amored core/other mech games thread
>>316396523
Just picked up Armored Core 4 used the other day, but have yet to play it.
What should I expect, played one on ps2 I think a bunch back in the day.
Master Race reporting, weeb robo-ballerinas made of spikes and fairy dust and fueled by teenage angst need not apply.
So how exactly does saving in AC:Nexus work? Seems a bit weird.
Christ do people STILL play ACV? Let it go people.

I'm not even a battletech grognard and that game pissed me off. Powerups? Really?
With any luck the new Battletech turn-based game will be good.
And Living Legends is still on life support.
>>316396523

Robots are dead.
What the fuck even happened to SRW?

>>316401882
You mean on the new battletech game?
Harebrained schemes just got done running a kickstarter for it that raised close to $3M.
Totally unrelated to mechwarrior tactics.
Are there any decent Mech games out there right now? Or anything on the horizon? Hell even indie something that can scratch that Mech itch.
As much as I enjoy Soulsborne, From Soft needs to give it a break and make a new Armored Core.
>>316402714
Yeah that was it. I remembered the "art" and the "netcode" but not its name.
>>316402798
Brigador might do it.
>still no metal gear game made by fromsoft where you can customize your own gears and fight other players
>>316396523
Are there any good mech games on PC like Armored Core? I haven't really felt like playing on my console.
>>316400439
Battletech got 3 million on Kikestarter and has a team with really promising credentials. Maybe it'll do good and drive up interest for a Mechwarrior game?
The guy who sued Mechwarrior 5 for having unseen mechs (he owns rights to the designs) died, so maybe they can restart development on that.
I hope anyway.Who /bushwacker/ here?
>>316402798
>Or anything on the horizon?
Project Nimbus.
Made by the guys who sell viagra as their full time job while jerking onto Armored Core For Answer in their free time.

ive never played ac how should I go about getting into it?
Mechwarrior Online is the best thing we have on the genre right now, and that doesn't say much.
It's like there's a good game always struggling to come out of it, with a slow as molasses development, and certainly good ideas, but poor execution all the way.
What the fuck PGI.

This information has no business bringing me such joy.
Dear Christ, how much do I want a new Mechwarrior with shiny new particle effects and part damage mechanics.And a new MechCommander too, but that will never happen.

I dare anyone in this thread to name a better intro than MW3's.

AC3 is a good starting point if you want traditional controls. AC3: Silent Line is just an expansion to perfect the system.
AC Nexus if you want modern analogue aiming. AC Last Raven is the sequel that's hard to recommend to new players.
AC 4 or For Answer if you want easier but still fun mecha game with the focus on speed.
AC Verdict Day if you want a mesh of old and new with good multiplayer.
>>316404258
> Tfw equipping a squad of Bushwackers with 3 X-Pulse lasers each.
Literally gamebreaking. It's a beautiful unstoppable stream of red laser machineguns of death.
>>316404434
Even then you're giving it far too much credit. The base game was built by Smith & Tinker. I've fallen out of the loop of what's happening, but judging from this filename it's not really been possible to play for quite some time. I think this is when the economy hit the toilet and stayed there.
>prenerf, even on loss got .9-1 mil credits, could grind out an unmodded Atlas in 9-10 games
>post nerf, took 5 games for a single ER PPC, if you won
I only get playing as I had 200mil in the bank at that point. Not installed right now though.
Reminder you don't need to buy Crysis anymore to play MWLL.
I'd start a shilling campaign to get people of Mechjew Online but I know it'll fail.
>>316404434
>Mechwarrior Online
>Better than Living Legends
Literally all it has on MWLL is a mechlab and a larger playerbase, and it wouldn't have had either if Pirhana hadn't dicked over the MWLL Devs.
Fuck MWO.
>>316405293
Games still fun regardless of the grind to me. I enjoy the new tier ranking system too actually. Even if it is a fucking grind as well to raise it. Im sure all the KONG circle jerks are going to swarm in here in a few minutes to talk shit even though they all stopped playing the game to get on the Star Citizen hype train.

AC: last raven is the original from software "difficult for the sake of difficulty" game.
>>316410538
I see it as a love letter to the fans. The difficulty was high but still incredibly fair and appropriately challenging, one only had to think a little.
A super tight and complex game designed to reward min maxing and wide variety of strategies. Love it.
>>316405050
> tfw waiting for PC AC
>>316410980
emulators are our only chance now
>>316410980
AC games up to AC: Nexus are easily emulated. For Nexus/Nine breaker and Last Raven you will need a hellish rig to play and even then only in software mode. But yeah for the newer ones just get 360.And for the PC wait for Project Nimbus.
Anyone play ring of red?
Tempted to buy it.
>>316411728
Best TRPG I ever played
ACV is actually fun if you can get people to play it with thats it
I think if they can get ACV to work on PC then maybe it might actually work as Arena mech shooter game
>>316407929
>>316408249
Damn this looks cool. Why do mech games always get cancelled and sell so poorly. Do people just not like the genre or something?

5 had a really bad single player and the multiplayer was a mess, VD fixed both but mostly the single player.
>>316417748
90% of 4's singleplayer content was sparse as fuck and really easy. MP is dead too.
V's armor and weapon balance was kinda shit, the MP mode was made with big populations in mind even though there's no people to play with.

You can also set it in a fantasy world that not all undead for a change.
It'd be like Xenogears but with good combat and some actual mech customization.

Yeah, if only Frame Gride didn't exist.

>>316419730
Last Raven is like from soft twisting your balls with difficulty.
Steel Strider just came out on steam. It's not too bad a game, albeit a little on the simple side.

Bad idea. You need a special mentality going into LR. It's beautifully constructed game once you get into it but requires patience.
>i think i read that 4 Answer is the best recent AC, can anyone confirm or deny? is it a good re-entry point?
Yeah ACFA is fun, go for it.
>>316419645
I don't know shit about that Anime, but in reality when some kind of armor is penetrated the entire round doesn't need to pass through to hurt people or damage vital components.
I'd say he's getting hit by the bullets penetrator, which is probably pretty small after going through his mech cockpit.
>>316420397
>>316420026
Well, if you're interested in the ps3/360 games, FA and VD are the better ones.
Both are very different from the PS2 games though.
>>316420704
I'm a fan of every Armored Core, bar Ninebreaker. Even AC4 and ACV have their strong points.
And to think, our only hope lies with Xenoweeaboo X and Kickstarterwarrior.
>>316420031
which one(s) ?
MWO doesn't count, I think the cockpit hitboxes are from one side only and also 4 pixels in size.

A flechette used for piercing armored vehicles should still mulch a human no problem.
Speaking of which, I love this shit to death. How's the PS3 game?
Never played a mech game. Where do I start?
>>316423303
It's free, you just pay for the individual planes and the Su-25T is free. Each plane has more work put into than an average AAA game so it makes sense. There is also like a dozen sales per year where most of them are 50% off or so. Just stick to the aircraft you want most.
Go look at Train Simulator. All the DLC is like 4000 shekels or something.
>>316423519
do you prefer fast paced action games or rpg tactics
action: zone of the enders 2 or armored core 4 answer
tactics: front mission 3 or 4, or ring of red
>>316423459
shittier because its an rpg instead of mission simulator
>>316423695
>RoR
Great game but so fucking SLOW
>>316423425
Depends entirely on the caliber and how thick the armor is and how much velocity it retains after penetration. The bullet could be traveling anywhere from from liquefy tissue fast to leave a welt fast.
So no, not necessarily.
>>316423616
Guess I'll go with Flanker then.
I don't have consoles anymore.
Any games for PC similar to Armored Core?
I love the customization. Played Armored Core 4 to death.

Its already shit dude. I'm more interested in M.A.V. because it actually looks good but development is taking forever it seems.
>>316424554
It's okay, there are still emulators. Surely you haven't played EVERY Armored Core title yet, right?
>>316421478
I do love how disposable your mech is in that game.
When shit start turning south you jump the fuck out and jet pack out of there, if you actually manage to get another mech it's so satisfying just how much it can turn the tables in your favor.
Or you could go around an per-damage one you think your opponent will try to escape to.
>>316424650

Will it be a for-realsies Front Mission? Because if it's not a strategy game then it doesn't count.

Guys

PostSora no Woto spider tank webms. I know you have them.I need them.
How do I git gud at Armored Core? Some of these arena fights seem impossible to me without cheese, these jumpy aerial motherfuckers just destroy me. The top ten ones are also cheating, I swear (using heavy back-mounted weapon on the move with biped legs, or even in midair). I'm playing AC2, btw.
>>316425509
That's because its been canned.
>we will never get a new AC due to Soulsfags
>we will never get a new ZoE because of 'muh big boss' fags
>we will never get a good Mechwarrior game again because of 'muh esports' fags
being a mecha fan is suffering
>>316425526
I got nothing but damn that show was great.
>>316425340
Yeah but evolve happened so it's invalid now for some reason.
Don't ask me why I don't make the rules.
>>316425630
I wonder why they canned that, and released MWO. I'd much rather have a MW5
>>316426061
because f2p "Esportz" make more money

fuck this game
>>316416889
You can play the prequel onX-Box
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_Crash
>>316426816
Probably better that way. Another season and they'd have found a way to fuck it up somehow like everything else.
>>316426018
The last "arc" was generic drivel with a one-dimensional antagonist. Everything before that was golden though.
Have any of you fine folks played R-Type Tactics (especially 2)?
The mechs featured in it, while often not as flexible (ironic, huh?) as most R series fighters, hit pretty fucking hard. They're practically among your best units, though,once you play as the fucking Bydo.
>>316411728
That game is almost good. Damn shame they never tried to improve it in a sequel.
>>316427841

Nigga it's in moonrunes, how the fuck do I play that
>>316425884
>we never got a new ZoE because of 'muh big boss' fags
fixed, it's all gone now
>>316428374
But ZoE is a konami property. Without Kojima all they will do is continue to shit out MGS because only Koji cared bout ZoE
>>316428309
Hold on a second. Don't let that shit dismay you, senpai. If you've ever played an untranslated SRW game in your life, you can handle this shit. It's honest, challenging fun once you get the gist of it.Okay. I give up. For starters, look up R-Type Command. That's the Western version of Tactics. Tactics 2 has no translation as of yet, (which also makes me cry in my sleep)but it'ssoul-crushingly hardcompared to the first game.

Flaming Cliffs 3 is the most valuable one and comes with like 6 jets. Buy the others if you're a serious flight sim player because they have full cockpit interaction and shit.

I tried playing mechwarrior online and hated it.
I grew up playing mechwarrior 4 with a joystick, and i cant pilot a mech with keyboard and mouse, what the fuck?
also i dont want to grind for my equipment. I miss mechwarrior 4's style of gameplay, where you just built your mech however you wanted and then just got right into combat, no losses and no gains, just fun and skill
>>316419689
>no mecha game will ever copy G-reco's setting
Good
It's a fucking piece of shit trainwreck
Hell, I cancelled my preorder of Extreme Force because it has Self in it
I hate G-rectum so much
If anyone likes roguelikes, try GearHead: Arena.
It's more along the lines of a typical rpg rather than roguelike. You basically have a world you can wander around in, do quests, gather equipment, increase skills, build/buy/salvage mechs, and fight the shit out of other people on foot or in a mecha. Or, if you're really powerful fight mechs on foot (wouldn't recommend this). It has all the tropes you typically find in mecha anime, with a bunch of random generation, so you can expect clones of your character, rivals, love interests, ancient biomechanical weapons, and other shit.
It has graphics, which are kinda meh, so it's not just symbols and letters. But I sort of preferred the ASCII over the graphics. If you want a tip, since like all the info about the game went down with its website, the best early-mid game mech is the Zerosaiko. It's dodgy, durable, and can kill things dead in melee. Late game is up to you, but I recommend a highly custom Savin. Also, I believe there are two completely unique mechs (although one of them isn't really a mech) that you can get, one you gotta find after a difficult as balls quest and one you get from fighting in the arena.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gearhead/files/gearhead/1.100/
There's a sequel, called GearHead 2, but I was never really able to get into it. It takes place in space, and is more like Gundam. I'm not sure if it was even completely finished. The author said he was making a lot of changes to it, but that was years ago.

What are some games with mechs, tanks and infrantry?
>>316429895
MW 4 was the fucking shit for single and multiplayer.
>>316430582

a lot of RTS games really
>>316430582
no tanks, but ring of red has small infantry units assigned to each mech that help it fight and operate

>>316431079
>cockpit
wish there was something I could do to see mechwarrior or armored core get revived. I consider them to be the best at the genre and its so unfair that they're dead. if there was a kickstarter or something I'd happily pay a heavy amount to see either game come back into light.
instead I can only sit here and either replay the older games or just dream about what a new game would be like
>>316396523
Been playing ac nine breaker on ps2, pretty cool how u have most parts unlocked at start
If ACV and VD werent so shitty, Armored Core might still be alive.
They had cool ideas and concepts that they absolutley blundered like the ultimate weapons, and transforming arm parts. And the whole wall jumping instead of actual flying, copy pasted parts, horrible frame rate, retarded damage system, etc just all added up to me really hating the games.
Would fucking love them to make a new game, but have it be actually fucking good.
>>316424909
I loved the AC series but the gotta go fast in 4 killed the series for me. Did it recover or is it still gotta go fast bs.
>>316432526
V/VD slowed it down again but they're still shit games
>>316432707
Is the series still about big corporations waging war and ai secretly taking over.
I wish we got a full-on super robot game for once.
Seems like most mecha games are in the 'real robot' category. I know /m/ hates classifying the two, but fuck it, I want my badass super robot. ZotE2 is the closest thing to what I want.
What Armored Core games are worth playing btw?
>>316429895
>>316430728
You know you guys can play MW4: Mercs for free with hundreds of extra mechs RIGHT NOW, right?

>Is the series still about big corporations waging war and ai secretly taking over.
Pretty much. Verdict Day is kind of terribkle because its and expansion onto ACV, but its sort of alright. VDs story would have been great is if was in a better playing AC game.
The trailer explain it pretty well.

>>316432284
I heard (having never played it) Nine Breaker save files can carry over to Last Raven. You'll really need those parts.
>>316434486
Nexus does as well. Easy way to make 5 million dollars right away.
>>316430582
for mechs and tanks supcom FAF, no infantry though
RA3 and C&C tiberium wars games had mechs infantry and tanks.
>>316436785
In games like TA/PA/SupCom, bots are basically infantry

not quite there yet, act of aggression released recently and ashes of the singularity is coming out at some point, COH2 still kicking with content released regularly.
I hope ashes of the singularity turns out to be as good as forged alliance but I my hopes aren't high especially after the disaster that was planetary annihilation.
>>316433076
Is there online? If so, is it active?
>>316438092
No, but there is plenty of singleplayer content to justify a download.

I-is both MW and Macross finally saved for the West due to this?
>>316403843
My friend showed me a recent build of the Early Access version of PN. It's pretty cool and most likely plays a bit better than Strike Suit with a pad, but I don't think my toaster can handle it. Might give it a try.
All that Macross Missile Spam looks so good.
>>316425618
Yeah, actually, the upper echelon fucks are Human+, so they literally are cheating.
My advice: buy the pursuit missiles, and challenge people on the highway map. Don't hop off the tower you spawn on top of. Wait for them to get in close, then launch the missile pod, and it should completely fuck up the other guy.
>>316433049
Armored Core 2 is classic
Another age is pretty good
then the next 4 are similar from what i recall, Silent line and Nexus Stand out
4Answer is based miyazaki really updating the controls and very good
Played a bit of V and a lot about it was really great in theory and but didnt execute great
How awful is Armored Core V?
>>316446578
>Played a bit of V and a lot about it was really great in theory and but didnt execute great
VD fixed a lot about it, enough to make it really enjoyable.
But in the end the game was flawed at it's core, that couldn't be fixed.
Is TSF Forefront out yet?

The Transformers games are god tier games. Must plays for robot fans.
>>316447007
>How awful is Armored Core V?
Its pretty bad. But if you can find it super cheap its worth a go for the single player story. It gets pretty cool towards the end. But my main list of things that piss me off in ACV are down below. I could keep going, but these are my main and biggest gripes with the game.
>you can jump, but can no longer fly around freely like in every older game
>have to fucking wall jump and bounce around off walls and shit to gain height and speed in the air
>damage system is like playing rock paper scissors
>3 damage types in the game, and most parts specialize in one area of damage defense
>this means that you end up with an AC thats weak to everything by balancing out your defense, or an AC thats strong against one or two types of damage and dies instantly to the ones its weak against
>SCAN MODE, cool concept, shit integration
>lets you see through walls Batman arkahm games style when you pop a little scanning probe out of your core to see enemys and scan them to see all their stats
>screen goes into a grey xray vision sort of thing
>can scan an enemy AC and quickly check its strengths and weaknesses and prey on those weaknesses to kill them quickly
>sounds good right?
>while in scan mode you cannot fire any weapons
>while in scan mode you have a much faster energy recharge rate
>when you go into scan mode the computer shouts SCAN MODE ACTIVATED, and then SCAN MODE DEACTIVATED
>they gimped generator outputs so that going into scan mode is mandatory just to keep your energy levels bumped up while in a fight
>so what you end up with is an intense fight and SCAN MODE ACTIVATED every few seconds switching the fucking mode on and off with your screen flashing between having color and going grey xray vision and it annoys the fuck out of me

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
HAHAHA.
Before Namco took over there was almost a new AC game every year for longer than a decade. Now when asked about a new AC game, or ANY new games, they basically confirmed that Fromsoftware is a Darksouls factory now because lol Namco. They are only working on Darksouls and Darksouls spinoffs like Bloodborne now.
Everybodys favorite Miyazaki even said hed love to revisit Armored Core and some of their other titles, but its not up to him. He told fans that they'll have to let namco know that want a new Armored Core.
>>316448613

>USA! USA! USA!
>unavoidable bombing runs that force your plane into a rail shooter mode where you drop bombs while the plane flies itself
>dog fight mode and quicktime events
What the fuck were they thinking.
I havent played it, but at least the Assault Horizon Legacy 3DS game gave us a bitching soundtrack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m1tbVBmTZw
>>316450579
Scamco is publishing Souls 3 so I assume From still has a contract to fulfill with them to make x amount of games or something.
Armored Core was never good.
The whole series was shit.
>>316450963
DFM was actually a really cool mechanic for multiplayer. Made things exciting and less circley.
Actually, you know what, Assault Horizon's multiplayer was really good despite the main game being markedly less so.
>>316404821
I still go back and watch this intro all the time. In this age of remasters, where the fuck is my MW3 remake?
>>316451190
You are shit.
>>316415270
I fucking miss Chromehounds. Tarakian for life.
Ive promised myself that if I ever win a huge lottery jackpot im buying the Mechwarrior title, or at least getting ahold of it to make a full singleplayer game with a huge multiplayer mode.
And if thats not possible Id just make my own mech game, with blackjack and hooker, and everything else Ive ever wanted in a mech game.
Why do most PC mecha games go for the Mechwarrior style of 'realistic and slow but not quite actual mecha'? Then again I guess that's the difference between mechs and mechas, huh? The closest I've ever seen to Japanese-style is Heavy Gear and that's just one giant homage in the first place.
It's like, I have nothing against Mechwarrior but it just isn't my type of mech game. I prefer the alternative. But we constantly get shafted on PC, and some notable titles (particularly Macross ones) stay in Japan.
>>316451930
You'd have to use most of your fortune to deal with legal fuckwhatery from Harmony Gold if you tried. They still think they own Macross even though they're nothing but a West Coast real estate company nowadays.
>>316450963
They should have kept the same title they had for the jap version "Ace Combat: Cross Rumble" sounds a lot more appealing than Assault Horizon, the game a shitton of people hated.
Its a pretty neato game though, you get a lot more customization with your plane, custom color schemes and parts that change speed, armor, lock on and other crap. default controls are junk, classic controls are kinda fiddly with some aircraft being super sensitive, overall really solid though
>>316451876
>I fucking miss Chromehounds.
Would you be happy to know that a guy is making a Chrome Hounds clone for PC?
Only problem is that hes basiclaly doing it all alone, with a little help here and there from an artist and a sound design guy. So its taking fucking forever for anything to get done.
I wish this guy all the luck in the world on his project. Would love for this to end up being amazing.

Yeah I know about MAV, and god speed to its one developer, but it'll never be the same.
Heavy Gear Assault might end up being fun if the devs actually do all the stuff they say they want to do.
Its still in the early stages, but its already shaping up pretty good.
