Why not just play a DragonBallZ game and imagine it's a robot? Same gameplay.
>>335839793
Why does the worst side always have to have the best designs?
Front Mission series
Ring of Red
MechWarrior series
Vanguard Bandits
Armored Core series
Vastar
Gundam games
Macross/Robotech games
Metal Storm
Xenogears
Zone of the Enders
>>335838996
Armored Core series, Mech Assault series, Titanfall (though mech are only part of the equation in that one, so), Hawken, and Steel Battalion off the top of my head.

>>335838996
ARMORED CORE?!
FINALLY!?
>>335838996
If it's as terrible as V or as shitty as VD then I don't want another armored core.
Mechwarrior: Online, F2P War Thunder with mechs.
I really hate the modern Armored Core games. I want more of the old school Mechwarrior type ones, where the Mechs are weightier and have bigger guns.
More like Armored Bore

Is the PSOne Classic Armored Core on the Vita any decent?
Keep in mind my first Armored Core was V and if it's archaic as fuck it might be too rattling for me to enjoy it.
>>335840694
Those are in 4/FA at the very least, can't say for V/VD since I won't play them.

If your a fan of gundam there's MS Saga for the PS2 which is just fan service all over the place.
The PS2 actually has a bunch of good gundam games.

3 and Evolved are terrible, but for very different reasons.
>>335841075
Why put it on legs?
Why not just put guns on tall platforms where you just sit still and exchange fire politely with zero maneuvering?
>>335841075
How the mech behaves != how the guns sound/work
Do you not know what you are complaining about so you just spout random things or you genuinely retarded enough to think it's the weapons that dictate how the robot moves?

I just want another For Answer, that was the one Miyazaki directed (and 4, but 4 sucked). Please no more MP bullshit, or at least MP taking precedence over the single player campaigns. 4A felt like the last AC game to actually have a good SP component.
>>335841567
Please explain how it's even remotely on par with any other game in the franchise.

Dude seriously? Theirs a bunch. Fucking evafags.

4 wasn't that bad anon.
I liked it.
but 4a was better.
>>335842128
No, it's obviously Escaflowne.
Is development dead for this game? I don't normally go for early access, but this looks like it could scratch an itch
>>335841997
It had a PS2 game dude. With alternate story paths and shit.
>>335843502
Saw a news on Siliconera a week ago, seems alive. Though I would still wait for full release if I were you.
>>335843502
They're still working on it and they finished the second act last month.
>>335843896
That's interesting because the "why early access" box on the store page says they expected it to be done by Q2 2015.

What are Gauss Rifles.

I've never played an Armored Core game but I fucking love sanic speed in mecha, so people told me to start the ones that came out on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Would I be really missing anything if I were to jump on those instead of the previous-gen ones?

It is dead though, so i hope you like pve

You'd be missing better games but you can always go back and play them later on.
They aren't really connected story wise either.

Super Robot Wars is pretty good if you like strategy games. Tends to be on the easy side though, and most of em are moonrune only.
>>335850601
SRW is almost universally bad.
>>335851243
The OG games are all good
>>335851243
There's been at least one game on nearly every system since the original on the GB, it'd be surprising if there weren't any stinkers. Seriously there's like 30+ games without even counting spinoffs.
Downloaded allot of mecha Dreamcast cdi's last night.
Those being Tech Romancer, Frame Gride, 0079 Side Story, Virtual On, and Bangai O.
>>335851515
OG1, 2, Gaiden, and Dark Prison are all bad. You're left with two good games.
>>335851796
I know. That's why it's stupid when people recommend the series without specifying certain games. If you pick one at random, it will more than likely be shit.
>>335851906
>OG1, 2, Gaiden, and Dark Prison are all bad.
I'm sorry you have shit taste then anon. I'm sure you've actually played all of those.
>If you pick one at random, it will more than likely be shit.
So they can ask which one to play?
>>335852159
Even diehard fans of the series will admit that OG1, Gaiden, and Dark Prison are bad. Gaiden is what made barrelions a meme.

why?
Is Armored Core 1 good? It's sale on psn.
>>335840661
Not the guy you're replying to, but not liking doesn't equal not being good at. I didn't like fourth Gen AC either but I was fucking good at it. The netcode was shit and couldn't keep up with a full lobby in multiplayer, and single player was a joke because lolkojima rifle one shots or kiting with sniper cannons trivialized everything, even arteria capalis (sp? The 1v5 mission, you know the one).
>>335853312
Shitty game and not even relevant to this thread
>>335853625
>what games, regardless of genre let me play as/ in/ around mecha
Perfectly fits OP's description.
I'm also suggesting Borderlands as an alternative FPS.
>>335853625
he asked for games you can play as a mech
>>335852970
Should I request a refund for this game?
When I have a chance?
what armored core kit should I buy?
>>335853785
>refund a f2p game
Are you retarded?
>>335853851
Fuck off.
>>335853851
All of them so you can Frankenstein your own Core.
>>335853865
was talking about overwatch,
Looks like my pic confused you.
>>335840958
fuck off, verdict day was the best AC since 3
>>335854373
Refund it and play the free open beta, if you like it then preorder it.
>>335853490
Isn't that the point though, to build your own AC to tailor to your playstyle and make yourself unstoppable?
I can't speak to multiplayer though and heard the same thing. They tried focusing more on multiplayer in AC5 and that didn't turn out so great.
But again, fast manueverable ACs have always been the, pardon the pun, core of the series, 2 included, which, if you tuned your AC properly, you could hypothetically fly indefinitely.
I could be wrong but isn't that the fun of AC?
>>335854642
>fast manueverable ACs have always been the core of the series
Bullshit. Tanks were kings in Silent Line. Most of the games are easily trivialized by loading up with a ton of guns and armor.
>>335854797
I missed silent line.
I played 2 and AA.
>>335854927
So you played two games and think you know what the series is about?
lol
>>335855176
well 2, AA, 4, and then 4A.I skipped the shitty ones.
>>335853378
very barebones, it's okay
>>335854797
Have you thought about playing scorched earth?
Seems like your style of game.
>>335854642
Before 4th Gen lightweights were only ever viable when op-I or human+ were available.
I miss when Quad legs having a purpose.
>>335855342
You skipped the best games in the series and now talk retarded shit on /v/.
>>335855637
Kinda, but don't see a huge problem there.

You don't see a problem with cheats/easy mode that were outright banned in multiplayer?

>cheats/easy mode
you have an interesting revisionist view.
>>335845979
Shut up nerd
>>335855979
>I skipped the worst ones
Did the exact opposite. 2/AA are easily the worst of the originals, and 4/4a are garbage.
>>335856085
Again.
I really think you'd enjoy scorched earth more.
>>335856085
>and 4/4a are garbage.

>>335856063
>have to rack up a $50,000 debt multiple times

Correct on both counts.
>>335856261
Then I suppose the AI is just a bunch of cheaters.
Every character in the game cheats.
>>335854510
4 Answeruuu~ was objectively better. Verdict day was an improvement on a pieces of shit. It was still "meh" the robogame.
The only thing Verdict Day did good was the trailer. Watching the trailer is literally better than playing the game. They crammed every single good bit into the trailer. It is so good I listen to it in my car.

>>335856357
If they didn't cheat it would be too easy
>>335856225
He's trying.
That's him moving.
>>335856357
No shit retard. Last Raven is well known for it's cheating AI.
>>335856458
Or they could just make better AI, better ACs, etc.
Just a thought.
Legitimate question:
Why play a game about mobile weapons platforms if you just stand there and take turns shooting at each other?
>>335856082
Mounting 2 or 3 powerful weapon systems that can cripple heavier mechs or outright destroy lighter mechs in a single volley has been a mainstay meta in Mechwarrior for decades.
What did you name your first AC /v/?
Mine'sRobocop.
>>335856520
last raven was also a flaming turd.
>>335839967
I figure it's because kids would buy the hero toy no matter what, so to get them to buy the villain side toys, they better look cool.
That's why the Titan colors are so fucking good, too.
>>335856594
I don't know why were you playing with a broken controller?
>>335856737
I'm talking about playing with tank ACs.
>>335856615
Whatever you say little guy.
>>335856594
>Why play a game about mobile weapons platforms if you just stand there and take turns shooting at each other?
You should learn how to play. Overboost jousting and using the environment to your advantage is the correct way to use tanks.
>>335841997
You should look up the PS2 game. It's essentially set up as "What if Gunbuster got a 26 episode tv series?", complete with OP, ED, commercial breaks, and episode previews. It's pretty neat.

>>335856872
You're not going to dodge anything in a tank. Too damn slow. Literally the same as if you just stood there exchanging fire.
>Overboost jousting and using the environment to your advantage is the correct way to use tanks.
Better than ambien. thanks, I'll go do that next time I need a nap.
I'll also second Mechwarrior but I would never recommend MWO to anyone who doesn't enjoy grinding with shitbox robots or paying 20 or 30 bux for a mech that might actually be sort of decent. All MWO has going for it is a somewhat alive multiplayer community.
Pretty much every real Mechwarrior game is better. Mechwarrior 3 is my favorite though has trouble running on certain modern PCs, but MW2: Mercenaries and MW4: Mercenaries are also fantastic, and all of these titles I just named have big salvage/economy mechanics. MW3 is nothing but what you pick up off of dead clanners and from destroyed outposts for your salvage, while the mercenary titles allow salvage work and also a black market to purchase and sell weapons and mechs.
Mechcommander is also a fantastic game with a similar appeal in an RTS format, and MC2 is pretty okay as well though its enemy AI is totally fucking retarded and easily exploited.
>>335857005I don't fully agree, but I think that fast acs should be viable and if people want a slow paced mech game they should play something else. like chess.
>>335839408
How in the actual fuck do you win the final mission in his storyline?
I've finished 99% of this game using the highest speed build possible and only blades. Do I finally need to switch tactics?

Finally, fucking hate this gay ass fantasy shit. Bout damn time.
>>335857193
>Do I finally need to switch tactics?
No.
Go all out balls to the wall and never say d- maybe.
>>335857085
>You're not going to dodge anything in a tank.
Use overboost.
>>335857193
shoot through the wall with the railgun(I think) for easy win
otherwise you really do need high speed build
It's been a while since I played but maybe you're playing on the wrong regs
>>335857193
With blades you can lure one AC outside the walls at a time. Thats what I did.

>>335856806
Are you shitposting or have you just never played any mechwarrior game? Mounting a small handful of weapons that do large amounts of damage has always been the quickest and most efficient way to dispatch enemy robots in all of these games. If you want to shitpost just say you've never played the games and you never will cuz there isn't enough anime in them or something.
WHEN THE FUCK IS BREAKER 3 SHIPPING PLAY ASIA. I FUCKING TOOK MONDAY AND TUESDAY OFF TO PLAY IT.
>>335857085
>Literally the same as if you just stood there exchanging fire.
Why not just outright admit that you never played anything heavier than a toothpick? You obviously have no experience about the topic at hand yet you still wanna talk smack about it.
>>335857192
Playing a heavy or tank AC is not "slow paced," you guys are fucking retarded.

IT'S JUST WHAT I WANT, TO BUY A ROBOT GAME WITH COOL LOOKING ROBOTS ON THE COVER AND THEN EVERY VIABLE ROBOT USED ONLINE IS SOME RETARDED PIECE OF SHIT TRASHCAN ON STICK LEGS WITH A COCKPIT FOR AN ASSface it, the game was already niche because of its subject matter and genre and it was further shoved into niche territory by how completely unbalanced and min/maxy the online component was - no one would've bought the game if they knew they were going to be piloting the type of meta garbage that performed well online
>>335857697

>>335857697
Just OB like a motherfucker.
>>335857697
Stop being a fucking faggot about it. Can you do that, please, cuz it'd be nice. You talk as if the difference between a fast AC and a tank AC is the difference between an F1 car and a slug. It's not. You go slightly slower and your playstyle is a little bit different. Anyone who talks like how you've been, about how "you're just standing there taking turns firing at each other" or some shit never actually played it themselves. You probably got beat up by a heavy AC and now you've internalized it as some kind of bogeyman.

No, but I certainly remember hundreds of babies like you that cried about them.
>>335858642
I'd rather have old AC on PC than newer.
>>335858727
No need to get upset anon :)
>>335858525
Prove a basic mechanic of the game that's been in place since 2...?
That weight and size of your ac affects your speed tremendously?

>tfw AC will never come to PC
>mfw this also means there will never be any muvluv mods where you fight infinite waves of BETAs
This world is bullshit I tell you
>>335845997
If you love sanic speed then play For Answer. 4 is trash.
>>335858816
Yeah, do it. Post videos or builds that prove heavy builds are too slow to dodge anything.
>>335858931
Master of Arena and Silent Line are the only two must-plays in the series.
>>335859106
Sure, Just front the bill for a capture card.

>I played 4 games out of a series with 15 games and I think I know what I'm talking about

>I am retarded
>>335838996
Trenched/Iron Brigade, and the Rise of the Martian Bear expac, for Xbox Live Arcade. One of the few good things to come out of Double Fine, post Brutal Legend.
You can get Iron Brigade on Steam as well but DF never added Martian Bear to the Steam version.
>>335858931
Forgot to remove 4 from "Worse" tier
>>335859225
Why are you even fighting this so hard? Heavy mechs are not too slow to dodge things. They're slower than lighter ACs, of course, but it's not "too slow" to dodge enemy weapons fire. The only way I can imagine you could really think this is if you didn't play the game all that much.
>>335857942
I would have. On paper it looked generic and boring as shit but in reality it was crazy and interesting.
>>335859231
Well at least you can admit you're retarded.
>>335859225
Don't dodge the issue. I've already found several youtube videos that show heavy builds are viable in PVP and can dodge things just fine if you're good enough.
If you can't defend your point, then fuck off.
>>335859372
Because playing against them you really can't miss them?
I mean they practically just sit there stationary.
>>335859372
>The only way I can imagine you could really think this is if you didn't play the game all that much.
Reminder this is the same retard that played 4 games in the series and thinks he "gets it".
>>335858642
Animal crossing might come to PC.
With Nintendo spanning out to mobile I wouldn't be surprised if they hooked up with valve and started making Nintendo games for PC as well.
>>335858642
I'd really like to see AC on PC. 4, FA, V and VD are the only ones I haven't played.
>>335859531
>Why are you even fighting this so hard?
>retard
>>335853378
It has the longest campaign of the first three cycles of AC (1,2,3 games for PS1 and 2), and possibly the tightest.
>>335859375
There was nothing generic about the design or gameplay, the only thing generic is the vague story about warring nations, which isn't a flaw of the game itself.
What is a flaw is the retarded min/max designs that were required to perform well online against other players. If you didn't have all of your guns positioned directly in front of your cockpit, or a giant wall of armor plates protecting the front of your mech, or your cockpit facing backwards and on the backside of your mech, you got completely demolished. It was an unbalanced joke of a game that desperately needed the removal of spacers and probably a massive increase in cockpit health.

>>335859512
Are you describing fucking PvE content? Because PvP is completely different and any player who has feeling in his fingers and hands isn't going to "practically just sit there stationary" regardless of how heavy their AC is, unless they've fucked up the build so poorly they're severely overweight. I really, really, truly think you have no idea what you're talking about and are not speaking from any personal experience except what you saw in the singleplayer campaign, because nothing you say is true for multiplayer.
>>335859746
I liked VD, but kind of disliked how focused around multiplayer it was, to the point that there are a lot of missions where they throw enemies designed for co-op at you, which makes things really tedious.
>>335859245
>>335838996
Correction, just read through the achievement page and apparently Martian Bear is in the Steam version.
>>335859935
So keep VD where it's at and add VD w/ populated servers at the top tier?
Also, they could just port VD to PC and it'd be one of the more popular multiplayer shooters around
>>335860046
That's fair I suppose
>>335859896
>Are you describing fucking PvE content?Yes. You caught me. I'm sorry. Now you can hate me to death.
Good night /v/, I'm sorry for being so angry and mean.
>>335841419
>>335843502
There's still stuff being added albeit very slowly.
I wish I bought it later on instead of when it first came out to be honest
>>335843502
What the fuck is this? It looks pretty good.

You shouldn't come into a thread about japanese mech design and complain that it isn't like western design.
no phantom crash.
>>335851906
No one ever picks a srw game at random. 90% of players start the series with
>one of the Alpha games
>OG
>MX
>Z1
>>335851906
>OG2 is bad
I don't even
>OG1 is bad
Yeah if you hate water stages THAT much
>Gaiden is bad
It's so short it ends before it has a chance to get back
>DP is bad
The only thing bad about DP is that they charged 30 bucks for it.
>You're left with two good games.
Ignoring the games you listed, that's not 2 games left. That's 6 unless I'm miscounting.
>>335841030
No, Thunderbolt is beautiful though.
>>335856594
What the fuck are you talking about, you can't take hits for shit in AC1. The whole game you need to avoid getting hit.
Alright, I feel like I can finally ask this here
Why do so many people love Verdict Day?
Not even being a shitter here, I've wondered since the day it came out and haven't been able to get more than the factory "fuck you its way better" response, I need me some reasoningI hate it and always will, but I want to know what about it makes so many people say its good
>>335856413
The song is called Day after Day BTW.
>>335860190
You spent over half an hour arguing about something you had no real understanding of. Fuck yourself. What a worthless fucking human being you must be.

It's pretty good but the first act gives you a crazy over powered mech 3 missions in.
Thankfully they give you standard issue mechs in act 2

Cause of stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvBVO1XJuaQ&index=50
Find a nice build, get a decent team, its all fun from there. Wish it came out on PC so I wouldn't have to deal with godawful framerate.
>>335850601
>SRW OG MD for PS4 gets official English release before Alpha translation
I still find that funny.
>>335863927
shame author doesn't seem to make more of this.
>>335840482
The Armored Core games were mostly great up to and including Last Raven. 4 fucking ruined the series, and everything after has been varying degrees of shit. Fucking "gotta go fast" For Answer fags need to go back to jerking off to F Zero and leave what was once a great series alone. I can only pray Miyazaki stays the fuck away from the next game, assuming they actually make one.

desu the ps1 armored cores are the good ones
>>335868761
This looks like a blast, its a shame I didn't have any pals to team up with.
That being said, the game itself felt so odd; at that point i'd be playing for the jolly cooperation, not the gameplay
closest thing I could relate it too is Left 4 Dead: great fun with a few buddies and enough time to burn through a whole campaign, but snail shit when you're by yourself
I'm also one of those fags whoenjoys the AC3 era and generally heavier, more tactical mecha, so maybe it's just me not being nipon enoughplaying AC5 was unarguably the most disappointing thing I've ever experienced, and 5V felt like more of the same, so it may very well just be me being biased
