Armored Core 6 is officially From Software's fourth most successful game at 2.9 million copies sold currently. It beat Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne in general success. And it is only behind Dark Souls 3, Sekiro and Elden Ring.
How did things go SO RIGHT for a long dead IP from a decade ago brought back into current day?

Don't they both gang up on you? Rarely do I see them fight each other.
Genuinely, for losing to me so many times. A true hero
Not a hero, but the best male character in the game. Walter, Rusty and Michigan can't stop getting BTFO'd by Snail.
I AM ARQUEBUS
Every time.
Lol why do Gankertards always find themselves relating to the seething moron characters
Probably because the notion lives inside your head rent free, may I add
Its a meme you dip
honesty is the best policy
Iguazu is the seething moron in this game
Snail's more like the seething autist
Ok snail
you are right
Snail was a homosexual, Red and Michigan are best characters.
narcisist who thinks he is hot shit and gets BTFO,what hero dood.
t. Snail
Pretty impressive they got that many morons to buy their kusoge.
I thought that term was only used for Western games.
It's any half-assed game, most especially jap ones.
How is Armored core 6 a half-assed game?
it's not he's a seething moron
It's a brain dead action game with a phoned in story.
By casualizing it so journalist wouldn't be completely filtered this time. (They still got filtered)
>stagger
>hard-lock
>right
Whatever they released after elden ring was guaranteed massive sales just from the success of elden ring.
It was pretty smart to drop a diff IP and make tons of money.
Then they can do an elden ring sequel to double profit off elden rings successful name.
Smart business really. I would imagine 90% of the buyers just fell for the hype and branding. I expect the next one to sell terribly.
>buttflustered tendie pretends not to be mad
oh dear....
>It was pretty smart to drop a diff IP and make tons of money.
It was a complete fluke that happened. they didnt think ER would be very successful
ER had a gargantuan marketing push, buddy.
No it didnt lmao
I literally never saw a single ad for the game anywhere
They arent making an Elden Ring sequel though
It will just get the expansion and thats it
Miyazaki already said in 2022 that he has no interest in just repeating the open world formula just because it sold well, that ERs success has no influence on what he will make next, that it will just continue to be different things he wants to try out
So we could literally get anything next, could be a Souls battle royale like he once said he wanted to make. Though for that they would have to invent good netcode for the first time in Japans history.
>Miyazaki already said in 2022 that he has no interest in just repeating the open world formula just because it sold well
source?
>Miyazaki already said in 2022 that he has no interest in just repeating the open world formula just because it sold well
Never believe Japanese developers.
>They arent making an Elden Ring sequel though
>It will just get the expansion and thats it
LMFAO
>t-they said
kids.
I beat it and thought it was dull. Still looking forward to the Elden Ring DLC but won't bother with another AC.
>I would imagine 90% of the buyers just fell for the hype and branding. I expect the next one to sell terribly.
yea thats what happened before: ds1 comes out, everyone hypebuys acv without knowing what they are getting into, acvd sells like shit because normalgays already scared off then ip dead for 10 years.
Amazing news that far exceeds my expectations.
You can sense the seething from the other side of the monitor.
They won't make another Elden Ring, the DLC will be a big expansion and that's it.
The objective of From Software has been that of self publishing their own games for a few years now so I doubt they would keep making games for other companies forever, I think the next big one is gonna be a new IP they self publish.
You can find the webms in the AC threads, shill.
I expect them to make another Souls game, it's easy money like you said, but they have so many options. They could do sequels to Demon's, Bloodborne, Sekiro, or they could make another new IP. They could go back to other older franchises like King's Field or Echo Night. They have a lot of elbow room before trying to make Dark Souls 4 (which ER already kinda was).
Didn't Miyazaki say they pretty much finished the Dark Souls story? I mean I'm not even sure where you'd go from 3 now you know all the beats, unless maybe you go play in the beginning of the cycle as a young Lord or something.
Though honestly Elden Ring being just another turn in the cycle would make a lot of sense.
I don't give a rats ass about soulsshit though.
And ER was succesfull because of Sekiro. Sejuri was succesful because of DaS3. DaS3 was succesful because of DaS2 and so on.
Is it too hard to admit they are good at making games?
Granted I haven't paid much attention to it, but I have yet to see anyone post a single webm of gameplay. What's it even play like?
You can just go to youtube and look up gameplay. Do you really need to get all your gaming knowledge from this place?
I guess it's not actually that good then, alright I'll go and use my money to buy Starfield instead. A real AAA game.
ill make a webm for you for the lols.
Now to think of it though, il make some actual decent webms sometime later.
here
Music fits webm!
frick man they completely neutered Balteus.
you don't even have to qb anymore to avoid any rockets. this genuinely makes this game drop from an 8/10 to a 7/10 for me.
Snailteus laser spin deserved that nerf way more than anything Balteus can do
Balteus, the enforcer and the semen spider all are too easy now. I can do them without os chips.
I'd like to be able to revert to post update settings without having to reinstall the whole game using the disc please.
For me, I think if they had put hardlock behind a more obvious easy difficulty option this would be a 9/10. As it is hardlock is basically baby mode for controller users and it removes half the challenge of the game, as no enemy can really outmaneuver you. The implementation of it really brings it down to an 8/10 for me. Still love the game, but it's just such a stupid decision in a game that ought to require you to try to keep track of your opponents.
It's basically a gundam game that we never got and never will.
it's bretty gud
MGs are fast frickers weakness, a ludlow and nightfall ate it, im bringin my same setup to ibis
If you like DS you wont like this. Its arena stages, with not a lot of exploration or linear stages with not a lot of exploration. They are all short. The core of the gameplay is the mech customization and arena combat.
FromSoft bruteforced it, releasing it right after their Elden Ring hype. Still impressive though, never see an IP this obscure got this treatment and actually doing well.
And at least 90% of those units sold are people who thought this was a soulslike. Kek
Their fault for keep thinking that way, even after the devs themselves said it's not a Soulslike so many times prior to release.
>already dead
this proves that fromdrones only care about souls games
the all time versus 24 hour peaks with ER are close to the same ratio, plus this is a console (Playstation) game
>plus this is a console (Playstation) game
Oh yeah that's why the mp is almost empty on ps consoles?
AC has always been a ps series i bet it sold more on ps its just the more casual playerbase so less competitive
The average player doesnt see fromsoft games as mp experiences why does this happen every time? Its just very small dedicated comunities that pvp. Same for elden ring
AC was also obviously never pvp centered either
The games multiplayer is primarily 1v2 matches. Even with 100 players online that'd be plenty of variety.
Honestly what amazes me is how high the completion rates are for AC. You look at other big games and hardly anyone beats it. Let alone three times. Hell the all achievements percentage is almost 10% which is nuts for steam
Why this game?
FromSoft games have pretty high completion rate for some reason.
They are very satisfying to play, thats why
They hook you in during the first area and boss
Contrary to popular belief, Fromsoft games are not hard. Difficulty is fair, equipment and growing stronger is not a convoluted system like many other games. They also don’t front load their best content in the beginning of the game except for Elden Ring and arguably DS1.
They're "hard" when compared to other populare games tbf. DS1 did come out at a time when games where insufferably easy.
This
I remember back then all games were easy af and story driven slop
Dark souls make the contrary of that, the game is hard and the story was just a setting and some lore
And people find out they actually enjoy this kind of thing
ER is not frontloaded.
DaS1 is.
>ER is not frontloaded
don't delude yourself. weeping peninsula and limgrave are the only areas with good content density. altus, liurnia, and caelid are all too sparse in terms of content while everything post-leyndel is izalith-tier.
They generally aren't hard if you know what you are doing. The difficulty really comes about if you get locked into a bad build and there's generally no easy way to change over to a new one or if you do, it's limited uses. So you get stuck needing to reset your game to not have your stats screwed up or being stuck in a long grind to fix things. Also, things can get old doing just one build.
I'm thinking long term AC6 will have one of the higher FromSoft completion rates just because your ability to get out of bad builds and try different ones is so easy.
I was surprised after getting S rank in all missions that it had a 5 percent rate on PS. That's pretty high
People are getting trophies in a game where 80% of the missions can be completed in four minutes? How can this be?
Well, it requires 3 playthrough and re doing missions to get s rank. It's not nothing.
dude on PS only 20% got S rank in the arena, for S rank on missions thats VERY high
>rokumonsen stopping people from graduating to b rank kek
That's assuming shitters can get past Volta
What is this new meta of shitposting where a shitskin always posts steamcharts player numbers for single player games, as if that has any meaning? Yeah people beat the game and then move on, thats every single player game ever.
dead
These games dont "die". I know its hard to wrap your head around the concept zoomie but games can be more than souless gaas trash. People beat the game had a fun time with it and move on. Some people will revisit it, some people will love it so much that will keep playing it non stop. The game made its budget back with sales and will continue to do so
In time people will remember rusty. Nobody will remember the season 5 battlepass
At this point most people would have either 100% it or at least beat NG++
I have it installed, played up till wallclimber and lost interest. Haven't touched it since, probably never will.
It gets a lot of hype, but it's probably the most braindead AC we've ever gotten. Even the story is just another "corruption from aliens" piece that doesn't really go anywhere.
As much as i like the game, i didn't dig the alien hivemind substance plot thing, it's pretty lame.
thats a shame, why'd you lose interest? dying over and over or just bored? tbf i can see both being the case, build options dont open up til like chapter 4 and a bunch of journos quit forever on easy bosses. i will say this though, you should play til you beat c spider at least if you still dont like it thats far enoough to get a taste and know if its for you. also if you ragequit just build w vert missiles for the boss on wallclimber
I dropped it because the soundtrack was boring.
After the high bar set by 4 and 4A nothing I heard in like 10 missions comes even close
I know its a meme to say but mission 10 is like the first real mission. quiting there looks more like you actually got filtered. I refuse to believe anyone quits a game an hour in due to not hearing any cool music in tutorial missions.
>. I refuse to believe anyone quits a game an hour in due to not hearing any cool music in tutorial missions.
This was in the fricking hangar m8
did you get filtered in the hanger too?
?si=eiL_VeWmm4LiZ0v9
just listen to Lupin the third while playing ACVI problem solved and honestly this kind of James Bond music does not fit the vibe of ACVI
>gay that started with AC6 tells others what AC music is and what isn't
I know this would happen
To be fair the 4 hanger music is quite distinct from all the others. I find it charming but shape memory alloy will forever be THE AC hanger track to me.
for me, it's 12 steps
?si=K4DTh8Y1tWijlhsJ
i didtn say it isnt AC music i said it wouldnt fit with ac6 snobby ass dude
He's right. It doesn't fit at all.
Hes completely right. Ac6 has a much more cohesive vibe to it
If by cohesive you mean boring
AC4 sucked fricking wieners for its garage music. Verdict Day had a much more appropriate take for something similar enough.
?si=1cR-57OEafH1I1Bz
AC2 and AC2:AA had the best and most fitting soundtracks in the series. Losing that style was a fricking sin and I kept wishing I could substitute music in AC6 missions with music from AC2
I greatly enjoyed Nexus' music. Having the arena being missions on the map was the only thing that didn't really sit well with me. Honestly heat was never a problem because I always sent most of my tonnage on internals anyway.
Oddly I didn't really do that in AC6. I get by fine with the light generators. Being like 4x the weight for only double the capacity doesn't sit well with me, especially since being close to the ground is excellent thanks to jump assist.
>got filtered by the soundtrack.
I don't know what level of autism you have but I sure you're alright.
Yeah and it sucked.
The music in 4 doesn't get good until you hear one of those combat tracks with barely audible engrish vocals.
If you needed a example you could have just posted SMA.
>[Grid Room] sucked
YOU SUCK
>I dropped it because the soundtrack was boring.
>After the high bar set by 4 and 4A nothing I heard in like 10 missions comes even close
Last Rave would drive you to suicide.
nta but I legit think Last Raven is the worst game in the series. I did Zinaida path, yeah it's hard, but is it fun?
Outside of a couple of bullshit bosses yeah I think it's fun.
Terrible fricking "music" tho.
It's Ganker's resident LR music hater. The OST was good. CAW CAW
Nta but it was kinda disappointing coming from 3 for me. I don't think any vidya I've ever played got the feeling of "Sci fi dystopian" better than 3's ost.
3's is still my least favorite pre-PS3 OST. Just wasn't memorable overall (Artificial Sky aside, maybe a few others). Somehow even the new tracks in SL were already a clear improvement, and Nexus was full of bangers.
LR ended up growing on me when I listened it to it standalone. Weird shit, but not bad.
Now, 4A's OST was just annoying to listen to while S-ranking, never want to hear it again.
ECM noise is not music.
>wallclimber
you arent talking about mission 10 in the first chapter, right?
I played it to around the second last mission before NG+. It felt pretty boring and a bunch of stupid things like the whole buying and selling parts thing.
lmao
Are we being raided? What a series of non sensical comments.
I honestly don't know how fromsoft could be feeling anything except giddy from this. I don't care if you like the gamed or not, this last decade has been nothing but extreme and continuous success for them.
why did allmind have to LARP as independent mercenary kate markson? it was obvious it clearly knew shit it shouldn't when it asked you to ambush the PCA inspection, so directly supporting you with an AC wouldn't have been some big surprise.
SPOILERS AHEAD
I don't know and it bothers me that it doesn't go anywhere.
There's no plot to it, Walter never follows up with his investigation into Kate, you have one more mission with Kate except she's offscreen and only mentioned by allmind.
We also never get an explanation on the C weapons being used to bring down the strider.
And allmind doesn't directly assimilate you because...?
I have a theory that 621 is immune to brainwashing somehow, hence why his reeducation failed and why you wake up after having allmind installed in your head but still have freewill.
It's probably why you had to be disposed of by allmind.
>We also never get an explanation on the C weapons being used to bring down the strider.
Coral defending Coral. All Red C-Weapons were trying to stop humans from finding/mining coral.
>We also never get an explanation on the C weapons being used to bring down the strider.
ALLMIND sent the weapons. The strider is the biggest point of divergence that throws you into the Alea ending.
The RLF was funny enough the most dangerous faction to ALLMIND's plan because, as you saw with Dolmayan, they understood coral better (at least the higher ups) but also knew it had to be contained. So they had to be crippled. Every other NG you take out the strider and that permanently fricks them over (arguably the corpos would have pulled it off too but who knows). In NG++ you choosing to defend the strider means ALLMIND has to take a different approach.
As for Kate, that was just ALLMIND testing you. Though it is disappointing Walter and Carla never got closer to who she was, ALLMIND had ways to hide that sort of shit that would have made it harder for them. In the ending they were still confused as to what the hell they were fighting. And she can't assimilate unless you're dead.
>ALLMIND sent the weapons.
Zero proof, frick off. Allmind never once controlled a non-green C-Weapon.
Coral apologists get shot behind the chemical shed
>he didn't play the game
>zero proof frick off
Except for the fact that it's the first mission that's different and the fact we know ALLMIND saw the RLF as a danger from the later mission where you kill Dolmayan
Also neither of the c-weapons that attacks the strider are models that really show off their coral engine so we've no idea what their glow is. The wheels sometimes show red when they're spewing flames but that's it.
>Also neither of the c-weapons that attacks the strider are models that really show off their coral engine so we've no idea what their glow is.
Replay the mission and head towards the Strider as soon as the mission starts, you'll see two red glowing auras flying towards you from the Strider.
I never noticed that because that's a weird ass detail, but I'll give it to you anon.
Still, it's literally the only explanation regardless. It has to be ALLMIND that sends the weapons.
Though I feel they should have made them glow green if that's the case.
It could be argued that Red was PCA C-weapon control, but the control was dubious at best as seen when the Ice Worm goes rogue and IBIS being around a place the PCA never really reached.
Still C spider tracks as they had the upper layers under lockdown. Strider attack is kinda out of left field for all involved. It doesn't even make that much sense as a coral thing because at that point the stider needed supplies and was a war platform. It's harvesting days were over.
But allmind doesn't use those C weapons anywhere again.
Kind of odd.
why didn't you buy this game, fromdrones? it even has le ebin moonlight sword in it!
>XD
Frick off
Wow, almost like there is no such thing as "fromdrone" like you schizo From haters try to claim. There is no such thing as a fandom for FromSoft that just plays everything From makes. Their different genres of games have their own separate fandoms. Even each Souls game has its own fandom that doesn't like the other Souls games nearly as much as their favorite, or even hates the other Souls games.
Now that you finally understand something everyone else always knew, you can stfu.
This game has more soul than virtually every other Fromsoft game. It’s sad it doesn’t get more love.
I've had this shit in my wishlist/backlog for literal years. Since that one MAGA parody trailer. I keep putting it off.
if the garbage game called Armored Core 6 was released before Eldern Reddit massive sucess it would be in the exact same boat as this other mecha slop, flopping and going under the radar and without any fromdrones posing themselves as ''fans'' of it
I own it and beat it there's nothing else to play lmao
Hit me with iconic tracks
Something as iconic as Thinker, Fall, Cosmos, Sands Blues, Panther, Remember, Thinker
Something iconic to prove this isn't soulslop repackaged with mechs
?si=idtAE8Le7HhLGiXG
>soulslop
Souls games are the pinnacle of game design, if they are slop then all games are slop and old AC games are gigaslop by that metric
AC6 is a fantastic game, it's the best game this year.
rate my emblem
its awesome, its like a warrior holding the inside of thier shield right?
>G0.IIITVIII

>G0.3T53
nice
you can't even draw ass properly,have a nice day please.
I've only played AC6 and really loved it, which of the other ones are worth trying out?
Play release order. The PS1 games were really ahead of their time and still hold up. If you don't like that then don't bother with the rest except maybe For Answer since it's also a stand-out as being the least like prior games, similar to AC6.
Silent Line is a favourite of mine aside from ACVI.
It saddened me that we can't change the hangar BGM. God I missed AC1 hangar music
>How did things go SO RIGHT for a long dead IP from a decade ago brought back into current day?
How many mech games can you name that came out in last 10 years that are not shit?
Ayre is my wife and I will do what she tells me to.
>hard lock
>kick spam
>stagger system
Another case of a new release being the financially successful despite being the worst entry in its franchise. This is why you shouldn't wish for your favorite series to be revived.
At least it's not open world like elden shite.
Probably crossed their mind. The gameplay of AC6 would have better served a new title or even Frame Gride 2 with fantasy mecha in a DS like interconnected map. Then they could really focus on melee and some robot magic shit both in-lore and as mechanics in-game. AC didn't need it.
It literally did cross their minds, interview said they were thinking about it potentially being open world but decided mission format was better, that doesn't bode well considering they might just make it open world when running out of ideas which is going to be god awful. Normalgays really wil onions out over the equivalent of overboosting over several ice worm map distances to get to the actual linearly designed content but even then it'd be copypasted warehouses where you fight MTs
I would cum in my pants if they made an elden ring style open world AC6 and I hope they do
Well, at least the open world exploration would be pretty brief considering the means in which we traverse with the AC.
kys
>worst entry in its franchise.
Not even close
>hardlock
Most PCgays don't even know it exists believe it or not because they made it so you break hardlock with the slightest movement of the camera
And guess what the camera is controlled by
You don't really need it but the strafing in hard lock is always one, whereas if you're not actively shooting, your AC will point in the direction you're moving and if you change directions you will do a full stop before turning around instead of changing directions seamlessly. The ideal way would be to swap between hard and soft lock constantly.
This is really besides the point because soft or hard locked you can rotate your view instantly regardless of the parts you're running. A tank can keep his sights on a speedy fricker no matter what, there's no way to outflank him like there was before.
strafing is always on*
>and guess what
Snide for no reason. Don't make liking a kusoge part of your personality and it won't make you mad when people tell you it's shit
The focus on stagger abuse from both you and the enemy is genuinely bad, but everything else is great.
Stagger system is hilariously bad and just devolves into an arms race of what can facefrick the boss into a seizure the fastest before it does any of its aids ridden moveset. Zimmers being brought down a peg didn't really solve anything
the story itself was serviceable but the way it was presented was lazy and the voice acting fricking sucked. it was like how japanese people think americans speak to each other.
I changed voice acting to japanese not cus I'm a weeb but so that I wouldn't be able understand it. japanese carla is best va, I replayed the intercept corporate forces mission a bunch and the way she exclaims "Chatty!" is pretty kawaii tbhne
a couple of weapons also completey trivialize the game that is already not that hard to begin with
what makes up for all of that is the gameplay and the customization options. it's just really fun scootin around in personalised mech, having a big ass laser gun and seeing mechs explode or constantly thinking about which weapon/part/color combination you want to use for your next ac
overall great game wud recommend although i do wonder if people would be less forgiving if it wasn't fromsoft
>the story itself was serviceable
>voice acting fricking sucked
>having a big ass laser gun and seeing mechs explode or constantly thinking about which weapon/part/color combination you want to use for your next ac
yeah it's really cool with all the explosions and effects not letting you see any of that cool customization anyway
hell, you usually just see a dark smear of the enemy too and the lock-on around them
pretty shitty
>not letting you see any of that cool customization
You can feel it in the controls.
The voice acting is consistently good.
If it WASNT a fromsoft game people would be shitting their pants over it even more
Same. I suggested a AC game on top of a death stranding style exploration game people went ape shit and told me to die 1000x , it would be absolute unbridled kino
>what is photo mode
And also you’re not gonna admire your ac in combat it’s way too fast paced
Agree
Hard lock should be out. I’ve played the entire game so far without it there’s no reason for it to exist. But hey I don’t mind my lock on being twice as fast as the shitters who can’t into AC without it
Actually some weapon ranges are affected by not being locked.
The napalm launcher plops at your feet if you don't lock but travels further and actually hits if you do lock.
I tested this from the same position and aim.
It's bullshit.
Not everyone talks like Michigan you know. The English dub is decent enough with some good actors, like Ayre's.
>he doesn't like japanese Amerikino
I bet you don't even want to live in a world full of hyper-masculine grizzled soldier men and sultry blondes that purr every word.
>the voice acting fricking sucked
bait
>the voice acting fricking sucked
This got me thinking. A few threads ago, the thought of Chatty having the personality and dialogue of a late-MCU character was brought up.
I want to take it a step further. I want the voice acting to fricking suck SUPER hard.
How? Celebrity voice actors. Not just any celebrity voice actors, but MCU actors with no VA skill.
Imagine the cast list for this game if that was the process...
> it was like how japanese people think americans speak to each other.
This is a bad thing?
>the voice acting fricking sucked
opinion discarded
Dark Souls 1 has sold 6,6 million copies of the original and PTDE combined, and 1,9 million copies of its remaster, for a total of 8,5 million copies
So no, it did not beat DS1
You are probably comparing release year sales between the games but forgot to mention this and made it sound like you are comparing total sales
Now imagine how many they would have sold if the marketing wasn't total shit. Every release of footage from Bandai Namco made it look underwhelming and that event they hosted with Youtubers was super shit. Ironically, Youtubers that had access to film their own gameplay had much better highlights. Vaati Shilled this to the high heavens.
By being something completely different than everything else right now.
From has only released kino since Demon's Souls in 2009 (excluding DS2). Gamers trust them to always deliver quality products, and as long as they don't start shitting the bed and become greedy like CDPR or Bethesda people will keep buying their games blindly and believing the hype. From could release any type of mundane game right now, and it would sell like crazy based on brand recognition alone.
DS3 was not kino
The DLCs were absolute kino.
Oceiros was kino.
Aldritch was kino.
The rematch against Gundyr is still my favorite fight across all soulsborne games
I know that ultimately there's no real answer but I like to think Frampt and Kaathe popped out of a dude like him and kind of prettied themselves up (relatively speaking) over time.
2.9 million is pretty good considering ACV sold less than 250k total in its lifetime. I thank soulsbros for funding and reviving Armored Core.
I don't think any Armored Core games ever sold beyond 1 million copies before this, that's how niche the series was.
>I don't think any Armored Core games ever sold beyond 1 million copies before this,
>What is AC 2
This shit is necromancy, the series is now deader than it was before and likely will never recover.
>deader than ever
>just sold over two million copies and will probably sell over 3 mil lifetime frame
Yes it is very dead if you are brain dead
It's an animated corpse, a fate worse than death.
And you are a serfield discord troony. A fate worse than any other
I hope realize the sad irony of your schizopost someday.

He didn't direct AC6. He laid some groundwork, while being busy full time with ER.

Make a sequel to Metal Wolf Chaos, THEN I'll kneel.
What system are you guys playing VI on?
Well deserved. Best mecha action game in video game history and one of my personal favourites. What an absolute banger experience from start to finish.
i need an armored core/ace combat crossover with macross style mechs please
If it were confirmed that the next FromSoft game would be worked on with Brandon Sanderson as it were rumoured, how would you feel?
Personally I think a Mistborn Soulslike would be kinda cool.
Frick no. Keep western hacks far away from my beloved Japanese videogames.
I don't mind him despite how anons here hated the guy.
If it's ACTUALLY a Wheel of Time RPG and there's a route to waifu Lanfear and usurp the Dark One in some evil ending? Shuddup and take my money
Just imagining that we will have an adaptation of the Wheel of Time that doesn't suck donkey dick would be wonderful
On the one hand, knowing how the japs do it the game would probably unlock romance routes for the Forsaken.
On the other hand, the Forsaken are subjectively less cancerous than Rand's actual harem despite being objectively more evil.
>turning finished story with established characters into video game
I hate this shit. And your idea about usurping the Dark One is contracting and nonsensical to the lore. We already have epic TV show, no need for another shitty fanfiction. Besides WoT is bad setting for video game.
his overly verbose style wouldn't lend itself well to a from game
I imagine his input would be more on the underlying lore and world mechanics like how magic works. That’s what he thinks he’s good at, dude actually created “Sanderson’s Laws of Magic” and they’re even more pompous than the title suggests.
What the frick did GRRM do for ER anyway
There is no fricking way it outsold DS1 or DS2 that series has sold a combined 30 million copies.
Good shit. Hopefully will embolden From to make more varied games.
Depends on what they're making next after Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. They kinda popped the cherry with this one after being heavily typecast as Souls company for so long.
Note that this is exclusively Japanese sales being used for the metrics. Armored Core 2 itself sold over 2 million globally as a PS2 launch title.
So wait what if that’s to be believed then AC6 has sold 20m
>Japan only
Holy shit
>How did things go so right
Don't know but I'm fricking loving it.
Bros I need help. I want to build a karajishi aka foo dog themed build but aside from the boonker idk what weapons to use. Foo dog are mythical creatures said to protect temples, you can see a lot of them in statue form in Japan
Or I could even go dagger or stun baton any of those would work as far as the melee aspect. Still lost on right hand and shoulders tho
There are no weapons/parts to make a foo dog specific build.
I hope this helps!
Ye but we can approximate I was hoping someone had some cool ideas
No you can't. There is nothing in the game to make a foo dog style AC.
>2.9 million copies sold currently
damn, that's very little. hopefully enough to turn a profit though.
Not possible it’s that little steam sold near 2mil in the first two weeks
speak english please
It is perfectly fine english.
For a mecha game, that's a lot. Thankfully From's dealing with Bamco here, the kind of publisher who's happy enough that the games they're publishing sold 3 to 4 million in its lifetime.
Little? Are you moronic? That's a lot. They probably turned a profit at 500k.
> Dark souls 1
Sure its behind that and final flop 16 keep coping
Why do japs always need to shove lgbt shit into their games? I thought they were supposed to be based?
Japs were always gay. They had to tone it down before for the international community but now that westerners are homosexual they can go all out.
Look how hard she's trying.
How many jap games can you name that have 0 (zero) lgbt shit in them?
Kek shes so upset
You didn't hear how our lolcow got raped the other night?

Guy raised a woman is pretty common in myths. The reverse as well.
Don't know, but as someone who finally just jumped on despite mechshit not being my thing have to say I've noticed that the difficult curve very noticeably filters you between missions.
How did you guys beat the gunship that attacks right after you meet Ayre? My duo bazooka/missile build got filtered by Sulla until I swallowed my pride, did some grinding, bought some machine guns and bought some of those homing plasma missiles. I then proceeded to get filtered by the gunship like 15 fricking times until I started reading the attack patterns in time to DOOOOODGE without exhausting my energy, and learned the hard way that to treat the gunship like a bullfight. As in, don't fricking try to dance with the flamethrower and fire everything you have when you're at range and it's not swooping.
Like everyone else, you got intimidated by the missile spam and tried to keep your distance. The key to this game is to be aggressive as frick and fill up that yellow bar until it's red. Assault boost into everything, melee everything.
>The key to this game is to be aggressive as frick and fill up that yellow bar until it's red. Assault boost into everything, melee everything.
God fricking dammit, you made me realise I successfully unlearned the only tactic that let me beat the filtercopter at the start of the game: Going behind the big lumbering vehicle and shoving my sword up it's ass.
Just like in Soulsbornering
But you're goddamn right the missile spam and firestorms are intimidating, and in all fairness bazooka-sniping and missile rains worked just fine for clearing the majority of mooks.
Yup, that boss is a microcosm of the game. You can basically do it to every boss.
Not sure this will transform into sales for the sequel, this is just post-ER hype. I think there's still a lot of people who don't like robots

Besides the JAILBREAK/ALBA/HAL 826 frames and Stun Needle Launcher, what other parts do you get for free just by completing story missions?
What do you mean? Most parts are locked behind missions.
I meant parts that, when you complete a story mission, the game gives you a pop-up saying that you've been given the part.
For example, when you complete the last mission in the group of three before the Ice Worm hunt, the game tells you that you now have the Stun Needle Launcher for the R-Back unit.
Clearer example: complete Escape and the game tells you that you've now got the JAILBREAK frame parts. No need to buy them, they're just available in assembly.
Or did you mean you don't have to buy the part afterwards?
Dammit I had to sleep and my thread got slid
Obsessed and frustrated you sound gay for me, no thank you lol
Anyways back to matters of actual importance
How the haps AC lads?
Post those ACs
Looks like Khamsin from MGR with his hair grown out
You like stealth and parrying? Sekiro. You like dodging, blowing shit up and getting in close to gut a b***h when all else fails? AC6.
Either way. Hesitation is death.
Kek he kinda does, some other anon the other day pointed out he looks like a clone of Bryan Fury I'm pretty sure that was the inspiration on the artists part kinda shameless but good character choice at least
I'M A THINKER
I COULD BREAK IT DOWN
Should i play this or sekiro?
Both
Wait the source for the 2.8 million copies sold worldwideare two fricking voice actors? Wtf, I'm waiting the official announcement
That is official. New rules in media let VAs know how well a product did so they can accurately judge their price instead of it always increasing x%.
Strange practice they're doing considering in their past games, they went as officially as possible with the company releasing financial statements in their website and such instead of whatever this is.

I hope AC 6: Subtitle 2 or AC 7 doesn't take too long to come out. I can't get enough of this game but you can only play the same mission so many times and PvP isn't as fun without voice chat to talk about builds.
That and I kinda hate the bazooka buff. They needed it but with the net code there's nothing more infuriating then seeing a bazooka shell land far past you because you dodged only for hit reg go "Actually no" and suddenly a bunch of you AP is gone and you're staggered. Then again I work night shift so the only people I'm playing are from the other side of the world which doesn't help.
Playing vs 4 zooks is cancer. You have to dodge one every 2 seconds and if two connect you eat the whole combo and maybe a kick or two.
The game isn't built for PvP. Immobilizing and NPC and raping it is cool but putting the player in their shoes and being stunlocked and 50~100% of your AP being melted while you watch helplessly isn't that fun.
I can get behind more endings and more missions, but I dunno if the game world itself has to be any bigger. I think one of the strengths of AC6 is instead of pathfinding in bumfrick nowhere, you just charge in to frick shit up with the objective marker leading the way, and you don't have to frick about and find out too much like in the Soulsborne games.
Yes, all that you said is true, but they could easily add double the amount of missions and 2 new types of biomes to do the missions in.
They could probably unironically make a sci-fi Soulsborne by just filling out some of the models they actually have. Fricking hell, one of the satellites scales to the size of the whole Elden Ring map. Shit even like the Strider could probably be a whole game on its own if working on human scale instead.
>check out Armored Core
>press L2 and R2 to look up and down
What in the manner of hell is this.............
YOU CAN CHANGE IT. YOU CAN FRICKING CHANGE IT IN THE OPTIONS MENU. STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS IT'S BEEN 25 YEARS
I'm a huge PS1 head so I got used to all kinds of Cthulhu tier control schemes, I never change the defaults
Unironically doing that currently in pic related, moving onto some Vampire Hunter D after this
I'm a PC gamer that has to rely on some truly bewildering ports and it's much the same to me. I just brute force the controls with practice until I can go into the zone, and rely on reflex spam to kill everything.
The hardest part of every Fromsoft game is leaning to be brave, and just figuring out the right window of opportunity to fricking jump in and backstab somebody.
Kek I remember getting so pissed at this with 4A as a kid then I figured out how to change it.
We didn't have analog sticks at first. Then we got them and we still didn't use them for some reason for many many years.
Anon, bind camera controls to the face buttons. Use shoulders for weapon and booster operations. It was a robot sim first and foremost back in the day. One of the most popular options isn't doing what I said, but rather binding left and right motion to L1 and R1 to be able to change direction in the air easily and strafe bullets. However, I find remapping to emulate twin stick controls is easiest for newcomers, even if it locks you out of some advanced movement options. Customizing your controls is the final part of customizing your AC.
>Anon, bind camera controls to the face buttons. Use shoulders for weapon and booster operations
don't do this. default controls are fine
Laser turrets are hilarious
I hate how AC6 threads are a discord troon meeting spot
Are you surprised? The game is pretty dead and the only big lobbies are hosted by discord groups modded by homosexual youtubers and such.
Is that what's happening here?
Because there's always a stark difference in threads like these almost no AC posting whatsoever
No fricking point, actually the gayest homosexual shit imaginable I'd tell them to touch grass but its quite obvious the outside world hates them and so do the people around them, I do not pity their existence
It sold well off of the From brand and permanently damaged the brand's reputation. I wouldn't exactly call that things going right for a company that was heading to the moon after Elden Ring.
>permanently damaged the brand's reputation
How so?
Everything From touches was considered gold. That's why people bought AC. Then it turned out that no, they can make shit games too. Now people will be a lot more skeptical when King's Field V gets announced and it'll sell worse than it should have.
Why is AC6 shit?
It's an obsessed troony that's mad we ruined its gay ass thread with actual relevant conversation
nice headcanon
>when King's Field V gets announced
if it were announced you can expect it would be the same kind of soulsbornekiro crap as what AC6 became. The game turned out so bad because Yamamura is a dickhead that couldn't think past the nu from KINO formula and executed it terribly here.
Is it really that bad honestly?
It just feels like on game wearing another's skin. Try playing AC1 or even AC4 and ACV. This was a big leap, bigger than 4 and V. They could have refined the previous formula with a new twist but instead they made the combat all about cooldowns, combos, stuns, timed dodges telegraphed by a beep beep noise. The only resemblance is in the garage. Although this next point is entirely peripheral, I think it's really symbolic that the OST also had the soul ripped out of it. The whole sound track should have been full of Rusted Prides and Rough and Decents but it was all mostly forgettable video game epic music.
>The whole sound track should have been full of Rusted Prides and Rough and Decents but it was all mostly forgettable video game epic music.
Are you stupid? The vast majority of the OST is the opposite of "epic," it's ambient noise. This whole post reads like blind nostalgiahomosexualry.
Reading comprehension Black person.
>video game epic music
huh? what does that even mean?
He has no proper criticism so he uses buzzwords.
Nah I have the same complaints, I'd say 70% of the music is just generic background beats that literally nobody is going to remember similar to most of the Souls music where it's just "epic" categorized orchestra music
>The whole sound track should have been full of Rusted Prides and Rough and Decents but it was all mostly forgettable video game epic music.
Don't know what you mean when my favorite songs are Hearing Things and Point of No Return.
>bigger than 4
Are you really gonna say that when 4 introduced quick boosting, over boosting, FOUR (4) different categories of boosters. This game is just an extension of that with a stagger system.
>over boosting
PLAY THE FRICKING GAMES BEFORE COMMENTING ON THEM GODDAMN IT
Overboost was in 7 fricking games before AC4. If we're being pedantic you could quickboost with an extension but it wasn't common to use it and each different one focused on "QB"ing in a particular direction. Speaking of extensions, this game didn't have any either.
>DISCORD DISCORD THE TRANNIES ARE HERE
Not every fricking criticism of a game is made by fricking psychos coordinating on bloody Discord. This may shock you but people disliked games before discord or reddit even existed.
Cope
>>Not every fricking criticism of a game is made by fricking psychos coordinating on bloody Discord. This may shock you but people disliked games before discord or reddit even existed.
Of course, troons had no hanghout before then.
>not mentioning "man who passed the torch", "contact with you" and "cries of coral"
>This was a big leap, bigger than 4 and V.
It wasn’t
>They could have refined the previous formula with a new twist
They did. I don’t care about your arbitrary definitions. If you don’t like AC6 whatever. But saying it’s not armored core is a broken fricking wheel since AC4. AC4 is my least favorite by a long shot and there are elements that came back to AC6 that I haven’t had since Pre gen 4. The elements you are complaining about for the most part have some point of source you can point to in previous titles.
The fact you talk about 4th gen so much leads me to believe that’s your favorite and that’s the type of person I keep finding b***hing about AC6 the most generally when it comes to people who say they played the previous titles. Get over it. Nothing fricking changes if you don’t like AC6 considering you had nothing but the previous titles for 10 years. Hell in fact AC6 success could lead to rereleases finally of some titles and I can’t see how anyone would be complaining about that.
>The fact you talk about 4th gen so much leads me to believe that’s your favorite
You're dead wrong. I was very disappointed with AC4 when it came out. I thought "is this armored core now?" and I'm thinking it again. I keep bringing it up because it's the same situation repeating itself. Yes, it's nice they dialed back the floaty movement of 4th gen and let you boost again after 5th gen. If I have to admit anything, it's that moving your AC feels smooth with some exceptional behaviour that occurs when you're not strafing aimed at a target. But refocusing the game on melee combos, hard lock, unlimited turn speed and filling a stun meter changed things at a very fundamental level. It's not armored core gameplay.
Sounds to me like you just can't cope and adjust to change, anon. You should work on that.
This is always the dumbest non-argument
>Thing gets worse
>Well, just adjust to the change. Adapt and overcome!
>bigger than ACV
On a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the maximum, how hard would Ame melt down over the ALLMIND fight?
>how hard would Ame melt down over the ALLMIND fight?
reminds me of this vtuber who got to the ALLMIND fight 10 days ago and has been stuck ever since
Who still cares about old and busted Ame, when Beeboo is younger, cuter, and an actual gamer.
She got all 3 endings for AC6, and her last streams of it was 12h, where she basically did both Ng+ and Ng++ in a single sitting.
Who cares about this kind of moronic tribalism when they stream on different days and you can just watch both? Imagine being a console warrior for streamers. Peak zoomer brainrot.
I get anyone who says AC 6 isn't to their taste but anyone saying it's the worst or even a bad Armored Core games are out of their mind.
VD is one of my favorite Armored Core games, doesn't make V not a total POS. Let alone 4 having next to no parts or build variety, Nine breaker is total trash, and things like Nexus, which I also like a lot, had a lot of problems. Most AC games you like in spite of the flaws. To say 6 is somehow a departure from that is just the weirdest thing.
V/VD have more AC DNA than AC6. And the reason is: no stagger bar, no camera locked to target, turn speed limited.
they hated him because he spoke the truth
AC6 homosexuals may deny this but the online presence and the pvp dwindling down speaks volume.
Show us the online numbers and PvP numbers for the previous Armored Core games
>It's not shit because previous entries had even less players active online
k
You can't claim that the online numbers for a game prove that it is shit compared to the previous games while not presenting the numbers for said previous games.

I will and you can't stop me. I do not care for damage control autists. Game's making fighting game numbers right now and it's hilarious. I hope it'll show Yamamoto and Mitsubishi how we feel about that moldy rotten pvp.
I can't stop you but I will ignore you. Everyone will ignore you.

Who pissed in your Rubicon?
IF they ever make a new King's Field game they might as well flat out admit it's technically another souls game and just takes place in a previous cycle of the world. I mean, the sword cut from Midir's tail all but screams that's the case even without two dragons literally carrying over names from it.
Discord trannies are at it again. How many fricking times do we have to tell you freaks that we can spot you from a mile away and you're just wasting your time?
Go away.
Should have made it a souls like. Would have sold 10 million easy.

I've done 3.5 playthroughs with the default playstation controls. Just now I've learned that some of the other settings are much more accomodating for QB+soft lock management. Do I try and switch or just keep going?
Type B looks more at home if you played the other titles. L2 with the booster is something I always used. Only difference this time was using m+kb which outside of two minor changes I made. Was great.
Kinda sad that AC6 is just going to fizzle out like that.

Freudbros, how do we cope?
He at least leaves a good impresion of how autistic he is towards AC fights.
Wish they took more cues from Genobee. Think he’s my favorite ranked 1. Mysterious, but active enough participant and even helps your ass out in certain circumstances. All while being a merc true to his core.
>mistranslation of Shinobi
Truly amazing some of the weird localizations we got like Megalis.
Also wasn't Genobee an AI or am I remembering wrong?
I think my favorite Arena members will always be Shade and Jack O. The latter may be a giant meme but he still had a great build and personality even if he was a total dumbass. The thought of using multiple pilots to kill pulverizers instead of killing them before they could be used to train the next gen would have worked fine.
I don’t think it’s ever completely stated but the implied relationship of Argaya probably goes beyond Genobee being an AI. I think he’s more just Crest’s personal human plus pet project. His Japanese didn’t really give the impression of an AI. It would be closer to Evangel in the Pulverizer in JP I’d imagine if he was. Wouldn’t be shocked if he was beyond AI enhanced or something, but I think Genobee was still an actual dude at the end of the day. Or at least at one point.
then theirs also zinaida being interested in mollycoddle. zinaida = agraya?
>mistranslation of Shinobi
It’s really a mistranslation of Zinovy, as evidenced by his fangirl Zinaida also using a Russian callsign.
>”I’m a mercenary. I’m used to betrayal.”
You don’t realize how much that line hits you at that moment unless you played every game leading up to that point where Genobee really just said the biggest understatement of the century of these games.
He should have been in the Ice Worm mission bantering with Michigan and ignoring Snail. He's their biggest fish and wants to fight everything, why would he have missed the Ice Worm fight?
Because they also wanted to destroy the PCA's army while (you) fought the ice worm so he was probably soloing a fleet off screen at the time.
>Snail: We want to attack the PCA's bases and naval strongholds so we can loot all their stuff and come back even stronger after it. In exchange, we will let you risk your men and material killing this ice worm which we could have killed ourselves anyway.
>Michigan: DEAL
WHAT was he thinking? Literally the worst trade deal in the history of deals, if not ever.
Most of Balams missions are about morale as opposed to actual objectives. We killed the worm, the greatest threat on Rubicon, we took the wall, sure it was after it had changed hands a bunch and has no strategic significance but hey we own the wall, Destroy these gun emplacements in this contaminated city no one cares about. Lets be the first in without checking any defenses. So on so forth. The all look really impressive from a campaign perspective but they hardly do anything.
Nile somehow dies in early on in the prison raid weather you do it or not so it's no surprise. The only shocking thing is Michigan not changing teams like he did in the Jupiter war
Michigan's loyal to Balam only insofar as he accepts his losses post Jupiter
He didn't switch sides, Furlong (I think he was Furlong) just lost and as a consequence he had to join Balam.
Now imagine a new DLC path where elements in Furlong gets in touch with him after they start working with Elcano on the Alba, and he switches sides to the RLF.
He probably wanted to have a shot at reaching the Coral first. Nile also dies early as shit and he was the brains of the Redguns. Also, the Balam suits seem to be moronic too
>Independent mercenary! Why be a mere pawn? What purpose is there in serving corporations who exist only to kill and plunder?
How do you respond?
Kill him for money
It would have been kino if they let you choose to fight Volta and Iguazu when he says this.
So, where's the proof? Only source I can find is one of the JP voice actors stating it and I doubt he knows anything about the game's sales figures.
Would the Fires of Raven actually kill the Coral for real this time?
The original Fires didn't do the job, and ALLMIND even notes in her route that they can try again if you fail to stop the Xylem in time.
Why are all the Ais in this franchise batshit insane?
Come with the territory of dystopian society
The crazy/evil self aware Ai trope has gotten pretty old, there should be more games like SMT Strange Journey where the Ai is the good guy for once.
man, Arthur was a real homie
Chatty isn't batshit insane
Chatty also isn't a collective consciousness
>tfw you realize Allmind uses We and Us because they're a collection of all the personalities they copied/absorbed

3 times and there's new missions/alternate objectives/dialogue in each NG
have a nice day
I played the campaign 5 times over already and it felt like less of a chore than automata part 1 twice
Automata had the problem that literally all of 9S’ combat encounters are one stage from the same pool of like ten easy mode top down shooter levels over and over again.
I still loved the game and it was still a nice change of pace after 2B’s game, but still.
Killing the machine sensei as 9s was when it dawn on me how boring his combat was. Probably had to hack him 50+ times to kill him, the same 12 shooting minigames get old fast when you have to do each one of them over and over for a single boss.
>How did things go SO RIGHT for a long dead IP from a decade ago brought back into current day?

*Hyped and vetted by their community, which isn't just being brainless
>*Hyped and vetted by their community, which isn't just being brainless
No, just hyped. Elden Ring isn't a better game than the previous souls games, its success is a social phenomenon, so are the sales of AC6 which are not commensurate with its quality
it's time to accept that you like what is mainstream and you're defending that.
It means, if someone like me enjoyed it, I'm likely to enjoy it. Quality is only one factor in deserved sales.
>most of you have absolutely abysmal taste and cannot explain good game design in objective terms.

The ones shitting up AC6 threads will probably lose interest once the new current thing comes. There's no way in hell they'll have the same mental fortitude as AC fans who waited more than 10 years for a new game.
>There's no way in hell they'll have the same mental fortitude as AC fans who waited more than 10 years for a new game.
AC6 isn't an AC game though,its a souls game
Sure buddy. But please take your meds.
Good things most <25 zoomers don't care at all about AC.
they care about it now it sold well so it's ok to like it
hence the thread
Code?
Ganker has seethed about Elden Ring for at least over a year now. Place your bets on Armored Core 6, brehs
Shadow of the Erdtree DLC will divert the shazamtrannies away
AC6 isn't a GOTY contender, and isn't difficult or large enough for people to make false flag operations about certain mechanics.
All they can meme about it are that it's too small, but that runs counter to their "open world games bad" narrative.
Maybe they can try going at it's small narrative, but that goes against the "hating movie games" narrative.
They can't bait about feminism, because the women are either opponents or secondary to male characters.
Everybody is just a voice, and named characters are western european or east asian.
They could try calling it safe, but it's a mech game, a genre that isn't facing much success.
>All they can meme about it are that it's too small, but that runs counter to their "open world games bad" narrative.
contradicts
don't say "runs counter to". that is a 2000's media invention because black people can't say "contradicts" they say "concradicksin" and shit like that
don't be Black personized. say contradicts. there is no reason to say "runs counter to" when the word "contradicts" exist which literally means "says the opposite thing"
> 2000's media invention
> 1843
google trends shows increasing use of "runs counter to" starting in 2004
it is a 2000s media invention because black people cannot say "contradicts". it doesn't matter if the phrase "runs counter to" existed before, it was not in predominate use. I know this since i'm over fricking 40, newb
>over 40
>still on Ganker

Yeah checks out for sure
They even had to Google everything they said
>and named characters are western european or east asian.
Dolmayan is 100% black.
Which is why he's a homosexual degenerate who wont even roll the dice for his schizo voice waifu.
Armenian, actually. So a sand Black person specifically.
3 more months. Threads are already slowing down. Hogwarts was seethed about far more and nobody even discusses it at all anymore.
Until the next thing, ER dlc, comes out. So until beginning of next year.
Then they will seethe about that.
Good now give us an expansion
how does fromsoft manage to go from a game of pure soul like ER to, well frankly soulless armored coreslop and you are happy about it?
zoomers need numbers to support opinions because they can't argue and don't socialize, so "objective fact" becomes the most important thing
if something sells a lot it "proves" it's good
meaning hogwarts is got pas 5 years or so
I just feel like posting my latest Gundam build. Don't mind me
>The LG-M-1110 is one of the best looking leg sets in the game
>Looks like PCA tech
We got fricking robbed. I want these so bad.
They get even worse at what they do every single day, honestly appalling
Is this really what they do with their lives??
>Registration number Rb23 callsign Raven, you performed your assigned task exceeding expectations, as a reward here is bikini shot of me.
>AI art is STILL heavily censored even in the grimderp dystopian future
Lame.
I remember people saying that Armored Core 5 is bad, why is that?
moronic damage system killed 5th gen way more than stagger can possibly kill 6th
>RPS damage system
So like, what, the way Fire Emblem does it?
>SCAN MODO
?
just play it and find for yourself homosexual
>RPS Damage System
its only singleplayer shitters that seethe about it. just ignore them
>SCAN MODO
He means scan mode, which is done by pressing R3. It regens energy faster than in combat mode
it didn't have elden ring's grand prowess to rub off on like ac6 and so it got a fair judgement
MP Focused and an extreme rock/paper/scissors type of damage. Plus SCAN MODO.
How much worse would pvp be if they brought back the overheating system from the PS2 games?
Congrats on pulling off the impossible, FROMSOFT. I had always knew you were capable of doing so, but I didn't actually think you would go through with it.
Looks like mecha kino is back on the menu, boys!
maybe bamco will put an actual budget into making a good gundam game now
it won't happen but I can huff my hopium
they won't because they already publish AC
I dunno man. Bandai is already having one of their subsidiaries publishing this:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2328310/CUSTOM_MECH_WARS/
Might be betting on a mech game revival for a bit.
I'll probably still buy it, but the name's a bit too on the nose, don't you think?
Gets the point across.
And is less on the nose than this game they've also made:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2348100/YEAH_YOU_WANT_THOSE_GAMES_RIGHT_SO_HERE_YOU_GO_NOW_LETS_SEE_YOU_CLEAR_THEM
Kek. Thanks for the gift, anon. I'm sure that'll be on sale this Christmas for me to pick up
>D3PUBLISHER
You mean we're getting mech battles on the scale of EDF?
they won't pump more money in Gundam kusoge because they already publish AC anon there is no need to compete
Counterpoint: the model liscencing for Armored Core models is stuck in a company not owned by them and a Gundam game would buff gunpla sales to make them more money directly.
they own the rights to make AC toys already
city girl is good, yo
The PCA Heavy Cavalry frame at The Wall is giving me more trouble than any boss I've fought so far.
plasma rifles, fren
He seems too fast for it. Best results I got were with the pulse gun but mother of god is this guy is aggressive.
He's a tough one. Assault Armor will shred the grunts that contribute to stagger early in the fight, just boost down and explode on them, and try to stay above him as best you can.
Came back to it later and got his ass with simple overwhelming force.
I've used that strategy many times. for next time through, I've determined from grinding S-ranks that the main weakness of the HCs is that they stagger forever so you can get em with the BUNK.
I've heard that a lot but never experienced it, even killing Ring Freddie earlier. What's his toughest attack for you?
get behind and/or above it
assault armor nukes the shield btw
rush it with a heavy melee AC, if you let it control the rhythm of the battle it will frick you up
It could have been so good if not for that god awful stagger mechanic. Also doesn't help they slowed the game down so much from 4/4A
>no content
Jesus fricking christ this game needs CD. I want RNG roguelike mission grindfest
dont know what i'm doing
>370
Not fast enough.
That should work for all singleplayer content. P05 FCS would help more.
T. Scudder enjoyer
I was looking at the cut leg parts and throught "pfft, that's just soldner legs from 4a" and then I looked and it was nowhere near as round as I remembered.
I like the little gem. It looks cute. Don't care if it's not doing as much damage as big shoulder weapons and big rocket launchers.
AC6 is my first Fromsoft game and I love it. Everything about it appeals to my /m/-addled brain, operator/bridge crew alien waifu, cool rival with hidden agendas, all the little gimmicky weapons.
I just fricking love mecha, bros.
Just get From to make a Gundam game.
you mean another one? heard the last one wasn't too good
Putting a dev into a contract deal to make them develop a game they don't want to make will just produce shit.
ac6 is already exvs with story mode
>Armored Core 6 is Maxi Boost Gundam
Y'know... you are completely right.
>uh dis gaem sold moar den dis gaem
>but not as much as dat gaem
>wow isn't it interesting dat dat gaem is more popular den dat gaem?
why are you like this?
why can't you just talk about games like a normal person?
Fricking moron. Whether or not we get an expansion/DLC/sequel to ACVI depends on whether this game is successful. That’s why these sales figures are important and why we should celebrate ACVI’s achievement because WE as a fanbase made it happen thanks to our faith and our dedication and our resounding love for the game. Where do you clueless imbeciles come from?
>because WE as a fanbase made it happen
what the frick makes you think that?
are you a gaming ~~*journalist*~~?
do you work at a marketing firm?
are you being paid to post here?
if not, what makes you think you had any fricking influence on what normalgays blow their money on?
>Whether or not we get an expansion/DLC/sequel to ACVI depends on whether this game is successful.
not true in many cases, often where companies choose to spend their money is based on random petty factors like what the CEO's kid likes, or if some middle manager has a vendetta against a certain member of the dev team, or if the boomer shareholders read an article saying X is popular right now.
AND if there is an expansion or whatever, that's no guarantee of quality, particularly when most companies react to the news of "people love our game" by trying to gut it and casualize it as much as possible to attract more normie money.
so why are you celebrating the fact that some rich frick can give himself an extra few million in his bonus this year? why do you bother to remember the sales numbers? it was good and a financial success, hooray. why do you have to obsess about it more than that?
I think
hit the nail on the head honestly...
>fight Dumb Coalman
>he keeps falling under the arena and struggles to stay on
poor guy
gib last raven difficulty sequel
physical shields coming in the DLC for sure
Those legs and that shield look like some holdover from testing with ACV assets.
>shit taste contrarian Ganker opinion #42990
Lol, in the mission to recuperate the data in the ice field, the map with the giant hole in the center as big as op's mom dumping truck, remember how there's one last arena where the tetrapod and the mts get destroyed by that one PCA ship blasting lazers on the battlefield?
If you just jump repeatedly from behind the wall right where there's the checkpoint and the Sherpa to resupply and if you fight the tetrapod from there and never jump beyond the wall where you'll be locked in the arena triggering the coming of the PCA ship, you'll quickly realize that the tetrapod actually has infinite health and cannot ever die. I'm currently battling it and he jumped above the wall to come and fight me and he has zero health left. He can only be killed by the PCA.
nothing incredible, just sharing what I found when playing and replaying the game again and again.
Now he's stuck trying to go back in the arena, jumping in place it's cute. I don't want it to be killed by the PCA I'll see if I can drag it back further into the map away from lazers.
report back with results, see if you can somehow break the game by moving him too far away.
He died when they sent in the drones. He refused to follow me far away from this place and was standing on the verge of the battlefield until a lazer or a drone got him...
Did they nerf the tiny shotgun?
Halderman? very slightly nerfed but it doesn’t matter. 205 to 195 direct hit adjustment.
Sweet Sixteen? No change at all.
well deserved, it would be GOTY if baldurs gate 3 didnt release this year
uhhhh wtf bros I thought this was smoldering failure? Just look at the fighting game player count charts
pvp sucks and people moved on after finishing the single player. What is there to talk about?
I like seing builds in PvP...
Ok.
I'd like to have a good pvp mode attached to the build autism though.
Why? People rarely have an interesting build/paint job, it's all the same handful of builds all named LOADER 4 every time
>LOADER 4
US West. Aside from a single dude and his wheelchair build, no other loader 4s here, anon
Shitters are gone you see actual builds now
This is not true. I still see the same dual pistol, huxley, dagger/bunker build almost all the time.
You should automatically be able to collect builds and emblems of those you defeat.
No frick you. I'm not sharing my shit with homosexuals playing their gay meta builds. I'm already barely playing pvp if it was like that I'd go offline eternally.
Just finished the 3rd ending
>Cuckguazu is the final boss
Lol, lmao even
On the Fires of Raven route Carla tells 621 to honor Rusty by remembering him; meanwhile ALLMIND calls Iguazu a mistake
lol indeed
I got the third ending literally minutes ago.
Beautiful game; one of the games I've enjoyed the most this year. I need more of this.
I did it last night feels good bro. I got about 20 S-rankers left for that platty.
Just did the third ending. What a pile of shit, no Rusty kino at all. I recommend anyone else stupid enough to play this game to just do the liberation ending and drop it. Awful missions interspersed with Malenia tier aids garbage fights. I can't believe the penultimate in the 3rd ending was that server shit, but then again the whole campaign is filled with crap like that
Yeah that true end is absolute garbage. That hacking walls BS shouldn't qualify as a mission.
Huh, I thought DS2 sold 4 million copies?
Jesse...
James~
On NG++. I dunked on so many bosses and now this "Coral Export Denial" is tripping me up
Light build, 2 of the light laser rifles, nothing else. Boosters with best vertical thrust and consumption. A double tap kills a chopper.
All endings except for Flames of Raven are laughably bad.
Fires of raven is the cucked ending. The only ending where you fail despite sacrificing everything.
>The only ending where you fail
Fail how? You do exactly what walter sets out to do from the beginning. The coral crisis is averted for a long, long time.
Not with Allmind still present. All she has to do is find the right players and she can accomplish coral release.
Allmind is never a threat until the first 2 endings are completed.
She’s a never a threat because all the endings eventually lead to coral release. It’s inevitable.
>It’s inevitable.
why
>burned everything just for the cycle to repeat all over again later
>ALLMIND is still out there trying to perform Coral Release
Play NG++. ALLMIND's reaction to Walter's scheme is indifference because she knows she can just try again. It's as pointless as linking the fire in DS3.
This is operating under the assumption that Allmind even gets to the point of planning coral release in the first place without 2 soft reboots of the plot.
I assume Coral Release was her goal all along, which is why you get attacked by her stealth mechas in the BAWS arsenal investigation and also Sulla guarding the watchpoint
>I assume
Yeah, I know. It's open ended by you have to be a gay homosexual about it.
ALLMIND is deploying Mystery homies even in NG, AC6 is basically a war between two AI (the Enforcement System and ALLMIND) over what to do with the corsl where the corps and mercs are pawns and OVERSEER is a rogue agent who's trying to flip the table. But both AIs know that even if OVERSEER succeeds in flipping the table, they can just reset the pieces and start again.
3 million sold after elden ring is pretty pathetic tbh
>filtered
Is Ayre's and ALLMIND's final boss ACs stronger than a NEXT?
No.
I've never played AC4, how fricking crazy do NEXTs get?
>I've never played AC4
Then play it.
They're easily 3x faster than all the ACs while having 2007 game era regenerating shields/health
while also outranging everyone
Walter bring a final boss is stupid. Rusty randomly getting killed is stupid.
There's really only one thing the DLC needs.
>they cut her dying scream
Does the third ending have no conclusion to Rusty's plot, or did I miss something?
It feels like the most complete one, except for this part. Rusty is one of the main characters.
He disappears from the plot after your fight with him and Flatwell.
People on YouTube have said that he got assimilated and you can hear his voice during the ALLMIND fight, but that seems false from what I've seen.
Heard he does talk in the japanese version.
Asian girls!
Frickin sweet! Glad it was successful, I hope it gets a big DLC and some sequels. I'm brand new to the genre, AC6 is my goty and I just started AC2 today after beating 1 yesterday. Didn't play the expansions to 1 yet because I was unaware of the human plus stuff, so I'm saving that and the expansions for a replay some other time. I can't believe a series I am enjoying so much was just sitting there this whole time without me knowing I'd enjoy it so much.
Oh yeah, I'd like to add Elden Ring sucks.
>How did things go SO RIGHT for a long dead IP from a decade ago brought back into current day?
because it's fromsoft
brand prestige makes it infinitely easier for something to be a success
did they remove the extra drm and anti-cheat?
No I got deleted straight to desktop mid mission by the easy anti cheat for no reason today
LIES, DS1/2 and BB sold more than 3 mil each
https://segmentnext.com/dark-souls-franchise-sales/
They should gave us wheels legs
I don't know why they turn nightfall raven into a 1v3 anti rebel Lautrec style ganker in NG+. Luckily her friends are useless and usually die before she shows up
BRANCH is working for ALLMIND. Why else would they leak details about resurgent coral to Arquebus?
