I wanna play through the ACs again, how do the PS1 and PS2 era ones emulate? I sold my PS2 ages ago. What about the PSP re-releases?

>>142488329
Not sure about Armored Core, but I think we have some experienced emulators over at Ace Combat General.

Eh, I was asking more about if the Armored Core games have any problems being emulated, like the, coincidentally, Ace Combat series. I've got a hankering to replay 2/SL and give the 3->LR line a go.

>tfw don't own a console with 4/LA/VD

>>142491442
I could never emulate 3rd gen very well.

>>142488329
As far as I can tell, the PS1 games emulate just fine.
I think Nexus works okay, but I don't know about any of the other PS2 games.
Last Raven emulates well, there are people playing against each other on it through PPSSPP.

Thank god for the shitposting/bumping. The thread just fucking dies in my time zone and when I did post 3DPG, it never bumped (dunno why, probably because tits).

Ranker, the /acg ranking was in an old thread. Probably find it on one of the archives. You'll know it's me if the attached image is called image.jpg and the metadata of said image.

Bump brought to you by GA America.

>>142486454
More often than a new player attempting Occupation of Arteria Carpals.

>>142505738
Yup. Gotta agree with that sentiment

So what AC game is most similar to something like Ace Combat, where you fight squadrons (for lack of a better word) of elite enemies instead of supermechs as boss battles?

>>142507308
Probably the V era games? You rarely get any allies helping you (unless you count UNACs in VD), but you do fight multiple enemy ACs pretty often. There's also the fact that the V era games have some of the most dangerous grunt enemies in modern AC games, so even when you're fighting mooks you have to be kind of careful. Of course, there's still the super powered boss battles all over the place so it doesn't really count. I don't know much about Ace Combat but I don't think the two series can compare that well.

>>142507308
LR mainly is 1vs1 fights, after that followed by another 1vs1 sometimes.

I wil say VD since there is a lot of AC fights and most of them are 1vs2.

FA is close to the squadron fight in all endings.

>>142507308
The multiplayer component of V and Verdict Day, though V's servers are down.

>>142507308
AC 4A, 5 and VD.

You'll enjoy the missions in those games. ACFA has the best laid out story and the servers are still up, V has 1v2 galore and can port your save into VD. VD has literally loads of missions, again lots of 1v2 and servers still up.

Anyone ever try doing a full playthrough using only one company's parts? I was thinking of trying a GA run in For Answer to see if I can beat it without going fast. Anyone ever try something like this?

>>142513113
I once did a Stinger run of Nexus. All the frame parts and weapons are Mirage, so I chose a Mirage generator and radiator then went to town.
It was pretty awful. No AMS, the Dragon is garbage, the blade hits decently hard but has a long reload time, and you have no AP. I had to switch the Dragon for a plasma rifle in order to have the damage necessary to finish the game.

Watched some footage of AC Nexus, is it just me or did they beef up the sound effects and pretty much everything as the games released?

Also, saw the carnage known as the Finger. Rinsed through ammo but was brutal to the enemy AC.

>>142546763
That's an awesome pic. Marv, ANNR and the shoulder mounted PS3.

Aesthetic-wise and purpose-wise, one of the cover ACs from Armored Core 2. Not the blue guy with the sawa, but the guy he fights against. He's got such a boxy robot look. I love a little bulk on my robots, and I'm not too fond of the sleek and sharp fellas.

I'm going to do a playthrough of AC3, Silent Line, and Last Raven. Any suggestions for PSP emulators?

As far as I remember, never. We've had someone local who tried to start that a few times.

Is the FA version of this double Motocobras or double MARV? Gut tells me double Motocobras but will need testing.

Bump bought to you by Rosenthal.

You guys ever play Cromehounds?

the armored core series just left me with a bad taste in my mouth after the second one. There really is a tragic lack of good Mech games out there.

>>142655026
Yes.

I was garbage at making robots though so I ended up with the Dick Cannon.

Regular humanoidish robot, but main weapon was a huge cannon where the dick would be. It was surprisingly effective.

Stop it, STOP IT! I hate thinking about that.

Even if we couldn't be friends we would at least be enemies and I'd recorded my fights. That would have been more than enough for me to get over what I have missed, what I'm not apart of. I wanted to be niche just like you. It's hard to watch old videos of the 4A because I begin to think about how I was never apart of the community and these are the type of games I love. Whether I die on the battlefield or become the greatest NEXT pilot doesn't even matter to me anymore.

I just want to feel the fight. The fear of losing. The burden that is high expectations. I want to fight other pilots... and this is my last opportunity - here at /acg/

What I want is..... Memories.

At least you're not stuck on the 360 like me. Chromehounds justified my purchase back in the day, but then the servers went down. At least I got to play VD while it was still popular on the 360 (yes, it actually did have a lot of activity at one point).

I thought about this a little more in the shower this morning.
In all honesty, the disappearance of all the namefags isn't that terrible of a thing on the grand scale because it would likely survive that. There are far worse things that could be happening to this general, several of which could potentially sink it permanently. So even if what you think is happening happens, and it's not at the moment, it's nothing the general can't recover from.

I thought Wonderful Body was just a shitter Normal pilot shoved into a Next and couldn't keep up with real Lynx.

>>142766535
Yup, you nailed it.

>Don Colonel's odd piloting ability, while attributed to his Normal days, are also an indirect reference to common Armored Core piloting techniques in other games, particularly in Armored Core 3 universe, where boosting and stopping is a must to conserve energy. As Normals are basically Armored Cores, this is a subtle nod to the players.

not to be antagonistic or anything but why do you care? you guys sound like fucking politicians talking about mergers this and absorbing that, holy shit
things tend to sort themselves out on 4chan. as it is, things have sorted themselves into the categories that currently exist not because we've been shepherded into them but because we want to be here, and they want to be there. it's not more complicated than that and i don't understand why you people try to make it so.

We currently provide a public mumble. If you'd like some armored core channels, that can easily be arranged.

I remember back in 2011. Robot games were coming back strong, they said. Now all we've got left are zombies, minimally viable cash grabs, and series that haven't seen real updates in forever.

>>142836945
there are still groups here small as they are
there's been a revitalized interest in for answer and people seemingly play reguarly now
every so often an anon shows up interested in the series and we're here to give sound advice, not to dismiss them (as has been mine and many others' experience with the bigger generals)
i'm not opposed to the idea (i don't really care, to be blunt) but my stance is that if it were agreed upon by everybody, it would just be done already and this kind of discussion wouldn't need to happen.
the bumps would stop, the threads would stop, and people who want to talk about AC would undoubtedly have to find a new place to do so.
but the simple fact that the bumps happen, the threads are created, etc. shows that the people (whoever they are) still want this thread around. why does it seem that once a month somebody comes here and fights that?
simply the fact that resistance exists is reason enough to leave the communities separate imo. why force it? why try to? who benefits?

Like the hawkenbros before you, you'd benefit by getting more exposure, more players (to a certain point, at least), and you'd not have to worry about bumping your thread 21 hours a day.

AC is an established franchise, and not a shitty cash grab IP like hawken, so you'd have a far more realistic chance of becoming number 2 over in /gerg/.

>>142842796

Well, the only reason for me to support the merge would be if we can actually get more people to play during SNFA or supportor the LR emulation project, but I belive that /acg/ exist because people want a place apart to talk about armored core, there is a reason we still keeping making the threads. as Jeck says >>142842796 the general also serves as a place to help new player to enter the serie, with real advice and support, even now SNFA is a relative success because we are getting people to play those, the LR emultion projects looks doing fine for now.

Even more, if the merge happens and FROM actually release AC6, I think people looking for a place to talk about the previous games or for advice, will just find a a new general full of newbies with people with no real expirience with the old games, while /gerg/ or /m/ could server as place to look for advice, is no the same than having a dedicated general for it.

Just my humble opinion.

>>142843898

Joing up with the mechwarriors virtually guarantees that we'll see more players.

If it doesn't work out, just split away.

>implying FROM will ever make something that's not souls related.

don't suppose anyone wants to/is even able to play vd on 360?

Hello from /gerg

I understand that people have brought up dead generals and interest in merging. This is only halfway about a lack of posters and halfway due to more and more generals being made in /vg without increasing the page count for /vg. Unless that changes any general that can't post very frequently will die regularly.

I've casually perused /acg every once in a while as a giant robot enthusiast and you guys seem cool.

Be aware we have a small but active pile of shitposters like most generals. If you can ignore that you're more than welcome to come though I can only speak for myself.

And if you don't want to, that's cool too.

>>142844936
A question, how giant is giant?

Current gen Cores are around 5-7 stories tall.

>>142843898
In the event that AC6 releases and explodes in popularity, we could totally split back off and form up /acg/ again. As it stands now with out even a hint of new AC, we're stagnating here, sans the odd visitor asking about LR netplay.

>>142845038
Mechwarrior is strictly in the 3-5 stories area.

I would say giant includes everything bigger than fallout power armor up to battleship sizes.

Here is the mission.

The objective is to take control of the large scale 4chan board, /vg/.

So um... who are the NEXT that survived an attack on arms fort? White Glint and.....? By the way, how madly damaged was SoMW after WG attacked it and Strayed engage to destroy it?

>>142879425
Not him, that was a really good comeback. SO good I spit out my drink..

>>142881225
>So um... who are the NEXT that survived an attack on arms fort? White Glint and.....? By the way, how madly damaged was SoMW after WG attacked it and Strayed engage to destroy it?
If you assume the CG intro is even canon, it looks like White Glint's attack was a total failure. Anatolia's Merc is definitely skilled enough to take down Motherwill but he probably didn't have the same intel as Strayed (Strayed had access to League insider tier intel while White Glint is limited to Line Ark intel). This means that no matter how good White Glint is, if he doesn't know to target the turrets and cause internal damage, he's not going to be able to win a prolonged fight.

I just thought of something. In AC4, Anatolia's Merc singlehandedly blows BFF the fuck out. Years later in ACFA, you have Motherwill as a BFF Arms Fort, and in the CG intro he actually fails to destroy it. I wonder if that's intended symbolism for how Arms Forts have supposedly made Nexts obsolete?

>>142881869
I go more for the he didnt have the right intel, he never attack the motherwill, just the mooks, he probably wasted his ammo and then pull back. if you notice the intro the motherwill is plagues by normals, helicopters and planes, when you attacked just have some normals, WG probably wiped the small army on it and then you were send to destroy the actual thing.

>>142881869
But in one of the cut scenes the guy mentions how only a few NEXT have survived after taking on an Arms Fort, so it has to be more than WG and Strayed.

>>142883395
There's definitely more than just the two player characters, but none of the others have ever been relevant. You can assume that most of the League pilots you face during the Orca route have successfully beaten Arms Forts since Orca's own Arms Fort unit likely gets defeated off screen. You can also count all the pilots who can coop with you during Arms Fort missions.

>>142882346
That would make sense. I don't think the two missions were intended to be a joint effort though since it's Line Ark and a League faction that order both of the attacks.

>>142884426
After WG attack, Omer took the oportunity seeing that Motherwill had low defenses and send you in.

>>142883395
one of the first ORCA pilot you encounter says something like "So they send NEXT now, I was getting tired of fighting Arms Forts" at the start of the mission, so we can be sure that there is other people destroying those.

>>142884814
He was pretty weak for someone who can take on Arm Forts.

Speaking of Arm Forts, how is even remotely possible for a Next to take down Answerer? It is hard for me to grasp this as I am only human.

>>142887438
You talking from a lore or gameplay perspective? Gameplay it's easy, you just blade it to death. Lore is also pretty easy, you just need to have a flight capable Next and good reaction times to dodge all of its attacks, as well as enough speed to escape the assault armor. You basically just keep shooting it and disabling it piece by piece until it dies to death.

>>142887438
if we go in-universe, I think their best option would be using explosives and missiles to destroy the part were the wings joins to the main body, problaby having to take out the missiles launchers on Answerer so they can survive. Of course they need plenty ammo, and a good operator to warn them when the AA is going to explode, and if we go hard mode, also fast since the primal armor of answerer is so big that cause kojima contamination in the area hard enough to damage a NEXT.

We are working as fast as we can to establish adequate thread bumps, but the Autosage forces are drawing too close too fast. The captchas will not be filled out in time to bump.

This situation has left us no choice; we need you to defend /acg/.

The Autosage forces will consist mostly of flavor of the month generals and cancerous circlejerks. Do you think you can drive them off, and protect the lives of millions of innocent Ravens?

Of course, we will compensate you as best we can. Thank you in advance for your help.

If that's not your thing, then how about I offer you this here rare Greenfield instead? If you complete the mission as requested, I'll even let you save it. It's all yours, friend.

Well, since nobody is going to accept the other job...

This will be your mission

The client is Page 10. Your objective is to destroy the /vg/ thread, /acg/.

The /acg/ community have deployed a number of thread bumpers throughout the general. It's a simple but highly effective system.

The client therefore recommends the use of a 4chan Pass unit. You should be able to outpace captcha based thread bumpers via nonstop shitposting. Once you begin Saging and force the thread into bump limit, the /acg/ bumpers themselves will give you little trouble. It's a brilliant plan.

That is all.

Page 10 is very eager to accomplish this mission. If you do, you can expect a large reward.

>>142952285
Ok I take it.

>>142943341

Then I propose a test run. Lets simultaneously help /gerg/ bump and keep /acg/ around. Strengthen ties to our mech brothers and see if discussion can happen between the robot games. What do we have to lose, right?

>>142962554

>Lets simultaneously help /gerg/ bump

Youll get sick of it in a a few days when you find they wont talk about anything except MWO and their group drama.

Say no to the merge, independent Ravens to the end.

>>142965736

Then we'll have lost nothing.

>>142967194
>to the end
Yeah, and the end is nigh

Okay, first actual Armored Core related question in this thread. I've been trying to git gud with the Murakumos in ACVD. I know about the Grind Blade Kumo quad thing, but I want to play a biped with ranged options as well.
I've noticed that sometimes when I get a clean hit (Glide Boost to High Boost to Booster Cut to Kumo hit) the damage will be even higher than normal (as in 30k instead of 15-18k) and there's a "clank" hitsound as if someone got kicked. I haven't figured out how to do that intentionally.

So, any tips? How does one Kumo properly?
And is there a point to the one-two punch when dual wielding? The second hit always does next to no damage because I no longer have momentum after the first hit connected.

>>142968939

Kumos are based on RNG and are based on how well you're doing. As in "if you're doing great, the kumo will have the effectiveness of a rotten banana peel on a stick". Whereas if you're doing bad, it'll have the same effectiveness, but look like you're doing good.

I think they were confirmed official in an OST disc, but as I keep listening to it I still feel like it's engrish behind the vocal distortion. Either what I did was a more proper aural-translation or simply gave it less "narm"

Look at the top of the post too. See the button that says embed on the youtube link? Thinker's right there.

Pic related. Supposedly something about Armored Core 4's HUD meaning to look more like this, very souls-y. I can't translate much than "inspired from sparks". Maybe it was intended to be first person, or it could have been an extra scene in the "project force" early AC4 trailer. Who knows.

>>142979363
Wow, this general is so helpful. Thanks guys.

I figured out the dual punch on my own. I was cancelling the second hit by moving too early, apparently. So now I can do around 30-35k damage with them.

And I definitely got the perfect hit once more and it's 100% a different hitsound. Normal Kumo hit is quiet, perfect hit has a boost drive hit sound effect.

>>142968939
For Sirius, though. Kumo damage is calculated by momentum. This does not mean that going faster will do more damage. But, it does mean that a heavier build needs to be closer to its top speed to deal optimal damage, which usually involves falling on your target. Also, the Kumo hitbox is angle downward, so being above your target is generally a good idea anyway.

But, because of the momentum calculation, it's generally a better idea to add weight, as 2000lb moving 100mph hits harder than 500lb moving 150. This is why many Kumo focused builds add an OW on the back. Also, the OW does expand your AC's hitbox some, giving your Kumos even more range.

Which, by the way, if you aren't hitting with your Kumos, switch to ACC spec ones, if you haven't already, because hitting people from 100m away is fun, I guess.

>>142984461
>this is why kumo builds add an OW

I just tested it, that's not the reason that they do that. If you put a shitton of weight on a biped, including an OW, the damage is barely any different. However, if you add a Grind Blade (or maybe Huge Blade, not sure) to a tetrapod, the base damage of the weapon will increase. A standing hit will do 5k, and an HB to Kumo will do 25k. If you nail the combo, that's around 50000 damage and usually more than enough to kill things dead.
This only works on a quad, and only with this specific OW. Simply adding weight by other means makes very little difference.
I also tested the whole"dropping down" thing. A drop-down usually doesn't break 10k damage. HBing and then sliding into an opponent while the hitbox of your blade is out does around double the damage, on both LBPs and Tetras.
The "perfect shot" seems to occur when you're slightly above your opponent and HB into them and then cut boosters as the hitbox is about to connect. It's apparently really fucking strict, but it allowed me to break 28k with a biped (testing on Erik, the Biped test target, who died instantly) using only one blade. I also managed to land it on a no-program UNAC tank I made as a practice target, but it wasn't at full health at the time.
I'm just asking if anyone knows how exactly you need to hit to achieve maximum damage and whether it's a timing thing or a specific angle.
The damage calc also isn't purely momentum-related. The game doesn't run a live calc of your speed and your weight, it just has specific damage amounts (likely weight-influenced) based on speed ranges. I.e. If you are around normal boost speed while hitting, you will get specific damage amount 1. If youa are around HB speed, you'll get specific damage amount 2. As long as you don't change the mech, every single hit performed using the same approach will always do exactly the same damage with absolutely no deviation.

>>142984461
Oh, and I'd say ACC spec isn't worth it. You'll take too long to kill things in an actual sortie, better to need only one clean hit to kill/heavily cripple someone than to never even break 15k with your strikes. Maybe if I figure out the whole max damage thing that will change

>>142988064
Well, hey, if you don't want to take the word of someone with over 3 years' experience, both on the receiving end, and the sending end, I won't force you. If whatever you've found works better for you, for story mode, then by all means, do that. But don't say I never warned you when you run across a 4-man Archy-Kumo squad in CQ. (Though, if you stay on INT, it'd be a miracle if you found anything in CQ at all.)

Personally, I'm not a fan of Kumos. Only used them a handful of times. More of a Vendetta/Pile/kick person. But, I have fought many, many Kumo builds, so I do know how they work.

What the heck has happened to /acg/ while I've been at school?

>>143006680

I think we're trying to get all friendly with /gerg/. I'm on my best behavior trying to keep mech discussion on the level, but the thread doesn't talk about Armored Core that much. It's all relegated to Mechwarrior.

I'm starting to wonder if merging is a good idea.

>>143007047
>but the thread doesn't talk about Armored Core that much
Neither are we apparently with less than 400 posts in 5 days. that's slow even for us

>>143007047
Was this /acg/'s idea or /gerg/'s? This idea is even worse than that moron that kept asking us to migrate to /m/

>>143007047
/gerg/ guy here

I mean, most of us don't really play the ACs you can still play anymore. Plenty of us played them and enjoy AC, so don't take this the wrong way, but most of the AC related content will have to come from you guys posting it. We all played Heavy Gear back when too, and various other mech games, but without new things to talk about (AC6) what can we say? We're mostly preoccupied with MWO because it's what we all still play.

Hopefully I'll be able to join you guys for some Armored Core scrimms next weekend, but I'm busy this weekend. I'm also very out of practice with ACFA or VD.

I'm trying to foster some discussion about it and doing my best to make you guys feel welcome but I can only do so much. The majority of the AC talk will have to come from you guys at the end of the day. As said, not because we don't have interest in AC, but since we aren't actively still playing it there's not much for us to talk about.

Whether you guys want to join us or not is fine. We'll be adding your stuff to the next OP, but you're of course free to continue to do whatever you want. We won't be going anywhere, and all manner of robot love will always be welcome over there. Some people post Heavy Gear Assault updates everytime there's something updated even though that game probably has less players than Verdict Day at present still.

I hope you guys keep on in whatever form you find most comfortable, because while I play MW most frequently now I have an incredible amount of love for AC and it makes me happy you guys have kept this general trucking as long as you have even in the face of how-are-they-still-here? generals like Katawa Shoujo or how-do-they-go-through-so-many-threads? like /dsg/.

So even if you want to stay here, you can at least consider /gerg/ some sort of secondary place as of the next OP. Hopefully we might send you guys a few extra bodies through it. Unless yall are opposed to that.

Zio Matrix a shit.

Love, gerg.

I heard AC4/FA and V/VD had a lot of extra material that really expanded the story, or cut exposition etc.

Can anyone give me some guidance to this stuff? Would love to know what I missed out on.

>>143008423

I appreciate all the efforts of /gerg/ and I consider everyone who loves robots to be like family. There's just not much for us to talk about between SNFA and ACVD tourneys, so discussion is usually on the downlow.

>Hopefully we might send you guys a few extra bodies through it.
I wouldn't mind that at all.

>passive aggressive
All I did was state my opinion, if you think otherwise that's cool, just explain why please.

>for story mode
I'm trying to git gud phys blading in online, and that's why I was asking. Sure, I'll give Accuracy Kumos another try, but you could at least give me an actual argument instead of being all high-and-mighty about it. Why are they so useful? The hitbox is mostly large enough on power tune, in both actual fights and testing (in my experience). And I'd rather not sacrifice a third to half of my damage. Is it because the double hit is more consistent to land?

And I'd like to migrate to JP but I'm not exactly sure how to go about that as a European. It's not that important of an issue right now though, I've got a couple people whom I can play on INT with.

So I'm picking up FA for the first time and it is actually incredibly fun, however I have a problem.

I'm on the 2nd or 3rd mission going for the Destruction ending (guard a convoy and take out what is in the way), and I constantly run out of ammo by the time I make it to the 2 "old style vehicles" that seem to withstand an entire load of laser shots and missiles.

I want to love this game, what am I doing wrong?

>>143034631
Take a laser blade with you. I assume you are already going down the shortest route by killing everything before the convoys convoys get there

>>143035816
I can't buy the laser blade yet, at least it isn't showing up in the shop.

Should I have chosen the "independent" mech at the start?

>>143035997
The Rosenthal and Independent (Rayleonard) mechs start with a blade. Both are actually really good, the Rayleonard one is the second strongest. Short as hell though.
Can you buy a chaingun or other high-ammo shoulder weapons? All you can do in this case is load up your AC with a fuckton of firepower and hope you don't run out.
If all else fails, beat the first enemy in the Arena. Don't worry, he's really easy. He will give you some physical blades. They're terrible, but they don't need any ammo. Put one of them on and rely on your shoulder weapons and other hand to get to the big units, then just go right up to them and start punching.

>>143036517
Alright, I'll start over. It's not like the missions take too long to complete anyway.

>>143036732
Which starting mech did you take? And are you playing on regulation 1.00 or the patched game? Because the patches made the missions a lot easier

>>143036732

Take GA America's mech. It's a nice sturdy built with good missile support.
