>>683700134Woah what a fucking flop
>>683700134Armored FLOP
>>683700220>>683700313>sells as many as all previous entries COMBINED>flop
>>683700134Neat.
>>683700419but enough about Elden Ring
Flopped Flop VI
>>683700220>>683700313shazam lost, cocksuckers
>>683700134after sales.
>>683700134Staggerslop
FromSoft need to make a third person Shadow Tower Abyss sequel so fucking bad, the game has quite literally limitless possibilities in their already well established gameplay systems and ideas.
>>683700134>Stellar blade can't even hit 1 million sales despite being called the savior of videogames>Shitty robot simulator makes 3 million
>>683700134Fucking loved this games trailer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs2piSWfofQ
>>683700134DLC fucking when?I hope they bring back turning, actual FCS and arm weapons
>>683700419>lel it sold more than games made 20 years ago when the market was way smallerNo shit, retard.Also, when considering Bandai Namco?Yeah, they're probably gonna consider this a flop when it didn't get close to Elden Ring numbers. Because shareholders are fucking retards.
>>683700134>literally sold less than Elden Ring DLC has in its first weekSo From were lying when they said AC was a success then, the loss in opportunity cost over making 2 good ER DLCs is something like losing 5 million extra sales
>>683700709A third of the sales on a third of the platforms
>>683700848>>683700985>Yeah, they're probably gonna consider this a flop when it didn't get close to Elden Ring numbersIt doesn't matter because Fromsoft self-publishes in JapanMiyasaki has also stated that Armored Core is their child, and they will bever stop making them no matter how badly they sell Also Fromsoft doesn't take the success of a game into account, they see the money only as opportunity to make more games that they like.Also 3 fucking million is absolutely a success compared to shit like >>683700709
You niggers are fucking retarded if you think AC6 cost even a third of what Elden Ring did to make. Guaranteed this shit was a success by their metrics.
>>683701270ER reused a ton of stuff from DS, what makes you think it's all that expensive? All that land is empty.Meanwhile AC6 is pretty much brand new, reuses no assets as far as I can see. Even with a smaller scope that's expensive
>>683700746They probably wont. The streamlined gameplay will probably be the new norm if they continue to make content.What would you guys like to see in the DLC?>return of arm weapons>aux tools like missle flares>more hud customization and the ability to change the AC's computer voice
>>683701270>cost 1/3rd to make>sold 1/10thRetardbro...
this thread reeks of shazamtranny desperation
>>683701454yeah and none of the previous souls games sold half as much as elden ring did in a few years, are they flops too?
>>683701538yeah it's always them
GATLING GUN GOES BRRRRRRRRRRRRhttps://youtu.be/c6QU2i6-BQc
>>683700746Where are they even going to go with the story if it gets a DLC
>>683700701Shadow Tower has an absolutely dreadfully unfun durability mechanic.There is a niche for an FPS dungeon crawler though. A new series taking a lot of things both from KF and ST
so is this the shazamtroon thread? I thought it would be civil but apparently not.
>>683700134All thanks to my wife.
>>683700713I hundred percented the game and have never seen that before. It's like the Malenia/Radahn fight. Why the fuck don't they put this shit into the game? Put it in the main menu after 100% at least if you fear it is distracting. Just put it in the fucking files.
>>683701591If every DS game was made from the ground up, yeah it would be a flop with those numbers. But they're all taking assets From the previous Software so it makes money
>>683701685Obviously they would balance it proper, but even then it became a non-issue halfway through the game, at least for me. It was pretty brutal at the start though, particularly the second biome. I like the idea of moving through these hellscapes using up whatever weapons you can so none of them are some superior +10 atk weapon you can play with if you find one. It's good, felt very survival-horror esque.
>>683701657Playing as the other Raven would be neat.
>>683701739Your wife seemed pretty happy I made contact with her last night.
>>683701739ALLMIND exists for ALL mercenaries
>Fromsoft made a stealth Eureka Seven inspired game that sold literal millions while the Bones are too busy raping the remnants of franchise into dirt for some reason
>>683701657Don't get too attached to 621
>>683701657Add a series of side scenarios that takes place during the original campaign. Gets integrated into NG+. Provides more insight about the setting and characters.
>>683700220>>683700313Discordtrannies
>>683701657It's a prequel and 621 will become 9-ballcalling it now
Would have sold more if it hadn't just rode the coattails pf Fromsoftware and it was a legitimately good game
>>683702169That, or a prequel like Artorias of the Abyss, where you play the events leading up to the first coral burn.
>>683702376It's a mech action game, a niche in a niche, how much do you really expect it to sell?
>>683701591The last Souls game was 7 years ago and sold more than Armored Core 6.It's ubdeniably that issue like no turn-rate and shit PVP permanently stained the reception of the game.
>>683702502Anything less than Elden Ring sale number is a victory for Shazamchads.
Absolutely delusional takes
fromsoftware can literally make any game that will sell millions
>>683701406AC6 saves a lot of money by reusing the maps for multiple missions. Also having a traditional non-open world map and mission design probably saved a lot of money too.
>>683702502Would have made 5 million copies by now if it wasn't terribly shallow and 98% of the discourse surrounding it wasn't anime quotes.They really fumbled the gameplay aspects by streamlining the fuck out of targeting and piloting.
>>683702589Shazamtrannies consider ER a flop as well, so no one gives a fuck what those retards think.
>>683700313>almost 200 million gross>flophello retard
>>683700746Rumors indicate that they're working on it but I wouldn't put much weight behind it.Would love to see an expansion pack sized DLC package inline with the older games though.
>>683702527No PvP in any From game has ever affected sales performance in any fucking way at all.
How do you learn to dodge? Just started playing and feels like I run out of 'stamina' way too quickly if I try to dodge/attack.
>>683702634I never understood this picwhy are those ACs congratulating the Guntank as if it's Shinji at the end of NGE?
>>683700848no waythey put a fraction of resources into AC as ERif anything this just shows them they can put more money into the next game and it will pay offand that's absolutely right because FoR was honestly pretty mediocre and ugly even though I enjoyed it
This is the only game that legitimately feels like you're playing an interactive mecha anime. Some setpieces and action animations are straight from Gundam Unicorn tier anime.
>>683702697would've should've could've. I don't think it could have gotten close to their regular souls games either way, Armored Core just doesn't have the mass appeal of dark fantasy shit.
>>683702697>oh yah, I totally would've picked up AC6 by now, but I heard Anon sperge about minute balancing details and I decided to hold offt. no one, ever
>>683700134I hope that's good enough to get more. Loved AC6.
>>683700134Gaming disappointment of 2023 for meThe Sekiro guy clearly hates mecha so let him do samurai slop or whatever and give the IP to someone who cares
Unlike Square, this is considered a success even From was surprised that it sold this well. Bandai were ok with it also. Idk where this flop nonsense comes from.
>>683702854Use boosters with lower qb cost or have a larger en pool, some of the generators are pure dogshitAlso there's rarely a reason to spam QB. It has no iframes so its only for positioning and breaking fcs lock or dodging missiles.
>>683703060ywnbaw
>>683701406>Even with a smaller scope that's expensiveI doubt it, it's mostly low effort art with awful shadersMany of the enemies are just made up of the same pieces you are. So you have a few bosses and enemies that aren't
>>683703112How do you dodge then? Just anticipate the attack and speed away/jump?I seem to have trouble even with the helicopter
I got the real ending yesterday. Amazing game. Very fun. They need to upgrade the engine. There is no other way around it. Specially when we think about a game of giant mechas.
>>683702527Sekiro sold +10 mil in under five years lil bwo, that game doesn't have coop nor pvp, and i know a lot of autists who don't even play that one because MUH CUSTOMIZATION
>>683702854If it goes beep beep and paints a red circle on the enemy, you dodge.But in general, yeah quickly touching the ground to regenerate energy is something you need to get good at. But then again, if you are flying too much right now you'll likely have less issues than the people who struggle to leave the ground at all.Also note that different thrusters and generators can vastly change how your dodge and energy recovery works exactly. Don't forget to open the extra details page when swapping out parts.
>>683702854Move in a single direction so they lead the projectile and immediately QB the opposite direction when they shoot.Keep in mind your core part has influences on your generator QB efficiency. If your AC is heavier than the chosen booster can handle your QB reload time will worsen.
>>683702995It didn't need to get close. It needed to have good gameplay and positive word of mouth which it didn't get. You think that if they make AC6.5 now it will sell better than this? There's an old core audience that is disappointed by the casualization of the mecha building and handling and a fleeting new casual audience that may or may not return and that will instantly consider any game with a movement system more involved than locking on and boosting/assault boosting clunky to play.You don't build a franchise by streamlining complexity out of it.
>>683703413I won't play Sekiro because I didn't like the way damage workedI just want to bonk shit not have to track some other enemy resource to know I can do damage, fuck that
>>683703336You have three weapons. You are using the wrong two.
>>683703114I remember when you clowns defended this shit
>>683703507>It didn't need to get closeOh ok, so 3 million is still pretty good then?
Planet is closed because of Coral
post webms>>683703509>I just want to bonk shit not have to track some other enemy resource to know I can do damage, fuck thatyou can still bonk with the axe prosthetic and mortal blade
>>683703614No, because the gameplay sucked, so it will get the AC4A/ACVD effect that the sequel will actually flop because of the poor reception of the first game.
>>683703351They did upgrade the engine. AC6 is actually technically competent as opposed to Elden Ring.
>>683700134nice cant wait for next entry.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cSUj6xpnl4
>>683703507Speak for yourself and only yourself dumbass.
>>683700709>>683701176Comparing to Stellar blade is retarded since that one was PS5 only (Sony paid for this so they don't lose money being exclusive.
>>683700134I'm le new raven :)
>3 million sales is a flop nownever change /v/
>>683700134Is not enough.
>>683701657How did they make Dark Souls 2 follow up 1?This example is not intended to be optimistic.
https://youtu.be/_rfxZSa2-c4https://youtu.be/EaF-Cwtm1gA
>>683703336Reaction dodging mostly isn't a thing except for charged attacks from an AC and moving in a way that makes you evasive, enemy FCS attempts to lead you so constantly changing directions avoids shots while QBing forces them to reacquire FCS lock.Its a different situation for big bosses like the chopper, it's 100% about positioning (and abusing assault boost.) It absolutely will dominate you at range but can't deal with you in melee range besides backing away. If you linger below it, its bazookas will mess you up and its pincer missiles can hit you from behind cover if you're careless. So the fight is really about ABing in, melee, then hiding while you regain your energy and doing it again.
>>683703861These companies really need to learn how to set their expectations.
>>683703861fromsoft self publishes in japan so it doesn't matter what the niggers at bandai think
this doesn't make any sense like at allsomeone is lying, no way they only sold 200k copies in 9 months
>>683703732No, it's just far less seamless and ambitiousElden Ring looks better and has generally better effect, noticeable when you run over water as opposed to boosting over water in AC6
>>683703684I never got that farmaybe I'll give it another try someday but I'm pretty tired of soulslike games after Elden Ring. Sekiro is very different but still
>>683703861>major breakthrough for the IP>NOOOO IT NEEDS TO BE 10 TIMES MORE MONEY
>>683703771>that one was PS5 onlyStellar blade sold 49K on the 1st week on PS5Armored core sold 115K on the 1st week on PS5
>>683703594To be fair, if an animation or a game mechanic gets in the way of fun, it has to go.
>>683704005Japanese fans hated AC6 gameplay and want turn rate backThey are not buying AC6.5 if it is not radically different.
>>683704026You can't even change the aspect ratio or go over 60 FPS in Elden Ring, shut the fuck up. Elden Ring's a mess and everyone who defends it is a blind retard.
>>683700134Zanzibot...forgive me...
>>683704025Vast majority of game sales happen in the first month of release the majority of the time. Most games don't actually sell well over long periods of time, the games that do (GTA5, ER, etc) are the exceptions.
>>683704119Source: Your ass
Still a better game than ER.Mecha filters the tourists HARD.
>>683704103my wife Ranni
>>683701657more stuff about the Rubicon Liberation Front, introduce more corporations, on Rubicon, flesh out Dafeng and Schneider
>>683700134Who cares?
>>683700709Whoa a multiplat game sells better than a single platform one during the weakest console gen in 30 years?
Niggers are delusional when they think they will get another game when Sekiro was far more successful, teased a sequel in its true ending and yet there is literally no sign of ever getting another Sekiro.
>>683704025No it's very possible.This is just the marketing that happens when a game reaches a milestone, but AC6 had generally a lukewarm at best reception and fell ouf of relevancy fast due to being worse mechanically than previous AC gens.This is just the little amount of extra sales it got after the latest summer sale. It's no legs now
>AC6 didn't sell enough because the autistic grognard population (that almost let AC die several times before) doesn't like how fast the ACs turn nowYou guys are kind of embarrassing, you know that? You guys are a rounding error.
>>683704152I don't believe it

>>683701657>Ayre or some new character contacts you to do a series of jobs that go in-deep exploration of the Institute, Liberation Front's past and allow you to fight the most bullshit secret creations of the Institute and then salvage them and use them yourself
>>683703952It's capitalism, retard. Everything after the previous thing should be bigger, according to them
>>683704368Not even. It's just the one guy in this thread.

>>683703684Why does the PCA build their warships out of cardboard
>>683704471Armored Core is in Super Robot Wars
>>683704380Its more true for consoles then it was for PC, but is still the case for PC as well. Reality is most consumers are on the new release hype train non stop.
>>683701538it's so strange>if it hits our sales targets we'll continue, we just like the series>hey it exceeded targets, cool>hey it outsold the entire rest of the series combined, sweetBLUNDER OF THE CENTURY TORTANIC 2 OH HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN FLOP FLOP FLOPso silly
>>683704368>NOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO LIKE CASUALIZED SLOP WHY DO YOU HAVE STANDARDS Eat shit, turn speed is paramount to any vehicle game. It's what could have salvaged AC6
>>683704513~infinite sustainable growth~
>>683704549 all the money went to the data centers that keep the Enforcement System running.
>>683700709It took Armored Core nearly an entire year to sell 3 million. Stellar Blade passed 1 million in 2 months in a single console
I WANTED A REAL MECH GAME WITH RANGED GAMEPLAY INSTEAD WE GET FUCKING SPACE DARK SOULS WITH MELEE NIGGER FOCUS AND A RUSH TO BUILD STAGGER THE ENTIRE GAME REVOLVES AROUND THAT STUPID STAGGER BAR AND FILLING IT UP AND ALL RANGED PLAY SUCKS DICK FUCK THIS SHITTY SEKIRO WANNABE GAME
>>683704564if it did Elden Ring numbers these same faggots would cry and piss and shid their skirts complaining about how the series is too popular and not niche enough.
>same shitpost word for wordthat's terribly low effort for an organized discord groupdisgraceful evendo you guy ever take a look in the mirror?
>>683702895The true ending is similar to the true ending of evangelion.
Is it worth $40? I loved Sekiro and Lies of P, but I fucking hated Elden Ring.Never played an AC game either.
>>683704471By adding the UCR-10/A Vengeance.
>>683700134Excellent, now where's my Lost Kingdoms 3?
>>683704725Armored Core was always about melee tho. Play something else.

>>683704725*ABs into u and kicks u with chicken legs*I had fun, cope
>>683704786Sure.
>>683704786YesAnd you should play the older games too if you like mechas, they are all easily emulatable
>>683704786Depends, do you like garages
>>683704119Flat out lie.Japanese fans loved AC6.
>>683704725Melee has always been important in AC. If you don’t like stagger build for stability.
>Oct 14, 2023OP is a fag as usual

>>683700419he's american if his tranny games doesn't make 100 billion the first day it's a flop and half of that money goes to israel
Doomposters destroyed
>>683704783but why Guntank? are those kind of builds crutches for noobs in AC6 or something?
>>683703705For Answer outsold 4 though that's not saying much since it was still one of the least successful games in the series
>>683704725Melee was always good in AC, if all you wanted was ranged go play mechwarrior

>>683705282>he isn't aware of the wheelchair
>>683705282Yes, wheelchair was a crutch legtype before it got nerfed 5 times in a row. Now it's still somewhat of a crutch, but not as much.
>>683704849i know several soulsfags that couldnt finish AC6, you take away co-op and summons from them and they collapse
>>683704564>>683704564the biggest tell is whining about turning. at least the eternal lock-on complaint makes sense, whining about turning of all things is just funny

>>683705404Codename; Special Olympics
>>683704549>AnonymousIt only appears that way because it would be boring if the things just fell after you destroyed the Bridge. Just accept that it's an exaggeration to allow for rule of cool -- you're playing a mech game, after all.
>>683700709who has once said stellar blade was the savior of videogames
>>683705580incels
>>683705470NOOOOOO MUH TURN SPEED
>>683705580/v/'s headcanon
Why do people complain about aiming in this game when there is a perk that restores manual aiming?
>>683705404That thing was so dumb on release, I actually kinda miss how it was.How am I supposed to go 400+ now?
>>683703705Mentally broken shazamfag
>>683705693auto lock on is fine for PVE, but drastically dumbs down the PVP portion, makes juking people more or less impossible and reduces PVP to just running into each other
>>683700848Bandai already stated over a YEAR AGO that they were pleased with the performance and are open to more similar projects.You are a stupid retard and you look stupid and everyone in this thread will laugh at your ignorance.
>>683704928Seasonal retards and the Ace Combat audiences that basedfaces at90% of Ace Combat 6 buyers never played an AC game before.The way the core audience was treated is disgusting and shills here have been rampant constantly backpedaling and making up excuses.>Don't worry guys, quickturn is a manual action - but it doesn't matter anyway>Don't worry guys hard lock has a penalty - but it doesn't matter anyway>Don't worry guys there's manual aim - but it doesn't matter anyway>Don't worry guys there's no decoupled camera if you aim - but that makes mivement and strafing inconsistentNo matter how you cut it, when you have a new game after over 10 years and most of the old community considers it a meh entry at best with nearly no honeymoon period you fucked up hard.It's clear that the direction doesn't care for Armored Core and wanted to hijack the revival we deserved to make some shitty pseudo fighting game with none of the inertia, weight and fweling of actually piloting a mecha.
>turning speed
>>683704618>CASUALIZEDI distinctly remember when people on this board were bitching about the fucking tutorial boss being too hard.
>>683705764you know high level PvP uses manual targeting right? for a while the meta was manual targeting with bazookas and their huge splash it was almost like playing quake 3 with rocket launchers
>>683700134Now where is the DLC?

I didn't think there was a fanbase more loathsome than Monster Hunter, but then ACfags surfaced out of the gutters when this game released.
>>683705386>>683705404fair enough lolI only played AC1 and really dislike tank legs, I find they make playing the game a snoozefest
>>683705740It used to go 800+ with kickspam.Basically infinite booster and faster than anything made to actually fly, same for the heavy tank legs, but slightly slower.Tetras can still go 1200+ with QB.The whole pvp scene was/is retarded.

>>683705836quick-turn is a mechanic that would inevitably get ditched. complaints about hard lock are very valid. >>683705872I realize that, but the scene died quickly because 1v1 auto-lock is retarded and not particularly fun. 3v3 is a bit better because there's enough chaos to discourage auto-lock retardation, but there weren't enough decent maps
>>683705836what does Ace Combat have to do with this?
>>683705836I've played every game from 3 on and I think 6 is great. What now?

>>683704136>>683704141shazam lost
>>683702168Too late
>>683705864Nobody did beyond release, when you learn the mechanics and weapon synergy around how stagger works every boss except 2 is easy as fuck with almost any loadout. It's Fromsoftware's easiest AAA release in the sense that after you gain meta knowledge about the hoops and nonsense the stagger system is centered about the game is trivial. Unlike say, Sekiro, where understanding the stagger system is half the battle and there's a tight executipn requirement, AC6 is fairly basic and lenient on that last part. In fact, a big issue is how easy most of the missions are
>>683704708>Stellar Blade passed 1 million in 2 months in a single console>No sourcehttps://twitter.com/StellarBlade/Your gookshit hasn't even hit 1 million after 3 months
>>683704476I sincerely want AC parts based on CEL-240. Seriously, it's already reverse-joint, just take the wings off.

does ACV and VD still run badly on RPCS3 or? I want to play them
>>683706516just keep in mind they're the worst games in the series
I want to play older AC games, but not the oldest ones. How do I most easily access AC4 and 5, and their side games? Are they available on PS+ or something simlar?
>>683706516Some people seem to have gotten it running but I still get frequent crashes, not sure what the right settings are
>>683706410Can't. The IBIS series outside HAL 826 were designed as custom machines.If they make parts it will have to be, as you said, "based" on it. But that just means it'll be an imitation.

You can actually have gameplay diversity with hard lock if you have turn speed. Hard lock is not new or an issue by itself, it's fucked up in conjunction to how weightless and inertia-less your piloting can be especially spinning around anything tracking your target
If it was up to the schizoposter, AC would just be dead and buried forever
>>683706843by quick-turn, I mean turn speed itself as a mechanic, I misspoke :)>hard lock isn't newI agree, but it's obviously there to compensate for PVE design (aka iblis fight, maybe ayre fight)
>>683706843VD killed the series for 12 yearsit's a miracle miyasaki actually cares and has tons of respect for culture (unline subhuman western devs) otherwise we wouldn't be now having weekly AC threads on /v/

>>683707172on the plus side I got White Glint for a normal price instead of the scalper pricesa lot of the AC kits got reprints which is great for me
>>6837058366 improved on the gameplay in every conceivable way, except for the stagger mechanic which kind of sucks.
Thanks for making it just for me, From. I'm looking forward to the next game you make just to make me happy.
>>683701657I'd like more Kate. She was pretty underutilized in the base game.

Im happy to see good game succeed. AC6 deserves it
>>683700419It is when you spend more money on developing and marketing. FoR was one of the most shilled Armored Core game and was on multiple platforms. 3m is pathetic.

>>683707668(You)
>>683707172So sexy.
AC6 was my favorite game last year. I was happy it won Action game of the year, impressive for a niche game.
>>683707126Memezaki killed the series
>play with auto-lock on >game is alright>play without auto lock on>game becomes a very fun and visceral experienceWould recommend.Now I have to do a playthrough with mouse+kb and disable soft lock on completely.
>>683705976Yes, and they are SOO much better than 6th gen it's not even funny.6 is the quintessential "made for a modern audience" game but /v/ defends the fuck out of it because>Most of /v/ doesn't care about Armored Core and only knew about From through Souls games>Allows them to be contrarian towards better, but more popular Fromsoftware games (this will be even more common later, AC6 is the "S team" and whatever is next is le B team)>Armored Core 6 is a casual approachable power fantasy. Most of /v/ is very casual low skilled players and none of them want to master a movement system, quickturns, couple movement with tracking targets,...Basically, /v/ IS the modern audience. AC6 may be hated by /m/ but it certainly is /v/ core, meaning it checks all the boxes of the casual, not too popular but AAA japanese power fantasy game.
>>683707851golem get ye gone
>>683700746They're working on the next entry in the series instead of DLC, from what I hear.
>>683700134It was better than Elden Ring
OP weapons getting brought back when?
>>683707758Prove me wrong. Show me this isn't the most shilled Armored Core game then.
>>683705836I entered the series with 3, hated everything from 4 on, and I liked 6 and am actually playing through it again with armory mod now. Am I too much of a newfag for your purity spiraling ass to consider me part of the core audience?
>Game does well>From happy>Bamco happy>IT FAILED

>>683700419Probably had a budget equal to every other installment combined
>>683708410And the sky is blue. That shouldn't be surprising, honestly.
>>683708262They probably got filtered by the Helicopter and have been mad ever since.
>>683703861And that's exactly why Fromsoft is leaving Bamco behind.
>>683707989>AC6 may be hated by /m/Where? Discussions on /m/ certainly don't revolve around screeching about muh souls boogeyman and sales comparisons
>>683708043so this is the new discord tactic huh
>>683703861That tweet turned out to be bullshit. Kadokawa's February 2024 financial report said it sold beyond expectations.
>>683708043All souls games other than ds2 are better than that turd
What's with some people on /v/ having to start hating a series the moment it becomes popular?
>>683707668But half of the people don't even like robots game even less one with no characters portraits.
>>683707989The gameplay is objectively better than previous iterations though.
>>683708752>it sold beyond expectationsOf course it did, previous titles barely made any money. This one reached dark souls level and has potential for growth.
I WANT GYRO-SPHERE LEGS AND I WANT IT NOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

>>683700134holy flop
>>683709004Exactly. My guess is the game was made with a fairly low budget and made a decent profit as well because of that too.
>>683701774uhh isn't that huge thing that glowie special vehicle you fight in one of the paths you choose?
>>683704005>bandaithat was a kadokawa report

I'd love a new style of legs. Maybe an airborne mech with jet legs or a pogo sticks that jumps even better than chicken legs.
>>683702854The AI is worse at vertical tracking. You can dodge attacks better by going up or down fast.
>>683709069>fall after breakingshit idea, always was, i know you're a resident shitposter no need to reply
>>683700419I liked the game, but I honestly expected more sales considering it released on all platforms, the current and last gen, and late into the console life cycle where there’s a lot of consoles (potential buyers).
>>683709667You don't get it, it sold more than 20 years old games that means it's good
>>683709667>>683709789Nice try shitposters
3 million of retards with a nigger-tier taste.
>>683707410>I'd like more Kate. She was pretty underutilized in the base game.You're a funny guy.
>>683709121so where's the /m/ hate for the game, seems like people are actually talking about it instead of going on and on about discord trannies
>Game sells 3 million>IT FAILEDI bet you niggers are square enix shareholder tier 3 million is failed product because it couldn't reach COD/GTA levels
>>683709121you literally proved that guys pointRetard
>>683709121all I gathered from this is that fanart fags are getting out of hand and we need official portraits NOW
>>683709865but enough about your sperm count
>>683709882You joke, but Kate is really her own character even if she is just AM larping. It would be cool to see more of AM's machinations outside of her interactions with 621 using KM as her proxy.
>>683708262they still can't explain how Elden Ring or TotK were flops
>>683701657If it'll be limited to new scenarios in the base game and not a separate title like previous expansions, I'd love to see more behind the scenes stuff with ALLMIND. Her hidden spy units littered around in the early levels are a great direction to explore in.
>>683710398They were.
>>683700134Embarrassing
>>683700134Tremendous game.

>>683701657Balam path or you playing as Rusty after he propably ejected when Walter shot his AC
>AC6 is a flop with 3 million sales>Stellar Blade sold 1 millionhuh
Hopefully the success makes them confident in doing more traditional AC themes next time, the ambiant focus really got stale in 6.
>>683710979Shame it runs like shit on the Deck. No idea what FromSoft did with the later updates but I can't even hit 20 fps when in the garage anymore.
>>683708262It's easy (You)s. Same reason people still shitpost Fallout 3 to death as being Todd's gift to mankind.
>>683704783>true ending>Walter and Carla die off-screenno fuck off
>>683701657For DLC it would be Branch focused for sure. IE the original Raven’s faction. They’re set up in the way where DLC would make them the clear focus. For a direct sequel like old? Honestly anything really. Could be back to Earth and maybe the solar system with the emphasis stuff like Jupiter got.
>>683711224>5 platforms vs 1 (with paid exclusivity)AC6 sales are disappointing no matter how you put it. Sekiro, a new IP, pulled off nearly double that
>>683711276FUCKING FREELANCER
Only bad thing about the game is that the coral weapons are unlocked in fucking NG+2. They are so fun, but when you finally get them you've grown tired of the game.
>>683711226Hoping they let Hoshino and Miyazawa go off next time, because you can kind of tell they wanted to given Disc 3 of the OST, but likely has to rein themselves in to match the tone more consistently.
>>683702168If anything happens to this hound I will burn all of Rubicon and then myself.
>>683711531>disappointing >In niche type of game that never sold anywhere close before or afterok
>>683711492People die off-screen in all the endings, anon. At least with the true ending you get to see their destroyed ACs.
>>683711531I would say it’s not disappointing because From themselves said the game surpassed expectations and are wanting to do more. I think they have more of the deciding vote than your musky asshole.
>>683711495>Branch they were cringe, no thanks
>>683711586You can tell that they still managed to get a good chunk of what they liked in if you listen to the OST proper. The problem that people misattribute to the OST is the game's sound mixing. You can never hear the music over everything else going on.
>>683700709Stellar Blade shills did NOT like this post kek
>>683703861lmao this was debunked months ago
>Multiplat took 1 year to sell 3mil That's pretty pathetic.
>>683700419He probably thinks if it doesn't pull CoD tier numbers then it's a flop
>>683711850>>683711495Branch was fine for what we saw of them. Which was not too much. The name is weird. I wonder if there is a japanese pun.
>>683705580>>683705660Retard.
>>683711276Make sure that Raytracing is turned off and that you are using the latest Proton version, I'm getting a pretty solid 40 fps with a mix of low-medium settings on 720p so I have no clue how you have managed to fuck up your install of the game.
why the fuck does emulating the older games have to be a pain in the ass
>>683712181It is. There are 6 billion+ people on the planet.Not even 1 percent of that population has played your shitty "game".
>>683712265>One postSure showed me, retard
>>683712307By that logic literally no other series beside fucking Pokemon or GTA is worth anything.
>>683712287Those were the first things I checked for. Thing is the game runs fine in actual missions, it's just the garage where things go to absolute shit.
>>683712304Works on my machine
>>683711276I beat the game at 40FPS on the Deck OLED. It has drops, yeah, but they were surprisingly rare for me and it was never anywhere near 20 FPS.
>683712376Moving the goalpost? I'll take that as a concession.
>>683712441Literally yes.
>>683712541At least you admit you're terminally retard, too bad for you the only cure is killing yourself.
>>683700134>want to buy this game since it came out>find out it was just on sale for 35 dollars two weeks agoDamn, I want to play it but am financially stressed rn. Need a 29.99 sale somewhere and will probably have to wait until christmas now
>>683712523Concession refused, dumbass
>>683701657The coral jihad that you and your wife undertake after the true ending of course.
>>683712453Poor guys never had chance
>>683711915Nah, most of the tracks in the game just kind of whatever. There's a few standouts, like rough and decent, but most of the tracks are ambience without really much going on. You're not really supposed to notice the OST much in game, which makes it more noticeable how lack luster it is on its own outside of the game.
>AC6 isn't a REAL ACDefine Real AC.
>>683700709It's neither shitty, nor about robots, nor is it a simulator.
>>683712840ACs 1-5
>diesel jihadJesus Christ.
I liked AC6 as a newcomer to the series but I think the over reliance on the stagger bar and the fact that all mech types turn on a dime unless they are "sprinting" makes the combat outside of the bosses/event stages feel very samey and kind of bland regardless of what build I'm using.I'm downloading AC3 and Last Raven ATM since they seem to be the most popular (or at least most talked about) games in the series. I wanna see if the turn speed meme really makes all the difference and if stagger has always been so fucking oppressive in the series.
>>683700134Unironically a massive flop when SotE sold twice as much in less than 1/20th of the time

>>683713527Nah, Demon Souls and Dark Souls did.I guarantee you that if the souls games didn't sell well we would've had like 2 more Armored Core games out by now and From software would still be a fairly niche developer. Instead they chased the obvious cash cow in the making and it paid off big time for them.

>>683714708I'm just pointing out that the OST this time around was pretty weak for an AC game.
Another Age has the coolest game cover
>>683715035I liked it...THO
>>683715035nah it was really fucking good. you niggers need to stop trying to pass your shit opinions as empirical facts.
>>683714363No that sounds pretty in line with the common 5th Gen fag. Imagine if there was a wack souls game that sacrificed everything for its fucking multiplayer and that’s 5th Gen. You’re essentially would be talking to someone who takes Souls PVP extremely seriously as the game’s core defender.
>>683715206>GoodCope.
>>683700419Slowest kid in the race
>>683714979Correct. Glad you agree with me, bot.
>>683715135The cover AC is pretty peak and Balam should be ashamed they didn’t make anything as cool looking for AC6. Not even to Crest’s standards.
>B-BOT!Now I accept your concession
>>683715206Not him but while the OST was fine in a vacuum, it's a massive departure from every other entry's soundtrack.Stargazer and maybe arguably Rusted Pride were the only two songs that matched expectations. There's no way you can listen to 1-3's industrial techno, 4's drum n bass, or 5s rock, and then think that 6's muted ambience carries the same energy.Again, 6's OST was perfectly fine, but it sure as fuck wasn't AC music.
ACV has the best mecha design ever.If you made White Glint cosplay in AC6 you are gay.

>open thread expecting that one autist to be crying about lock on and turning>he is
More like an NPC with your constant "NO U"ing.
>>683715227?An overwhelming majority of VD's multiplayer was co-op, not PVP.You could play the entire campaign in co-op.You could play the entire arena in co-op.There were multiple superbosses that could only be beaten in co-op.
>>683716075Who are you quoting? Are you a schizo?
>>683716096You just proved his point lmao, AC5/VD super focused on MP at the expense of literally everything else, you weren't getting the full experience unless you played MP
>>683716212But it's not PvP.And why not just beat the game in single player? That's what me and my friends did.
>>683716114meant for >>683715409
>>683715227didn't ACV have NPCs you could hire?
>>683712198I always thought Branch was somehow related to Overseer considering how their emblem is a tree. Plus Walter seems to react to the name Raven when you get it like he knows what it is. But this is never expounded upon even as you fight and defeat all members of Branch in the various playthroughs.
>>683715758nha, it's gen 3/3.5 with crest
>>683713003Stagger as seen in AC6 was new to the series. Stagger in older gens meant a split second of being jostled when you get hit.
>>683700134Neat. Hope the next one does even better since they've got a wider audience now.
>>683700134Pretty good. Slightly more than Sekiro in the same span of time.
>>683713961Technically Liberator of Rubicon is the RLF route even if you'll spend the majority of missions with them in it wrecking their shit.
>>683716364I don't understand why WALTUH did not side with the PCA considering they both share the same goal of preventing the red diesel from leaking into the universe. Even Branch, even the jihadists. They all have shared goals.
>>683716314No. AC 2 and 3 had some missions where you could hire an MT or AC to accompany you. ACV had a system called UNAC where you programmed a partner that would take the place of player(s) in co-op or pvp modes. It was actually an incredibly deep and complex system where you could bake in specific tactics for different conditions, literally programming.Additionally, ACV/VD revolved around a clan system, where 30 people fought under the same banner. It also acted as a lobby.If you needed help on a mission and no one in your clan wanted to help (or you had no friends), a clan-less player could be hired on as a freelance mercenary for a fee.
>Burning the coral and saving the galaxy from turning into a giant tinder box via easily ignitable, exponentially expanding space gasoline is considered the bad endingI get that we have to glass an entire populated world to do it, but the alternative seems a lot worse when just the coral growing on one planet can incinerate the entire solar system.

>>683717428he's correct THO
>>683717009The potential offered by coral is unique, basically it is a parallel dimension where souls go to chill. AllMind wanted to privatize such natural resource.
>>683715886uhhhhhh human plus????
>>683717009The former is immediate execution of a massive population and all individuals associated. The latter is a potential problem that could theoretically be resolved with enough research and understanding. The biggest issues are that nobody knows what the fuck Coral is thinking (other than literally only Dolmayan and 621 at this point, even Iguazu was just getting ear-splitting feedback) and that its world-ending potential mostly comes from results of grievous mishandling with utterly devastating consequences. The old Fires of Ibis were caused by a scientist intentionally burning the Coral in a hope to wipe it all out. The Fires of Raven involves you intentionally crashing the Xylem into the Vascular Plant. The only reason why it's considered "bad" is because it's the panic button to a threat that's not even guaranteed. Subjecting Rubicon to eternal Corporate wars is far worse imho. I burn the Coral to spare them the hell of eternal warfare.

Why didn't the Coral blow up the solar system until after retards started gathering it all in one place?
>>683716840PCA wanted explicitly to contain and prevent others from messing with the coral. They would have allowed coral collapse to happen and prevented anyone from taking intrusive measures to stop it. And they certainly wouldn't have supported the Burn Coral plan especially considering the PCA on Rubicon was taking orders from a supercomputer on Rubicon itself rather than their off world HQ. So they don't really have shared goals. PCA is like "there's a bomb here don't touch" and overseer is like "that bomb is building in power and will eventually go off destroying the universe so we have to blow it up now and destroy just the planet it's on instead" and PCA is like "what that's crazy! No way!"It's not entirely clear what Branch's goal was, but they helped the corps get back on Rubicon. The Jihadists just wanted PCA and Corps out so they could huff coral and worship it. Most of them didn't even know the truth about coral and thought the Fires of Ibis was just the fault of Institute greed and mismanagement of coral rather than a last ditch attempt to stop coral collapse from destroying everything, everywhere. Only Dolmayan really understood and that's why he was disillusioned.So no they don't really have the same goals.
>>683713954>Boring simon says slopElden Ring clears it no diff
>>683700134SAARRRRRRR
>>683718696its space magic i aint gotta explain shit
>>683718696because overseer was wrong and retardedfromsoft went an extra step trying to make people understand the fire ending was the bad one but people are retarded
>>683716840PCA want to restrict the coral but also use and deploy it for their own purposes, hence having a cweapon like wormWalter wants to destroy it and believes that just restricting it is futile as it will always break out of control
>>683718619>that's known to spread absolutely everywhereWrong. It gathers in specific locations, either because there's already a large mass of it or because it's in the middle of travel towards a larger mass of it. That's part of the reason the Vacsular Plant and the other refineries are so important. >can be relatively easily ignited by a small amount of peopleThe literal only two times it's ever been detonated on a planet-destroying scale have come from individuals in charge of facilities with immense amounts of coral in one place and igniting it with extreme prejudice. The one Coral Burn we see in-mission comes from you specifically fighting through an armed force and destroying their facility. >is immensely destructiveYou're correct on this, but its destructive potential has only been seen to come from those who bring out its destructive potential. It's literally like blowing up an oil refinery with C4 and then going on a tirade about how oil is bad because it causes massive fires. The real issue more than anything is simply the scale with which these things operate, which is why I say the threat is not guaranteed.
>>6837066034th gen is trash and 5th gen runs like dogshit on emulators, just play 1 or 3 like a man
>>683718696so remember how Walter shows you the funny graph that explains how Coral will spread to space and contaminate everything causing another firehe conveniently left out the part that it spread to space BECAUSE THE CORPS PUMPED IT UP THERE THROUGH THE TOWER
>>683700134Bought it last summer sale and it was pretty goodFun gameplay and characters and a lot of unique voice acting depending on the situationNice that a From game finally supported ultrawide and 120 fps too
>>683719070When the blown up oil refinery levels the entire country its located in, then yes, oil bad.
>>683719134So how do you prevent corps from pumping it up through a tower>tell them its dangerous...but is it profitable? If yes, that doesn't matter.
>>683719104AC4 and AC For Answer are the best games wtf
>>683719448Again, the question is really only in scale. Mismanaging an oil refinery that powers an entire planet will result in some ridiculous fucking destruction if it blows up then. Some terrorist could drive an oil truck into a mall and blow up hundreds of innocent civilians. Wrongdoers aren't really a metric for how good or bad something is, because if you want to kill someone, a really sharp stick will do the job. It's all about potential, for better or worse. Hence why burning the coral is effectively the only bad ending, because it's one motivated by fear instead of reason.
>>683719472maybe use an extraction method that DOESN'T involve having 10^21 kg of coral in one place at one time? The fires of raven were only possible because the tower was a fuse that led straight down to the gigantic coral mass in Institute City.
>>683719070It's explicitly shown that coral is going to reach critical mass and expand out of control, completely disregarding people purposely gathering coral as if they weren't already doing this.>The literal only two times it's ever been detonated on a planet-destroying scale have come from individuals in charge of facilities with immense amounts of coral in one place and igniting it with extreme prejudiceYes, it's happened twice, and once the coral escapes the bounds of Rubicon, it only needs to happen once.
>>683719029There's no evidence that PCA wanted to use coral for their own purposes outside of Rubicon. The C Spider and Ice Worm were both institute relics that were chilling on Rubicon that the PCA leveraged to try and keep coral contained. Using them was an opportunistic attempt to stop the activities of 621Raven who PCA wasn't able to contain by normal means. The main reason they were able to use the institute relics is because their local ops were controlled by a supercomputer that was itself an institute relic. You can interpret that the PCA and Overseer are both descended from the Institute with different takes on how coral should be dealt with. PCA wanted to sweep it under a rug and Overseer wanted to rip the rug off and light it all on fire.
>>683719789>because it's one motivated by fear instead of reasonOn the contrary, not burning the coral is driven by sentiment. Rationally there's no reason to take such a risk.
>>683700134We could've had an Armored Core DLC instead of the abomination of the erdtree.
>>683715886>if you don't want dogshit aiming you are le casual
>>683720306And have hackazaki shit up the AC dlc with consort Dolmayan?. No way
Oh boy another thread where DS2 troons try to paint every fromsoftware game after 2014 as a floplovely
>>683719448We are confident in the integrity of the Vascular Plant
>>683700419Previous games didnt have the advertizing that 6 did.Most people didnt care about From when old ac titles came outAC titles weren't hyped up like 6 was.When you factor in how big From is now, the rabid fanbase and the success of DS3 and ER. AC6 selling only 3M copies IS a failure.
>>683719836That's just speeding up a natural process though. Coral naturally seeks other coral. Unmolested it may have taken millennia for it to happen but the initial settling of Rubicon and harvesting of coral was already speeding up the process.
>>683720558>If you use a feature that is widely considered cheating in many other, better games you're a hard gaymer
I hope AC6.5 adds a mimic tear
>>683720895Mech is niche as fuck compared to fantasy which every normie swallows. It will never sell as well as From's fantasy titles.
>>683705043Some do, but most of us don't. Most of us went right back to 4A, SL, and LR. AC6 is okay, but its not as good as older titles. Our biggest complaint is the total lack of useful weapons and builds its one or two metas with very limited part selection.
>>683721283>Our biggest complaint is the total lack of useful weapons and builds its one or two metas with very limited part selection.Good, fuck pvp fags.
>>683720198>Rationally there's no reason to take such a risk.It's proven to be an information conduit, energy source, and semi-sapient conceptual organism. The creations from RRI managed to functionally operate half a century after they were abandoned entirely and wound up being threats to everything around them far after they should have been simply abandoned. There's plenty of potential in the sciences when using Coral as a conduit. That's the rationale behind keeping it.
>>683721558it is food, it is a drug, a dead people storage. Is basically japanese melange.
>>683721283>Our biggest complaint is the total lack of useful weapons and builds its one or two metas with very limited part selection.>went right back to 4ANo Armored Core in history has had less useful weapons and builds than 4A. The singular two builds that you will ever see in PvP are the same max-thrust Rifle/MG bipeds or DUSKAROR leg skaters, or bladers. 6 has far more variety and viability. At least 4 had real energy management which permitted a good amount of build options, FA is filed down to a nub.
>>683720895>Previous games didnt have the advertizing that 6 did.Fun fact, From Software had three (3) fucking LAUNCH titles for the PS2.
Deal with it. Ameritard and Eurotrash opinions will be discarded.
>>683721665Coral does a lot. That's why I can see its maintenance as a thing with conceptually infinite possibilities, and its destruction as a fear response with no value other than validating those fears.
>>683701657Armored core 6.5 that has. anew story
>>683721558None of that matters because it's also an existential threat that will kill everyone because someone had a really bad day.
>>683721283Not only you aren't japanese, but you've never played an AC before 6 if you think this one doesn't have variety.
>>683720953>Unmolested it may have taken millennia for it to happen but the initial settling of Rubicon and harvesting of coral was already speeding up the process.Events like the fires are pretty clearly NOT regular occurrences on Rubicon. I don't recall anything from the game suggesting evidence of coral disasters prior to the fires of Ibis. If the planet wiped itself clean down to bedrock every few years that would have been noticed by the Institute. And given the time it would take for something like Coral to come about naturally, I think it's safe to say that undisturbed it is stable.
If that were the case, the true ending cutscene would have exploded halfway through. But it didn't.Seems pretty stable to me.
>>683721558>and wound up being threats to everything around themcoral at a bare minimum would be used to make warfare even more violent, anything else is just hope 'n cope. Look at the nuclear optimism of the early 20th century, how much of that panned out? Where's our nuclear utopia?Again, the only reason to spare the coral is emotional sentimentality.
>>683721834Maybe I'm misremembering but wasn't coral in an inactive state before humans got there?
>>683721689Has anyone tried to mod these games? I'd love to play rebalanced 4th gen.I was surprised to see how many mods emulated DeS has.
>>683703060>>683715886>they didn't play the game
>>683714120>had the director of AC3>had metal gears artistLegit how the fuck did Square fuck of having a literal power duo for a mecha game?
>>683721834The fires were done specifically because the coral was on track to reach singularity point which would have done an uncontrolled version of the coral release ending and spread it all throughout the galaxy. I think the reason it never did it before was because it was contained under the crust of rubicon. Coral is expands and self replicates to fill whatever container it's in, which is why it goes haywire in a vaccum. The initial exploitation of coral let the genie out of the bottle, so from then on it was an inevitability, eventually coral would completely replace the vacuum of space and would be incompatible with non coral life.
>>683717443i mean i get it i felt bad for pirating it because i enjoyed it very much but alas that is my fate as a poorfag
>>683722072We must lull the coral back to sleepSo Rubicon might be mended
>>683722263>SquareThat's how
>>683720895No amount of hype is going to fix the fact that the majority of the west just really hates mecha, doesn't matter who makes it. Activision could make mecha CoD and it would sell like shit.
>>683720191>There's no evidencethat's not good enough for walter, who sees destroying it as his life's workand frankly terminally naive, sure the next step of a political entity monopolising a powerful but dangerous weapon is totally to disuse it and its miracle power source, especially after they already tried to use it
>>683700746I hope they do a Muv-Luv crossover
>>683722281The only evidence for the singularity point is the word of:>the loony institute guy that ignited the fires of Ibis>Walter who wants to ignite the fires of RavenAnd remember that it's OVERSEER that tells you directly about it, the group known to be paranoid and wrong and retarded on multiple occasions. The only evidence of it is projections. Now of course there is a big amount of "better safe than sorry" but still.
I'm fuckin' mc'lovin the game.At first I thought it was just about spamming the attack buttons and strafing, which was fun on it's own until I realized that the auto-lock doesn't auto-magically mean things will hit when I kept running out of Ammo for the drone bossfight. Then I started timing my shots and tried maneuvering myself to effective ranges for missiles and the like. Then I started tweaking with different frames. Quads are kind of fun, especially when you trick them out with a bazoka and realize that It can be used as a close-combat weapon, but I still prefer the faster frames because of the maneuverability.Altogether I have to say DON'T FORGET HOLE IN THE WALL, I'M STANDING DESPITE IT ALL. DAY AFTER DAY I SEE THE FIRES FALL AWAY!!!
>>683720558I can't believe zoomers have been conditioned to think that having to aim in a shooter is bad.
God I hate how mainstream AC is nowyou faggots are insufferable
>>683723186Armored Core is a hack n slash though
>>683722776What are you talking about? The singularity literally happens in the AllMind route, but it's done in a controlled fashion so as not to cause the expected catastrophe. It's also unknown what the ultimate ramifications of the coral release are, considering the zombie ACs and all.
>>683701657Have it be a separate side story that takes place on Earth, they never had a Great Destruction so it'd be cool to see a futuristic earth in AC.
>>683723186nigger alot of the older titles don't exactly have smooth controls compared to 6 and even there manual aiming is a joke because the enemies just auto dodge you
>>683723227It's part of the lifecycle of commercial success and how deeply video games have permeated mainstream culture. Trust the process.
crabs please go

What's it like being an AC "purist" knowing that the rest of your life is going to be filled with impotent raging at the franchise as it becomes successful in a way it never could beforeJust curious
>remove hardlock (or make it more easily broken)>go back to old AC stagger>buff all effective ranges + projectile speeds by like 2x>remove repair kits, buff AP>remove mid mission ammo checkpoints>add some fucking relevant non boss enemies>add turn speed + quick turn>make some enemy ACs that aren't complete pushoversThere AC6 is a pretty much 10/10.
