Armored Core 6 is at 50% off right now. With that being said, what did Armored Core 6 did right that other Mecha game fail to do?
>>729058341Isn't this game only like 6hr long?
sell
>>729058389Its 20, longer if you get stuck on some parts
>>729058341Is the weapon situation still the same, where some are just better than everything else like that one shotgun?
>>729058389I got 40 hours getting all 3 endings, but no S ranking each mission. That requires way more time.
>>729058341The Mechs feel mechanical, but not overly so. They're fluid enough, but not Gundam levels of agile. The soundtrack is pretty good, them letting you re sell weapons for their full value so you can experiment is great, not being jews about colors like Space Marine 2, custom emblem creation. Great replay value, great story. 8.5/10.
>>729058471That's doable for the price. I liked AC1 and 2 but not to the point of replaying after completion.
>>729058341MWO > any other mech game
>>729058668MWO isn't a mech game, it's tall warthunder.
>>729058710that's fair
>>729058341wow insane OP lol i've been stuck on this mission/boss on mission replay today, i keep getting A rank. im going quaddie so i can just hover over top of him and rain down but man, i guess there's a more optimized build somehow cause i cannot get S. i do love that going for S means the game just heaps money in your lap though.
>>729058341have a budget and marketing
>>729058805one annoying thing about 6 is that missions weigh things differently for an S rank. for example, rushing past enemies for a better time is sometimes good and sometimes bad because completion time and enemies killed swap in importance. i believe skipping the supply sherpa also helps. whats your build?
>>729058805S ranking missions for me meant melee and high damage energy weapons. i'm pretty sure i just one shot that boss with dual fasans and a laser blade

>>729058389No?
>>729058341>what did Armored Core 6 did right that other Mecha game fail to doBeing pure male fantasy.
>>729058389main story is like 16 hours long, 24 if you do all the routes. I really did not want mechs to turn into sekiro.
>>729058341i just couldn't get into this one as much as some did. i think the fact that ac6 didn't feel as "mech" as the old games did has something to do with it
Post your AC
It's shit just like all Fromslop.

How playable is it on a base ps4?
>>729058341It feels great to play.
>>729061361That just pointing out your C drive is full
>>729062005I have it on a PS4 slim and it's completely playable. Perfectly optimized. Had no problems. Given that the slim is slightly weaker than a regular PS4, you should have no problems.
>>729058341What other mecha games? There's none like this except for Dolls Nest, and that one is a bit janky but charming because it's indie.
>>729062218Break Arts III it's more of a racing game though
>>729058341cheesy anime-tier melodramaim not even kidding, this game wouldnt feel complete without iti played mechwarrior 5 clans and was bored to tears with it
>>729062218You're so young, I don't even know what to say to you
>>729061408It's not much but it gets the job done.
>>729058389it takes around 50-70 hours to complete, most people who think it's a 20 hour game only did the first playthrough and never S ranked the game
>>729061408>Blind playthrough at launch>Name my AC "Whitefall" based on White Glint and the word "snowfall" >Eventually fight "Raven" AC who is named "Nightfall"It was kino unlike no other...

>>729062005Never had problems on my ps4 slim
>>729062365Are there even any other recent ones that play like this or Another Century Episode, or even Virtual On? None.The good ones are only on old consoles.
>>729058341Cosmetic customization. It's even better than a racing simulator like Gran Turismo 7 and that's scandalous.In AC6 you understand how the decal system works in minutes, you can easily move models around and do depth/layer manipulations with a minimal amount of key combinations, you can use negative layers to cut existing ones etc.In gay tourista 7 if you want to do complex decal work you must turn on your pc, use third party programs, send the file in the correct format and under a set weight to gay tourismo website and login to that crap etc etc etc. what the fuckAC6 you can do anything easily INSIDE the game, and offline too. Fucking niggers.
>>729061543>wide, mechbearing hips

don't want to make a new thread.We're getting an indy speedy mech game next year.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3392040/OMEGA_PHENEX_COMMENCED_PROJECT_SIX/
>>729070970It looks cool, like it's definitely one of the more polished ones, but I'm already tired of every indie being either ACFA or mechwarrior. It's like a toggle, there's only two settings. Do you want to control like a golf cart or do you want to zoom around in the air forever at mach 10? Well you better like one because it's all anyone ever makes.
>>729058341>what did Armored Core 6 did right that other Mecha game fail to do?EverythingIt has movement & inertiaDifferent parts that change notably how you fightChoice-based storyline that let you see all aspect of the settingIt does have its flaws but it's not like there's any other mecha game doing better.>>729058389I'm 116 hours in and I never touched multiplayer even onceI admit spending lot of time changing mecha parts
>>729058341It captures the weight of being in a mecha anime. The way the verniers come on for movement adjustments, the satisfying pop of downing an MT with a beam shot, the weighty feeling of melee attacks, the exact tone and content of the pilot barks. It is more of a Gundam game than has ever been made (Although the plot is actually Eureka Seven, but we'll forgo that)
>>729070198You reminded of M.A.S.S Builder you can pretty much make anything in that but they fucked up and decided to make the actual game complete dogshit, could have been super good
Amored Core Mobile 3 is getting a port for Nintendo Switch e PC
>>729073731and*
>>729058389I had 25 hours after completing the game 3 times. Did all the side content and lost interest after that.
It has no business being this good, honestly, I thought we lost fromsoft to soulshit forever then they go and produce this kind of kino?I still hate fromdrones more than ever though, and I hope they're cursed getting nothing but MP only slop soulshit forever. AC6 sold well but considering From's recognition these days, it should have done a lot better. But, because the game doesn't feature a generic ass knight rolling like an autistic retard through shonen anime attacks in a lame and time wasting open world, AC6 is not worth playing to them? Genuinely they should die.Kill all fromdrones (aka trannies)
>>729073731https://store.steampowered.com/app/4192760/GMODE_ARMORED_CORE_MOBILE_3/
>>729070198I wish they would bring ACVI customization over to their Souls gamesmaybe not the decals but the color schemes to fix their armors not matching would be great
>>729070198this so much
I wish it had native coop instead of a mod. Having to copy and paste my save file and convert it to the coop launcher is a pain.
>>729078553Code for mech?

You know what I want from AC6.5? Munition types.Souls games experimented with different arrows for their bows and now I want AC to fuck around with them.Give me give me slug ammo for grenade cannons to kinetically obliterate a motherfucker. Give me shorter range ammunition for rifles that explode on hit or at its max range. Rework the stagger system to make it so the game revolves less around it, and reintroduce that style of play with tungsten ammo that travels slower but still does solid stagger damage even on ricochet. Let us completely circumvent that system with high-speed long-range ammo. Birdshot for shotguns. Birdshot for Grenade Cannons.Materials for frame parts would be harder to display ingame, but I would still fuck with additional modularity of making the heaviest fucking tank even more unwieldy and immobile.
>>729078614Uploaded just for you :)D7YTV53L23ZS - Leaper9UMY2N6ZZ597 - Bisonte
>>729079021Thanks anon it gives off sega rally vibes I like it.
>>729073731>I want a new AC for PC
I think it'd help with variety if the next game either made staggering enemies much harder, or made staggering something you can only do with specific weapons.
>>729079085Cheers hey, I did base it off of this car by Bao T. Nguyen(graphix designer), so I can't take full credit, and the Bisonte is based on the car of the same name in RidgeRacer, but just having the freedom to remake all those logos in the editor . . . subarashi. . .
>>729079381Damn wish you were around when the game released would have been really cool to see your designs postedGood stuff
>>729058341The robots control like dark souls characters
>>729079520Do dark souls characters fly now suddenly? Do they have boosters as well?
Did this do well? Can we potentially get a sequel or is the series shelved for another 15 years?
>>729079596Yeah with the right equipment they can do anime flips and feel just as weightless as giant robots in this game
>>729079504I've been around, and I'll be around when we get a new game too, keep a look out for me
>>729079520AC predates souls and Dark Souls got its jank from the older AC games.
>>729079683>Did this do well?Yes>Can we potentially get a sequel Be patient
>>729079683Yeah it did well and not until they do an expansion for 6 will we get 7 anytime soon
>>729079765Good to know fellow garagechadLook forward to swapping designs with you
>>729058389Maybe if you just do the most basic of shit and none of the side quests
>>729058341I know what it did WRONG: ship with EAC.Would've bought it in a heartbeat otherwise.But I'm not going to infest my system with Epic's cancerous kernel modules.And I'm not going to faff about trying to subvert it and risk the pristine state of my Steam account being flagged if at some point they change the recipe and prior workarounds are bypassed to normal function, and report it as an attempt at cheating.EAC should've been 100% optional to install via a separate installed and clearly labeled multiplayer only executable. That didn't happen. So Bamco is not getting my business. Simple as.
>>729058341Is it better than Dark Souls
Is the combat in this fun? I enjoyed Sekiro combat a lot and Bloodborne combat was solid, but I find Dark Souls combat very boring.
either you go tank or chicken legs. Why would you want to hover in place or use vanilla lesg?
>>729080702It feels great
>>729080414It's no surprise that any modern game is better than a 2011 game.
>>729080702Its legit fun and addictive, especially when you have all the upgrades.
>>729080804False, Dark Souls is better than 90% of modern games
>>729070198true
>>729081680FLAVORTOWN
>>729070198The quality of the decals made by putting dozens on random pieces together still amazes me to this day
>>729058341It was made by fromsoft. That is basically it. If ubisoft or ea made this game it would have been shat on. Simple as
>>729081875>coca-coralkek nice one
>>729081996I don't think there'd be anything more shocking than ubisoft making a good mecha action game with no open world or microtransactions or like, fucking NFTs or whatever. Maybe if they announced they were all going to become full-time baby lifestyle dudes. That's all I'd be more surprised by.

>>729085314Could be worse. They could be porting them, but with the worst monkeys paw remaster team that rupees can buy.
hell yeah brothercan't wait to play this masterpiece
I got light filtered by Ayre because I wasn't good at dodging shit but I should get back to it soon. It doesn't help that for some reason the energy bar doesn't actually move for me anymore for some reason so sometimes I lose the feel for how much everything uses.
>>729078978Thats just ACV
>>729080507You need teammate to form the Black Tri-Stars
>>729086131Engines start recharging at different rates depending on if you simply expend energy or redline your energy. For example, Coral engines want to be fully spent because they fully recharge from redlining and fairly quickly, while they naturally regen slowly.
>>729084023>using expansion CHEATMe I beat the game without cheating.
>>729080507BASED
>>729085314To be fair I'd rather have them work on Armored Core 7 and improve the gameplay (by removing all multiplayer aspect unless it's PvE) than make a DLC.
gib big weapon
>>729080507Nice
>>729058341It didn't. It was boring garbage. Not a mech game at all, just Souls with guns.
>>729058341Extremely fun gameplay. AC6 combines the power and weight behind an AC from the 5th generation while reintroducing some of the speed from the fourth generation. Customization is shit compared to its predecessors but to someone coming from Souls' complete lack of customization its a big step up. Its also one of the better lores in Armored Core but imo doesnt match up to AC3-LR or to AC4-FA. As for why it was so successful, thats obvious, because FromSoftware just made one of the most praised games of the 2020s a year prior and people wanted to play their immediate next project.
>>729084023kek look at that garbage
>>729082650AC4 and ACFA unironically have one of the best OSTs I've ever listened to in a game. Complete cozy kino. AC6 doesn't even come within 1/10th of it.
>>729061408I was very proud of it and the comments it garnered.
>>729086510Didn't know that about coral engines but I'm saying there's a UI bug or something because the bar only visually is maxed out at all times.
>>729087009AC5 killed my sides.
>>729086614That's a zimmerman metaslave in B ranked PvP iircI haven't played too much of PvP and am still climbing, but I play it like once every month for a day or two because I can't trap myself in any elo hell
I wanna try a z’gok build but with pulse missiles and the snail torso
>>729058341It’s fun. The unimportant battles make the player feel like a killing machine. The truly important battles feel much more personal.Also, the sound design, the SFX. Somehow, only Armored Core VI and Sekiro actually emphasize sound effects, making them impactful and satisfying. Other copycat games never really bother with it.
>>729058389lol no. you’d have to follow a guide to finish it in just six hours. realistically, it’s at least ten hours for people who only do the bare minimum and that’s usually NPCs who don’t play single player games for enjoyment but just to check them off a list. vidya enthusiasts who want to unlock all weapons and parts and see every ending will easily spend 40+ hours
>>729087412AC5 seems like a good game but to this day the only game I've ever dropped because of the graphics being so bad. It's so grungy and dark at the expense of actually identifying anything and scan mode makes it even darker and less legible. No matter how much I want to try the Overed Weapons the visuals are just un-fucking-bearable even on an emulator ten years after when I first tried it. Are there some hidden emulator tricks I can do to make it more legible or is it always going to be hot unidentifiable garbage?
>>729086831The hell is this
>>729072321
>>729058341>Be oldfag of AC>Try this game>Beat the first mission and helicopter boss>Go to garage>No good garage music>look at stats>Basic as fuck stat list>Not a fan of hard lock on and the posture shit from SekiroIts ok. 7/10 Better than 5
>>729058341My only issues with this game are the overeliance on stagger and the hardlock. And most of those gripes come from some bosses being too overtuned to reasonably beat otherwise. I have no clue how one is supposed to beat the true final boss without abusing stagger and then double stun needling for a third of their health or something. And the rest of them aren’t that bad but still seem to take almost no actual damage unless staggered.
>>729091346Stagger mechanics just make every fight feel exactly the same with the same rhythm. Its lazy.
>>729090928It has some really good garage tunes, but they change based on story chapter.I stopped after Balteus on my 4th playthrough so I can keep this as my garage tune.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWksqXzkvbk>>729061408Current ranked build
>>729092071I wouldn’t say they’re all exactly the same but it does feel like you shouldn’t bother doing damage for damage same since it’s so pidly. If you wail on a boss and don’t end up with a stagger, or worse, use all your shit to stagger them and don’t have a followup then it’s practically wasted.
I wish we got pca parts
>>729084468the mobile games fascinate me so I'm looking forward to it, hope they port mobile 4, that one just straight up looks like a lost ps2 AC
>>729084023>le positioning adds so much le depth >game is all about missile boats or ac with tracking sensors tuned for low distance fights ( and long distance is non existent ), and all the lockbox management and advanced movement tech is gone to facilitate the transition to the elden ring normienigger playerbase I love ac6 but I'll never ever ever ever buy your narrative you fucking faggot, and pvp uber sucks
>>729091346The first phase is the most annoying phase. It's the most "instantly kill or send to 50% AP or reset" boss besides Ibis. The rest of the fight is fine and even good, it's just preceded by dogshit with adds. Why don't the adds stay around after you kill the main guy? Because it would be bullshit to have 7 enemies in Phase 2? If that would be bullshit why did you add them? And it would be fixed so much by just multiplying HP by 3 and removing heals.
>>729094962My gripe is that people want V and VD ported since its hard to emulate and it would sell more copies than mobiles
>>729058341You know how you always wanted to assault a giant walking weapons platform single-handedly, while the crew inside scream on the comms that its only one AC? And how you always wanted to fly into an armada of space cruisers and cur them all down?
>>729095393please take at least ten seconds to consider how you avoid waterfowl in ERand then consider what the fastest non-AB speed in AC6 actually is and how that helps avoid missiles and juke FCS systemsif you guessed anything other than gravity being the fastest method of movement in the game and you can't see how vertical movement, particularly in one way, adds depth to a game where you dodge tracking projectiles then holy shit, wedge a spoon's edge between your molars and fucking bite down.AC6 is different from most armored cores of course, nobody's saying they aren't cowards for designing the entire game around hardlock. But as it is, it's cooler than Elden Ring. Elden Ring combat is fucking boring. All Souls game combat is fucking boring. Always has been. AC6 is better than Elden Ring because the movement is so much better than pressing circle to dodge or sprint away and you gotta be licking the world trade center clean on the daily if you disagree.
>>729058341Nothing actually. Armored Core 6 is so basic bitch that if you told me it was a playstation 2 game modded with an unrealslop wrapper like the oblivion remaster I'd believe you. I don't hate it but I kinda do and regret buying it at full price. Its a $20 game at most.
>>729097332Too bad the online sucks and you're forced to play two modes. The mechas felt stupid to play and anime. I wanted something more grounded like Mech Warrior.
>>729097147I think any of Playstation Armored Core games would sell more than a mobile game; hopefully it portends a future where we get actual AC games ported to steam but knowing how fucky Japanese developers are with their old games I'm not holding out much hope.
>>729094908
>>729097332>wall of copeI know most people saying "not reading all that" lie to adopt a posture but I'm not reading all that. I just don't want to produce the time needed to read someone's text defending eating shit. Nor do I want to argue a case where the defendant is balancing semantics about eating shit. I won't. I'd rather complete more of those idiotic captchas.
>>729094908I wish we could just play as these characters in some kind of infinite defense mode where you have to protect a location. Try and get the high score with X character's ride.
>>729094908>6'0" vs 5'11"
>>729097893This webm is why AC6 is better than Elden Ring.Simple, intuitive. No iframes. No input reading. No busted tracking. There's dozens of ways to dodge this attack, and I chose this one.It could have been better. It could have been even worse. But it feels good.
>>729097332staggerslop is not "better" than anything
>>729097332wee, so I read it out of curiosity and your counter is to state that due to ac6 allowing you to go up and down, and that considering how such an addition is making it slightly better than elden bore, I turn out to be the one misjudging the mound of shit that ac6 pvp gameplay is. How about you play the old games to see what was lost nigger? AC6 is to the franchise what american "races" on big round tracks is to automobile sport. My GOD.It looks cool, customization is great, story mode is stellar, but fuck off with the can of worms yamamura sold us by debasing the gameplay for soultards and fighting game tards.
>>729098352>interjecting a reply chain comparing ac6 to elden ring>"staggerslop is not better than anything">>729098516ah sorryhere's your peak gameplay
>>729098340>No input reading. No busted tracking.
>>729098340>MOM LOOK I CAN GO UP OR DOWNmeanwhile I was shitting bricks in og AC trying to keep motherfuckers center screen while repositioning myself to mitigate slow turns, and doing that as I keep managing power levels and way less lenient ammo reserves
>>729087036
>>729058565Yeah the balance is dogshit the shoulder sting cannons are dramatically overpowered and so are a handful of normal weaponsMeanwhile stuff like the shotgun pistol are entirely useless even in PvE
>>729058389I got at least 120+ hours of pure unadulterated fun with this game.
>>729090928Did you look at advanced stats? There’s a ton in there. Though maybe even that is baby compared to old AC.
>>729094908I was a bit let down by Heavy Cavalry and Light Cavalry. The game didn't play to their strengths as mass produced units by throwing a whole flock of them at you at the same time. Nor did it show why they were supposedly built with newer and better technology than ACs, they felt like bootleg AC with less weapons slots.
>>729098995>circle strafing: >:|>circle strafing, shitty pre-analog psx controls: :O
>>729098995I don't get why you're bringing up oldgen AC when the whole topic was comparing it to Elden Ring where emotes have more viable dodging potential than jumps or ducksLike I wish AC6 had box FCS and no hardlock and good midrange and bosses designed for that combat system instead, but what is here is at least better than Elden Ring. I could talk about why I find the PvP fun and how a lot of it is manipulating people's dodges to line up a shot that they can't evade and knowing the downtime of their weapons to weave in from outside of their comfort range to attack unopposed and shit but you're all about bhops like the game with a big box of autoaim is to be mentioned in the same breath as Quake. It's not all that, bro.
