Not yet, but almost. It's usually specific time zones where everyone is gone to sleep or work. Right now most non-NEET muricans are at work and it's early evening in yurop,while the NEET burgerlanders are probably still asleep.

I like the new OP
Are there any rarer versions of Thinker besides the obvious ones like OC Remix and Reprises?

Oh and the message I sent you can be ignored, it fixed itself after restarting the console.

Standard rifles.
My ACs are pretty boring.
>>146900494

So why isn't AC3P on the EU Vita store?
Had to buy it on the PS3 then transfer it into the Vita to get access to it.
It even says on the store page compatible with the PS Vita. How fucking weird.
>>146910160
Wait, so you can't play it on the Vita?
>>146914043
You can but basically you have to buy it on the PS3 then use the transfer system to put it on the Vita. It works fine though.
It's a roundabout way to do it but it's the only way, for some reason you can't download it straight to the Vita and it doesn't show up on the store for it.
>>146914875
You can purchase other games directly hrough the Psp/vita? huh, I thought you could only do it through the Ps3. Man, do I feel stupid.
>>146916421
Yeah there's a store specific to the Vita and PSP. The Vita store lacks half the PSP games it can actually play though, it's really bizarre.
AC3P makes no sense though as the listing on the PS3 store states that it's compatible with the Vita yet it's absent.
So, if From Software brought giant robot series to PC, how would you like to see it implemented? A few things I'd like to see:
>you can buy each generation for 15 dollars (this includes all expansions). For example, AC1-MOA is one title, and AC3-Last Raven are one package
>you can buy all 5 generations for 50 dollars (you're getting 25 dollars off as opposed to buying them all separately, it's a deal you literally can;t miss)
>KBM compatibility
>framerate and resolution fixes
>available on steam/gog/desura
>level editor/enemy editor
>custom maps/missions
MAKE IT HAPPEN!
>>146917006
5 games for 15 dollars?
You're crazy.
>>146917237
Do you expect newcomers to the series to drop 10 dollars on each individual title?
Plus, if From just drops 15 different titles onto the market, it'll be way too confusing. This way the clutter is cut down considerably.

Instead of bumping, why not start conversations?
Like how nine-ball is a shitty meme character?
>>146949806
All nostalgia aside, I would not recommend it. It's one of the only games in the series that I have no fond memories of.
>>146969671
That's some terrible bait you got there

>>146973184
That blows slightly.
If China men made ACs, how shoddy would they be?
So after reading the OP it seems that the AC2 is a good place to start to get into the series ( I did play Another age a bit when it came out, but nothing else). Unfortunately I don't own an ps2 atm, is there a way to get it on ps3/4 or pc?And if this info was in the OP then sorry for not reading close enough
>>146979349
Emulate it, or get the psp games and emulate those.
>>146979493
So no legal way? It's not that important I just dislike most emulaters
>>146977585
No it doesn't.

Sorry mate, someone else asked to play with me.
'sides i was waiting as a merc for 10 minutes.

Sadly, no. The only old AC games that from resells are AC3, SL, and LR.
>>146986232
>no celebrity ash comic book
>>146987871
I'd read it.
Hey /acg/, how do I break ties with my best friend without making it awkward?
>>146992663
Probably there is no way to make it not awkward, at least if you do it directly. The other way could be the subtle way, start haging out less, create excuses, try to end conversartions quickly, specially on phone/chat/whatever, if you can start haging out with another friend/s.
>>146992663
Why would you ask us? We only know about robots.
>>146992663
Kill them, as SMT taught me.
>>146992663
The best way to handle it is in a manner that has little need for words. Just wait til your friend goes on vacation, then show up at his home and burn it all down. When he gets back and finds all the chaos, you have to fight him one on one.
>>146998669
It is important that you secure an experimental flamethrower for the job and show up in different clothing than usual.
>>146995603

>>146995650
>>146998669
Thanks for the advice, I think I'll just ignore his texts. I hope he just doesn't show up at my house again out of nowhere.
Okay, I've got about half an hour for VD if anyone wants to join.
>>147007546
I'll hop on as a merc.
>>147008141
Yeah, box runs.
>>146886206
>Oh and the message I sent you can be ignored
I never even got the message.
>>147000641
And you need to rename yourself after a fat black singer. Maybe Luther Vandross.
>>146890289
If the events of 4 could happen in RL, which companies could suddenly do it?
>>147014004
North Korea probably. They would make something as stupid as Exavil.
>>147020231
I like to think that Exavil was made with the word "art" somewhere in the design.
>>147014004
Alphabet.
Monsanto.
Comcast.
Lockheed Martin after it acquires some other arms company and every gun manufacturer.
Boston.
Whoever buys Boston Dynamics.
>>147022946
I don't doubt that.
>>147023238
The possibilities are endless.
>Mission Briefing
>Client: Comcast Internet Service Provider
>"Good day Raven. Your target today is Monsanto Incorporated. They've recently set up a genetically modified farm of food sources using their patented gene splicing technology. These new produce are quite aggressive and could prove to be a dangerous enemy should Monsanto finish their research. Furthermore, though we cannot prove it, we believe they are burrowing underground and destroying our cable wires. As you know, Monsanto has not been the most fond of us ever since their alliance with AT&T, and we believe they may be purposely allowing this to give their partner more leeway in our territory. This cannot be allowed. "
>"Your primary mission will be the destruction of their gene splicing facility, the source of their mutated floral abominations. Although to ward off suspicion you must make it look like an accident, which is why you will target the 3 injection pipes that feed the facility with various nutrients and chemicals. This will severely disrupt their operations and tarnish their reputation with the public, not to mention AT&T will suffer a relations nightmare trying to cover up the story. "
>"We believe it will be a very.... lucrative opportunity. We await your response."

AC3 and LR aren't the same gen.
It would be more realistic if they did an HD remake where the parts/stats were shared between games of the same generation.
Collection 1:
AC1 through MOA (parts shared)
Collection 2:
AC2 and AA (parts shared)
AC3 and SL (parts shared)
Collection 3:
NX, NB, LR (Parts Shared)
Each one probably selling for $30-40, digital download only.
>>146940002
GA builds are a nice hard counter to people who spam dual rifles or KAMAL. You'll run out of ammo before killing them.
>>146949806
Nine Breaker is basically a training arena that should have been an add-on to Nexus or LR. It's not bad, but it's disappointing on its own.
I'm always surprised how many people whine that there's no PC/PS3 version of the PS2 games, how they seem unaware that 99.9% of all PS2 games were never ported to next gens or PC.
>>147025019
Do you have more Murakumo musumes?
>>147029671
I actually did it with that guy's voiceover in mind. He's so perfect for the sleezy corporate representative.

Sup, cunts. Ausfag here. Verdict Day was on sale on PSN so I went and picked it up. Should have it downloaded in a couple of days. Should I go get a bluetooth headset or do you guys communicate over mumble or something?
>>147049557
Ayy. Same anon here (again). We communicate over the ingame voice chat mostly, so a mic would be appreciated.
>a couple days
Oh god, I remember trying to DL the ZOE collection. It kept failing for a week straight.
Oh, and you should probably shoot me and/or Ahab a friend request. Technically I could add you to the team too but I'd rather let him handle that.PSN is UristMcGamer
>>147050087
I'm guessing there's a pretty solid crossover between dorf fort and giant robot gamers.
I'll get a friend request sent over, I'm OveningNews.
>>147050260
Well I'll be fucked, you're actually the first to get the reference.
I look forward to hearing Australian shitposting bants. I'll be on in about 4-5 hours.
>>147050416
I'll be happy to bring the bantz as soon as I get a headset.
>>147040312

>>147068847
OP here. I meant exactly what I said, Shamir a shit. Waifufaggotry doesn't belong in my giant robutt games, but shamirfags are the worst. Her name also sounds disgusting. Seriously, RaviRavi? The fuck?
It's interesting how most people picture the pilots similarly to each other. Personnaly I found that when seeing a fanart of a character for the first time, my preexisting mental image is usually pretty close to the artist's rendition.
So what do their looks depend on for you guys? AC color usually translates to hair color in my mind, but not always. And sometimes when the eye glow is prominent, I make that the eye color, like on Wynne. And the voice acting is usually lively enough in newer titles (FA especially) that you get a good mental image.
>>147069506
She sounds like a kind of pasta dish.
>>147070012
I base them off of pre-existing characters from what personality traits I see. Like, for example, I imagine Odstarva to be like Spike Siegel.
I'll give this thread new loife m8
Lost my copy of Nexus and I haven't gotten around to ordering a new one.
Dual Face has probably got my favorite overall look of any AC/NEXT
>>147069506
Ravioli ravioli give me the formuoli
>>147070012
Seems like AC weight usually corresponds to breast size with female pilots.
A lot of variation with Rosary and Fiona

>>147094290
Nah the guy you replied to
>>147083465
>weight usually corresponds to breast
Then any heavy weight male pilot have a huge penis?
>>147083465
One of the pilots that gets more variety is Lilium.
>>147107427
You're right actually. Maybe it's because her AC is grey and she's pretty out of focus for such a high rank
>>147109338
Well the game itself dont give her any love, despise being rank 2, still follow orders from a oldman, and had to live under the shadow of the previous ace of BFF. I bet that if the game explore her character, she will have some serious self esteem issues.
>>147110370
It seems that my expectations were misplaced, you are only half of a fighter that Mary was.
We just had a Free Battle going in VD for a few hours, was pretty fun. We even got a couple randoms, one guy with a stock emblem and a junk AC.
Oh, and who the fuck keeps letting all these people into the PSN chat?
>>147111337
not even her guardian shows love to her.
>>147112270
And the bastard runs away when things get hairy for him.
Unless, i assume you can kill him if you are fast enough?
>>147115142
nah, his escape is scripted, either by lilium defeat or you trying to kill him, he cant die. Belive me I try.
>>147115410
Either way, Lilium dies.
What a shame.
>>147115641
>What a shame.
It would be if we knew even a little more of her, I think she is one of the few top ranks you cant hire in any mission.
I've got some time before I go celebrate my buddy's demotion. Who wants to play VD?
>>147116882
It's a shame. I love being able to hire everyone.

>Oh god, I remember trying to DL the ZOE collection. It kept failing for a week straight.
So I set it to download overnight during my internet plan's off-peak hours. It said it had a few hours to go when I went to sleep. Woke up in the morning and it had stopped at 25%.
This could take a while...

Can't find Last Raven in the UK anywhere. Not convinced it ever existed here.
Also why didn't we get Project Phantasma here? Or the ability to transfer saves between AC2 and AA?
Does everyone just hate Europe.
>>147145723
Pretty sure Last Raven exists in yurop. It's just rare af
>>147147690
It definitely exists, just finding it is awkward. I found a few other yuro versions but I'm not sure if they're in English or not.
>>147147861
Why wouldn't they be? Here in Germany we didn't get translated AC games until Gen 5. Pretty sure the games only exist in English and Japanese.

Oh and Ahab, I think we might need to coordinate a bit if we wanna successfully run some sorties because timezone shenanigans.

Hm. That's going to be tricky, those are the days I'm least free.
I'm sure we'll hammer something out.
>>147111634
I've been wondering that myself. Well, at the very least, we can always fall back on the Vagrant Guns chat. Man, I don't think that thing's been used in at least a year and a half.
>>147050260
Ah dangit, I knew I forgot to do something last night. Shoot me a request while you're at it, I'll get back to it on Tuesday.
>>147145723
Well, the series isn't shy on blowing up landmarks, like the eiffel tower. Perhaps her majesty, the queen, didn't see the series as friendly to her country.
