Do you guys have a signature name for your ACs and player characters?I always call my player character Jonny since it’s the nickname my friends gave me and I call my AC “Hell Knight”, I wanted “Hell’s Missionary” but that name is too long and the game didn’t let me write itI always give it a dark red and almost black brown colour scheme, main is the red and sub is the brown, I tried to make a logo but artistically I’m a disaster, but I’m trying to make a bust of the Hell Missionary costume the perfect Shojin in Kinikumam use since it looks awesome
Is this some kind of copypasta?
>>683686927Nah, I just couldn’t be bothered to write another thread so I just started from the last one ended, I’m really in an armored core mood this week
>>683687187
>>683687294made me laugh, I'm sorry I don't know what came over me, here's a bump, I am going to keep this thread alive with ip switching bumps posing as different anons until it takes off on its own
>>683687396Thanks anon
why are the PS1 Armored Core games so goodhow the fuck did fromsoft get so many things right at the very first try
>>683686812>hell knightthat's not how you name ACs. my suggestions that follow your theme would be SO BELOW, UNDERWORLD FLAME and PALADIN INVERTyou're welcome anon
>>683687991Experience with King’s Field and they were already planing AC even before King’s Field
>>683688124This is an expert.
>>683688124>Paladin InvertHoly shit new name for my mechs
>>683686812>>683688124i hope this thread just becomes mecha names. i named mine FRONTIER ATLAS for almost 8 years.
>>683688874Colour scheme of your mech?
>>683688874my first custom name was "FRONTLINE" idk I thought it was cool, went with a greenish clunky and heavy military mech
>>683686812Packet of Loss
>>683686812Blueballs
>>683690273Is the AC blue?
>>683686812OUTLANDERI just like Morrowind a lot and couldn't think of what to call my mech.

>>683686812Wolfstrider
>>683686812I don't have a set name, unless I'm doing a replay or something and I can't figure out a cool name. Then I'll just name my character Char and AC as Chars Custom with full red color scheme.Other AC names I have used:Gold FistLucky StrikeSecond ServingAngel DownToo BadSnake Eyes
>>683686812Mine is false god and monarch, project wingman stole my signature name :(
>>683686812Didn't ever have a "signature" name, but been rocking this for NG+
My signature was Deep Dive with 2 handing pile bunkers, kind of a gimped and situational build but i liked it a lot. Fcking melted the bigger bosses and units
>>683686812does V work on the ps3 emulator now?
>>683686812AA will always have the coolest cover
>>683687991They had a good sense of what they wanted to do and how to execute on it.
>>683688218>they were already planing AC even before King’s Fieldreally?I'm also amused by how they had Kawamori as their mech designer, of all people
>>683698347The concept of AC is what they wanted to make from the very start. I believe Kawamori is the one that gave them the idea for the mechs to be modular and have parts you can mix and match. Before any art, an AC was just some featureless boxes.
>>683698347>I'm also amused by how they had Kawamori as their mech designer, of all peopleYeah, FromSoft was some random productivity software devs at the time and they had no experience with video games except King's Field. Like I wonder how they got ahold of Kawamori in the first place.
>>683698704so wait, let me get this straightfromsoft wanted to develop AC over anything else from the very beginning and used King's Field as a so to say learning tool in order to acquire the skills so that AC could be the best game they could develop, insteadof being half baked?...why don't more indieshit devs take that approach?
>>683699483Many indie devs tend to have this 'go big or go home' mentality. They go straight up into stuff they want to make right away. It's fine in an idealistic sense but most of the time it's a misfire because the devs tend to overshoot their target due to the scope they had in mind and the developer skills mismatch so there are tendencies of them fumbling in that regard.
>>683699483It's not fair to say they just used kf as a tool. They definitely put their all into it and it was well received. They likely had limitations on what they could do and KF was a project that they could deliver on first. Game development overlaps and work on one thing ramps up as another winds down.
V has the coolest ACs
>>683699948This. It's often better to just get experience completing something and then iterating rather than trying to make "the one" right off the bat.

>>683701252Pretty good number for a mecha game.
>>683699402>I wonder how they got ahold of Kawamori in the first place.my guess is, they just hired him and he accepted the role because they showed him King's Field and that demonstrated they weren't a bunch of amateurs but rather devs that already could deliver a good, finished game>>683699948>>683700240desu that was entirely my pointI will never understand indieshit devs that try to develop their "dream game" as their very first project, only for delivering a POS because they lack the necessary experience for making an actually good gameIf I ever were to make a game (which won't ever happen but I digress) I would probably remake a random PS1 game solely for acquiring experience. that is also the reason remakes are so prevalent nowadays, by remaking a game ja basically a coloring book for inexperienced deva, with the additional side effect that if the remake is good the company may also make money off from it
Is it me or does AC6 have more cutscenes than Elden Ring? Take Shadow of the Erdtree where you enter the DLC land with no cutscenes like it's no biggie, same with most of the major bosses, then you have AC6 with cutscenes around with almost every major story beat.
>>683704728AC6 is a movie game
>>683686812Yeah, its the Lecalicus. And I ad prefixes to it, Lecalicus Mk2, Lecalicus Alpha, etc
>>683686812I call mine rust bucket and have it cosplay as rusty worn out yellow construction equipment, like an old retired bulldozer
anyone has the AC pic that goes into detail for each game?
>>683706353Like the old /m/acg/ one for which game you should play and difficulty ratings?
>>683686812Mine is named Hellbound.
>>683706636yes
>>683704728I need to make a webm for every single cutscene in the game
>>683688124Is Hell Jack a good name? Should it be all caps?
>>683686812Names have no tactical advantage.

For me its LOADER4
>>683690058beige computer colors, with green accents
>>683711384thank you!
>>683687991I mean, at the time, there were no mecha games with the insane level of customisation that AC had
I played AC way after DeS, so when I had to pick a name for my first AC, "Blind" was the first thing that came to mind and it just stuck. My "main" AC is always called that and has a military green color
>>683713243Why are the AC6 tank legs so fucking lame
>>683714804hey fuck you I like them
