What went wrong?

>>719043829 (OP)
That first trailer was 10x better than the actual game.

Nothing, it was great.
>if people don't keep talking about a short-ish single player game 29 years after its release it means it bombed
Good bait I guess, made me reply
Now end yourself

>>719043930
>single player game
Except it's not. If this was purely a single player game, I could understand why it died out.

Sorry I liked a thing so to become popular it had to become a thing I don't like, that is how the rules of this universe work.

>>719043829 (OP)
no invasions

>>719043829 (OP)
nothing. it's one of the best games made in a decade

Kino: the game

>>719043829 (OP)
Nothing, it was good enough to get me interested in the whole series and im loving it
On AC Nexus right now, disk 2 content as I've already beaten the main story

>>719044065
>Armored Core 6

Shazam lost.

>>719043829 (OP)
stagger, damage falloff, weak enemies outside of bosses, boring level design, washed out color, lack of weapon variety, bad balance, boring pvp, overall lack of content and replayability
it's still good, but it has a lot of flaws and I hope that the success of ac6 means they're working on either a more fleshed out expansion or a new game. It really sucks that elden ring is being used for open world stuff and nightreign roguelike mechanics because that type of content is way more suited to mecha than to souls.

The ost and difficulty in frame part mixing.

>>719045075

whatever u do dont play 4

4 being in the brown and bloom era doesn't change the fact that 6 is mostly grey

>>719043829 (OP)
They never planned for a DLC or offered new parts beyond a handfull post release.

Mother fucking entire mech body locked behind preorder bonus code and you can't even buy it.

>>719043829 (OP)
the fucking nerfs

>>719047448
>Mother fucking entire mech body locked behind preorder bonus code and you can't even buy it.
it's just the melander parts, not some hyper op / limited set of parts that can make or break certain builds

>>719045652
And V. And a bunch of the PS2 games being stupidly grey and gloomy. AC hasn't been bright and colorful since the first games.

>>719047637
I wasn't comparing it to the original games, the color palette is dull on its own merits

>>719047637
ACN was pretty bright and colorful

>>719047493
To bosses? Yes. To weapons? Nah, I like the changes. They improved options across the board by nailing a few over powered things to a cross.

>Open world
No

>>719047713
I am and the series has been grey or brown for twenty years.
>>719047732
Anon killer song but just look at the thumbnail. There's a singular strip of color in the whole image. I'm not saying every screen is gonna be that grey, but these games got very, very grey.

>>719043829 (OP)
Nothing, it's fine except it leaned a bit too heavily on souls inspired boss design. Other than that it was great.

>>719045785
It.

A.

>>719047858
In that one image yes, but the actual game was very colorful
Sure not PS1 colorful, but nexus was a very colorful game
As much as I love AC3 though, that game was very drab color wise since it was all underground and in factories or dark cities

>>719047632
Melander/C parts are all unique models based off of normal Melander. You can't get any of these four parts unless you preorder, honestly they're stylistically better than the normal melander and have good stats.

>>719043829 (OP)
Nothing, it was a critical and commercial success.

>>719044738
Armored Core 1 had VS mode. It's never been purely single player.

>>719043829 (OP)
Soulless game.
Boring and mediocre, way too easy, uninspired story, the gameplay is too shallow, most customization is useless, just overall mid and forgettable game. 5/10 for the good movement and controls

>take a game about being a mercenary that can pick any faction and ascend with them to the dominant power in the amored core universe and transform it in a soulslike dodgeslop glorifeid boss rush with corridors and 0 exploration that requires 0 decision making or strategic decision
Only autistic retards would like this trash

>>719044391
2 hours out of 30 hours are like this, the rest is just boring shit.

game needs more enemy variety that dont die in a couple hits.

and a create a level feature to fill the hole for lack of dlc

>>719047816
???

>>719048173
>>719048195
b-but it's the most sold armored coreeeee ;_; therefore it's good...

>>719043829 (OP)
it doesn't look like the your average rollslop game, so rollsloppers didn't bother with this one

>>719048009
You can buy the Melander C3 parts ingame sometime around Chapter 4 I think. The only thing that's preorder exclusive is early access to these parts and the paint job

>>719048195
>being a mercenary that can pick any faction and ascend with them to the dominant power
I'm pretty sure there's really like 2 games where you can actually work with specific companies at the expense of others and it only really changes what parts you unlock. AC1 just plays a cutscene midway where they both lose anyway and the game continues on without them. Empire building was never much of an element.

>>719048554
In all games one of the core elements was balancing your budget and you actually had to prepare properly for all missions because you could actually bankrupt, the series was never this arcade slop with restarting checkpoint, the limitations and arcade elements were down to the limitations (armored core was released on 2012 for fuck sake)

armored core v*

You can even change loadout mid fucking boss fight thats how much of an arcade slop this was. in any other armored core there was a benefit to have an all-rounder build but in this trash half the customization is fucking useless

>>719048856
blame the casuals that dropped the game at balteus and complained online.

when the game was first released changing ACs mid level wasnt a thing

also thats kind of a non point to be upset about because whats stopping you as the player to reset the level if you die because you can only switch builds when you respawn

>>719048725
>because you could actually bankrupt
Or reload your save. Did anyone not just reload their save?
>released on 2012
The ancient halcyon years of 2012, where games with vector graphics made little bings and gave you +100 points for stomping a goomba was the most realistic simulation ever created.
Lol face it the corporations never mattered. They betray you or die in pretty much every game no matter what you do. There's no empire building.

>>719044391
Sadly I don't think any of the bosses after this are nearly as good. The game peaked early.

>>719049254
I have never mentioned empire building you autistic retard, i mentioned that the game was never this much of an arcade slop made for toddlers and the arcade elements were there because of how old the entry was (most armored core titles were from before the ps3)

>reloading saves
you didn't beat the game

>>719043829 (OP)
Nothing literally one of the best singleplayer games I've ever played. The only reason I stopped is after 500 hours I'd done everything. I'd pre-order an expansion and put in another 500 hours in a heartbeat, but FromSoft are too busy making multiple not-Dark Souls incestuous clones.

https://youtu.be/AWksqXzkvbk

>>719049210
>when the game was first released changing ACs mid level wasnt a thing
Yes it was, you fucking retard. It was one of the most contentious changes known about the game alongside the repair kits. You just can't buy stuff from the shop while in a mission, but you could freely change your AC between different parts or presets you already owned.

>>719049210
>when the game was first released changing ACs mid level wasnt a thing
Why would you so confidently say something like this

>>719048009
>>719047448
>You can't get any of these four parts unless you preorder,
What is with the fucking misinfo in this thread from blatant niggers who haven't actually played the game?

>>719049370
>the arcade elements were there because of how old the entry was
I don't think they ever said this.

So you're saying they intentionally released crappy arcade slop but they actually wanted to make epic realistic corporate development games because simulation games just didn't exist in... uh... *erm checks notes* 2012?

>>719047816
It literally is not open world what the fuck are you talking about LOL. Do you think AC2AA or AC4A are "open world"

>>719043829 (OP)
The missions were too constrained.old games gave you more options to go about completing the mission.

>>719049513
>>719049526
both of you are smoking crack and proves youre not real armored core fans because you didnt buy and play the game ar launch. also i bet you complained about the healthpacks on 4chan but still used it like the casual you are.

>>719049749
The ability to swap parts out mid-mission after death has been in the game since launch you fucking no-games playing retard.

Reminder that Armored Core 6 has a dedicated hate autist akin to the DCSfag who shat on Ace Combat 7 for five years non-stop between 2019-2024. He makes these threads constantly asking "what went wrong?" and then posting blatant false facts about the game.

You mean posture. Stagger has been in AC for a long time.

>>719050235
Your delusions are funny.

I just started today just finished the wall mission. What is an OP weapon akin to Rykard's sword in ER?

Lock on ruined this game

This sure happened a lot considering how many people think they're not the same.

>>719050473
Hello retard
Stagger was in ACV/D and gave a defense debuff
Titan missiles in 3rd gen would also stagger.
First and second gen had the shock absorber stat which dictated if a weapon would stagger you
6 mimics posture from Sekiro

>>719050424
Yeah, it just made the gameplay feel like the same bullshit they've been churning out for years.
>Lock on
>Roll (dash) when enemies attack you
>Shoot when you're not being attacked
wow
>>719050464
fuck you

>>719050816
>No rebuttal to the fact heavy builds were never ever good in any AC until 4, which effectively negated turn speed altogether with built-in quick turn, and even then they struggled against super light Nip blade autism

>>719050741
>Titan missiles in 3rd gen would also stagger.
Go one further, the best weapon in Armored Core 2 was one of the basic rifles, because it staggered the fuck out of enemy ACs to the point they couldn't really move.

>>719050880
I don't care about pvp

>>719050464
>Tank builds no longer utterly irrelevant
Did you not play VD online? Tanks and quadforts were the META for sweat teams. Nearly every match at the end of INT's life was quadforts with tanks using Dual KRSWs

>>719050741
See>>719050473

>>719050350
I think having hard lock helps this game for the speed it goes, both you and your opponent (outside of MT's) are going at mach fuck and zipping all over the place. If the FCS you used actually changed your lock on then I'd be in favor of no hard lock, but with soft lock effectively being the long and narrow FCS of the older games, I think AC6 wouldn't be as well received as it currently is

>>719050961
No, because it was impossible to get games in ACV and VD even on launch. I think the playercount for ACVD on launch day one was like 2000 on Xbox in Europe, and it dwindled into nothing after that.

>>719051092
So no argument just buzzword. Concession accepted retard

Anything lighter than HW biped is factually worthless in AC2 because of the speed cap and bugged generators.
Blading is only strong in for Answer on 150 ping reg 1.20 because it is literally impossible to shoot them when they lag warp through your bussy.

>>719050920
That's not stagger that's overheat, and it's "one of the basic rifles" because AC2 has fuck all weapons at all and even fewer that have enough ammo to be usable for anything.

>>719043829 (OP)
The amount of stats I had to consider from VD to 6 was insulting. It was like going from Gran Turismo to Mario Kart

>>719043829 (OP)
Direct hit adjustment stat

>>719051579
Nobodies tracing the fat robot gentleman rickshaw puller.

>>719051715
Overheat is pretty clearly a prototype version of stagger, like how they took energy from stamina systems. It's all about limiting your movement for punishment attacks.

AC 4 and 5 (plus their expansions) have entire OSTs full of extremely soulful catchy tracks, then 6 comes out with a soundtrack composed 99% of the most generic techno/action movie slop and 1 good song that you hear once in the game per playthrough

>>719052206
Who said anything about tracing? Arguing with yourself again, schizoid-kun?

>>719052381
the best part is theres a better version of that one good song on the bonus tracks which they just decided not to use at all for some reason

>>719053530
I thought the ost was really great, well most of it. I didn't like rusty's theme at all and really like any of the tracks towards the end of the game. Story and characters were pretty fun, but I also didn't like the combat that much. I felt conflicted about it because I really liked the combat in 4 and the overall plotline in that game, but I thought the characters were really weak. Meanwhile in 6 I didn't like the combat and story as much (still liked it overall) but I felt the characters were much stronger. Oh also overall I liked the mech design in 4 more than 6.

Lack of Co-op.

>>719043829 (OP)
They should've told you new game + and ++ had new missions and shit.

My friends and I all beat the game once and went "that was it?" And traded it in.

How the fuck did it go over the developers heads that the majority of players were not going to replay the game again just for a few extra side missions and weapons? How stupid do you have to be to not let us know or just let us skip to the new missions?

It was a major blunder because of this. Most who talk about the game dropped it after Ng. And that's on the devs.

>>719054669

>>719054715

>>719054669
The game clearly has multiple endings, but making you replay the entire thing was a dickhead move even when for Answer did it but at least in that game it was an excuse to go back and S rank missions but you can't do that in VI because it was designed by an asshole.

>>719054872
Why does he space out his sentences like that? Nobody else does that.

>>719043829 (OP)
Nothing. Suicide.

>>719043829 (OP)
no turn rate
casualized controls to an extreme
auto-aim cranked up to 11, mech will literally snap-turn 180 and fire off-screen at a locked target if using tank legs
skill ceiling in the gutter due to auto-aim short-ranged combat, maneuverability made pointless by the presence of everyone being a w+m1 lockon machine

all of the above due to excluding sensible turn rates and turning the mechs into giant darksouls characters that can instantly spin around on a hotplate

Fucking Souls bosses. I know at least one hardcore AC fan that literally couldn't play the game because it requires fucking twitch reaction dodgerolling. Like, older gamers often can't with the pure reflex gameplay. It SUCKS. AC1-3 were HARD, but in a more tactical/control sense. Tgis game forces you to approach it like a zoomer action game, like AC 4, not a great direction.

>>719043829 (OP)
They finished the game. That's really it nothing went wrong, it was a game that was completed and sold.

>>719048856
How is that arcade? If it was arcade you'd be stuck with the same load out until you ran out of lives and had to restart the whole game.
Do zoomers think 'arcade' is anything that is video-gamey that breaks the immersion that you're playing a movie?

Man. That killed a lot of excitement I had for 6. In VD I remember helping a guy brand new to AC by Pile bunkering the first jobber AC fight a second after his cutscene ended. He sent me a message asking what the fuck did I do to him and I explained it and gave him some tips to help him out. Was fun helping people with the harder missions later on. And acting like a Merc in PVP Managed to do a special mission on my own against the 4 AI MTs with a tank build and survived with two digit AP. That's a nother thing 6 pvp is missing too, those cool PVE Special missions you could get fighting exclusive challenge bosses like the remains of spirit of motherwill or LiV

>>719049730
I don't really agree with that. What was more unique I'm the older games is that you could straight up fail a mission and have to bear the cost of ammo and repairs without the reward and you'd have to keep going.

Tanks were always good. Gen 2 tanks could just OB around the map and you'd have no hope of overcoming their HP lewd in vs mode while they get to equip DPS out the wazoo.

Tell me this is cherry picking and not how slow this game actually is.

>>719055310
1-3 are the best

>>719055135
Yes but it isn't the AC I remember. Then again, the last one I played was 3 before this one.

>>719055286
are you pretending this game is difficult now?

>>719055467
I like pic related more than anything that 6 came up with.

>>719055486
It's not that slow

>>719055310
Yes, they had a cult fan base that kept From from going under for years.

>>719055310
Yes. But if you're a zoomer/alfie you will suffer for a bit until the controls click, or don't. Play all 3 PS1 games. Play 2. 2AA is optional but I had fun with the challenges of the missions and EX bosses. Play 3, Silent Line, Nexus, Skip ninebreaker, Last Raven, 4/4A, V has a decent story but is shit to play VD is better

>>719055486
You can spaz out like the Doom webms but that is basically the game yes.

>>719043829 (OP)
The more I think about it, the stagger shit really damaged the entire gameplay. I'd say that the result was pretty palatable and not bad in any way, but you can SEE. You can physically FEEL how it restrains the entire game. And you can imagine, "What if it didn't have the stagger?" What if all your bullets didn't just plink off of the enemies and do zero damage by default. What if you could actually shoot at rifle range and do damage? What if the guns were actually equal and you didn't have to charge the rifles for 10 seconds to do what Zimmermans can do in one shot? It didn't fail. It wasn't completely unbearable. But it's seriously not a direction I can see continuing the series.

>>719050285 be careful with >>719050365 no other build will come close. It's just too fun and powerful you can't go back.

>>719055784

Still pretty fun and I love the graphical style of the old ones with the hand painted textures and lowpoly, like old MH compared to new, basically way clunkier to play but they have nice aesthetics and atmosphere

anyone who PVPs in fromsoft games is mentally ill most probably. As an occasional thing it's exciting, it supplements the single-player. As a dedicated experience it sucks ass. Armored Core lacks the former so it's just all ass.

good morning.

been slowly been going through the old games, AC2 was pretty easy, didn't bother with doing all of 2AA because that game just has too many missions. playing 3 now, I'm a bit stuck on this fucking thing. took a bunch of damage trying to get a clean screenshot of this thing (and I still managed to get my dumbass cursor in it) so ignore my low AP and high ammo pool. I just can't seem to dodge any of the projectiles very well even when bunny hopping. should I just swap to like, double machine gun arms and try to DPS this thing down?

The turn speed in everything pre-4 felt like your AC was stuck in dogshit
Would be fine if the game was entirely built around being heavy and slow, but when you can boost and fly in the air at hundreds of miles an hour but can't simply look to your left in under 5 minutes to shoot the annoying flying drone shooting in the face it is such a painful experience

Stagger lock happens with handguns in AC1 sure, but not with rifles in AC2 man come on.

>>719043829 (OP)
Nothing the only issues is that it needs more content they really need to get that expansion out if I'm being honest. It's a good AC game but it needs the 4A treatment to basically elevate the game even more like a Balem route or even more mission variety and I guess adding in more songs from the extra OST they did not to long ago. I don't really give a shit about how and what an AC game should be since that definition has changed numerous times and I doubt 6 will be the last one to do that since From is obviously aware people want more AC in the future so I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the formula again since I doubt they'll port any of their older games

Except for the fact you can literally hard-counter being staggered in AC6 with Pulse Armor.

The best thing the expansion could do is introduce more things like Pulse Armor that mitigates/negates stagger build-up at the cost of losing a weapon in exchange. In general the game needs way more utility items desu.

perhaps it should be telling that the lock-on for ac6 is so aggressively hand-holding that people visually cannot distinguish if it is being used or not
you are choosing strange hills to die on, anon

Armored core should've fully swapped to dual stick controls for the PS2 and then even faster turning and controls for the HD era, which they did mostly do anyway. AC6 is just speedrunning the changes they should've made ages ago so the mechs didn't feel like hovering gun turrets.

Kicking is a better mechanic than literally anything they did in the PS2 games aside from dual sticks.

There are other cool bosses, sometimes the ones where it's 2v1. The CEL 240 boss taught me to sweep with melee weapons.

The only flaw was that there wasn't more of it. What caught me most by surprise (especially considering From's usual storytelling methods) was how invested I was in the story and characters

>>719061524
Melee attack lockon doesn't home in on a vertical axis as well as the horizontal axis, so he was swinging at me, I just wasn't there anymore because the bhopping manipulates his very static attacks.
And yes I do I didn't even finish watching the shadowplay I recorded and this is a much better example of movement.

The only unwarranted one is the opening swing, which should have been a kick. On the second I was close to stagger and the third could have killed me. And given the conversation revolves around gameplay like >>719055252 I think the point is made that the game does go faster than blindly hovering around with dual gats.

>>719058050
Go as a tank with heavy rockets that deal as most dmg as possible, and just lay into it

This boss wasn't actually hard. The game's combat range is just balanced so weirdly that if you try attacking it at ranges most people would intuitively associate with a mecha game, you do no damage because everything ricochets.
You see a lot of people struggling in general because they make that mistake. Once it clicks that the game is more like sekiro soulslop where you dress up as a robot, all the fights become a joke.

>>719062941
Literally every weapon is viable now. Combat range was buffed well over a year ago and most of the longest range rifles are intended to be used between 220-300 meters.

>>719065307
The helicopter is literally a mental check to make you understand you can't just hang back like a fucking bitch against a boss. That's why the pulse blade is the most effective tool against it, alongside boosting towards it during its missile barrage.

>>719064110
The only problem with AC is how often the enemies get cool unique abilities that you don't get. The first time you have to fight flying enemies over a stage hazard and you think "shit, I can't have that?"
>>719065307
I think if you saw the big fat helicopter with a bunch of long range weapons and though "wow, I better keep my distance!" you probably need to analyze that.

Imagine hating every form of mecha game so much that you even hate your own franchise outside of like two games in the whole thing. ACfag, you're a fucking embarrassment.

>>719065437
In any other game a helicopter with no melee weapons would just fly away from you if you try to chase it and blow your back out while you diddle around with a sword (scripting it to try to maintain range and an altitude advantage isn't exactly advanced shit), but in ACVI it's just a hovering on rails punching bag for you to do sick* combos on

*the combos are not sick and they all end like you stopped halfway through a combo in EXVS and were left with your pants down awkwardly floating in mid-air

One thing I noticed in AC6, does the game no longer have gun arms? I remembered the old games instead of having arms that have hands, you can get arms with built in guns such as machine guns, rocket launchers, etc.

What are some alternatives to AC?
I only ever played 6

>>719066148
Putting in weapon arms would imply that you should ever not have a melee weapon and they wouldn't want that.

Exactly! He's up there with Austin and the cheetodustAnon! Those guys are a menace, hold on i'll see if i can find some examples from the archives. I'll also check my old PC i'm sure i have detailed files on those insane crazy schizos on there somewhere...

This game was good. Why do so many of you on here hate on it?

>>719066062
Kek

It was pretty good with a few flaws

>too arcadey movement, instant turning as fast as you can spin your controls, doesn't feel anymore like you're building and controlling a machine or that your building decisions matter as much
>very watered down customization compared to pretty much all the previous series entries, lots of traditional part types missing

I'm still holding out hope for AC 6Answer of some kind but even if it comes I doubt they'd change these things.

game's fun with mods to make regular enemies less of a pushover

It's literally just not happening. A follow up game was never more than 19 months later than the original and at this point there would be more time between ACVI and another game than there was between Sekiro and ACVI to actually make the original game in the first place. (technically the length of time between LR and AC4 and 4 and fA are the same as each other but that's pretty misleading because Project Force was announced with in game footage of Noblesse Oblige 3 months before LR even released.)

All announcing the mark of the beast.

Revelation 13:17-18 KJV
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

A followup game was also never ten years later lol

Remember when six itself was a never ever, get over it, souls is their new audience?

>>719048173
Yeah I found it bizarrely easy even before the patches. I was genuinely confused when people were saying it was difficult on here.

Yeah same in like 2 tries pre-patch. Game plays itself.

>>719065373
>Literally every weapon is viable now
lole

uh oh melty

It was fun but the ADHD turn speeds ruin the mech feel and stagger bar mechanics are always shit because they dictate too much of the gameplay once the novelty wears off.

>>719068236
They are probably thinking very hard about how to make sure a follow up game, if any, has more legs than ac6 did. Sure it was a critical success, it was fun and people had nothing but praise when it was current, but it's irrelevant now. That might've been fine for the From of 20 years ago but it's not a great way for a studio to spend money now.

>>719062452
Yeah they all range from pretty good to great, but the controls, aesthetics, and learning curve are different in every generation.
If and when you get to Last Raven, don't beat yourself up too much over failures since the difficulty spike in that game is kinda absurd, the latter half of a lot of routes is damn near impossible unless you play the mission, fail, and then come back with a specific load out to clear it or you just git gud enough to beat it with any load out. Personally I think the difficulty spike is just annoying and will limit your builds and drain your sanity, but every other AC game will look like a walk in the park compared to it.

>>719068025
meds, now.

I fucking love the rubicon liberation front

Somehow a cheap ass Nitroplus game with PS3 graphics had better gameplay with no stagger and dodge rolling twitch reflex horse shit.

>>719069413
>had better gameplay
It really didn't. It was neat but it definitely felt like a $12.99 videogame.

>>719048240
I think the joke here is that the game is that long

It was low effort in the AC department. First AC that was a downgrade from the previous one as far as AC presentation goes. People that played ACVD will notice it immediately.

>>719043829 (OP)
Too short.
The game ends just as you're starting to understand the weapons sandbox.

>>719069740
This except vd, a complete downgrade from 4a.

>>719069874
4A was the low point of the entire series. Fortunately the people that committed this travesty left From to make DxM(which flopped lol)

>>719055007
Fucking kids these days can't even be bothered to tard wrangle their own camera. Their mangled adhd squirrel brain can only understand holding left to circle strafe. AC6 feels like playing a character, not piloting a mech as it used too.

>>719070135
I don't remember any mech anime featuring them slowly turning about, unable to point their guns at targets that aren't directly in front of them. It'd be a pretty shit anime, right?

>>719065860
All good

>>719070207
If you're slowly rotating in place to aim you haven't been playing AC correctly

>>719043829 (OP)
Nothing. It's great.

>>719070521
AC4 is the only exception in the entire series. It was the floodgate that let in the shitters in by completely disregarding the entire series legacy. From quicjky went back on it in ACV(which was the best selling AC up until AV6)

>>719059490
Mission accomplished.

>>719070571
5 was fast as shit too. Even in 1-3 you would quickly reposition rather than sit still and turn around. In every game you can do crazy anime shit, but it requires you learn how to move corectly. You're only clunky when you first start out, and when you get better you start playing far more smoothly. AKA exactly how it would work if you were learning to pilot a mecha. The game does not simply give you the anime, it makes you earn it.

I played other AC games and the "hardcore fans" are full of shit when they criticize 6.

The only harder game was Last Raven, and that one was specially designed to be as masochistic as possible and didn't give much loadout freedom in what can work for the missions.

>>719070135
This is true, but this didn't extend anywhere else other than the Arena. Everyone admits AC6 Arena is a weak point.

>>719070770

I think a mech would let you track targets outside of a little box squarely in front of you, considering they have heads that can look around.
It's simulating something, but it sure isn't a mech.

>>719069552
Ya silly goose, GTA 6 is the third 6.

>>719065048
This is what I have been running in Ranked on and off whenever I play the game. It's just a simple measure of finding an opportunity where someone pins themself down, like pivoting, during a bad boost, or just too close, and just lighting them up with the most amount of bubble damage I can shit out. I eat grenades and shotties to the face to do it and I'm tanky enough with the shield and stability to get away with it.
I kinda prefer big bubble guns but the smaller ones do have a quicker recharge rate.

>>719070970
>I think a mech would let you track targets outside of a little box squarely in front of you
what do you think the thing on the top right on every game is retard? >>719057769

Reminder that the 5th gen literally killed the series

>>719071318
When you think about it, MTs should control like the old style and ACs like the new style. It's stupid that this crazy powerful superfast mech that links directly into the pilot for insane reaction speed has to slowly turn around to face enemies, even though it has arms and a head.

They should spin on a dime, and a new MT spinoff game should use the old controls. Those guys usually don't have heads, so it makes more sense for them to not be able to so something as basic as look around to track a target.

>>719071110
I don't buy it man, sorry. Not gonna play GTA though, V online and its consequences for R* have been disastrous.

>>719065048

It was darksouls with an armored core paintjob.

>>719071381

ACV and ACVD sold so atrociously that it put the franchise on an 10-11 year hiatus.

>>719069552
>Call me when the Anti-Christ is born in June 6 2066.
Can't do. 1946 is the best I can.

>>719071409
>They should spin on a dime
lmao no, the entire appeal of controlling a massive machine is that it's fucking massive
if you take away the feeling of it being big, then there's no difference with just controlling a person with a different set of visuals
a massive structure like a mech should only move fast when it's using energy to move fast like boosting, thus fast turning should only be a thing when boosting exactly like how AC4A did it

>>719071258
>bubble enjoyer
Based.

>>719071676
>massive machine is that it's fucking massive
>a massive structure like a mech
It's ten-twelve meters tall and has more thrusters than apollo 11. It should go so fast it can kill by flying too close to people.

I wonder if /v/'s opinion of AC6 will change the moment AC7 is out.

>>719072004
I mean they're defending 4 and 5 for their fucking lives, so odds are it's gonna continue the trend.

>>719072004
you just know 7 is going to be worse
they're going to make it open world due to ER's success

>>719072326
It's funny how the one thing from darksouls people actually wanted transplanted into armored core is the only thing they didn't transfer over.

>>719072326
People have wanted an open world AC game since at least the PS2.

>>719072450
>>719072475
>already defending the sloppification
KEEEEEEEEEK

>>719072745
I'm not defending that bullshit. I'm saying the single solitary thing that was worth porting over from souls that would fit into the setting is the one thing they left out. They did the complete opposite of what they should have.

>>719072847
>that would fit into the setting
No.
Most of the pilot's time is not spent in the the AC. It's like asking for open world Ace Combat, it makes no sense.

>>719043930
personally i think its because it attracted souls players, who expected a journey game but mecha and instead got an actual story n shiet

>>719072925
ACs showing up mid mission to kill you is a staple of armored core. The rival corperations would also be a perfect analog for the covenants. You could even have a hit list system where the ACs who take the higher paying but illegal missions would rack up a bounty and have a much higher chance of having an AC hired to kill them.

>>719043829 (OP)
I still haven't forgiven Valve for forcing the update on me.
I bought the game. Why am I not allowed to play the game I bought? GOG would have allowed me to play the game I bought. Old physical media allowed me to play the game I bought.
Why doesn't Steam allow me to play the game I bought?

bioshock had a multiplayer mode on consoles, yet it's remembered as a purely single-player game
just because the game has a half-assed multiplayer mode for shitters to try out their PVP build they got from a sloptuber it doesn't prevent the game from being a single-player focused experienced

>>719075930
Bioshock is worthless garbage and so is AC6

For me? Dual trigger build and literally just holding the shoot buttons for the entire boss fight without worrying about positioning at all

>>719076050
You've been kicking and screaming that 6 wasn't realistic and simulationist but the only one you ever seem to like is the one where you climb up walls like spiderman.

>>719076050
I played the entire series last year and V/VD had the most fun and tactile movement systems out of them all even if the mechs feel clumsy at first and are basically MTs compared to NEXTs. That said V was short and unremarkable (much like 4 compared to 4A). VD had soulful music and a sick throwback to 4A, and it would probably be my favourite out of all of them if it wasn't stuck on shit systems running at sub-30 fps all the time. Shame I missed the online.

I'd like that, although unlike you I enjoyed my time with 6 just fine - though less gameplay-wise but more as an artistic feast. It pulled off its setting amazingly well both visually and in the story and I only wish they didn't rein in Hoshino's craziness this time around.

What were your favorite type of legs? I used reverse joints for the longest time but eventually just settled on bipedal completely optimized for speed, because it has way less cooldown for quick boosts

>>719077016
Iron man is boostslop.

>>719076931
Playing DxM for 1 hr convinced me to refund it and not buy their next game. It was dogshit, it's not defensible even as a troll in AC threads.
>>719076684
Disgusting shill. DxM completely gave up on being mecha and decided to be even more soulsy than AC6. Complete clown devs.

>>719077508
It's going to do way better than the first game. It's already looking like it's going to blow clans out of the water with the demo player numbers. It was a smart move, capitalize on a more open section in the market.
