I decided to pick up the new Armored Core. It's... pretty fun! I was a bit worried because Fromsoft has been making the same game over and over for a long time now. You can definitely see some elements that got carried over, but I don't think it's really a bad thing. I do have some gripes with it, mostly with the movement and the massive difficulty gap between bosses and normal stages, but I'm still enjoying it. It's pretty cool. Anyone else playing it or any of the other games?
I'd love to play it but I think I'm gonna hold off for a bit and knock out some of the older entries first.
Armored Core 4A is one of my favourite games so I'm really excited to play this one. But I can't yet due to real life circumstances.
>>14773 Armored Core 4A is one of the best damn games I've ever played, and I've played a lot.
>>14771 I am. Best mecha game since Virtual On.
From Software's gameplay loop is getting a wee predictable; still good though.
Trying out the first Armored Core. The controls are a bit weird, but understandable with the limitations of a PS1 controller. It's kind of neat though. I'd imagine mechs are pretty awkward to pilot for the uninitiated. The actual setting is cool too. It's a much more living world. The first few missions are pretty simple, but it makes sense for a rookie to take on weak enemies. Some aspects make the game a bit more engaging than AC6. The normal enemies are way more durable, some mission have environmental hazards to keep in mind, and actual punishment for failures mean you have to tackle obstacles with some thought. I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop and hopefully getting good enough to pull myself out of poverty.
An unexpected revival. I was worried that it would be bad, but this game really blew me away. It became one of my favourite games in the entire Armored Core series even. There are some things I don't like, mainly hard lock and the way stagger works in PVP, but the rest of the game is amazing. The story is gripping and the soundtrack is also fitting. I at first was skeptical of the new ambient sounding OST until I heard Rusted Pride. Stargazer was a really nice ending song too. Disk 3 also came with a lot of remakes of music from the older games and I loved it. This is an AC I made during my first playthrough and used to beat the final boss of NG++, called LUNA DIAL. I had fun. Will look forward to the next entry and meanwhile play some of the old games I skipped.
Still playing through the old games. I really enjoy them. Played through Gen 1 twice, Placed AC2 and most of 2AA. Replaying 3 on emulator now because I didn't want to play Silent Line on my Vita, though I might just play them on my PS2 because it's freely playable there. I'm super excited to play 4 and For Answer when I get to those. >>15110 I just made a similar AC to yours today, though it isn't very effective as it's made purely for style. The extra coloring is rough. I'm no pro at it, and the system they have is strange. I'd like to put more details on the head.
