/acg/ - Armored Core General: Limiter Released edition

>>148685534
>we hit bump limit, everyone's excited
>new thread is DoA
I'm glad some things never change.

So, where do I start in the AC series?

I downloaded AC2, but apparently the third is the best starting point or some shit. And then there's the one on the PS1, but I'm not sure if I should play it or not.

>>148687781
Start with 1, 3, FA or VD.
They're all moderately forgiving, 2 isn't a bad place to start but it had a few difficulty spikes.

Thanks for the answer, I'll start with AC3, as that seems like the best place to start from.

What. Is that supposed to say LR? Cause I see FA copies in pretty much every store that sells used games.

I've no idea why it says that and I've always assumed the same. FA is dirt cheap here, Last Raven on the other hand... Well it's so non existent here in the UK that this is my copy.

>>148791936
It's 1 am GMT.

How do you guys hit people on FA, without facing them or getting behind them?

I'm constantly finding myself chase people down who are able to hit me from the sides or behind but I can never get into my sight range

It's not a stats issue, I have the best range, maneuverability, melee ability, etc. that I can get. But it just seems damn near impossible to get some good players in my sight range. They're always at the edges of my screen

is it that the meta is just broken in favor of stupid fast mechs that you can't actually hit? FA's online is really disappointing me

No tips at all?

I really want to be able to play FA without raging, but it seems so incredibly one-sided with no explanation why I'm taking so much damage constantly

Are other players just that good that they can never take damage but still use heavy cannons on lightweights consistenty?

or maybe the skill gap is too wide that I'm not learning whatever secrets it takes to be able to use more than rifles on anything other than a tank

>>148798249
>>148801171
Are you CHF_0599 or are you NK?

>>148801802
Tanks are garbage and basically put a huge flashing neon "KILL ME" sign above your head.
Light bipeds have enough load capacity to take some of the heavier missile launchers in addition to two rifles and can still move faster than basically everything else.
Grab two (assault) rifles, lock on to someone, and hold triggers until you get some damage in.
Welcome to FA.

>>148802350
Neither

>>148803197
Yeah, my problem is that I need something bigger than rifles. I'm losing huge against cannons every time I pull out rifles, even against lightweights. But I can't make them work for myself.

Example of what I know:
>I know that VTF missiles do great to wear down PA and chase down enemies with no PA for heavy damage. So I put VTF missiles on a PA pressure build.

Example of what I'm confused about:
>The VTF missiles never hit, but I've seen other players use them easily. I try to flank with them, I try to shoot them when the opponent isn't expecting, nothing. nada. Other players are just too accurate and I'm just missing constantly. How do I look for the right chance? What missiles do I combine them with? etc.

Weapons that I can't seem to get working, but kill me constantly:

1. Kamal (seriously... how do you even do damage with this?)
2. Spread Bazookas
3. Grenade launchers
4. VTF missiles
5. Spread missile extension
6. Rail cannons
7. Scatter missiles

Weapons I've had good success with:
1. Most Rifles
2. High accuracy missiles
3. Lightest sniper rifle
4. Light omer laser rifle
5. Laser sniper rifle

But those are all very low damage/dps and I just can't keep up with the damage racing

>>148804520
I'm mostly using those weapons on lightweight permaflight Latona or

I emphasize main and back boosters, and use weaker side boosters, so I can have permanent flight, so it's not like I'm running around using a tank or heavy with no mobility.

>>148804520
You know if you been playing for long you'll be able to read the patterns of the missiles. Also VTF's are pretty easy to evade without sufficient pressure from other weapons to back them up. Perhaps we should compile a list of effective weapons but with the uncertainty of FA's latency its to best to test on your own. Yes you're not alone friendo some weapons work wonders for JP lords but for us it will never hit.

>>148791936

I really want to apologize for not making SNFAs these past weeks. I'm an asshole, I know. I promise I'll make it again, but I can't make a promise on a definite date, because that might be a promise I can keep. And if I can't keep that, I'd be an asshole squared.

>>148807889
That's fine Penny, one day you'll actually stay for more than an hour.

>>148808048
It's alright n-k you just need to make ACs that can actually function

>>148809737
But that was only once I used the junker.
The one that can function(blade plus shotgun) is my own issue of skill though.

>>148809974
I hate to burst your bubble, but that's not a very functional AC

>>148810269
Unfortunately once you realise it can't take hits. Or dish out damage.

>>148810424
kek The problem with it is that it's not fast enough to utilize its shotgun or blade. Blades should only be used on bipedal lightweight ACs, and shotties should only be used on generally very fast ACs. Unfortunately I think that your AC might also be bad at retaining energy.

friendly reminder NOT to bully heavies, ty

>>148810775
Bah, I'd it looks cool, it's better than being functional.
Except for half of the ones I used.

>>148939004

It's hard in the sense that it's 3-4 games worth of experience packed into one game. You are supposed to have played the other games prior to playing it, so you have to make up a lot of practice before you can hope to make progress early on.

Once you catch up to the learning curve though, it's not so bad.

>>148942154
LR feels like a game that starts in the middle of the learning curve, as if you missed half of the game leading up to that point.

>>148942223
Makes sense, I mean it's a succession to nexus and possibly ninebreaker in terms of gameplay.

>>148939763
Armored core isn't massive, but Ace Combat was incredibly popular and the ps2 trilogy still is. Strange there's been nothing to port them to newer systems.

>>148942481
It's more that they specifically didn't think that another AC game was going to come out, so they made LR just for the existing fans.

From Soft didn't have a PS3 Dev Kit until Sega stepped in for AC4

>>148944194
Least a new game is out for it.
Where's AC6? How long was gaps between LR-4 and FA-V?

>>148945275
Well then maybe difficulty ain't so crazy.
Maybe it's more.

I've found a bug in Silent Line. If I convert my AC3 save file, the system message "HDD_ADD_NEW_PARTS" appears, and all my heads are missing from the garage. And since I bought all the heads in AC3, there are no heads in the shop either.
So I'm kinda stumped.

>>148947542
What games have Human plus and equivalents?

>>148949750
From AC1 until Silent Line.
Given, some of them must be carried over from a prior game. IIRC, there's no way to get Human Plus in AC2: AA, but you can load a save from AC2 that has it.

>>148949924
So nexus and LR don't have it?
For what purpose? It seems to somehow exist because people complain of every
AC having H+

>>148945602
We can't predict because their development structure is vastly changed after Dark Souls 3. They have a lot more employees and are doing 3 games at once now. So any data about the release dates between 5 and 4 wouldn't help us.

>>148950368
Partially because players complained about it being cheating / making the game too easy

Partially because AC was picking up as a competitive / tournament game at that time

But the real reason? It let them make all the enemies use H+, so the games could be more difficult without having to develop better AI. Aka, final zinaida.

>>148950368
No, there's nothing of the sort in Nexus~LR, only for enemies. Some top-ranked Ravens and AI opponents can use it, but the only way for the player to get it is to use a Gameshark/Action Replay.

I've played from 1 to Silent Line, and got OP-Intensify in AC3. To tell you the truth, the abilities aren't really that cheap, except for using back cannons while moving. For missions and arena, I never needed any of them.

>>148950561
>competitive AC
>most of the online is dead in the water
Final zinaida.
>>148950594
Why was not using then while moving a thing?

>>148951503
Meant: how bad is final zinaida? I heard about how much of a bitch it was.

>>148951503
There wasn't online back in LR. We're talking NX to LR era, aka, fucking over 10 years ago. Has nothing to do with the online now. This was before miyazaki ruined AC.

>>148951672
Infinite energy, perfect tracking, human plus, fastest turning possible, small enclosed area, fast as a lightweight.

Basically, you have to break her legs, go nuts with evasion, or cheese her to get a solid (>50% of your AP) win. There's no honorable way to fight and win with dignity.

>>148951503
To fire back weapons with bipeds, you had to kneel beforehand. With hovers, tanks and quads, you could fire them while moving, BUT couldn't fire them in the air.
With H+ or OP-Intensify, you can fire while moving and even in the air.

The thing is that some back weapons were really strong, which was offset by having to be immobile while firing them. Now imagine fighting one pesky flying AC that kept shooting you with grenades that do 2000+ damage, or worse, the linear gun that does 4000+ damage!

>>148951965
You mean the laser cannon that does 4000+ Damage

The linear cannons were lightweight stunlocking pieces of bullshit in and of themselves

>>148951837
Ah apologies.
I'm now curious about that era then.
I don't mind the current except for online reliability being worse than other games by From.

Yellow points are the release dates, the bars go back to the most recent change in "engine". Blue bars are AC games, orange bars are souls games.

This assumes that DS2 shares the ACV engine and BB is a new engine. Dark souls 2 is a new engine off of DS1, but I don't know if Dark souls 3 is or not.

Actually, Last Raven was the first AC with online.

Well, it depends on the game you're talking about. In 3 and Silent Line, that giant double back laser cannon was called the linear gun and in Nexus onward they add those shell cannon linear guns that make Last Raven so frustrating.

I hear it does, but I wouldn't know because my copy is still shrink wrapped. Isn't the PS2 region locked?

If they're not all in the repository for some reason then I have no idea what to tell you. Try again with a new file?
Or maybe go back to 3, sell one of the lower end heads, save, then try again.

Man, they're really laying it on with this. The choice is going to be heartbreaking.
The others stalking Hayate and Mirage is one of the best things to have happened in this show.

>You mean like searching for it on Amazon?
Exactly. From what i've researched, the PSP game has an "International" tag on the cover, but I haven't seen any of the PS2 ones have anything aside for the Formula Front title.

I'd just like to know that I'm not accidentally ordering the basic PS2 Formula Front in Japanese.

They could print some easy money with an HD release, so yeah it baffles me too why they haven't done it.

Being stuck repeating the same series of mission so you could get money for better parts, later being stuck in later missions because you havent gid gud enough to fight agains the enemies AC or pulverizers, enjoy the rape.

I'm erect.

I got to find a copy and at least play once, then go easy route of nexus saves for alternate ends.

yeah nexus is the easy going buildup and a much comfier game.
even LR's menus feel imposing.

it inserted itself forcefully into my special area and didn't even tell me its name
>Also when are you going to play fucking FM5?
man i don't know i'm super terrible with PS2 emulation unless they've managed to make it more idiot proof than it was a while ago.
i just couldn't get anything to run smoothly and there was so much menu diving that i didn't understand it was driving my crazy
i'll try it out again when i get the urge but i really wish there was a way to play it on my actual PS2.
>Are you get MHX?
i have a strong urge, partially sexual, to get this game however i have so many other games on the backburner that i keep buying and i'm sort of busy these days so i probably shouldn't but i really, really want to.
if you guys convince me to get it then i will. but one thing that i remember reading about MHX is that there was a ton of boring gathering quests that you HAD to do, like more than usual. honestly that bullshit is enough for me to just pass on the game, unless it was changed for the NA release.

Oh, and get back on the team. There's new teammates and new life.

Rate this machine. Trying for lightweight NEXT machine with enough low EN consumption and long range fire while having good speed for evasion.

Did you forget the part that I'm in Yuropoor? I've only got my laptop and 3DS. My only mecha fix is Gigantic Army which I already finished in Easy, but had to use a continue in the last level and that rusted my jimmies so, I'll start again.

>>148973408
Just softmod your PS2 and burn a DVD with the translation patch. I don't even know how to do the first part (bought mine already "chipped")

About MHX, I'd jump too if I know everyone will. I'm kinda burned mi MH4U right now with all the trys to do Guild Quests solo and miserably failing

>>148994152

The only reason I played LR first is because its the first AC game I ever saw in a game store. I had no idea what AC was but I knew it was about giant robots so I had to have it. I'm actually glad it was my first AC game now because after beating it and moving on to the older games, I didn't really have any trouble with them. Also LR was really good about showing me my mistakes and how I was improving by beating missions I couldn't win before and it inspired me to beat the game. S ranking the ultimate pulverizer is probably one of the best feelings you can have.

>There's no honorable way to fight and win with dignity.
>He didn't use a lightweight biped with 2 pistols/machine gun
A fast build with 2 pistols is a great way to wreck a lot of enemy ACs. Sure you can't take as much damage, but you're also faster. And most pistols have good tracking and damage even if they have low ammo

You know I've never thought about it but 4 and FA have mechs which easily break the sound barrier but there's no boom or anything. How saddening, unless it occurs the moment you activate OB.

I'd say switch SOBRERO out for something else with more stability/camera, like Judith. Maybe change the core to SOLUH also, but that's just me being biased. You really don't need all that lock range, go with EKHAZAR for superior parallel processing. I would also reconsider Latona, as you likely want as much turning as possible with a LW using an assault rifle. The Hi Laser could work if you relly try, but it's both heavy and screwed fairly hard by latency. I'd switch to KAMAL for CQ or SAPLA if you like to roll like that.
The booster and generator choices are something I can't understand at all. SCHEDAR is okay I guess, though, again, this is a LW and I would take Holofernes. Not sure about Rachel since I never use it, even though I'm fairly certain that depending on what you want there are way better choices (Aaliyah for quick closing, Judith for easy flight). Lastly I usually just run Latona for back boosters cause all I play is either tanks or CQ LW, so I can't tell you much there. On a mech like this it's probably not that important. Oh, and heavily reconsider Rigel. It has WAY more weight than the next lightest one (Lahire), so either switch over to that or go full Aaliyah on the Gen.
I would also try to figure out what this mech tries to do. You're going to get outgunned by every specialized build in the world. If you want to cover all ranges you probably shouldn't try to make that mech a LW, and if you really wanna do that then at least bring a fourth weapon instead of a radar.
As for tuning go for tuning the arms accuracy, the gens everything, turning, maybe maneuverability of arms. If you want to improve your QB or vertical that could also work. PA rec isn't worth it unless you seriously dump into it.

I'm sorry for rambly but I'm tired AF and just saw your post and felt bad cause all the tripfags were too busy circlejerking and anons were just bumping instead of trying to contribute when there's a discussion topic.

You wot m8? Imagine having an audible sonic boom everytime a NEXT breaks sound barrier.
*boom* *boom* *boom* everytime anything that's not a heavy QBs. Fuck, there's mechs that easily break it just by boosting upward.
