I haven’t played an armor core game since 3. I don’t trust journalist or Youtube shills so I came here to ask you bros if this is any good.
it's good
It's so good that it mentally buck broke a faggot on this board so hard he spams the same gif over and over.
You're in for a real treat.
>chink garbageNo.
>>722653578Huh?
>>722653640>chink garbageIsn’t this a Japanese series?
>>722653496Just pirate it and buy the game if you like it. As everyone should with every single player game they play.
>>722653560>>722653578>>722653587Awesome. I just picked up a brand new copy for $15. It should be here by Thursday so I’m looking forward to playing. I just want to be an unstoppable tank with bazookas.
>>722653685There's a singular anon on this board who spams the same pre-release unfinished turning gif of the character's AC, crying about how AC6 ruined the franchise because it doesn't have muh heckin turn speed. If you bring up AC4 and FA effectively removed turn speed via outmoded mechanical redundancy (every AC had quick turn built in), he trips over himself trying to explain why that's totally different and it wasn't because those games came out when he was 15.
It was my GOTY by miles and probably my favorite Fromsoft game. Make sure you continue after NG+ and NG++, just trust me.
>>722654081What a faggot lol. I hope he comes to this thread so I can get a laugh.>>722654171Good to hear. Anything special about ng+ other than the obvious?
>>722653496as someone who typically dislikes mech games AC6 is the best one to date
>>722654306>Anything special about ng+ other than the obvious?More partsNew missionsNew endings
>>722654358Mech games are incredibly based. I spent a stupid amount of time on mechwarrior 2, armored core 3 and steel battalion. Why do you dislike them?
>>722654395Good enough for me thanks.
I like from games because of the maps and exploration. So this game really sucks for me. Just my opinion.
>>722654463>Why do you dislike them?the control+movement generally sucks
>>722653496Literally the first and only mech game I played. I fucking loved it.Made mine look like Megas XLR.
Probably the best boxart for a game in the last 10 years
The only reason I stopped playing is because I've done literally everything, and I'm praying for an expansion announcement soon.
>>722653496it's good but it could be better, stagger and effective range are shit mechanics but the story wanks the player off hard so i guess it balances out?
>>722653496It's great but it shoots itself in foot and wastes its own potential by pandering to braindead soulsbabies like >>722654081It's clearly an unfinished clusterfuck in a design sense, but all the shit choices can be overlooked as long as you stay the fuck away from PvP.I hope they don't bother with an expansion and just make a real AC instead of AC-Lite.
>no turnrate, hardlock and le epic sekiro orange bar stun bar gameplay that every patch has been backpedaling to try and rectify against (it was a mistake to even feature it)thanks yamamura
>>722653496it's very good, it made me buy the model kits
>>722653496It's great. It was the best game of that year.So much kino moments.
Post your builds. I’m fucking hyped to played now.
>>722654805t. got destroyed by double Zimmermans in online
>>722655160I made a double pistol James Bond cosplay build for my second playthrough, and upgraded it later into laser pistols. Incredibly fun imo.
>>722655208That sounds sweet. Got any screenshots of it?
>>722654081Oh hey, there he is >>722654813
>>722655237No sorry
>>722653496Yes it's genuinely the best game From has madeAlso I recommend emulating 4 and 4A

>>722655267kek figured that was him
>>722654306NG++ has a completely new story, and NG+ gives new missions for the Liberation Front
>>722655160This dude looks cool
>following online guides for meta builds doesn’t that ruin half the fun of a mech game?
>>722655163zimzams aren't hot right now, shields have been meta for around a year now
>>722654805>>722654813Look at him go!
Fuck this thread I'm replaying it for the fourth time.
>>722655163Zims weren't even the most pozzed shit in PvP during their meta days.
>>722653496Needs a steeper discount next time
>>722653578This.If /v/ hates it for no reason you know it's good.
>>722656256The game is worth it even full price if we're being honest. The only people who disliked the game are those who got buckbroken by Balteus.
>>722653496It's very good, paint your robot and fire gun.
>>722653496It’s the only AC game I’ve played, but i thoroughly enjoyed it; all endings. It’s so well written/voice acted that despite never seeing any characters they felt more “real” than via movie game cutscenesThe mech combat was okay too.
>>722656370Good to know. I'll wait until it falls closer to $30 like sekiro.
>>722653496flawed but fun. hope they're gonna make an expansion someday.
>>722656370I remember taking ages to beat him the first playthrough but I guess that struggle made me so much better at the game the rest of the game was a breeze. Only died at most once to any other boss including Balteus on later playthroughs. Felt really good and I could really feel myself getting better the more I died.
>>722656579Doubt we get an expansion. We’re going on 2 and a half years since release.
>>722656616That’s how ds3 was for me (Iudex nearly broke me, was my first soulslike game) but putting gatekeeping bosses early on is the correct approach imo; better to get you up to speed early on, vs ramping up the difficulty or throwing a curveball halfway through the game.
>>722656783Armored Core 6 is much bigger in scope than all the previous games which were made in a year and got an expansion within a year. If we're getting an expansion, the TGAs would be the place for the announcement.
>>722657138>the the game awards
>>722657338>Um *snort* ackchually, ATM machine is redundant
>>722653496It's ok but disappointing. Only played on release so I don't know how it looks like now.The story, graphics, characters, levels and missions are all probably the best in the series but mech customization and testing is still unnecessarily tedious despite having also been very simplified in general (fewer parts and stats).In terms of gameplay I can understand that they made some decisions to make it playable with a mouse but overall I think it's a downgrade all around. Ricochet makes ranged weapons useless. Stagger bar also severely limits viable builds. Infinite turning speed and hard auto-aim make spatial positioning useless when being kind of a twist on dogfights is the main thing I liked about the gameplay. The instantaneous estus repair button feels superfluous. The way energy regeneration works also limits your mobility too much. The game is overall too easy outside of some boss fights. I also preferred the way the old boost/jump/fly button worked.
>>722653496It's a good action mech game. It lacks the variety and some of the tactical aspects I think, it's rare that you have to think too much about the specific situation versus just zipping around attacking targets, so it loses a little AC identity imo.
>>722658494>In terms of gameplay I can understand that they made some decisions to make it playable with a mouseThere is zero gameplay changes compared to oldgen that make it better playable with mouse.
>>722654741I'd rather get AC7.I liked AC6, but I'm tired of From expansions. Shadow of the Erdtree and all the other souls dlcs never really did anything for me.
>>722659983Nah, you will get AC 6.5.
>>722653787Its the best action game of the decade and the only issue is there's not enough part diversity. DLC when?
>>722655160ive played through the whole game using light/mid build with double rail for damage and uzis to pop shields/stancetried double shotgun but enemies just dodge that every time
>>722661434I will nut if the AC6 expansion is not only 100+ parts, but it's new missions for the existing story with multiple new endings.
What gen had best part design?
>>722653496older AC games are better
AC6 is AC1 remake.
>>722653496it's goodthat being said if you trust anything /v/ says you are a retard
>>722654358I bet it's because you like the shitty free camera. These games used to have (and should keep) the fixed camera. What a mistake. The free camera also frequently fucks inputs if you move then do a new input too quickly.

>>722666197>songbirdYou didn't beat the game
>>722653496Best single player of the franchise, great gameplay and the weighty animations are fucking cool. Worst multiplayer ever because hard lock fucks up the whole balance of the game and it invalidates builds and gameplay. Just pirate it and play softlock (old AC style).
has there been any big changes since launch?
Too many kino moments makes this a bonafide 10/10>I won't miss>Undo the surgery>I see you made a friend>Hey buddy>Snail
>>722663985God tier: Gen5Meh tier: Mirage, ArquebussyShit piss and vomit tier: Algebra, Rubicon Research InstituteThe rest are decent to great depending on how many obtuse angles and exposed heatsinks they have.Also Gen 1/2 quad legs look better than Gen3 onward.
>>722653496Most of the hate comes from the fact that every Armored core game is different enough that it pisses people off.It's an entire franchise of "Step forward in this way, step back in this other way".For AC VI hate, it's because the older armored core games had different targeting systems which were a flat holographic projection in front of the unit. Anything that flew into that "space" was auto targetted as long as you kept them within the confines of the shape. It was completely customizable.In AC 6 they ported over a Soulslike hard lock that keeps your camera fix, then added extremely fast enemies. Hard locking reduces your weapon tracking by like 25% but because enemies were designed to move quick enough you'll get punished for trying to play like older AC games and ignoring it.This bled into pvp, where people feel that hard locking takes the skill out of it while also severely punishing light builds.Basically, it's an entire franchise of picking your poison, liking some mechanics and hating others, wishing From Software had the ability to just make a game with every good mechanic featured in the series.
>>722653496>I don’t trust journalist or Youtube shills>so I came here
>>722655160Here's my bootleg Crest Build
>>722653496Its kino
>>722668367Gen 3 having quads go from a caterpillar more mobile tank to just 4 legs that all move on their own was a disappointment, I loved quads in gen 1 and 2 but gen 3 they felt super weak
>>722670023They dropped the ball hard on "Raven."
>>722653496It’s very good. It was my favorite new release that came out that year.
>>722655160Dual Pistolas or ShotgunsStun dildo, missiles
>>722669353True. It's understandable that people don't like change. But I much prefer the way AC6 feels and plays
>>722653496its my 2023 goaty
>>722655160It’s a fantastic game. Yamamura is the guy I trust to continue to direct good games at From.My two favorite builds were one with chicken legs, dual shotguns and a bunch of missiles, and a lightweight biped with double pistols, the biggest shoulder-mounted rocket launcher on my right shoulder and a pilebunker on my left.
>>722670023i need a third raven fight, ass naked, all coraled up
>>722670346Don't get why they were scared to give enemy ACs like 3x more HP. Sure, it would have very much been a case of "that guy when you fight him/that guy when you hire him" syndrome, but I wouldn't have cared. The finale of the Liberator ending would have been even better had the final boss not been made of paper.
>>722653496I got filtered by the invisible sniper enemies early on. Any suggestions for that part?
>>722656340This advice has never steered me wrong. The more shrill the habitual threadshitter, the better the game. No exceptions.
>>722653496Its kinda like ace combat 7 but very shortIt deserves a expansion and i hope they make more of these games instead of shitting out soulshit
>>722670931>3x more HPTo make it a fair fight. The problem is that he only shows up once, and his build is dog shit.
I often rewatch the story and reveal trailers because of how great they were for this game
This game was such a treat. It felt like the first time in a long time that I was playing a “real” video game from a major publisher.Just a complete package that’s fun to play. Sad that’s such a rarity from AAA studios now.
>>722654081>pre-release unfinishedYou can do that same thing in the game now in release.AC4 and FA did not remove turn speed effectively, if you think it's redundant in those games you don't know what you're talking about, it's a constant aspect of the gameplay environment, quick turning adds a new dynamic by allowing for variable 90 degree angle shifts at any time but it doesn't remove the inherent aspect of turn speed which is at the core of how matchups play out between players when positioning to an advantageous angle. It's one of the main reasons why Heavy vs Lightweight or Lightweight vs Tank are so distinct in their combat style is because of turn speed, LW's can maneuver faster and more effectively and create angles outside an opponents lock width while the heavier opponent is relying on the ability to carry heavier/more weapons as well as having more defense and AP at the expense of that maneuverability due to Weight.
>>722653496It's a good game but I would check out the other AC games too if you want the same experience with more depth.
>>722653496I didn't care for it because I don't like that the ability to be tanky was gutted because they introduced robot estus, but a lot of other people like it so I guess that's a personal taste thing.
>>722665495Retard
>>722663985I loved 4th gen’s aerofoil-like designs. Aaliyah my beloved…
>Fromslop trannyslopSave your money for a better game instead.
>>722671539>You can do that same thing in the game now in release.No, you fucking can't. I've tried replicating it, the game has a turn step animation. You cannot float turn on the spot, the pre-release is missing the animation, which is what >>722654813 keeps spamming because it's the only ammo he has.
>>722655160double laser pistol-slinger remains fun for a surprisingly long time
>>722671767I'm more so talking about the ability to rotate your character in ACVI independently of the camera like it is in Souls
>>722655160Siege missile, six-cell, explosive thrower, pulse blade on fast san-tai MW. Kiting at midrange, boinking them with explosive thrower and finishing them off with the blade is very satisfying. I have enough EN and speed to either rushdown or rat as needed.
>>722671893Right, but that gif that gets spammed is about the lack of a turn animation, not the AC being disconnected from the character.

>>722671767>souls tourist thinks it's about animationsAnd then you niggers are going to claim that it has always been a part of the series and shit on other mecha games for having proper turn speed mechanics.
>>722653787Congratulations, you have discovered the easiest way to win this game.
>>722672912you’re just an annoying faggot and no one cares about your autistic nitpick, thoughbeit. I’ve played since the original PSX games and I could give a shit about the turn speed mechanic, get over it pussy
>>722672024>missile meleeI’m on the fence as to whether this is based or extremely gay.
>>722673048>core mechanic is autistic nitpickIt is not. You are a tourish subhuman who hates mecha. Stop shitting up the discourse and kill yourself.
>>722653496It has the latest>stop that blade!moment to date. For that alone it is worth a purchase. Still waiting for the next milestone cinematic moment in gaming to appear. E33 was good but it didn't ever reach that threshold.
>>722671718>shazamtranny faggotpost
It's one of From's best.Bloodborne, Sekiro, AC6. As simple as that.
>>722672912The gif is literally about the lack of the turn animation in the pre-release, you retard. It has never once been about the fucking camera, or turn rate.If it was purely about turnrate, well then you better start burning your copies of AC2 and 3 because the fastest lightweights aren't far off from the idle turn speed in the gif.
