Thread 724977039

I thought AC6 was supposed to usher in a golden age of mecha games, but it didn't even get an expansion

>>724977039 (OP)
It's a damn shame

AC6 was meh
older AC games are better

>>724977039 (OP)
>but it didn't even get an expansion
Bandai Namco too busy milking fans by making absurdly simple model kits. Maybe when they run out of characters to make kits for they'll reconsider?

Also there's an RPG out there in japanese that has a snowball's chance of ever getting translated, but I would be happy if they did so in order to continue adventures on rubicon, in my very own game.

Sorry kiddo but we play REAL mech games around here.
Nunna that candy ass weeaboo gundam crap!!!

The For Answer/Verdict Day style followup is going to be announced any week now! Trust the plan!

please let that verse die. It was painfully average to shite on the aesthetics scale

>>724977896
Nah Rubicon and the quasi-space opera setting was way more distinct than "Generic Cyberpunk Dystopia #4942" that the previous settings had.

>>724977039 (OP)
The switch from from mech sim to third person action with fighting game mechanics made it stillborn. The expansion would have to basically walk back every new "feature" which would make it basically For Answer 2. But because nips see re-treading previous work as shameful, it will never happen.

Give me ZOE2 speed levels with a incredible fast and deep combat (more Ninja Gaiden less Dark Souls/AC6 melee) or I am not interested.

>>724979018
Stillborn my ass. AC6 sold more than the ENTIRE REST OF THE FRANCHISE COMBINED anon.

>>724979514
ACV does not deserve the sales that it got desu

>>724979514
And yet, more people emulate for answer than bother with 6. You see numbers but are blind to their context. You didn't see all the review copies sent to content creators whose last experience with the franchise was also their first. You're either shilling or stupid.

i rly like how 4 looks. got that idk dreamy demons souls look. the whole game felt like a dream to the very end with the fight against aretha. i love how the thruster boost effects looked in 4.

>>724980127
See related. They got all the babby's first fromsoft players keys for 6. Iron Pineapple got a key and glazed it. It was always just going to be fotm.

>>724980127

>>724980443
it's a single player game dumbass, that's what happens to them once everyone beats them
no, the tacked on online doesn't make it a live service game

>>724977039 (OP)
>AC6 was supposed to usher in a golden age of mecha games
it wasn't a mecha game
it was just third-person action slop, they removed almost all 'mecha' elements from the game by turning it into 'dark souls character with jetpack'
>combat oriented around filling an orange stagger meter, auto-turning lock-ons, all weapons extremely short-range
no weight, no turn speed, no momentum - not an armored core game, not even a good mecha game. you could replace the character model with a standard 6-foot-tall human guy and still have the same sense of scale, because AC6 gutted all feeling of weight from the franchise entirely

thanks, yamamura

>>724977039 (OP)
technically it did, however it only applied to the OST tracks.

memes aside if you havent listened to "Disk 3" go do it, its very good.

>>724980679
>it wasn't a mecha game
>it was just third-person action slop
you do understand that "mecha" isn't a gameplay genre, right?
if it has robots being piloted by humans, it's a mecha game

>>724980768

will you kill yourself when AC6.5 get announced?

>>724980805
>giant multi-hundred ton robot can fly like a jet fighter but needs 3 business days to make a turn
never made sense to me desu

From said it sold beyond their expectations so a new game is probably in the works set to launch a few years from now. It's a shame though, I'm a newfag to the series that only bought because of FromSoft pedigree, but man, I think this game was somehow more kino than their soulslike games. I've never been a mechafag but this game man it just hits different, when it plays Stargazer in the credits after the true ending it felt like I was ascending and would never experience a game like that again.

>>724980679
You're being too harsh. Yes, it's an action mecha game, yes, the stagger bar breaks the weapon meta, but over all it's very well done with an awesome setting and character interactions.

>>724979514
3 Million copies confirmed so far.
https://twitter.com/armoredcore/status/1816473483771072954

I was afraid a follow up was axed given Bamco recent financial misfirings, but it seems it just FromSoft being too much into dark fantasy hardness.

>>724977039 (OP)
People don't like mecha games. It's like arena shooters. Just not likeable.

>>724981089
Don't engage with that retard

>>724980641
People still play for answer online via an emulator.
>All of the same tired hype rhetoric from 3 years ago
Has to be bots or from really paying shills to hype another expansion pack just to fleece the fotm goyim harder. A fool and his money, I suppose.

>>724981089
>You're being too harsh.
>but over all it's very well done
they turned your giant fighting robot franchise into a w+m1 lock-and-strafe simulator with a ~150m combat range with almost zero skill expression

sure yes, all the spectacle and cutscenes and super epic bankai moments were nice but you can only glitter a pig so much

>>724981301
>w+m1 lock-and-strafe simulator
ah, just like how I remember it

>>724978804
Thanks for posting

>>724981392
boost hop and keeping the target in the lock box requires more skill than spamming quickboost while no turn speed + hardlock does all the work

>>724977641
Nah.

>>724979514
>AC V selling that much
no fucking way

I hate this game with a passion. Tried to straddle the old Armored Core and new Dark Souls games in terms of lock on/targeting and boss design and failed miserably. Then removed 90% of the money making and ammo conservation aspects of the old AC games and added a bunch of boss faggotry check point shit.

Don't even respond to my post, the producers already admitted as much in a post-launch interview (in the mercenary money aspect of the game). AC6 sucks and doesn't deserve DLC, stop making threads.

>>724981693
you are genuinely a dumb nigger if you think money mattered at all after gen 1 and maybe lr, just because it is dogshit in 6 doesnt mean it wasnt bad before

>>724981693
you're retarded and don't understand what make ac good in the first place

>>724981693
>failed miserably
every metric, from sales to review scores and fan acclaim, show otherwise
is there room for improvement with awkward systems like stagger and repair kits? yes
is the game good anyway?
yes

>>724977039 (OP)
It needs a difficult expansion. I think people forget that the base games like armored core 2 and 3 were piss easy and you could fumble through them with a spaghetti build. 3 had three expansions before last raven came out and was finally something you could gnash your teeth on. They made a difficult expansion for elden ring more than two years after it came out, I don't see why they couldn't do the same for the best selling AC of all time.

>>724981693
You do have a bit of a point, the economy in AC6 is fucked, by midgame you can just sell everything you own and build any AC with parts you've unlocked. But I guess whatever.

can't wait for AC6.5 to be announced at goty awards like 6 and to release in august 26

>>724982250
There was more nuance in the quick missions of the old AC games than people give credit to.

>the more expensive/better weapons have costlier ammo
>damage to your AC is extremely expensive to repair
>So the worse you do on a mission, the less profit margin you have
>many times on a first playthrough of a mission you've only made enough for about 80% of a new part
>but buying new parts will let you craft a mech specifically for that mission, which will let you farm at a much higher profit margin
>and that's not even getting into free ammo energy weapons

This whole aspect is missing from AC6 and instead you have long missions, complete with ammo resupplies and a boss fight at the end. Literally the opposite of old AC games which had some long missions, but they were sprinkled in.

>>724977039 (OP)
Mech games such

>>724982734
zone of the enders 2 is peak action game, but it's not customization slop so it apparently doesn't count

I agree with anon>>724980805. Way too many tourist bitches needing to project their malformed interpretations of a certain game, genre or franchise. I called out these zoomer tourists for being parasocial and missing the point of a topic of a thread and I was crucified for it. Imagine how many false reports the average zoomer makes because they don’t understand the rules that make up an idea of something. They are baseless, unbased.

I got my normie sister to watch ONE gundam show with me after betting on her who'd win the world series but I'm still heavily debating which one I should pick.
I think she'd like Turn A but I have a feeling the early episodes would filter her.
Otherwise I was thinking
>G
Good fun, great character dynamics, great music. It's genuinely a good time.
>Seed
Honestly I like this a shit ton but I just don't feel comfortable with making someone's first entry to Gundam this. I don't know, even though it's pretty close to 0079, I feel like as an AU it does its own thing way differently than the rest of the AUs.
>0080
A little too short and I want her to watch something longer otherwise this would be perfect. I can probably get her to watch it in the future
>00
Similar reason to SEED except I don't have the autistic love for it.
>X
Even I haven't finished this yet. Not bad but it's on my list.
>Turn A
It's one of my favorite Gundam but again the coming of age stuff might be a bit too much.
>0079
Too depressing, not really a "fun" watch (I mean it is but for a normie it probably wouldn't be).

Why not Wing ?

>>724986535
I don't really like Wing.

>>724985625
If your sister is age 8-18 then Witch from Mercury. If shes 18-29, then SEED. Age 30 and up, Gundam Wing. The rest are meh for newcomers.

>>724977039 (OP)
game is mid bruh

After being all three outcomes, I can safely say this is my favorite Fromsoft game.
But on my first playthrough, I stopped after starting. It didn't click. Then I played a few more missions and was addicted.

The story and characters are so fucking great too.

>>724987061
I don't really like Wing. (I don't know why you'd even recommend this for 30+)
I hate WfM.
I already gave the reason for SEED.

Shiggy.

>>724987335
Chicks will dig Heero since he appeals to girls. Kira is a bit of a crybaby which is a turnoff. I would probably also say 00 is good for women since Setsuna is similar to heero in terms of Chad factor.

cope bro

>>724984838
such AWESOMENESS!

>>724986539
4 you

>>724988183
From gave codes to all of the ER youtubers to hype the "its dark souls with mechs!" narrative. Its was neither dark souls, nor mecha. Even if the robots got estus flasks.

>>724988183
Some people did, and they were swiftly filtered by no I-frames on boost

AC6 scratched my Star Fox itch more than anything else

>>724988504
Star Fox has a better cast. AC6 and other Armored Core games suck at delivering characters and stories. It's in Fromslop's DNA to suck at the one thing to make a game entertaining.

>>724977039 (OP)
I said this in a Uma thread, but to make it short; It's hard to make a mech game because there's so many options to choose from. Hell in the AC community there's divide between oldgen, 4, 5 and now 6 which each one having their own claim to fame
As for 6 not getting an expansion, I guess we'll just have to wait till after duskbloods or whatever that nintendo switch game is

There's like 100 people at most. Come the fuck on, I'm not about to suggest Battlefield 2: Modern Combat for PS2 is alive and well because I emulate and play the online with the 30 people alive who still touch the game.

i just hated how 6 didn't have much replayability once you finish the "3" routes. it sucks too since the weapon balance is so trash, yes you can intentionally gimp yourself, why would you want to? with the stagger gameplay it doesn't even feel good to go grunt suit ak47 build because you're not taking advantage of the core battle system of ac6.

>>724980805
>>724980679
Oh look, this faggot appears in the thread within the hour, every single time an AC thread conveniently turns up.

Almost like he makes the threads just to shit talk AC6 at any given chance.

>>724980018
>And yet, more people emulate for answer than bother with 6
not only is this a completely nonsensical claim, you have literally no basis for it whatsoever beyond "i want it to be true"

>>724990237
I think that we, as a society, should all agree to stop having games that abbreviate to AC.

>>724987737
Don't hurt me.

>>724985625
OG has plenty of fun fluff, yes it gets depressing once they hit Earth and Ryu dies and several enemy forces they meet also meet some tragic ends. Also I hate how SEED ruins its own world, and no I haven't watched the movie yet.

>>724977039 (OP)
Here is a little secret: FROM is one of the few gaming companies that can pull off mecha well. All other companies could not or have a "mecha" but spend 99% on humans.

>>724982918
>>724981693
You know for a fact the money making aspect of previous AC games was poorly balanced shit, don't pretend it wasn't. Unless you knew which super cheap weapon was busted, the early game was a fucking trial and error disaster.

>>724980679
Why don't you just open up threads with this shit and get it over with instead of baiting people into thinking they're gonna have a decent discussion?

>>724990863

Don't even suggest laser weapons early game. Your wheezing generator couldn't power a light bulb.

>>724991364
So it worked the same as before? Just sell them bro

Fuck even old ac had test arenas

>>724991739
Just sell them and buy what?

>Now at 19,800
>The actual super busted early game weapon that breaks the early difficulty over its back costs 45,000
>Can't get it

So, like every other instance in where this happened, you restart the run, you sell your back weapons, and immediately buy 45,000 super broken piece of shit. And then make nothing but raw profits and have your shoulder parts back after two missions.

>>724977039 (OP)

I didn't even finish it. Shit was boring as fuck, I dropped it a couple of missions into chapter 4.

I don't care how pretty the game looks the lore is predictable and the gameplay is by the numbers, it's barely more inventive than Ace Combat

Games with stagger meters deserve to die.
That's it.

>>724993607
god forbid a game encourages and rewards player aggression instead of reactive turtling

>>724992594
Then fuck off to jugglesloppa with human characters. Mecha should be pure shooter kino not this gay Devil May Cryslop or Ninjaslop.

Stagger was always in AC, even if you didn't see it

>>724993690
ok retard go play mechwarrior and enjoy your tanks on legs

>>724979514
Every time you repost this lying reddit graph that puts global sales for one game with incomplete Japanese sales for every other game you deserve to be stabbed.

>>724981613
Putting aside that AC4 was crippled by install base, ACV came out immediately after Dark Souls which should tell you something about ACVI sales, bearing in mind ER sold 10x as much as Dark Souls did.

>>724993940
>Mechwarrior KINO
Thanks I will

The idea of calling AC6 soulsslop is amusing because when the game released there was a wave of fromdrones shitting themselves that it didn't have i frames when quick boosting.

>>724994171
And even more trying to brute force bosses instead of changing their loadouts

XOL literally released yesterday and it's my dream chunky indie space gundam shooter.

There have been more mech games released on steam since AC6 than the ten years preceding it. I am so set.

>>724982250
>by midgame you can just sell everything you own and build any AC with parts you've unlocked
Money has never mattered past the midgame in AC. I finished Nexus recently with enough money to buy almost every single part in the shop.

>>724980018
>And yet, more people emulate for answer than bother with 6.
This has to be bait, no one is stupid enough to believe it.

>>724994271
In fairness you can 100% beat the game with a STEEL HAZE style build of lightweight frame, double guns, melee weapon in the weapon bay, and flex on the right shoulder without much friction.
MIGHTNING here is my default

>>724981752
Money always matters, you just figure out that you can't run twin live ammo MGs in every podunk mission after your first game.

>>724990863
Ah yes the classic "everything but current game sucks, actually"

>>724982456
Wanting only an expansion THREE FUCKING YEARS LATER is the most cucked faggotry I've ever heard. How did we go from From being a company that released 2-4 games a year even in the HD era to "I hope most generous Miyazaki-dono graces us with an asset flip DLC this year"

Not what was stated at all in my post, you disingenuous faggot. I'm rightfully calling out that the past AC games weren't some 10/10 magnum opus like people keep spouting. Not a single game in this franchise is close perfect, yet whenever I mention that, queers like you buckle in the knees and rabidly defend the most asinine mechanics.

>>724994770
You are rightfully a bitch and a nigger

You're an AC6 dick chugger so yes, that does sound like you the man playing the game that you trivialize just by remembering From doesn't know how to balance shotgun impact force.

do you guys get off on being disingenuous or something?

>>724995468
What about that post was even remotely wrong?

>>724995406
Face the music. AC was always a midslop joke of a franchise that warrants no revival of anything. If you want an actual good mech series then look at Zone of Enders which does it 100 times better than any Armored Bored entry.

>>724995421
>You're an AC6 dick chugger so yes, that does sound like you the man playing the game that you trivialize just by remembering From doesn't know how to balance shotgun impact force.
I've played nearly every single AC game, and you appeared to have had an aneurysm mid-post from being so buttblasted. Pure word salad. This is why I can actually point towards problems with past games instead of pretending they were flawless.

>>724995406
Yeah dude, so much worse and less interactive than the player doing vertical circles to disjoint and trivialize every non-AC boss.

I don't trust any older AC fan. You all told me the old games didn't have stagger. I played them, they not only had stagger, it was ten times worse. Fighting Nineball in AC1 was literally "get hit once and you get stagger-locked from 100 to 0."

I thought the whole reason people got into mecha was for the aesthetics and world, which is why people would bash heads together on which series is better.
That and the whole aspect of actually building your robot and customizing it.

>>724995468
We're on a site filled with autists discussing a genre that's infamous for having spergs as it's core audience. You do the math.

>>724995468
disingenuous would imply he's arguing in bad faith I don't see a bad faith post in that.

>>724995624

Dumb nigger. When AC6 had stgger shown all the old fags pointed out that AC ALWAYS had it before sekrio and souls ever did.

Let it die instead of using the name to market something else.
>>724995624
>Muh fuckin' EPIC CHUNGUS BOSSES!
>>724995759
That's the point. They completely changed the series. Not the speed or level of customization as with 4/5, but the core gameplay concepts and mechanics.

>>724995854
>When AC6 had stgger shown all the old fags pointed out that AC ALWAYS had it before sekrio and souls ever did.
I saw maybe one person claim the old games had stagger, and every other supposed oldfag claimed he was a retard talking shit to defend AC6. Not helping the case that oldfag AC players are liars.

>>724995865
>That's the point. They completely changed the series.
Nobody tell this faggot about AC4 and ACV.

>>724995996
Can you name me a single AC game prior to VI with decoupled camera and instant turning?

How the FUCK do I do this mission and get the combat log without running out of ammo?

>>724996054
Can you name a single AC prior to 4 that gave every single AC quick turn by default? And an energy bar that's basically impossible to deplete without building the worst AC on purpose?

Also, this talk of "lack of momentum" in 6 earlier in the thread is fucking comical when this has never been a thing in AC. If you're mid-flight, and let go of both the booster and the left stick, your AC will drop straight down to the fucking floor. There are no momentum mechanics in AC. Your states of speed are fixed, they do not compound, they do not add up, they are not affected by terrain etc.

>>724980094
true, but at least they tried making them into big bulky heavy machines over smooth gundams

>>724996113
I've d9ne that mission with 4 points of OS tuning.
Use the Etsujins, they have absurd amounts of ammo

>>724996198
Literally anything in third gen with picrel.
Who the fuck are you talking to about momentum you schizo?

>>724995865
Isn't changing core gameplay concepts and mechanics fine if heavy emphasis is placed on building the mech in the first place? I always figured the high difficulty and having to often readjust, rebuild, and upgade your mech to handle each situation was well within the spirit of the mecha genre, as well as Armored Core.

>>724996578
>Can you name a single AC prior to 4 that gave every single AC quick turn by default?
>By default
You stupid fucking nigger, you posted a part that takes up a shoulder slot. You are sacrificng firepower or defense in order to be able to quick turn. That is not default, that is a trade. Every single AC in 4 and FA can quick turn as a base mechanic, you do not lose anything in exchange for the ability.

>>724996198

Your bait sucks, take it back.

>>724996763
>Not a single part of the video shows actual compounding momentum
Incredible, I swear the more I interact with you fuckers, the more I'm convinced you're ChatGPT bots who don't understand nuance the size of a canyon. Everything show in the video, even the advanced mechanics, are just slowing the rate at which your speed returns to normal. Notice he can't actually continually pile speed up and up, and go faster than faster, because the game doesn't actually fucking have momentum mechanics. Tribes is what momentum mechanics actually look like. You use the mechanics to innately go faster, not to fight to stay above base speed for 2-3 seconds.

I bet you can't even name the song used in the video, because you're a fucking fake fan.

>>724996675
AC6 has one of the lowest part counts in the series along with AC4. AC4 was easy enough that you could make just about every combination work, but AC6 doesn't manage to do the same with the extra restrictions on core and generator parts. That would actually be an argument in favor of AC6 if only it actually got an expansion with a ton of extre parts like all the other titles got but it hasn't, so you're left with a lot of wasted potential. Otherwise that's something i'd actually like from the new game, but I still think ACV/VD were maybe more restrictive in that sense.

>>724994271
>And even more trying to brute force bosses instead of changing their loadouts
I mean if you changed your loadouts you could brute force bosses no need to doge or anything you could kill them in seconds with the right weapons, it was stupidly easy if you went all in on the heaviest weapons

I wish we got even just a small multiplayer update.
>Can team up with 2 other players online to run missions (scaled appropriately).
>Can get invaded by PCs (enemy ACs dropping in would be kino, add new layers to missions).
>3v3 or 5v5 Team Deathmatch on existing mission maps.
That'd give the game some long-lasting legs, but alas, Michael-Zaki has abandoned us.
>I'm still hoping their new project, FMC, is AC6.5.

>>724997092
It's all or nothing on the TGAs now. If AC6 is getting an expansion, this is the final curtain call on the game.

Is Iron Blooded Orphans a good jumping in point to watching gundam?

>>724998353
it's fine. it's not a sequel to anything.

>>724996972
maybe you should ask chat gpt what air friction is

>>724998468
I really like the OST of it. I use it in my pathfinder game

>>724998353
Yes and also because the Gundam shows that came out after it are so, SO BAD. I'm surprised that Gundam could get so awfil and lesbian coded that we would look back on IBO as a classic. My days of shitting on SeeD are officially over.

>>724996054
SPEEN

>>724998353
yes but keep in mind s2 has incredibly shit writing

>>724998581
Shifting the goalposts I see. No AC game has "wind resistance" just like no AC has momentum mechanics. Fucking with inputs so your speed doesn't forcefully degrade back to X fixed speed state is not momentum, that's just an exploit.

If AC had momentum mechanics, and in this case, your non-existent air drag mechanics, and I let go of all inputs mid-flight. The AC's speed would degrade in an arc relative to height and speed. Instead forming a half-crescent. Instead, the AC comes to an instant near-stop before just falling straight downward, because the game doesn't carry momentum, the speed is fixed for each state. No forward input = no forward movement. They're both fixed at the hip.

>>724999128
>The AC's speed would degrade in an arc relative to height and speed, forming a half-crescent.
Half-deleted a sentence and didn't realize.

Did you guys try the demo for this? It was so awful I turned it off within 15 mins. And they want to sell it for $70

>>724999117
S2 allowed the writer to kill the kids when she wanted to do it at the end of S1 but was told to fuck off, it's selling and reviewing better than they thought.

>>724980094
In their defense, the plagiarism was on accident.

>no fps Armored Core
If they can implement fps into their dungeon crawling series why not their mecha goose?

Do AC6 haters actually fucking believe that AC6 didn't sell well compared to the other AC games?

>>725000126
It didn't.

>>725000120
AC3 and SL have FPS modes.

>>725000126
They think it sold poorly (while outselling the literal entire franchise), was poorly received (highest rated AC title by every metric) and is hated in general by the community (none of them play AC so they don't engage with 4A/VD netplay in any capacity). It's really just masturbatory hate posting with no goal or direction beyond disrupting discussion. You know the same low-IQ talking points that have been beaten up for entire years now, just hide them and ignore them.

>>725000126
You're actually delusional if you think AC6 wasn't the most sold AC game. None of my friends bought ACV or the games before that yet they bought AC6. I can get hating AC6 for gameplay or narrative or whatever, but being so "OLD GOOD NEW BAD" that you close your eyes and delude yourself into thinking that AC6 didn't sell in terms of the other games is crazy.

Ace combat is better anyways and even then that's mogged by PW.

>>724977039 (OP)
It was a complete game, DLC not necessary.

>>725000613
Sorry sweaty, but War Thunder beats them all.

Plenty are coming.

>>725001789
Okay, then post nine more.

>>724996472
Dual ETSUJINs and dual ORBTs worked! Thanks.

>>724977039 (OP)
It was a brain-dead slopgame with some LE EPIC anime moments. It didn't catch on because it wasn't good.

>>725002036
Okay timmy, it's time for bed

incredible how good games mindbreak autists into seething uncontrollably for years

this thread is damn miserable
we really don't deserve From

my fav mech game.
I wish for sequel or better yet dlc.

>>724977039 (OP)
Armored core
Extraction looter
Make it happen Michaelzaki

>>725005590
To be fair, they released this banger and then went radio silent on anything like a For Answer or Verdict Day expansion.
Hype must be maintained and cultivated.
They're doing the same shit with Night Reign, except in that case we know it's getting a DLC "sometime", and we have no idea what's going to be in it (except for dataminers who figured out a few details from in-game files).
I really enjoy Fromsoft games, but they can't market like the yanks can.

>>725005765
They already had a mecha extraction shooter. It was not very good; it's already dead I believe.
No thank you.

>>724998823
nah fuck that seed is still trash

Ac6 isn't even an armored core game. It's a souls like in a trenchcoat.

>>725000126
/v/ in particular has this retarded cavalcade of contrarians regarding AC6. The /acg/ thread on /m/ is like 80% AC6 posting.

>>724997590
In first play you can't. The weapon you can buy and unlocked still limited.

>>724999564
first one was bootleg as fuck, didn't really have hope for a sequel

>>725000126
The thing is, people who enjoy AC6 make their whole “being good at niche games” argument invalid, because the truth is, anyone who spends some time with any Armored Core game can master it.
I just think it’s pathetic to make a Discord server solely to start a hate thread on /v/.

DUCKETT GANG

>>725007581
I was maybe being a little dramatic. Out of boredom I gave the demo a second try since I made that post an hour ago. Game is running much, much better then it was the day the demo came out. Must've been a bug because it was 25 fps choppy like the Switch version of the first game. The combat feels a little shallow but i'm liking the other stuff.

>AC6
>generation without expansion
It's total owari da. We will never get ultimate AC6 experience with more refined mechanics and pvp kino

>people still think 6 won't get DLC
What kind of shit posting is this?

>>724999564
It's definitely not worth 70$ and sure as fuck not worth 50$
It's basically if the first game was basically Xenoblade Chronicles but even that doesn't save it in the long run.

>>724979514
Kinda funny how 2, 3 and V were the best sellers (before 6), despite them being not that well regarded by AC fans.

>>724995865
>but the core gameplay concepts and mechanics.
Nice fucking cope

>>725008357
>despite them being not that well regarded by AC fans.
How can people not like 3? 2 I can understand, and V is really only carried by it's Multiplayer

>>725008184
You're being too fucking optimistic.
It's been 2 fucking years. Elden Ring got their dlc AND a fucking neightrain sooner than this.

>>725008490
And that's a problem why? Rome was not built in a day

>>725008592
the problem is that there's no guarantee there will be any expansion or 6.5 at all. Fuck you

>>724977039 (OP)
Dolls Nest was a better AC than AC6. Objectively.

>>725008714
It really isn't

>>725008429
Well it's more like people always talk fondly of SL while 3 is mostly relegated to "it's alright" or barely remembered category. Not saying it's bad, personally.

>>724977449
no they're not save for AC4A, the original games were fucking ass in comparison, but for the time were amazing.

>>725008357
V's sales were hard carried by 4 and 4A's reputation. It then trashed it hence why VD barely sold and the franchise proceeded to be dead for a decade.

>>724977798
it honestly seemed like they were going to go the nightreign route, and create an AC Co-Op rogue-lite.

>>725008830
It was literally just demons souls and if AC6 was more like it all you niggas would be crying it was armored souls. I mean you do, but you'd do it in that case too.
>>725008895
Kind of inevitable that good expansions still get played less than the base game. Also time has turned positive for SL and even Nexus because they unfucked the control scheme. No one here cries about that getting changed though lol
>>725008998
The DMC2 effect.

>>725008830
It was good, but the final area was kinda lame and felt barebones. Especially after kino that was Tomb of Divine Wisdom.

AC6 DLC is being announced at the VGAs, I was told in a dream.

>>724985625
iron blooded orphans, or 0079. you can alternatively show her the shining gundam anime. everything else is faggot shit.

>>725009054
It was armored souls but taking the good parts of the series, as opposed to AC6's taking the retarded parts of it.
>>725009069
I can agree with that.

>>725005765
It can't really be done without begging the question as to why you can't have (looted item) from normal gameplay. However I used to talk about this as an idea among my personal circle.
>Armored Core X.5
>Standard X-Generation parts, huge pool of additional parts, and "retooled" plus and minus variants of the normal part spread as per normal
>Side mode exists
>Starts you out in one of a small pool of dog-ass terrible MTs
>Generates random missions (could be a big Extraction Shooter map too)
>Each mission clear gives you money for that mode, parts or emblems or some kind of little reward nugget based on your hired contract, and some kind of factional reputation boost
>Raising your rep gives you more complex missions with more strict mission rewards, and higher-tiet missions will also either throw you against randomly generated/stock corporate/minigame named enemy pilots, who grow more optimized, numerous, and advanced as the missions get higher in focus, sometimes even "invading" in areas with less-stable recon and comes
>Different advanced missions will give you access to not only Gen-X/X.5 AC parts, but will also give you retooled previous gen parts exclusive to the mode
>Players who pick the same mission will wind up queued into the same lobby, and can choose if they want to just finish the job and go, or kill an enemy pilot as a "Bonus" objective
Always seemed like it'd be a fun little distraction

>>725007718
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition!

>>725009319
>It was armored souls
Yeah that's what I said.

>>724993690
>mecha should be pure shooter
But it never was? Mecha is whatever it wants to be. Some are basically tanks that look like humans, others super hero suits
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgAazreoQqA

>>724993690
I don't know if there's a single popular mecha/mech setting without any melee.

>>725010739
Yeah, and I was agreeing.

>>725011215
Battletech technically has melee but it never makes it into the games and the games are far and away the most popular part.

>>725011320
MW5 has melee.

>>725008490
>>725008184
Again, the TGAs are the final hope for an AC6 expansion announcement. The argument is AC6 took the longest to make by far of any AC game, its full-time development begins at roughly 2018, and came out in 2023. It stands to a reason an expansion would take longer than past games. From also has a lovey dovey relationship with Geoff, all their shit gets announced at his events.

If there's nothing announced at the TGAs this year, then I'll give up hope proper.

i like mech :3c

>>724977039 (OP)
Anons might hate me for suggesting this idea, but AC6 sort of convinced me that current FROM can nail it if they ever decide to make an AC Spin-off or just a new IP that let's you play as something similar to Iron-Man but customizable, I suggested an AC spin-off first mainly because the backdrop of mega-structures is quite unique and great, moreover you can add human+monster enemies to the mix, not to mention its normal fag friendly.
