It has the best story of any FromSoftware game.

Fromslop games don't have stories, it's all fanfic bro

>>712639295 (OP)
kek it has retarded ng+ features that should be in the ng game didnt care for any npc in this game made of tropes

Sekiro had a good story

>>712639295 (OP)

It's literally just dark souls 1 again

>>712639295 (OP)
it aint gots a furtive pygmy nigguh dat shit is trash

>>712639295 (OP)
Coincidentally, it's also the manliest game released in decades. It's impressive how From managed to fool journos into praising such a masculine game.

>>712639936
tenchu has a more followable plot

Nice I just bought it yesterday :)

>>712639295 (OP)
Walter was right.

>>712640146
Arguably Armored Core For Answer is more masculine, especially because you play as a bloodthirsty killer in all 3 endings, and you commit various levels of mass homicide

>>712640146
Maybe it's just me, but HD2 feels more "manly" for its "cog in the machine" feel alongside the constant explosions

>>712639295 (OP)
Yes, easily. Also an incredible nod to Eureka Seven.

>>712639295 (OP)
It's one of the most solid fromsoft games for sure.
People hate mechs for some reason though, they can't self insert or care if they don't see human characters or whatever, then there's the retard crowd that can't shut the fuck up about real life tanks being better than mechs, or that a mech shouldn't move that fast, whatever bullshit the west is on it prevents people from liking this genre.

>>712640701
I love how the true ending proves that Ayre didnt give a shit about humanity because she's fully willing to risk trillions dying if muh brothers and sisters get to live. She lies to you the whole time, only Walter tells you the truth

>>712643101
The only crowd that's complaining are old fag pretending that turn-rate and limited lock ability were critical feature (instead of fake difficulty)

>>712639295 (OP)
Sekiro has a better story.
Both Sekiro and AC6 have weird things going on though.
AC6 has the Coral/Adrenachrome subtext and Sekiro seems like it's got an MkUltra aspect aimed at westerners with it's Activision funding.
Dark Souls games in general are anti-civilization with all the shit about "embers dying out" or stoking the fires prolonging everyone's misery.

>>712641220
Humanity didn't risk genocide.
Even if there were "trillion" of humans (there aren't), it would be 0.01% of Mankind versus 100% of her species.
Even if we ignored proportion altogether, there's only 3 choices open to her, and she was ok with 2 of them.
- Every Rubiconian die to terrorist. Killing every human around.
- Rubiconian get to live, even if as cattle burned as fuel. Under the control of a brainwashing corporation.
- Rubiconian are spread far enough away in the galaxy to avoid extinction. Most human death come from human fighting without even knowing fuel is sentient waifu

Explain

>>712644842
No other devs delivers mechas as lewd as From does.

>>712644842
Armored Core has extremely good gameplay and always has as well as having great oppressive atmosphere.

>>712644558
We have no idea what actually happens in Alea Iacta Est because the ending isn't clear enough. But we are literally told that Coral can replicate itself, and it will exponentially spread across the universe. Humanity is still under risk. Ayre's true goal is Coral Release but she accepts co-existence as a compromise.

>>712644842
The Armored Core series just hits all the right mecha otaku notes AND has great gameplay.
And it's not just that it has great gameplay, but it's gameplay that's grown and evolved over decades so you have an established and nostalgic formula.

>>712645381
Coral release is also co-existence.
And mankind can't complain because under another interpretation it means there's now MORE planets producing the glorious waifu fuel.

The ending is pretty clear, you are literally told the black hole will allow them to teleport (FTL travel) away, then you are shown multiple redlike color far in the sky.
If Coral was capable of FTL travel across the galaxy on their own, they would already have spread everywhere.
Since Mankind is barely even capable of recognizing Coral as sentient (and some would hide it to exploit it anyway if they knew), the only solution is to force them to realize it is.

Besides, ALL-MIND objective was making a hive-mind of everyone, compounded by the fact that one autist managed to jam Ayree only way to participate in the battle. So the only risk Mankind face is itself.

>>712643315
wtf does this even mean

The only complaint I have about this game is that there's not enough of it.
and that I can't figure out how to drift on tank chassis with MK+B, is it even possible?.

>>712644842
>>dozens upon dozens of people make mecha game
>mecha game
90% of the "mecha" have shit-poor standard for that name.

>look at me, I made a third person shooter but this time the character look like a mecha!
>how does it move? Like it weight nothing (cause tech, whatever), actually I also make it hover with thruster so I don't have to animate running
>is it complex? Don't worry, I just made some moves a bit more clunky, and you can switch equipment to have +10 or -10 stats change cause I can't code anything more complex than missile turning toward target.

Compared to Armored core.
>mecha can mount very different propulsion.
>every mech hover and dash but at least you have a lot of sophistication with multiple movement dynamic.
>even AC6 mainstream take has a lot of sophistication in the equipment, how they are used, what they are best at.

And the mech are so importants we don't even see humans.

>>712639295 (OP)
Camera not being connected to where your mech is facing made me really hate 6. Outside of that it was just kind of average. Not bad by any means, but if I could choose I would play one of the older games.

>>712646997
FINALLY someone gets it. Mechs are treated like window dressing in other mech games, whereas in AC they're front and center.

>>712639295 (OP)
I liked LRs story more.

What about another souls multiplayer?

>>712655827
AC6 Armory
It's shit, but it's extreme (if your definition is adding tons of shit most of which hardly fits) and the first mission has more enemies than vanilla has you kill throughout the entire first chapter
I tried the default mod and most of the "variants" are diablo tier garbage like "-20% damage but damage converted to shock" or "regens 4hp/s" that just bloats the shop and inventory screen to oblivion, so maybe try the version from nexus without the variants. I also only beat the first chapter on NG before quitting, so I have no idea if the extremely modified bosses that shoot 500 lasers like it's a Newtype Mobile Armor make it to the game proper or are locked into the training mode

>>712640197
Tenchu is not a Fromsoft game

>>712639295 (OP)
Yes, by far.
But brownoids and zoomers can't imagine stories without faces.

>>712657637
Use a midweight or heavy weight core. Quad legs are for builds that can take a beating and has a high stability.

For your arm weapons, Use dual linear Rifles or the Baws RF rifle (The one big rifle not the shitty AR one).

Use missiles, but not vertical ones on the back.

Most importantly make sure you learn all the stats in the garage.

>>712656985

Tempted to get back into the online shit was fun as hell.

>>712656985
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Pretty short game at 11 hours for me though I do plan to finish all the ng+ stuff. Gorgeous game but combat is a little one note. Even after clearing all arenas it's all just kinda samey. Still good, just wish combat was more

Joshua O'Brien or Rusty

Fuck me I need to figure out how to make better weebums

>>712639295 (OP)
I kinda skimmed ac6 threads on release because I didn't care for mech stuff then but recently tried ac6, beat it and now doing ng+. Did people seriously get filtered by tutorial heli?

>>712661290
Yep. People didn't want to use the assault boost and use the pulse blade.

>>712661290
Yes and pre nerf Balteus too.

>>712641738
lol the only thing that actually stops hair loss is dht inhibitors but I get the feeling you're a sperg so you're going to try to get around this when it's the only truth

>>712661592
Don't forget about the Sea Spider filtering people

>>712661559
That's crazy. He felt like a pushover

>>712661592
I'd love to have played that on release. I found him easy but the fight itself, like a lot of them, just oozed kino.

I think only boss that gave me some grief was ibis series

>>712661716
Ibis is where the real game starts, honestly. Everything before it teaches you the ropes, but Ibis straight up asks if you’ve actually been paying attention. That speed, the tracking, the AoEs—pure filtered-from-orbit energy. Still remember my first clear had me at 47 AP left and sweating like I was defusing a bomb.

Balteus pre-nerf was a wall, but Ibis was a goddamn skill check.

>>712661290
I suspect people insisted in playing it like a Souls game. Not even like the first one where you had to take enviroment into the equation, but later itinerations where you just play in flat arenas.

>>712661650
This is true. Some people just naturally convert more free test to dht. The sneed oils panic is retarded. Just stop cooking with it and move on with your life

>>712639295 (OP)
the story is just alright, it's the dialogue that's goated
prolly a top 10 games with memorable quotes of al time

>>712661770
No clue how people do that since boosts dont have iframes. From the start it was clear to me this is a game of pure speed and aggression.

>>712661758
I can see that. Will push to ng++

>>712661290
If you didn't get the Balteus trophy before the patch, you didn't beat the game.

>>712661716
>That's crazy. He felt like a pushover
Like I said, people didn't want to get close.

>>712648508
I hate to tell you this, but Mechwarrior 3, the toted “best mech simulator” didnt even have camera locked to where you mech was looking. That’s not a dig at Mechwarrior 3, it’s a dig at people thinking a camera locked to the backside at all times is something that’s a requirement.

The problem was that heli could leave the arena, but you couldn't. So if you whittled down the stagger bar in a bad spot, your last minute's work was for naught and you might even get a face full of rockets on top of that.

Is a wheelchair with double shotgun and double grenade launcher still the best you can have?

The Songbirds (Double grenade launcher) have been nerfed heavily.
The also nerfed the Zimzams and the Wheelchair too.

The starter AC has been buffed at least 10 times by now. Same with 90% of the parts.

You guys never beat the games. What's even the point of playing with cheats.

I don't agree. Not one bit.

>>712664359
How is it a slog? If you don't like the 1/3 game then I don't know what to tell you. I'm just telling you that you haven't finished the game.

>>712664343
>He doesn't want his mech to be bad and bougie.
I don't understand the point.

>>712664684
You telling me 2/3 of the game are just repeat missions of 1 the first 1/3? That's grim. Is there at least substantial story development or is this just a way of getting the other endings?
It's a slog in that the same missions over and over aren't incentive enough to do the game 2 more times imo

>>712665195
You are a one and done kind of guy. Okay. I thought this was more for you.

>>712665278
I just thought it would not be the same missions again? Surely if the game builds on the story in ng+ it would at least be different missions?

i should have made more screenshots of my first playthrough

>>712665195
Well yeah.
>Is there at least substantial story development
Nope, there won't be any deviation from the mission you taken. For example, during the mission where you're working with 2 AC on the first few mission, there won't be any changes like an option to betray them.
Or how instead of destroying STRIDER, we escort them, nothing. It's the same mission.
There also aren't any difference in how Allmind and Walter treating you. Nor if we're getting more indepth with what is actually going on in Rubicon.
It's all the same.
>or is this just a way of getting the other endings?
yes.

>>712665715
Alright that's on me then, I just expected something different when I heads about the game

>>712665450

>>712665863
The game is too easy

>>712639295 (OP)
What the fuck are you talking about? The game barely even has a story with how it's never explained what the central plot device even is and has to tell you what your relationship is supposed to be with them without any buildup. With shit like Ayre talking about you betraying dreams together despite never talking about them before hand and Rusty calling you friends with no justification besides helping you kill a robot. And that's without getting into shit like how stupid it is that every important administrative role is held by a mech pilot to save on characters, how every pilot is useless when perfect emulations of them that can be put in a store bought armored core exist, or how armored cores are basically worthless compared to the orbital lasers which are logically portrayed as the vastly super weapon.

So we should abolish the army because the air force exists? Because you will obviously never ever need any sort of force below full throttle tactical nukes, it's just inconceivable.
