I want to know which one of you fricking morons suggested I waste my time with this game.
>unfun combat with no feedback or really any engaging mechanics
>Sterile unfun battle environments
>bad, fuzzy graphics that epitomize the worst of early 3D
Frick you. I'm loading up AC3 next time
fil to the tered.
>filtered
Not at all. I hardly got hit on any missions I went on. It's just not fun. Love the music and vibes but the actual game?
No thanks.
Not in my thread when I asked.
Everyone and their dog told you to start with 3.
2 has the best karasawa in the series.
Karasawa is fricking died
shut the frick up you Black person homosexual moron subhuman piece of dogshit
probably me, you the one from the thread from the other day?
Could be, I was looking for Gen 6 and 7 advice and mentioned I have a bias against Gen 5 3D.
Somebody pushed me to play AC1 and so I did for 2 hours.
yeah that was me
at least you tried
I hate being right about my predictions. Being delightfully wrong is always the best. I did try. I can see the appeal but I think you totally missed my message about the drawbacks of early 3D.
I thought the draw distance was fine
Yes. The draw distance was fine but the textures and enemy models were quite awful. The enemy MTs looked fine by the flying guys were blurry messes, the textures were an eye assault in motion and at a distance..
I wasn't really enjoying or appreciating any "art" in the visuals. It was just like lots of earlier video games fighting technical limits in that it expressed what it needed to but didn't manage to make that fun to look at. SOME older games managed to art deisgn themselves into looking timeless or at least not being hard to look at but AC1 for sure felt hard to look at for me.
But yeah I don't feel lied to about anything you said. Don't worry. I just know you have to be a c**t in the OP or nobody gets baited into bumping my thread
Are you the one who posted the gameplay webm where you were playing like a moron?
yes?
yeah I certainly wouldn't call it pretty
meant 4
You need to git gud.
>that dynamic lighting
Could PS1 really do that, or it's some emulation trickery?
>Could PS1 really do that
yeah, it's a good console and the developers weren't lazy morons back then
this shit is so funny, you play like a cuck and a moron
Well I guess I'm happy you tried it out of curiosity. I'm sorry you didn't like it and I hope when you play 3 you prefer it.
I'll probably enjoy them plenty. I know I like mecha anime and games, I just have particular biases about old games.
Have a good one fella. I would say AC1 didn't seem to be a BAD game, it just isn't one I want to play to the finish.
Normally I would agree. I was just trying to be open minded.

why would you or anyone else bother with the pieces of shit that are ps1 ACs
MIGHT AS WELL PLAY KINGS FIELD 4 INSTEAD OF DARK SOULS
I never understood why zoomers are so allergic to the PS1 games. You do realize that the PS2 games play literally identically to the PS1 trilogy up to Silent Line, right? You may as well just skip the entire series and only play For Answer like most of you Miyazaki dickriders. At least stay consistent.
I'm not a zoomer and so long as AC3 has better environments and enemies who aren't made of 12 total polygons who I can't even really discern the silhouette or design of? So long as the environments feel bigger than your average Mariokart 64 Battle Mode map? I'll probably love it.
Imma be honest with you little zoomie, if you got filtered by 1, then playing 2, 2:AA, 3, or silent line will not change your opinion of the series. All of those games play similarly outside of added mechanics like overheating. Stop posturing and acting like you got filtered by the graphics, otherwise you wouldn't skip 2. You got gatekept, simple as. Some games are just not meant for certain people.
Not. A. Zoomer.
Contain your idiotic biases that convince you that videogames during the infancy of 3D weren't flawed in many respects. Please. I'm glad you can appreciate those things wholeheartedly as if you can't see the obvious drawbacks and inadequacies but I can't and don't.
>All of those games play similarly
The gameplay wasn't the flaw and if you weren't so busy defending your nostalgia goggles for PS1 era gaming, you'd be able to see that in what I've said ITT
>Not. A. Zoomer.
>complains about graphics in a fricking ps1 game
>turbo reddit spacing
Post driver's license kid
Driver's License? To make you feel better about youself? Eat my wiener. I'm 30. Not a zoomer. Raised on NES/SNES/GB/PS1/N64.
Early 3D was an awkward phase where devs were learning how to make a whole new kind of game AND the hardware was... not amazing.
Listen zoomie, the environment sizes don't really increase from 1 to 3. So if your only complaint is environment sizes then you're sorely going to be disappointed until you play something like AC4, which is basically a flight game in disguise.
You got gatekept, just stop trying to justify yourself to us. You will never be a real Armored Core fan, but that's ok. You don't have to be. Go play AC6 when it releases and have fun, kiddo.
>Listen zoomie, the environment sizes don't really increase from 1 to 3.
If the density of the environment improves, that's good enough. AC1 never put me into an area I felt was fun or fight in or drove any sort of interesting gameplay choices or feelings. Surely by 3 they manage to learn how to make a scenario with interesting varied terrain and environments.
Only real change on the PS2 games over the PS1 games are the draw distance. PS2 only had 32MBs of RAM, you'll get flat buildings, some hills and some trees and you'll like it.
dont say i didnt tell you so, good luck zoomie
AC3 is extremely braindead and easy, it feels like it was made for literal babies
you're just moronic
you think it sucks because you suck, git gud
I got filtered by 3 so bad
I remember renting Silent Line and sucking ass but I thought I'd be better after playing the games after 4
I wish I wasn't shit at vidya
You playing on real PS2?
Try emulator and rebind camera to the right stick.
Game will play like modern-ish console action game.
Nexus and Last Raven do that by default anyway, and are much harder than 3 and SL.
You still need to learn bunny hopping and heat control.
Emulating, I didn't frick with the controls at all but my main problem was turning and trying to hit shit while attempting to bunny hop
Not him but keep at it. After a while the controls will click.
Yeah well, keep getting god at it, it's rewarding in the long run.
>the camera controls will just be 8-axis if you do that, not true analog movement
Same as Nexus and LR, just like I said.
You're not getting proper analog controls until 4 anyway.
which is why binding camera controls to the face buttons is actually the enlightened way of playing these games
This is bad advice because the camera controls will just be 8-axis if you do that, not true analog movement. In some instances its actually worse than the default
What's all this about b-hops? OP here and I'm just assuming it's something like a heat/fuel/energy or whatever thing where iot's better to jump a little and coast on momentum to save meters? Probably loading AC3 tomorrow.
have a nice day secondary Black person, no one cares about your blog
Bunnyhopping is a thing since quake 1.
Not-zoomer-kun.
If you've learned it through 10 first games, yes.
>Bunnyhopping is a thing since quake 1.
That doesn't mean it's mechanically identical in all games, fricktard. If there was a specific nuance to AC bunnyhopping, I wanted to know.
Also I never EVER learned it in games other than Titanfall 2. Never cared enough to b-hop in CSS or whatever else.
You're so cute I almost want to hug you.
bros I'm playing through the series and 1 is the only game I really liked so far, is that normal?
from what I've seen people consider it to be mediocre but I think it has the best missions, and I didn't like any of the new features like the extensions and inside parts
yeah it's just jumping while boosting, since breaking is bad and ruins your momentum
Figured. Thanks bud.
Thanks pal, love you too.
>rebind camera to the right stick
don't do this, don't use the default controls in Nexus/LR either, they're shit
>I am become the speed
Holy based
I did a blade only run through AC4A when I was a teenager. Wish I could get that emulator working
Sorry OP, you just have shit taste
Played ace combat 2-5 and want to mix it up a bit before going 6-7. Which armored core games should I go for?
if you liked ace combat 2 and 3 just start with the first game, it wouldn't filter you
