Armored Core Last Raven Is Best Edition. /acg/

>>128654165
>pic

I feel that AC is like a work of art made mobile, it won't last long on a battle.

>>128654521
I feel like it's a interpretation of ARETHA if it was in Last Raven.

>Page 10
So, when's Armored Core for the PS4 / Xbox One?

>>128654521
I feel is more the AALIYAH, since the ARETHA have gigantic shoulders and core.

>>128662737
I take back what i said, i think it actually looks like the prototype next from AC4 in Last Raven.

>>128662847
Oh yeah those, I tend to forget those exist.

hi thred
>>128657023
dark souls 3 is releasing
FROM has nothing else announced, if i'm not mistaken
we know that they generally work on 2 or 3 big projects at once
one is currently rumoured to be another sony-backed RPG. maybe new miyazaki IP, maybe not. PS4 exclusive probably (or definitely if it does turn out to be another sony partnership)
but i have to assume from is also working on - or at least in the planning stages of - another game. i really wish they'd make another armored core, but i'm just not so sure it's happening at this point. miyazaki has led a lot of us to believe that the franchise is being held hostage by bamco, which is not difficult to believe.
of course there is always the possibility of a new mecha game/AC spinoff like chromehounds or MWC, but i don't see them going that route. nobody paid attention to the last steel battalion game, but i believe that's because of kinect - and now, of course, today it simply exists as yet another reason as to why "mecha games don't sell" and not "a game ruined by shitty gimmicks". so because of this i believe that if from wants to do another mecha game it has to be AC
if from DOES want to make AC6 eventually, i predict that it will have to be BIG. like dark souls big. miyazaki-helmed, significant marketing, maybe a little sony cash. i'm talking A-team. AC, at this point in time, does not need a sequel it needs a resurrection.
like a phoenix.

>>128665517
I want to belive, I really want.

>>128668252
why don't i rant some more while folks mosey on into the thread
OK so AC7 (ace combat) was announced by bamco, this is following ACI which for the very few of you that don't know is a F2P game which limits the amount of sorties you can go on in a specific period of time unless you pay real dollarz$$ for fuel units.
AC, similar to our AC (but not THAT AC), is kind of a niche series so while it took a while for everyone to get over the fact that ACI was F2P, i think ultimately people were happy to be getting a new game. and now, we have a strangereal sequel on the way! everything kinda sorta works out, right?
i would not be surprised if bamco wanted to attempt to do the same thing with our AC, but from was like nah. and then bamco was like, "well we have publishing rights for the next X number of games you develop, so if you really want to make your silly little robot games, then you'll do it by OUR RULES"
by the way in this scenario bamco is personified as a skinny, balding, middle-aged man with glasses that you can't see through because they're always reflecting some massive amount of nonexistent light (you know what i'm talking about), sitting in a dark, lifeless office
and FROM is an impossibly handsome, extremely dignified motherfucker whose dream it is to just make robots fight each other. nothing more, nothing less
defeated, he solemnly exits bamco's office, his brow SO GODDAMN FURROWED he could kill a small animal just by looking at it. he gets into his car, and his expression changes to sadness. a single tear drips down his face as he buries his head into his arms resting on the steering wheel
suddenly, the car begins to fill up with copies of ace combat: assault horizon. the doors lock, there is no where left to run. more copies of ace combat: assault horizon fill the car.
just then, bamco appears cracking a half-smile, and utters into from software's ears "all you had to do was make metal bleed"
from software then drowns in despair
the end

>>128668850
>reflecting some massive amount of nonexistent light

I know what are you talking about, when I was in school a teacher had those kind of glasses and nobody ever knew where he was looking at, so nobody ever tried to do something stupid on his presence because nobody knew is he was looking at you acting suspicious or to other kids.

It's a PSvita exclusive but only in JP

Any of you guys read Homestuck? It's finally ending after all these years. it's so epic.

>>128725532
Might not be a bad guess, actually. I'm guessing my prerelease will be done somewhere around 4 or 5 Central, I'll drive through something and come back to host.

Dude that is silly. Mechs are not a niche. Heinlein came up with the concept, Japan really clung to it. Battletech made it big in the 80's. Hell even first person shooters like TitanFall and the old COD studio they were working for are picking up the concept of powered armor. It was in GI Joe, Aliens, Metal Gear Solid. It's in pop culture all over the place.
Personally I stopped playing after Silent Line, by the time I was interested in playing AC again it moved on to a different format where it's basically a MMO focus instead of cyberpunk mercenary solo campaign. The controller AI story arc would of made for some sick game play ideas like the AI building robotic factories making random missions of automated MT's showing up at a corporation, or getting paid to clear a manufacturing facility. The ancient martian robot designs showing up and super high end AI tech was alright and all but they could of went with a much different open ended mercenary contract system instead of turning it into a PVP centric game those always lose a lot of players after the first month and your lucky to get a match when a lot of the time multiplayer isn't as fun but there is nothing else to do so if you want to play it basically has to be pvp and then the servers get shut down because of either lack of interest from player or the company just doesn't want it anymore.

>>128677902

>>128791192

Titanfall and COD completely missed the point of mechs, as did Xenoblade and to an extent EDF.

They made them a side thing, a powerup, an accessory, a disgusting abomination upon the genre. Instead, they should've been center stage, the stars. But no, developers don't grasp that simple concept.

>>128810264
here your moe.

>>128818130
This.

When looking for a mecha game, I want them to be central part of the action, to show the glory of gigant, usually humanoid, piece of metal betting the crap out of usually other piece of metal; instead mechas are usually used like a nice power up or as part of just ONE character desing and motif (like in fighting games)

>>128818130
Mechs should not having been center stage in fucking EDF, get the fuck outta here.

>>128822807

This guy gets it. I know that some kinda audience gets a kick for these things, but I don't go into a robot game to ogle some awkward japanese man's attempt at sex fanservice. I also don't go into a mech game to just play another war shooter.

I'd like some big honking machines slamming into eachother in a completely non-robosexual fashion. The bigger the guns, the better. If it has to have melee weapons, make them semi-functional, like a pile driver, a drilling weapon, a laser blade, something an actual machine would use. Not some gayass sword like a final fantasy protagonist.

The hardware, the weapons, the aesthetic, the missions, the enemy robots, etc. They all give life to the genre. The story is meh and can be left to the basics. I mean honestly, all "deepest lore" memes aside, does anyone care about Armored Core's story?

>>128825592

Maybe a bad example, but you get my point.

>>128825681
>does anyone care about Armored Core's story?

Me, while minimalistic I usually enjoy the story.

>>128826224

Wouldn't you say that the minimalism adds to the charm? If the game had a voiced protagonist, and they constantly told you what they were feeling, would it ha the same impact as a silent protag, who lets you do the emotions without being emotionally held by your hand?

I don't know, I just don't like these modern games and their boner over story and cinematics.

>>128836901
>game is railroaded
You mean versus how they were making it sound like it'd be a lot more open world? idk, since LttP they're all vaguely railroaded (go do this dungeon, do this event, go over there, do the next dungeon), I think I'll survive.

>>128839431
I'll see if I'm around for that time, though I'm not usually available during day times.

I'm on a new PSN tag now: KhorneBred. But I've really missed you guys and want to play again. If I don't make it for this Sunday that just gives me more time for builds, I forgot what I even made for FA but I know it's not a lot. I'll be ready next week if you guys do it again.

Ye, sorry about that. I had problems wiht my PS3. you can thnak sony for me.

I just started emulating Last Raven as my first game in the series.

I'm still in the early game and am preparing for my first conflict with an armored core in the mission line. trouble is I'm not that good. I tried practicing against the training AC but I get my ass handed to me every time. I just cant dodge shots well.

I managed to take out the first AC on the virtual arena but on subsequent tries it seems like my first attempt was just luck. I'm using type A controls. Are there any tips for movement for a new player like me? Or any resources?

Which is the first hardest then?

>>128954359
Now being serious, I suggest you to go for the route with less AC fights first you can, you will get money get to know the game and expiriment with builds, if you get stuck then reset the game and do it again if you think you need better parts, if you feel you can go against AC enemies then do it, you will learn a couple of things no matter what the result.

>>128955145
>>128982817
See thats the thing. I picked up a guide and was told that the first route one migjt want to try wad the one with the least AC opponents. And so I did. But the fourth mission in that line has an AC to fight. I cant avoid it. Its not like Im not enjoying the game. Its justthat I feel like Im not keeping up and dont yet have a grasp on how to dodge lock ons and counterpick my opponents mechs. But man it feels good to move in that game

But if there is a more newbie friendly game please tell me. Im open to suggestions.

>>128987646
Do you know what AC you are figthing?

if you want to try another AC first then 3 is a good point I think.

Dumb question here. I see the original AC for download on PS One Classics but only the first game is listed. When I look up on the wiki it says that all 3 of the original PS1 games got released to PSN.

Is this a bundle or am I fucked because of region? USA

>>128989673

As far as I know, all other regions only get the original.
>>128987646
I'd say start with 2 and work your way up, but Nexus will get you back to Last Raven sooner.

Vigilance

Thats the AC I need to beat.

>>128998330
The large missle arms are really good at fighting AC's.

Knights of Sidonia is a really good mech anime and everyone should watch it.

I completely disagree and think your are spreading false advice.

If you want really good mech anime go watch Votoms or Gunbuster.

>>129005431
Yeah, my buddy and his wife watched it and they seemed to like it. Maybe after I watch Mobile Suit Gundam.
>>128998330
All right, I'm gonna break your heart. Ready?
That's one of the easiest ACs to fight in the game.
No, this isn't some kind of git gud derivative, I'm being serious. Triturate is pretty easy even though he has the potential to stunlock you. He is one of, like, four pilots in the entire game that doesn't have access to what is essentially cheating. You'll probably come back and beat him no sweat after you've played some of the other games and have some experience.

>>128998330
He is kinda easy (for Last Raven) if I remember correctly my fights with him, missiles and bazookas are good.

>>129008639

Who are the other three?

>>129020804
Good question. My memory's a bit hazy and I didn't bring my PS2 with me.
I think one of them is either Vola Volant or Wanton Busker.
The bottom guy in the arena is one of them, I'm sure.
I think there's another in the lower ranks of the arena. There might even be more and I've just forgotten, but there definitely aren't many.

>>129021843
Interesting

man where are the cores around here
i see no cores
no wait
ok they're there
they're just
just like
kind these
like
armored cores
the cores are armored
right??

>>129029921
If you can't see them, they're obviously Hidden Cores

While I'm waiting for armored core 2 to arrive I want to talk about what goes through you guy's heads when you are putting together an armored core.

I'm new to the series and I wanted to get a grasp of the sort of theory of designing mechs. To my understanding mobility comes first. And AP is second.

By the by are there any general resources out there for the AC series? FAQ sites dont really talk about properly building mechs, just giving out configurations you should use rather than explaining the general guidelines behind what makes a good configuration and what makes a bad one. Or how to better take advantage of the mechanics.

Whatever you think you need to do what you need done.
Mobility isn't so much always a necessity, it's just that there are some builds where you need to be as fast as possible and others where you can afford to cut some speed. Turning is always important, though. Never get the legs with the lowest turning.

But yeah, figure out the weapons you think will best suit whatever you're trying to do and set up everything else around it. If you're trying to Macross somebody to death, then bring relation missiles, an FCS with good missile locking, and probably something rather speedy so you can fire from where you need to. If you need the damages, a heavy duty back weapon (especially the double back weapons) and some tank or quad legs along with some bulk to sustain the hits you're going to take.

There's not really a set-in-stone process, you just figure out what you think will work best and build accordingly.

>>129031712
it generally varies from game to game
personally, pre-4 era, i would try to build a solid all-around frame with decent speed and small(er) weapons with enough weight left over to swap out any parts/weapons for mission-specific purposes, and try to get through the game using that, gradually swapping frame parts once clear upgrades were unlocked
what makes AC so cool is that the way you build your AC literally dictates how you experience the game. although at first it seems like everything is just numbers/stats, it's better to check any RPG mentality you had at the door (more of this = BETTER!!)\
like if you swap a part and your speed goes up, yeah sure it technically means YOUR FASTER but it doesn't mean anything in practice if you still aren't fast enough to dodge the things that will wreck you. basically, have a GOAL in mind when you design an AC.
the games' enemies (especially pre-4) are particularly finicky when it comes to how to deal with them. i mean, yeah, it's mostly shoot at it until it dies, sure, but depending on your speed/weaponry you're gonna wanna consider things like cover, pop-shots, long range assault while strafe-dodging enemy fire, going in at max speed trying to dodge everything, going in with high armor & tanking shots while attempting to output a higher level of firepower than your enemies... you see what i'm getting at
all of these options become more or less viable depending on how your AC is assembled. some missions are geared towards certain styles of play. ultimately, the choices are up to you not only when it comes to how you design your AC but also how you choose to use it. thing is you have to be able to step back and say "OK this isn't working" and switch up from time-to-time. i'm actually terrible at this. usually when i lose a mission over and over again, the "easy win" strat becomes clear but i'm stubborn and prefer to git gudder with what i already have. after all, it's what happens in chinese cartoons

>>129031712
This actually depends on the person, the way you build your AC is directly related to your own playstyle, me for example, on the classics I tend to favor for a middle weight with all round stats, sometimes with extra firepower as possible, some missions can force you to change your build because of some extreme circunstances (mission over water favor hover legs a lot) but sometimes this can make fall on a comfort zone, where even when you can see what type of build could be better for that mission that you are stuck, you won't change it because you want to win using your build (pride before reason).
, this will make the expirience of winning even better.

It was the only thing available on the PSN I think

>>129121717
Yeah, I can't think of anything. Haven't played in MoA in quite a while and got wrecked on Sunday, which made me notice that all my builds were made with single player in mind. Like for example, grenade launchers are pretty useless in MP

>>129122116
I think there's a tutorial mission somewhere, that's a good place to start.
Defense system works like such:
If the incoming bullet's attack rating exceeds the defense rating of the relevant type, you deal effective damage. This is how you hurt things.
If the incoming bullet's attack rating is lower than the relevant defense rating, the shot plinks off, you get the ineffective notification, and the shot deals...what was it, 20% of the damage it was supposed to?
You really move by jumping off of surfaces.

Hi, i never ever touched a title from this series. From wich should i start? Any beginners tips you would personally recommend?

>>129131162
2 is a good place to start. Or Nexus if you don't want to deal with the awful controls. However, it's a lot easier to go from bad to the good than it is to go from good to bad.
Play around with different leg types and see which you're the most comfortable with. Don't get super focused on them, though, because sometimes you need to completely change things up to get through a mission. And get in the habit of good energy management real quick.

>>129132026
Thank you for the good tips,man. Last thing , what is the best title of the brand, iyho?

>>129133674
Last Raven.
You're not ready for it yet. Scroll up a bit and you'll see someone who made the mistake of starting with Last Raven and several of us persuading him to start with a different game in the series.

>>129134634
Thank you, i won’t. Good night!
