Walter is a better waifu than Ayre.
Unfathomably based.
>Ekdromoi AC getting patched in
Big thumbs up
>Can pilot Ayre's AC
Pretty cool
>Can pilot Rusty's upgraded AC
Fantastic
>Can pilot Walter's IBIS AC
FRICKING AMAZING
>Can't pilot Ayre/ALLMIND's SOL 644
Almost perfect
SOL would look weird with AC proportions
So was that last thread about the next update including new weapons and parts including a shoulder minigun legit?
Pdf files was on official website
So now I just wait on stand by with my 110 000 000 COAM.
>I'm too lazy to read
>I can't read
both are good. souls writing works because it's completely unobtrusive and you can ignore it. armored core iv has more in your face dialogue but it's short and sweet. this attempt to wedge and start a flame war is gay and OP is a homosexual.

AC6 characters oozed charisma. I could kill the entire BG3 cast and not feel a thing

The cast of AC6 is great and the best one in any AC game. Feel free to cope.
Forgot Walter getting more attached to you the more you play and even defending your reputation.

What a fricking amazing game
Anyone who genuinely thinks ACVI had a worse story than Elden Ring is a smoothbrain. I hate morons who are impressed by hidden lore and item descriptions and whatever else more than the actual storytelling and execution of the story. Apparently, Oblivion has a better story than 90% of games out there because there are books full of lore in the game everywhere or something.
ACVI was a triumph of video game mecha storytelling
oblivion does have a good story once you understand what mehrunes dagon was trying to accomplish.
skyrim is where the writing fell off a cliff and they wasted alduin.
They're not even impressed by ER itself.
They're fellating the game AFTER watching a video from homosexual lore youtubers.
Meanwhile you can enjoy AC6 story out of the box.
not exactly. there's still data logs you need to read to get the whole picture. and obnoxious lore youtubers that steal from us lore gods here also make acvi content.
>no fun allowed
here have an ayre
Here comes the most mentally ill troony of all. Worshipping a made up waifu that didn't exist in the game lmao.
where and when did I worship it
it's just fun to see an artist try to put a face to the voice, but I suppose expecting you to appreciate creativity is my fault.
soulful AC
ignore the shitposter, he isnt worth your time
Why does it have a Lion's face on it?
Very good point of view, I like the red blob versions of her
Bro? Your dividing driver?
I like both
I enjoy worldbuilding/lore, and I also enjoy narrative progression. In an ideal world, a game would have both, but I'll settle for either one done well in a pinch and just accept that we don't live in an ideal world.
Elden Ring unironically had a great storyline with multiple nuanced characters for the Frenzied Flame ending, but like 70% of it was left on the cutting room floor. Some of the absolute best performances in the game in terms of voice acting are still in the files but won't ever be heard because the majority of the questline is cut content.
>oblivion
>not morrowind

i see, moron who didn't pay attention during the game and didn't even hear the dialogue. all of this is in the game.
I'm sure walter is as based and redpilled as zanzibart kekaroo
I encountered one anon claiming he was skipping all radio notifications and messages and then crying because he didn't understand shit. Maybe it's him.
What the frick is the war between Balam and Arquebus ( and the planetary administration even though they're not corps ) then?
Who the frick are all those poser posters?
>Balam and Arquebus ( and the planetary administration even though they're not corps )
A war between two factions that could be literally anything and nothing would change. It could be a kingdom vs a republic and the story doesn't change at all. Play any earlier AC and you'll understand what an actual corp war is.
>Play any earlier AC and you'll understand what an actual corp war is.
You can just say you've only played FA.
tbtbh AC1 sells the merc for hire caught between rival megacorps the best
and the point of that game is that the corp war literally doesn't matter because there's a robot pulling all the strings from behind the scenes
Yeah but it's a plot twist reserved for the very end. Everything up until that point was corpokino. The cinematic of the exec being shot up by the drone or whatever has a tone that is unmatched.
AC1s plot is literally a super AI is behind everything. The entire corpo war is a farce.
Games shit, corp wars>gay garbage this game had.
You didn't play the game and you are a worthless Black person. The kind shitting his pants on Ganker making long paragraphs about games he never touched.
If you played AC6 for a few hours you'd know this. But you didn't.
AChads stay winning ACTION GAME OF THE YEAR basically you're not a real gamer if you haven't played it.

I'm waiting for the CDs instead since they're coming with 16 new remixes.
Ohh CDs with remixes too? Where and when can I buy it from?

Frick no. There's only two good tracks in the entire game ( contact with you and the arena music ).
Rest of it is just ambiant noises. The ost sucks.
>Rest of it is just ambiant noises
Best AC OST coming through https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvc9xKeaKhM
Nah, the sound track is GOAT
It's shit.
Compare with ace combat ost. It's ridiculously good.
put some effort into your bait
Shit ost.
shit bait
Not as shitty as your shit ost.
I bet yamamoron ordered the sound artists to make the sounds of the AC muffled so we can enjoy the boring elevator music too. Another reason to hate this shit ost.
Even if you turn the music off the noises produced by your AC are horribly weak and muffled.
OSTs that are actually built for the game > OSTs with music slapped on top
Ace Combat music is generic as frick.

Learning and beating Balteus pre-patch was the real GOTY
He got nerfed?
now his missiles have trash tracking and his direct blast is much slower
True, that first playthrough was really the best. Once you've figured out all the game's tricks and crafted the ultimate rapemachine NG+ and ++ felt too easy.
Partially agree. The second half of NG and all of NG+ were piss easy once I had a good RJ build set up. NG++ gave me trouble in places, though I took a break after NG+ and was not quite as sharp as I had been.
I did that also with zooks
It was fricking terrible
I have to admit I had more trouble beating the juggernaut than balteus,I beat the c spider in like 3 tries but the hardest one was that ibis thing that comes back to life
With some builds it's hell to deal with this homosexual. Some melee weapons don't even work on the front mouth part for me.
>miraculously fly through the Touhou missiles
>stunlock him with your shitty sword and bazookas
>have to decide whether or not you can keep up the pressure
Ibis deserved the nerf but Balteus should have remained a scrubkiller
Based. The Souls lore was neat at first but I refuse to believe anybody played Elden Ring and sincerely enjoyed trying to piece together a narrative in a world that big. Thankfully, YouTuber jannies will do the job for FromSoftware
bullshit, ac6 story was told in an extremely straightforward manner. if you skipped every single readable document and only cared about lines that drop as game story moves on, you've probably got 90% of content and definitely kept a decent grasp on what's going on in game
he was referring to the souls games
the "story" in Dark Souls is good though because you can ignore it and pretend you're playing an early 90s video game where the entire plot is in the manual (which you didn't read because you're not a b***h)
Not that i didn't like AC6 mind
Exactly. Nice thing about Souls-style world-building is that it's completely optional. You don't REALLY need to know anything about the world except that there's some key bad guys to kill and the general setup.
If you want to jerk off to very specific world and character lore you can just scroll through your inventory for a little, and if you want to play Simon's Quest 3D but good you chuck the flavour text in a bin and go fight some huge dude in armour that yammers on about some guy called Zanzibart when he dies.
I like both methods of storytelling.
Mind you that Souls does have a straightforward story, you only need to get into item descriptions for the very fine details about the characters and bosses.
That's a very narrow-minded way of looking at things. That sort of story serves the episodic structure of Armored Core but the archeological method of Dark Souls is much better served to such an exploration focused game. A story for a video game should be reflective of the gameplay style not the other way around.
Raven the independent mercenary, you're not the mutt I thought you were...

Unfortunate...
I would've voted for G1 if I cared enough to do it

AC6 OST is probably the best video game OST i have ever heard, nothing else even comes close
Every AC game has a killer soundtrack
Rusted Pride was good but the rest was pretty meh. That or it was so low volume I didn't pay attention to it.
pre patch balteus moment
holy frick, you need to play games with better osts, desperately
This AC6 OST is the GOAT
I TAKE FLIGHT
RUUUUBICOOOOOOON CRRRRIIIIIIIIEEEEESSSSSS
bloody hell Black person at least watch a walkthrough for you to at least have a idea of what you are talking about dumbass
AC6 OST is probably the best video game OST i have ever heard, nothing else even comes close
With all the homosexuals showing up praising the mid ost ( probably put of contrarianism I bet ) I feel comfortable letting AC6 threads die now.
AC6 is solid but 2/3 of the endings are steaming turds.
yeah liberator and coral release sucked
Hard disagree, every ending is kino. Liberator is the worst one but only because it feels a little bit fanservice-y and lacks nuance.
>You're the hero!
>Here is Rusty the Cool Guy™ to jerk you off
>Now punch that mean ol' Snail right in his smug face while the crowd cheers you on because you are unambiguously the good guy!
Walter's final monologue and death was pretty great, but his fight was disappointing since his health bar was erased pretty much instantly.
The ending felt good while I was playing it but it left a poor aftertaste. Fires of Raven and Coral Release both felt a lot more weighty and left much deeper impressions.
post your AC's
Kino shot, anon
Wait you can actually hit this c**t with bazookas and songbirds?
>t. brought 4 machine guns to the fight
Every build I had failed against the Ibis. I busted out this Nachtreiter thing I made to fight my buddy just to test how it would handle, but instead I killed the boss in one go.
I have no problem against bosses and ACs when I use a lightweight AC, it's even easier when I go melee.
But I was told in pvp it's the opposite and heavy mechs get the upper hand. Why is that?
Because of the lag and hard-lock making dodging almost impossible? ( Bazookas hitting 80% of the time a target because of the shit netcode)so the entire pvp is just a damage rush?
How can the pvp be improved? No hard-lock? Real servers for the multiplayer?
I suck with heavies in MP so I can't help you there
Hardlock prevents flanking and blind spots which is a lights primary way of fighting since forever, but also speed gaps in AC6 are comparitivly small compared to many older games, its actually closest to AC2 in terms of speed and heavies dominated in that games PvP too, lights arent unplayable since the patch but they will have an uphill battle most of the time.
despite this PvP is not a damage rush no and the game really shines when you start playing around cover.
Removal of hardlock would be great for PvP, or even limiting it in some way. its the biggest drawback of the game.
Someone needs to take care of Yamamura for that.
Give me a plane ticket and a silencer with a gun.
Nah you sound too b***h made for a task like that
>AC2
Being able to OB around the map on tank treads was funny as frick. 2nd gen was really silly.
Just need a setting to disable hardlock for everyone on a lobby level. Don't wanna play like that? Don't join the room, and the people that actually want a skill based game can do it.
Id be fine with that tbh, if they even add a ranked mode it should be off by default though.
One of the strongest builds in MP is heavy biped with two zimmermans and a shield. Basically, buerzel booster makes you fast enough to still chase down lightweights while assault boosting and as soon as you get in zim range you have higher stability and higher defensive stats so you just eat lightweights for breakfast. Purely a stat check stagger race type of deal. Even heavier builds don't succeed as much because they become slow enough to be susceptible to guys shooting their missiles and assault boosting away repeatedly without being able to catch up.
It is about effective HP. Heavy parts have more health AND better armor. Between the two it is like an extra 40% health, with no repair kits to narrow the gap like in PvE.
It's a lot of armor to chew through.
bazookas are one of the easiest ways to beat her to me
I posted most of them last thread and only have my weird ones left
There's no point in asking Goemon, might as well ask the damn toaster
Thanks doc
I remember during launch that putting on too many detailed emblems broke your AC's animation which made this AC basically unusable/cheating in pvp
Players say they wanted Ekdromoi laser lance. But for me LLA was the better design after looking at that one closely.
I've always envied you....
The freelancer who had it all
This ghost of me won't last.
Save a spot for me in hell.
Even when he was a total b***h, he was still a cool loser rival.
I love Iguazu. He doesn't get more noble, mature, or gain any respect for you as he grows more important in the story the way many other rivals in games do. He's still the same seething xbox live ass random he's always been when he's the final boss.
Just beat the fight with him and v2 snail,motherfrick was hard af to kill
You'd think they would at least shoot each other a little instead of double teaming you 90% of the time
How do you beat the final iguazu mission?I unironically run out of ammo every time lel
You can ignore the small mechs and sea spiders and they automatically die each time he phase changes.
If you want to kill everything yourself then some builds just get filtered by ammo, but it can still be done with certain weapons like dual gats + earshots or something, and aggressive assault armor use.
Use weapons with more ammo. If you want to kill the other ACs in the first phase take a bazooka or a grenade launcher and use assault armor. You can ignore the sea spiders, just stay in the air and they won't be a problem. What weapons are you using to run out of ammo mid fight ?
Rn im using a lightmecha with duel machine gun hu ben and songbirds, I run out of ammo when hes at like 30% hp
I used gatling gun - lazer Lance / lazer sword - worm needle thing - song bird
I ignored all the smaller mechs and the floating bullshit. If you run out you atleast still have the Lance / sword
In the first phase I usually just go into the middle and pop the assault armor and get rid of most of them quickly, the 2nd phase I mostly ignore the stupid spiders and do my stuff,I just get fricked by his triple meele attack in the 3rd phase.
I havent user a meele weapon since like I beat balteus in the first run
I love the lazer sword and the lazer Lance, I used it to beat everything. I sucked with the pile bunker
im obsessed with music and i 100% support the fact ac6's ost is mediocre
the best stuff are the garage themes, but otherwise its mostly weak. Too many tracks that are both bland but also repeated 9999 times in a row. Some special tracks like ayre and allmind have some really good parts (notably the start) but 2/3 the song is boring and goes nowhere
Carla theme is nice but it's the only kinda cheerful theme in the entire game. The base for the entire soundtrack is too tame and quiet to motivate me.
carla's theme is very great, if that was the standard then it would be an absolute kino ost
Reminder that if you sided with the coral you're a fricking moron that got tricked into helping the villain.
>not wanting to ascend
Frick being a saggy meatbag. I hate humanity. Let's reach the coral convergence, or instrumentality, or whatever it's called.
I don't want space fungus controlling humanity.
>Hmmm should I side with the soulless corpos or the magic space parasite
Seems kind of like a no-win situation from where I'm standing, but at least the magic space parasite is nice to me
I'll roll the dice on greatness rather than settle for mediocrity any day of the week
Stop being scared of potential
A lot of ACVI story comes down to the performances. The dub was really well done.
Snail's rematch in the Balteus was so satisfying and half the reason is how amazing his diatribe and screeching anger was performed.
I'm convinced that they hooked a car battery to the VAs ballsack to get Snail's death scream in both the sub and the dub
Twin energy pistols was a lot of fun.
literally my build for that mission
Same here
If a company has pic related involved in it, it's 100% likely to be dogshit.
Id killed for a master collection of Armored Core but im fine for a new entry. awesome game
Hopefully the success of 6 leads to a remasters of the old games with a PC release.
Is it possible when old AC games weren't edited by fromsoft?
Technically if they want to delve into the legal swamp. The reality is Fromsoft doesn't care to retread old titles and is only interesting in making new ones.
I could use some help with completing underground exploration depth 2. I can get to the Enforcer with a full Nachtreiher, two burst rifles, energy sword and missile launcher. I honestly haven't spent much time on the boss and I think if I gave it a few more goes I'd eventually get it. By the end the only attack that was hitting me was the multi-shot laser and I probably just need to look for an animation. The real issue is Iguazu, in that tight space with all that cover I'm struggling with that fight, it's really annoying and I'm usually not left with much health. Which is fine, you're healed after, but I feel like I could use build advice. The stuff available at Ch4 hasn't changed anything, I've pretty much been using full Nachtreiher the entire game, with the occasional swap to Kasuar reverse-joint legs. Any advice would be welcome.
>Nachtreiher, two burst rifles
Change your arms, Nacht arms have some of the worst recoil control in the game
What would you suggest?
I have a really hard time landing it even with stagger, they always seem to recover as it's fully charged. Any tips for landing it more reliably?
Nta but you should use the needle launcher you get from the worm,probably best weapon in the game.
You can go full try hard and use dual zimmermans.
And probably get a more middle weight mech,if I remember correctly the one youre using cant take any damage
I was going with light weight, I enjoy the playstyle. I'll try getting some Zimmies, but I was trying to avoid using those. I heard they were cheesey.
Looks like it's locked. It isn't in the parts shop. Should I build for close range, like Sweet 16s or Zimmies, and just grab the best arms for melee available? It's sounding like the best option is stagger and punchout with Pile bunker.
It's usually in the weapon bay yeah, that will probably help a lot, thank you.
Im on my new game ++ and literally beat that guy 1 min ago,im using dual laser cannons,needle launcher and the scatter missile launcher...most of the mechs attacks you dodge by just jumping upwards or backwards
Go Basho if you want full melee damage, your range tracking will suffer though, close range can somewhat offset this, zimmers are still really strong, Viento needle pistols are crazy good at staggering too, dunno if you will have them or not yet i forget when you get them.
Personally i think they are much better options than the pile bunker, laser slicer deals a lot of damage and is faster. but you do you.
try the VP-46D, it will boost your melee damage by quite a bit too
>I have a really hard time landing it even with stagger, they always seem to recover as it's fully charged. Any tips for landing it more reliably?
If you use it off weapon bay you can cancel swap animation by quick boosting
pile bunker
I used 2x song birds - lazer Lance - Gatling gun
Stab stab then 4 song birds to the face
Anyone got any feedback for this build?
Trying out heavier builds after beating the game as a speed gay & enjoy it
Able to beat destroy the Redguns with a decent amount of ammo to spare
swap the pringles can for the other laser drones if they fit (the ones that chase the enemy) they are much better
EN regen is prob too low for my tastes, would swap core for something with higher output adjustment
>viento
These are really good, my chainsaw build was dual vientos+saw+zimmer
Im pretty sure you get them after finishing chapter 4, but coquillets can prob do their job until you get vientos
>It's usually in the weapon bay yeah, that will probably help a lot
Yeah, that cancel improved laser lance+pile bunker combo consistency by a lot for me
Rubiconian apes.
Ac6 had better storytelling than any of the nominees of the tga
A barebones plot full of mostly insignificant characters >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the garbage you're shilling.
I don't remember a single thing about Armored Core except Rusty
It's a mediocre Ace Combat ripoff with very poor replay value
Whats up with you people not playing the game thinking their opinion matters?
Why Ace cuckbat Black folk are attacking AC chads?
Off the top of my head I remember Michigan, Walter, Freud, Snail, Rusty, O'Keefe, Iguazu, Volta, Allmind, Chatty, Carla, Nosaac, Swinburn, Sulla, Materlink, Pater, Rummy, G6 red, Nile, Wu Hua Hei, & honest brute
Oh yeah there's also Dolmayan, Flatwell, Little Ziyi, & Index Dunham
This is going to sound stupid, but NFS Underground 1 also managed to add a lot of character into the "story" with like a dozen voice lines only sprinkled throughout the career mode
I'm so excited bros. On the 18th I will be 3 months sober and 3 months ago I promised myself that I would buy this game full price with the booze money.
On top of that, this'll be my first fromsoft game, I'm hyped!
Good for you anon,if you cant control your drinking is just better to quit it
thank you, yes alcohol is no joke. its claws were getting deeper every night.
thanks anon :-3
