>Someone please, please, PLEASE care about my uncslop!kek
>>733646334Armored Core isn't slop lol
Yep, I repeatedly fail and lose all my money so the game takes pity on me.
>those fucking helis
playing through gen 1 at the moment.excited to play gen 2.probably won't play gen 3.
>>733645671I am not a particularly great player but didn’t find the game too hard outside the very last level. And even then I just had to retry it for a couple days. No need for human plus.
>>733645671Yep, it's didn't beat the game time!
>>733645671AC 1 is super easy. Karasawa obviously the best weapon, but the high damage machine gun in the shop is honestly not that fat off DPS wise.
>>733648475>NOOO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME WITH THE TERRIBLE CLAW CONTROLS OTHERWISE YOU DIDN'T BEAT ITThe rope couldn't come sooner for purist fags.
>>733645671>he isnt playing with the mousesmells like LOSER in here
>>733645671I'm not rolling without MOONLIGHT, sorry.
Been meaning to play the AC series since I watched a video about AC IV last year and it looked great. AC6 looks retarded, but think I'll play 1-5, starting from 1; over the past ~18 months I've been playing a lot of PS1 and PS2 games that I've never played before, finding some good shit. Particular ones I've liked are Shadow Tower Abyss, and Einhander (great soundtrack).
>>733649427>mebeat the game>youdidn't beat the game
>>733648292I used save states on that one. Too much bullshit platforming. Then I played "legit" with H+ and just climbed like a rocket.>>733648894Yeah. Most of the difficulty comes from shitty controls and framerate. If we had late third gen controls and performance it would be buttery smooth.
>>733650226Bro there are actually 16 games. And 6 is still good, it's definitely worth playing
>>733652828Any of those small titles worth playing? As in if you're not a die-hard fan.
>>733652903the 'small' titles are typically expansion sequels and generally better than their numbered counterpartsso, yes, I would say soformula front is a PSP title and Nine-Breaker is a glorified arena
>>733645671The nerfing of the Karasawa in later games really rustled my jimmies. Also never understood why you couldn't get/use that chest mounted MG in the cover art.
>>733653146The chest mounted gun is automatically used to intercept missiles IIRC
>>733645671for the first several armored core games I just used that high ammo machine gun until you unlock quads + shoulder mounted chain guns
>>733652903>Any of those small titles worth playing?You can skip Nine Breaker as it's mostly meant to be purely an arena style game. All the others I'd recommend you play, but the best ones are MoA, Silent Line, Nexus, and Last Raven. If you can emulate it, or have an actual 360/PS3, then add For Answer to that list as well.
>>733653146I'm more annoyed by not being able to have weapons in both arms up until AC3 (SL).
>>733653146Karasawa is way too strong in AC. It feels like cheating lol.
>>733645671>h+shitter
>>733645671>missed karasawa>didn't go human plus>went into debt a few times>scraped past multiple missions by the skin of my teeth>sick soundtrack>still had funGames were just built different back then.
>>733652903skip Ninebreaker and put a maybe on Formula FrontNinebreaker is mostly arena and training missionsFormula front is a PSP sde game that is also arena focused but you build an AI to fight for you, you'll see this again in VD with the UNAC system
>>733645671i did play this a bit and it is fun. i should play the new one
>>733653146I'm more miffed at the fact that they kept continually nerfing automatic rifles to the point where they were turned into burst fire weapons in LR.
>>733653146It's boring to have a weapon that is just better than anything else at everything. Having pros and cons makes everything more fun. I really like the current Karasawa being a variable beam rifle that can go from regular gun to mega particles cannon depending on how long you charge it.
>analog patch>Human plusWeak>>733652903A lot of people will tell you that Another Age is great. They are insane people who play PvP. Best bonus bosses in the franchise but the hundreds of missions, including multiple forced escort missions, make it a major god damn slog.>>733653146It was legit too strong, still no reason to do what they did to it in AC 3 onwards.
were we the bad guys in the ps1 games?
>>733655310Yeah but that already happened in 2. Then they kept nerfing it while never changing things like the pixy in 3 and some of the rifles in 4Even 6 has clear winners and losers in some categories. Like how 40% of the missile launchers can't hit anything and 10% have a hitrate of like 90
>>733645671>changing the controls
>>733655450Not really. AI big brother was going insane so someone had to kill them eventually. Especially since the surface was habitable for a long time
>>733655357The controls suck ass anon. Also H+ ain't cheating... The top ranking Ravens are all H+!
>>733652903they're all worth playing, though Formula Front is a weird one as you just design ACs and the AI auto-battlesLast Raven is the peak of the series
>>733645671FINGER gun is better
>>733655517Don't care + still had fun
>>733655357>A lot of people will tell you that Another Age is great. They are insane people who play PvP. Best bonus bosses in the franchise but the hundreds of missions, including multiple forced escort missions, make it a major god damn slog.I like Another Age because the backdrop for the missions are a lot better and more interesting than "orange mars landscape" or "Steel Building" that plagued 2. The only interesting looking level in 2 was Zio City. The rest of the game was so unbearably mid that I might recommend he skip 2 altogether.>>733655517Shit like this gives boomers a good reason to call gamers losers.
>>733655728based>>733655945just say "OK boomer" and watch them shit themselves
>>733645671Krazy Ivan is better.
>>733655945I liked twos characters and how the plot develops. Plus you get lines likeI....see! You're uh.
>>733656110And fluffy dice
>>733652903You shouldn't skip any except Nine Breaker and Formula Front.I did the same thing you're thinking of doing and started playing from AC1 about year or so ago, they're genuinely great games. I don't know why I missed out on them originally, I did have a PS1 back in those days.
fun fact the starter stuff with an upgraded generator will literally carry you through the entire game through the last level, it's not even bad. Small missiles are still OP
>>733655357Another Age was my favourite in the whole series, and I've never played a PVP battle.I get what you mean about it being a slog, but honestly more content and more difficult content is all I ever wanted from the series at that point. They could have added another 1000 missions of just being a corpo merc in that game and I'd still be happily chewing away at them today.
>>733656338>Small missiles are still OPHow?
>>733656148>I....see! You're uh.Yea, that one always gets a laugh out of me.
The original controls are unironically not even bad.
>>733656658i think so only because you could tank hits pretty well so getting use to them were easier. still analog mapping the camera is so much better that it breaks the ac fights
>>733656658I thought the same until the original controls gave me carpal tunnel. Those controls are evil, anon. Eeeevvviiilll!
>>733656529they kill most things in 1 or 2 hits? Damage values in AC1 are juiced, rifle is also surprisingly strong. I beat AC1 with a base AC run multiple times. The only gun you might want to change out is the rifle later into the game but early and mid game it will do the job fine.
>>733653146the chest MG is your anti-missile CIWSin later games certain chests get a laser version
>>733656839>he can't claw*laughs in 3 MH PSP and 3 3DS titles
>>733657176for me it's the shoulder mounted bazooka, has great ammo efficiency and one-shots a lot of enemies
>>733657465Sad. Why couldn't I be born a clawchad. Instead I'm force to walk this earth as a twin-stick cuck.
>>733656658I find them awful without analogs (but you can remap camera to face buttons so it isn't that bad). My main problem is the lack of analog PLUS low framerate during intense fights.
>>733645671>>Human Plus upgrades onWhat do you even need easy mode on for in AC1? The missions are so straight-forward.
>>733655450Nine Ball is literally the Demiurge of his setting.
>>733657754>PLUS low framerate during intense fightsThis is why emulation is simply the best way to play these games since it became possible.Sorry not sorry.
>>733657754>intense fightsThis shouldn't be plural because the PS1 games only have one.
>>733657820It's much cooler to play as H+. Blade waves go hard and you can fly a lot, skipping the entire cube jump section. Also it makes sense with the lore, because tons of late game Ravens are also H+.
>>733657907Even with OC it still caps at 22fps, but the menus have unlocked framerate. I wish we had a recompiled port for PC with 60fps and mouse and keyboard support.
>>733646334FPBP
This was my Armored Core
>>733646334retard
>>733658101Also the Arena on PP runs so fucking bad when the other AC starts shooting lol. Didn't know that the PS1 had PowerPoint support.
