Unfortunately you missed out on playing online, which is what AC5 is focused on. The servers were shut down a few years ago, so you're missing out on a few parts of the game.

Always glad to see new players though! Feel free to ask any questions you have, and if you like AC5, I definitely recommend picking up Armored Core Verdict Day (preferably on PS3, since that's where most of the players are)

>>180775768
Eh, it isn't like I have xbox live gold anyway so even if the servers were still up my situation wouldn't have been any different haha (I only just got myself an xbox 360 and I currently don't have a PS3 so I have A LOT of catching up to do)

>>180775967
If you do end up getting ACV's sequel game, Verdict Day, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to grab a PS3, as to allow yourself to play online. PS3 games do not require PS+ to play online, and the PS3 servers for VD, especially the Japanese one, are much more active than Xbox.

>>180776846
Oh don't get me wrong I'm planning on picking up a PS3 at some point (especially before they vanish off the face of my country since the PS3 got discontinued in New Zealand in mid 2015 for some wacko reason) and I'll try snag myself a copy of Verdict Day when I do

>It's ok when from software does it
>it's not ok when anon does it

And then you attempt to go in-depth on way it's a bad idea when really it's just that your brain is just programmed to NOT like it because anon is making it.


I could be employeed at FROM, find the TOPSECRET Armored Core 6 files that uncover all the plans for AC6 and by default you would tell me that it's the worst thing you have ever heard in your entire life.

>>180817780
Still terrible.

>>180817780
From never did it like that. Faceless progagonists, not being related to the game's characters, and being the OPPOSITE of ZoE is what makes AC unique.They never gave your character a name, never made them related to others, and NEVER did anything remotely ZoE gameplay or mech design.

Let me fix this for you, assuming that From is dumb enough to revisit 4th gen's story:
>main character is a faceless protagonist
>Rank 1 is encountered only once in the early game, and builds up to beating them as a final boss. They're a 20 year old woman who claims ancestry to white glint, but there's no proof and they're obviously obsessed with white glint and delusional about how great he was. She pilots a current-gen build that is designed to copy what they think white glint's AC actually looked like. Her obsession is misguided, but makes her a dangerous threat to the corporations that control all the other ravens.
>There are no NEXTs, there are a few company builds but the vast majority of ACs are mix-and-matched mercenary builds of individual parts.
>Three routes:
>Prove your strength to her and become one of her acolytes, destroying the corporations to secure her "line ark" copy. Without the corporations there's complete and utter chaos and ravens begin killing each other senselessly for resources as society breaks down
>Follow the corporations and become indoctrinated into blind hatred for the copy "line ark", only to be faced with killing the entire population for the 'greater good'.
>Either path can be abandoned at the last minute, incurring the wrath of both groups as you become a powerful mercenary without a purpose anymore. So they make peace with each other in exchange for a plan to destroy you.

The best way to revisit 4th gen is to make a game that makes a meta commentary on how so many 4th gen players didn't understand what makes AC unique and just treated it as a playable anime, kind of like how MGS2 was designed to talk about MGS

AC2 was the first time they really started getting meta, what with the whole "The main villain is the player character from the previous game" thing. Silent line got kinda meta too since it was about exploring an alternate society where the player character failed and AI actually did take over.

But there's not much you can really do with 4th gen to keep it not-cliche', especially if you want to avoid anime tropes.

also the other anon wanted it more like ZoE which is WAY more meta than AC has ever been

>No plus
Berlioz. Grenades are so powerful in AC4 that equipping two of them is enough to cheese every single mission, and his dual rifles are actually exceptional. Special consideration to White Glint, but I won't count him since he's got deliberately overpowered parts (especially on reg. 1.0 where you can just spam spread missiles all the time.)

However, both of those don't really count because they still have PLUS/NEXT capabilities, so third on my list would probably be Silent Line's AC, given that he uses the extremely overpowered stealth extensions along with a karasawa.

>w/Plus OW
AC2's, given that he equips the karasawa. He would win the top place too Even if you are required to kneel to use the laser cannon, but I think his build is overweight which is why I'm not counting it for a non-plus build.

>>180856916
Nah, AC has a legitimately interesting series of dystopian worlds in each game.

The whole idea of an AI-controlled corporatocracy with an elite mercenary middle class is rather novel, and it makes a lot of sense given the context of the game mechanics.

>>180856916
>just have plots to justify robot fights
Raven, please. Just because you aren't interested doesn't mean I'm the same.

>>180856916
>>180857405
>>180860407
I think the three of you misunderstand. The Reason AC has such a good plot is because it's so minimal. It understands that ultimately the player is here to fight robots and make his own badass towering mechanical monster. Nobody came here for the "deep lore" or "epic writing." Those are just flavor packets ontop of the main course.

>>180867543
Yeah, I think we're confusing "in depth" with "Creative"

AC plot isn't "in depth" but it's very creative backstory and flavor. It's not the main selling point of the series and definitely not a priority over gameplay though, except for maybe ACFA, which seemed to emphasize the storyline more than the actual gameplay.

>>180867543
>The Reason AC has such a good plot is because it's so minimal.
I want to argue this point but I'm no literary expert and am probably going to agree with >>180868936

I'll be damned if I say going through V/VD's story modes wasn't amazing, but the problem is I'm looking at the story mode as a whole, and not just the plot. I feel it hasn't been given the praise it deserves, regardless.

>Nobody came here for the "deep lore" or "epic writing."
I may not have came here for it but I'm staying for it.

>>180868936
>except for maybe ACFA

And even then is pretty minimal.

Do enemy ACs in V/VD actually get affected by the status effect weapons like jammers/flash rockets?

I tried the out against the test AC and I didn't really notice any degradation in his accuracy, movement, etc.

Also, CIWS or your own weapon? I find it difficult to justify using CIWS when I could (usually) boost around to avoid missiles and missing that extra simultaneous firepower just makes my minmax autism itch like crazy.

Why are mid-weight biped ACs the best ACs?

>>180883681
CIWS is situational. Against some missiles it's completely necessary, especially if going up against missile boat ACs like the pizza box AS missiles or motherwill.

Jammers do affect enemy ACs, but AI targeting is based on your position, not their lock on. You can see this effect by programming a UNAC. They don't really pay attention to lock on and instead just track the enemy manually. What lock time jammers can do however is prevent them from actually getting lock on so their weapons won't lead you.

The reason you don't see a difference is because the test AC lock on time is fast enough that even high jammers won't cause him to avoid lock on.

Obviously recon jammers won't work, since AI doesn't use recons.

Other jammers like movement or stability jammers work against AI pretty well too, but you have to stack a few of them.

>>180884286
Because it's more important not to lack weaknesses than it is to do one or two things really well. Jack of All Trades is the best AC design for every game except maybe ACV/VD, where reaction-time min-max builds rule.

>>180883681
CIWS is very easy to justify in team fights.
I still miss Taka. Poor Sheild never got his vengeance.

How do I get good at blading post gen3? I don't know what it is, but I've literally never been capable of landing consistent hits in gen 4 or gen 5. Enemy AC's are too airborne and almost never allow me even a second to put this silly melee weapon into them. I've been a permanent shooter ever since, but I'd like to learn how to handle the opposite end of the spectrum.

>>180883681
I've tested flash rockets, many AC's don't fire if they have their FCS turned off. Some will, however, and the issue is that they automatically lock directly onto you. Their accuracy will be poor because the FC isn't tracking your native movement, but they will still shoot directly "at" you, if that makes sense.

>>180885573
It's because there's a specific programming for UNAC/AI where it determines if they compensate for flash rockets or not. If that setting is turned on, that AI will still fire as if it has blue-lock when they are hit by flash rockets

>>180885171
It really depends on the game.

Starting in AC4/FA, blades have lock on. For 4th gen, the game will guide your AC toward them. So what you do is you boost forward and line it up like a joust.

For AC5/VD, it depends on your leg type but you generally can't trust the animations on your screen. There's a lock on but your AC won't boost toward them, it will just angle the blades toward the enemy. KE blades and pile drivers have no lock on, and are actually easier to hit with as a result. Assume that the laser blades ONLY hit directly in front of you, and line up the center of your core with the enemy.

Best way to hit with blades in ACV/VD is to use the dual energy weapon shoulder units that extend the blade length, and lightweigh legs that do the "clothesline" attack. Use glide boost and blade out of glide boost so that you sweep across a wide area, and rely on maps that are mostly on the ground.

For aerial enemies, kicks, piles, and KE blades are generally better.

I would practice kicking before trying to tackle blades in ACV/VD.

>>180885171
I've literally never been able to use blades in any AC. Not in missions, not in Arena. Not in any gen AC I've ever played. Don't even get me started on that newfangled "pile driver"-type weapons.

>>180887947
I feel you desu. I only really ever used blades to save ammo on enclosed maps against slow targets, or in 4th gen against the giant bosses. I almost never use them against ACs.

Bomp

How much resources would it cost in the real world for a NEXT to travel 4 hours via boosters alone? Basically from one city to another like a 757 Jet.

Would that be like 20+ years of NASA's budget?

>>180893572
Assuming that the normal NEXT boosters run based off the generator which supplies what I would guess is effectively infinite energy (or close to it), not much.

>>180893572
The cost of an environmental impact report.
And I suppose the cost of whatever that environmental impact is.

>>180893572
Assuming we're talking about a world fueled by Kojima particles and wherein the generator literally produces infinite (or at least seemingly infinite) energy, it would probably cost extremely little. The real cost is the upkeep on the boosters after the trip.

>>180893572

>>180955919
The biggest thing is that you go back to having only a portion of your screen that locks on instead of the "full screen but middle is better" thing.
Energy is less plentiful, but VD still gives you a lot to work with.
Mobility is also a thing. Going fast requires good jumping and knowing where your next jump point is before you make that jump. There's a lot less midair control.
Oh, and the defense system, but I'm not sure if you're asking about that or not.

5th gen is an entirely different game from 4th gen, and from the rest of the AC series as a whole. You either love it for all the innovations it brings, or you hate it for being different. I've never met a single person who was in the middle of those two.

Technically, Cascade Dance is the main protagonist of the game, and his virtual arena self is just a copy. Kind of like how the protagonist for ACMOA is Leos Klein, but itd be silly to fight him in the same game.

Can you guys imagine the motion sickness from a vr cockpit view remake of FA?

>>181014397
What is this from? One thing is fighthing the MC of a previous game like leos and white glint, but fighting yourself on the same game? And this will make cascade range one of the strongest pilots on the franchise

Find me the nigger who made Defeat the Spirit of Motherwell Hard mode and fucking hang him pls.
How do you even deal with those damn missiles to not get horrifically murdered.

>>181027070
>git gud
But in all seriousness, use Motherwill's own bulk against her, hide, take out the missile launcher pods first once you get in close, then blade the main body and cannons.

>>181027785
That shit will hit me even when I'm under the machine. Main issue is trying to not get hit hard enough to get S rank.

Do you consider it cheating to acquire H+ in the 1st gen games? In the 2nd gen games? 3rd gen had OP-INTENSIFY, so it was a part of the game, but is it cheating if it's built into the game for 1st and 2nd gen? The only way to get H+ in 3.5th gen is through cheating, but all the enemy ACs have it so is it really cheating?

>>181028263
Either learn to use the radar to avoid them, use flares and use a light weigth to quickly move around taking out the missile launchers

You really need to let it die guys. Get a Skype/discord group or whatever. Must be taxing to always have to bump every hour or less just to keep it alive.
New AC never ever

>>181037557
>AC Discord
There are already 7 or 8, and a new one gets made every week, when someone gets butthurt and wants to be the cool kid. And spoiler, none of them actually maintain conversation about AC.

>>181009272
>Note, many, many people bitch about this
Any examples? I found the 3-way defenses to be great in the singleplayer aspect. It basically demands you make and test a bunch of new AC setups, whereas usually I find that I can use 1 build for most of the game in other AC games.

>>181037791

Not him, but really? What is there to be butthurt about? I hope it's not any of the trips. Also I would love to join the AC Discord.

I'm secretly in love with B Ranker. He's my waifu

Virtual arena, anon. Kind of like how you fight Zinaida in it, even though she hates your guts and would kill you at the first opportunity.

Anyone else ever try clearing FA with only melee weapons and Assault Armour?

Would acg mind a Souls crossover if it used Escaflowne style fantasy mecha?
Because I think that'd be the shit.

>>181084417
I get why people think it's cool, but I'll always consider it retarded for a mech to "hold" a blade. The purpose of it holding guns is so that it can be customizable for long range. It just feels impractical, which I know is a dumb thing to complain about in a fantasy world of robots. At the least I prefer the blade to be installed onto the arm itself, like a laser blade or a pile bunker, something that says "we repurposed this from a drilling weapon and it's pretty functional at combat."

>>181084614
>The purpose of it holding guns is so that it can be customizable for long range.
just throw the sword nigga like a javelin

>>181084614
Wouldn't it be better to just have all guns as arm units for more stable firing then?

>>181084614
>this busta wants an MT instead of an AC

>>181086925
AC grand strategy when?
You start off making MTs, progress to Normals, then at the end you can pop out a couple of NEXTs.

>>181088891
Turn based strategy when.

>>181089994
What about
Armored Core P2Win MMO
You're fighting in your Normals and some rich asshole comes flying in with a NEXT

>>181089994
I keep saying that a RTS can fit AC setting really good.

>>181092317
If its trying to be like an actual AC game, it'd end up being heavy in the micromanaging department. Then we also have the problem of an AC that is better than the rest.

>>181086925
>>181086112
In a way this is why weapon arms are so cool.

>>181045287
>What is there to be butthurt about?
Typical bullshit. Someone wants to spam chats with links and porn and shit, they get banned/removed/etc. and go off to make a 'non-Nazi channel'.

Or sometimes people just plain argue over stupid shit, like trash talking, and one person leaves, and makes their own little safe haven/echo chamber, and invites all their friends, who invite their friends, and so the cycle never ends.

If there's one thing I've learned over the years, about the AC fanbase, it's that a lot of them will flip shit over the tiniest of things, and arguments tend to happen more frequently than meaningful discussion.

>>181101382
if this is true, how and why is this general alive?

Mostly because there aren't many personalities, most posts are anonymous and a good portion of named posts are just bumps.

>>181102749 and that too

>>181102127
Because we're a small community, and we can't afford to alienate eachother over petty differences. That's what the corporations want. I still feel bad over getting a hate mail from some random guy and assuming it was from Enders, while throwing a bitch fit about it. I still have to live that down and atone for it, but continue to skirt on the graces of good manners, so imagine how bad it would be if we weren't such a tight knit community.

I was lucky I barely scraped it and got an S with that idea. Damn framerate with the macross missile barrage just made movement and evasion a bitch too.
Thank god for the Carpals wall cheesing also. Snipers are pretty good for that.

So why can't our ACs just punch the enemy as a melee option and must use a blade to do so?

>AC is not what I thought it was all along

You all have been covering the truth from me this. I ALWAYS had the vision that ACbros were one mind, one soul. They were brothers till the end. They were a safe heaven. Comfy. And I always wanted to be apart of this because it's the only place where everyone appears to get along and want to see they community live on another day.

This place is void filled with lies. The crimes committed by these anons.... shall not go unpunished. I no longer respect you anons, you all are now the enemy.

And SHUT UP! SHUT. UP. Nothing is going to change my mind now that I know the truth.

I never knew how much I wanted a moment like this in an AC game until now. The closest we got was the large assault in AC2 and maybe in AC3.

Just beat the Levanthine ending of Last Raven, I'm digging the ending song a lot, does anybody know the name of the track?

>>181009272
>I've never met a single person who was in the middle of those two.
I'm actually quite okay with how different the game is from the rest, but I am pretty miffed that I have 1 less shoulder weapons, feel that the new boosting system feels pretty wonky and imprecise, especially when compared to how it used to be (but I love the wall jump being an extremely efficient mobility technique).

Is that middle enough for you? I think that's pretty much middle. Nice to meet you.

>>181022317
I doubt a truRaven™ would find it unappealing. Indeed, that motion sickness would probably increase the immersion!

>>181042009
I consider it an RP challenge to build a single "main AC" and use to to finish every mission with it. If I fail at it, it's only because I wasn't skillful enough.

Also, UNACs are cheating (and sucks up reward credits like crazy) so I don't like using them.

>>181148314
The same reason why it's not really a good idea to punch someone/something with your bare hands.

>>181182481
This desu. Building an allrounder AC and going through the whole game with it, or starting with the basic and only making incremental upgrades as you get enough credits while staying true to the same overall design.

>>181184747
Pixie 3 with ammo increasing parts. Easy clear.

>>181185625
Pixie 2*

>>181184747
I mostly do this in all games, in any case I change weapon the most, but the frame remains the same most of the times, only specific missions make change the frame, either for shit like water missions like on 3rd gen or because a special weapon type is really favored on that mission (like snipers or blades)

>>181129702
Why doesn't no one do that much?
All those support enemy ACs going to waste
>>181183124
>The same reason why it's not really a good idea to punch someone/something with your bare hands.
>not doing that
What are you, a faggot?

>>181194901
This too, for me.

And I can't possibly be the only one who favors looks over function, can I? My main AC right now is still using outdated everything (except internals) because I haven't come across an equally good looking part with better stats. Yeah, it causes me some suffering while doing missions clearly made for other builds, but at least my soul remains pure.
