    Way too many reviewers (most previlently the Act man) go into the game assuming it has no story because it's an explosive mech game, fail to pay attention, and then take it as vindication that their assumptions were right. Armoured core 6 has a great story that explores the same themes as the Dark souls games from a different and fascinating angle.

      Its what makes them timeless. Much of the information is lost through time. Fragments and pieces have to be sewn together to form a picture and people can extract countless stories, themes and interpretations out of them. That is why people cannot get enough of it.

      its weird that these reviewers act like there is no story when its the same in souls. You have to piece together the puzzle of the mythos. Its profoundly the case that if you do not indulge in it, you will get nothing. I've had friends who play elden ring and have no clue what I was talking about with the lore. Because they choose to ignore it. From doesn't force the lore on you. You will not experience it if you don't put any effort to it.

      ​@@bocahdongo7769To a degree, 1-3 are less complicated games compared to the others (although with 4/FA I'd say the games aren't too complicated outside of specific tunings), so development time would be longer, especially with the larger shifts in gameplay.
      That said, they would only let Bamco publish DS2 of they did ACV or VD as well, IIRC. And development on AC6 started 5 years after VD released, so I think it's fair to say that while they got hung up on Souls for the most part, AC was never forgotten. I mean, they even put out an AC them out for PS4.

    If I might suggest, try beating Armored Core 6 start to finish with an ultralight build. You will stagger. You will melt... and you are faster than the Ibis. Good luck.
    My exact build that I was able to beat basically every mission with except for the giant worm because the worm guns were too heavy and the second snail fight where I also used double worm gun because he didn't deserve my respect:
    R-Arm: DF-MG-02 Chang-Chen, L-Arm: MG-014 Ludlow, R-Back Vvc-706PM, L-Back Redshift
    Head: Shade Eye, Body: Alba, Arms Lammergeier/46F, Legs: Firmeza
    Booster: IB-CO3B NGI 001
    FCS: IB-C03F WLT 001
    Generator: VP-20C
    Expansion: Terminal Armor
    Or build the ultralight however you want. With my AC the general strategy is to just always fire vertical plasma because the tracking is stupid and use crazy speed to avoid damage while plinking away at the enemy. Then, when they break, hit em with melee. Super simple gameplan but man is it thrilling when you're *that* fast.

    @Simon-fc9hg 2 місяці тому +7

    So as far as recommended titles go, here are a few I got for you. Note however that every AC veteran has differing opinions on which gams are the best.
    Armored Core 3 - Probably the most iconic title in the series. You will recognize the art style from this game and several frame parts that were brought back for Armored Core VI. Note however that this game does not use dual stick controls, so turning and strafing are actual buttons you need to press.
    Armored Core Last Raven - The final title in the Armored Core 3 series of expansions. The difficulty of this title is quite a bit higher than most Armored Core games, but it is a very enjoyable experience. This is also the only game in the series to feature component damage, so you can have limbs blown off your AC!
    Armored Core For Answer - IMO this is a much better title than AC4, but the same goes for pretty much ever expansion when compared to their base game. This title is faster than AC4 and some of the Arms Fort boss fights are so memorable and iconic that the series keeps paying homage to them to this day.
    Armored Core Verdict Day - The expansion to Armored Core V. 5th gen is unique in that it is a more tactical shooter take on the Armored Core formula. A lot of mechanics from ACVI have their infancy in this generation, such as staggering, boost kicking, drift turning and scanning. Although Verdict Day is excellent, the game is almost as difficult as Last Raven is for a newcomer, so make sure you learn how defense stats work in this generation!

    But the more you die the more abilities you start getting so its a way to make the gane easier but its written into the lore that you start to become Human+ but the game is cryptic about it.

    If you're gonna try the 3rd gen after playing 4A, you should play them in this order:
    -3
    -Silent Line (carry over the save)
    -Nexus (optional)
    -Last Raven (CARRY OVER THE SAVE FROM NEXUS IF YOU PLAYED IT)
    in 3 and SL you're gonna be thrown for a loop with the oldgen controls, they do not use the twin sticks for moving and turning. But believe me, it's worth it to learn them (also you can edit them on the options to make them a bit more sane: swap the strafing and turning from shoulders to d-pad and you should be good) and the 3-Silent Line duology is amazing in plot, gameplay and general vibes. Nexus and LR will allow you to use twin sticks again, but both get MUCH harder than the previous two, which you'll probably find pretty easy after 4th and 6th gen. Last Raven has the infamy that it has in the community for a reason, but it's still a great game.

    Glad you like the game. I was very happy with the game, but this wasnt my first game in the series. That honor belongs to Verdict Day. Though I also emulated the older games get a feel for them.
    Just an FYI for Gens 1 and 2 games, you do need to be in debt for any benefits. This includes better radar, laser blade waves like Moonlight in AC6 (tip, press the slash button and immediately hit the boost button), and to stand up while firing the heavy back units.
    Gens 3 do have OP Intesify. However, you need to beat the game and re do some missions and arena fights in AC3 after completing the game. While Silent Line you need 99% and S ranks. However, Nexus and Last Raven you dont have OP-I without cheats.
    If you do plan on playing Gen 5 with ACV and VD, play ACV first if you want as it's very beginner friendly. Granted, grinding for the store to expand is also a chore itself. Still it does help you get a quick feel with the controls for gen 5. Or go straight to VD, but be prepared to grind for money in the game. As for the store expanding, you need to get S ranks and complete the mission sub objectives. Where in ACV, reaching 50 is a grind, you can complete the story missions does help out a lot. But your choice.

    Armored Core 3 and Silent Line are both great. I highly recommend you play those two next after For Answer. The default controls are jank, but the game does have button mapping in its options menu, or you can use emulator remapping if you like. There are guides online to give the older games analog controls on emulators.
    Last Raven is my favorite entry that isn't AC6, but I'd recommend playing most of the rest of the series before tackling that one. The controls in it are great, but it's also literally one of the hardest games From Software has ever made. It's an amazing experience though with highly varied branching paths, six endings, and an insane amount of parts. It's the definitive game for old-school Armored Core customization.
    For Answer is incredible, and I actually think it has my favorite world building in the series. AC6's plot is better, but the global power struggle and shadow operations going on in the fourth gen games are so intriguing. Those mission briefing videos are great.

You could try Armoured Core 5 it's a mixed bag some people like it some really don't so it's up to you but it's a good lead into AC Verdict day, which is a surprisingly solid game and has some fun references to AC4 and For Answer.

    Definitely have to play the 3rd gen games. I feel like Silent Line is the best AC game of the older gen games (1-3). Some don’t like AC5 and Verdict Day. I personally love VD but I can understand why some don’t like the gen 5 games - especially in your case where you’ll be coming of probably the two fastest AC games

    Hard agree with Arquebus Balteus being the best boss.
    Its an actually good refight of an old boss with new moves abd kitted out with sick new energy weapons like the awesome plasma beam cannons.
    Snail's VA does such an incredible job of getting you motivated to kill him. His snobby bad mouthing is as entertaining as it is good at making him easy to hate.
    And all of this while the best track in the OST is blasting at nax volume in the background.

    I'd recommend the gen 1 games (AC original, master of arena, and project phantasma) it's 3 games but the narrative of all 3 are connected as one experience. If you do play them though, I would advise against using the default control scheme. I would remap it so that you use the face buttons as a second d pad to control the camera.

    If you ever stuck on any part of the game: dual Zimmerman + songbird or if already unlocked dual stun needles.
    It doesn’t matter who is road blocking you. Just use the universal key.
    If it’s to meta for you even all the nerfs.
    Dual plasma + dual laser canon ( back ) or songbirds are also very reliable in clearing road blocks 😄

    You should definitely play armored core verdict day, many people say that it is one of the worst in the series but once you really understand the bases of the game you realize that it is perfectly designed to be played more strategically, in my opinion I would not say that it is the best armored core but in terms of mechanics I would say that it is the most successful and balanced.

    I’d say Armored Core 3 is good gateway drug into the older style of gameplay that AC games had back before proper dual analog. Armored Core Games tend to reboot every few games, so AC3 is basically a rewritten AC1/PP/MOA Story with different Characters and Vibes overall, a good taste of the older style.
    I’ve been through nearly every game in the series, and the only one I’ve really disliked so far is Last Raven. Not because it’s bad but because it’s the most difficult Video Game I’ve ever played in my entire life XD
    So if you ever do play through all the games in the series I’d save that for when you’re a fully fledged Raven at the end of your journey, because it kicks you while you’re down quite a bit, especially on the Harder Routes.

  • @ZectorV1
    @ZectorV1 2 місяці тому +1

    Classic Armored core is always cool just for seeing where the series came from and having some iconic series stuff.
    Aside from the original my favorites that are worth playing are probably (in order)
    4a(4 attatched here but 4a better)
    Last Raven
    Nexus
    Silent Line
    Nine Breaker
    2
    Master of the Arena
    VD (5 and VD are kinda controversial ish but theyre really neat, especially if youve played the rest of the series. VD *PARTICULARLY* so if youve played 4 and 4a )
    There is something to get from all of them and theyre not incredibly long. If you go on a huge binge the only one id say to avoid is Formula Front only because its an autobattler gimmick game. Interesting for game history's sake but not that fun to actually play.

    This game is a 10/10 GOTY 2023 and best action game that I played in a while. Laser dagger is the most op melee in the game btw. I like the fact that any Ac that you can make you can make it work and beat the game with anything and for me the best AC I made is a light weight with the dual Sampu with a huxley on the right shoulder and the laser dagger switch on the left and just by going crazy fast you stagger so fast on anything that the assault armor is a most for maximum dps. or in 3v3 just get anything a bit more tankier and get aoi gun. This is a video game movie. Hopefully we get a dlc I want to play more but I completed everythings in this game all ending all achievement so only the pvp is what make this replayable for me rn.

    AC6 was my GOTY over Baldur's Gate 3, sorry guys. I think AC6 has better story, better combat, and even better characters despite most of them simply being voices. BG3 has a lot less linearity for sure, but on all the things that matters most I think AC6 blows BG3 out of the water, and I was always thought Larian was criminally underrated while From Soft was criminally overrated, but AC6 made me rethink that entirely. At least with those two games, for me, the reverse is true. I think AC6 was significantly better, and that's not a slight to BG3, it is a testament to how underrated AC6 actually is.
