If your not paying attention or actually reading the missions, Armored core will casually have the player unknowingly commit war crimes for the sake of money.
@Lone1Wolf8 if you end up playing Fires of Rubicon and find it difficult early on, don't let that push you away. The game and events during is just really really good. Gameplay is very fun too. :)
The Armoured Core games are pity scary when you notice the games don't usually show you people or faces, just corporate logos and pilot call signs. It's way easier to lay waste a mega structure, its power generators and its defensive elements for a fat corpo pay cheque, when you don't ever slow down to consider you just obliterated thousands of people doing it.
@@bruhlordofthemoment True, tho it is one of the few times in the franchise everyone stops fighting in a century's long war to unite and kill a common enemy..... you.
@@artistcomplex Yeah, hardest fight of the series imo. Though I wonder what would have happened if they succeeded in killing us. Would they start fighting again? Or maybe because of fighting a common enemy, they would be willing to talk things out?
@@bruhlordofthemoment it was more like 100 million by the end of the mission once you destroyed all the cradles, and yup you never give it a second thought while humming a catchy tune to yourself listening to your hype man on the comms. it's not a warcrime if you're having fun nor is it genocide if nobody lives to rat you out.
I love it around 1:00 when Keanu is in the snow, you can barely tell it's CGI it looks so real. Pretty much all these episodes went hard, #4, 5 and 8 were the best IMO
Bit of an Armored Core Vet here. Just for a bit of context: in AC6 (what this episode is loosely based on) it’s soon revealed that the voice in the pilot’s head is an actual consciousness from years ago, among millions of others, who fused with the planet’s natural energy source (coral) through a world-ending event. It was like a million-to-one chance of it happening and now the pilot and ‘voice’ are melded together due to the pilot being exposed to coral by other means.
I've been meaning to check that out. I was reading a book by Joe R Landsdale and in one of his notes regarding a story, he mentions how that particar story was also featured in Love Death and Robots. I'll have to remember to throw it on for a watch later when I have the chance. :)
I think this has a lot of complex layers -- yes, Keanu may have been wanting to eliminate "competition", but I think the wounded pilot was also asking to die. If you look at the way his hand is posed, he wasn't reaching out to stop, but to guide the impact to the side of his head and ensure that he didn't survive to suffer further.
According to some hints from one of the writers for the show, this episode was originally meant to be about Dolmayan and his coral wave mutation, Seria. It was changed to be more appealing to audiences who haven’t played ac6, but some elements still remain such as the photo he drops having writing on it saying, “Forged in ash we stand as one.”
Really it can't be. 621 gets Ayre at the Watchpoint. Plus, she didn't really act that vain. Also having a voice in your head isn't as feature of gen 4 augmentation and gen 4s are just outdated in every way. You can make the case that all lower gens are crazy good pilots, 621, Iguazu, Sulla, but really the best pilot narratively is Freud who is unaugment so the whole augmentation thing isn't so crazy just being a legendary pilot can't trump it. That and there isn't a gen 4 production facility on Rubicon. I can see a gen 1 but 4 doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
The robots in the Armored Core series, Armored Core, are not heroes or characters with a will like other franchises, and while you can see the human warmth in the eyes of the Gundam and Transformers robots, Armored Core has none of that. Armored Core is just pure violence, destroying everything. Armored Core is truly a weapon of destruction. You should play Armored Core.

does it affect the story? like a choice system?
Yes@@Lone1Wolf8

Easier to kill 10 million people when all you see are huge airplanes and have a dude hyping you up as you do it lol

EXACTLY my thoughts, those three were a cut above the rest
I had this episode playing and someone else was watching and they didn't realize it was cgi for a couple minutes.

"There’s a lady in my head who calls me stud muffin."
Keanu's character went full on Villain in the end.
Went full Johnny silverhand
Backstabbing and betrayal is just another day in AC world 😂
Nah, man. Full Raven.
All of this really makes sense when you consider, no ai, even a trapped one would want another ai around
You probably already know, but the next half of the series comes out December 17th. So we'll half more episodes very soon 😎 🔥
Keanu went full johnny silverhand at the end 😂
That was aura 5:06
Y'all gotta watch Love Death and Robots it's made by the same people that made this show. It's lowkey underrated 👌🏾💯

"That's a famous painting", no brother he MADE him a famous painting.
So is Keanu the same as Raven from AC6 or is he a different Raven
It's not confirmed and will never be, but the VA for the voice inside his head is the same as Ayre. So read it how you will.

its a different pilot and it is not a raven, its just a pilot with augmentations like 621 probably, thats why he also can hear a coral voice
A commenter said that he's with Rubicon Liberation Front, which is different from AC6's 621

Johnny Mnemonic
While watching the beginning of the episode, I was thinking that's Case from Neuromancer. Oh well...
