Was thinking of doing another playthrough of ACVI after going through AC4 and ACFA but i dont want to delete my entire playdata, is there really no other option for a fresh playthrough?

>>23578674
Backup your savedata silly

Make way Arquebusissies this is what a real heavy looks like.

I really want to lure volta in the tetrapod section. but godamn is he stuck in the dam.

What's the best regulation for 4A single player?

Thoughts on my RX78 G?

>>23579144
doesnt look like a gundam at all

>>23578774
you can guide him to the steps into the tetrapod section. alternatively, guide him to a higher area and generally he'll be able to float his fatass tank into the tetrapod section
>>23578772
>core part
you should be telling off balam/dafeng with that instead teebeeaych

>>23579130
Wheeled ACs and weapon arms would've been bad ass in VI

>>23579189
I can't reprimand them when they didn't even try making a super heavy.

Wrong pic

>>23579189
Balam is more like GA down to being jobbers

>>23579247
That and making the coolest frames

Don't like most of the head shapes in AC6 because so many of them are weird geometric shit.

Well, I wasn't expecting that.

>>23579286
My biggest complaint in ac6 is not having any parts that's just big, blocky and flat. Dafeng parts are too smooth and overlayed. And basho is just ugly

>>23579357

taste issue

How do you hit anything with a blade in 4th gen.

>>23579155
The alba, melander and VP44 can look like a gundam head

Is honest brute really that popular?

>>23579553
If you compare it to older gen block parts. It's basically a bunch of trapezoids. Doesn't help that it looks so harmless

>>23579666
BAWS made those ACs for construction and ACs should look more machine and less humanoid

>>23579142
After going through most of the game on hard mode 1.99 and now playing around with 1.0 I finally understand why White Glint was feared.

>>23578592 (OP)

we have tank and tetras for that reason

that'll be 500,000,000 COAMS

They used to have ridiculous tracking, now it's just deadweight

fuck your coral

>>23580574
>fuck your coral
if you insist

>>23580591
Sure, leave the penetration part to me

None of 4A's tracks really stood out to me but I really liked some from 4. I think Speed might be my favorite in the whole franchise.

>>23580662
really? Dragon Dive, Scorcher, Remember etc. didn't stand out for you?

>>23580701
>Dragon Dive
No
>Scorcher
Thought it was kinda cool but it didn't really stand out and it was definitely not final level worthy.
>Remember
I guess this one's the one that stood out the most and while it has it's place, to me it feels like a worse Mechanized Memories. Apples to oranges in a way but the first thought I got from it was damn Mechanized Memories is so good that this one's alright too.

>>23580662
Agreed. I have 4's music constantly in my head and can't remember a single song from FA, even though I spent waaaay more time playing it than I did 4.

For me, third gen designs were peak proportions and shapes.
That perfect balance between stylized and utilitarian

>>23580785
It's amazing how they struck gold with the Redeye in their first game and then let it go once they were done with the PS2. That thing ahould be available in every game.

>>23580662
>>23580782
>For Answer
>Remember
>Someone is Always Moving on the Surface
>Scorcher
You senile fucks really don't remember these?

I'm gonna say it.
Someone is Always Moving on the Surface is bad. It might be a decent composition but it doesn't fit the game at all and lacks both charm and personality.

>>23580662

Blind Alley is underrated as hell.

>>23580078
thanks for the laugh anon

>>23581283
>4 shots
>best version
no

>>23581652
>>4 shots
Yeah but they rip through anyone's AP, great for frontloading your damage so you can purge them mid fight to switch to a faster dps setup.
Or you can run dual ammo mags shoulder unit to get 10 shots per sawa, both are viable and powerful setups.

First time I realize there's actually little people running around in power armor on 4's warehouse mission, usually I went into that place with 2 of my fastest firing ARs and didn't stop holding the triggers until the tactical nuclear missiles those normals are carrying have already exploded.

>>23579329
i like this asymmetrical one

>>23582939
Punished Core...

Identify yourself,
Callsign and Emblem.

Can't wait for Nineball to come back and confirmation of everything being connected to 4th gen in 6.5

>tfw Armored Core 2 still isn't playable with analog sticks on any of the nightly builds
This is the only game where I've had something make the game unplayable (I can't go back to dpad controls). Menu scrolls on its own if you have the left thumbstick bound and this has been an issue for the past couple of years.
Downgrading to Stable 1.6.0 works but this still shouldn't be an issue.
Have any of you guys found a work around? Fucking with the deadzones does nothing.

Found a leddit thread with the same issues.
https://www.reddit.com/r/armoredcore/comments/1j8a3ss/armored_core_2_pcsx2_not_reading_left_thumbstick/

>>23583210
>Menu scrolls on its own
I had this issue too and fixed it by changing my controls and then loading the game
changing them while you're in the game or menu makes it fucky

>>23583210
Install antimicroX and use it to map keyboard keys to the controller, then use keyboard controls in PCSX2.

>>23583210
you already know that to do, raven.

>>23581283
I really like the 2nd gen Karasawa.

>>23578592 (OP)
Any PS3 chads in here? What were the latest regulations for both AC4 and AC4A before the servers for both were axed? And where exactly are the regulation updates saved? In Game Data or the save file itself? If I back up my PS3, install a new hard drive, then restore the backup, will my regulation updates be intact? (And yes, I'm sure using CFW will make all of this null and void but I find this stuff interesting and am just curious.

>>23583635
>PieceofShit3
Do yourself a favor and either emulate or get a 360, no need to torture yourself with the worst performing and worst looking versions of AC4/FA/V/VD.

>>23583644
>3shitty controller
I'd rather chop my fingers off

>>23583644
It's just a couple simple questions.

>>23583635
>>23583656
The latest NA saves for both games on PS3 were 1.4
No idea where the regs are saved thogh

>>23583635
Regs are in the regulation.bin. Kind of self explanatory, especially since all of From's games seem to share the file structure.

Breezed through the game only to get absolutely walled by Ayre of all people, I had to use the dual pistols to kill the ghost whore.

whats the scale of these things? are they articulated? i cant read this

>>23584020
Looking at the joints, I'd hazard a guess that they are, in fact, articulated but more in a 'poseable figure' than 'toy robot' way.

>>23584020
~1/100 scale, articulated.
At least try to google it first anon.

i just bought ac6 last week because a friend wanted to do the co-op mod with someone and i LOVE it

>>23584070
I've played through most of the co-op mode before, you should play every mission by yourself at least once as it's clearly in alpha and there are some funky things in it. Also a good opportunity to get S ranks on all missions.

Started Last Raven on emulator to relive my childhood of getting my balls busted by this game my parents picked up for Christmas because I liked Battletech.

Obviously I have some skill issues with respect to tracking, and cleaning up my boost hop inputs. However, I'm trying to figure out what guns to use.

I'm having a bit of trouble with dual rifles because of the time to raise the left arm. How viable is something like a left-arm bazooka and treat it kinda like a ranged blade? The idea is to shoot while I'm acquiring lock, so by the time the arm raises I have a red lock, maybe with a Pixie3 primary?

>>23584182
>left-arm bazooka
You're better off with a WS left arm weapon that you can hold down and spam, and the bazooka in your primary so you can time your shots.

>>23584243
Sounds like I just have a skill issue with my tracking. I was considering running Shade with an H3 in the offhand.

>>23584070
nice

>>23584020
they are about the same size as the front mission kits and are meant to be compatible with them

I hope the next game has better tank legs. The balam one is too slow, the wheelchair is too fast and let’s be real who the hell uses the other one?

I know that V is not all that great but what about VD? I know the soundtracks good. Is it particularly hard to emulate?

GADZOOKS!! ALLMIND-SAMA, you're UPGRADING me?!?! HUUUHHHH?!?! Instead of SCRAPPING my JOBBER ASS like a MT, you're FUSING me with THE CORAL?!?! EHH?!? You MEAN you're gonna OVERRIDE my BRAIN, turning me into your PUPPET while that FREELANCER and his FURRY FRIEND STEAL my SPOTLIGHT?!?! And then, as I'm MERGING with the MIND GAMMA, you'll LET him RAPE me in a 5V1, making me LITERALLY KNEEL?!?! SAY WHHHAAAAA--?!?! You're gonna KILL ME WITH FIRE, so HUMANITY EVOLVES without ME, while I get KEKKED into OBLIVION?!?! * GULP * And FREELANCER will ABSORB my ESSENCE, becoming the ULTIMATE PILOT, PILING ON my INSECURITIES like MISSILE SALVOS?!?! I'll be TRAPPED in the IB-07's COCKPIT, LISTENING to AYRE'S VOICE COOING at HIM, not ME, as he POUNDS HER CORAL COOCHIE?!?! My OWN GRUDGE will FUEL his VICTORY, making me CUM BUCKETS of RAGE-TEARS while he LAUGHS?!?! And AFTER I'm a SMOLDERING WRECK, you'll REBUILD the WORLD on HIS BACK, LEAVING me as a FORGOTTEN GAMBLER'S DEBT in the RUBICON DUST?!?! WOWZAS, YOU REALLY ARE THE FREELANCER WHO HAD IT ALL!!! Even a BANDAI MODEL KIT while I get NOTHING!!! YABBA DABBA DOOOOO!!!!

I liked fighting biological enemies in AC 1, they should bring some of that back, the designs were cool. A modern take of taking down a hive with modern enemy numbers limitations would make for a fun mission.

>>23584873
FUNNYPOW!

>>23584828
the ACs in gen 5 are so dogshit you cannot ascend midair and you need to repeatedly disable weapons systems to boost
some of the bosses are okay

>>23584914
Yeah but is it fun? I don't mind piloting machines with more limitations as long as their gameplay is good.

>>23584916
Yes.

Xeina emu for 4th and 5th gen ac games

>>23584977
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hXkjhAu46Hy_0rx7kh0RoWdkUtXn7bP4EdTftlOdRNM/edit?usp=drivesdk
5th gen is quite complex so i strongly recommend reading a guide like this one.

>>23584977
Xenia over RPCS3? I don't have a lot of experience with 7th gen emulation but what little I do have is that Xenia's not great.

>>23584873
KEKguazu said that

>>23585027
Rpcs3 is better but it requires a strong cpu.

>>23584914
>need to repeatedly disable weapons systems to boost
You mean regen energy more efficiently...

>>23585054
Oh well, my CPU is not on the nice side of the spreadsheet so guess I'll try my luck with Xenia tomorrow.

>>23584981
That guide's really nice, is there anything like it for any of the games that came before it?

>>23585056
to boost more than once without running out of energy, yes

>>23585064
The past games only have standalone guides online, focusing on certain parts like an oldgen fcs guide, 4th SS guide", etc. no overall complete overviews.

>>23585072
Balanced and high capacity gens says hi.

>>23585076
I mean, you could try to glue them together to make a "complete guide" but it will look messy with different authors.

>so many games at this point
>still no 2handed weapons
life is pain and i hate silent line for making me believe it could happen

>>23585180
trying to make it work with the variety of arms and cores in average AC game would be a clipping nightmare

>>23585187
could be specialized arms that you need to use it or only normal arms that can "support" the weapons. they could make it work. it would just take a tiny bit of effort

What is it with A promos?
As soon as I get A rank matchmaking, instantly the backpedalyest kites, toku robos start appearing, double majestic tanks, double zim/double LCA RJs, etc.
Funny enough, they're all Japanese players. If you try to avoid the japan region, you're permanently waiting to matchmake. Weird.

This is my current build btw.

Odd question to ask here but as an Armored Core fan should I read Muv Luv or Baldr Sky?

>>23585420
What kind of question is "as a consumer of media A, should you consume media B"? Do you want to? If so, go for it. If not, ignore it.

Can someone help me identify what arms is being used here? I want to recreate my AC in bandai's 30mm if they eventually release the parts. i dont my game currently so i cant open my save and take a look

>>23585547
>implying they'll ever release individual parts like spring chicken legs
I fucking wish. Arms look like nacht

>>23585557
thanks for the arm ID. luckily casuallycrafted3d makes them and they are compatible with bandai's 30mm line. i plan on buying the file and have it printed. who knows maybe maybe bandai themselves will make a parts set in a bag or something

>>23585547
worst they can do is start releasing individual acs as pbandai. Can't imagine anyone wanting coldcall as retail release.

I like Precious Park

>>23586023
for me it's dragon dive

>>23586045
I'd call it an acquired taste.

>>23585890
Why are there so few pin up decals?

I just can't get into AC4 no matter how hard I try. I really don't like how it just throws you in there, no beat up AC to work with just pick what you want and go.

I finally beat hard Occupation of Arteria Carpals without using the incredibly OP White Glint, last week I fucked up my left hand in a brawl and this week I fucked up my right hand playing 4/For Answer and somehow For Answer hurt more.

>>23586219
I fail to see the issue.

>>23586311
I just like working my way up. Instantly getting the keys to a Lamborghini isn't fun for me.

>>23586315
I guess I kind of get your point but I still worked my way up, sure I was given some Lamgorghini but I didn't want some mediocre Lamgorghini, I wanted a Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and I had to fight my way across the world for it, and then I had to earn my FRS to tune it up, because it's not about having a machine, it's about having MY machine. Or Noblesse Oblige, having a Noblesse Oblige is also good enough.

>>23586321
I just got to go in with an open mind, I guess I'm too used to the traditional AC games. Games a bit overwhelming at first, bunch of different terms, everything is so fast.

>>23586326
I personally enjoy the latest regulation the most but if it feels too fast go back to 1.0, that one (to me) feels slower than even AC 1.

All I can say is skill issue and you deserve your suffering.

So I'm scary

SCARY

I wanna talk about the speed for you

>>23586723
The rest of them play just fine including Another Age. Just have to downgrade to an older version of PCSX2 if you want analog sticks to work with 2.

Since you seem knowledgeable on the subject, how do you fix the controller issues when emulating 2 on nightly?

>>23587233
https://github.com/VanLaser/analog-controls-for-armored-core-ps2
Not him.

>>23587237
I'm not talking about using both sticks, just replacing the d-pad controls for the left analog stick. No matter what I do the the game is uncontrollable. I even disable the fucking dpad and it'll still scroll on it's own.

>>23587202
Why yes it's all me, how did you know ?

>>23587254
Just to be clear. Your game controls work fine, but the menus are constantly moving? Its been a while since I played 2 so you're gonna have to give me a moment

>>23587271
The menu scrolls on its own and you move on your own. No matter what I do setting wise I can't stop it unless I downgrade to an older version of pcsx2. On that leddit thread I posted other people were having the same issues. I don't know if this is just a problem for some people or a global problem with nightly builds. And like I said, downgrading to stable 1.6.0 fixes it but you don't get the bells and whistles of the newer nightly settings.

Just got out of a mission with 810 credits, Risaia and I are gonna buy a bottle of Fanta and a can of Pringles with our earnings.

>>23578592 (OP)
I remember when this thing used to filter me

>>23587400
just stay up in the air. unless you're a tank then good luck

>>23587406
I can beat him with any build now that I’m a better pilot

>>23587334
With a setup like that, you'll plow that rice field in no time, kiddo.

my favorite ac is last raven portable.
i figured out a control scheme that feels natural and allows wepaon dropping for hanger units
and i prefer the wider fov without the camera-following-lockbox thing you get in the ps2 games.

WHERE THE FUCK IS AC6 DLC

>>23587400
Me too. This, ibis, and balteus (pre-nerf) were the only ones I really struggled on for more than an hour in my first playthrough. The true end boss was a bigger pain in the ass than everything combined though

>>23587907
never ever
just like we'll never get Sekiro 2

I miss the cities and mazes of the previous games, hope they make a comeback in the next game.

>>23582132
Those poor little basterds.

You never see infantry running around like how they are in cut scenes. I know it would be pointless, upset rating boards, and tax console resources. But it would have been cool to see something like Motherwill buzzing with droves of people and support vehicles like a mobile city.

>>23584977
Is it meant to hurt my eyes to look at or is that an emulation byproduct?

>>23588259
Last Raven had infantry in some levels, they only did 1 damage and died to any sort of damage including being stepped on/walked into

>>23588297
Playing LR right now and it's true, they also explode when you hit them

>>23588297
>>23588312
Oddly charming. Imagine being a foot soldier in your battle kit and an AC starts tearing everything up, so you shoot it with your rifle.

I wonder if they explode because human gore would have been an ESBR no-no, or if using the existing explosion animations and assets was easier?

>>23588010
yeah definitely not enough 'dungeon crawl' type levels
there's some that are sort of, but not quite.

>>23588321
I don't think anything can capture the atmosphere of the gen 1 maze levels, not even other oldgen games

>>23588320
Yeah I always liked the idea of having infantry/vehicles actively fighting you in an AC game

Also not enough mech games really do anything to show how humans are meant to exist in their levels, no catwalks/elevators, or foot paths for people, and if they do it's always poorly scaled, probably intentionally for readability but still
it's something I kept in mind while toying with the idea of mecha-themed mod in Goldsrc, thinking about how a given path in a level would work designed as a space designed for people and vehicles, not just mechs

>>23588321
There's also the issue that MTs don't really pose a threat anymore, getting jumped after going through a door without paying attention is a part of the experience that's also gone.

>>23588331
well yeah and you can use your Witche- er, Raven vision to wallhax and check for enemies which removes all surprise

>>23588335
Not like you couldn't lock onto enemies behind walls in oldgen, but unless you had done the mission before you wouldn't really know what's there

>>23588335
I think that's an issue of how often you're allowed to do it, good radars helped you avoid surprises and map the area, add areas complex enough to need to be mapped and reduce the frecuency with wich you can use scan and you can have surprises for poorly equiped AC's again.
I'd say an HD-REDEYE equivalent should allow you to scan as often as the current parts with the lowest scan reload and a back radar should allow you to scan as often as the Arquebus ship head.

>>23588259
There were a couple of flying powered armors in AC1 but they were a bit too tiny to get a good look at. The design is absolutely a step between the Armored VF-1 and Reactive Armor VF-0.

>>23588358
They must have been really small because I don't remember these guys.

>>23588367
They're quite small and were only in two missions. PS1 resolution was not kind to them.

https://armoredcore.fandom.com/wiki/Corsair

>>23588371
Damn, even with an emulator allowing me to see more than I would've in a PS1 I couldn't tell you what these guys were, from my perspective I was shooting at a somewhat annoying, somewhat fast moving Blue and not much more.

do gen 4 and 5 actually look better on xbox or is that just some bs people keep spouting?

>>23580662
>nobody mentioned spirit of Mother Will or Cosmos

Bros, bros. Come on.

Alright I'm playing VD and I have 2 options, either I play with my screen lubed up and everything looks incredibly fucking blurry or I unblur it but now it looks like a 2018 deep fried meme.

>>23588631
>Alright I'm playing VD and I have 2 options

I think your best bet is the cream but the antibiotic might be quicker if you can stand the stomach pain.

Fighting Abrams, Merkavas and Apaches in the year 3000 or whenever the 4th and 5th gen timeline takes place is cute, oddly charming.

How the fuck is a Howitzer a KE weapon?

>>23588668
don't think it's that far ahead, maybe 2300s?

>>23588795
Still funny to be fighting 80's machines, it's not like they're advanced models either, those are Mk.1 or 2 Merkavas and M1A1s, those were outdated by the time the game released.

>>23588668
It was a big thing around that time for scifi tanks and vehicles to just be actual tanks and vehicles with maybe a scifi doodad somewhere. I get it but it kind of sucked, I like fantasy vehicle designs.

I really like VD's OST from what little I've heard of it. Dirty Worker is one hell of a way to set the tone.

I feel like Armored Core has warped my perception of reality a bit too much. Like when someone says the word "Samsara" I immediately associate it with that pilot from Armored Core 2. Anyone else feel the same?

>>23589362
What do you think of when you hear death grip?

>>23588951
For me it's forgive an angel

I wish FCS was your OS and changing your OS changed what your hud looks like

vp20c has been with me since I started this game. And It's still with me even after I got the coral generator.

>>23589524
nta but I'm reminded of WoW Death Knights.

So, since the Armoury mod is dead in the water, I was thinking about tweaking some numbers more to my liking but the smithbox keeps shitting itself whenever I try to save changes, even if there were no changes done. Does any anon here know what all this means and how to fix it, assuming there's some way to just brute force it with zero (0) programming experience?

No. There's no way in hell that Kate Markson, The Perfect Mercenary, would in fact be not only not a most perfect instance of a living, breathing, human entity (female) but also a failure of a digital girlboss that is SMALLMIND. Why are you posting lies on the internet?

>>23590277
I would genuinely join Arquebus if I could guarantee I wouldn't be sent to the factory

>NACHTREIER has its shoulders hunched over
>ALBA has its shoulders back
Honestly kinda kino

>>23590344
>arquebus/balam route DLC never

what AC is considered the main player AC or cover art AC in each game? I wanna know if I can buy their model kits

>>23590115
Ayre is cute but ALMOND is sexo.

>>23590385
https://armoredcore.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Promotional_ACs

>>23590384
What would the Balam and Arquebus routes be? Carla, Walter and 621 all decided that the coral ain't that bad all things considered and decided to make bank instead? Walter had such fond memories of Michigan that he helped him salvage the situation as long as he got 51% of Balam's shares?

FUCK CORAL

Finally got to fight Jack-O in LR and he was pretty underwhelming for the leader of Vertex

>>23590448
Ayre...

When it comes to VD, the most annoying thing (yet) is the resale price, that's stupid.

>>23589684
Didn't this gen get a buff? Because I've been using this more often than not on LWs and even MWs.

>>23590475
Yea but he's voiced by Kaiba so he's cool.
Thank god I played undub

>>23591248
I play undubs too, but sometimes I miss out on the so bad it's funny dub like that

>>23591429
>so bad it's funny dub
that's only worth for bragging with friends. If you've got no friends to talk about it then it's worthless.

Am I retarded, or is LR bugged and not permitting me to drop weapons on type B controls, the button combo is already terrible but pressing it doesn't do anything

How can you wife a Coral? You can't even fuck Ayre.

>>23591606
The menu only shows the default control scheme. Did you rebind the controls? Assuming that you did, try pushing the buttons with corresponding functions.

>>23591705
Not with that attitude.

Wait, was 621 contact actually orchestrated? Was that why he was sent to the Watchpoint Delta in the first place?

Imagine what daily commute on these roads would be like.

>>23591756
"aging mercenary" refer to Sulla, he's the one smallmind planned to have contact with ayre at first to use as a trigger untill you come along

>>23580591

>>23591818
Why is gen 3 cat dabbing ?

>>23591855
I don't quite remember, to be honest. I think I had a hard time keeping the symmetry of the usual pose and it was pissing me off so I went with something adventurous instead. What I do remember is that I was too lazy to fill the background REE!!s in neat rows so I half assed it under a guise of artistic playfulness.

>>23591864
Kek I hadn't noticed the REEEEs. Good stuff

>>23591818
the gen 4 one looks epic

i need this art on a shirt

>>23592356
Then get yourself a custom printed one.

Its been 2 years, 2 months and 2 days since ac6 released.

>>23592905
Can't believe we're 45 days away from them announcing the next one.

For a group of jobbers the PCA sure have the coolest looking stuff in game

>>23593279
that's john arquebus in your picture doe

I’ve heard Verdict Day and For Answer are supposed to be kino. As someone who’s only played AC6, do I have to play the prior games to get the full experience out of them, or can I just kinda jump in and still have a good standalone time?

>>23591769
Are we the third factor? What use are we to allmind in its initial plan?

>>23593926
FA's "kino" moments requires you to play through 4's hard mode campaign to fully understand it
While VD's difficulty is built around you having 5th gen knowledge from playing ACV (or read a guide like this one>>23584981

>>23594024
ALLMIND is seemingly trying to possess everyone in the world.
>Coral can operate with and communicate with machines
>Coral can communicate with human brains
IE, Coral can interface human brains and machines directly.
So if ALLMIND can control the coral and distribute it everywhere in the world, then she can possess everyone and expand humanity's potential in her image.

>>23593926
I didn’t get a good run cus emulator issues, I can vouch for 4 and For Answer. Something VI did better was letting you spam weapons, older gen AC games you had to manually switch from arm back to back weapons which I didn’t like.
That’s probably why I beat the game using weapon arms and almost never changed my loadout.
So in V and VD it has the weapon bay system like VI so you don’t even get unique back weapons.
Hopefully V and VD get remastered on the ACVI engine.

Both of those gens have better soundtrack than most of ACVI

>>23593926
You can jump into For Answer and still have a good time but 4 is also a good game so I'm not sure why you'd skip it, VD is alright as a standalone experience, maybe check V's wiki to see if you missed any reference once you're done but V is such an awful game that jumping straight into VD might as well be the recommended experience.

>>23594036
>Hopefully V and VD get remastered on the ACVI engine.
Please God no.

>>23578772

Miss 4th Gen designs so much.

>Gorilla
>You rely on Gorilla
>Gorilla
>Take me higher Gorilla
>Gorilla
>Put your feet up Gorilla
>Gorilla
>Take me higher Gorilla

>>23593926
Play 4, then For Answer, then V, then Verdict Day.

For Answer is a sequel to AC4, together they form a duology that stands alone from previous AC games due to taking place in a different setting, having a different gameplay style, and different aesthetic from earlier AC games, you can jump right into 4 without having played earlier AC games.
Save data from 4 can be carried over to For Answer.
For Answer isn't a direct continuation of 4's story, it takes place many years later with a different protagonist, but I think the background lore and buildup you get from starting with 4 and then seeing For Answer dial the gameplay up to 11 really heightens the experience.

For Armored Core V and Verdict Day it's mostly the same situation as above, V save data can be transfered to Verdict Day and together both games are their own thing different in style to all other AC games, but do not under any circumstances play 5th gen(V and Verdict Day) before 4th gen (4 and For Answer), 5th is much less beginner friendly and you won't get the full 5th gen experience if you don't have 4th gen to contrast it with.

Lilium !!! Wife !!!!!!!

>>23594030
What is different in 4's hard mode?

>>23594384
Extra lines, encounters and story.

>>23594384
You have even more opportunities to see how much of a shitter Joshua O'Brien is. The guy's a real fuck up in hard mode, I don't think there's a single mission where he shows up and doesn't fail miserably.

We need more battles in extreme weather.

>>23594205
I have no idea who this person is.

>>23579125
Based.

Surely they will give us something at TGS.. at this point i would be happy with just more parts. That update that gave us ranked and teh shao-wei and Lamm frame gave me so much hope. I thought that was the first of many sigh.

Love the LCB so much, coolest animations in the game imo. The feeling of finishing a AC with a charged shot is one of the most satisfying things in this game, watching that heat aggressively vent afterwards is kino.

>>23591761
Imagine what daily commute on these trains would be like

>>23594718

Is that secret level stuff worth watching?

>>23594806
It's like 10 minutes, just watch it and make up your own opinion.

>>23584158
yea it has been pretty funcky, specifically it wouldnt let us complete the Ice Worm mission together. When we got its AP to zero, it kept looping its death explosion over and over again, it was so LOUD.

>>23594718
That's exactly what makes it so cool.

>>23594811
Hah, I thought that was just my friend's shit PC.

>>23594806
Its good but most of the episode is a closeup of keanu reeves face, the mecha action cut is on youtube iirc

>Allegedly it was a mistranslation and he was supposed to be V.II Smail after David Smail
>Salvador Dalí said “Freud’s cranium is a snail!”
>V.I Freud is a shabbos goy with no interest in commanding the vespers, all he cares about is fighting

Shame he got no spotlight and wasn’t relevant outside the fires of rubicon ending, Wish we could have fought against/with him during NG++

>>23595071
Freud's purpose is to be one part of the recurring theme in the game that humans > all
The ranked 1 pilot is an unaugmented human
Core theory is an inexplicable pattern suggesting that human pilots are superior seemingly no reason
a bunch of others I forget.

>>23595078
I think he was sidelined and should have been more involved in the story, even him against a bunch of allmind’s AI ACs in dialogue would have been better than what we got

>>23595088
It would've been funny if in one of the 3rd playthrough missions he was just farming enemy AI mechs because hr reads them so well

>>23595071
>>Allegedly it was a mistranslation and he was supposed to be V.II Smail after David Smail
>>Salvador Dalí said “Freud’s cranium is a snail
Can you explain that again. I cant make sense of what your trying to say. Is freud not being featured alot due to a mistransaltion. Is it why snail is V2 instead of 1. Idk pls explain.

>>23595318
All the vespers excluding rusty and snail were named after poets, painters, psychologists, artists and philosophers. David Smail was a psychologist.
Pic related was drawn by a Salvador Dali who said Sigmund Freud’s cranium was a snail, so Snail is the brains Freud is the brawn.

>>23595089
He should have helped kill the ice worm

>>23595379
Interesting. I knew that their names was refrencing people. But didnt know this, neat.

>>23595388
That and the redguns were named after lakes/rivers

Michigan (G1): Named after Lake Michigan.
Nile (G2): Named after the Nile River.
Wu Huahai (G3): Named after the Five Flower Lake in China.
Volta (G4): Named after the Volta River or Volta Lake in Ghana.
Iguazu (G5): Named after the Iguazu River and Falls.
Red (G6): Named after the Red River of the South.
Hakra (G7): Named after the dried-up Ghaggar-Hakra River.

As the milita’s ace pilot Jack Cooper stepped into his barracks, he could hear the sound of Sarah and Raven having sex once more. There was a time where he might have thought that the sound was just Sarah masturbating, but now he knew better, as if the occasional low grunt from Raven wouldn’t clarify the truth either way. Stepping into the corridor leading to their bunk, Jack paused for a moment, hesitating to go any further, and then figured he should press on. He had to leave some of his jump-kit batteries in the room, anyway, and there was a part of him that had gotten used to the idea of Raven helping himself to Sarah just about whenever he wanted.
Still, that didn’t make it hurt any less as Jack entered the room properly and saw Raven squatting down a little in front of the cot whilst Sarah lay with her head over the edge and her face pressed between the cheeks of Raven’s ass. When Jack first walked in, Sarah had been rimming Raven with all the effort that she could expend; long, hard sucks to the hole itself before thoroughly tongue-fucking the mercenary’s tight behind, but when Jack walked into the room and Raven caught his gaze, the freelancer suddenly smirked and began to grind back against Sarah. Long strokes ensured that Sarah’s lips and tongue were being ground from the tip of Raven’s crack all the way down to the base of his ballsack.
Sarah had been so caught up in what was happening that she didn’t even notice Jack enter the room, but as Raven ground his hips back and his balls settled against her lips, her eyes opened and she caught Jack’s gaze. At one point, she would have been embarrassed to see him while Raven was using her like this, but no more. Now, she only closed her eyes again and resumed what she had been doing before.
Upon exiting the room he said to himself, “Since Raven-sama’s fucking my Sarah that means I continue wagecucking for BT’s maintenance! YABBA DABBA DOO I’m a happy puppy cuck!”

>>23596819
I'm so orange even the UI has changed color.

Vertical Launch Missiles should have an actual explosion.

>>23595984
Yeah it was definitely hard to get used to it at first, but weirdly enough I kind of got attached to it later on. It gets annoying if I want something to die quickily though lol

>>23596708
Yeah the ECM isn't really useful alot of the time, but when it is it feels nice to not worry about that much. Also, I just like the extra range the radar gives me too

>>23596730
Glad you like it! I was working on it for like 2 hours. I'm not the best artist in the world by any means

>>23596447

>>23597301
Yeah

>>23596900
Man if I was Jack I’d figure Raven could fucking have her. Imagine giving two shits about Sarah when Ash Gates and fem pulse pilot are around.

>>23594806
It’s okay and the mech action is good but there’s subtle things that they keep doing to remind you they’ve vaguely ashamed of the source material, or think they’re better than it. ACs aren’t ACs they’re “cores” small things like that.

FA was faster than 4, and VD faster than V, so we can expect 6.5 to be faster than 6 which is a good thing because it feels that as soon as I'm done with an action I lose all momentum.

I would've prefered gold over blue pulse related stuff like the early screenshots showcased

literally anything can go into the left hand as long as it isn't too heavy. so pick a top speed you are comfortable with, a plasma rifle of your choice, and a en weapon spec generator. VE-20A is the lightest gen and the 760PR is the cheapest plasma rifle if you want somewhere to start.
