By my expirience playing BB, I can say the game is more a case of early game hell than fucking hard all the time...unless you are doing a defiled chalice.

I swear, Imagine if From made every game as buggy and poorly coded as Dark Souls on the PC, or ACV. That would be Bethesda's entire lineup.

I'd ask if we're having an ACFA tourney, but I'm not a prancing fruit who likes gobbling weiners. So I'll pass on that.

>>121728365
Have you even seen the other generals? Whether they're posting porn of underage characters (pretty much any Nintendo game) or raging about because someone ganked them in a laggy online game (Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter) or they're too busy jacking off to waifus (Katawa Shoujo and more recently Undertale).
Here the thread may be dead, but everyone is generally respectful and there's some decent OC created. Plus, we actually talk about video games instead of ecelebs or twitter posts.
>>121733254
Nobody on the souls related generals mentions laggy players outside of off-handed comments. /acg/ isn't a good general because nothing is here. 30% of posts are bumping, nobody talks about actual things that matter about the games because there's nothing to talk about. Half of the anons here don't like gen 5, a small few vocally dislike gen 4. Nobody talks about gens 1, 2, and 3 outside of comments saying what ACs and pilots are cool because we know everything there is to know about those. /acg/ isn't just dead, it's stagnant. There hasn't and won't be anything new here that hasn't been said before, and won't be of a high quality.
>>121733254

>>121734037
>Nobody on the souls related generals mentions laggy players outside of off-handed comments
It's inbetween the meme posting like "PRAISE LE SUN XD!" so yu don't notice it often.
>/acg/ isn't a good general because nothing is here.
Do you forget the people recalling their online battles in ACVD and ACFA? Not to mention the tournies and online sorties we do.
>Half of the anons here don't like gen 5, a small few vocally dislike gen 4.
At least people can be honest here. If you said anything negative about a game in its respective general, there'd be a million shitposters, followed by your post being removed. I consider being able to dislike an AC game as a positive to the people who frequent this thread.
>There hasn't and won't be anything new here that hasn't been said before, and won't be of a high quality.
Subjective.
>>121734037
I don't know if I prefer being stagnant or having a active thread full of memes, complaing about metas and waifu faggotry
>>121735671
As long as we have eachother were gonna be alright. But I wish we had some dank memes too.
>>121735113
>It's inbetween the meme posting like "PRAISE LE SUN XD!
Nobody says that
Recalling old battles doesn't add any worth to the general, and isn't indicative of what is posted here often. It's only relevant to the few here who still remember those happenings.
The thing about anons saying they dislike those gens is that it's shitposting whenever it's brought up, and limits good discussion. They never say what's wrong or what could be fixed, just that they're shit because they say so. It's par for the course on videogame related boards though, so I probably shouldn't have even brought it up.
The first part of you're last quote was a generalization, and isn't subjective.
>>121735671
You seem to forget that people have brought up waifus, either ironically or not, frequently in these threads before. You're guilty of encouraging that as well Ranker.
>>121738031
>The thing about anons saying they dislike those gens is that it's shitposting whenever it's brought up,
But alot of the times they do bring up the problems. Have we ever had someone come in here and claim that ACV, for example, was a perfect game without flaw? Or would you agree that poeple will often bring up issues it had, encouraging good discussion.
This isn't like, oh say, DOTA2 general, where people get called "asshurt Lol fanboys" if they so much as talk about a negative about the game.
>>121738031
>and isn't subjective.
I take this back, meant to say it isn't untrue. Before the recent decision to include conversation about other mecha games, so that we could have unrelated conversation while still staying on topic, it was rare that anyone would bring up anything new about AC in general.
>>121663570
alright ravens, would any of you be interested in a Mega of the 3, SL,Nexus,LR,4A,Reprises, And VD OSTS with all the artbooks? i'm working on setting up a mega but what i am really looking for is a 1920 x 1080 of this image here>>121663570
ill have the mega up ASAP if theres interest
>>121739105
To be fair, that made conversation much better. Better to die with dignity than stagnate from e-celeb cancer. It made any future conversations rich and entertaining for everyone.
>>121739060
>Have we ever had someone come in here and claim that ACV, for example, was a perfect game without flaw?
Nothing I said even implied that I was talking about that.
>>121686519
Is a good example of what I was talking about. Though I take back what I said about gen 5, since ACV is usually regarded as being sub-par while VD isn't, and most people just don't mention them anyway.
>>121739891
>e-celeb cancer
That was never a threat to begin with. Also, the fact that nothing new ever came up literally makes future conversations the opposite of rich and entertaining.
>>121739910
>Nothing I said even implied that I was talking about that.
My point was that people can discuss the merits of each game, and their drawbacks. It just seems like shitposting because sometimes people can get a little defensive about their games. In which case, I direct you to a little advice (see image)
>>121686519 is probably just joking. Don't take it too seriously.
>>121740215
>That was never a threat to begin with.
Look at Dark Souls and tell me that with a straight face. What should've been a relatively innocent little game blew up into this massive attention whore wellspring, where everyone and their grandmother had to experience it, and it even had Pewdiepie and DSP advertising for it for a short while.
I blame the pc port desu senpai.
>>121740656
It was never a threat to begin with because, unlike AC, DaS is popular. That's the sad truth.
>>121740396
Yeah I realized that right after I replied, but I feel like I've been posting to much so I didn't want to overstay on that topic. My bad.
>>121739852
Going to look for that pic then, I am interested.
>>121738031
while I don't negated the waifu part (boredom can be hard sometimes) some people can't see a character without making a waifu joke/meme/discussion on the spot, specially on /a/ironically I don't have a waifu of any kind
>>121741247
>It was never a threat to begin with because, unlike AC, DaS is popular. That's the sad truth.
DeS started out obscure too, but all it takes is a little marketing and then we got MLG AC commercials and Pewdiepie let's plays. So you never know.
>>121741247
>Yeah I realized that right after I replied, but I feel like I've been posting to much so I didn't want to overstay on that topic. My bad.
I appreciate your input nonetheless. You definitely know what you're talking about, and it's nice to have a discussion once in a while without memes and shitposting.
>>121742642
Well, by the nature of AC being purely a mech action game with high min/max potential, it will never be popular enough to have anything to do with e-celebsor even just popular to begin with. I think there are only two uploaders on youtube that focuses solely on AC, and you can probably imagine how big they are.
Been watching shin chan recently. It's alright.
UPDATE
it will be a mega of AC1 OST, AC2 OST, AC3, 3SL, NEXUS special edition OST, Last Raven OST,ACFF OST, AC TRIBUTE, AC Reprisals, ACFA OST, ACVD OST. and the VD, V 4a 4 and ps2 era Artbooks. should i go ahead and drop Ace Combat 04 shattered skies OST in there too? its about halfway uploaded
>>121745381
Nah, just leave it as an Armored Core Mega. It'll be nice to have instead of that sukebi link.
Oh, is that AC Original Best or did you rip the PS1 soundtracks?
>>121740656
What I wonder is what made DS serie so popular? specially on a fanbase that loves FPS, mods and games where broken physics give way for funny moments
>>121745727
its Original Best, not OST my bad. just realized i was using a temop session so i had to restart with my actual account
>>121746221
Because of the marketing, and because DaS and DeS are legitimately great games. Mostly the marketing though, I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't a genius move to advertise it the way they did.
>>121743823
I always held the hope that project nimbus would serve as the gate away game for this kind of genre and with some digging people would find AC, but I guess I was a fool, and since e-celeb only playing the huge marketing games this is not going anywhere.
>>121746647
The weird part is that the major marketing campaing was for DaS since DeS remain more a cult game that was also a PS3 exclusive, I know the mouth-by-mouth effect, but that effect kicking in with the phrase "hardest game ever" for the casuals? I can't belive it worked.
Of course trying to capitalize on the game after seeing how it was growing is the logical reaction.
>>121751897
I mean, how many other games have been advertised based solely on their difficulty? People see it, and I know it seems kind of pathetic, but are like "wow! this game is supposed to be really hard, well let's see how hard it really is." it's worth mentioning that DaS was almost a guaranteed buy for anyone who enjoyed DeS. Also, it's important to note that that the structure of the Dark Souls trailer, with the video synced with the audio's beat and the quick flashes of stuff like "live, die, struggle, persevere" and other things, made the trailer hype as FUCK.
>>121752903
> DaS was almost a guaranteed buy for anyone who enjoyed DeS
Talking about this, I really enjoyed BB, should I try to get the DS2 port for the PS4? or since the infamy that DS2 have, should I invest the few bucks I have in other games?
>>121753702
DS2 isn't nearly as consistent as BB, I personally didn't enjoy it but there's a lot of content in it, much more than the previous two. It's your call, I'd say the positives of DS2 are how long it is, improved magic, bows, and dual wielding, and NG+ actually having new or altered content. I'd say get it if you're not holding out for anything else.
It also had some really stupid looking armor pieces, like pic related.
>>121754660
>pic
Let me guess the whole set was like being a furry.
>>121755207
At least furries put time and effort into their suits. This looks like it was stapled together with duck tape and cheap elmer's glue.
>>121755207
There is no full set, just a standalone piece. There are multiple items like that.
>>121756057
If the DLC of BB have some kind of set to work with the beast claw or something I hope that isn't the case.
while we don't have official content coming soon, is anyone here interested on the limit release project?

Who's the worst villain in the AC games?
For me it's a tossup between Genobee/Crest in Nexus, Zinaida in Last Raven, Maximillian "Joke's on you I was only pretending" Thermidor in For Answer, or Sera Cross/IBIS in Sirent Rine
>>121783202
nigga, zinaida is my fuckin waifu
i saw her more of a rival in LR than a villan. evangel was more villian materiel as he was driven mad by power. probably my most hated villan would have to be keis klein, or Ninebreaker Nine Ballonly due to the fucking fact that i had to 100% Nine breaker to fight him, that fiendish bastard
I missed out on such a lively day at /acg/. I must thank my two JP overlords for making me work on a sunday.
>>121783961
Zinaida is really the perfect rival and waifu at the same time. Especially if you played the JP version of ACLR. That cold and determinded voice and indifferent about the incoming war between the Alliance and Vertex. Her eyes are set on you and there's only one way to see who is the real Dominant and obtain the title of Last Raven.
>>121783202
If you wouldn't mind my input,
>Genobee/Crest in Nexus
I think they're the best contenders for the weakest villains. They were basically robots motivated by greed, and thanks to translation errors, we never even got that much of the story here on the west side. Something about Agraya and Navis and then everything goes dead.
>Zinaida in Last Raven
I thought Zinaida was fitting as an interesting villain. She didn't do anything out of some pessimistic spite or mustache twirling evil. She just wanted to be the best, which meant killing every other raven so she would be the last raven. To be fair, you did the exact same thing in the game, so who can blame her?
>Maximillian "Joke's on you I was only pretending" Thermidor in For Answer
He was interesting as well, don't you think? He was staging a large plan to save humanity (I think) and it involved using the cradles' power source to fire lasers and destroy satellites that were preventing us from going to the moon. I don't really know much more of his plan, since FAs story bordered on weird at every given moment.
>Sera Cross/IBIS in Sirent Rine
Female Nineball with sexy high heel shoes on its legs. So in other words.
>My own clone! Now neither of us will be virgins!

>>121787845
I'll never forget the final encounter with Zinaida. It lasted around 30 seconds but it was one of the best moments of any game for me. The skill, concentration and dexterity during those 30 seconds, I felt more alive than ever. Its not quite like having dominato sex with Zinaida but its probably the closest thing.>I have the sound files of JP Zinaida on my phone and I listen to that voice and it brings me peace.

Fallout brought back their robot too for the last cutscene. It's also surprisingly stupid. These damn companies keep making robots as nothing more than accessories. Pisses me off brah.
Consoles cannot into robot games, or even robots in their games. Only Armored Core and a few others could do it decently.
>>121852485
Frankly Armored Core is responsible for a whole generation of fuckmonkeys thinking mecha games are about slapping together a bunch of parts, and not mecha action.
>>121852696
While I love the customization part, I know that you don't need for a mecha action game, but man these last years have few games and they also suck, better stay with what works.
>>121852485
>>121852696
Hmmm, delicious b8
>>121852696
1. A good mech game could incorporate both of those things, and mechs needed more customization. Look at the latest trash like Xenoblade X and Fallout. Mechs have become nothing more than accessories and glorified power suits. You can't even change their parts.
2. Don't call me Frankly.
>>121864230
>glorified power suits
In my opinion this is inevitable in games out of japan since america loves power suits rather than huge mechas, is also more close to the part of super soldiers and what is better than a super suit? a bigger super suit!
>>121864752
That's such a pity, because a power suit could work, but everyone just makes it a soldier that's slightly bigger. It SHOULD be a walking weaponized platform that stops being a threat only when you blow off all of its limbs and blast its core to pieces.
But I wouldn't expect bloated triple A gaming companies to understand this. Yeah, just keep casualizing the gameplay. Throw in some violence, some tits, some swearing white gruff males, some pretentious anime teens with snarky one liners. Don't worry about the cool robots. We gotta fight the patriarchy with love and friendship and affirmative action.

Having played mechwarrior games, it sounds better on paper than in practice.
I thought titanfall did a good job of making the giant man feel different than the small man by swapping out jumping for dashing. Its a shame it didnt have a campaign though. Needed more variety too.
>>121897430
Yeah, the problem in Mechwarrior games, at least in the old ones, is that you start going only for the legs, which is the most realistic thing to do, but not fun

Not sure if anyone is interested, but one of my anticipated games is finally releasing. I know some of you guys don't like steam, so I think if you check their website, you can buy it directly from them.
Hope this doesn't come across as advertising. I'm just hyped for the first time in ages. Between this and Xenoblade, hopefully mechs are coming back.

Yeah, looks good. I'm up for another mech sidescroller. At first it looked a bit too much like Gigantic Army for it's own good (I know it's from the same devs, and asset reuse is a thing), but the stages and gameplay from the video looks neato.

I have this guilty pleasure of a mech sidescroller game. JP name デデンデン! but its got everything Penny hates. Its got milk cow waifus and loli's but the gameplay is soild.
>Here's a pv take a look; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTY9tgIYu2k
>>121941146
About 6 dollars if I remember right.
>>121942871
I think the game looks pretty cool. The cow tits are kind of ugg-o's, but I like the way the combat plays out.
>>121942871
>milk cow waifu
>milk cow
>>121943739
Yeah I had a lot of fun with that game, it kinda reminds me of ACV. With its setting and arms customization and some of the bosses makes me think of NEXTs. Its weird but a fun game and bonus points if you read the ero stuff.
>>121944017
Aw come on Ranker, there's nothing wrong with a hentai mech sidescroller game featuring cow tits.
>here's some DFC for you
>>121945513
I have no problem with tits as big as the pic here >>121942871 but the other ones that show up at the end of the video, well pic related.
>Hentai
Is a joke or the game really have H moments?
>>121942871
>>121945513
Wait, so it's just a slower paced Gunhound?
>>121949335
No joke, Denden is a hentai mecha sidescroller. I'll say go try it out but its up to you really.
>>121951909
is there any changes of having a english patch?
>>121951837
>Gunhound
I never played Gunhound but according to the vids I saw the games seems to be very similar to each other.

But jokes aside its not a really complex game and the story is rather simple, save your waifu save the world etc.
>>121951837
Hey, Armored Core is just a slower paced Gundam. You don't see me complaining.
>>121953716
>save your waifu save the world
What I am expecting from a H game really, might look for it just fro the gameplay.
>>121954134
and darker and edgier
>>121954134
I think Vass would say AC would be closer to Votoms than gundamu ever were. I agree to that as well and Abnormal Survivors>Newtypes.
>>121954136
Yeah Ranker, its worth at least checking it out and there's lots of weapon combos to choose from. Also get used to dem cow tits, its not even the bigger ones from that studio.
>>121956863
>asking to like cow tits
Sorry Sabbath I have standards that I won't break for you.
>>121957539
I will say a lot of animu is trash but my favorite will always be the LOGH ova's. Besides there are boards on 4chan dedicated to shitty moe animu and I bet its way easier to bait them.
>>121957713
Fair enough Ranker and I often wish that studio would go easy on the cow tits too.
>would like more DFC but nooope.
>>121958374
From all the animes that comes each season around 3-4 are usually decen't or good enough, sometimes 1-2 are good and from time to time, whole years can pass even, a gem appear,
>>121959290
That's another reason why I haven't really watch any animu for the past three or four years. There were too much garbage and I just lost interest in watching any at all.
>>121960639
it happens don't feel bad about it
But I am really enjoying iron-blood orphans and one-punch man right now

Yes it is, though I find myself using Swaxes and guns more in 4.
Maybe I should start firing that up more often.

Better come with a PDF of the instructions, because you don't want to try and play it blind. I've made that mistake.
>>121964251
no tutorial?
Damn it, it's going to be Last Raven all over again.
>>121964494
It's, like, $5. Maybe $10 if the seller traces his lineage back to Jerusalem. Just buy a copy.
The basic gameplay is easy enough to figure out, there's just a lot of information you'll really want to have.
Blog update: presentation done, thesis submitted, still got to cram all the knowledge in the universe into my weak, tired body for viva next week. Are you proud of me yet, Ahab-sama?
Who keen for VD scrimms in a couple weeks or so tho?
Might even be able to squeeze in a cheeky scrimms vid for the lads.
>>121969530
How soon is a couple of weeks.
night /acg/
With luck I will be able to report my progress on ring of red this week, lord Ahab.
>>121958374
>I will say a lot of animu is trash but my favorite will always be the LOGH ova's. Besides there are boards on 4chan dedicated to shitty moe animu and I bet its way easier to bait them.
But is that necessary ingame? I don't see why we even need people in video games. We were better off with robots and power suits, which took almost no time to model, didn't need super realism or billions of polygons, and through their simplicity were better off because they looked cool.
This is something I often harp on. It takes 1,000,000 polygons just to render a human on modern computers. It takes only a couple thousand at most to model a robot. Even the more fancy technical ones. This is because they can work better with basic shapes and outlines, and they don't need to spend billions on realistic hair follicles.
That's just my 2 pennies on the topic anyway. And they're both scrubs.

Muh dick. Where can I get this??
>>121962837
Sorry, only played Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow because I was homo for Soma. Never got HoD because it looked like it lacked SOUL, it was only a mashup with tacked on MP.
Also already met Dora and already said goodbye. Smug bastard. Now I'm on mission 17 and just when I was a about to finish it Ryoko got killed, ARRGGHHH

Yeah have fun doing that all over again. No joke, it took me about six hours to beat that and I was so hyped when I got there that I stayed up all night to beat it.
Oh. Well, HoD is pretty lame.CotM > AoS

Boy, I know. What are you gonna do about it?
Oh, that's right. Blow it.
>>122015245
Yes that's a thing. I have to force myself to stop playing because timeliterally and unironically[ /spoiler] flies. I've stopped playing everything else. Strong contender for personal GOTY.
Haven't played CoTM, so I can't comment on that
>>122015889
Oh man, It's been a while since I spoiled a spoiler
>>122014965
already did that, in fact thats what I'm taking apart to build this>>122015245
>>122014864
I just realized I sold my last set of ultimate weapons and I dont feel like doing that mission right now
does core energy conductivity have a heavy effect on booster movement or should I focus on defenses instead
>>122021341
EN Conductivity does play a large role in boosting. Basically, the higher the number, the faster your boosters accelerate. Means less time to get up to top speed while normal boosting, or glide boosting. Also means a shorter high boost animation, which will also cover less ground, as well as faster kicks. Having a high EN Conductivity isn't always better, though, so mess around, and see what works best.
Okay so I finally maxed out all the UNAC stats, what kind of unac should I make? currently he's a missle arm quad, the "launcher spider"
>>122025237
What kinda missile arms? The auto-locking CE ones? because I already have dibs on those on my pizza delivery AC.
>>122021760
I've never noticed a significant change, or maybe I wasn't looking. How do you know you are at top speed?
>>122035512
naw the other ones, we need to create a full missle arm squad and force everyone online to actually use the CIWS
>>122035809
Normal boosting, it's not that noticeable, unless you're using high power boosters. But you'll notice that you move slower, and slide around a lot more when turning sharply, than when you've been moving in a straight line for a bit.
But when glide boosting, you can't add in high boosts until you're at top speed.
page 10
survive.
This is my first attempt atmaking a very high mobility AC in VD, I have the Gen and boosters that allow for infinite boosting in scan mode, any tips?
>>122057931
What weapons are you using?
(In my opinion at least) An AC should be built around the weapons, not the other way around.
>>122059403
2 shields and 2 sniper rifles with extra ammo shoulder, I wish there was a CE equivalent and I cant spare the energy for laser rifles.
>>122059771
What leg type?
I'm assuming since you have 2 sniper rifles you're going with LRJ.
>>122060037
hmmm I just realized that I've been using Bipedal L this whole time, but I really dig how this looks, should I change weapons or can this work too?
>>122060517
LBP can work too, I use them along with sniper rifles as well. In fact, my primary AC is a high mobility LBP sniper + physical blades. The downside to this is that LRJ's can do everything an LBP can do but better. (Higher jump strength, similar/faster speeds, better stability etc.)
You're like me in that the look factor is the deciding reason that you choose to use LBP over LRJ, and that's perfectly fine. Just giving you a heads up that it's going to be much harder.
Anyways, there's 2 things you can do with the sniper rifles, but since you're not using LRJs, I would suggest using the Glance (200 lock speed quick-lock FCS) with 2 subcomputers to take quick shots at enemies while jumping between cover. As a sniping AC you don't want to be caught out in the open or dueling someone head on, cover combined with mobility is going to be your best friend, and you need that quick locking FCS to get your shot in quick and get behind something to break the enemy's lock.
If you are caught in the open, your shields will give you a little bit of a buffer, but don't rely on them too much.
There's also blue locking (firing your snipers before the your FCS fully locks on with the red box) but it's pretty difficult to pull off properly.
>>122059403
Glad I am not the only that follow this train of thought.
>>122060517
>>122061507
Adding onto that,
Stagger your sniper shots, fire the left one first and a split second later fire the right one, this way you can ensure that you can inflict an armor break on an enemy (since snipers have a large impact force, they can usually inflict the armor break status on an enemy) with the first shot so that the second shot will do increased damage. It's also a way to increase the chances of at least one shot landing on the enemy if they use evasive maneuvers. Try your best not to fire both guns at the same time.
Thanks for the help guys, lets make this dream come true
>>122061890
No problem, always glad to help out an aspiring LBP sniper.
some guy just hired me to help him with the first mission
interesting
>>122065131
and it actually was his first time too, rusty AC and all
>>122015889
Well, here's what worked for me.
You have plenty of time, so advance at a very slow pace. Just hunker down and kill everything that goes aggro before moving on. There will be times where you'll just spend several turns in a row recovering everyone and that's just fine. Take your time. Just, not too much time because you're technically on a time limit even if I've never felt any kind of pressure from it.
Maximum style points if you break the boss's weapon and legs, wire him, kill his soldiers, bring him down to double digits, and then have Weizegger come in to finish him with the 100% shot.
>>122036165
CIWS is actually somewhat common these days. People finally caught on. Don't know what took 'em so long, it was a key part of our survival in the early days.
>>122059771
>ammo
Might want to consider subcomputers to deal with the lock times.

How active is VD nowadays on INT? Or even on JP, I'm pretty curious. Think I'm getting the AC itch and might hop on for a bit tomorrow.
>>122015245
That's a lot of trash talk for an old dude. It's not my thing to bully the defenseless so I'll let you off the hook, gramps.
>>122062094
Midweight snipers are where it's at. HBP snipers are cool too.

Don't you have to blow it somewhere right now.
>>122079980
>midweight snipers
do you love eating streks?
>>122072549
Yeah did that this time. Finished it. I'm normally not a New Game+ enthusiast but I was kind of disappointed with the lack of one for this. Guess there wasn't much to expand on and it avoided bullshit hard fights (which was a lingering fear of mine). Oh well, nice game. Highly recommended.
Now I'll finally move to MoA.
