I love using hover legs and long range weapons. The NPCs can't really touch you most of the time.

Anyone buy anything from that FromSoftware to Hardware guy? Would be cool to have a model of my PSX AC, but it doesn't look like he's modeled my favorite head/legs yet. Would I be better off learning how to take the blender files and use them for a 3D print?

cute
i don't get why people keep drawing lynx in plugsuits, baggy pilot suits look cute and comfortably huggable

>>23848783
You have link to the guy you're talking about?

>>23849051
plugsuits make more sense when you're imagining lynx as 'hooked up to the AMS through wires, curled up in a vat of gel'
it's perfect for NEW-SUNSHINE pilots though, since their low AMS compatibility probably leads to the use of physical controls where possible

I think gen 5 Moonlight may be my favorite Moonlight in the series. Just look at this thing, isn't it spectacular?

>>23849217
I find it aesthetically pleasing, with the simple geometric shapes and the color scheme composed mostly of muted shades of blue having a soothing effect. I also find the depicted scenery enjoyable, with the arcology marking the line separating the two great blues, the night sky and the ocean that mirrors it. I'm going to assume the lights in the sky are not stars though, even if they were meant to be.

Now, realistically speaking, if I were to pilot a NEXT as a stray mercenary, I'd probably ask myself if the pay's good enough or, if I were good enough, is it fun. I have no interest in stuff like lofty ideals, great causes or a sense of belonging to a greater whole or whatever. Especially if such stuff is political in any way, shape or form.

I'm sad we don't get more hand-held melee weapons as opposed to traditional hardpoint-mounted ones
I want to cave a fucker's cockpit in with a big ass rocket assisted sledgehammer, fuck that, give me an AC sized BOOMHAMMER

This dude: https://www.myminifactory.com/users/ToHardware https://youtube.com/watch?v=fPD01db763c. His youtube channel is apparently his real name, since googling it not only brings up his Artstation and Twitter but also his LinkedIn. Reading into his pages his goal is to convert the parts of the first 3 gens into 1/40 scale printable models, all interchangeable with each other.

Inspire to what?

Being handheld ruins it.

murakumo was the shit
even if it was shit

Formula Front opening music kicks ass.

At last VD, the last AC game on the checklist (I might check out mobile game later for lulz tho)
First, the elephant in the room... SMALLER AND LESS DENSE MAPS = BETTER PERFORMANCE!! Also I swear the post-processing is not as nauseating, but it might be the byproduct of more stable framerate. I don't notice that much difference in gameplay aspect other than rebalanced part stats. Replaying mission is not a chore anymore now that the mission list is back.
One thing I don't like is heavily tying part unlock to mission rank and subquest clear, instead of simple exp bar like V, so I can't passively unlock more parts while repeatedly attempting S rank, especially since I'm carrying over data, getting actual new parts are few and far between.

>I don't notice that much difference in gameplay aspect other than rebalanced part stats
Oh wait, EN management feels less punishing now, making TE weapon not downright annoying to use, building for infinite/long overboost is way easier now.
I like them giving us world/story update after mission kinda like what Last Raven did.
Also, the OST slaps hard, so many catchy tracks here.

>>23850989
The energy pools are much, much bigger than in V, meaning you can pretty easily achieve infinite Glide Boost. In general the much higher amount of energy to work with means you can play a lot more aggressively as opposed to V requiring you to think ahead a bit.

>>23850626
Murakumo the game or Murakumo the fifth gen physical blades?
>>23851072
TE weapons saw energy cost reductions and there's more energy to go around, which was probably necessary due to the maps getting castrated. You'll also notice that laser rifles and cannons can hold their charge for as long as you've got the energy now.
But there's a tradeoff; EN amps now send your shot costs through the atmosphere, so they're a lot less viable.

I should probably feel bad about doing all the MoA arena fights on the garage map, but I really don't. The PSX era games have a lot of of constricted map design leading to builds optimized for tunnel and city fighting, and somehow the AC AI feels like it never has to deal with subpar lock box rotation. So fuck it, if my target tracking sucks because of poor controls I'm gonna even the odds against the enemy ACs, and I refuse to be a poorfag and use Human Plus augments.

>Can attack allied NPC before they turn on you later, or to take out the competition in kill count type mission
man, I'm glad VD brought back shit like this...

>>23850989
speaking of which, did you play fromula front and ninebreaker?

>>23851355
I did, though I never bothered getting all gold in NB, and using manual control instead going full AI in FF.

>>23849566
If you're going to post 5th gen moonlight, post something where it's actually activated, not just the emitter. Bunch of shitters here never played 5th gen and so don't know the glorious sight of the plasma weapons in 5th gen.
>>23849690
That was also in 5th gen, as a super weapon. Most of the super weapons were pretty dogshit in PVP, but it was still funny to rip off your own arm so you could hit a motherfucker with a quintuple chainsaw drill thing or a support beam turned into a jet hammer.

>>23850615
Your mother was handheld.

I want 5th Gen gameplay with 3rd Gen art design
