I already S ranked every fricking mission what else do you want me to do? Not every game is a live service game you zoomer homosexual.
armored core used to be live service, once
name one live service armored core game
The PSP game that was just arena adhoc. Lots of that adhoc stuff thrived in japan and nowhere else due to population density.
What kit did you use to S rank the C-weapon bullshit. Even Snail-Baltheus wasn't that hard to S-rank. I fricking hate the damn stray missiles eat so much fricking health.
Are you talking about defend the mining walking ship? Or the fight against iblis?
You only fight those little fricks from the Ibis boss level if you wish to waste your ammo. Totally unnecessary, but I mean defend the mining ship.
Just use missiles. Any kind of missiles and explosives. They're both weak to explosive and quickly losing balance when hit with it.
It's maddening how weak the ost was when you give a try to the ost of the older entries
But I fricking hate relying on missiles dammit. Also my favorite is that Songbirds were nerfed (at least with how the hits register for me) one volley can't even kill one of the grind wheels.
Strangely enough, they are also weak to flamers so those work well.
KEK!
Then use the "melee" explosive arm, the Chinese one. The weapon everyone calls pocket sand because of how it looks like that attack in japanese fights with the guy using sand to blind his opponent.
Except the sand also explodes here.
I forgot the name of that part.
Good luck finding the timing to hit the wheels though.
It's called the thank you come again in my group. Whatever chinky name it has sounds like "thank you."
>Good luck finding the timing to hit the wheels though.
Keep your eye on the distance readout and use it when they are at 100-120 range. You'll always hit.
>It's maddening how weak the ost was when you give a try to the ost of the older entries
The chick that did the soundtrack for AC6 left the studio before the game released.
No clue if she was let go or whatever but Elden ring and AC6 were both weak soundtrack wise. Both are elevator music with 2-3 interesting tracks stretched over a long playtime like too little butter on too much toast.
This.
>I get tired of the boring lame music of elden ring so I turn it off
>there's almost no ambiant noises in the entire game outside of the sound of the wind
I hate everything about elden ring so much. The ost, the map, the copy pasted dungeons, the copy pasted mini bosses, the copy pasted locations, the enemies scattered everywhere with no sense of intelligent design surrounding encounters, it makes me feel empty.
And I'm mad when I see how popular it is just because it's le open world.
Statistically 70-80% of the elden ring players never toucher the older fromsoft games. No sekiro. No Bloodborne. No dark souls. No demon's soul. And they think to make a good soulbirn you just need to drop strong enemies in a big map and to be able to teleport anywhere.
The entirety of ER's soundtrack is weak except the main theme and the ancestor spirit theme. Main theme isn't even good it just resonates well when it kicks in during the final boss fight.
I've got weird musical interests though. I recently went deep into Geinoh Yamashirogumi and only had to stop when I got to the LP that starts with a woman screeching like her child died for a minute. Shit got too experimental for me.

Do you really need bait to get a thread going
Yep that is the state of Gankereddit
This is pretty much the only way you can get a live AC thread
Thought I was the only one who noticed lately how fricking determined everyone is to ignore conversational threads and rotor hump porn and bait threads.
>lately
It's been like that for years now. Gankerincels only get fired up with bait threads. They never talk about what they like so to get a thread going you need porn or a rage bait.
I blame plebbitors who after spending an hour on reddit getting humbled and humiliated and forced to scream internally without letting slip even a single particle of sincerity ( because if they do they get banned ) come to Ganker to use it as a personal litterbox.
I want a verdict day sequel
I want a Macross sim game that blends this combat system with Ace Combat
Imagine getting beaten by worst Korean slop
I hope people who post steam charts are against the wall right after the eceleb homosexual posters
1500 players is fricking pathetic for a Fromsoft game, so I guess this ends the lie that fromgays care about anything other than soulshit
Trying too hard lil sis.
I HATE STAGGER BARS I HATE STAGGER BARS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FRICK SEKIRO FRICK SEKIRO FRICK SEKIRO FRICK SEKIRO
It works and feels nothing like Sekiro's posture mechanic.
It does though. You get into the same "rhythm game" mindset when you are in the flow.
That isn't a bad thing but anyone saying it isn't inspired because of Sekiro is straight up shitposting.
Same combat director was in charge of both games and they had to change how stagger worked in AC games to accommodate it.
How Stagger works in Sekiro isn't even unique to it they just made the hidden meter in the souls games visible
Don't care bro. Old AC games didn't work like this. Only the one made after Sekiro helmed by the guy that did Sekiro is handled like this.
The influence is clear as day.
It was an amazing game, not every game needs to be played forever. A great experience is a good product in itself.
Hail the Lord of Crocodiles
I made Megaman X by accident.
I am part of the OG fanbase and this game did not alienate me. It's probably on par with FA or VD. It's fine. In fact I probably liked it a little bit more than those games because it reminds me more a bit more of the ps1/ps2 games than the later entries.
Stop being moronic, op.
I've been playing since AC2 and 6 is my favorite. I still don't think ricochet and stagger are balanced to where they should be but the actual gameplay is better than it's ever been and the story was fun.
nobody cares about AC grognards lmao
Look at how mad she is!
My only problem with the game is that I don't like the more open missions with how they are presented, it feels like wasted space from them just wanting to make a cool boss and a cool boss alone. The Arena was great since it had the good 1v1 or 1vmany strong forces focus instead of 1 strong boss and many weak mechs.
I kind of liked how some missions reused maps. It felt good having to go into the hole where you got snatched and interrogated by Snail and realizing it was attached to an early game level the whole time was pretty cool.
Defang test pilot just being in 1 small block of a larger map you've already played was also cool.
the opposite happened
easy goty
They tuned stagger too far for heavies. You can be shadowing a DOM type spamming your Ludlows and getting all hits and you'll actually see their ACS bar going down in real time.
>have a friend who likes Zelda and Genshin Impact
>invite him to try and play some AC6
>he hates it because there's no relatable human waifus, nor is there any human faces to see
>drops the game immediately
>goes back to watching his favorite anime aka Naruto
I hate zoomer culture so damn much.
Self hatred never leads anywhere good.
>I'm not a zoomer
Then you are an older person that associates with zoomers, probably on a discord.
That makes you look worse than just being an ignorant youngster.
I'm 34 and mechs and space shit are gay
>I'm 34 and gay
weird post but okay
Kill him. Use poison.
I don't want that thing to reproduce.
>>he hates it because there's no relatable human waifus, nor is there any human faces to see
based.
I found the narrative of ac6 to be exhaustingly similar to the rehashed souls plots of rekindling and cycles. But I absolutely love the artistic direction of this game. These gigantic and intricately dense mechanical structures are so cool to look at and fly around on. It's a shame the gameplay feels so easy and unrewarding, otherwise this would be a real favorite of mine.
the strange feed the fire shit was 100% marketing to try and rope in the soulslets.
The game would have been served better cutting all those lines and only having the coral release black hole dark sign be there. When your "homage" is a literal black hole warping reality you can justify it.
AC's only saving grace in that regard is that the defacto correct option is to just burn the planet again, and again, and again. It inversed the narrative of the souls games and how you shouldn't light another fire.
Nope, trying too hard lil sister.
I like the blackhole ending, I think it's very impactful. It really gave me the feeling of "Wait, did I frick up?" when I saw it, then it was "Oh, maybe not" and finally "Wait, did I frick up?".
I loved it from a conceptual point. I never fell for being an Ayre simp but get that 621 is in that ending. A black hole forming right before all the wackiness is a good way to clue the player in that they shouldn't be thinking too seriously about this it is just wish fulfillment for sad lonely incels.
People theorycrafting on how dlc would add to that ending is laughable though.
It's safe to say that new AC blows and it's a blunder. Fromsoft can't innovate nor move on from their 2006 engine and awful gameplay.
It's alright but it feels more like mecha sekiro than AC and that makes me sad.
the sekiro stagger bar was fricking gay and ruined the game
It actually didn't. The game has so many issues that if you removed the stagger shit it would only suck like 10% less.
honestly my main complaint is that there's not much to do besides playing the barebones PVP mode after you 100% the game. I did everything and only picked the game back up if I wanted to get frustated in PvP
add a rougelike or survival or wave mode or something
Only 3 tank legs
Only 3 reverse joints
Only 2 tetrapod legs
Internals gutted to only 3 slots
No real sniper cannons
Most guns that aren't missiles can't be used beyond 200m
>casual souls players
The only casual Souls fans are the ones who watch Vaati videos and don't actually play games
Say what you will about their overhyped reputation but the simple fact that you have to manage resources and pay attention to not die means there aren't really casual Souls fans. There's a level of sweatiness inherent in the series just like RTS and fighting games.
I gave it a chance but just cant get into it
>put reverse joints
>Use homing projectiles
>Jump around, fly high and press buttons
>Braindead win
The game is great, but why would I use anything else other than reverse joints? I never had a single issue once I put those on in my 3 playthroughs.
The game is easy enough that you can use whatever you want, that's kind of the point. You liking reverse joints is a-okay. Some other anon probably went through the whole game in a tank treads because he's enlisted in the army or some shit.
The freedom the game gives you is the best part.
I put on reverse joints for the smart cleaner fight and the stealth section (i flew over everything) but besides that i can't really think of a time in the campaign i really felt like using them. used heavy reverse joint legs 99% of the time with double earshot + zimmies. found out shotguns were busted as shit on release when i was revising my strategy to kill balteus.
oh shit i mean quadrapeds for smart cleaner and stealth section, im moronic
ricochet and the stagger bar destroyed this game
every bullet is too slow every enemy takes too long to kill unless you have a burst damage option to capitalize on stagger every enemy is too far away so you can't snipe them both because of ricochet and because of low bullet speed and they can always dodge anyways
actually
where are the fricking sniper rifles
People adapted to stagger and it's fine if not tuned well yet. Ricochet is completely irredeemable at the conceptual level.
We lost actual long range gameplay, stagger wasn't the reason. Ricochet existing destroyed entire gameplay styles.
>every bullet is too slow every enemy takes too long to kill unless you have a burst damage option to capitalize on stagger every enemy is too far away so you can't snipe them both because of ricochet and because of low bullet speed and they can always dodge anyways
You don't understand how the FCS aiming in the game works. Ricochet is dogshit but you shouldn't be missing shot unless you are actively firing your guns when the FCS isn't locked on yet.
Fire a steady stream of ammo into a mech as they dodge and watch what happens. Now do the same thing but stop shooting when they dodge and start back up when they finish the dodge and then watch what happens.
Most people that play the game don't understand the actual combat. I hate DS2 but aiming in AC is like ADP in DS2, stats actually effect it it isn't just a blanket mechanic that operates in a static sense.
I don't care about your stupid question. What I want to know is why is the pvp so limited when it'd be easy to implement a wave/survival mp mode and a coop for the campaign/make new missions.
Why are they letting go so easily a game with so much potential without even trying?
And where's my hard/extreme mode?
I'm hoping we'll see an expansion of the multiplayer in the sequel like Verdict Day did for ACV.
I assume fromsoft wanted to prioritize getting the new game polished for release and had limited resources since the previous entries had sold so much less.
Is there actually any justification for playing long range? Not trying to shitpost but I really wanna know in VI specifically.
The people saying long range doesn't exist anymore are telling a half truth. Long range is just missile spamming now (missiles always do damage and can't ricochet except truenos which shouldn't be missile specced to begin with).
If you play a long distance missile spammer there are entire tiers of other players you'll beat without ever being hit once.
That's why I dropped this pvp.
Too many homosexuals playing with ultra optimized ass homosexual builds only looking to win and speed switching after checking your build.
You just want to win? Ok, have fun alone in your deserted online you wiener suckers.
Easiest way to filter those types is set the player count to 9 then put anyone playing too tryhard onto spectate.
Also, the new report a player function actual works.
That guy that flies up to you in the beginning of every round to kill you with kicks? You can report him for stalking you now.
just beat the true ending. what was with ALLMIND suddenly having an iguazu clone? i liked the fight and having a proper final duel with him but i don't really understand it. that and coral release, i don't understand that either.
the song that plays in the true ending credits, the one with the vocals, was probably the best song. dunno why there wasnt more like it
meant for
Kek he's trying the memes again!
Over/under on her asking why the last 3 arena ranks are locked all of a sudden?
what the frick are you homosexuals talking about? did i accidentally use the same words as some thread schizo?
because they are locked to the ng++ route. and im a man, homosexual
>just beat the true ending. what was with
LOL
LMAO even!
It's a fun game but is not challenging whatsoever, most of the factions are too damn stingy to throw their big guns at you so you spend most of the game killing helicopters and MT's which die in 1 shot, the most fun is trying to actually survive the set piece encounters like the planet closure administration agents who try to double team you.
If you want to have great fun I recommend challenge builds. For instance I played once with the lightest core I could build. Two sampu and a dagger.
Game is really cool and fun when you're forced to manage the little ammo and health you have, you need to handicap yourself a little.
>you need to handicap yourself a little.
lol no. You can't be hit by anything over 350 boost. You can beat everything with literal punches and kicks if you make your AC a lightweight.
Yeah I know what you mean but light AC's are basically untouchable and I like playing Heavy builds, honestly I just think this should have been the game were they should have reused enemies to their hearts content, I mean we fight the top PCA cavalry like twice, at some point we even fight the top 2 AC's from the arena, they could have spammed us with tough enemies accompanied with trash mobs just to balance out how powerful our AC really is.
my beef with this game is still the soundtrack, I have to put the music on mute and blast my own because it fricking sucks.
Same. I have to play pvp with something else on for noise because the audio tracks for pvp give me a really strange sense of dread after like 20 minutes.
Feels like slipping into the backrooms at points.
>can tell the game isn't going to fire and we'll have to requeue because the countdown clicks aren't synced to the music right
I had a lot of problems with AC6, but what killed replayability and long-term commitment to the game for me was the lack of any sort of mid-tier difficulty in PVE.
I'm either steamrolling through the levels or dying a ton to bosses like CEL240 or Balteus or what have you.
I can probably count in one hand the number of times I died outside of a boss.
So once I've reasonably mastered the bosses (meaning, I can beat them without dying and needing to restart the boss checkpoint or even not needing to use healing items), what else is there left that can kill me? Nothing. I'm not gonna die to shitter unmanned MTs. Nor am I going to die to ACs when I can stunlock them to death in like 20-30 seconds.
The only thing close to fail states I experienced after this is just getting A-Ranks when I am chasing for S-Ranks, like "Investigate BAWS Arsenal No. 2", with its insanely tight time limit and ammo allowed to be used before you fail your S-Rank and only get an A-Rank.
The only part of the game that came close to having "mid tier" difficulty was the missions with the cokehead Coral MTs or those Bonewheel Helianthus enemies. And they're only in a grand total of TWO (2) missions out of the 50+ missions in the game.
Overall, the game did have problems, but considering that the series has been on hiatus for 10 years, what they tried was really impressive. Most fun I've had in an AC game since a long time. Easily an 8/10, but with tons of room for an improvement.
Really with how often they intelligently reuse levels and assets I don't think the game was expensive at all. So unless the big suits at fromsoft are mega israelites there's no reason not to bet on AC and improve it by using 6 as a developing ground.
Not all games should be giant AAA turds costing trillions.
>I don't think the game was expensive at all.
The marketing was probably the more expensive part of the whole thing. Bamco gave it all, plastering it on public buses, putting the trailers on movie theater preview slots, hiring actors like Karl Urban in their TV ads, and even a spot in Times Square.
it seems that there's only ONE solution left for Armored Core to retain the zoomer playerbase without them leaving for other games with waifus...
Cute kemono girls
Is this a mental illness of some kind? Why does he always do this after people laugh at him for
what
It's literally a bunch of dumb idiots who shit up AC threads over the most smallest things
>Is this a mental illness of some kind?
Big yes
He's signaling and always does the same rotation when he does it. There's a reason anon asked what the odds of him asking about the 3 locked arena ranks.
He always seethes and leaves when you talk past him like this. Notice the thread died because he stopped spamming shitposts?
It's better this way.
AC bros, which should I play next if I 100% 6 as my first mecha game and loved every second of it? Should've gotten into this shit long ago.
Try them in chronological order. See how the series evolved and take your pics from there.
All of them in release order. They all play similarly and you get to see the advancements they made along the way. When you get to the PS360 you can stop, those games aren't really armored core games.
>When you get to the PS360 you can stop, those games aren't really armored core games.
Based
1 and Arena. Then play any of the PS2 games that look interesting, or just skip to Last Raven. Then 4 and For Answer if you have a good PC.
Most of the games have moronic default controls so make sure you visit the in-game options menus.
Don't fall for nostalgiaBlack person slop. Do challenge runs in ac6 or move on.
Don't listen to this Black persongay. Even the PS1 games are cool and they're short so you can finish them fast.
Sekiro then DxM.
I'm an OG fan and wasn't alienated. You're just a loser among your fellow doomposters, one who got btfo when this game came out and was liked.
AC6 is unquestionably top 3 for the series alongside Last Raven and For Answer. Baby boy just got filtered.
>they threw away a good series for nothing
This series was never good, lmfao
shit taste op
Ayre lives in my head rent-free
i live in iguazu's head rent free
>not building her a coral-based bot so you can hold and caress her physically
AC size or human size?
Does it matter?
You don't get to bring up Sidonia when he pussied out on a functional harem, and her being huge compared to him.
He obviously had no end game planned and it was all just neat concepts he thought to string together.
The only part that felt like he was drawing/writing something interesting to him was when he was first explaining how the mechs fly in formation.
Everything else was superfluous bullshit so he could find a way to visualize a squadron flying in zero g.
It's seems to be the case especially Schizos
Currently working my way through NG++ and it's crazy just how much easier the game is on your second or third run compared to the first. Balteus and Ibis kicked my ass so many times but now they're no trouble at all.
Yeah, it does a good job making you feel stronger with all the stuff you obtain during the story. I hope you burn the planet in the first run, ally the rubicanian in the second run. That is the most "sense" in term of story order.
You do remember that you have far better tools to use. Also they patched the shit out of both. I wondered why I could beat Ibis with only 1 repair kit during NG+.
