Ayre won btw.
Would you pay $20 for this?
>>22613230hell yeah
>>22613238Me too. Hence purchasing it. Man there were a lot of Noblesse Oblige, Barbaroi, Nineball=Seraph and RIP 3/Ms sitting on the shelves in different shops and all priced higher than our boy Evangel's rig. Give us more releases of playable old gen ACs, you fucks. Where's my Fascinator and Cronus models?Off topic but the most funny thing I saw in this store in particular was a pre-owned Igawa Sakura fig only 75% off the non-owned one. I'm not touching that thing, I've seen the threads on /gif/
>>22613182Sources for videos and webms of godd and/or interesting gameplay from all armored core games?
>>22613389Celtic spear on youtube, he uploads 4th and 5th gen pvp stuff if that's what you want.
Yes, yes... everything according to keikaku...
>>22613216Shut up
Can I emulate any preAC6 title just fine if my machine has an i5 9600k and a 2060 super? The framerate would be capped at 60 fps correct?
>>22613533
Of course I posted in the wrong thread. I can't tell if I'm new and bad or if this is the game's doing. Every other match getting nailed by phantom ranged hits despite qb'ing every direction. I can't tell if I'm losing/winning due to skill or latency.
>>22613635yeah it looks like a latency issuei've got a wired connection so i don't end up seeing a lot of phantom range damage
>>22613537your specs are overkill. play the games in Software mode using the latest DuckStation, PS2 Nightly build, and Xenia for AC5 and ACVDgrab dual analog patched romsXenia needs a specific build for AC5 and ACVD otherwise they crash during missions
>>22613591Literally me on the left
>>22613664Your wired connection is shit then.The one with the worse connection gets the netcode advantage.
>>22613798it depends on who's hosting honestlyi tested it out with a guy in the sticks and he couldn't get me at all
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x6LdsMM1aQ
>>22613635Because network delay exists, you don't dodge online by reacting to and evading shots, but by predictively evading before the shot comes. When someone QBs, it throws off tracking for a fraction of a second which means that there's a window during and after your dodge where any shot fired will aim wrong. The bigger your QB, the more wrong they will aim. The worse their FCS, the longer it will take to stop aiming wrong after that QB.Hit detection is attacker-sided, which means if your opponent sees their shot connect, it connects and if you see your shot connect, it connects. When you shoot your shot the interval it takes to reach your opponent is essentially fixed, there's no latency. But the time it takes for that shot to be communicated to their game, for them to react and dodge, and for their dodge action to be communicated to your game is determined by network conditions and latency. Even under good conditions it's pretty rare that the dodge action will arrive in time for the attacker to see it before their shot connects, so dodging online is basically entirely predictive and based on using patterns of QBs, ABs and hops to forcibly break a track and keep it disrupted when your opponent wants to shoot.
what are your favorite missions for screenshots? is it for a specific reason like lighting or the environmental design?also, post your ACs.
>>22614187Also to expand on this the full flow of netcode is essentially:Attacker attacks and sends a superficial message to the defender saying "I attacked" which causes the defender to render a superficial animation of the attack.Attacker's attack flies through the air and connects with the defenderAttacker sends defender a message saying "I hit you"Defender receives the message and checks a couple things like if they were in a valid state (ie not invincible/dead), how much defense they have etc. and calculates the damage taken. The defender applies the result of this attack to themselves, then sends a message updating their AP/stagger status to the attackerThe attacker receives this message and sees their damage pop up and the defender's AP diminishThis has a number of implications:As the defender, the projectiles you see are superficial. Whether you dodge them or not is irrelevant, the outcome is already decided.Because the defender's state is checked before damage is resolved, Shields and Core Extensions can negate attacks that already hit you. This also means that parrying is more reliable in latency than dodging. Under normal circumstances, communications are timed such that the timing of the fake projectile you see arriving and the damage communication from the attacker resolving are in sync, which allows for parrying without latency. However if the connection is unstable, these things may be out of sync.If the connection is very poor, the defender can negate damage by simply not receiving the corresponding communication. Any damage packet that gets lost or corrupted in transit is damage that is not done. This contributes to it sometimes feeling very difficult to damage some players with poor connections.
do you think Rokumonsen joined the RLF before or after he started working with ALLMIND?i'm trying to come up with a pre-ALLMIND build for him
>>22614432Considering he’s using a full Firmeza beyond the two Allmind parts I’d assume he probably was just a Rubiconian native mercenary.
>>22614493three ALLMIND parts, actually. JVLN-B, MIND ALPHA core, and then the HMMR. i'm asking because i'm deciding between using BASHO and MELANDER for the core instead of FIRMEZA because my instincts are telling me he used a medium core beforehand too. BASHO even has a vertical stack booster setup, like the MIND ALPHA. MELANDER looks good on him though. And it visually reminds me of the other assassin pilot, Coldcall.
>>22614177It's because they're too long. The shot starts from the end of the barrel so if they're clipping through to the other side of the other AC they don't do shit. A known "issue" since release.
Are there any catch behind 4A's weapon arms aside from them being kinda ugly?Im using Eklah-arms and they have shitload of ammo, hit like a truck and i can easily shit whatever's on my shoulder if i need to
>>22614836The stats they give you compared to normal arms are hot ass.
>>22614836They tend to have poor defensive stats in exchange for good weapon handling. Eklahs are just super good for singleplayer, though. Very safe choice.
i got a win against an S-ranker as an unranked pilot let's fucking gooooooo
>>22614210The test area. There's opportunities for good screenshots in pretty much every mission to be desu. Destroy the drive block and breach the karman line are among my favorites
>>22615151i never looked too closely at the skybox for the two endgame xylem missions, damn.neat build, btw. going with both the ORBT and HUXLEY seems like a fun idea
>>22615191He's slow for his weight, has no stability and barely any more AP than a light weight, but I still cherish him. I like the missions where we can see the coral in the sky
>>22615191That looks more like the pulse cannon, I see a string.
>>22615215Shoulder bubble gun yes, a single one makes a world of difference against bosses with shields
>>22615215huh. why is there a string?
>>22615234Cos it's pulse oscillation weaponry, anon.
>>22615234Pulse weapons are basically sonic weapons, they attack with high frequency air vibrations, that's also why they are able to fuck up shields.
>>22615215>"Pulse cannon developed by Schneider. Powerful, continuous high-frequency oscillation cancels out pulse defenses with ease. Features a distinctive spec that creates oscillations from a string."
is JVLN-B/CURTIS/MOONLIGHT/ML-REDSHIFT a serious build or a joke build
>>22615352Replace that rifle with harris.Also pve or pvp bulid?
>>22615416pvp it was someone i fought, i beat them with my pve build so i wanted to know if i should feel proud about that
>>22615213i think it'd probably be the boosters doing thatare you sure the the NGIs are a good fit here? i don't know about the air performance but you don't really need the ridiculous QB thrust when RJ leap-QBs are pretty good by default. SPDs have served me well on my own SPRING CHICKEN build
Last time played AC6 was around November or so but I got the itch so I redownloaded it. Any cool new things to look out for?
>>226158834 new weapons plus a full new frame, i think you get all of them by chapter 4if you already completed NG it should just be in the shop automatically
wait were those out already
aaaand the LB on my shitbox controller died. God doesn't want me to play DSII
>ALLMIND's name doesn't change to "Iguazu" during phase 3lame.

Why do none of the rifles feel good to useIs etsujins, vientos, or any of the other pistols better for a melee build then? How do I get my second pulse sword swing to hit, it always seems to miss
>>22616264>Why do none of the rifles feel good to useclose range gameSCUDDER and RAN-RF are actually pretty nice but you have to build and play like a little bitch to use themalso none of the rifles in game are vanilla rifles
>>22616264>How do I get my second pulse sword swing to hitdelay your second swing.
When’s the next time you figure this game’ll go on sale? I want to get it for my brother’s birthday next month and I’m just thinking if it goes on by soon-ish I can snag it for cheaper which’ll be nice.
>>22615842I swapped to the SPD later on, but I still use the NGmI sometimes if I feel like using heavier weapons
>>22616410>spoiler on the m didn't workTime to sudoku
>>22616410god damn the muzzle flash on those pistols are crazy
i wish the camera could go lower to the ground so that "ground perspective" screenshots were easier to get
>>22616655There's a free camera mod on github, usually they're great, used one for the evil within 2, took 2500 screenshots thanks to it
>>22616700i'm on console...
>>22616703Rip then
we unironically need to go back to pre 3.5 gen controls.dual wielding was a mistake, quad wielding in 6 is a bigger mistake. i just dont want to claw anymore..
>>22616712i don't think it's that bad, fromosft just needs to put in some harsher penalties for dual-wieldingrifle w/ bazooka offhand is currently my favorite AC archetype too
>>22616730Instead of being able to buy left or right hand weapons, there is only one tab for weapons.Meaning you can't stack the same shotguns and laser cannons.
>>22616730That's what recoil control should be for in theory, it just doesn't seem to matter that much currently.
>>22616740would it work with the weapons bay system?>>22616754yeah, the real stinkers are dual semiauto weapons like dual zimmers or dual laser/plasma. those are actually slow-firing enough that recoil doesn't fuck them over at all. that being said, i'm not sure if dual pistol or dual MG deserves the same fate, pistols kinda need dual trigger to really work while MG definitely still has to deal with recoil issues outside of the etsujin. if they end up doing anything about it, it's going to take a long time to fine-tune for sure.
>go to a site I usually use to get roms for emulation>decide I should try out the old games again>click rom download link>"Play Online">... what the fuck does this mean?>click it>it loads in the fucking browser>it is the crispiest fucking low framerate version of the game humanly imaginable the face buttons are swapped>but it has settings that made it much more playable and has filters and shit>and it all runs in browserpretty neat all things consideredbut why?
>>22616770fuck, like a flash game? that's cozy.
>>22616772Yeah like a flash game, it is actually nuts. It can detect my controller hut there's keyboard controls you can configure. I wonder if pure KB og DOOM would be fun.
So how's that coop mod for 6?
>>22616849Full of bugs that are annoying enough to make me not want to install it. It's impressive to me that it got created but it needs a lot of work still, I'll wait for it to be more stable, or for the extension which will inevitably have coop r-right?If you try it with a friend do report back
>>22616849Not too shabby. While it has options to increase ACS and health for enemies, it ends up being even easier since the AI struggles handling multiple players and won't commit to a good chunk of attacks.
>>22616849I've done some invasions, and lots of doors shut behind the players as they progress through the levels that you wouldn't expect. Really gets in the way, you can get out of bounds in some areas but there's just a lot of pointless invisible walls that gate you from attacking after they make some progress. Kind of frustrating, but I have been juggling people like it's DMC so I can't really say I blame anybody.
At some point they were considering having weapon arms?When you assign a weapon id to a set of arms it also unequips your guns with a menu pop up.
Old footage with backbooster?
https://youtu.be/pIBdmnssMRIUnused music.
>>22617132it looks off, somehow.
>>22617132Where the fuck did you find this?
>>22617131>>22617132>weapon arms>additional boostersI wonder why they decided to cut them. Surely not balancing concerns if they let bullshit like pre-nerf zimzams in release.
>>22617199>>22617334Probably because the movement system was quite different until they decided to take the souls route, which made the need for such booster obsolete. This gameplay seems to be much more grounded
>>22617132Did he glideboost at the end?
>>22617346yeah it does seem like they're just more expensive, slower quickboosts. hell i think it's even the same animation but drawn out>>22617334with the back boosters, i think they just couldn't figure out how to balance non-damaging units. if you separate the units into categories and compare their numbers in the game, you get:weapons >>>>> shields >> that one jamming gunand it seems that they could barely figure out how to implement units that didn't effect damage or ACS. they only managed to implement the jamming gun, and it's still incredibly niche.
chiefs model is really big
>>22617418Ahhh...
>>22617420I mean he is the Chief.
>>22617418man two-handed rifles would be the shit
>>22617418>>22617421has the TURNER being a reworked fourth gen design ever been acknowledged in interviews
>>22617429Sure wish it was as good as fourth gen rifles.
>>22617132Is that an extension on the right shoulder?>>22617429I wish they'd reworked more unused BFF designs
Which game had the best OST?
>>22617570Silent Line
>>22616770I remember when I was a child my father didn't allow me to download jackshit in the family computer cause he knew it would end up with viruses, so to play old shit I tended to use browser flash emulators, played a fuckton of neogeo shit that way.Must be useful for those situations given how much children browse the internet these days, though I think it's probably laggy af.
>>22617570https://youtu.be/Cl9FQIT-6iY?si=f3Alt_sxX2tJX3KM
>>22617515two of those could easily be balam next-gen framesi'd be distraught if we didn't get any more third gen expy frames though, they got real close with the medium frames for balam and arquebus but just didn't end up following up on themi heard AC6 was made on a smaller budget so if 6.5 ends up becoming a thing i hope they get in enough frames to satisfy most people
>>22617515>I wish they'd reworked more unused BFF designsthat whole artbook has some diamonds hidden in itthis GA medium gets me rock hard for instance
>>22617418>Two-handed weaponNEED NOW
Ayo, did anyone here preorder the Robot Spirits Ayre?And who got the 30MM Noghtfall and Steel Haze?KInda wanna jump on the train while it's possible.
>>22617132>Back boosters>Weapon armsFromsoft you're killing me I need these
>>22617789none of those have parts that i wanti'm waiting for my nigger dolmayan to get a kit
I really hope whatever comes after VI brings back optional teammates and some equivalent of VOB missions
>>22617874If they will go for third ending as the baseline for the sequel, your coral buddies would be s good way to explain having reoccurring NPC-helpers.

>>22617933yeah that's just how it be sometimes mang
>>22617933>he cares about how good his core is>he doesn't power through the game with sheer will, stubbornness and a bit of cheesing
>>22617868Based.The BAWS parts have grown on me a lot. Also help make the Cybertruck.
Forgot pic.
>>22617570None of them.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHa3J4gkXsc
>>22617789So is it a figure or a model kit??
>>22617570All of them when I play Sonic music over them insteadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41HfizXYKmw
>>22618107This Ibis series Ayre is a figure, with metal parts even. It's from the Robot Spirits line.30MM line is plastic model kits, which are modular, so you can make your own AC, if you have the parts. I am getting them all to make my own.
I know you guys have heard it a million times before but I just cannot really stand the AB 125 > ape fights that AC6 often devolves into.Either that, the infinite run away quad that tries to timer cheese or the 2x laser rape tank. I mean 4 & VD had their problems but jesus christ.
>>22618111So, which company will get the rights to the PCA mechs?
>>22617789>>22618111I'm a bit of a lazy fuck, do these kits require paint? Parts swapping aside.Also is there some handy list of what's out there?
>>22618356Nah, the Ayre will come pre assembled and painted, so it can go straight from box to shelf. The starter AC and Rusty from 30mm will need to be assembled like a plastic model to some extent and paint will only be required if you want to add extra details or customize it.
>>22618430Thanks. Seems I have to pay the BBTS tax. Lateness costs.

>>22618000>blocky mech>smooth curvy weaponFor what purpose??
>>22618684That's just my usual weapon setup. Except I usually use the Laser Cannon instead of Songbirds.
>>22618687>makes a cosplay build>puts his usual weapon setup on itAnon, you are a faggot.
>>22618697It's not much of a cosplay.It's just BASHO with a decal on it, weirdo.
Does my guy look cool
>>22618731Yeah. Feels like he'd be a rival character like Stinger or Evangel/Zinaida
>>22618731>BASHO arms>no melee weapons
>>22618745Put your glasses back on skeleman there’s a whip right there, unless you’re saying that it doesn’t get melee damage bonuses
>>22618731>all that wasted load and enbro...
>>22618878If I take heavier guns I move slower and the lighter guns just don’t have enough range or fire rate and if I use different arms my melee damage suffers. The high EN though makes my recharge go super fast which is nice
>>22613230I payed 30 or 40 for the LR one from Mandarakre, before they got reprinted. Are the old Gen 3 kits getting reprinted or should I just look to ebay for 3d printed parts?

>>22619040Does back left have SHADE EYE? It doesn't look like NIGHTFALL.
>>22619040Vol.2>Crest CR-C75U2>Foxeye?>AALIYAH>White Glint
>>22619053either the mirage heavy from the 3 intro, or the heavy guy from the AA cinematic
>>22619065Oh shit you're right, it's the Mirage C05-SELENA.
Soon…
Will the other AC games ever get ports?
>>22619103You will get Bluepoint remaster of AC1 with Denuvo and you'll go through the 5 stages of grief.
>>22617702Bottom left looks like Pater's AC.
>>22619107You know what bothers me?That head's description says it was designed for V7.But Pater is V8 then V3. And V7 Swinburne doesn't use that head IIRC.
>>22617789I pre-ordered all of them. I'm not expecting either line to go super deep so I'm just gonna get what's available.
>>22619108When we meet Swinburne, he's on guard/patrol duty commanding MTs equipped with cameras to spot targets, it would make sense for him to use some kind of a radar for detecting enemies too. So idk why he's not using it, the devs probably just forgot about it and gave Swinburne another head or maybe initially Pater was V7 and Swinburne was V8 but at some point they got swapped and the devs just forgot to change gear's description.
>>22619108>>22619132Does Pater become V7 after the Swinburne mission?
>>22619053Here's a larger pic of the silhouettes.
>>22619135He could in theory, but during Ambush the Vespers mission he's still referred as V8 and that missions happens only after Swinburne.
>>22619141Left looks like NIGHTFALL to me.The arms and legs look like Loader 4 but the head has an antenna.
>>22619149Left two are from Armored Core 3
>>22619141>Crest CR-C75U2 Close Combat/Dirty Slime>Mirage C05 SELENAthe other two are pretty obvious
>>22619192Oh, I see the pattern, now. You're rightI still stand by my statement. Left DOES look like Nightfall.
>>22619040All I need is the cover ACs for MoA and AA and I'll be in heaven
>>22619046It's Anfang, the cover AC from AC1.
>>22619274I think there are some very old figures of AC2 and AC2AA that you can find on e-bay, Ring World and Wonder Raid both have figures.
>>22619274so far it looks like it's 2 per genthat means the next figures are gonna be 2 from 5 and 2 from 6 respectively
>>22619141How many fucking times is Aaliyah going to be remade jesus
>>22616712Why would I trade more control for simplicity so shitters have a better time?
So, which corporations will you buy your models from?
>>22619514whoever ends up doing both BASHO and WRECKER
>>22619412As often as possible.
>>2261951430MM for my own dogs, Koto for the official ACs.
Seamline hell.
>>22619412Yeah, Alicia needs some love too.
>>22619412>Aaliyah going to be remade jesusI haven't seen a Jesus version of Aaliyah yet though.
>>22619404>that means the next figures are gonna be 2 from 5 and 2 from 6 respectivelyI'm curious to what they will pick for V/VD, I'm expecting Jack Batty/RD's Vengeance/Vendetta or Chief's Hanged Man for V and Blue Magnolia's AC for VD.
>>22619040>Gen 1 Nine-BallThose cowards
Can you actually beat V/VD on RPCS3?
>>22619514In my experience Kotobukiya's kits are shitter in construction than Bandai, but the 30mm are so gimped and child-proofed that I see no positives from buying them over the Koto kits for nowDo I wanna spend most of my time either taping my Nacht for precise painting, or do I wanna spend it sanding down the rounded edges on everything
>>22620083V?nobut you can beat VD.
>>22619404>so far it looks like it's 2 per gen>that means the next figures are gonna be 2 from 5 and 2 from 6 respectively

>>22620503Second route Maybe the emulators will get more fixes of 5 gen by then
>>22619105Wonder how they would ruin it.
>>22620503honestly you can skip 5.VD is like 10 times better.
>>22620540>ac6 combat mechanics>cutscenes that put too much focus on the human characters>who have wholly donutsteel designs instead of being based on their artbook ones>greebled and deformed parts>cluttered environments>shape memory alloys remixed into an ambient trackThat’s just from the top of my head.
>>22620552VD was cool, but I can't deny that V had the best story mode. I love those long missions.
>>22620552>skipping the one with the best villain in the series
>>22620594I'd unironically kill for 4A remake with ac6 combat mechanics but faster
>>22620611The only redeeming part of 5 desu.>>22620617please kill yourself
I just realized I played the entire game without hard lock.It wasn't particularly difficult, but was it supposed to be even easier?
>>22620669Play against a boss, turn on hard lock and lift your mouse.Yes, it will be even easier.
AC4 has the worst menu in the series.
>>22620817you say that like the series usually has good menus
>>22620611>>22620622>Chief>good villainChief is one of the worst villains AC has ever had.
>>22619103No. The publishing rights for this series are a fucking nightmare.
>>22621201I don't think he was necessary the best, but he was definitely the funniest one.
>>22620817Why, they're just a bit different.
>>22621339Really inefficient and a lot of extra inputs just to move through them, plus the information is presented in a really cluttered and unclear way, making you scan the screen trying to find what you're actually trying to see.4s menuing is a fucking warcrime. Fortunately they fix it for 4A.
WHY AREN'T THERE MORE GIANT BOSSES? THE STRIDER TEASED ME, AND THEN THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING ELSE LIKE IT. DAMNIT.>tfw you miss the Arms Forts, but wish they didn't keel over like they were made out of paperNo joke, every arms fort can be killed in 10 seconds, while the Strider learned from this and required several hard points and an entire platforming challenge to remain viable.
>>22621201How could you hate someone who was voiced by the Riddler?>Chief: Riddle me this Raven: What's black and blue and red all over? >Leon: I don't know. >Chief: YOU!>Leon: ACK!
>>22620817you forgot the ps1 games, there you even had to wait for the disc to load the parts...
>>22620512I’d use one of the Arquebus arms but the issue is it reduces my speed by too much and my melee damage by a whole lot too
>>22621888nta but if you need that much melee damage you're using it as a crutch
>>22621949In high A rank rn with it and everyone’s either ultra tanky quad legs or ultralights and it feels like the melee damage is the only thing cinching me the wins
Am I completely inept or is the drive containing 4 and 4A somehow cucked?I've had to manually download random folders of individual game files because for some reason the main zip of 4 just, deleted fuck tons of random files. The only way I've been able to tell how installed the game is by running it, seeing what missing files pop up in the log, and then manually downloading the folder to replace it.There's gotta be a better way right?
Are dates ever mentioned in 4/4A? How far into the future are they supposed to be?
I feel like such a piece of shit when I do invasions lol
>>22622301It's not like a regular souls game in that invasions are the inevitable downside of being able to coop, with this mod you can just disable invasions if you just want the coop part, they want to be invaded, don't feel like a piece of shit about it
>>22620540>every piece is overly detailed with minor piping, wires, cuts, dents, etc...
>>22617132Assuming this is real, these provide no benefit and take both shoulder slots. Also the skidding animation looks like a pose the LCs use.
>>22617421The case by itself is as big or bigger than the magazine. That's far from the worst thing about AC weapon design but fuck. I really don't see how you can be autistic enough to include things like suspension in the AALIYAH legs but not even look up the bare bones basics of firearms function for a mecha game.
>>22622443maybe it's a bolt?
alright, i finished the first for ps1, playing 2 now on my ps2. Couple of questions:I thought project phantasma was just the first one with just a couple more parts in it, and masters of arena mostly arena combat and not much. Should i go back to them or they're not worth it?Do all the armored core from 2 and on have permanently missable content?
>>22622445Using brass?
>>22622453GO BACK RETARD
>>22622457surely it's just weird-looking steel...it'd be more concerning if that rifle was open-bolt since it's one of the more accurate ones in fourth-gen
>>22620360Are she and Zinaida the same person?
>>22622478some theories say that, but i don't think it's ever been confirmed.
>>22622453None of the games have permanently missable stuff, in most games once you finish your first playthrough you can access all missions (and thus, parts) regardless of whether you did them or not, or you can do them in subsequent playthroughs without starting new games.Non-numbered games like MoA, phantasma, another age ect are usually sequels to the numbered games. For example, MoA and project phantasma uses the same engine and parts as AC1 with a new story mode and more parts. They're worth playing as more expanded and more complete versions of what the numbered games and their stories set out to do.
>>22622443just gonna have to let some of the designs work through anime magiclike how the gun turret on the drones have zero space for a magazine or a feed belt
>>22622453They are both very short and 2 is a sequel to MoA, so I would tell you to play them.PP is basically a DLC with the Arena, missions aren't that bad but they are very few. The story is pretty bad but less barebones, just enjoy the OVA-vibe.MoA is a sort of retelling of 1 and tells essentialy the same story but leagues better in terms of presentation. It is Arena-focused, but you have also normal missions. It's a very good game albeit short if you exclude the stupid amoun of arena fights you can have.>Do all the armored core from 2 and on have permanently missable content?What do you mean? If you meant as "lore-related" kinda>>22622478I would say it's likely or at lest it made sense to me when first I played the games. Maybe the japanese playerbase has more answer.
>just finding out about AC6 OST disc 3Mid. I only like the mixes of the old songs and even then none of these are the best versions of anything. KHmix of apex is still the best. Wish they'd lean into techno a bit more for the new game instead of OOOHh AAaaaaAHHH *inception noise*
Has anyone translated A New Order of NEXT?
>>22622509Takes Me Anywhere was good. Why wasn't that in the game? Miyazawa is the best From has at the moment, they should let him take the lead on the next OST if there is one.
>>22622524Nope, none of the artbooks are translated.
>>22622546Yeah I know, I was wondering if some autist out there did a manual translation. I'd gladly do it myself, but I don't know the language.
6 is cool, but the PS2 games have an atmosphere and style that I wish could be replicated. I don't think a AAA game studio is even allowed to make games like that anymore.
>>22620669Hard lock was a mistake and I hope it never comes back
>>22622590They need to make strafing doable without hardlock, I hate that it's hardlock only. Just add an input to enable/disable strafing without hardlock, that'd make me happy
>>22622596The series always had strafing though
>>22622598Yes, and you didn't need hardlock to have it happen naturally with your movements. You can't strafe in AC6 without hardlock if you're not firing, the moment you stop firing you stop strafing and that can lead to your AC doing a quick turn, locking you in place just enough time to take some damage, worst case you get stunned and die
hard lock just has the unique benefit of literally never losing your target ever, and here's the big part, it doesn't fuck up your boosting speed if you turn or whateverdid we ever figure out what the -% accuracy thing was supposed to be? I know it's like non existent.
>>22622607Someone made a spreadsheet but I didn't save it, there's basically no significant difference
>>22622615ty bud
>>22622606Right, hard lock is completely superfluous and offers nothing new that we couldn't do before, it just takes target acquisition out of the equation entirely, making the game dumber overall.
>>22622607Game's focus on hardlock + AB + ACFA Sobrero levels of energy regen for everyone is the perfect storm of dog shit ideas. I'm iffy on laser weapons no longer consuming energy on use but truth be told I think that's moreso just a lot of shell weapons this time around being just being uninteresting to use.
>>22622622Hope the next game/DLC will change how it works massively. I enjoy playing without hardlock, until I stop firing for a second, my AC stops strafing, shit happens, fun stops. It's not like that every time but it happens often enough that it became a huge bother to me
I think Hardlock was a means to make it so that using a mouse wasn't just completely superior to console peasants.
>>22622657I hadn't considered that, but you may be at least partially right.

HOW DID MY WHIP MISS A STATIONARY TARGET TWICE AT 50m
>>22622905Augmented Anon, Post Number 22622905. Your complaint regarding the ALLMIND AC part, designated 44-143 HMMR, has been logged. Providing advice. Please be advised: the Plasma Thrower has a “sweet spot” range, and does not function optimally outside of this range.
>>22622657But why ? There's no crossplay
SMALLMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND
>>22622952
>>22622950You still have to design the game to be played for mouse and joystick. Designing the game speed for mouse speeds means joystick gamers can never track the enemies properly. Designing the game speed for joystick means everything is moving around really slow and would bore mouse gamers.So I guess Hardlock is the game's way of enabling joystick aim to be able to track enemies designed to be tracked by mouse.
>>22622657>>22622962I suspect that this is why turn speed doesn't exist either. It would feel particularly cumbersome on MKB.
>>22620503Do all of them you loser. 1>PP is a direct sequel for our AC1 Raven, then do MoA so you have more part to play with. 2>AA is fun in that you get more missions to play with and Arena-Styled missions like in VD.
>>22622453GO BACK STOOPID YOU MISSED A FUCKTON
>>22622055I am dumdum so I was confused by ps3 4/4A too because it would download a shitload of separate game files, turns out you just need to unpack them all in the same folder and it all works.
>>22622962>>22622979By this logic, the game is severely crippled in design by having multiple control schemes.

>>22622744Aesthetically or functionally?
>>22623252Clearly he just kneels to Rummy.
>>22622301Wait, is that the cop AC making a return??
>>22623275>The fact that she doesn't even bother to change her voice for her Kate persona is just fucking hilarious.Kate isn't Allmind, it's an AI developed by Allmind.
>>22623252>>but he's King's senior in BranchKing's the one who's regarded as the perfect mercenary, Raven's probably just some rando that King took under his wingi suspect Chartreuse has also been around for longer than Raven since her and King both have lines about fighting "other ravens"also, King is voiced by Thermidor
>>22623344Yet King regards Raven as someone more skilled than himself.
>>22623346Both of those things can be true.Raven is the "ace" of the team, but he's also a mute and a protagonist-type who probably does his own thing.King was a by-the-books guy who got results, he'd be a better fit for leadership.
>>22623346when does he say that?
Thoughts on my OC?
>>22623252If I remember right O'Brian in AC4 was also the last rank in arena despite being one of the best pilots in story, so it could be a nod to that.

>>22623352Joshua was No.40 and Anatolia's Mercenary No.39 because they were completely new LYNX and only just came onto the corporate radar.
>>22622259Best guess is to assume the serial numbers on BFF parts represent the production dates, so AC4 takes place around 2051 and FA about 2067. That's just speculation, though. There's no canon dates
>>226227443rd gen designs and proportions were perfection
>>22623533I am an unabashed 4th gen enjoyer, but fuck that looks so good.
>>22623351Nice AC anon, I like it. You want to use the TALBOT FCS, though. WLT is knocking off something like 10% of your energy efficiency for no gain, though you probably have plenty to spare. Just a small optimization. Will improve your abysmal TRUENO lock time, too. Unless somehow your FCS is also part of your fashion?
>>22623579It's not part of my fashion.
>>22623335Sounds like Allmind cope
it had walljumping...https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1ru4y1p7KW/?spm_id_from=333.788&vd_source=e8b8a00aea75c1f8d6ae3cee5393fed1
>>22623935WHY DID THEY REMOVE IT?
>>22623940honestly it did not look particularly goodalso the multiplayer maps and levels ended up having dogshit verticality anyways so i don't see it being super useful
>>22623965Better than the stupid catapults
>>22623965some people cant comprehend not designing games with an 'everything but the kitchen sink' mentality
>>22623974the catapults are fun to play. almost a little too fun. playing a kite makes me feel bad for landlocked builds
Yes, yes it is. Cunt.
>>22624007i don't understand interior union why did they have to take their perfectly good mirage-esque aesthetic and trade it out for kneepreggers
>>22623940I knew it. Did they build 6 atop 5?
How do I do this blimp mission in AC1I've failed it 3 times in a row nowAny FCS that can actually hold the planes in the sight is too shallow to attack planes any real distance away, small missiles are not hitting them reliably
>>22623760Retard.
>>22623935What is that music?? I don't remember it being in the game.
>>22624148Don't remember exactly, but I cleared pretty much the whole game using a pulse rifle and chaingun on an RJ build. A lot of missiles suck in AC1, make sure you are using ones that fire straight forward instead of curving and maybe use the TRYX-QUAD FCS. If I can do it on console then you can do it on emulator.

I think I've finished NOT STEEL HAZE's concept, but jesus christ either the needles are shit or I don't understand them
>>22623252maybe he just was autistic and took opsec really seriously? The guy went by the name "Raven" when ravens are supposed to be a real normal thing outside of Rubicon, he was obviously a larper of some variety regardless of skills
>>22623252Purposefully kept a low rank to fly low and avoid attention
>>22623252He was Number One on the PCA's shitlist. Didn't have much time on his hands until he faked his death.
>>22624842the bomb launcher shield is kinda like thatwith most arm sets having a specific left-side hardpoint, you'd think there'd be some left-side exclusive wrist gun units designed for it.there's some opportunity for the 6.5 games too, imagine if they added arms with different hardpoint configurations. they could have- left wrist hardpoint only: basically just 6's current arms- left and right wrist hardpoints: double melee, with better melee handling and performance but worse firearms spec and recoil control, also possibly heavier- no hardpoints: no melee but better firearms spec and recoil control, lighter
>>22623940That may explain why the game is so easy, it wasnt made with the current move parameters in mind.
>>22623940there's also a sniper rifle herethe quad is using it and the velocity looks hilariously bad...
>>22625079>The guy went by the name "Raven" when ravens are supposed to be a real normal thing outside of RubiconWasn't "Raven" a super special legacy title passed down from one super special mercenary to another super special mercenary by the time 6 takes place? "Ravens" (plural) haven't been around for so long that their status became legendary, doubly so if it's the same(ish) continuum that 4-VD followed. By the time the "Dark Raven" was a thing of its own, Ravens were a thing of another age entirely.
>>22617702That GA design looks like it would fit right into 3rd gen. I love it.
>>22625563It's different timelines. In AC6's case for example ACs were invented little more than half a century prior to the story.
>>22625563In 4-4A, "Raven" was the title given to a mercenary who'd pilot a Normal. They all went the way of the Dodo when Lynx replaced them, though a couple of people who used to be Ravens went on to be Lynx - notably, Anatolia's Mercenary used to be a Raven. Ravens are just a thing of the past at that time, not really "legendary". It's 6 that hypes up the title "Raven" specifically.
It's done, I fell the cradles. Well that was fucking bullshit, now I feel obliged to finish all earlier ACs to see what kind of unfair assrapes they have to offer.>>22623940>they cut snipers from 6Grim.
>>22625563king seems to mention multiple ravens so he must've met or fought at least a few of themmaybe multiple people who got the singular title or uh, "real ravens" if he's that old
>>22623935>It had walljumping, shoulder boosters and weapon armsFROMSOFT THIS BETTER COME BACK IN THE EXPANSION GAME
>>22623235What if Allmind made an artificial body for herself? If she can replicate the feeling of a human body with an AC, as mechanically complex as they are, she should be able to make an android body to represent herself, right?
>>22625576Bullshit, augmented human surgery wasinvented at that time, but ACs already existed.
>>22625746Cyborgs are already canon since the first game and the most complex part (the brain) is already functionally simulated since SMALLMIND itself is a thing. Little reason to believe she couldn't do that if she wanted. Pic unrelated.
Too many cheeseburgers…
how do you sensor player names for funny wacky multiplayer clip webms
>killing Rusty with laser slicerdas it mane
>want to do a run with no OS tuning>don't want to live without weapon baehmph
>>22626956the fact that they locked some important gameplay elements behind OST tuning kinda sucksthey should tie it to inside parts or boosters/generators in the next game
>>22627131They are essentially inside parts
So it seems that it's preferable to use energy weapons in AC1 because rifle ammo cost is raping my wallet. Is there some generator/parts combo for good energy control?
>>22627166B-T2 is the best early game booster and you can get through most of the game with itnot sure about generators though, the best one is a mission pickup but you can get pretty close with the store generators
>>22627166Silver generator GBG-10000 from the store has the highest output. Booster consumption and regen are 1/4 within the generator's red zone, but energy weapon consumption is not reduced so be careful.AC1 has a boost speed limit. Speed is derived from your AC's total weight - weight of generator (don't ask why).B-P351 is the highest power booster in AC1 and PP, max speed at 6285 weight and below.B-VR-33 is good for mid weights, you attain max speed at 5687 weight and below.B-T001 is a good hidden booster, max speed at 5178 weight and below.B-T2, 4429 and below.
>>22627342Generator does not affect the calculation of boost speed, turn speed, or stability.Energy recovery = Generator output - frame parts and FCS energy drain.The energy drain stat of boosters and weapons are ignored.Consider using RJs for max recovery. Stationary drain is more important than energy drain for leg parts.LB-4400 is cheaper than the starter legs.LB-1000-P has the lowest energy+stationary drain and the best turning speed.There's also an energy recovery speed limit, with very low drain parts you can get away with using the gold generator GBG-XR.
I haven't played 6 yet, does it have team pvp like VD?
>>22627408Yeah but no one plays 3v3 ranked.you can't even queue up with your friends.
>>22627415What the fuckI hope that gets fixed in the expac
>>22626796by using a video editor
>>22626796Just leave them in, who cares
Hand it over, that thing... the tanks you stole...
Playing through old gen in order, I think silent line is gonna become my favorite. My problem with AC is that some missions are ether boring, redundant or too easy (AA is the biggest offender) which makes me not want to replay the games, other than for pvp.But SL's missions are challenging and most importantly, KINO.
