It changes depending on what "era" the game is from

Miayazakis worst game.

>>377328958
I hope that rumor of AC6 is true.

>>377329689
that doesn't answer me anything

>>377329531
economics?

>>377328958
The game drooped to 7 fps on consoles.
The game has less story than even Dark souls.
Souls intro animation has more story than one AC game.

And game play is not comparable to souls games its entirely different genres.

I acualy played and beat the games last weak.

that's the "good story"?

>>377329313
Aren't they making one right now?

>>377330592
Yes.

>>377330592
Depending on the game, there's a little more to it than that. But yeah that's the basic gist.

Especially the "don't ask questions"
part

>>377328958
Will this ever get ported to PC or at least Ps4? cause holy fuck the frame drops on Ps3 are atrocious.

...certainly not Armored Core 4.

In some of them you can piece together something but alas you're a mercenary, you get hired to go there and blow shit up, you are not "the chosen one" going on a epic story to do whatever, no, at the end of the day you're just another hired gun doing contracts for this or that megacorp

>>377330072
AC 1,PP, MoA, 2, AA are all in the same setting, AC 1 - MoA is about takeng down 2 corporations and getting revenge on the elusive nineball, PP also has you stop a terrorist who has stolen an advanced superweapon.

AC2 is about a race to colonize mars and the fight against a rebel group known as the Frigntners who have somehow taken over the power of ancient martian technology

AA is the aftermath and has no real story

3, SL, NX, NB, LR is in a different setting which is loosely linked to the first but is left ambiguous, the story in these games are about retaking the surface world (a concept that was briefly touched on in the first game) and the war that ensues

AC4, 4A is another reset and seems to hint at taking place before the events of AC3 or AC1 during "The Great War" causing the surface to become uninhabitable

>>377331368
Usually, by the end, you might as well be "the chosen one". It's almost like the Ace Combat games, where you reach the chosen one status by your accomplishments rather than be preordained.

>>377331523
Last Raven and For Answer did that kind of story the best.

>>377331523
Sure, you get hired to do the big thing at the end, but only because you're the only guy crazy enough to accept the contract.
The story though remains mostly segregated from the player, you can get bits and pieces but there is no big codex of lore or MGS level of coded talks to explain every single little thing about what's going on

In Ace Combat you are more central to the story than in Armored Core.
Between cutscenes, briefings, debriefings, combat chatter, etc, etc you get the whole story of the conflict before your eyes and ears, in Armored Core you get no debriefing, very little to no cutscenes, briefings that pretty much are "go here, kill thing, collect payment" and the operator's talk is quite dry and strictly professional.

This is actually false though, how many and what AC games have you played?

>>377332284
1, Project Phantasma, Master of the arena, 2, 4A, V, VD

>tfw the next AC will be a souls game with a mecha skin.

You're describing AC4 against Dark Souls, when you should be comparing AC4 to Bloodborne, considering the Soulsborne series is just fantasy AC, to the individual games.

>>377333194
Don´t be so pessimistic, anon. The next AC game is going to get an overhaul, no doubt, but it´ll be in the vein of the transition the King´s Field series got to the Souls series rather than being a copy of the Souls gameplay.

<Sure, you get hired to do the big thing at the end, but only because you're the only guy crazy enough to accept the contract.
Up until late game stuff where you've personally angered this antagonist, your operator and/or corporate entities personally hire you to continue since you've torn your path through everything so far, and/or you're the only viable individual either still alive or proven enough to handle what's next.

If you don't just piss everyone off and have them try to murder you instead.

But why? How can you possibly enjoy the ACV gameplay?

It's infinitely more intricate than any other in the franchise. There's so many nuances to it that it's insane, and it's really hard to go back after getting acclimated to actually being good at ACV/D.

>Learning that you can negate boost, still high-boost towards the ground to not lose momentum, and jump off the ground to quickly gain aerial coverage
>Learning the breakpoints for a variety of weapons and how OP many basic weapons (like shotguns) are, even with the armor system
>Learning precisely what Blue-Targeting and wiggle-boosting can do for you
>4v4's with the most intense conditions possible
>Adequate cover and scan mode
It's just superior to the rest. Learn to be better and you'll see yourself.

What are you on about? Nobody in this thread has said anything bad about Last Raven or Silent Line.

No game's difficulty shift has ever hit me as hard as Last Raven's jumping from Nexus. Holy shit was that a shock to the system.

They're the only AC game I never want to return to. Constantly switching between scan mode and battle mode, slow as mollases ground movement while walljumping being the only real viable movement type, dull enemy types that are not fun to battle, FPS hangs somewhere around 15-20. Fights against other armored cores was fun and pretty strategic, but they were just too few.

>>377334892
I will never defend ACV outside of the most godly superbosses in the franchise, I'm only speaking for ACVD. Energy Management is far, FAR less punishing in VD, and you can actually fight like it's a fun game. The walljumping is still there, but honestly, there are immensely more AC battles, and the weapons are better all-around. ACV is just bad.

Also, the only AC title with efficient ground movement is ACFA, because all of the past ones punished constant boosting way too much.

If you're on the ground in FA, you're doing it wrong and are liable to get bodied by Saplas.

Sure, if AC2 was also fast for you, definitely. Otherwise, no. Try Last Raven or 4A if you want fast.

>>377329313
>there will never ever be chromehounds 2
How fucking horrible. There's MAV on PC but it's only by one guy so development is slow and optimization is shit.
