Is it true this is an underrated gem?
>>
No, it's on the opposite end of that scale.
>>
>>737348978
An overrated turd then?
>>
>>737349179
When you put it like that, maybe I was a bit too harsh. Still a gem, just overrated.
>>
It's a short game that you need to clear several times to 100%.
Difficulty is trivial except for one infamous mission on hard mode.
Graphics are bad for it's generation, but it's nice that they built the lore around why the planet is an empty desert wasteland.
Level design is worse than it's predecessor AC4.
The setting, typical from software vague storytelling and mecha design is a huge part of why people like it.
>>
white glint is fucking kino and I wont hear any faggotry to the opposite

All armored Core games are underrated gems. For Answer is alot of fun, with some really cool enemies and missions.

>>737348748
I have it for the triple. The framerate is abysmal. I haven't been able to enjoy it for that reason
>>
>>737349439
Should AC4 be played before For Answer?
>>
>>737351026
If you plan on playing AC4 at all, yeah play it before For Answer. Some stuff will make a bit more sense, but its not essential to play it. I'd play it to see the full story between the two games, and its cool to take your AC from 4 and then then upgrade it with new parts in For Answer.
>>
>>737351026
Its a much nicer progression and as other anon points out you can carry your mechs over

they never do that in nexus wtf

Last Raven is alot harder than the other PS2 games, and will push your shit in several times until you learn to adapt.

The most fun hard mode a game has ever had.
>>
>>737348748
Nah. It doesn't have many areas. The areas are pretty small. And it's pretty short. It has good controls after you customise them though.

>>737348748
It’s my favorite AC game, AC3 gen and AC6 right behind it. Kino AC models, kino loadout optimization, and still one of the most complete implementation of the NG+ in a Miyazaki game. With the team PvP mode and AI system of ACVD it would have been perfect.
>>
>>737359435
Also best AC soundtrack.
>>
>>737352040
To me LR is the only AC that almost expects you to port a save over to have a meaningful shot at the early AC v AC fights & missions. Cash gain is abysmal and you don't really have alternative revenue sources like early Arena.
>>
>>737349439
Defeat Answerer?
>>
>>737348748
It's a rightfully praised gem
>>
>>737348748
It was alright. Nexus and Last Raven remain my favorites. Followed by 3 and Silent Line. 6 would have been better if, idk, it was harder and had Co-Op. So fucking weird that 5 was the only one that had meaningful Co-Op.

i just played the game for the first time a few months ago and i liked it so much i S ranked every mission on hard.
i like it far more than 6 and think it may be one of my all time favorites now.
when the music and storytelling hit just right, they hit HARD. great fucking ost.
i wasn't moved at all during ac6 the way i was in this game.
it's just a shame that unless you really like the game, you may not experience the really high points since they're mostly at the end of NG+ and NG++.
i played in japanese, but from what i've seen the english voice acting is actual dogshit so there's that though

>>737349439

if you're playing on reg 1.2, which you should be, fast acs are so goddamn fast they can be frustrating to keep track of let alone land shots on.
fights where it's you against a gank squad of acs can also be really tough.

I SS rank AC4 and FA.
Still doesn't know what the point of stabilizer. I don't think I have ever use it.
>>
>>737365352
Balancing your weight. Like if you put a rifle in your hand, but only a pistol in your left, you can put a stabilizer on your left shoulder to keep your machine from veering to the right.
>>
>>737351026
sure
so you can do the onions face when the protagonist show up in For Answer and then jobbed to you

that's a thing?

>>737348748
4 and 4A are my two favourite AC games, so I am biased, but I will say that yes, it is a gem.
>>
>>737364172
all the ac devs left to make daemon x machina
>>
>>737366338
devs that don't matter apparently seeing how shit dxm was.
>>
>>737366110
Yeah. The game keeps track of your machine's center of balance and every part and weapon has its own weight that affects it.
>>
>>737366110
you can also use stabilizers to make 1 side heavier and make it easier to quick turn on that side

it takes one autist that sucks in every other area except leg movement leaving to make leg movement shit

>shitty camera controls with constant quick turns and jumps GOOD

AC6 is the best in the series and anything else is cope.
>>
>>737367983
AC6 was your first AC game
>>
>>737368182
Wrong, it was 4 on the PS3. AC6 was the first one that I finished however, because despite trying LR, 4, and FA I'm not dealing with trash controls like that.

They're not particularly good anyway, compare missions in 4 with 6. In 4 a mission can literally just be "sit on this rock and shoot down missiles that fly past" or "walk through this bad corridor with enemies that just shoot at you until you reach the end". A single mission in 6 is more interesting than pretty much all missions in 4 combined except a handful.

FA is the biggest waste, a lot of Arms Fort battles boil down to just sticking to them with an energy blade and slashing them with it a dozen or so times.

You can just complete arena from the get go and build a fully kitted out AC before a single mission, arena gives you a fuckton of money

this and the stun system is why AC6 will never be top 5 in the armored core rankings
>>
>>737371549
LR arena can only be unlocked if you've defeated the AC from story. It's an LR thing.
>>
>>737371769
>stun system
you mean stagger. Stun exist in every AC games and it was worse there than 6.
>>
>>737372116
What? What game are you talking about? Last Raven has it all unlocked from the start. I've never not used a fresh save file.
Last Raven probably has, ironically, the easiest start in the series because you can just get infinite riches right off the bat. You just have to git gud against Bolt afterwards.
>>
>>737372962
I'm pretty sure I need to kill the AC in story first for it to be unlocked in the arena. Just do a quick google search, and I'm right, but what I'm referring to was the EX arena.
>>
>>737352239
>4A shills love to shit on VI because it isn't a mecha game
Yeah.
>>
>>737372116
maybe you are thinking of the EX arena where you can unlock everyones emblems
the normal VR arena is available from the very start
>>
>>737373072
The regular arena is available right off the bat and you get millions from beating it. It's also really easy. EX arena is its own thing.
>>
>>737373082
hey fuck you man. 4A is a mecha game. Please stop breeding with your own mother, nigger

But 4, 4a, and 6 are my favorite games in the series.

i know 6 is the one that gets fellated to hell and back now, but back in the day gen 4 was the AC game that was equally loved and hated by everyone

6 looked more fun in that webm. A combo of charge shoot, a kick, a melee, and an assault blast. As opposed to just fly and shoots.

it suffers from every single modernized series, in some way or form they always try to automate the gameplay so it appeals to the braindead audience

I skipped them and went straight to the supercomputer thing
It doesn't seem like it's worth killing them, given how cancerous their arenas are

Finished 4 and V and currently working backwards from Last Raven. Couldn't bring myself to even finish VI because it doesn't really feel like you're controlling a mech, it's like Dark Souls with a mecha aesthetic slapped on.
