Best tread design

>>146391725
and your argument for that is?
>>
>>146393425
It looks better than a guntank.

There's something so good about Tank Tread AC designs.
>>
>>146394671
probably because AC Tank Tread looks like a modern tank? Guntak treads apperas as somekind of light tank from WWII, small, not very long, and some of them even have the tread completly exposed, that gives a "no armor" look, meanwhile AC tank tread are like a heavy-medium tank, with heavy armor, long tread and you can feel they can push everthing in their way, like in V intro.

Any ideas on what build is good to beat Nobless in the attack Arteria Capals mission? Weapons?
>>146396718
Plus the core and upper body of AC doesn't usually stick out.
Like so>>146398526
>>
>>146399142
oh yeah, the upper body blends better too.

and for Nobless, if you want the easy way, doble motorcobra, or kojima cannons since he wont try to dodge the attack when entering the area, just go and stand infront of his path. If you want to have fun, missiless and rifles in a light-mid weight.

Man this game is fun.

Where can I get moonlights though?
>>
>>146406397
I think you get it after defeating Shinkai in the arena, for that you need to complete the game once, in the second run go for the ORCA ending, once you join ORCA you can fight him.
>>
>>146392224
There are 2 spread missiles, and high speed missile makes them irrelevant.
>>
>>146399142
His only threat is the laser cannons, pack on TE defense and grenades. You can also catch him on the only to the battle with Kojima weapons (since he rushes straight in), but that's only for COWARDS.
>>
Answerer is Interesting. Trying the same old build with WG1, and should I stick with a rifle or something with a higher firing rate? Mostly tuned to reduce energy used up when flying and additional KP/Rectification, and had shoulder units to help quick boost better. Is a blade recommended or should I just use shit that can blast away?

Those missiles keep hitting me hard is my only issue. Energy is more easier to manage with more Points.

>>146407085
Well shit, I locked myself out until next run.
>>
>>146410067
if it is your first time, dont worry, you NEED to complete the game once to access the other endings.
>>
>>146410067
Flares are your friends.

Aim for the arms, or for the spikes on the bottom, the thing can't dodge so pack on as heavy hitting weapons as you can. Bazookas and grenades are nice. It's more of a damage race.
>>
>>146410067
since the missiles are from above, pack some vertical flares.

Great games B+. What were those large explosives I kept running into? The ones that'd do about 1/3 of my health? It was funny seeing AP drop when they hit me.

>>146443727
I've never used shotguns in this game, besides slug guns. All I can figure out is a (somewhat) lowdrain frame, high kp output for over boosting, and slug guns. KP is the more important part, I think

it's a shame that it sucks. There are so few good heads in VD, really.
>>
>>146461902
>>146456126

Middle design head is the best head in ACV and the other version (HF-227) is one of the better heads in ACVD.

The only viable heads in ACVD are HF-227, Umegae, the highest defense CE head, C15/Marcus Fischer, Sealeye and the one high camera TE head.

Since you already have Wynne, I think you cant do co-op for that, in any case we can give you build tips for it.
>>
>>146481667
As far as I know you can coop any mission, even if it contains a wingman. You can coop carpals right?
Also, FA (and AC in general) is missing some huge 4v4 battles with a ton of Normals and AFs thrown in. I would have loved a huge mayhem fight like that.

I'm having an issue when over Armor/bomb blast thing to work despite mashing buttons they activate it.

>>146484810
Check your Overbooster.
You also need to have a white PA bar.
>>
>>146484810
Then stop mashing buttons. Equip an assault capable OB, and press the weapon change buttons first before pressing the OB button, as doing it the other way will make you zoom off into the distance.
>>
>>146485718
>there is assault versions
Least most descriptions have it. Never noticed since I only changed OB's recently to match some enemy AC.

I only really noticed when I was doing an Order Match and it never popped up when I did it regularly.

Swallowtail is the best looking head in VD, even though it doesn't really go with anything. Is it good?
>>
>>146494104
Maybe, most lightweight parts benefit from reverse joints. The Lahire core arguably compliments reverse joints the best, though. Just and fyi, the Rayleonard legs cost way too much energy for RJs
>>
>>146494674
True, I've done LAIHRE+Reverse, I'm mostly trying a medium light craft, LAIHRE too paper thin.
>trying a defunct company instead of the superior Algebra legs
It doesn't extent capacity for that build, though I like both the jet knees and reverse, guess I alternate

What online settings do you guys use?

Hey? Wake up?
>>
>>146497684
You mean like the lobby settings? I go ten minutes, no respawn, limited ammo, regulation 1.40, and I randomly pick the map each match. Anything else is for fags.
>>146494424
Best hacking speed if I remember right, but considering that hacking is a subpar strategy, that doesn't really account for much. I think it also has a high KE defense.
>>
>>146500365
Also server?

I'm a Brit, but in unsure if everyone else is Na so I will pick majority.

Other than the one anon who accepted, who else is interested?
>>
>>146501000
Honestly, I don't think the region you pick matters for anything. I think it's just a way of showing where you're from so people can draw preconceived notions about lag.

>tfw not at home for the weekend

Man what is wrong with my internet. Thanks anyway anon. Any tips?

>>146503047
Well, you seem to have the basics down.

You know how to Quick Turn?

You seemed to not know on our first fight.
>>
>>146503286
No, I do not.
Man that first fight I forgot I hard the Blue chip, but I suck usually.
Can I trade your schematics at some point? Other than the Reverse Latona and the tank and a third I got nothing much else.
>>
>>146503640
Quick Turn is just QB while turning the camera and not touching the left stick. It, well, quickly turns you.
You can also drift turn in FA, but personally I'm more annoyed by it as I keep doing it on accident when using CQB weaponry.
>>
>>146503640
Sure, i guess i can trade my schematics.

Don't expect anything special from a rookie, though.

>>146452045

I got a room up for ACLR PPSSPP if anyone is interested in a match.

I wanna test some stuff for the most part.
>>
>>146504773
You know what, I just might. PPSSPP is recognizing the controller I have plugged in.
Right now, my biggest problem is setting controls. Should I use the defaults and then remap PPSSPP's input reads or should I try to change them in game?
>>
>>146507330
I remapped the PPSSPP input read so I could fire both left and right arms more comfortably since the PSP itself lacks buttons for my PS2 setup

So I guess if someone didn't do that I'd have some sort of advantage.

>disarm is a five button combination
Any helpful advice on the matter?
>>
>>146508380
Its a lie.

Its Strafe Buttons + Camera Buttons + ToBePurgedWeaponButton
>>
>>146508605
So by default it would be
Hold R1+L1+Triangle+Circle theb press Any D-pad button
Up being Right Arm
Down being Left Arm
I forget if either Left or Right was the Extension button.

Its easier to purge than in the PS2 thats for sure albeit more difficult than in 4 or V
>>
>>146508781
Oh.

Thats still a five button combination whoops.
>>
>>146508781
I find it hard to believe it's easier than in the PS2 when the PS2 is just hold triangle and fire the weapon you want to drop.
But I think I have everything set up. Navigating menus is weird and my hardware isn't quite up to snuff, and I don't know how to join an online lobby, but it seems to all work.
>>
I've set up the FA Europe room again if anyone's interested before I D/C
>>
>>146509456
You just go to "Connection" in the title screen, load your save and then search/make a room.
>>
Oh man, I almost lost to Ska. That's embarrassing.
>>146509728
Is the lobby still up? It's telling me that it's unable to find a lobby.
>>
Oh huh its supposed to be.

I had tested it just a little bit earlier.

Try making a room however maybe its something on my side.
>>
So is 4 and 5 online dead entirely? As in "you can't connect to anyone too bad shithead" or just as in "you can only free battle"?
I really want to experience ACV maps in PVP.
>>
>>146510263
All right, I made one. 3-J.
>>146510409
4 is P2P, so you can still play other people. However, the server it used to distribute patches is down, so you can't get updates. But nobody plays 4 online anyway.
V's server is down, so you can only play other people via free battle.
>>
>>146510191
Also are you using the "Last Raven PPSSPP Package" that was thrown here in the past?

I've gotten it working online out of the box earlier and there might be configurations that are different.

>>146510532
Hm no sell though.
Like I just wrote are you using the package thing?

Are the Network settings similar to the one in my image?
>>
>>146510796
Yeah, mine looks just like that and I used the package that was provided for us. I'm sure I managed to screw something up, though.
I know my firewall was bugging me, but I told it to allow PPSSPP, so I don't think it's that.
>>
>>146510982
Ports maybe.

Do you know how to set a Internal DMZ on the router?

If yours even allow for the option that is.
>>
>>146511056
>Do you know how to set a Internal DMZ on the router?
I have literally no idea what any of that means outside of "router."
Well, unless DMZ means Demilitarized Zone, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't in this context.
>>
>>146510532
Thanks senpai.
That's what I assumed, except for the patch part with 4, that's kind of a bummer. Can you play all maps in Free Battle in 5?
Because I think I have to buy that game just for story content and maybe I can even convince you to wreck me in FBs a couple times
>>
>>146511138
Thats exactly what it means in this context.

It basically a "Open every port" option for the specific internal IP address for your network

Sort of a way to brute force when you don't wanna find out exact what ports whatever application you're using uses.
>>
>>146511138
Actually, it does.
>In computer security, a DMZ or demilitarized zone (sometimes referred to as a perimeter network) is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and exposes an organization's external-facing services to a usually larger and untrusted network, usually the Internet. The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an organization's local area network (LAN); an external network node only has direct access to equipment in the DMZ, rather than any other part of the network.
>>
>>146511179
Yeah, all...eight of them? Was it eight?
Well, there are some maps that show up in the story that don't get used for free battle, but the maps that were used in conquest are there and that's what matters most.
Just be sure you get the right version of the game. Even in free battle, NA connects to NA, EU connects to EU, and JP connects to JP. I'm pretty sure.
>>146511261
>>146511374
Wait, really? Heck, I was just trying to be funny.
So I need to log in to the router and root around then?
>>
>4 is dead forever
Fuck why did I buy this 8 years late.

Gonna buy VD at some point. I really need to.
>>146510532
>>
>>146511539
Most likely.

I'm operating on the assumption that I can host and you can't join however.

The issue might be that I can't host.

Although I was able to specifically join someone I play with earlier so I think thats out of question.
>>
>>146511539
So I have to dig up an NA copy then? Well shit, I guess I can't find that in my local vidya store. But it shouldn't be too much of a problem I guess

Anything in particular I should be looking for?
>>
>>146512264
Thats a router I haven't dealt with.

But it says the router model there so here.

http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=140747
>>
>>146512264
Wait, scratch that. There's literally a DMZ label.
>>
>>146512387
Hey, that's helpful too.
So, should I set the destination to IP or MAC? Intuition is telling me IP and to look up my IP address then set it to that.
>>
>>146512780
INTERNAL IP

Its a variation of 192.168.X.X

Its going to be tied to your MAC address on some other page of the router. I'd guess the Status maybe? Any place that shows every computer that is connected to your router.
>>
>>146512264
Might have to look up how to set up foreign accounts then, that'll also let me keep playing VD if Vagrant Guns ever dies

>>146512969
Okay, hopefully I set it right. Still no dice on lobbies, so I've set one up.
>>146513412
It's pretty easy. Make a new user on your PS3 and when setting up the new PSN account just say you're in the U.S. It might ask you for some other specific bullcrap, but you can just make stuff up. Looking it up might not be a bad idea, there might be something specific you can take advantage of that I don't know about. Then you can access the NA PSN store and once you buy something from it, you can install it on any user on the PS3.
You don't have to worry about VD, it's mostly region free. You just have to not get a JP copy.
>>
>>146513846
Have you restarted PPSSPP after enabling the DMZ?

Can't see the game yet.

Also just a reminder to turn the DMZ off after we're done with this either if we get it working or not.
>>
>>146514118
Yeah, after I enabled DMZ I closed PPSSPP and fired it back up. I'm thinking of rebooting the computer at this point.
Also, does it matter whether I'm using PPSSPP or PPSSPP64?
>>
>>146514232
I'm using PPSSPP64 the person I tested it with also used that version so I'm not sure if the regular version works online.
>>
>>146514454
I am also using 64, so I guess that's not the issue.
Unfortunately, I just ran out of time, so we'll have to try this again another day. Thanks for bearing with me.

A much more fluid, less twitchy game. PS2 area games are more about grace and position than reaction time, since there is no high boost and you can't hover in the air.

Otherwise, most of the mechanics are the same. AC2 doesn't have L-arm weapons though.

We should do what the Metroid community does. Instead of making petitions and crying about the series dying, we should work on, or seek out, fangames for the series. Maybe some other mech games that fit the niche.

If you wanna get the most out of an SC on a biped, you should consider the stat that affects ready position defense buffs because that can make a huge difference. Maybe consider a Heavy Biped even. Set up on a building overlooking a big area with someone in front of you and pop some shots. You can go into ready position and fire pretty quickly.
If you get flanked use missile arms, those will tear lightweights a new one. You can even afford running the 250 lock range missile FCS cause SCs don't lock anyway.
Next to the SC I'd probably put either a KE shield or a melee weapon for keks and cause I love physical blades, but that's far from ideal. You could just take a gat or something else general-purpose. Maybe an X00-SAWA for it's disposability and damage potential when single-wielded.

Noted, thanks.

So I just attempted a random mission using only ready weapons. I got BTFO, but it was some of the most fun I've had in VD in a while now. I'm going to keep working at this and make a good build for it.

Any weapon/build suggestions? I took the autocannon for fast/flying/weak enemies, and used a regular cannon for big enemies. I may need to upgrade to a sniper cannon for better range/accuracy. I mostly got rekt because I tried using a lightweight build so I may have to increase my defenses more.
>>
>>146624216
Sniping is the best way to do ready position, because ready position weapons can out-range most enemies, and it's harder to flank at a distance. Sniper cannons, rail cannons, laser cannons, etc.

The whole thing is about making sure you can't be flanked (such as backing up to the edge of the area or getting inside a corner) or can out-range the opponent (fighting beyond 300m).

Probably the most solid ready position build is a KE/TE Flame leg build with heat cannon weapon arms, with a laser cannon on one hand and a gatling gun on the other, using to 250 range FCS and the 851 camera performance head. Permacharge laser cannon on a balanced generator, chip away 3000-5000 AP off of anything light that approaches, and then bust out with glide boost and heat cannons as soon as they think they're close enough to avoid the laser cannon..
>>
>>146624863
The sniper does seem to be the most viable thing, but it's also the most boring. I had the most fun zipping around in a lightweight and trying to outmaneuver enemies, then quickly set up my autocannon and drill into them. Unfortunately it's not a very viable strategy for actually winning.

Maybe if I build a shield UNAC to act as a decoy and use other utilities for me, I can figure out a way to have fun with the more unconventional weapons in VD. I'm done for tonight, I'll mess with it more later.

4 and 4A are way faster in every sense and tuning makes a big difference, then V and VD slow and scale it back down to where you can use buildings as cover and kick off walls

>>
>>146628491
The games are vastly different, but the 5th gen plays closer to the older ones in style, and the 4th gen plays closer in terms of mechanics.

AC4 is alright, it's extremely pretty to look at and stylistic, but has very little content. Most missions are 30 seconds long or less, it's very dumbed-down and disappointing coming off of LR.

ACFA is the same as AC4, but refined with a much nicer plot and many more part options. Less pretty though.

ACV is probably the most forgettable. It has a few interesting characters and some really nice visuals. However, it requires online play to tune weapon (and the servers are down) and has a lot of bugs and other issues.

ACVD is the most similar to the PS2 games

Ay yo hol up
What if I told you the meta is actually pretty weak in teams because you can cover each others weaknesses
And what if I told you you can dominate in a ready-position heavy as long as somebody watches your flanks
That defense bonus is actually kinda ridiculous if you build for it. Think about it, 6000+ TE, 3000+ KE, 4000+ CE. You block anything that's not a ready-position weapon itself, a melee weapon, or maybe a SAWA. But if somebody fires a saws at you that shot is still wasted.
Ready-Heavy can absorb so much fire it's ridiculous. Back up with sentry guns for even more distraction and let your team stay behind you and pick people off who close in.

Not playing teams right then. A good team finds whomever isn't conforming to the meta and abuses the hell out of it, killing them first. Then it's a 3v4. Which quickly becomes a 2v4. You get the idea. Especially when you know the other team well enough to know what each player's weaknesses tend to be.
>>
>>146657647
Different guy.
What even is """the meta""" nowadays anymore? It used to be HRJs in ACV, then it was Fortress Quads, then it was Strek heavies, somewhere along the way we got sanic speed LRJs too. And some people still swear by their kumo quads. Nevertheless stuff like sniper cannon quads and even tanks have always had their roles in fights. And now INT is too dead to truly have a meta, which is pretty cool because anything is viable as everyone else also uses whatever and mostly wants to have fun.

So please define the meta for me

>thinks meta is just a group of builds

Okay, since a lot of people don't know what a 'metagame' is, let's break it down:

1. The Game
The game is all the stats and parts that work effectively according to the mechanics as designed by the developer. High DPS = more damage, high defense = less damage, etc. If a weapon is overpowered, it is not "meta", it is just simply powerful, because of its stats in-game or a lack of existing counter parts.

2. The 'meta' game.
This is the game that's played between players, when both of them already know the mechanics of the game. It is *not* a single build, or weapon, or anything. It is just predicting what the opponent is likely to use, by what the trends are and what has been effective recently. Everyone starts using tanks? Start packing VTFs and snipers. Everyone using VTFs and snipers? Pack KE shields and battle rifles. Everyone packing KE shields and BRs? Pack pulse guns and permaglide. etc.

Because of this, a 'meta' part is something that is normally not that powerful, but because everyone else is following a trend, it becomes very useful.

The point is, whatever is "meta" changes depending entirely on what other people are using, and who you are fighting.
>>
>>146662020
All those builds you mentioned basically abuse weaknesses in certain maps, other player builds, common choices, etc. There is no one 'meta' at any point in time, it just depends on what you reasonably expect your opponent to be using.

If anything Int is very HIGH in meta because everyone knows eachother so well by now that you can pick apart the weaknesses in each other's builds and maps. That's why it seems to change so much, because by now everyone has a toolbox of a ton of builds and strategies that give advantages against specific players.
>>
>>146670135
>>146670330
Another example of 'meta' has to do with skill levels.

Dual subcomp snipers are reasonably expected from less experienced players because they require less skill to maximize their usefulness in most situations. They're very point-and-shoot. But when you get to higher tier play, that stops working as effectively since players rely more on blue lock and know how to bait or overwhelm a sniper effectively, suddenly making this easy to use build very poor.

So that means that a good player might throw on dual subcomp snipers when playing a less experienced opponent, solely because it gives them a guaranteed win instead of a high-risk-high-reward playstyle. In this case, the dual subcomp sniper might be normally worse than another build if they didn't know what the opponent was like, but because of the opponent or map choices, it's better. Therefore, it becomes a 'meta' build in that circumstance.

It might also mean that a less experienced player might refuse to use dual subcomp snipers, because rather than guaranteeing a loss they might try for a unlikely, but possible, win using a min-max strategy that's more high-risk/high-reward.
>>

All the builds I mentioned were also low-risk high-reward at the time they were common, or a meme build that people copied. This is, to my knowledge, also a kind of meta, simply because lots of people use it.
And I can see where you're coming from. I was talking more about the FOTM OP meme builds that idiots run in masses I guess.

And all of this is why best 2 out of 3 is bullshit in ACVD, it's all about consistent wins.

It's not about knowing which builds are good and which builds are bad... it's about knowing when the same build is good and when it is bad.

Sentry turret heavies on Opal Caves
Kite sniper RJs on miyinsky hills
Sniper quads on Opal Caves
dual amp permaglide pulse guns
Kite CE missile weapon arm RJs
forehead AP-stacked shielded RJ snipers (40000+ AP lw rjs, basically, quads too, time out builds)
dual 3BR subcomp heavies
dual ammo extension X00
Dual AS missile quad shield kick tanks on miyinsky hills (melee bait)


these are a few min-max meme builds I can think of. Most of them aren't in use anymore except by people who haven't played the game in the last 6 months, because most of the time you get 1 win and then you're shut down for all the games afterwards since everyone knows what type of shit you'll be bringing and how to shut you down.

There's something I just read about. Apparently there's a mistranslation in FA and the Sphere base you have to defend (the one with the VOB) is actually from BFF and Omer is attacking it. Either way, my point about BFF quality still stands. It's expected though. Their primary command was BTFO in 4 and they just had to open their legs to GA America

Other than AI, no glaring design flaws. Mobile, has good close range weapon and missiles, OB and beyond tier speed, can tear ACs if its weaponry connects. Works well for what it is made for.

>Least the defence mechanisms don't cause it to fucking explode.
In all fairness, they never expected a force to get past the cannon defenses. And it's got really good range too.

Let's see, assuming you're traveling at 1000 kmph with vanguard overboost, and Mother Will can shoot you the second you begin the mission, and it takes 1 minute to approach close enough to disengage VOB, that means that, at minimum, the cannons have a range of 16 kilometers. So you know, that's still pretty impressive, and just speaks wonders of how powerful Nexts are, and even then you still needed vanguard overboost.

Boy, I sure hope I did that math correctly.

>>146689695
There's also the fact that if you take hard mode to be more canon than normal mode, VOBs are extremely unreliable pieces of shit that critically malfunction every other mission, making the Motherwill approach even riskier than it already is since Strayed could have been killed entirely by a mechanical failure.

Why is there no good Motherwill artwork? It's basically the secondary mascot for FA next to White Glint.

>>146689695
True, but even Giga Base for that strong long range offensive skill, but that's only cannon, Motherwill has those annoying missiles.

Strayed is second strongest pilot in series all things considered considering, even WG, man who took down most originals, fucked up horribly with his attempt.

I will understand those three ones at the top since their massive cannons and that causes serious damage.

Least it ain't Omer shit.
>>
>>146682496
It's also a retarded weapon concept. Seriously, a fucking laser blade skimming the water surface? Ships aren't the main threat here, flying robots that have deadly melee weaponry are. Answerer had the right idea, use sonething to actively deter close combat and force them to back off. Stigro was outdated the day it was built because it combats something that's a non-threat.
>>
>>146692513
To be fair if they'd known a shit tier NEXT using nothing but a pair of pile bunkers could bring it down instantly they'd probably not have bothered.
>>
>>146693472
>>146692513

Stigro is a nice design though. The blades rip through any naval fleets, while the high density of tracking missiles will often force evasive maneuvers on any less talented Next. I can see where they were coming from, and I can support it somewhat.

But yeah, it's basically what this guy said >>146691012 . At least it has a leg up on Omer's arms fort, which has the accuracy of a blind man trying to hit a target half way across the map.

And don't even get me started on the Jet AFs from Orca.
>>
>tfw nobody to armor cores with
>>
>>146692513
Blades for ships, missiles to strike airborne targets.

AI should've been targeted to circle enemies at high speed to fire barrage of missiles which chew through PA, had More defensive builds.
What machine blindly ram at a target where there is so many obstructions in Chinese Shanghai?

Though answerer was combination of both IU and Omer. But Answerer has good weapons but silly design. Why waste money to make a giant shard float than making it like both of their AFs; mobile. Sending more pollution and it can be destabilised by those massive wings which don't get the projection the assault armour(meaning It can project other things like PA). Though only a problem if a guy gets close, but a fast enough AC already disproved that.

It would've been better as a land vehicle or smaller. It does feel intimidating as hell, especially with those noises and the fact it uses a player tactic.

>>146695547
Eclipse does fuck all. Moves slow, laser doesn't strike fast enough and missiles are weak. Takes more to strike it down but still.
Honestly the idea of jet seems to be stigro but remove its advantages. What was the point of that massive weak point at top? Why would they not be evasive, the firing blades are nice and all but even eclipse just has to fire down on it to destroy it.

What corps didn't have AFs again and what was stupid about the ones which did?

I think AFs in general were a cool idea, but they shouldn't have been in AC4 or FA. Against a normal AC or a V era AC, they'd be collossal fights with alot of challenge. But in FA, they're facing the mecha equivalent of Superman and Goku.

Newtypes just have psychic powers that aren't actually meant for combat but coincidentally translate well into it. They can sense when someone is nearby or feel people's intentions, so even if their sensors don't notice the guy coming up behind them to shank them with a beam saber, they might get a Newtype hunch that there's a lunatic coming to kill them and they're able to react to it.

That doesn't mean shit when a Next is flat out stronger than the vast majority of mobile suits in any Gundam series. There's also the fact that Lynx are also psychic to some degree, meaning they're probably the AC4 universe's equivalent of Newtypes which cancels out the inherent advantage a Gundam universe Newtype might have anyway.

So what style would we like to see AC6 be?
1-3's slower combat, 4's floaty speedy combat, 5's sort of like the original but with way more bouncing around or something different?

Hey guys, so a few weeks ago I mentioned that I'd gotten verdict day, but for the 360. Some anon and I were talking about the online group and told me that you're all on PS3 and I said that I'd try to source one.

Just got back from EB today, with a preowned, couldn't find Verdict Day for it, but it's only a matter of time before I source one. So just letting you know how it's coming along.

>another 360 player bites the dust
Oh well... I-It's not like I actually wanted to play with anyone else or anything...

It's not like I burned my 360 and my copy of AC in the back yard or anything. Still, cbf paying for live

When you get it on PS3 could you try and pay close attention to the framerate and graphics compared to the 360? I hear everyone talk about how the V games have horrible FPS but I never really notice it. I'm wondering if it's just a PS3 thing since the 360 tends to handle multiplats better.

>>146831527
Sure thing. 360 looks like it's a consistent ~40fps, though I haven't played it in a week or so. We'll see how ps3 handles it.

Oh crap, forgot to respond to this.
Two major thoughts. One is that they just wanted to see how the ruins would react. This is either for a plan to use the ruins against Windermere or so they can justify a dimensional warhead.
Speaking of which, isn't that the same thing as the divide by zero bomb from Frontier?
The other is that they were bought off, either by Windermere or Windermere's Greatest Ally

Overall, 360 does have a more solid framerate on the 5th gen titles. This is due to the architecture of the systems. 360 was built closer to a PC, and previous consoles, where PS3 tried something different. As a result, games designed for PS3 only had very few performance issues, where as games designed to work on multiple systems favored an architecture that devs were more familiar, and was more common, overall. As a result, multiplatform titles were/are generally less optimized to run on PS3, due to the system's lack of RAM in favor of raw processor power.

That said, I won't say I've never noticed any fluctuation in PS3 VD's framerate. But it's never dipped below 25FPS for me, usually sticking around 30, which is the average for most previous-gen titles, actually. PS3 ACV, on the other hand, was notorious for presenting slideshows on specific maps. So much so, that a lot of teams would set up their base defenses specifically to take advantage of that fact.

Also, in addition, due to, again, different hardware (namely the processing units), I've been led to understand that the two systems do, actually, process the game's physics differently, even if slightly. However, as I have never owned an Xbox, I cannot actually confirm or deny this.

Also worth mentioning, framerate issues might be less common on the slim models of the PS3, versus the launch models. I don't remember if this was the case or not, but I vaguely remember one of the later PS3 models adding RAM to the system. Either that or the PSP. One of the two. Maybe both?

I thought this was the case. I always found it weird when people talked about AC being a technical mess.

>still get laughed at even though I play on the objectively better system for the game
Is this what it's like to be a PCfag? Feels bad.

Good night /acg/

pls dont die

This is why I can understand frame rate issues with multiplat games. They have to adapt the game for multiple pieces of hardware, so if FA and VD drops, I can understand.

This shouldn't happen with exclusives though. It's why I disliked Bloodborne, and why I'm nervous when it comes to From Software making exclusives again. If they can't optimize their game for even one system, then how can they do it for multiple?

If you're the strayan, I'm that anon. Thanks for letting us know, and good luck with finding a copy. They're pretty easy to get here in yurop

>>146845479
Yeah that's me. Soon I'll be able to zoom around in a robot online. For now I'm finally enjoying MGS4 for the first time.
>>
>>146831527
I have a fat PS3 (not a launch model tho)
And I never notice any frame rate issues except for when point-blank howitzer shots connect, and then for like a second as the game tries to understand how much damage the guy on the receiving end just ate. It's much more stable than, say, FA pvp on the water map.

I bladed them both. Starka falls fast if you can hit, just pack insanely strong PA to avoid taking much damage and kill her before your PA drops.

Also, BFF head and blade FCS
