How often does this game die? Jesus christ.

Last one here

I wanna play through the ACs again, how do the PS1 and PS2 era ones emulate? I sold my PS2 ages ago. What about the PSP re-releases?

Not sure about Armored Core, but I think we have some experienced emulators over at Ace Combat General.

Eh, I was asking more about if the Armored Core games have any problems being emulated, like the, coincidentally, Ace Combat series. I've got a hankering to replay 2/SL and give the 3->LR line a go.

>tfw don't own a console with 4/LA/VD

I could never emulate 3rd gen very well.

Bump.

As far as I can tell, the PS1 games emulate just fine.
I think Nexus works okay, but I don't know about any of the other PS2 games.
Last Raven emulates well, there are people playing against each other on it through PPSSPP.

bump.

Thank god for the shitposting/bumping. The thread just fucking dies in my time zone and when I did post 3DPG, it never bumped (dunno why, probably because tits).

Ranker, the /acg ranking was in an old thread. Probably find it on one of the archives. You'll know it's me if the attached image is called image.jpg and the metadata of said image.

Bump brought to you by GA America.

More often than a new player attempting Occupation of Arteria Carpals.

Yup. Gotta agree with that sentiment

So what AC game is most similar to something like Ace Combat, where you fight squadrons (for lack of a better word) of elite enemies instead of supermechs as boss battles?

Probably the V era games? You rarely get any allies helping you (unless you count UNACs in VD), but you do fight multiple enemy ACs pretty often. There's also the fact that the V era games have some of the most dangerous grunt enemies in modern AC games, so even when you're fighting mooks you have to be kind of careful. Of course, there's still the super powered boss battles all over the place so it doesn't really count. I don't know much about Ace Combat but I don't think the two series can compare that well.

LR mainly is 1vs1 fights, after that followed by another 1vs1 sometimes.

I wil say VD since there is a lot of AC fights and most of them are 1vs2.

FA is close to the squadron fight in all endings.

The multiplayer component of V and Verdict Day, though V's servers are down.

AC 4A, 5 and VD.

You'll enjoy the missions in those games. ACFA has the best laid out story and the servers are still up, V has 1v2 galore and can port your save into VD. VD has literally loads of missions, again lots of 1v2 and servers still up.

...

Anyone ever try doing a full playthrough using only one company's parts? I was thinking of trying a GA run in For Answer to see if I can beat it without going fast. Anyone ever try something like this?

I once did a Stinger run of Nexus. All the frame parts and weapons are Mirage, so I chose a Mirage generator and radiator then went to town.
It was pretty awful. No AMS, the Dragon is garbage, the blade hits decently hard but has a long reload time, and you have no AP. I had to switch the Dragon for a plasma rifle in order to have the damage necessary to finish the game.

Watched some footage of AC Nexus, is it just me or did they beef up the sound effects and pretty much everything as the games released?

Also, saw the carnage known as the Finger. Rinsed through ammo but was brutal to the enemy AC.

That's an awesome pic. Marv, ANNR and the shoulder mounted PS3.

There's another version without the PA

...

>Nexus Finger

Let me introduce you to the AC1 era Finger... 2500 ammo, and without the wide spread shot. It was just focused destruction.

Bump.

Got bored and made some edits.

Today has not been my day.

>constant thunder destroying my online and power connections
>rain causing a leak in my roof

Joy.

That sucks. Roof leaks are literally worse than Hitler.

What's your favorite AC? Any game.

Anything we could do to cheer you up?

White Glint mkII

>White Glint mkII
As in the version in For Answer?

Done. These are pretty basic edits, but it gives me something to do.

I wish there was good art of the AC4 version. Normies don't even seem to be aware that it exists.

Bump.

pls stop being ded

there has being a drop on the regulars, I havent see Sabbath and Vass in a while.

Pray to from.

ACVR plz

>implying it's not going to be Armored Core: Sixth Sense

Just keep being cool guys. Seeing this general filled with awesome fellas always raises my spirits.

Aesthetic-wise and purpose-wise, one of the cover ACs from Armored Core 2. Not the blue guy with the sawa, but the guy he fights against. He's got such a boxy robot look. I love a little bulk on my robots, and I'm not too fond of the sleek and sharp fellas.

Bump.

Bump.

I'm going to do a playthrough of AC3, Silent Line, and Last Raven. Any suggestions for PSP emulators?

Bump.

PPSSPP is good, from what I recall.

Bump.

Bump.

Bump.

Bump.

Did they die?

Remind me, what time does SFNA starts and what time zone, again?

sundays at 7, EST I think

...

This is it, namefags leaving, no games being played, no hope for a new game, /acg/ is finally dying.

No user. /acg/ doesn't have my permission to die. Even if we have to remake a dead thread every 2 days, we won't be pushed off of this board by Smash Brothers and League of Legends.

Bump.

Will Veeky Forums even notice when we are gone?

Vass sometimes disappears for days at a time.
Risto was on PSN as soon as two days ago.
Stop being a worrywart.
A few will, but not many. I imagine Animal Crossing General will figure it out first.

>Animal Crossing General will figure it out first

When was the last time someone from there came here to complain about the shared acronym?

slammed throu for aswer with starter rayleonard... since you need to reach rank 1 in the arena pretty soon in the story, since people die of from it, swap blade out and go dual hitman and reks everything with ease,

never ever gonna die yo

the final mission on that storyline is fucking bullshit... every other mission i S ranked but that on hard, no chance, abused every bs part to S-rank it on normal, kojima arms + shoulder charged to max and 1 shotting them 1 by 1

As far as I remember, never. We've had someone local who tried to start that a few times.
Now, as for the last time someone from the other /acg/ swung by and let us know, it's been a few months. I believe he had some words of encouragement and a bump for us.

>We've had someone local

Oh so it was a local. I though it was someone from there.

Thanks, awesome art is awesome.

>Sadhana

I wish they could expand on this, even if just with a line about it, what was his relation ship with the former rank 2, friends? Co-founders of Liliana? old comrades in arms?

>dual wield AC1 era finger
>Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds

Only appropiated response.

...

bump

>Sadhana is an Original who first fought in the National Dismantlement War. It is here where he developed his skills as a Lynx pilot. It is also at this time that he most likely befriended Oldking, the leader of Liliana an armed rebel group.

All I could find Xez

I didn't ask the question though.
