wtf would armored souls even be? how would it play?
I'd rather have, you know
AC6
>>319425836
Why would you want something like that?
>>319426391
we have this cool fun mix of grounded and aerial combat in AC1-3, arguably 5.
We have fun as hell fast paced aerial combat in AC4
You know what? Let's just make the mechas run around, and roll :)
Why can't they nail gameplay on an Armored Core game like they did with Souls?
>>319426579
It already got perfected twice, once in Last Raven and again in 4A
Verdict Day alright though
I own a PS2 and PS3.
I want to get into AC since I like mechs.
What one should I start with?
>>319426579
4A was perfect though.
>>319426997
AC2, AC3 and their related expansions IMO. Good old days when L2/R2 were used to look up and down. Played the crap out of them.
But beware, AC is a series for gearheads, you'll spend as much time in the shop and hanger as actually piloting the damn thing.
>>319427435

>>319426246
Wondering if they did a AC6, what kind of ACs they'd have.
Sleek ones or boxy ones?I don't give a damn which one, I'd like to see both and mix and match the parts.
>>319427780

>>319424970
Another Century's Episode 4 when?
Don't talk about R.
>>319427371
It wasn't though. It felt clunky, at least to me. Maybe that was the point, being in a giant robot and all, but the gameplay never really clicked for me.
Same with AC3 even though I played the shit out of that. But at least then it was more obviously the case since the robots were big and slow, while in AC4 they are supposed to be super agile. I just felt the control scheme didn't quite keep up
>>319425836

>>319425836
>fromsoft making a game with mecha

>>319433907

But why? Souls games are fucking amazing. Is there no other games with mechs in them?
>>319434038
>>fromsoft making a game with mecha
Just pretending to be retarded, etc.
>>319434434
Golems are not mechs.
>>319434434
I agree with their decision to stop at 3.
It would be bad if they oversaturated the market and they were releasing the games pretty steadily. As long as 3 is good, Im happy with them ending the series there.
And Im sure someone else will make more games similar to them.
I've always wanted a mech game where you are stranded on a planet with others. Desperately trying to salvage tech/munitions, ripping arms and legs off other mechs for use.
Base building etc. End game being escaping the planet with a jury rigged spacecraft

I could never get into AC because of the controls
why can't they just have normal lock on like every other mecha game
>>319435706
Good God, this.
>>319424970
We have a shitton of Armored Core games already, and all of 3 is solid gold.
Let it die anon, it's had a good run.
>>319437470
Not that anon, but they could at least consider to release AC4, 4Answer, ACV, and Verdict Day on the PC.
>>319436781
I felt the control scheme worked well for the earlier ACs since you are in a giant kinda clunky robot. You can argue the stiffness of the controls is intentional.
In 4, I just felt the controls were more of a hinderance than anything else, especially sicne they are supposed to be like super agile machines yet the controls have trouble keeping up.
I haven't played 5 so I can't comment on them.
>>319437651
A port of the 7th gen ones would be cool. Metal Wolf Chaos too.
>>319437746
First they need to localize it.
Still dunno why they never released it outside of Japan.
>>319437651
Why? It wouldn't sell.
>>319437878
The dialogue is all in English, all you've got to do is put English text in. Somebody already made a partial patch when I checked.
>>319437910
You don't know it unless you try.
>>319438004
There is someone who's translating the game's text?
>>319437674
AC4 controls were fine for the most part. The difficulty came from the loss of the FCS box, so you were never really sure if you were targetting something correctly when quickboosting like a madman.
ACV control were actually nice. The biggest problem, for me at least, was that you didn't have the freedom to go vertical like in the previous games. Movement felt very restricted as a result, despite it being faster than the PS1/2 games and nearly as mobile as AC4/FA.
>>319438131
I pirated it for my Xbox and used this. Only a handful of stuff was actually changed though.

Might be cool. Conquest would have all the same problems is had on consoles, though.
>VD
You don't want that.
>>319438268
Dude, you have that mixed. VD fixed most of V's problems, V was a shit game. You should probably play the games before making statements like that.
>>319438131
No it wouldn't sell. Mecha games are a console thing and PCkeks only play CSGO and Dota or overhyped trash like Dark Souls. Niche games like Armored Core would sell extremely poorly so there's no point in porting it.
>>319424970
I want giant robots on PC.
>>319438415
>mech
>console thing
That's the most retarded thing I've heard.
>>319438413
I got platinum on both games.
VD is basically V with new weapons, which almost nobody uses because the meta is based on weapons from V and sometimes using a ridiculously overpowered pair of legs introduced in VD, and terrible, unfun maps that are almost single-handedly responsible for creating the very dull meta.
V, on the other hand, had awesome free battle maps that let you have a lot of fun.
If the games got a PC release, V's most significant problem, the framerate, would be fixed and there'd basically be no reason to play VD because it's dull and unbalanced. Well, more unbalanced.
>>319438415
From have a bigger PC presence nowadays.
>>319438415
> What is Mechwarrior?
>>319438827
Why? Mech games are dead on PC. The only thing you have right now is a F2P P2W game that killed the chances of ever seeing a proper sequel to the series.
>>319438878
No they don't, only more Soulshitters. Most people don't even know that the guys who made Dark Souls ever made more games.
>>319439004
Dead F2P P2W trash.
>love mechs
>have played next to no mech games
i need fixing, where do i start?
>>319439090
Ring of Red.
>>319439090
Well since this is an AC thread, go ahead and emulate the portable ports of 3, Silent Line and Last Raven in that order.
>>319439056
Perfect, memers who want to play "hardcore" games for some kind of credit.
>>319439157
That seems kinda like throwing him into the deep end don't you think?
>>319439090
Id recommend Front Mission 3 or 4. They are SRPGS but with very customizable mechs.
>>319439252
>emulate the portable ports of 3, Silent Line and Last Raven in that order
Do the PS2 games not emulate well? why would you suggest playing PS2 ACs with less buttons?
>>319439252
God, do you hate him? He should play the ps2 versions.
>>319439502
They emulate fine.
The PSP ports have a complete clusterfuck control scheme but since you can remap, that's not going to be a problem, you can make it just like the PS2.
And the portable version of SL and LR have a save import feature which gives you a much needed hand.
I just want AC3 and its expansions avaliable for ps4. FROM PLS
I NEVER EVEN PLAYED LAST RAVEN AND THE PSP PORT LOOKS LIKE ASS.
>>319439403
I'm a "sink or swim" kind of person.
But mostly I just want more people to play Ring of Red.
>>319439090
Okay, maybe put off Ring of Red for a bit, but try to find it.
Zone of the Enders should be a decent start. There's an HD collection available, make sure you get any available patches. Most people will tell you the first game is optional because it kinda sucks, and they're partially right. The first game kinda sucks. Still, I'd say it's at least worth playing for the little bit of information it brings and so you can see just how much they improved the second game. ZoE2 is a classic.
This E3.

Everything else felt good.
>>319440090
Then why don't you just play dynamite and kick everyone to death?
>>319439762
So does the PS2 version of Last Raven. I think Silent Line does as well.
And they borked the AI for the final boss of Last Raven turning her from very hard to nearly impossible in the psp version.
Besides the graphics take a hit.

>>319440419

They are emulate-able though so they might as well be on PC

God, Omega Boost is so good. Polyphony makes one not-racing game EVER, and it's a 9/10.
kind of wish the earlier levels ramped up a bit more difficulty wise though, it's a damn long while before I'm in any danger
and then by the third boss on, it just gets all in and doesn't let up
>>319440754
Then why would they say that?
>>319440568
Any importing options in Nexus or Ninebreaker?
>From declares AC dead

Battle Assault series
>>319441098

>>319440804
Nexus was a massive rebalance from AC3 and Silent Line. They introduced boosting heat and changed how weapons worked so left and right handed versions were interchangeable. Along with finally adding 2nd analog stick support for 2, which resulted in FCS lock boxes shrinking.
Since they skipped Nexus and Ninebreaker for the PSP remakes, they simply let you import data from 3 and SL. Except they kept some of the changes Nexus made, like having smaller lock boxes.
>>319425665
Sounds a lot like Chromehounds

>>319434038
Either bait or I've really read a bottom of the barrel post.
Can anyone attest to jumping into verdict day with no ACV data? It seems too difficult but I'm willing if it's worth it.
>>319440928
Because it's an easy way to hype up their 3rd game in a franchise after everyone shat on the 2nd one.
"it's our last one, please enjoy it."
It also makes it easier for people to buy when they think it'll be the ~last~ one, making it a little more special than the first sequel.
>>319441098
I bought V and VD and I enjoyed them greatly. but all you 4A kiddies bitched and moaned that it 5th gen actually played like AC instead of hypersonic jet jousting for answer edition and nobody bought the games. so you only got yourself to blame
>>319441725
>after everyone shat on the 2nd one
Dark Souls II has excellent reviews actually, only a few people hate it.
>>319441565
No, Nexus was effectively a new series despite reusing most of the assets from 3 and SL.
>>319441725
You realize 4chan is where most of the people who hated it stay. The general reception was pretty damn good.
And it was a good game. Not as good as the first and had its flaws, but if it had been the first installment, Im sure /v/ would have liked it more as a whole.
>>319442634
>And it was a good game
here we go again
>>319440736
Yes. Yes I did.
It had a mostly submerged version of Marine Facility and what might have been a very small cut of Huge Canyon with a new bridge added in. You might be able to argue that there was a small chunk of Executive Sector, but they changed that small chunk so much that it's nothing like the old. That's all that came from V in regards to maps.
You know, I'm starting to think you haven't played one or even both of the games.
>>319441073
I think you might be able to import emblems? Not totally sure.
>>319441709
>Can anyone attest to jumping into verdict day with no ACV data? It seems too difficult but I'm willing if it's worth it.
Certainly a little more difficult, but it's not terrible. The first lot of missions are really easy so you can afford some nonjunk parts and then really get rolling.

At least they're not MIA anymore.
Real talk: FROM was never good at making mecha games. The first couple Armored Core games were nice but nothing amazing, while the rest of the series has ranged from mediocre to utter shit.
I would rather get my mecha fix from SRW, those Gundam games that actually play/feel like how they do in the show not the shitty musou ones, Front Mission, and ZoE.
Though I wouldn't mind if they adapt a lot of what they learned from the Souls/Bloodborne games to Armored Core, giving it the right type of complexity and interesting but still being different from a typical Souls game because Armored Core requires an actually good ranged combat system.
>>319443393
>armored core nothing amazing
>likes ZOE
Fuck off retard.
>>319443393
what they need to do is reinvent the formula. its going to upset a lot of ACfags sure, but imo it should play more like chromehounds, a game where you actually had to AIM
Feels good to be a Wii U owner. I feel bad for you guys through, my friend los Armore core games to death, and we all know the soul games shifted that focus away.

>>319443478
>As if there's something wrong with ZoE
>>319443552
This. And adapting some things from the Souls games is the best way to do it in terms of getting new fans and having a good direction overall.
>>319443393
>The first couple Armored Core games were nice
>while the rest of the series has ranged from mediocre to utter shit
What the fuck am I reading exactly?
>>319443757
Well it's not like it's hard to pirate.
>>319443787
ZoE is fun but it's literally baby's first mecha game, it's casual as shit with no customization and options.
>>319443787
Zoe is like Armored Core but for retards who don't understand mech building and a shitty Kojima story to go along with it.
When someone says they don't like AC but like ZoE I just assume you're a retard who doesn't know how to play AC so it must be bad.
>>319424970
no, you get yearly souls clones from now until 2020

>>319443953
>>319444001
You don't play ZoE for the customization options though. That's what I have imported Gundam games and the SRPGs for (in the case of the Gundam games they do customization much better, too in terms of balance.) If you guys like Armored Core and aren't afraid of some importing I would highly recommend you guys check those out actually.

ACVD was way better than DaS2 though, and a game where you control a mecha that moves like a human and rolls on the ground sounds pretty underwhelming to me.
>>319443953
It's a straight action game with mechs. Not every mech game needs customization.
>>319445109
Pretty much.
>>319445383
>It's a straight action game with mechs
That makes it dull. One of the key points of the genre is the customization. You could replace all the robots with lolis in ZoE and it'd be amuch bettergame.
>>319445206
Feels great man, it feels like you actually own it and not just something you get handed over.
>>319445206
At this point I'd rather have a real one, I'd never leave it and love it more than anything.
>>319445527
Nah, Jehuty is much more fuckable than lolis.
>>319425836

>>319445527
What? No. Mecha isn't one exact game genre and stop trying to make it one. What ZoE lacks in the customization part it more than makes up for in its action part. You can have a field day customizing your mech in Armored Core, but when controlling and playing the actual damn mech isn't as much fun what's the point?

At least I used action replay on it to get myself shitloads of cash and bought everything right away.

Armored Core was their first successful formula. And they milked the SHIT otu of it.

If a "mecha" game doesn't have customization, it's not a mecha game. It's just whatever genre with robots in it.

You can't buy insurance, the insurance comes with them and once you run out, you can't replenish them forcing you to pay for damages
>>319441447
I played it for a really brief period and when I remembered it existed Nexon already killed it
>>319446238
But AC's gameplay is much more complex and refined than ZoE's.
ZoE is really good but you can't deny that it's easy as hell, you can easily muscle through hard mode by spamming blade and dodge attacks.
Jehuty being broken is actually one of the fun things about the game, other than the tight controls.
>>319447095
Hey man good to see someone with taste
>>319447279
Yea I last played it like 5-7 years ago
>>319443393
I played nearly all entries in the series and I have to agree.
Looking back, I kept buy new AC games because I was never satisfied, I kept hopping it would transform into an amazing mecha simulator and.. it didn't.
The only games I skipped are 4 and 4A. I'm not sure if I should even bother. V killed my soul.
>>319447420
AC has always had low scores because it's too hard for casuals.
>>319447706
not really. its because they're short, mediocre games
Zone of the Enders 2 is the best action game ever made.
>>319447931
Lets not go overboard. Its a good game but Id hardly say its GOAT
>>319447931
You sure supported that statement with a shitty animated opening.

I don't know if you're still here but I like you. I've wanted Ace Combat (for tanks) for fucking YEARS. Something that's not too simmy but not absolutely arcadey with a cool story set in a fictional world that allows for semi-modern tank battles without ww3 breaking out. If you can have customisable tanks as well that would be fucking beast.

First two are, what, Demonbane and final form Gurren?
Anti-Spiral, I guess.
>>319450186
Nah, it's a rpg maker game about a girl who uses sex to power her mech

>wanting more AC after fromsoft butchered the series with the gen 7 games
Just go play zoe or something. Fromsoft hit a bulls eye with souls gameplay let them relish in it for a bit, AC never was as big as souls is in the west. The old AC games were clunky as shit but highly customizable with a high learning curve. The new games were fast paced boost dash shit fests, and with little effort you could design a mech that could do anything with built in energy shielding and limitless flight.

1. Demonbane
2. Tengan Toppen Gurren Lagaan
3. Xenogears
4. God Gundam
5. Zinv

>God Gundam
Wouldn't that spot be for Turn A
What if Square made a Kingdom Hearts like mech game where you can control mechanized versions of various FF character that can use all their moves?
>>319450375
Already done.

Wrong
1. Demonbane
2. Getter Emperor
3. Xenogears
4. Shurouga
5. RahXephon
>>319450953
Nah, this game actually sees your girl having sex with her mech in the cockpit through metallic tentacles and stuff to use elemental attacks
>>319450953
But that's a mecha piloted by a male pervert, not a female slut

This so much. Every AC game gets old too fast. There are tons of customization but the gameplay itself has next to zero variety, especially in singleplayer. Lategame is almost always a boring shitfest. They need a strong core or AC will remain a niche (in a bad way) title for mechafags who only play it because that's the best they've got on jMechs. I wouldn't go for ZoE as an inspiration but they need more than just repetitive empty missions with no mechanics just auto-aim nonstop firing and endless boosting. It's a shame since it could be so much more with just a little shift of priorities and some more effort put into it. I bet they've got money now that they have souls, so maybe the next one...
>>319451542
The antagonist is a female slut who please penguins for power.
>>319451563
>the gameplay itself has next to zero variety, especially in singleplayer
Then play vs. mode like you're supposed to. You're essentially complaining that Street Fighter's arcade mode is boring.
>>319451628
Sounds hot dood
>>319443393
>adapt a lot of what they learned from the Souls/Bloodborne games
>wanting metabuilds to even hamper AC series even much more
no dude. You want another 4a bladelagfest or large missiles in V?
should I jump in with 5 VD?
Is online community still alive?
>>319452191
Only JP is still active. Other regions are deader than doornails.
>>319451787
I said especially, not only. Meta (if I may use that word) is shitty too, not enough viable mechs, not enough differences between them, most of the time you don't even feel like you are piloting a mech, V tried to change that and they kinda did but it's still got tons of it's own problems and could be so much more. Souls is on another quality level completely gameplay-wise, AC is a spreadsheet in comparison, not that I have anything against them but it's supposed to be an action game so where is the quality action?
>>319451787
That's silly though, because focusing on the multiplayer you get titles like V and VD. Fun games maybe right after launch, dead now. And for a series like that which is already unpopular in the West?
>>319452062
There's always been meta in AC. Lightweights were king in AC3, tank builds were unstoppable in Silent Line, and Nexus was all about heat.
>>319452356
The series has always had a strong multiplayer focus.
>>319452191
It sucks being European.
>>319452474
That's fine, but it lands us in the situation like we are now, where the games have perfunctory single players and nothing else.
That said, FROM have presumably learned some lessons in making the Souls games, ones they could translate into a new AC. Hell, look at Demon's Souls; even if the servers are shut down, that's still a good game by itself.
>>319452969
I hope custom servers happen in DeS. THey exist for MGS4 at least.
>>319452191
On the weekends you might find people who have mostly been playing since the start.
>>319452276
Active is an interesting word for it. It's more active, but it's certainly dying. All the fun people already abandoned ship, only two groups of people left:
The ones that use the meta and let it carry them to victory.
The ones that use the meta and are actually pretty good at the game so you can't really get much done unless you're on par with them.
>even the general thread seems to be missing
are they finally ded?
>>319425836
Hopefully never.
Keep that shit out of AC.
>>319453140
I wouldn't count on it, those Vagrants are like a bunch of roaches. It'll come up sooner or later.
>>319435314
>>319435539
this looks fun as fuck
>>319450621
AC4A is the best in the series.
Hey.
I guess there's little need for words?
>>319453756
It's dead as fuck.
We can't have nice things.
>>319452969
>even if the servers are shut down
The servers are still available.
>>319435314
>>319435539
What game is this?
>>319455682
It was referred to as Project HON, but it's rotting with the others now.
