Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeit looks like I'm first.

>>23291310
How's the LUDLOW buff treating you?

>>23291314
I like it. I only made this build just to shit on the Igauna.

What alt parts do you think deserve full frames of their own?

>>23291402
The Kasur needs it's own core and arm parts.

>>23291402
i can't think of a lot...
maybe just a VP-46D equivalent light biped frame? it felt weird that arquebus just threw in some lightweight arms as a clown bomb when it doesn't really fit the look that schneider parts have.
also, as much as i like those TIAN-LAO legs, the head feels more like a BAWS one and the core looks too much like the TIAN QIANG.

I genuinely don't know what they're thinking with these patches, man.

Do you guys play ac6 with the english or japanese voices

>>23292076
English

>>23292076
Japanese.
I find it very hard to listen to English dubs.
This is an issue I don't have an opportunity to talk about often, but something about the way English dubs are handled, it always sounds like the voice actors are constipated.
It's very rare for me to find an English dub that's easy to listen to.

>>23292128
Something I and others noticed with 6 in particular is that the English VAs might have had either subpar direction or the cutscenes needed to be modified to fit the English script.
Almost every character, especially in cutscenes or briefings, will have these awkward pauses. I remember Rusty's VA distinctly having this problem in everything but when you're with him in a mission. Ayre does it sometimes too.

>>23291930
Neither does FROM, don't worry

>>23292128
what about dragon ball z

>>23291402
>check the artist on twatter
>all gachabrown stuff and armored core stuff is impossible to find
>that tasteful use of the in game arms model and drawning a custom quad around it
>just having more balam/dafeng parts
More...I want...More...

are non-AC mecha games by fromsoftware allowed here too? what are the best ones? Are they all good?

>>23292076
I flip a coin every time I boot the game deciding to listen to EN or JP because both dubs are amazing.
>>23291402
Idk about other parts but my ideal AC game each company would sell 3 AC loadouts; one for lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight and the bornemissza would have been so cool to play as if weapon arms were in the game.

>>23292359
>Murakumo
Isn't that a corporation form AC1?

>>23292396
yes, they're the ones doing the H+ experiments among other things

If I made a poll on how many people actually play PvP in AC games would I get any response from here?

>>23292574
probs not a lot, it's a slow thread on a slow board, nothing exploitable for statistics
and the only pvp i did recently was on AC2AA

>>23292574
Not on here. However, I don't play PVP

>>23292574
i wonder how many /acg/ posters actually moved over to the split site
there's not really a reason to move, either way mods basically don't exist

>>23292235
It's not my thing so I couldn't say.
This is less of a problem with older anime.

>>23292359
>what are the best ones?
Frame Gride as its melee is probably the most complex Froms ever done.

>>23292949
You're full of shit.

>>23292105
As it should. The soundtrack of VI would've been a lot better with a solid dose the garage buttrock guitar wankery added.

>>23293036
didn't the bonus soundtrack actually had more traditional AC songs ? it's like they got cold at the last moment

Does anyone else think about how WRECKER has two visible cockpit doors?

>>23293459
You can see the doors on ACs? I thought to get in the core, the head slid back.

>>23293548
it differs between core parts. i hadn't heard of a system where the head slides back, but you might be mistaking it for the CR-C06U5 where the entire back half of the core shifts back to reveal a cockpit hatch.

>>23293567
>you might be mistaking it for the CR-C06U5 where the entire back half of the core shifts back to reveal a cockpit hatch.
You're right. I wonder if it's different for each core. I shouldn't be surprised that the wrecker just has a normal door that opens since it's a construction AC. I back some of these cores even open from the front or the back.

So what does /acg/ think of Formula Front?
I'm playing through the series and it caught my eye

>>23293607
it's good, but short

>>23292076
both. Fromsoft is the only devs that I trust hearing their eng dub. I still prefer JP dub but EN is also good in this game.

AALIYAH sexo

>driver helmet
haha why he head big

AC6 DLC where you blow raspberries on Allmind's tummy

>>23293567
>i hadn't heard of a system where the head slides back
Not quite that but close enough.

>6
>2
>1
Did they know?

>>23294420
>6 + 2 + 1 = 9

>>23294418
That doesn't look like the best place to put the pilot.

>>23294450
>5+3+1=9
>4+3+2=9
>etc.
Your point being? Why exactly 6, 2 and 1, in that specific order? Why not literally any other configuration of numbers? Because VI came out 21 years after 3 or something? What's the significance here?

>>23294563
ah, that might be the next protagonist.

Snail is 4chan
Rusty is Reddit

Boat.

>>23294623
i have no emotional attachment to this

>>23294592
>Snail, a valuable member of society
>4chan

>>23294725
Does that mean he'd be 9gag?

>>23294729
he'd be Quora

>>23294729
>spoiler
is that site still a thing?

>>23294623
One of my first AC6 builds I ended up naming DREAD NOT, because I basicallt made dazzle camo for it, and I just realized yesterday that the head on this literally looks like a ship bridge.

>>23294736
nta but no, i mean it still exist but i don't think it get much traffic, most websites didn't survive the centralization of internet

>>23294623
Why does the shitty arquebus tank even exist

>>23295297
mandatory hover representation

>>23294725
>Snail
>a valuable member of society

>>23295315
He did not specify what society.

Does anyone know exactly how AC6's name censor filter works? Assuming it uses the same terrible word list that From's been using since DS2, but is it still case sensitive, i.e. can you still bypass it by using ALL CAPS names?
Really wish they'd just tell you when you're tripping the censor instead of making you guess. Ideally they'd either fix the ridiculous partial-word matches or drop it entirely, but I'm not holding out hope for that.

Formula Front

Formula Front is so fun I'm surprised it's not a mini-game feature in every following Armored Core.
Also the sport tournament theme is so good and fresh.
How did that shit never catch on.

>>23295999
it's basically looking under the hood at from's dev tools for making enemy ACs. they probably got more uncomfortable with that the more advanced their tools got

>>23294483
>>23294418
man gen 5 ACs are tiny. Almost back to gen 1 levels of smol

>>23296283
I kind of like them. It would interesting if they were implemented similar to normal in AC4 in the next game.

>>23296286
I’d probably have them fill a unique role as these teeny little nightmares that utterly trounce you in raw manoeuvrability being used by some uppity rebellion you’ve been sent to quash. Their weapons don’t hit too hard, certainly more than a grunt MT, and they’re relatively easy to take out, but what makes them scary is the fact that they’re stupidly mobile compared to you on their home turf, and they can come flying out of absolutely nowhere, jumping down from rooftops, between alleys, up from tunnels, ect.

>>23296738
I think corpos should use them as well. Probably like using a F-4 Phantom. They're really cheap compared to a current gen AC, but can somewhat put up a fight. Probably a little bit more dangerous than a standard LC

>>23296738
6th-gen AC's have a raw speed advantage so you could use boom and zoom tactics and try baiting them into a bad maneuver. Shit man that's a neat idea.

>>23294592
Snail is Linkedin
Rusty is 4chan on a slow board
Iguazu is 4chan on a fast board
Ayre is reddit

>>23291271 (OP)
Scholars of the /m/,
Which AC game is the greatest of them all?

(Make sure to elborate upon your answer of choice)

>>23297041
Depends highly on a multitude of highly esoteric variables such as the current % of fluorite content in the water, the alignment of celestial bodies or whether or not there are any ongoing data storms in the noosphere but usually the safest, most correct answer would be whichever is Anon's favorite.

>Decide to boot up Armored Core 2 AA just for fun.
The BASIC starting gun can shoot 300m accurately. Even hitting things at 500m.
Projectile speed is actually fast.

Damn no wonder AC6 felt like a close range game.

>>23297041
All of them are flawed in their own different ways, there's no best AC

>>23297041
Black Flag

Mommy.

>>23297232
you dont like your bullets doing fuck all past 50m? whats wrong with you?

>>23297421
Where's her smokes

one of the biggest problems of AC6 is vert missiles not having splash damages and proximity fuse

>>23297905
There's only one problem with ACVI.

>>23298469
you're right, it's the main one
still i can fairly nitpick a few ones like a type of missiles being useless against anything that move and isn't huge like juggernaut, especially when the fix is rather trivial

>>23298469
You mean shoot while quick boosting?

>>23298486
he mean the way movement isn't bound to target in softlock unless you shoot, meaning you can't properly strafe in softlock

>>23298496
Oh, yeah I have to hard lock so that i can strafe. I used to only use soft lock in my first playthrough, which made things much harder.

>>23297452
>>23297232

You can't just shoot your guns and dodge bro!
You have to fill up the STAGGER BAR!

>>23298550
>You have to fill up the STAGGER BAR!
I honestly don't know how to feel about.
On one hand I my favorite build is to exactly mimic Steel Haze (Better generator and Talbot FCS) and beat the campaign with one build.
On the other hands it's obvious that the game is build around stagger and melee. I've beat the game with energy weapons and mid range guns with missiles, but nothing beats builds similar to Steel Haze.

>>23298496
Why are people so hung up on being unable to strafe all the time? What am I missing here?

>>23299115
when you want to fire at something while strafing in softlock you have to wait for your AC to transition from decoupled to camera movement to coupled to camera movement
basically if you try to play AC6 like an AC game all your attacks are inherently delayed

>>23297041
Accounting for all factors - music, gameplay, difficulty, amount of content, AC aesthetic and parts count, Silent Line is the winner. Plus CHD-MISTEYE is one of the best looking head parts of any AC game, ever.
