is definitely worth ten bucks. It's decently good fun, if a bit floaty.
>>23788620It's alright, the mech parts are loot based though. And the story is total ass.I liked turning the pilot into a cyborg even though there's like a single side mission where you actually use the pilot on foot.
>>23788809>>23788622I bought it for two bucks on loaded formerly cdkeys
>>23788620Just pirate it bruh.>>23788275Thanks for lining the story plot of 4. I get the gist from playing but this is the first time I actually understand the full plot. But still, who is the missing no.23 and no.29? Any guesses?
>>23789023>Any guesses?None. I'm dead serious bro, nobody fucking knows. There's one autist who wrote a guide on GameFAQs like decades ago saying it was a pre-order exclusive and shit but literally nowhere else corroborates it so it's very likely horseshit.
>>23789259something must've happened behind the scene during 4 to FA.
>>23789260What happened was that 4 was extremely rushed.
>>23789265Yea but what make it rushed? Also there must also be a reason why they changed publisher from sega to ubisoft like that.
>>23789267FromSoft just wasn't doing too hot in general, I believe.
>>23789023Don’t wanna risk my steam account getting banned plus dxm is kinda mid, if I bought it on steam and not a key site I probably woulda refunded it
>>23789437Pirating games doesn't do shit to your steam. But eh, it's your money.
>>23789023Always thought those spots were reserved for Amazigh and Asyut Minya.They are the only ACs that have no ranking, and there are only those two spots missing.
>>23789464That's because Amazigh and Sus are Irregulars. They're not Company LYNX and aren't registered either the way Anatolia's Mercenary (Rank 39) and Joshua O'Brien (Rank 40) are. They are included in data packs and thus, are deliberately unranked. Plus, no fucking way Sus is Rank 29. No fucking way.Asyut Minya is the name of the NEXT, the LYNX himself is called Sus.
Are there any mods that change parts to look like Normals from gen4?
>>23789710No.
>>23789780Fuck
