Unreasonable cult
A standard rifle and a shitty missile pod supplemented by a cheap laser blade was enough to beat 2/3rds off all AC missions across all the games. You were just killing shitty tanks, MTs, and helicopters in most of them.
I just hit him with my sword until his hit points fell to zero and then moved on to chapter 2, but I imagine he's really hard to fight if your first instinct is to fight him at his optimal range, and your second instinct to every one of his attacks is to panic boost in a straight line away as if you think the missiles are just gonna get tuckered out and lay down to take a nap or something.
Skill issue.
His has a shield that will regenerate so you need to take weapons that can break it like the sword and a bazooka/grenade launcher.
Once the shield is broken attack with everything you have until it regenerate.
Always be aggressive so it doesn't have time to make his annoying missile attack.
bro it's just bloodborne with mechs not souls with mechs. you just play stupid dumb aggressive and stagger the boss down then jizz all your deeps down. even the quick boost looks like the quick step from bloodborne.
>game unlocks anti-pulse guns right before this mission >oh gee willickers what am I gonna do against a boss with a pulse shield
Or just git gud and kill him with a sword and pistol like me.
Try returning the game and then playing something with a design philosophy deeper than just being difficult. This screenshot alone shows everything the game has to offer kek
ate shit like 6 times, ended up hugging his ass and staying airborne while taking down pulse shield with missiles and machine gun, then doing big damage with the 2nd pulse sword. if you're above him he can't really do shit
I just got to the Wall but then I started replaying missions over and over going for S ranks, grabbing money, fricking around with new weapons and gear, because I just really like going for max ranks in games that rank your missions and it's also really fun slowly improving with how I handle my AC. Playing on KB+M and I actually really enjoy how precise aiming and moving feels but it takes a little getting used to.
Like with this mission where you're supposed to ignore the tetrapod-whatever it's called, I just got a linear rifle that allows for just enough EN load on my light-as-a-feather AC and that shit does a ton of stagger damage on charged shots so now I just need to not eat shit in terms of damage and I get my S rank. This shit is so fricking fun.
Think about them as a spectacle. Bosses are mini-performances in a sense, both player and the boss are performing and creating experience together. Boss is a reward for going through level, not a punishment.
I don't want to go buy and equip two Pulse Guns just to shred his shields and cheese the fight with zero effort required, I want to actually overcome the boss and feel accomplished. Feels impossible to do so anyways since the attacks seem massively inconsistent to dodge
>I don't want to buy the mythril blade I want to beat the game with the iron short sword
Unfortunately that's not usually the case with these games you're supposed to do pvp. That's why arenas are always included. In the older games funds management was really important so you'd think they'd add something for doing it without dying once but I don't think that's a thing.
First of all what the frick does PvP have to do with anything. Second of all it's nothing like you're describing at all; it'd be like if the difference between Mythril and Iron was 1 dmg but the boss is specifically weak to Mythril only so you're just shit out of luck if you didn't buy one
Which is fine I guess but there's no opportunity to outplay or outskill and it's disappointing that the default answer is "loool just go buy the cheese weapons to utterly trivialize the boss"
>You just have to accept getting chipped for 1/10th of your HP every missile volley >Get close? Shotgunned. >Stay far? You do no damage due to falloff. >Occasional rocket spam for 2.5k damage
I've gotten him down to 20% but I don't feel like I've learned what I'm actually supposed to do in the slightest. I use a pulse gun with the spin saber, then the buckler and a laser cannon. I've tried a bunch of other setups and I just cannot get anything that feels reliable.
I literally just beat it with the starting sword, laser handgun and 2 missile packs. I hate this boss
but used a linear rifle instead of handgun. I used a generator with decent enough output and standard legs.
I also did some arena stuff to get Assault Armor and packed 2 charges of it, and whenever I buck broke him I let one off at close range*.
*Need to watch out for his frickoff big explosion at low health, may not want to AA then.
Seems to me far range has the most danger of the missile volley, but yeah honestly it's kind of bullshit getting chipped for so much damage no matter what. I can accept mech realism and it being an AC game, but I don't think being forced into a battle of attrition with a modern fromsoft boss is good design
I dodge the missiles by dodging in a circle towards/under them. If you're unlucky you'll take 1 or 2k damage, but if you get it right you'll take a few hundred at most. You can completely dodge the opening salvo this way
If you're having trouble with the 2.5k rocket, listen for the beeps. They're the only tell and if you can't hear it over the missiles then just die I guess because that's the only fricking signal they have.
Next you're gonna have to notice the faint smell of a fart in the wind in order to avoid a map nuke. Fricking hate tells that are "blink and you miss it", especially in fights where there's already plenty going on.
explosives just seem far better than kinetic and energy >handles pulse shields fine >big aoe to catch the light ACs or kill multiple mooks >long effective range >no ricochet
Do keep in mind the early release "reviews" had builds with every single part unlocked and they could just pick their poison for whatever boss they were fighting.
Fromsoft has been shipping out gimped review copies for journalists for years. I forget which it was, but there was a glitch that let you get one game real early off the jp marketplace and it was a journalist review version that had the difficulty cranked way down.
This is normal for some other publishers too. Back when I had my own indie review site I would frequently get review builds that were slightly different to launch builds.
Yup. Literally just took a break from this fight to post it here.
I can handle the beefy health.
What I can't handle is the shield sporadically regenerating AND dealing damage to your AC whenever you're trying to sword swing the motherfricker.
jesus fricking christ this guy was hard. I feel like I'm missing something for dealing with the missiles but I was able to unga DPS this fricker down with 2 8x missile packs and the beam rifle+sword
now I come on here and see people filtered by the fricking helicopter what the frick
Same, trying to fight it at range like I thought was expected just resulted in my bullets ricocheting and doing worthless damage while he spammed explosives and homing bullets out the ass against my shitty stock mecha, but once I realized that using the sword outside of his stagger actually worked completely fine and he can't even attack you with his 3k damage missile spam when you're that close, the poor guy went down in about a minute.
Finished chapter 1
Archer EMIYA killed me so I had to go back and upgrade my mech. Then in the same mission I had to fight a mech with a hula loop who flies around, he felt as difficult as how the reviewers described the first helicoptor boss. I had to play it like Sekiro and keep staggering him (the game designer is the Sekiro one so that's why it's similar). I sold all my pulse weapons though, it probably would've been easier if I had one to break his pulse shield faster.
gotta get slightly away to be efficient, also don't let overheat, you can wait a few seconds and the heat comes down faster than it takes it to recharge
Is it me or does the active homing missile back weapon absolutely not home like at all. The description makes it sound like it'll hunt after the target for a long time but it just doesnt seem to and just hits the ground if the target has any speed whatsoever.
Balteus specifically walled me, but now that I'm past him I'm aware that he can be murdered by hyper-aggression to the point of seeming suicidal. >Spin2Win sword >Pulse Gun >Twin-Link Missiles and Eight-Chamber Verticals
I finished him off by just never letting him breathe other than the phase transition AA.
Don't listen to controllers gay,
Kbm is the definitive way to play this, i can easily aim my camera which is great for manual aiming since the auto aim sucks ass
been using an xbox elite controller. my flight is on the left back paddle and my quick boost is on the right one, it feels comfortable. although this game being mostly a shooter kbm should be fine
Did any of you guys find hidden parts in missions yet? Haven't found shit and I've been scouring around. Just beat the big frick tank a few missions ago.
is it even possible to avoid all the missiles ?
it feels like you have to always get hit but at least a few everytime he does it
seems like you just have to kill him faster just to not get slowly drained by the missiles
Finally
I guess ammunition cost was what was gatekeeping me, not repair. Rather than try to no-hit I should have been trying to kill him as quickly as possible.
there's an OS upgrade that lets you put hand weapons on your shoulders and one of the tutorials has you play a tank dual wielding gatlings so there's that
Found a way to cheese it.
Go tank build with 15,000 health.
Dual wield pulse guns.
dual wield 8 missile launcher back unit
Tank can withstand the first barrage of missiles without getting stunned.
Spam missile launcher but keep track of you pulse usage so as not to go on cool down.
You literally don't need to dodge anything with this build, you can just keep stun locking the fricking homosexual throughout the fight.
GG EZ
Aiming to make a flying missle boat which has been doing ok so far but really struggle against enemies with PA seems to be a direct counter to all my missiles seemed to hammer through with the Curtis for the mobs but Balteus is putting a stop to that so I'm having a break for now and I'll think of a way to break through
Alright I love the game so far but isn’t the whole game cool down based? Your basic attack, your melee, is on a cooldown, and you just wait for it to be ready. It’s noticeable in battles like these
Tank threads. Double MG-014 LUDLOW on arms. Double VP-60LCS on back. Keep up the pressure and don't let up. Keep firing the machine guns while alternating fire with the laser cannons. Don't bother charging their shots. Get good stagger just by keeping the constant damaging going. Also easier to control the tank on this boss by flying, than trying to drive around.
We never would've even gotten any ac6 but here we are, ac series are very niche but they still revived it even though no one asked for and they would have just made eldenring 2 and made billion ez
they made this game with certain expectations in mind for sales and i can guarantee you they are being exceeded, from a pure numbers and install base standpoint this will be the highest selling AC ever
RE2 remake had like half that many peak users and sold like 3 million copies at launch. AC is a series that sold 1 million copies on like 2 games and the other 15 struggled to get 500k. You guys should really at least google shit before you shitpost.
Yikes not a good look. If that's all it can pull even with the Fromsoft hype train behind it then I doubt we'll even see DLC. Best to cut their losses and focus on whatever the next game will be.
Armored DOGSHIT Core VI is just a bastardization of the franchise with Reddit tier Souls bosses that are just annoying and unfair trial&error bullshit.

Are we just pretending like an entire decade of AC duels and boss fights from the original game until AC4 weren't just short booster hops in a triangle pattern
are we just pretending the average AC mission for like 10 years straight wasn't 2 minutes long with you walking through square rooms and featureless hallways and then shooting derpy slow moving walking turrets
I beat him. I learned absolutely nothing, just went in like a fricking gorilla until it eventually worked. I did not learn the proper way to dodge any attacks whatsoever and feel like I just fluked my way to victory. What a shitty feeling.
beating dark souls 1 is what gave everyone their elite gamer ego. so now whenever they struggle in a game they say "it's not me that's playing badly, the game is just badly designed!"
You want to use kbm in all From games
Aiming is better
Controlling the camera is better
You can customize your button layout and the shitty jump button
You can roll and use items while moving the camera
You can have so much better controls
I was cruising through this game, kicking bosses asses left and right... then comes along the motherfricking SPIDER
Shit started to piss me off, time to go to bed and try again in the morning
I finally got it below 50% HP and was surprised it didn't seem to have a phase 2. Turns out its phase 2 is at like 30% HP and instantly killed me. Frick this goddamn spider and frick the fact that I need to interact with the container every refight and especially frick it's three different types of laser shot with the same startup sound but different durations.
Bring a shotgun and the 8x missile launcher or two of those. The shotgun shreds his pulse shield. Spam missiles and shotguns at him, wait until after his missile/flamethrower attacks to close in and slash the pulse shield. Try and time it so that you can get a missile barrage plus sword slashes on him when he's staggered. Play it safe when he does the pulse explosion and in the last phase when he's got the flamethrower out. Also get the assault armor extension and equip that, it does a shitload of damage. He had like 10% health left and I was about to die when I popped the assault armor and won.
Before I play AC6 I want to play the other games first. Can I just go trough release order and emulate them or are there some that are remakes or should be skipped?
release order is good. only games worth skipping are Formula Front (psp game where you just build ai-controlled ACs to fight eachother) and Ninebreaker (basically just mgs vr training with nothing else)
Personally I'd recommend starting with some of the PS2 titles first to see if you really like the formula. Most of the stories are self contained or so minimalist it doesn't really matter and sometimes are decades or centuries apart, and the PS2 games are basically the same idea as the PS1 era games just with more QoL and better graphics. Mechanically they're practically identical, apart from a couple part types and weapon styles.
In my experience they all emulate really well, even on an old PC.
I love how people were saying this game is going to be an easy/effortless 15 hour game because you can just auto aim but now when people are actually playing it, they are getting filtered by act 1.
i had to give my funtank a sword which was fricked up, but i got him
now i can stop using "counters" and use real guns like 2 gatling guns, 2 grenade launchers and 10 rockets
It's supposed to be the stagger mechanic tutorial. You're supposed to stagger it then slash for massive damage. Sword also fills the stagger meter a lot, so rushing it down is viable.

He's there to teach you to wait for attack openings and change your build to something that works instead of complaining that you can't beat him with a handgun and the basic missile launcher by absorbing all his missiles with your face.
He forces you to get good at the game, and also forces you to try to experiment with weapons. It was the only fight that gave me so much trouble at that point, and it took me a few hours, but I could tangible feel that I was better at the game and understood it afterwards. I got him down with >Laser Handgun >Pulse Blade >Homing Missile >Vertical Plasma Missiles
The trick is to try to keep his attitude broken as often as possible, so he can't throw up his pulse shield and stall the fight. Get on him and stay on him. He's a ranged missile fricker, so if you stay as close to him as possible and just don't let up you'll have an easier time. The pulse blade is the real key to the fight. It does bonus damage to the pulse shield, does a ton of attitude damage when the shield is done, and it's pretty good at locking onto him when you're close. Also, understand that you don't have i-frames, so you need to actually avoid his missile patterns. A lot of them you can just dodge under, or strafe when you're in Assault Boost.
The personal trick I learned while fighting him is if you're right under an enemy you can just shove your missile launchers up his butthole and it does a ton of damage really quickly. The homing missile launcher is great for that. Its normal downside is that it takes forever to lock on despite its absurdly fast reload, but that's not a problem when your just firing them point blank. So you can do a ton of damage by just slamming rockets up his urethra.
So far, all of the major bosses are easier when you facefrick them like a roided chimpanzee. Being really aggressive, sticking close, and beating the shit out of them with melee. The pile bunker is amazing on the big, non-AC bosses..
I changed the head at some point along the way, but I haven't found a need to change shit. Maybe when le epic plot twist about the coral being the souls of the dead and the planet being an alien and everyone is an AI then I'll have to swap some parts out to beat the ass of the coralwitch obviously going to stab me in the back.
The only RNG I've felt from the bosses so far was with the starting helicopter boss because sometimes he'll decide to frick off beyond the area limits and spam shots from range at you until you die.
there is no rng
it starts endless rocket spam from oob on the last third of its health so really the only way to deal with it is to poise break right before it happens and burst it with melee and rockets
>it starts endless rocket spam from oob on the last third of its health
So it's intentionally fricking you if you don't manage to poise break it in time? I guess that makes sense thinking back on the times I did beat it, but that's fricked up. You're stuck with the starting mech and have to deal with that.
yes helicopter is a shit boss precisely for that - frick you third phase and heavily using the poise mechanic while the game never bothers explaining it
For Balteus, just use the bubble gun that breaks his shield. You really want his shield down ASAP because it gives you some breathing room from his attacks and you can beat the shit out of him for extra damage. The bubble gun itself does ok damage but runs out of ammo quick.
Why can't I rebind anything to the LT RT triggers? It just won't recognize them as buttons.
I want to switch shoulder weapons to triggers but it won't let me.
quickboost feels like a wet fart
i'm not expecting AC4A but how do you even use that shit, i can't dodge any of the bosses attacks i just have to ascend
If anyone did this mission, how the frick do you get down to that part? I tried going into the next area but there's no other way back into the building and I can't find a way down there from the room I'm in or the other one that had another part.
>just beat the whole wall mission with no repair kits used and skipping the refill >won with ammo to spare and only took like 2k AP in damage
feels good bros
Just a simple lightweight AC, maxed out mobility as much as I could and for weapons, left-hand is the basic laser blade, right-hand is a bazooka, both shoulders are the basic 4-cell missile launchers. I just dash around and use a combo of missiles+bazooka to insta-stagger most things and use laser blade to deal big damage once they're staggered. For the wall boss you even have time for another bazooka+missile volley if you time the stagger well.
My S rank runs consist of a lot of resets until I can basically get by the whole thing nearly unscathed.
Just finished the mission with the 2 bots that don't shut up.
Is there any evolution in the gameplay? Because it feels like I will do the same thing the entire game, does it get better?
I get that, but is there some kind of better mechanics? like limb damage or some kind of strat? some kind of weather system? So far all the bosses are just spam Q,E and guns to fill up the break bar, rush to melee and repeat
The differences come from new builds and adapting missions later on
The game is extremely easy until the end of chapter 1, The Wall is also very notable as a difficulty spike

The customization is the main selling point, there's a lot of mixing and matching to be had, especially so far as I'm in chapter 3 now
Is this boss even possible to do a no-hit run? I try to zoom past everything and while I minimize the damage from the missile barrage, I'll always get clipped.
>people said it's easier than Dark Souls or Sekio >met first boss >took me more than 10 attempts to defeat him
What the frick? It's much difficult than Miyazaki's games because it's not easy to notice which attack opponent used.
I'm still waiting for it to finish downloading, but personally, I'll be trying controller first
If the camera isn't good enough on controller I'll switch to kb+m, but I don't want to sacrifice analog movement if possible
I really wish that WASD were analog on keyboards.
Holy shit, I was having the worst time trying to unga my way through and it turns out I just wasn't unga-ing the right way, dual shotguns and dual 4x missile launchers made the fight an absolute cakewalk, I still had all 3 of my repair kits.
I feel like a shitter for getting fricked against the chopper for so many attempts, and then getting a B when I try a no death run.
Two questions, >when can I buy/unlock quad legs >is it possible to akimbo weapons like in 4 at some point or are they sticking to left hand being blade/melee only like older games?
>>when can I buy/unlock quad legs
after the 5th or 6th mission they appear in a training mode and in the shop >>is it possible to akimbo weapons like in 4 at some point or are they sticking to left hand being blade/melee only like older games?
yes, you can change out the blade for a gun any time you want.
You can get your quads pretty quickly after doing your training. You can akimbo weapons pretty much immediately. The melee weapons are only in the left hand, but you can get an upgrade that lets you kick for some alright damage. The kick is more limited in what it can do, though.
You get quad legs unlocked a few missions after operation wall imperative IIRC
You can definitely dual wield most weapons. Seems like at the point I'm at the only thing you can't dual wield is melee
The missiles aren't even the hard part, its the fricking cheeky cannon shots he sneaks in when you're completely blinded by missiles or he's warp speeded over your head. THOSE do like 1/2-1/3 of your health bar and have a fairly large AOE so he doesn't even have to hit you directly with them.
>coming in for a melee >get blasted by the missile, staggered >giant fricking wave of missiles come and delete half my HP in one sweep >all this in like 2 seconds
>working on a RG Zaku II >accidentally drop one of the little bead thingies for the tube on the legs on the floor >can't find it anywhere, my work desk area for gunpla is clean as frick on purpose so it's easy to find it >lose motivation because I'm missing one little bead
Damn that's rough >Working on RG Zgok >Everything goes swimmingly >put claws on hand >realize I put them in backwards, no big deal >realize that the claws are now very loose
This pretty much caused my hiatus because I feel like I keep fricking up even after all this time
>comparing 2 leg pieces >oh wow this 2nd one is objectively worse in every way >have to open the Y full details panel to see that it actually massively increases my jump distance
Feels like something they couldve squeezed into the immediately visible stat screen.
probably playing too careful, in elden ring you can avoid everything with precise dodging but for the helicopter aggression is definitely the best play
the fight probably won't click for a lot of people until they realize that zooming around far away from him and trying to take it easy shooting him with your dinky gun isn't the best play
In Elden Ring you can literally sneak to Margit without fighting the first true boss (Tree Sentinel) in like 5mins.
Most people probably wondering around and found Margit as the first boss
> a side dodge that immediately takes you into the air where you can't use it further
Are you pressing the wrong button or something
Try direction + B instead. Maybe your controls are reversed
Okay it was showing my Xbox controls while I am on PS5 controller and I just looked at the colors and though blue=X as in the bottom one not Xbox's left button
You don't have i-frames, so you have to actually avoid things. A lot of frames won't have a very good quick-boost because they're heavy or don't have the right legs. A lot of it comes down to timing and actually going in the right direction, though. Sometimes shots will still hit you because you dodged too early and the tracking compensates.
Old games used to have hard mode which is way more difficult than the normal default mode.
Not sure if this one will have hard mode because to unlock hard mode you need to finish the game. I still playing it now
I tried the first kinetic handgun and I didn't care for it. Hits hard and has good impact, but has no fricking ammo. It feels like you'll go empty on literally any mission. Even just fighting a boss.
The laser handgun is giga-based, though. Still hits really hard, has a charged three-round burst, decent impact, and has a ludicrous amount of ammo.
Do you guys think I'll like this game? I liked elden ring a lot because I felt like I got rewarded for being super aggressive by staggering bosses very often for big damage, I loved finding spots where I could hit them while they were mid-combo and it was super cool
Conversely I did not like sekiro very much because it always felt like I went "ok, hit hit hit, oh now it's the boss's turn to hit me, parry parry parry, ok now hit hit hit" and I thought that was kinda gay
Well what do you think?
What is the big cleaning robot weak to? Explosives? I brought a minigun and two vertical missile launchers and ran out of ammo entirely before I killed it despite aiming directly for its weak spots. Sword seems to do frick all to it.
I got to it with basically no missile ammo because i was moronic and thought ammo was infinite.
Got it to 1/10 hp then died to one missile volley.
Beat it next try.
>Best damage is smacking it with melee >Your rifle's not able to add any stagger, only keep it from decaying >Your missiles add stagger, but only so much and takes a bit to reload
So it's clear you missile it to stagger, using your gun to keep the bar from decaying, and then melee it once staggered for the kill right? >The boss and just fly out of the zone leaving you unable to melee it at all >How rapid it whips back and forth while being fully airborn fricks with some people's perspective and controls. >It's machineguns can stagger you. It's missiles WILL stagger you. It's cannons will just chunk you for 2/3'rd of your HP.
And because you can't do any customizing till after this fight, it really limits you towards adjusting for the fact that it can just leave the arena, and ensuring you only stagger it if it's inside, making sure you get your melee's off, and keeping the stagger gadge from decaying all without getting staggered and crunched yourself. That's honestly a lot at the dead start of the game, and it's clear it's a touch overturned when people still don't even know the ins and outs of just general controls.
you're pushing on it too hard, its programmed to keep distance from you. bait it back out by falling back a little bit and hiding behind a building until it flies back into range. or if that doesnt work try to get it to back up into the wall behind it when it spawns.
??? I dont get your logic here, how being an esl make the EN dub more annoying? I think being an actual native english speaker would allow you to read more nuance in performances and discern what is a quality voicework or not, since you are more accustomed in your day to day life to normal speak unlike an esl who would have the most contact with the language through media that tends to distort reality for entertainment, am i wrong?
I beat him after I changed my loadout to missile launchers on my back and kept spamming it since they can hit pretty consistently and shooting it with the rocket launcher whenever it's stunned or stationary. I had a sniper rifle on my other hand, but it feels like it didn't really do much.
he forced me to learn how the ricochet and warning mechanics work
after I noticed I was able to completely steamroll him only taking ~10% chip damage from the macross missile spam
I fricking loved the missile spam, so much fun
Use double pulse guns
Yeah this shit is genuinely impossible unless you have some specific build I'm currently unaware of. Total garbage boss design.
Get good
Why would I waste my time getting good at a boring empty game that will slowly turn me into a brainless fricking moron? You have achieved nothing. Get outside for once lol
Filtered
>buzzword response
You were filtered by the prospect of living a normal fulfilling life with friends and love. Sorry, anon. Now go fight that boss another 1000 times while you continue to waste away
You've been filtered and you're calling everyone else morons
How have I been filtered by something I didn't attempt to play? You are fricking dense kek
So then why are you whining about it
Oh right because that's all you're good for you useless ass crack
Just trying to save my fellow man from wasting time and effort on even more shallow Fromsoft garbage. You'd be thanking me if you could understand how much you've wasted, but you've never known better.
Yeah anon, it was the price tag that made me not buy the boring shit. That's it.
But hold on... Why are you guys here instead of playing your cool new game, anyway? Is it not as fun as you had hoped?
>Just trying to save my fellow man from wasting time and effort on even more shallow Fromsoft garbage. You'd be thanking me if you could understand how much you've wasted, but you've never known better
Wow you're such a hero anon wow I bet you get all the ladies
Yes. It really isn't hard when you don't spend all day rolling and hitting kek
Yeah I bet you do a lot of rolling around with your lard ass
projecting? I genuinely don't see where that connection came from unless from your own insecurities
All this just because you got filtered by a game you never played. Amazing.
homie, it's a video game. What kind of crack rocks are you smoking? How can you be morally invested in preventing people from playing a goddamn game? Touch grass.
>Why are you guys here instead of playing your cool new game, anyway? Is it not as fun as you had hoped?
it's 6 in the morning and I'm just browsing before bed.
>Filtered by $60
Kek what a b***h
Get good
Get laid
No get good homosexual
this is great, it's like 2012 again when they ported dark souls to PC and all the shitters couldn't cope with getting filtered
Why are fromtards happy when people don't like the shitty games lol
I'd be happier if you got good
Anon which is it, is a game being popular good or bad?
one of the "shitty games" by from is game of the decade
Why do you think I would want to play this in the first place? Have you followed the convo?
You are in the Armored Core thread
>Have you followed the convo?
the convo in which you whine like a baby and are told to get good? yes, I've been following
>get good
literally no other "defense" of this trash kek
Babby's first fromsoft game?
and again! hahaha Literally can't stop pretending
It's been like this since Dark Souls 3 and is not going to get better.
The devs have their excuse for making mediocre trash games and they will never let it go.
Nah they're great games, you just don't like it and that means it's bad apparently. You're an anti fun homosexual
No shit? You mean the place where you discuss a game don't play it?
Dude, just don't.
there are like half a dozen ravenous homosexuals on here that are spamming inane non-arguments on anyone who says anything negative about the game.
Just don't bother, they will literally evaporate like a fart in the wind in less than a week.
Some of them are probably literally getting paid to do this, it happens with any notable release.
Yes, you are right, it is boring and feels empty as shit, they are just being homosexuals.
>Some of them are probably literally getting paid to do this
Yes, I'm getting paid to make fun of you being bad at video games
>still pretending people who don't care for shit were filtered by it
There it is again. The one Fromsoft defense kek
no, get good moron
Get laid, homosexual
not until you get good
You really think this is clever, eh? No wonder you've never seen pussy
No wonder noone's ever seen you get good
>still going with one move
The mind of a dodge hitter in action hahaha
>still not getting good
have you considered just not sucking at the game?
lol You actually can't come up with anything else. God damn
You actually cannot get good. Srsly tho, why you so bad?
Holy frick kek Say it again! It's funny to see you use any excuse not to play the new game you claim to be so great
Do you even know where you are? Do you have brain damage or something? The "new game" here is making fun of you for sucking.
Right, meaning you'd rather do that than play your new game, meaning arguing is literally more fun to you than Armored Core is kek Who's the one with brain damage here?
I'm not arguing, I'm bullying you, because you suck and need to get good.
You thinkGIT GUD GIT GUD is bullying? hahahahahahaha Jesus Christ, man. You've clearly never been in a real confrontation in your life
In all fairness, you are having a bit of a meltdown anon.
>guy who doesn't know what bullying is also doesn't know what a meltdown is
Yep, sounds about right. Now tell me to git gud at the game I will never play kek
You spent a literal hour arguing with that guy about a game you don't even care about?
If you remember there's a decent chance any post you're reading is from a child or someone with legitimate mental illness this kind of bizarre behavior makes more sense.
like this one for instance
AC6 is literally the top selling game and you have people doomposting and doing the OH NO NO NO shtick without a hint of irony
>AC6 is literally the top selling game and you have people doomposting and doing the OH NO NO NO shtick without a hint of irony
Because if they admit they're wrong they have to admit they were coming here for weeks and spending hours of their life shitting on a game they had no intention of playing for absolutely no reason. At least if they cope by saying that it's still failing they're like 2 steps from killing themselves instead of 1.
I dunno, sounds like you're having a bit of a hissyfit meltdown because you can't handle a game being hard and being told to suck it up, and trying to convince yourself that everyone else is the fool.
Then why are you in a thread about a game, just to complain about a game you aren't playing? What is this weird mindset, are you getting paid by a different studio to shit on other games?
It would be like that if the guy didn't admit that he doesn't even play the game. Guy is in a thread about a game he doesn't play, talking about a boss he hasn't fought.
>Samegay btw
Sorry, schizo, but wrong again
>In a thread about a game he doesn't want to play.
Like why? You could be jerking off but you just can't leave people alone having fun.
>Why do you think I would want to play this in the first place? Have you followed the convo?
Fromgays behave like nindies anon
Unreasonable cult
>Yeah this shit is genuinely impossible unless you have some specific build
Isn't that the average Armored Core game?
A standard rifle and a shitty missile pod supplemented by a cheap laser blade was enough to beat 2/3rds off all AC missions across all the games. You were just killing shitty tanks, MTs, and helicopters in most of them.
the sword hits really hard
I just hit him with my sword until his hit points fell to zero and then moved on to chapter 2, but I imagine he's really hard to fight if your first instinct is to fight him at his optimal range, and your second instinct to every one of his attacks is to panic boost in a straight line away as if you think the missiles are just gonna get tuckered out and lay down to take a nap or something.
Skill issue.
His has a shield that will regenerate so you need to take weapons that can break it like the sword and a bazooka/grenade launcher.
Once the shield is broken attack with everything you have until it regenerate.
Always be aggressive so it doesn't have time to make his annoying missile attack.
bro it's just bloodborne with mechs not souls with mechs. you just play stupid dumb aggressive and stagger the boss down then jizz all your deeps down. even the quick boost looks like the quick step from bloodborne.
>game unlocks anti-pulse guns right before this mission
>oh gee willickers what am I gonna do against a boss with a pulse shield
Or just git gud and kill him with a sword and pistol like me.
Welcome to armored core
Try returning the game and then playing something with a design philosophy deeper than just being difficult. This screenshot alone shows everything the game has to offer kek
Nope thats the next boss fights with flashy energy melee weapons charging telegraphs
I think I'd mind less if it was possible to actually avoid the missiles entirely but there doesn't seem to be any trick to them.
Shoulder shields lol
This
>Oh this enemy attack is unavoidable
>IF ONLY THERE WAS A WAY TO NEGATE UNAVOIDABLE ATTACKS
you Black folk need to git gud srsly
Shields reduce incoming damage, not negate it you dumb ESL Black person
I've managed to avoid all damage by dashing behind then circling close.
The flame thrower sword attacks are what frick me up
Is the sound turning itself off or is it just me?
Me, difficult jump is too much man, he is tanky af
Almost dropping the game out of stress because of this boss, feelsbad
This boss will filter me
ate shit like 6 times, ended up hugging his ass and staying airborne while taking down pulse shield with missiles and machine gun, then doing big damage with the 2nd pulse sword. if you're above him he can't really do shit
How do you get second pulse sword, or do you mean you have 2 of them
I've been getting filtered by the chapter 2 boss. I'm calling it a night.
>40% have cleared balteus
Is Ganker just filled with shitters now? even casuals can beat balteus.
Those numbers are bugged. Community page has more accurate numbers.
I just got to the Wall but then I started replaying missions over and over going for S ranks, grabbing money, fricking around with new weapons and gear, because I just really like going for max ranks in games that rank your missions and it's also really fun slowly improving with how I handle my AC. Playing on KB+M and I actually really enjoy how precise aiming and moving feels but it takes a little getting used to.
Like with this mission where you're supposed to ignore the tetrapod-whatever it's called, I just got a linear rifle that allows for just enough EN load on my light-as-a-feather AC and that shit does a ton of stagger damage on charged shots so now I just need to not eat shit in terms of damage and I get my S rank. This shit is so fricking fun.
moron.
Is there anyway to consistently avoid missiles? I know at their peak they deal roughly 7K damage but I can't seem to get it lower than 1-2k
Reverse joint legs+ALULA/21E
I was taking 0-200 dmg.
I beat him second try. The trick is dual shotguns and dual quad missiles. Works every single time
Apparently the wave gun shreds his shield.
Shields really seem like a build filter unfortunately
I scan pretty often but I have never noticed a parts container, do they actually exist?
I never enjoyed boss fights
bosses are scary
You can do it, anon! Take heart, stay calm and learn from each attempt as much as you can.
oh i'm scary
>>I'll sink you all to the bottom of the ocean
Think about them as a spectacle. Bosses are mini-performances in a sense, both player and the boss are performing and creating experience together. Boss is a reward for going through level, not a punishment.
Just so you know training missions gives you parts
I don't mind hard but it just feels unreasonable
I don't want to go buy and equip two Pulse Guns just to shred his shields and cheese the fight with zero effort required, I want to actually overcome the boss and feel accomplished. Feels impossible to do so anyways since the attacks seem massively inconsistent to dodge
>I don't want to buy the mythril blade I want to beat the game with the iron short sword
Unfortunately that's not usually the case with these games you're supposed to do pvp. That's why arenas are always included. In the older games funds management was really important so you'd think they'd add something for doing it without dying once but I don't think that's a thing.
?
First of all what the frick does PvP have to do with anything. Second of all it's nothing like you're describing at all; it'd be like if the difference between Mythril and Iron was 1 dmg but the boss is specifically weak to Mythril only so you're just shit out of luck if you didn't buy one
Which is fine I guess but there's no opportunity to outplay or outskill and it's disappointing that the default answer is "loool just go buy the cheese weapons to utterly trivialize the boss"
Yeah. So I quit mission to do some replayd and go for kinetic build to get down shields faster
GIT
GUD
SCRUB
VIDEO GAMES ARE BACK BAYBEEEEEEE
I literally just beat it with the starting sword, laser handgun and 2 missile packs. I hate this boss
>You just have to accept getting chipped for 1/10th of your HP every missile volley
>Get close? Shotgunned.
>Stay far? You do no damage due to falloff.
>Occasional rocket spam for 2.5k damage
I've gotten him down to 20% but I don't feel like I've learned what I'm actually supposed to do in the slightest. I use a pulse gun with the spin saber, then the buckler and a laser cannon. I've tried a bunch of other setups and I just cannot get anything that feels reliable.
I did something similar to
but used a linear rifle instead of handgun. I used a generator with decent enough output and standard legs.
I also did some arena stuff to get Assault Armor and packed 2 charges of it, and whenever I buck broke him I let one off at close range*.
*Need to watch out for his frickoff big explosion at low health, may not want to AA then.
Seems to me far range has the most danger of the missile volley, but yeah honestly it's kind of bullshit getting chipped for so much damage no matter what. I can accept mech realism and it being an AC game, but I don't think being forced into a battle of attrition with a modern fromsoft boss is good design
I dodge the missiles by dodging in a circle towards/under them. If you're unlucky you'll take 1 or 2k damage, but if you get it right you'll take a few hundred at most. You can completely dodge the opening salvo this way
If you're having trouble with the 2.5k rocket, listen for the beeps. They're the only tell and if you can't hear it over the missiles then just die I guess because that's the only fricking signal they have.
Next you're gonna have to notice the faint smell of a fart in the wind in order to avoid a map nuke. Fricking hate tells that are "blink and you miss it", especially in fights where there's already plenty going on.
explosives just seem far better than kinetic and energy
>handles pulse shields fine
>big aoe to catch the light ACs or kill multiple mooks
>long effective range
>no ricochet
frickall ammo though
Bazookas actually have a shitload of ammo relative to the damage they dish out.
Didn't some journos say the game was too easy? How the hell is Ganker getting filtered?
Do keep in mind the early release "reviews" had builds with every single part unlocked and they could just pick their poison for whatever boss they were fighting.
Fromsoft has been shipping out gimped review copies for journalists for years. I forget which it was, but there was a glitch that let you get one game real early off the jp marketplace and it was a journalist review version that had the difficulty cranked way down.
This is normal for some other publishers too. Back when I had my own indie review site I would frequently get review builds that were slightly different to launch builds.
I can't do it. He's completely filtered me. Sorry I let you all down...
assuming it's like all the other garbage from games, have you tried dodge rolling and spamming r1?
>People are actually getting filtered
Heh, casuals. There's a couple bullshit bosses worse than him afterwards btw.
Yup. Literally just took a break from this fight to post it here.
I can handle the beefy health.
What I can't handle is the shield sporadically regenerating AND dealing damage to your AC whenever you're trying to sword swing the motherfricker.
jesus fricking christ this guy was hard. I feel like I'm missing something for dealing with the missiles but I was able to unga DPS this fricker down with 2 8x missile packs and the beam rifle+sword
now I come on here and see people filtered by the fricking helicopter what the frick
Helicopter definitely filtered me until I started doing a gorilla on it, very fun though
Same, trying to fight it at range like I thought was expected just resulted in my bullets ricocheting and doing worthless damage while he spammed explosives and homing bullets out the ass against my shitty stock mecha, but once I realized that using the sword outside of his stagger actually worked completely fine and he can't even attack you with his 3k damage missile spam when you're that close, the poor guy went down in about a minute.
Finished chapter 1
Archer EMIYA killed me so I had to go back and upgrade my mech. Then in the same mission I had to fight a mech with a hula loop who flies around, he felt as difficult as how the reviewers described the first helicoptor boss. I had to play it like Sekiro and keep staggering him (the game designer is the Sekiro one so that's why it's similar). I sold all my pulse weapons though, it probably would've been easier if I had one to break his pulse shield faster.
i hate this Black person, pulse guns feel like they do nothing to his shields even if im up his ass
gotta get slightly away to be efficient, also don't let overheat, you can wait a few seconds and the heat comes down faster than it takes it to recharge
Is it me or does the active homing missile back weapon absolutely not home like at all. The description makes it sound like it'll hunt after the target for a long time but it just doesnt seem to and just hits the ground if the target has any speed whatsoever.
I beat him first try with shotguns.
Balteus? More like BALL breasts LMAO
Yeah, same here. Shotgun and sword kill everything.
Balteus specifically walled me, but now that I'm past him I'm aware that he can be murdered by hyper-aggression to the point of seeming suicidal.
>Spin2Win sword
>Pulse Gun
>Twin-Link Missiles and Eight-Chamber Verticals
I finished him off by just never letting him breathe other than the phase transition AA.
unironically kys yourself if you are having trouble with videogames, you pathetic person
is it me or is the game really quiet by default?
The only thing thay filtering me is shutter, god game is laggy
How is the game on KB+M?
Or should I just play on a controller?
Don't listen to controllers gay,
Kbm is the definitive way to play this, i can easily aim my camera which is great for manual aiming since the auto aim sucks ass
KB+M is unironically superior
easier turning, easier wep firing, simple as
been using an xbox elite controller. my flight is on the left back paddle and my quick boost is on the right one, it feels comfortable. although this game being mostly a shooter kbm should be fine
Did any of you guys find hidden parts in missions yet? Haven't found shit and I've been scouring around. Just beat the big frick tank a few missions ago.
I think you need to scan to find them, but I can't be bothered to frick with it that much since I know they won't be all that great.
It could be like AC1 and all the literal best parts are hidden.
They look like this and this is the first one I've found.
Yeah, shotguns and sword kill everything.
There's a few in that level
is it even possible to avoid all the missiles ?
it feels like you have to always get hit but at least a few everytime he does it
seems like you just have to kill him faster just to not get slowly drained by the missiles
>still cant even S rank the trainee
Finally
I guess ammunition cost was what was gatekeeping me, not repair. Rather than try to no-hit I should have been trying to kill him as quickly as possible.
ITS OUT???
IS IT GOOD
Its kino and Fun, controls are so smooth
My only criticism is shuttering, hope they fix it soon and also please bring crossplay for pvp
If you're a fan of oldschool AC, it feels like an oldschool AC game.
Ehhh it feels more like 4, but yeah if you're a fan of AC it's gold
Textures are shit and the FOV is abysmal tho
Xbox 360 oldschool for sure
How do you import custom decal?
how to kill the chopper
spam charge melee and hide behind buildings, i got him second try doing that
whack it with the stick
finally beat batleus and still no back machine gun unlocked. please tell me there is one in the game, i need my quad machine gun build
there's an OS upgrade that lets you put hand weapons on your shoulders and one of the tutorials has you play a tank dual wielding gatlings so there's that
Found a way to cheese it.
Go tank build with 15,000 health.
Dual wield pulse guns.
dual wield 8 missile launcher back unit
Tank can withstand the first barrage of missiles without getting stunned.
Spam missile launcher but keep track of you pulse usage so as not to go on cool down.
You literally don't need to dodge anything with this build, you can just keep stun locking the fricking homosexual throughout the fight.
GG EZ
i cheesed him with a similar tank build. it seems just tanking his bs missle barrage and spamming him with heavy weapons is the way to go
REMINDER: IF YOU DID NOT USE TREADS THEN YOU DID NOT BEAT BALTEUS.
>ram into boss with treads, shoot with shotguns, shoot with back weapons, win
the zaku tank is dogshit
That's ez modo because you can just equip a gorillion missiles and win.
That's what mechs are for.
Weight limits are for nerds.
How's the music? Is it kino?
Aiming to make a flying missle boat which has been doing ok so far but really struggle against enemies with PA seems to be a direct counter to all my missiles seemed to hammer through with the Curtis for the mobs but Balteus is putting a stop to that so I'm having a break for now and I'll think of a way to break through
Eat my ASS
Dual LRM8s the BUTT laser sword and a shotgun
Went from struggling to one attempt. Don't be afraid to back out and hone your build.
>biped
You didn't beat the game
I like zipping around its fun
biped is Unironically harder
>treads and dps spammer steamrolling through the game.
This guy should have been Sulla and not a fricking soulless AI, what a waste of a cool bossfight.
I struggled a lot more with him than with Balteus, humorously enough
5 hours ago you all said the game was piss easy
I'm going to kill the worm right now. Easy so far.
>heavy biped
>RH bazzoka LH smg
>double 8x VLS
Last hit was a punch because I panicked and didnt realize my SMG ran out of ammo.
Missiles are an excellent way to get easy shield and stagger pressure on him.
Why does every mission start with aim assist mode disabled
In fact why is it even its own button? It should be a menu option.
did walter ever realize the coral had people's consciousness inside it? Would he have torched the coral anyway?
Yes lmao. I’m confident I’ll figure it out but I spent three hours just now trying to beat him and I have to go to bed. Lmao
Alright I love the game so far but isn’t the whole game cool down based? Your basic attack, your melee, is on a cooldown, and you just wait for it to be ready. It’s noticeable in battles like these
>I just wanted a callsign of my own...
YOU JUST WEREN'T TOUGH ENOUGH FOR THE SKIES
I feel kind of bad
I 100% expect someone to bring that up later on
>getting owned by a fricking helicopter of all things
is the game short? i dont want another massive game after finishing BG3 last night
Reviewers were saying around 15-20h
Tank threads. Double MG-014 LUDLOW on arms. Double VP-60LCS on back. Keep up the pressure and don't let up. Keep firing the machine guns while alternating fire with the laser cannons. Don't bother charging their shots. Get good stagger just by keeping the constant damaging going. Also easier to control the tank on this boss by flying, than trying to drive around.
anyone playing this shit on consoles? how’s xbox performance?
We're never getting an AC7 ever are we
We never would've even gotten any ac6 but here we are, ac series are very niche but they still revived it even though no one asked for and they would have just made eldenring 2 and made billion ez
This was probably being made while ER was already in production. I doubt the Souls dev team and AC dev team are identical.
they made this game with certain expectations in mind for sales and i can guarantee you they are being exceeded, from a pure numbers and install base standpoint this will be the highest selling AC ever
RE2 remake had like half that many peak users and sold like 3 million copies at launch. AC is a series that sold 1 million copies on like 2 games and the other 15 struggled to get 500k. You guys should really at least google shit before you shitpost.
We'll get an extension DLC at the bare minimum.
Yikes not a good look. If that's all it can pull even with the Fromsoft hype train behind it then I doubt we'll even see DLC. Best to cut their losses and focus on whatever the next game will be.
>DS3 peaked at 129k
>Sekiro peaked at 125k
Seems pretty good
torrent?
Just killed the worm, yea it's bullshit.
Armored DOGSHIT Core VI is just a bastardization of the franchise with Reddit tier Souls bosses that are just annoying and unfair trial&error bullshit.
It's clear that Fromsoftware lost track of how to make good games after Elden DOGSHIT Ring
>healing items
>combat is nothing but dashing (rolling) non stop while getting in 1-2 shots between the bosses "pattern"
>movement is even more spastic than 4 or 5
>checkpoints
>death has no consequences
Fromsoftware officially became Reddit
Bloodborne & Sekiro > DaS2:SOTFS > DaS & DeS > DaS3 > Elden DOGSHIT Ring > Armored Bore VI

Are we just pretending like an entire decade of AC duels and boss fights from the original game until AC4 weren't just short booster hops in a triangle pattern
Good job ignoring the rest of the post or how I also criticized 4 and 5 gen
>Filtered
>by casualized elden dogshit rollslop wannabe AC
of course the 6sperm zoomoid uses "muh filtered"
Are we just pretending every player didn't just reload their save if they died in a mission to avoid losing ~30k credits or whatever
>cheating

you are the ones seething at the truth
Miyazaki is a parasite and hack who sold out for easy bucks

Lmao
What drives a man to this sort of madness?

He's a ninja gayden gay that got filtered by Elden Ring.
Looks like he got filtered by ACVI too
bandwagoners
What's with FromSoft and so many schizos latching on to discussions of their games?
giting gud mentality has destroyed them and I wouldn't be surprised if they are Shazamposters themselves.
glad you are seething
clown lol
I beat him. I learned absolutely nothing, just went in like a fricking gorilla until it eventually worked. I did not learn the proper way to dodge any attacks whatsoever and feel like I just fluked my way to victory. What a shitty feeling.
I RIKE SORD
IT IS A PERSONAL WEAPON

Was there this much whining when Demon Souls or Dark Souls 1 first came out?
Capra demon b***hing was worse, imo. It's still only the first day of release, though.
beating dark souls 1 is what gave everyone their elite gamer ego. so now whenever they struggle in a game they say "it's not me that's playing badly, the game is just badly designed!"

I just finished DLing the game, should I use my ol' reliable classic Xbox controller like with souls games or M+KB like a fps ?
kb+m feels good, give it a shot
OK thanks bros, see you in the arena.
This is the first from game where you want to use kb+m.
You want to use kbm in all From games
Aiming is better
Controlling the camera is better
You can customize your button layout and the shitty jump button
You can roll and use items while moving the camera
You can have so much better controls
Index fingers are hurting with controller
Frick Balteus where are my homies getting filtered by goddamn SEA SPIDER at?
I was cruising through this game, kicking bosses asses left and right... then comes along the motherfricking SPIDER
Shit started to piss me off, time to go to bed and try again in the morning
I finally got it below 50% HP and was surprised it didn't seem to have a phase 2. Turns out its phase 2 is at like 30% HP and instantly killed me. Frick this goddamn spider and frick the fact that I need to interact with the container every refight and especially frick it's three different types of laser shot with the same startup sound but different durations.
I had to go Pile Bunker for that piece of shit
Am I ready to climb the Wall?
I'm only getting filtered by him because he keeps crashing my fricking game
Finally did it, used dual pulse guns and dual back shotguns
That shit was actually blood pumping what the frick
I am on the mission where there are multiple stealth whip using enemies. Love the atmosphere of this one tbh.
I hate him so much
Bring a shotgun and the 8x missile launcher or two of those. The shotgun shreds his pulse shield. Spam missiles and shotguns at him, wait until after his missile/flamethrower attacks to close in and slash the pulse shield. Try and time it so that you can get a missile barrage plus sword slashes on him when he's staggered. Play it safe when he does the pulse explosion and in the last phase when he's got the flamethrower out. Also get the assault armor extension and equip that, it does a shitload of damage. He had like 10% health left and I was about to die when I popped the assault armor and won.
Why is this game so much fricking fun? Everything feels so satisfying to do
post some emblem designs
Before I play AC6 I want to play the other games first. Can I just go trough release order and emulate them or are there some that are remakes or should be skipped?
Outdated guide. Most of the graphical issues are fixed for the PS2 games on emulation, and FA emulates great now as long as you have a decent CPU.
just ignore this part? I played 9 of them this year and found this guide 100% accurate about difficulty, tips etc
I'd put 2nd gen more at medium difficulty. Never really found it as hard as people were saying.
release order is good. only games worth skipping are Formula Front (psp game where you just build ai-controlled ACs to fight eachother) and Ninebreaker (basically just mgs vr training with nothing else)
Personally I'd recommend starting with some of the PS2 titles first to see if you really like the formula. Most of the stories are self contained or so minimalist it doesn't really matter and sometimes are decades or centuries apart, and the PS2 games are basically the same idea as the PS1 era games just with more QoL and better graphics. Mechanically they're practically identical, apart from a couple part types and weapon styles.
In my experience they all emulate really well, even on an old PC.
Skip 5 entirely. Holy shit those games are bad, but theyre even worse coming off the best game, For Answer.
I love how people were saying this game is going to be an easy/effortless 15 hour game because you can just auto aim but now when people are actually playing it, they are getting filtered by act 1.
my balls are so blue fighting this bastard he keeps crashing my game
>Getting filtered BY AN HELICOPTER

H-has that always been there?
was I supposed to do something special for the tutorial boss? I just kept flying at it like a maniac and slashing it. seems moronic but uh it worked
It's supposed to be the stagger mechanic tutorial. You're supposed to stagger it then slash for massive damage. Sword also fills the stagger meter a lot, so rushing it down is viable.
Rush down beats everything just like in Street Fighter so do that.
Before I buy this can someone confirm if there are waifus in this game? If it weren't for waifus I would not have persevered through Elden Ring...
There's waifus in heaven, have a nice day.
Some of the MT pilots are female
There are disembodied female voices like every other Armored Core game
I fear that you'll have to create your own in game, anon. May the autism be with you.

The waifus are the mechs
if you wouldn't your mech then I am afraid you are GAY
If you're not here to frick the robots, you're in the wrong place

basic SMG and sword build fricked him up
Asmonbald just beat this boss with a fricking tank build and you homosexuals are crying about how hard it is. Absolutely disgusting
Why is the magnet link from the pirate thread different from the one in PiratBit?
Too many parts and not enough moneys, goddamn

I've only seen them in one mission. Are they in every mission? I've dug through the place and can't find shit.
i'm honestly not sure, but replaying missions for money would be a good chance to find out
I wasn't that anon and I don't need money. Shotgun + sword is all I need.

wanna be my girlfriend?
you can give me the controller when it gets too hard for you
balteus is complete bullshit
He's there to teach you to wait for attack openings and change your build to something that works instead of complaining that you can't beat him with a handgun and the basic missile launcher by absorbing all his missiles with your face.
tell me how to dodge his stun missile then
Just spam boosts and wait for the audio queue to dodge that nasty single shot that insta stuns you
Dodge up and into him or just circle him and dodge?
Circle and dodge, at times it almost feels like DS1 circle strafing
its not possible to dodge that missile, its literally rng
i dodged it in my guntank regularly
it comes from his right, so drive left and then drift right last second
What he taught me was that all you need to breeze through the game is a sword and a shotgun.
Black person
He forces you to get good at the game, and also forces you to try to experiment with weapons. It was the only fight that gave me so much trouble at that point, and it took me a few hours, but I could tangible feel that I was better at the game and understood it afterwards. I got him down with
>Laser Handgun
>Pulse Blade
>Homing Missile
>Vertical Plasma Missiles
The trick is to try to keep his attitude broken as often as possible, so he can't throw up his pulse shield and stall the fight. Get on him and stay on him. He's a ranged missile fricker, so if you stay as close to him as possible and just don't let up you'll have an easier time. The pulse blade is the real key to the fight. It does bonus damage to the pulse shield, does a ton of attitude damage when the shield is done, and it's pretty good at locking onto him when you're close. Also, understand that you don't have i-frames, so you need to actually avoid his missile patterns. A lot of them you can just dodge under, or strafe when you're in Assault Boost.
The personal trick I learned while fighting him is if you're right under an enemy you can just shove your missile launchers up his butthole and it does a ton of damage really quickly. The homing missile launcher is great for that. Its normal downside is that it takes forever to lock on despite its absurdly fast reload, but that's not a problem when your just firing them point blank. So you can do a ton of damage by just slamming rockets up his urethra.
So far, all of the major bosses are easier when you facefrick them like a roided chimpanzee. Being really aggressive, sticking close, and beating the shit out of them with melee. The pile bunker is amazing on the big, non-AC bosses..
does the pile bunker have limited ammo in this
Nope. Infinite use. You have to hold it down to do the meaty blast, though.
i haven't changed the default mech and i don't intend to cause i'm lazy. He will fall regardless.
I changed the head at some point along the way, but I haven't found a need to change shit. Maybe when le epic plot twist about the coral being the souls of the dead and the planet being an alien and everyone is an AI then I'll have to swap some parts out to beat the ass of the coralwitch obviously going to stab me in the back.
The only RNG I've felt from the bosses so far was with the starting helicopter boss because sometimes he'll decide to frick off beyond the area limits and spam shots from range at you until you die.
there is no rng
it starts endless rocket spam from oob on the last third of its health so really the only way to deal with it is to poise break right before it happens and burst it with melee and rockets
>it starts endless rocket spam from oob on the last third of its health
So it's intentionally fricking you if you don't manage to poise break it in time? I guess that makes sense thinking back on the times I did beat it, but that's fricked up. You're stuck with the starting mech and have to deal with that.
yes helicopter is a shit boss precisely for that - frick you third phase and heavily using the poise mechanic while the game never bothers explaining it
Pulse shield is telling me I should stop wasting my time with the beginner rifle lmao what did everyone else use to beat him I'm done for the night.
For Balteus, just use the bubble gun that breaks his shield. You really want his shield down ASAP because it gives you some breathing room from his attacks and you can beat the shit out of him for extra damage. The bubble gun itself does ok damage but runs out of ammo quick.
>mfw I realize how S-Ranking Balteus will go
am i late bros? do you all post dem emblems already?
what Generator/Thruster combo are people using? i cant seem to keep my mobility up to dodge all its attacks.
I'm using that one chinese gas generator that's surprisingly efficient
the Ming-Tang? at this point i'll try anything.
so the battle log for attack the dam complex. what's the deal. swore I did the most damage to the ac + got the last hit but no log
How do you even view the log? I don't see it in the garage
I got the same, even repeated the mission twice but still no battle log from the dam mission.
any way to increase pistol ammo?
Why can't I rebind anything to the LT RT triggers? It just won't recognize them as buttons.
I want to switch shoulder weapons to triggers but it won't let me.
quickboost feels like a wet fart
i'm not expecting AC4A but how do you even use that shit, i can't dodge any of the bosses attacks i just have to ascend
Swap your booster out.
i have, it still sucks
If anyone did this mission, how the frick do you get down to that part? I tried going into the next area but there's no other way back into the building and I can't find a way down there from the room I'm in or the other one that had another part.
Once again Ganker is exposed as filthy casuals who don't actually play games
>just beat the whole wall mission with no repair kits used and skipping the refill
>won with ammo to spare and only took like 2k AP in damage
feels good bros
I kneel. What's your build?
Just a simple lightweight AC, maxed out mobility as much as I could and for weapons, left-hand is the basic laser blade, right-hand is a bazooka, both shoulders are the basic 4-cell missile launchers. I just dash around and use a combo of missiles+bazooka to insta-stagger most things and use laser blade to deal big damage once they're staggered. For the wall boss you even have time for another bazooka+missile volley if you time the stagger well.
My S rank runs consist of a lot of resets until I can basically get by the whole thing nearly unscathed.
oh shit it's white lint
do you get parts for S ranking stuff?
what were the mission S-rank requirements again? i didn't look at the tip box before closing it.
>unlock the spread bazooka
>still worse than the grenade cannons
>coral
Wait a fricking second, this is just Eureka 7
>Finally beat SEA SPIDER
>End of mission cutscene starts

>Computer turns off
I'm putting this game down until next week when they fix the crashes, my balls have never been bluer
Somehow I miraculously first tried the boss after turning my computer back on, but if it crashed again I would've been absolutely seething.
Just finished the mission with the 2 bots that don't shut up.
Is there any evolution in the gameplay? Because it feels like I will do the same thing the entire game, does it get better?
the mech shooting game is mostly shooting mechs with mechs
I get that, but is there some kind of better mechanics? like limb damage or some kind of strat? some kind of weather system? So far all the bosses are just spam Q,E and guns to fill up the break bar, rush to melee and repeat
You'll see by the end of chapter one
I'm near my refund window, just tell me
The differences come from new builds and adapting missions later on
The game is extremely easy until the end of chapter 1, The Wall is also very notable as a difficulty spike
If mech combat doesn't interest you then there's no foul play in refunding fren
I was always more of a mechwarrior homosexual, this game isn't really mech to me, replace every characters by ninjas and it's the same thing
good to know the game is hard enough to force you to adapt and change builds though
The customization is the main selling point, there's a lot of mixing and matching to be had, especially so far as I'm in chapter 3 now
it's like a barbie dressup game but for boys!
And that's a good thing
doesnt change, im at chapter 3 and the whole game is a stagger race
It's amazing how AC6 is filtering non-whites so badly.
More importantly, is it fun?
this game should have had partbreaks
Yeah I loved when an AC got above me and blew my head off
Is this boss even possible to do a no-hit run? I try to zoom past everything and while I minimize the damage from the missile barrage, I'll always get clipped.
I don't think it's possible to do a no-hit run on this boss, and it sure as shit is not possible on the boss at the end of chapter 2.
>people said it's easier than Dark Souls or Sekio
>met first boss
>took me more than 10 attempts to defeat him
What the frick? It's much difficult than Miyazaki's games because it's not easy to notice which attack opponent used.
use the esktus
Are you using kbm or controller?
kbm, I tried controller but it's shit
Why?
I mean mine won't recognize the triggers and the dpad direction are flipped for no reason, but other than that?
I'm used to 4a controls. You can't fire 4 weapons and aim at the same time
I'm still waiting for it to finish downloading, but personally, I'll be trying controller first
If the camera isn't good enough on controller I'll switch to kb+m, but I don't want to sacrifice analog movement if possible
I really wish that WASD were analog on keyboards.
Holy shit, I was having the worst time trying to unga my way through and it turns out I just wasn't unga-ing the right way, dual shotguns and dual 4x missile launchers made the fight an absolute cakewalk, I still had all 3 of my repair kits.
I feel like a shitter for getting fricked against the chopper for so many attempts, and then getting a B when I try a no death run.
Two questions,
>when can I buy/unlock quad legs
>is it possible to akimbo weapons like in 4 at some point or are they sticking to left hand being blade/melee only like older games?
>>when can I buy/unlock quad legs
after the 5th or 6th mission they appear in a training mode and in the shop
>>is it possible to akimbo weapons like in 4 at some point or are they sticking to left hand being blade/melee only like older games?
yes, you can change out the blade for a gun any time you want.
You can get your quads pretty quickly after doing your training. You can akimbo weapons pretty much immediately. The melee weapons are only in the left hand, but you can get an upgrade that lets you kick for some alright damage. The kick is more limited in what it can do, though.
You get quad legs unlocked a few missions after operation wall imperative IIRC
You can definitely dual wield most weapons. Seems like at the point I'm at the only thing you can't dual wield is melee
>beat Balteus
>can buy gatling guns and the pile bunker
absolutely worth it too bad that boss ate so much of my time that I need to go to bed
oh the strider mission is a shitty platformer
The missiles aren't even the hard part, its the fricking cheeky cannon shots he sneaks in when you're completely blinded by missiles or he's warp speeded over your head. THOSE do like 1/2-1/3 of your health bar and have a fairly large AOE so he doesn't even have to hit you directly with them.

Does the Sazabi RG have issues holding it's own weight? I built the HG version and the fricker is a b***h to balance when I put it on a gunpla stand.
it's really solid
Controller or KBM
When does the game get hard? Just climbed the wall and beat the boss first try
>comparing 2 leg pieces
>oh wow this 2nd one is objectively worse in every way
>have to open the Y full details panel to see that it actually massively increases my jump distance
Feels like something they couldve squeezed into the immediately visible stat screen.
They didn't want to scare off normals with too many numbers
is it hard because you never played it or because its a fromsoft game that isn't dark souls?
shut the frick up pussies
Is there any way to make upload an image on my computer as a decal?
Will balteus be considered the Margit of this game? Or maybe the helicopter people are apparently getting filtered by
Idk how people are getting filtered by the tutorial helicopter but manage to reach margit without shitting their pants.
probably playing too careful, in elden ring you can avoid everything with precise dodging but for the helicopter aggression is definitely the best play
the fight probably won't click for a lot of people until they realize that zooming around far away from him and trying to take it easy shooting him with your dinky gun isn't the best play
In Elden Ring you can literally sneak to Margit without fighting the first true boss (Tree Sentinel) in like 5mins.
Most people probably wondering around and found Margit as the first boss
Why does quick boost feel like it does nothing? Left stick in a direction + X feels like it isn't even meant to dodge.
What are you talking about? It's very noticeable. You're not mixing up quick dodge with just turning on boost are you?
Does it only work on the ground because a side dodge that immediately takes you into the air where you can't use it further feels terrible right now
> a side dodge that immediately takes you into the air where you can't use it further
Are you pressing the wrong button or something
Try direction + B instead. Maybe your controls are reversed
Okay it was showing my Xbox controls while I am on PS5 controller and I just looked at the colors and though blue=X as in the bottom one not Xbox's left button
You don't have i-frames, so you have to actually avoid things. A lot of frames won't have a very good quick-boost because they're heavy or don't have the right legs. A lot of it comes down to timing and actually going in the right direction, though. Sometimes shots will still hit you because you dodged too early and the tracking compensates.
What does aim assist even do? I can't tell any difference on kbm
are starter weapons supposed to do dogshit damage or this will be a common theme even later on?
nah, all your starter gear is absolute dogshit. thats been a series staple. as soon as you get to the shop you'll get access to way better equipment.
>almost beat heli first attempt but he went out of bounds while staggered and my melee couldnt reach
le ebin
>loading checkpoint heals you and refills your ammo
kinda lame tbh
>checkpoints make the game lame and easy
meanwhile people still getting filtered by bosses in normal mode
I don't really mind the checkpoints, but at least don't heal me or reward me for not managing my ammo correctly.
Old games used to have hard mode which is way more difficult than the normal default mode.
Not sure if this one will have hard mode because to unlock hard mode you need to finish the game. I still playing it now
>Die on operation wallclimber 3 times before I realized the boss started dropping mines
The only thing this game is missing is coop. Loved daemon for it.
Redpill me on handguns
I tried the first kinetic handgun and I didn't care for it. Hits hard and has good impact, but has no fricking ammo. It feels like you'll go empty on literally any mission. Even just fighting a boss.
The laser handgun is giga-based, though. Still hits really hard, has a charged three-round burst, decent impact, and has a ludicrous amount of ammo.
Lmao imagine being worse than a vtuber.
Imagine watching this eceleb shit
>cute dicky being good at games
>eceleb
LOL
Literally have a nice day.
Still fighting the helicopter?
No. I beat it in one try. Still wishing you were a woman?
Thinking about mutilated freaks 24/7 lol. You homosexuals are so funny.
Sorry nobody wants to jerk you off for watching some b***h get their paycheck like you were expecting I guess.
>it's ok when my favorite prostitute does it
The absolute state of Ganker
i know right, what kind of weirdo watches cute girls playing armored core
Dumbasses mostly. Stop pretending you have a girlfriend and play it yourself.
if you're having trouble with the Helicopter. stop trading shots with it. melee it. its weak to saber attacks.
Do you guys think I'll like this game? I liked elden ring a lot because I felt like I got rewarded for being super aggressive by staggering bosses very often for big damage, I loved finding spots where I could hit them while they were mid-combo and it was super cool
Conversely I did not like sekiro very much because it always felt like I went "ok, hit hit hit, oh now it's the boss's turn to hit me, parry parry parry, ok now hit hit hit" and I thought that was kinda gay
Well what do you think?
>bazooka
You didn't beat the game.
What is the big cleaning robot weak to? Explosives? I brought a minigun and two vertical missile launchers and ran out of ammo entirely before I killed it despite aiming directly for its weak spots. Sword seems to do frick all to it.
use your vertical missiles on the smokestack, they'll fly right in. then just shotgun the frick out of the face while its down.
Damn the shotgun is just the designated anti boss weapon I guess
i have yet to meet a boss fight that cant be solved by two shotguns to the face.

Classic souls moment
did people actually get filtered by the tutorial helicopter boss?
I got to it with basically no missile ammo because i was moronic and thought ammo was infinite.
Got it to 1/10 hp then died to one missile volley.
Beat it next try.
>Best damage is smacking it with melee
>Your rifle's not able to add any stagger, only keep it from decaying
>Your missiles add stagger, but only so much and takes a bit to reload
So it's clear you missile it to stagger, using your gun to keep the bar from decaying, and then melee it once staggered for the kill right?
>The boss and just fly out of the zone leaving you unable to melee it at all
>How rapid it whips back and forth while being fully airborn fricks with some people's perspective and controls.
>It's machineguns can stagger you. It's missiles WILL stagger you. It's cannons will just chunk you for 2/3'rd of your HP.
And because you can't do any customizing till after this fight, it really limits you towards adjusting for the fact that it can just leave the arena, and ensuring you only stagger it if it's inside, making sure you get your melee's off, and keeping the stagger gadge from decaying all without getting staggered and crunched yourself. That's honestly a lot at the dead start of the game, and it's clear it's a touch overturned when people still don't even know the ins and outs of just general controls.
Just get bazookas they stagger instantly if you hit
why does every weapon feels like shit except the sword
What the frick is with the tutorial boss? It keeps going outside of the fricking arena and I get stopped by invisible walls. This isn't fricking fair.
lure it into a more central area and overboost stab it to death
That's what I'm trying to do, but this is just fricking stupid. If the invisible walls weren't blocking me, it'd be dead at least three times.
you're pushing on it too hard, its programmed to keep distance from you. bait it back out by falling back a little bit and hiding behind a building until it flies back into range. or if that doesnt work try to get it to back up into the wall behind it when it spawns.
>every single boss encounter devolves into hugging them because they have no way to hit you
amazing
>He still didn't beat chapter 3
Just wait until you fight Zanzibot
Imagine being worse at bideo games than a little girl.
Imagine being worse than a girl at video games.
Imagine being worse than a fricking VTUBER at video games.
Ganker is fricking embarrassing.
>little girl
Anon that's a grown woman pretending to be a little girl to rid morons like you of their money
>half Thai
She's a little woman.
>soulsgays when they encounter an actual challenge they can't cheese or grind their way through
Can be cheesed with the right build instead of overleveling strength and hp with the goofy big sword
There's already videos on how to cheese Balteus
I've also seen "meta build" videos in my recommended and I'm honestly at a loss for words
Really feeling iffy about some of the choices in the english dub, Sulla sounds like such a homosexual in english compared to jp
How is it in jap? I like the wienery attitude of the english VA.
In fact i think the english dub is not bad at all, but im esl so maybe it just sounds wrong for natives.
If you're an ESL you'd naturally find the english dub unbearable. Just have a nice day at this point.
??? I dont get your logic here, how being an esl make the EN dub more annoying? I think being an actual native english speaker would allow you to read more nuance in performances and discern what is a quality voicework or not, since you are more accustomed in your day to day life to normal speak unlike an esl who would have the most contact with the language through media that tends to distort reality for entertainment, am i wrong?
Frick corpos. Liberation front will free rubicon from you mercenary dogs
aerial combat is complete dogshit
I'm loving this game bros. It's kicking my ass, but in a fun way 🙂
I beat him after I changed my loadout to missile launchers on my back and kept spamming it since they can hit pretty consistently and shooting it with the rocket launcher whenever it's stunned or stationary. I had a sniper rifle on my other hand, but it feels like it didn't really do much.
how's my supplice lol
needs more dakka
The tutorial level really is a filter for journos, huh
he forced me to learn how the ricochet and warning mechanics work
after I noticed I was able to completely steamroll him only taking ~10% chip damage from the macross missile spam
I fricking loved the missile spam, so much fun
