Is it true this is an underrated gem?
No, it's on the opposite end of that scale.
>>737348978An overrated turd then?
>>737349179When 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.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKgWGptw1L4
>>737348748I have it for the triple. The framerate is abysmal. I haven't been able to enjoy it for that reason
>>737349439Should AC4 be played before For Answer?
>>737351026If 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.
>>737351026Its a much nicer progression and as other anon points out you can carry your mechs over
>finish nexus with tank legs>play LR>"holy shit I can just port my AC from nexus to LR???">the first mission's enemy AC runs circles around me and blows me up they never do that in nexus wtf
>>737351372Last Raven is alot harder than the other PS2 games, and will push your shit in several times until you learn to adapt.
>>737348748overrated if anything 4A shills love to shit on VI because it isn't twitchy spastic autismo boost chainslop
>>737352239>4A shillsAnon, its an almost 20 year old game. Nobody is shilling it.

>>737348748Fighting spirit of motherwill using a lightweight machine armed with only sword is my vidya soul food.
>>737349687rpcs3 fixes it
>>737348748The most fun hard mode a game has ever had.
>>737348748Nah. 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.
>>737352383you can tell their age by counting the number of buzzwords
>>737348748It’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.
>>737359435Also best AC soundtrack.
>>737352040To 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.
>>737349439Defeat Answerer?
>>737348748It's a rightfully praised gem
>>737348748It 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.
how the hell did we go from this
>>737364090to this
>>737348748Fucking love this game. SPEED: the game. 1000% Jeremy Clarkson approved.
>>737348748i 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>>737349439if 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.vertical kojima missiles carried my ass
>>737348748>NPC's said white glint is kino yet they don't play 4fucking retards, all of you.
>>737364989I SS rank AC4 and FA.Still doesn't know what the point of stabilizer. I don't think I have ever use it.
>>737365352Balancing 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.
>>737351026sureso you can do the onions face when the protagonist show up in For Answer and then jobbed to you
>>737365763>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.that's a thing?
>>7373487484 and 4A are my two favourite AC games, so I am biased, but I will say that yes, it is a gem.
>>737364172all the ac devs left to make daemon x machina
>>737366338devs that don't matter apparently seeing how shit dxm was.
>>737366110Yeah. The game keeps track of your machine's center of balance and every part and weapon has its own weight that affects it.
>>737366110you can also use stabilizers to make 1 side heavier and make it easier to quick turn on that side
>>737366594it takes one autist that sucks in every other area except leg movement leaving to make leg movement shit
>>737364090>>737364172>shitty camera controls with constant quick turns and jumps GOOD>actually decent camera lock on and handling BADAC6 is the best in the series and anything else is cope.
>>737367983AC6 was your first AC game
>>737368182Wrong, 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.
>>737368182Not that anon, AC1 is my first AC game. AC6 is my fifth and I have the same sentiment as this >>737367983 anon
>>737367983>AC6 is the best in the seriesLOL
>>737362017>you don't really have alternative revenue sources like early Arena.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
>>737364172this and the stun system is why AC6 will never be top 5 in the armored core rankings
>>737371549LR arena can only be unlocked if you've defeated the AC from story. It's an LR thing.
>>737371769>stun systemyou mean stagger. Stun exist in every AC games and it was worse there than 6.
>>737372116What? 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.
>>737372962I'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 gameYeah.
>>737372116maybe you are thinking of the EX arena where you can unlock everyones emblemsthe normal VR arena is available from the very start
>>737373072The 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.
>>737373082hey fuck you man. 4A is a mecha game. Please stop breeding with your own mother, nigger
>>737352239But 4, 4a, and 6 are my favorite games in the series.
>>737348748>the most overrated AC game>underrated gemi 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
Remember when armored core used to be a contest of 3D maneuverability and mech control instead of an autotracking staggerslop?
>>737374446
>>737374446>>737374569yeah but times change raven. times change around us
>>737374569
>>7373744466 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.
just beat my first AC yesterday, it was really fun
>>737374728what are you thoughts on fighting 2 nineballs?
>>737374668>lobotomized tranime gacha slopper loves automated slop
>>737374446>>737374569>>737374663VI just doesn't have the sauce the older games had, man. I dunno how to describe it.
>see AC thread>look inside>schizo having an unsolicited From Derangement Syndrome episodeEvery fucking time
>>737374663Like this looked fun since there's whole wall jumping and slingshotting.>>737374569 this one really isn't a good representation of good pvp.
>>737374794it 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
>>737374757I skipped them and went straight to the supercomputer thingIt doesn't seem like it's worth killing them, given how cancerous their arenas are
>>737374794Can't imagine anyone having this kind of mindset if you've played all of em.
>>737374980>let the fcs automatically aim at the enemy as long as it's either in the box, the screen, or the circle>this is literally how AC game works>this AC game is more automated than the previous automated game
>>737348748Wasn't this a Miyazaki game from before he became famous
>>737348748I don't think it's underratedIt is a gem
>>737374895it's a fast build kiting around to thr heavy's blindside as god intended
>>737375185>>let the fcs automatically aim at the enemy as long as it's either in the box, the screen, or the circle>>as long as it's either in the box, the screen, or the circle6 doesn't even have this requirement since the game tracks enemies for you lmao
>>737375017Finished 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.
>>737375371so does gen4
>>737375427>Finished 4who's the missing number?
>>737375451embarrassing post
>>737375427>finished V>couldn't bring myself to even finish VIkek the irony in that statement
>>7373487484A is overratedVD is overhatedAA is underparticipated9Breaker is underhatedAA is underrated
>>737375591Gen4 doesn't have circle or box. You can shoot as long as it's in your screen and it will automatically target it. Like 6 soft lock.How is that embarrassing?
>>737375776>Like 6 soft lock.>soft lockwhy do you think pretending to be retarded will convince anybody here? are you trans?
>>737375879what
>>737375517>no answerknew it.
>>737376703>so this is the true power of coral...
>>737376703look how they murdered my boy...
>>737376703Not even NEXTs can do that kind of maneuver.
