The power of a hot blooded rival with a MASSIVE inferiority complex built up over the game. That shit was quintessential anime the way it played out, and I loved every second. I didn't expect them to go that hard with him, but that last fight sealed the deal for me. Nailed the classic character archetype to a T, along with how they handled Rusty, Snail, and even Walter getting some quasi-redemption. (My doggy went and found a friend)
>Walter getting some quasi-redemption I think he was right all along. Honestly went along with the burning of coral on my first playthrough, and all the way till the end of NG++ I thought it was ultimately the best choice. Ayre's option of "uh, just kill Carla and let's hope we figure something out" is plain horrible, and while the true ending is pretty vague about the consequences for humans, it does seem dangerous
Yeah that's why I say ""quasi"", because I mean only in regards to his relationship to 621. The old man seemed like a coldhearted gruff sonuvabitch, but he actually cared about you in his own way. I found that really touching, especially with most of his mind gone during the final confrontation. It wasn't where I was expecting them to go with the dynamic between Hound and Handler. I was expecting a rebellion, and I sort of got it, but not how I imagined..
You're absolutely right about burning the coral being the most prudent, safe choice for the galaxy at large. Trying to keep them contained or letting them spread eerywhere will definitely have dire ramifications that are totally impossible to predict. They'll flip absolutely everything on its head in short order and it's sure to be a violent process. But hopefully people will come to understand the coral beore its too late
>The old man seemed like a coldhearted gruff sonuvabitch, but he actually cared about you in his own way.
True, I think he's portrayed as a calculating, "goals justify the means" kind of a character, especially whenever you hear about the previous hounds like 617, 618 and so on. But during the actual game he is shown to value you and care about you multiple times. Like going off at Snail I think, telling him to "show my hound some respect", or leaving some choices to you. I remember somewhere near the end while talking to Carla he says something like "621 is going to be an important piece, so I don't think I should be the one making the choice".
Overall, I did like him as a character.

Yeah I'm a sucker for dynamics like that. I never expected that well executed character archetypes and good dialog would be a major part of what made me love an Armored Core game. I've been starved for really good new anime and strangely, AC6 sorta gave me that.
Yesterday was an Elden Ring thread fest, they all ended up shitty, it was a festival of morons saying "no, you're troony. No you're troony, no you"
While the only AC6 thread was pretty calm by the standards here.
I'm afraid that in the future something similar will happen to the AC community but then I remember that normies have a phobia to mechs.
It's really not that difficult when you equip an OP build and try to get through the mission as quickly as possible, including avoiding enemies. The main contributor to rank is time I think, although killing enemies means you can take more damage
Some of the missions I thought would be really annoying were actually easy when you figured out the trick. For example the NEPENTHES mission I thought would be tough, but I found a spot where you can just fall continuously without taking damage
I mostly actually liked doing it, but that's because I just enjoyed the game play enough. However you usually need either the most OP build possible or something very specific to the mission, and some that seem as though they should be easy are ridiculous. I only got the one from "Destroy the Transport Helicopters" because of a trick you can do to end the mission faster.

>Iguazu hating you so much that he breaks ALLMIND's control for a final 1v1
Sad thing is that for all intents within the story Iguazu was apparently a very good pilot but his potential was marred by his own pettiness and insecurity. Between him, Snail and arguably Walter/Carla I'd say the game had pretty good set of antagonists/villains. Yes I'm putting Walter/Carla here because they still wanted to commit genocide, destroy a planet and it's surrounding space and kill who knows how many people even if their intentions were ultimately good.
How come sometimes people die when you destroy their ACs, and sometimes they're still alive? Can newer gens augmented humans control ACs remotely or something? Or am I supposed to just assume that they used some emergency eject or something?
From what I get it's basically a matter of if their wienerpits blew or something. The game generally does a decent job of letting you know if someone is dead though. Especially with Snail thankfully.
Agreed but I'd put ALLMIND in there too, as the opposite extreme of Walter/Carla. Release the Coral throughout the galaxy consequences to the rest of civilization be damned, and very willing to destroy anything in its way to achieve this
Ostensibly, ALLMIND is an AI (and exists for all mercenaries) but I personally think there's more to her than that.
I believe what began as an artificial intelligence meant to coordinate between independent mercenaries and their clients was, at some point before the start of the game, hijacked and repurposed by a Coral lifeform named "Seria", who had a relationship with Thumb Dolmayan of the Coral Liberation Front analogous to 621's relationship with Ayre. But they had a falling out because Seria wanted to free the Coral from Rubicon, whereas Dolmayan wanted to keep the Coral contained on that planet and isolated from the galaxy at large (CORAL! ABIDE WITH RUBICON!) So Seria ditched Dolmayan and went her own way, looking for something she could use in order to progress her cause. Now we know that Ayre can take over electronics, and we know that ALLMIND cares about the Coral above all else. So rather than ALLMIND being an AI that just went rogue and decided to be a Coral sympathizer I think it's more likely that Seria is using the ALLMIND system to manipulate events behind the scenes.
>hijacked and repurposed by a Coral lifeform
How would that work? Coral lifeforms can take over machines that use coral in them - that makes sense, but how could coral possibly influence an AI?

Because that anon is just making stuff up in his head. ALLMIND is obviously a reference to Raven’s Nest from the first AC games.

I don't think it influenced it, I think it took over the system and replaced it. Long ago. Similar to what happens when the Xylems systems are taken over, or when Ayre took direct control of the Closure Satellites. It isn't just ACs that Coral lifeforms can manipulate. They can search databases and interact with systems, we know this. Ayre does it often. And it just makes more sense to me than ALLMIND being just an AI with a out-of-left-field agenda to simp for the Coral.

>making stuff up
Maybe read the part where I made it clear this was my own hypothesis.
It is an era in which mankind receives orders from AI and uses AI to fight with each other. Even the PCA uses AI to calculate the possibility of information and attack range. It is possible that Carla is also an AI, created to carry on the will of the real Carla who has died.
You think its a little undercooked and low budget compared to their previous offerings. Like there should be more single player stuff but they weren't confident it would make money. The over simplified mechanics also make you feel a little patronized, like from thought you would be too stupid to properly control a mech without bucking like kou uraki's first space fight so they automated everything for you. Which is a little weird because from never cared about accessibility until this point.
I considered using jap dub for a second playthrough, but the subtitles are so fricking small and it's impossible to read during all the chaos. English is the way to go for this game
I played with Jap dub for a while. They're both good, but ultimately I prefered english, because they do talk a fair amount during missions, so it's easy to miss the subtitles mid-combat.
>complains about how japanese voice acting makes a japanese mech game too anime >most of the english voice actors are anime dub VAs
Can’t help morons anon, don’t even bother trying
yeah, english is miles better. I say this as someone who enjoys jap dub, but here it sounds like a fricking anime. English is way more military style/serious tone.
English is better for Michigan alone
This
Yeah Eng dub is really really good. Don't listen to the autists who tell you to play in Japanese, only do that for Sekiro
By the way, I feel like I missed something with the backstory about the fires of Ibis.
So there was the professor, 2 assistants and a boy, right? Assistant 2 if I remember correctly was Cindy, the boy I assumed was Walter, professor Nagai ended up sacrificing himself and dying in the fires of Ibis, but who was assistant 1? The one who supposedly went mad, and wanted to develop the augmentation surgeries?
How come sometimes people die when you destroy their ACs, and sometimes they're still alive? Can newer gens augmented humans control ACs remotely or something? Or am I supposed to just assume that they used some emergency eject or something?
for gameplay purposes the AC is destroyed, narratively some pilots are smart enough to retreat after suffering too much damage, like during the ice worm none of your team is actually wrecked
You're supposed to assume it's the difference between disabling their AC and leaving them stranded, or a shot that pierces the core/wienerpit, or completely destroying the enemy's AC and it going up in a spectacular fireball. In gameplay such subtle differences are lost so every AC has a similar "death" animation regardless of what the outcome is supposed to be. But that's why we have dialog and story context to fill in that gap.
Some pilots are for bullying, not killing right away. It is their destiny.
You were disappointed because the camera was ass and the fact that fricking robots have a stagger meter. You concluded in your livestream that the game was mid at best and then placed your testicles upon the game in defiance. All in all pretty good review anon.
Do you guys have favourite builds/weapons?
Despite making many more specialized builds, I ended up playing like 80% of the game with a pretty rounded AC, with decent speed, reverse-joint legs, plasma rifle and lance.
>Double zimmies
I tried them a bit, but I don't get it. Seems about as strong as sweet sixteen, while being much heavier. And slightly stronger than the laser shotgun, while the latter can shoot much more often. I know that they were supposedly nerfed, so I guess that's why.
Just picked this up during the sale. Balteus wasn't insanely difficult but I heard he got nerfed, beating both him and sulla in a row is pretty hard though
Are there any fun builds you guys would recommend? Currently I'm running a quadleg with gatlings and grenade launchers. Shame they got rid of dual blade
Fires ending can’t be trusted to finish the job when Ibis failed to do it and Allmind even says in her route if you fail to take down the colony ship that she’ll need to wait some time before she can restart her plan which implies she knows the coral will just regenerate over time anyway.
Fires ending is just kicking the can down the road, again.
B-B-But muh daddy Walter and granny Carla are good and noble and the coral is evil because Ayre's cute female voice triggers me. I'm trans btw, not sure if that matters.
>The Xylem rams into the Vascular Plant, igniting the Coral and setting off another system-wide cataclysm that destroys all life on Rubicon 3. In the aftermath of the event now known as "The Fires of Raven", the Planetary Closure Administration and the corporations agree to seal off the Rubicon system for good, and halt all research into Coral.
Sounds pretty final to me.
Except for how we find out in the third route that Arquebus has been shipping coral off-world, meaning it's just as likely they still have quite a bit elsewhere.
Arquebus doesn't just keep Coral intact outside of Rubicon. They use it to produce and conduct energy, as is the purpose of all Coral extraction and the goal of every corp on Rubicon. A process that inevitably destroys it. If there was a chance that Coral taken by Arquebus could just leak out and spread, there'd be no reason for certain parties to fight so hard to release it out into the wild over the course of the game. It would just be one industrial accident away from happening anyway. But clearly it requires more specific circumstances, one of which is "not being used as fuel."
Yeah except you know they did that the first time too. Ibis was considered final until the survivors on rubicon start smoking coral and Raven came in waving a flag to the corpos that hey there is still coral here! Then they all came rushing back in.
>Yeah except you know they did that the first time too.
That one didn't end with the corps and the gubment agreeing to abandon Coral research and abandon the entire system. PCA sure as hell didn't looking at their shiny toys. >Ibis was considered final until the survivors on rubicon >survivors on rubicon >survivors
That's the fun part!
I'm doing moonlight + lance right now and liking it a lot. If you have decent mobility, then I think the damage from the melee weapons outpaces a lot of back weapons, especially since they tend to be lighter.
Read the description of the AC robot that ALLMIND lets you help fight so that it can analyze data to develop the AC mind beta. It clearly states that this is the first version that can operate on its own. And it is the AC figure that Kate Markson uses. The conclusion is that Kate is ALLMIND.
You'd have just been forced into going up against them eventually instead of Arquebus. You can't stick with a corp all the way to the end. Though it'd be interesting to see how that would work.
Just beat the game for the first time. I actually don't think the voice acting is that good. It's certainly not Souls/Elden/Bloodborne-tier English voice acting at least.
Especially Ayre and Carla, and a lot of the minor characters sound like anime pastiches rather than actual characters.
Because English was the focused languages there and besides Bloodborne only had English. You didn’t play Sekiro in English when the game tells you itself you should be playing in Japanese no? Unless it’s the first two gens of AC you should be playing in Japanese.
Did you know that all but one of the NG+ and NG++ missions actually has any brand new environments?
With that one exception being Regain Control of the Xylem?
Every other NG+ and NG++ mission is in a recycled area.
That's one thing you should think about when appraising AC6 and the content it offers.
>Coral is extremely valuable to the point where massive corporations are throwing billions in MTs and ACs just to get it >RLF just uses it to get high and grow worms
???
Couldn't they just sell it and, you know, use a cheaper, more sustainable food source instead?
>And who's gonna ship it in? Space-Amazon?
Well it's not like they don't have technology. They use MTs and ACs just the same. They have a goddamn Strider even, why wouldn't they be able to ship the coral?
I mean who's gonna ship food and cheaper substances into the system? They can't grow anything natively since the planet is ash and snow, and do you think anyone is gonna risk flying into a galaxy that can ignite like a matchbox on a grill, covered in gasoline?
It's the equivalent of indigenous tribes using gold for decoration and trade and not for advanced applications like electronics. The latter is worth a lot more which justifies corps coming in and practicing exploitation.
Rubicon is the Wild West. Assuming they did open the flood gates to legitimate trade there’s no system in place that would protect their profits and eventually their lives from bad deal after bad deal with the threat of violence to keep the spice flowing
I love how nu-Ganker acts like Armored Core is this beloved franchise that's been posted about on here for decades meanwhile half of the series was shitted on for being too much of the same or too different.
Even the ones Miyazaki worked on were shitted on, this is proven via archives.
Mech autists need to stay in their fricking board.
Always loved the series. Even when it didn't get critical acclaim, it was close to my heart. I apologize that you need game journos to tell you what to like.

FS spent years developing THIS instead of working on fricking Shadow of the Erdtree
Yeah and they should have been working on AC7 instead of that trash
can't wait for them to release Assassin's Creed 7
They already did, it's called Elden Ring.
Iguazu best boy.
Rusty second best.
Iguazu was a little b***h all the way through, and I can't fricking believe they made him the true final boss
That's kinda why I liked him, such a hater. Snail was funny too.
Snail's english voice actor did a great job.
His monologue later on was perfection.
Pretty sure Snail and Weiss (from Nier) is the same VA, and he's great

best game in 2023
unironically liked it better than ER and this is coming from a ds2 contrarian
fromsoft definitely need to make more action games
>from a ds2 contrarian
So someone with terrible fricking taste? AC6 is great, I don't love ER but DaS2 plays like shit compared to both DaS1 and 3.
There should have been a way to help Balam and Redguns enough so that they actually win.
You'd have just been forced into going up against them eventually instead of Arquebus. You can't stick with a corp all the way to the end. Though it'd be interesting to see how that would work.
Just beat the game for the first time. I actually don't think the voice acting is that good. It's certainly not Souls/Elden/Bloodborne-tier English voice acting at least.
Especially Ayre and Carla, and a lot of the minor characters sound like anime pastiches rather than actual characters.
>playing AC6 (or any Japanese game) with an English dub when it also has a Japanese dub
Because English was the focused languages there and besides Bloodborne only had English. You didn’t play Sekiro in English when the game tells you itself you should be playing in Japanese no? Unless it’s the first two gens of AC you should be playing in Japanese.
Do you think it'll go on sale again in spring? I don't know if I feel like buying it right now.
Did you know that all but one of the NG+ and NG++ missions actually has any brand new environments?
With that one exception being Regain Control of the Xylem?
Every other NG+ and NG++ mission is in a recycled area.
That's one thing you should think about when appraising AC6 and the content it offers.
WE
ARE
CORAL
WARRIORS
WE ARE CORAL WARRI-ACK!
>Coral is extremely valuable to the point where massive corporations are throwing billions in MTs and ACs just to get it
>RLF just uses it to get high and grow worms
???
Couldn't they just sell it and, you know, use a cheaper, more sustainable food source instead?
And who's gonna ship it in? Space-Amazon?
>And who's gonna ship it in? Space-Amazon?
Well it's not like they don't have technology. They use MTs and ACs just the same. They have a goddamn Strider even, why wouldn't they be able to ship the coral?
I mean who's gonna ship food and cheaper substances into the system? They can't grow anything natively since the planet is ash and snow, and do you think anyone is gonna risk flying into a galaxy that can ignite like a matchbox on a grill, covered in gasoline?
Because the space feds put a giant railgun outside the planet that shoots basically anything down
It's the equivalent of indigenous tribes using gold for decoration and trade and not for advanced applications like electronics. The latter is worth a lot more which justifies corps coming in and practicing exploitation.
Rubicon is the Wild West. Assuming they did open the flood gates to legitimate trade there’s no system in place that would protect their profits and eventually their lives from bad deal after bad deal with the threat of violence to keep the spice flowing
It was so good that I don't give two shits about the ER dlc and I'm starting to think Miyazaki lead projects are their worst games.
Halfway through. Honestly I thought the S ranks would be more difficult to get, but for most missions it's first try.
its much easier to S rank missions now since they nerfed most bosses and buffed almost every weapon that isn't the Zimmerman
This image is hilarious because you know he was just coping that his crutch got slightly changed despite the fact it's still usable even now
Reminder that Armored Core VI won 100% of the categories it was nominated in
I love how nu-Ganker acts like Armored Core is this beloved franchise that's been posted about on here for decades meanwhile half of the series was shitted on for being too much of the same or too different.
Even the ones Miyazaki worked on were shitted on, this is proven via archives.
Mech autists need to stay in their fricking board.
Always loved the series. Even when it didn't get critical acclaim, it was close to my heart. I apologize that you need game journos to tell you what to like.
So what the frick was the original Raven's problem?
Things were more peaceful and he was a mercenary
I'm not a telepath so how am I supposed to know
