>>733982380
I think I'm a fucking retard because I didn't expect allmind to actually be some sort of hivemind, just what is it exactly lore wise?
>>733982529An AI created to coordinate mercenary activity on Rubicon.
such a noisy imagewhat am i supposed to look at here?
>>733982692It's odd how everyone just trusts this system despite no one knowing who made it or where it came from. Similarly, the PCA were taking orders from an AI that was built by the Rubicon Research Institute and weren't questioning that either.
>>733982692>>733982975Why are both female AIs?
>>733982967>noisyShut up… I'LL SHUT YOU ALL UP!
>>733983021Girlboss syndrome
>>733983021Are you more willing to listen to a man voice or a woman voice?
>>733983021if soldiers hear a hot robo girl in their ear during missions they're more likely to come back alive
>>733983091>nukes a fucking alien being and a god tier AI into submission by seethingbased
>>733982529I don't get any of it either. I guess when someone dies she absorbs them?
why does that one merc lady sound like ayre?
>>733982529Allmind was an AI designed to assist mercenaries.But when it realized that>coral can interface with human brains>coral can interface with computers>a coral collapse will release coral all over the universe, and thus will initiate Contact with a ton of peopleit realized that, under the right circumstances, it could "possess" the Coral and through it, Possess everyone that it came into contact with.So it positioned itself to possess the coral colony but (You) stop it somehowbeit.
so does ayre "like" raven? a lot of her lines are read like some sort of girl in love that doesn't know how to vocalize it well. in that one fog mission she also tries to get you to go slower so you can spend more time together while comms are jammed.
>>733983604It's hard to tell if she genuinely likes Raven or it's a manipulation tactic to keep Raven on her side.She IS an invertebrate that lives in your brain.
>>733983461Who...?
>>733983604>>733983667She's not just an invertebrate, the meal worms that ate coral are invertebrates. She's downright incorporeal.Manipulation or not, 621 is the first human she's been able to make contact with and talk to. It's fair to say that he's her favorite human.
FUCK AYREFUCK ALLMIND
>>733982380I'm an absolute giga shitter and I still haven't beaten this. Any tips on how to just cheese this? I get to phase two and kwab myself
I have>missile launcher right hand>Pulse blade left hand>vp-60 laser cannons on both shouldersand I sometimes feel like I'm cheesing the fuck out of this. you can just wombo combo bosses if you time your shots right>l1, l2>blade (stunned)>rocket>l1 l2>blade again
>>733983930see>>733983943which is my current build which is fun I use the tank treads to go fast as fuck for ground dodging.
>>733983930Dual shotgun/gatling and shoulder mounted songbirds/stun needle.
I just shot robots in this game I didn't understand a single thing any characters did or what the story was about. I just blasted everyone
>decline a mission>Allmind starts reading off your browser/search history to you as blackmail
Absolutely kino
>when you have to fight rusty at the end of one of the story paths
>>733983461Anon-sama... I...
>>733984008Based braindead retardanon channeling lore accurate 621621 is basically a semi vegetable with autistic savant piloting ability and just does what he's told. Any choices he makes in the game are entirely arbitrary and coincidental and the other characters simply ascribe motivations to them.He just blasts everyone.
>>733984071>You flew... just out of reach...
I wish there were more redguns missions, I always had fun doing them and hearing the redguns talk over comms.even the mission where you betray them is fun because they're basically wanking you like you're a mythical god of war or something as they're fighting you.
>protect the mining ship>get there and it blows the fuck upactually cool subversion
>>733984179I would kill for a redguns routeAs it is you can kinda do an Arquebus route until you have to fight them at the end, but that sequence always goes down with you fucking over the redguns in some way.
Kino: the game
so is 621 basically autistic from getting his brain fried during augmentation? they say you like never talk
>>733984221>HOLD THE LINE>WE ARE CORAL WARRIORS-ACK!
>>733984221The bigger they are...
>>733984221>mfw
>>733984354thank god missiles make them so much easier, especially if you have the frame that can hover.
>>733983667>She IS an invertebrate that lives in your brain.She's a waveform that's chilling in the 5G chip in your brain (some of the time). >>733983604Most likely, especially in the Coral Release ending. I mean, she straight up dives in to help you fight Iguazu (Final Form (TM)) no strings attached. At the very least she actively wants to be helpful.
>ywn get to be an austic mech pilot on some foreign planet taking merc jobs for big cash while a AI girl talks to you in your headI was born in the wrong era
>>733983604Anon, the fog mission thing is a very clear indicator that she likes you and wants to have a little mini-date while the two of you are alone.>>733983667I think it's quite clear that she's genuinely into you. If Ayre was just being manipulative and stringing Raven along until he stopped being useful, there is a lot more shit she could've pulled in the Fires of Raven ending to try and stop you from blowing everything up. In fact, given that her species is being threatened with extinction, it's rather baffling just how little she gets in your way or even tells you off until the literal final fight.
>>733983767In that order or at the same time? I'm not gonna do reverse order because Ayre is the main wife so she always gets first dibs on my Laser Lance
>>733984261Doesn't Walter reference 621 having a conversation with him in-between missions during one of the briefings? I don't think he's a completely nonverbal autist, though he is definitely a man of few words.
>>733984261621 sounds off to Michigan in the briefing for the Dam raid>GUN13 SOUND OFF!>... Good enough.
>>733984586>it's rather baffling just how little she gets in your way or even tells you off until the literal final fight.She still hasn't REALLY given up on Raven even in the FoR ending. The last thing her mech does before exploding is reach out to you.
>Guess you win, Tourist...>But the Chief... NEVER LOSES!
>>733985137Chatty's a real one. I wish there was a route where he made it.
>Ayre betrays and will kill you for not going with her plan>ALLMIND uses and betrays you in her route>Walter doesn't betray you and outright tells you that it's just a job and when he trusted you enough, he wanted to pass the torch to you to finish his unfinished business with the Coral and attain closureWhat does fromsoft mean by this???
>>733983803>>733983852I couldn't give a shit about painting in anyway my LOADER 4, but those are nice pictures.
>>733985920>>Ayre betrays and will kill you for not going with her planNigga, you were gunna light her house on fire.
>>733983604Because she sees raven as her destined partner. The entire plot of AC6 is just fromsoft copying the anime Eureka Seven which had a similar premise of alien girl quite literally from the "coral" who needs to communicate with humanity and chooses to fall for a boy.
>>733985920>>Ayre betrays and will kill you for not going with her planThe only things she's against is you genociding her entire species. It's kind of relatable or even understandable for plain survival reason.Really, she was even on board with her species being slowly grinded for fuel so long as it keep them alive>>ALLMIND uses and betrays you in her routeTechnically she doesn't betrays you since she didn't tell you her real objectives was not in your best interest.>>Walter doesn't betray you and outright tells you that it's just a job and when he trusted you enough, he wanted to pass the torch to you to finish his unfinished business with the Coral and attain closureWait what? Walter may be nice to you and trustworthy but he's driven by the will to destroy the Coral no matter what. He didn't want to pass the torch, he's just forced to and it happens in a route where you blindly obey orders, even a suicidal one.
>>733984090I want to marry Kate Markson.
>>733986030There are a sizable amount of people who, for whatever reason, think Ayre was secretly manipulating 621 into enacting coral release which is obviously not what happens at all if you played the game.
>>733982529>allmind An AI of unknown origin whose prime detective is to nurture and foster the perfect killers, human AC pilots. She realizes that coral augmented humans are the best pilots, and coral release will to some degree deciminate that power to every surviving human. So it becomes her secret goal to pursue coral release >the mech / AI ACsIn cut dialogue, Allmind reveals that she’s learned that reconstructions of human brainwaves agitated in certain ways can function as processing power and fuel in the same way as coral. Her green energy mech is literally powered by pain and anger, which is why king salt Iguazu is able to overpower her control.
>>733986528More like trolls-bot trained to follow far-right "whatever xenos do is always against you".In AC6 you are basically one of the rare human Ayre can even contact because you are a Gen4 without the later upgrade that make it impossible.So as she said, it's "First Contact" with alien (for both of you at least).
>>733986847>In cut dialogueany source for that? serious
>>733986909Wrong. There's Father Dolmayen and Seria.
>>733986909>Direction-brainYou have mental issues.
>>733983667It’s genuinely not. God damn it autistics and rannifags have absolutely RUINED discussion about Ayre. She considers you a friend to her dying breath, long past that sentimentality having any sort of tactical advantage. It’s insane that people still parrot this when the examples they give literally boil down to her very nicely asking you not to genocide her entire species.
>>733986959I said one of the rare human, and (for both of you at least)Read anon, read.
>>733983021you're asking this when every other anon waifus ayre
>>733985920>ayre betrays you >for not happily going along with the eradication of her entire species What are you retarded
>>733984354funny because heliathus is significantly easier to kill than wheelskellies
>>733986992>She considers you a friend to her dying breath>friendShe's way beyond that, it tear her apart to have to fight you.At the start of the battle she's even showing off, thinking she can still convince you later. It's only as you start winning and there's a definite risk of you killing her entire species that she mentally break down and try to convince herself you are the very incarnation of the "spark of war" to resolve herself to kill you.
>>733986946https://youtu.be/ic0QEGl6q7s?si=cj-iJqMeye3P5fe1Yeah
>>733986419Of course you want to. She is a valuable ally and talented mercenary.
arctic mecha kino
>>733986959Am I out of my mind for believing Allmind is Seria? She's unusually spiteful towards Dolmayan in the mission where you kill him in route 3 and her plan of doing the coral release makes more sense for her if she's just like Ayre instead of a rogue AI.
>>733987415ALLMIND explains her distaste for Father Dolmayan and by extension the RLF in that very same mission - essentially saying that the RLF just want to exploit Coral the same as the Corporations at the end of the day. ALLMIND sees the potential of Coral, and so considers an old Doser like Dolmayan to be nothing but a fossil holding humanity (read: her) back.
I kissed him
>>733987415I’ve heard it before, and I think it’s a cool idea but I don’t personally believe it. Allminds green color is counterfeited coral resonance produced by human brainwaves. If she was Seria, why would she settle for a bootleg instead of the real thing?
>>733987415This is why you don't betray or dump your Coral GF. She will be back with vengeance.
Little Ziyi implies the existence of Big Ziyi
>>733982692Why did some random jobber end up controlling it or something
>>733987906at the point of the game in OP's pic, if you include unused dialogue as lore, there's records of various other people's minds assimilated into that mech, or whatever program that's running it under AM's control(and was being integrated to lose their sense of self). unfortunately for AM, G5's seethe became too powerful at that specific moment.

>>733987151Always wonder why they cut line like that.In a movie I can understand, because time is a resource. But in a video game, such a small line to set up with a cutscene?
Enemy led and powered by hate are hard to pull off.
>>733982529It's just a lazy hack repeat from Nineball with zero of the SOVL or story impact.
>>733982529It's an AI like Nine Ball and the controller the other baddies in the series. It wanted to use the coral to make a big hive mind where she is God.
>>733992301Allmind is top 5 characters in the game, in a game that's already stacked with kino characters

FUCK ALLMIND
>>733992619It's not like that was the first time she had ever thought about the future of coral. I'm not fine with the infinitely multiplying, mind affecting, software controlling and insanely highly flammable substance covering the entire known universe. Surely she understood that much.

>>733982380I thought Ayre was way harder than Allmind. In fact, I wouldn't say Ayre was the most difficult fight in the game by a long shot, but it was the only fight that forced me to go out of my way to make a meme build specifically designed to beat her. This actually pissed me off because I had to adapt to a new playstyle I had never tried before during the final boss.

Which kind of take priority.And the only way to do so require to keeps you from interfering since you are obediently obeying Walter & Carla plan.I wonder why you even play contrarian, surely you are not too stupid to understand that.>>733992830>I'm not fine with the infinitely multiplying, mind affecting, software controlling and insanely highly flammable substance covering the entire known universe.

>>733983157>good chuck of the AC games are alll Female VA>none of that here in AC6This always annoys the hell out of me. Yes, I know it make Ayre's doing it have more weight, but come the fuck on.
>>733992741k
>>734001430The tragic thing about coral is that it’s totally harmless on its home planet undisturbed. Even if you think burning it is the moral choice for the good of humanity, it’s undeniable that humans were the ones that created this problem to begin with. Corals an innocent bystander in its own eradication
>>733994135Id say theyre both difficult in their own ways. Against allmind, dealing with several fuckoff mechs at the start, and then 2 spiders in phase 2 was extremely annoying, especially with health being this limited.Ayre was hard just because shes hard. Unless you go with miniguns and vesna needles or stay at the edge of the arena so she doesnt rush behind you, then shes plainly a fast and hard enemy.I personally spent more time on Ayre, but partially because Fires of Rubicon was my first ending.>t. S ranked all bosses with 1 build some time after getting all endings
>>734001587>it’s totally harmless on its home planet undisturbedYou don't know that
>>733982380And I'll fucking do it again
>>734001797Yeah I do and so do you. Humans in a century created a nuke out of a species that had otherwise existed undisturbed on the planet for what must have at least been millions of years.
>>734002157It just wasn't technologically capable of competing. As all the coral weapons show, uplift the Coral by giving them a freebie gundam and they're capable of going to war, we just had a headstart of those millions of yearsNot humanity's fault, should've evolved faster
>>734002456you're proving my point. coral had no means to create the technology that turns it into a killing machine, and it never would have without direct human interference. it has no hands to build the gun its firing. it cant interact with, it can't even communicate outside of its own species or else to coral augmented humans.
>>733982380The story did not have to be as good as it was. Just a fucking incredible video game.
>>733987146>and try to convince herself you are the very incarnation of the "spark of war" to resolve herself to kill you.That's how I saw it too. We can only do difficult things by telling ourselves xyz.
>>734002709>it never would have without direct human interferenceYou don't know that. Given enough time and lack of extinction events on Rubicon it would likely evolve into a civilization, it was already displaying not just sentience but sapience, all it needed was time to evolve from coral worm to coral ant or coral monkey and I'd be able to build it's own civilization with it's own dreams of conquest
>>733987407SMGod...
>>734003071That’s retarded logic for someone whose only counterpoint so far is “you don’t know that.” Your justification for unjustified genocide is that at some nebulous point, billions of years in the future, coral could evolve into something that’s not coral as shown by the game. You’re not engaging with the plot you’re writing 40K fanfiction.

>>734001430Better pic
>>734003276Counterpoint to what, I'm only disagreeing that Coral would've never turned violent when you're the one who started discussing it in the timeframe of "millions of years">Your justification for unjustified genocideIf I have a justification then it's justified by definition, but you can easily justify it just by pointing out that as long as there is Coral tech there's going to be coral abnormalities going rogue and trying to influence their tech user or possess coral weapons. And considering the vast power difference between what regular tech and coral tech can do, there WOULD be coral tech being made if given the opportunity (ie no PCA blockade or enough offworld shipments to move production)Or you can just say burning coral hurts corporate interests
>>733985137>The Chief never loses>EXUSIA doesn’t bust into the arena and shout about how humans are so damn interestingThis game kind of sucked when I think about it
>>734004154Fuck your waifu
>>734004797turns out making 5 kilometer long bosses does not usually make for very interactive gameplayIf anything, they could have aimed for something more like the Earthmover from Ultrakill
>>733982380This fucking game man. So many RAW AS FUCK feels and kino moments.
>>734004797Now show the Vascular Plant scale, holy shit.
I like Armored Core VI but I can't help but be a little disappointed in it too. Maybe a repeat on what everyone said but >Weapon balance is complete shit, there is literally no point in using everyday rifleman shit.>Level design feels the same every stage>Plot is pretty linear and there's not really any "cool" moments like you'd want to replay over and over again.>Gameplay doesn't really seem to evolve once you build either BIG TANK GO BOOM BOOM or SMALL MECHA MAN GOING WOOSH WOOSH>PVP is dead>Barely any replayability once you're done all 3 routes. I haven't played since the patches but I don't think they really fixed any of this.
>>734004934A better word would have been “unprovoked,” I’m not saying that there’s no moral justification for burning the coral. I’m just saying that your original one, that it could in a vacuum evolve into some kind of opposition to humanity, was retarded.
>>733987407I followed the same color palette for my AC. I love 'minty' designs.
>>734005064>very interactive gameplayThe game doesn’t need more of that it’s got shit tons. It needs more spectacle. The ice worm and the strider should have had a sister fight in the last third, some kind of comparably gargantuan arms fort battle to round the game out.
>>734004879Her whole SPECIES is gonna feel my plaps.
>>734005680>some kind of comparably gargantuan arms fort battle to round the game out.Some massive uberstructure that you have to scale and take out key points to disable/destroy but it's actively defended by hundreds of copies of Iguazu in different mechs.Iguazu just seethes more and more as you keep killing him.

>>734005680nah, it had outstanding spectacle and needed tighter action and bossfights alongside of it
>>734005305Rifles are efficient for clearing mooks, which would be a good niche to have if there were more of them/they were more threatening/the levels were longer. AC6's in a bit of a weird spot where game mastery makes the campaign super easy outside of particular bossfights, while players who don't have quite the right stuff will struggle hard almost everywhere (E.G. the great filtering of the tutorial heli). I'm not really sure how Fromsoft would go about 'solving' that particular hurdle.
>>733984261621 made Carla laugh
>>734006784Removing resupplies would do a lot for the game, it felt like I didn't really need to resupply at all in the majority of missions. Otherwise make the levels long enough to actually need resupplies. I also think that you shouldn't be able to change any part of your loadout without restarting the mission, but i'm sure a lot of the newer audience would be against that.
>>734007027I think the implication is 621 says something along the line of “how are we getting out of this?” And Carla laughs because she never figured there was escape from Overseers omnicidal mission.
>>734006316Not enough Whites prease undastand
>>733986946There is tons of cut scripting. In the Japanese script its even implied V.III O'Keefe is sterile due to his Coral experimentation process. (hence why the guy is so morbidly depressed)Later they even have a scenario that was planned that removed dialogue from the Destroy the Drive Block mission that added more Snail dialogue with trying to coordinate his men to destroy Rusty's original Steel Haze on the surface with the rest of the RLF.
>>734007282Ah, maybe that explains the floating line “deploy the Schneider AC” line. I wonder who was piloting it
>>733990454It's probably a time/pacing thing. Levels in AC6 are already really tight unless you're getting your shit pushed in, and if you're actually good then you'll skip like half of what's already in some levels. I'm sure if you put in all the cut dialogue you'd wind up with clipped dialogue everywhere as the player blows through different triggers just going through the level.
How do you guys remember all of this? I beat all the endings and don't remember shit now except Rusty and Iguazu being cool
>>734001797Coral aren't the one creating superweapon (using Coral as fuel).>>734002456They weren't technological at all (in our physical realm).They could have a civilization far more sophisticated to our own, just in another plane of existence.>>734003071>with it's own dreams of conquestYet to be demonstrated in any way."make contact, kill them just in case" is retarded because the logical conclusion is to kill your own "just in case".>>734004934>If I have a justification then it's justified by definitionThat's a completely circular reasoning.Beside, if AC6 get a sequel, you are inevitably going to see more human & coral cooperating together, inevitably performing better than one side trying to genocide the other despite not having access to the same realm.Worst case: genociding Coral (knowingly) paint you as evil for another species with the means to blow up your sun's or something. Especially if having Coral allies would have given you a chance.
>>734006784>AC6's in a bit of a weird spot where game mastery makes the campaign super easy outside of particular bossfightsThat annoy me to now end and I hope the next game avoid that.I blame PvP balance ruining the idea of modifying your mecha to suit the missions, the enemies you fight, and superboss as giant vehicles (Strider like), instead of making them just alternative play style with no difference.
>>734007534Timing/pacing is something the developers have complete control of.Just don't be stupid with trigger that can be activated simultaneously or in mere seconds. It's not like we are talking of minutes long dialog or unskippable cutscene.It can be done without the player having reason complain.Frankly I fear this is just a case of them aiming for the lowest common denominator, a loud minority with ADHD.>>734007282And more stuff that would give more depth to the events.
>>734008050I only remember being a practice dummy for heinous builds in pvp lobbies before the ass matchmaking was added
>>734009170I wish the jailbreak stuff wasn’t the dark souls broken sword equivalent in this gameThe basho set is cool and all, but the shitty beat up mech is da coolest and I would’ve liked to use it without feeling like I’m hindering myself
so is this actually igausu or is it a cyberpunk scenario where it's basically just a soulless digital clone of him?
>tell me.... who else are you going to kill?I fucking love when bosses guilt trip the protagonist
>>734008050bro you need to get your attention span checked
>>734009498Soulless digital clone.If he does manage to kill you, he say he'll be joining you soon anyway.
>>734009498We have to go on Cyberpunk / Star Trek / Soma rules that a perfect recreation of Iguazus brain activity and memory is in practice the real Iguazu. Though I suppose since he’s Allminds elect there’s no evidence she didn’t harvest his real brain.
>>734007027she's laughing because 621 sent her a picture of a cat through coms
>>734009649They did it better in For Answer when they all band together to kill you. They didn't even bother trying to guilt trip you they just say, "You know why we're here."
>>734009452Same didn't even get to test my bait build with good bazookas everyone quit playing before that patch hit
>>733983930the build I S ranked the game with was a medium frame with dual laser pistols and dual needle launchers. You just choom the fuck out of everything fast and needle the big stuff. Last patch I played it took 1-2 pistol shots to kill most chaff so it was really efficient.
>>734009498>>734009860It's a world where they have brain implants, it's a ship of Theseus situation.
I kind of wish allmind flirted with you more like ayre does. although kate sort of does
>>734010804Kate was like a female Rusty to me in the third playthrough. I enjoyed her warm company a lot at the time.I was such a fucking idiot.
Speaking of flirting, that mission where Ayre suggest you to take your time, acting as if it's a date, I would have found it funny if she actually had more dialog during that phase, or even asked you to do stuff like "climb that building for the view" and stuff. Something that tell you what Coral like to do.
if they released a directors cut of this game that just added another 5 or so routes at the very last chapter I'd buy it. give it the hundred line treatment
>>734011604It’s honestly a shame there’s no dialogue reward for taking your time like Ayre requests. It’d be very cute.
>>734011595how is she like a female rusty doesn't she show up in literally 1 mission
>>734011604Me personally I did go to the top of a building and then jacked off to Ayre fan art pretending that we were fucking in the cockpit
>>734009980That mission on Hard is still one of the toughest gaming challenges Ive ever attempted
>>733990112Actual answer incoming.Cascadia has promised to become a mercenary haven in exchange for Sicario continuing to help them. This is "the deal" that's made.Crimson 1 correctly believes that should you win, you will go on to set the whole world on fire with conflict. This indeed happens, with Cascadian Foreign Legions attacking Federation territories nonstop following the end of the war, with many of the members of these foreign legions being mercenaries.The reason why Crimson 1 blows up Presidia even though the war is over and he's failed, is specifically to weaken Cascadia, his own homeland, as much as possible so that it can't go on to fund that level of borderline terrorism.And his obsession with killing Monarch is because he has to bury the ghost of Oceania so completely that even if he succeeds in ensuring that Cascadia does not become a mercenary state, another place in the world doesn't go the same way.

>>733986847>herIt's an AI that uses random voices of others.
>>734015609Who wants to look at some 50 year old wrinkled hag who is probably a chain smoker?
>>733982529It's an interesting twist where this AI network all the mercs use that analyzes combat data to create simulated fights is actually self aware.You're exposure to her in the base game is really just fighting sims of actual pilots and taking her for granted, but that power to basically brain scan and store people with 100% accuracy basically makes her a god level AI, so she obviously had a plan to swiftly take over humanity using coral.
>>734015848This.Where is she after you beat Allmindguazu?
>>733983930Charged Harris, Dual WS-5001 SOUP, and the melee weapon of your choice.Allmind gets btfo by tracking missiles.
>>733982975It gives them an edge. If the AI makes you win the war then people stop questioning it.
What's the most FUN build?
Is there a mod to restore the difficulty? I want to fight vanilla Balteus.
>>734012332I know right,It's just a nice nod and it wouldn't have cost anything to add but one more dialog.>if C4-621 didn't reach objective in 1 minute, play [Ayre ask to get somewhere high]>>734012768>C4-621 climb above 200m for 1 minute, play [Ayre Coral handholding with C4-621]

Walter's ending is fucking dumb because the fact that coral augmentation exists off Rubicon proves that blowing up the planet doesn't actually solve the threat of Coral collapse - there's already samples off world. The corpos can just breed more somewhere else.

I can emulate older AC games fine but how the fug do I play AC4 and V without a PS3 nowadaysCan't they remaster them on PC and modern consoles in a nice collection
>>734030713I used RCPS3 on my steam deck and got it workingVerdict Day and V couldn’t run but I was probably just lazy
>>733984895My favorite part was when you invaded the redguns and that one guy mocks you for trying to beat them with just a single unit and Michigan just drills into him and glazes the hell out of you.>"This is the worm slayer!

>>733998339This is me. I never noticed they were trying to develop a rivalry with this guy and didn't bother to remember his voice or name, so when he shows up in this ending I legitimately went "Who?"
>>733982380>1280x720Thirdie please go.
>>734031116For me it's when the Vespers go from running Rubicon to being pawns of Allmind.
>join 3 random lobbies>get kicked within a second of joining by 2 of themI don't get it. There's barely anyone playing this game anymore, who are you even faggots waiting for? My build isn't even good. I haven't touched the game in like 18 months.
>>734002456you do know the irony in that coral now has the ability to fuck humanity out and your defensive reaction is to chimp out on their justification
>>733982380This shit was so boring
has anyone done a loader 4(as in default AC) playthrough?been playing with that idea since release but got bored of the game after true ending
>>734033973No but I did beat Ibis with the dogshit jail escape AC.
>>734033973It's pretty miserable for two reasons>no left shoulder (easily fixable if you just relax the cosplay and equip something, call it "loader 4.5" or something)>This general archetype of build kind of sucks in AC6Even with a left shoulder, Loader 4 is a "jack of all trades, master of none" in the absolute worst sense of the word, especially if your left shoulder stays true to the "concept" of Loader 4 by being another missile launcher instead of a pile bunker or something. >Sword but not enough CQC pressure to be a true melee build>AR but not enough long range pressure to be a true kite>Missiles but not enough speed, EN, or spam to be a rat>Not enough AP to just facetank itYou suck for the same reason Freud's build sucks. It's so much of a generalist it can't actually do any one thing, and faceplants.
>>734031116It's always funny to me how many "heh it's only one AC" lines there are throughout the game when an MT stands literally no chance vs an AC in any scenario. Like, a lot of weak weapons will literally one shot MTs. MT pilots should be panicking and pulling eject levers at the sight of one AC.
>>734033973No, but I did play through the game again as Raven.
>*dies of a bad fall*How do you respond without sounding mad?
>>734019315Yeah, all the other vespers are brainwashed cyborg corpo slaves while Freud is "free" in the sense that he's just there to have a good time. And unlike 621 he's not tied down with augments. He can hop out of his AC at any time to go live a normal life.
>>734034903I named my AC "A bad fall"
>>734028250>an AC with the conehead that doesn't look completely retardedYou've got the sauce, anon. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
>>734028250Those are some kickass builds
>>734034903songbird nerf ruined himsame for nightfall
>>734034903Impossible. I'll never be not mad. >teaming up with the Guns never ever
>>734010723Arguably if it's just a copy of Iguasu's brain pattern, then the original Iguasu is dead and this is just one of many copies that Allmind could've made. Given he managed to be so butthurt he overpowered a highly intelligent AI, one was too many.
>>733986238>The entire plot of AC6 is just fromsoft copying the anime Eureka SevenGlad to see someone say this, I'm very disappointed it doesn't come up more often in conversation, especially since the mecha designer for AC6 is from Eureka 7.
he was let down

>>734035068>He can hop out of his AC at any time to go live a normal life.So can the other Vespers, they don't have shitty augmentations like 621.There's in-game story art depicting the Vespers and the Redguns hanging out in their respective groups.Looking at Maeterlink in this image, it makes me feel guilty because I kill her in less than 10 seconds every time, and take great joy in it.
>>734038084>Redguns and RaD sitting on ACs>You can pintpoint each Vesper member just by their position/gesturesUtterly kino
>>734035384Thats The-O from zeta gundam, snail is a lot like scirocco and iguazu like jerid>>734035559Not mine someone on /m/ made then
>>734038084The other vespers are basically slaves. They're not just employees like the red guns the majority of them went through "re-education"
>>733982432fpbp
>>734037889Sounds like it takes the broad strokes but makes it more human and better. Overseer want to blow up Coral because they believe it's too dangerous to be left alone for someone else to use it, not because they're psycho. The RLF just want to be left alone, with leaders like Dolmayan realizing Coral can have personalities. Raven joining the RLF is purely a teaser for the Allmind route, its righteousness isn't relevant. Raven doesn't seek symbiosis with Coral to prevent singularity, Raven's motivations are entirely up to us, but it's at Ayre's behest that we seek Coral symbiosis because he and Ayre are living examples that humans and Coral can bond and lift each other up in a planet torn apart by humans and their instincts for power and war.
Thoughts on the meta?
>I wont missBut what if he did?
>>733989832It's not his name, it's a title. All five of the RLF's leadership are named after the five digits of a hand, so you have Little Ziyi, Ring Freddie, Middle Flatwell, Index Dunham, and Thumb Dolmayan
>>734042243Looks better than the top-heavy one, at least.
>>734038084>shitty augmentations like 621.The only thing that makes coral augmentation "shitty" is that it's risky to install and can exacerbate existing psychological issues as seen with Iguazu, 621 is literally the best AC pilot in existence due to his augmentation. Even faggots like Snail with his fancy schmancy 8th gen augmentation dies like a bitch because 621 is just that godlike of a pilot
>>733996804You forgot to type your post before you signed it.
>>733983852>>733983803These are sick
What's the most fun weapon in the game and why is it the laser pistol?
>>734021127JOSHUA O'BREIUUUUN?????
>>734047109The laser pistol isn't bad, but it has nothing on the WUERGER.
>>734045295La creatura...

Every time I try coming back to this game, the online is dead as fuck. It's over...
>>733982380Iguazu was such a little bitch boy, what did ALLMIND see in him?
>>734034151it was a real missed opportunity that From didn't use the gen 1-3 control scheme for the jailbreak mech
I don't get the igazu hate. he's sort of justified in his emotions honestly
>>734026116>sacrifice the future of humanity...you sacrifice nothing.On its own Coral can't built tech and apparently can't even prevent mankind from turning them into fuel.Now you've made sure mankind have more than one planet generating Coral. It's no longer a single point failure.
>>734034530>MT pilots should be panicking and pulling eject levers at the sight of one AC.Agreed, if I made such game, MT would only be moving in massive numbers because they stand no chance individually.
>Charged LRB>LCS>LCA>Truenos>Charged Harris>Spring Chicken kicksWhat are some other dishonest wifi warrior weapons?
>>734047876literally any grenade/rocket launcher. you will get ghost hit by explosives no matter how good you or your opponents connection is because the netcode just isn't good.
>>734031738the game isn't sincerely trying to develop a natural rivalry between you and Iguazuthe whole point is that Iguazu has main character syndrome but gets so blown the fuck out by you the minute he meets you that he literally gets so mad that he crawls out of hell to kill you and still can't do ithe's inconsequential to Raven even though Iguazu is always seething about you
>>734039978Freud isn't a slave, he has authority over Snail. He cuts Snail out of the comms so he can enjoy his Flight Simulator autism fight with 621
>>734001096sussy
>>734048653Anon did you not see my original post?
>>734047627He's a pissy whiny faggot who's mad that 621 upstaged him on an asswiping mission and made it his personal quest to kill him because he was so shamed by his poor performance, he literally just hates 621 for being a better AC pilot and it turned into world-ending murderous rage. When you kill him at the end of route 3 he says he always envied you
>>734048707Apparently not, I'm drunk, my bad
>>734048749to be fair I think about 90% of /v/ would go down his same character arc if that happened to us kek
Someone explain the third ending to me, why we on different planet? Are AC's now bodies for Coral?
>>734047627He's just a punk ass bitch and all of the problems he has are the result of him being a punk ass bitch. He's a pendulum that swings back and forth between boasting and whining, and despite all his big talk he's a multiple count deserter. Your very first interaction with him is him trying to look tough by telling you he's going to be climbing the Wall, only to then desert and leave his friend, Volta, to die wondering where he is. He's just kind of a pathetic asshole through and through.I don't think anyone actually hates him though, they just look down on him.
>>734048361>the game isn't sincerely trying to develop a natural rivalry between you and IguazuI like how the game kind of builds it up, but doesn't make it obvious. There's no particular reason he'd be the very final boss, but throughout the game you can notice how Iguazu gets more and more deranged and resentful toward 621.

>>734045395The best AC pilot (before we kill him) had no augmentation at all.621 augmentation aren't better, they are even considered inferior. It's just that Gen4 was capable of hearing the Coral.This is the great tragedy of the plot, mankind dismissed the one technology that would let them ascertain the Coral is sentient.
>>734007134you must have never used pistols during launch.
>>734048961>Your very first interaction with him is him trying to look tough by telling you he's going to be climbing the WallI love that he sends you seething Xbox Live hatemail afterward"YOU GOT LUCKY, YOU WERE JUST ABUSING 360 NOSCOPES, I'M GONNA FUCKING RAPE YOUR SISTER AND CUT YOUR HEAD OFF IN REAL LIFE NIGGER FAGGOT BITCH"
>>734049587>The best AC pilot (before we kill him) had no augmentation at all.And he's described as a one in a million pilot who was just a regular jackoff who happened to be an extremely intense Flight Simulator autist who was entirely in it for the love of the game. He was very good for an unaugmented pilot but he was beaten by 621, and was also superior to every single Vesper with all their fancy augments and training, so it makes you question how effective augmentations actually are
>>734047627He isn't justified in anything. He was never the best in the first place.He is very selfish, only focusing on 621 as an rival because they are both Gen4, so he's pushing out on him his own failure to climb the wall.>>734048361>isn't sincerelyIt sincerely meant it one-sided on purpose, see >>733998339The entire point is that Iguazu is raging over absolutely nothing but his own worth, while you are busing with far more important choice.He's also a G4 like you, but consider others and Coral as just noise.And as >>734049038 point out, it's masterful in that you don't suspect he'll be the final boss.
>>734020274The primary conflict of the game is the one between the League of Corporations vs ORCA Brigade, a radical terrorist organization that aims to bring down the League elite. The main point of contention between them is the Cradle system, a set of massive flying cities that fly near the atmosphere in order to avoid the pollution on the surface.ORCA want to divert the energy keeping the Cradles afloat to power a set of anti-sattelite cannons to destroy the Assault Cells, a network of satellites designed to shoot down anything trying to escape orbit, remnants of an old corporate conflict that aimed to deny access to extraterrestrial resources. Diverting power from the Cradles will force them to land on the surface, and the millions aboard whose immune systems have not adapted to the harsh polluted surface will likely die in the aftermath, however, the destruction of the Assault Cells will clear the path to space, which is ORCA's main goal.However, in truth ORCA is controlled opposition set up and funded by (literally) the Jewish member of the League. Aside from the founding members, ORCA is meant to be a honeypot to which anti-League elements flock to so they can be dealt with decisively and act as scapegoats for the mass deaths the forced landing of the Cradles will cause.But ORCA has attracted a genuine madman and terrorist, Old King, who believes ORCA's methods are too soft. So on the ORCA path, he will attempt to go rogue and hire the player character to attack the Cradles directly, taking out a fleet of them by destroying the engines and killing the 100,000,000 on board. Your own operator, who serves as your mentor throughout the game (being a retired pilot herself), leaves you out of disgust for your actions. Immediately following that mission, you are given a mission request from one of the League members, leading you to the Arteria Carpals facility. There, you and Old King are ambushed by the top 4 pilots of the League, and your operator.
>>734048915The "release" was about sending Rubiconian (and Coral) over more than one planet. So they can't be genocided (easily).The picture imply it by showing "stars" glowing in the red coral color all across the sky.The process involved creating a black hole for FTL travel and suggest that 621 was also carried over to one of those planet in the process.>Are AC's now bodies for Coral?No.Only Coral-based technology (C-weapon) can be controlled by Rubiconian directly.And the only reason 621 can hear Rubiconian is that he has Gen4 augmentation which are Coral based.
>>734050095The point remain.621 can also be considered "one in a million" and just happen to have an old type of "augmentation" that was considered unstable.Besides they aren't fighting each other with the same mech and equipment.Even if I have no doubt some anon out there can beat ALLMIND Iguazu or Ayre using the Jailbreak AC.
>>734050350Thank you anon, that was very informative and interesting.Made me wish I played AC FA for that.(but I hate the ultra fast dash of that title, and think the targeting window has outlived its usefulness from old playstation days)
First to say burning coral is the only option, let it all burn.

>>733983091i like how they gave allmind a grind blade from acv, i fucking WISH they remastered all of the 7th gen armored core for pc.... just rework the missions rewards to make it less grindy (there's no point in adding back multiplayer) and it will be good enough, ac4/acfa and acvd are perfect already
>>733982529She was eating/absorbing everyone's minds but she did that later on.
>>733982975The bigger mystery is what crawled up the satellite Ai's ass and died because she frequently gives the PCA suicidal orders and never allows them to retreat or have breathing room.
How do I make the bigger energy guns work?Making something using VE-20B is borderline impossible because the thing chokes and cries at everything higher load than two laser pistols and if you go lower on energy weapon spec then you might as well go back to kinetic/missiles that do actual stagger.
