Repost from the old thread. LR:P movement test for the modified game
Jack Carter
I am loving this. I need to see how well PPSSPP runs on the desktop.
Colton Green
Neat, it already looks more fun to play with the modified acceleration.
Isaiah Garcia
Who was the best corporation and why was it Mirage?

Hey, will there be a SNFA tonight?

Caleb Ortiz
Anybody seeing gundam this season?
Robert Torres
F
Ryan Edwards
IBO? Yeah. I thought the first season was average, not very exceptional but certainly not as bad as people on certain other boards would have you think.
However, the whole escort mission thing pissed me off when a lot of people initially had thought that it would be Gundam: PMC Management edition, but I guess that's what this season is for now.
Maybe it can be better with this one. It's a second sunrise season so chances are low based on their track record but who the fuck knows.
Jace Barnes
Will do multiple playthroughs once the editing is finished.
Dominic White
Also, i'm getting on FA right now.
Luke Wood
Someone throw me some pre 4th gen design ideas to make in FA. Also, choose designs that are lesser known because i've made all the popular ones.
Anthony White

Adam Martinez
I just hope this season have more battles, shirtless scenes and less peace princess drama and more PMC Management. If these kids really go full merc, is going to be good.
Angel Peterson
How many attempts did it take you guys to beat hardcore in VD?
Kayden Hall
That varies dramatically depending on which type you pick. Some of them are a lot easier than others.
That guy is easy. Since they generally kill in 2-3 hits in normal mode anyway, just adopt the "don't get hit" strategy.
Ryan Reed
Wait, is the beyblade thing the sonic the hedgehog Cyclops that spindashes at you or is it the Grey Lotus?
Camden Flores
The thing that was fucking me up with the beyblade was the little laser drones. They immediatly kill you if you are playing Gambler. I found easy quick way to kill it now so its not a problem anymore. Grey Lotus
Parker Gomez
>sonic the hedgehog Cyclops that spindashe
That shit still gives me nightmares, the mission were you have to fight 2 of them was hell.
William Carter
Really, that's the one you found hard? I had no trouble with that, but the one in the snow where you get jumped by some UWs was fucking terrible on my first run.
Nolan White
the cyclops have a huge homing abilitie, they can hit you if you try to avoid them by going on the corner of a building, huge damage, staggering and it was 2 of them, it was hard for me
>snow
What mission was that? I dont remember.
Brody Kelly
The one where you fight two 1000(?) AP dinosaur robots, one is perched on a cliff with a laser cannon and the other pursues you with missiles. Kinda looked like pic related.
Angel Scott
I remember now, yeah it was hard, but I didnt find them as annoying as the cyclops, I think I even die more on that, but cyclops really drive me crazy.
Jordan Jenkins
The fight against two is a nightmare until I figured that the first spawns by buildings that will block its own attacks, and the second only uses a laser cannon. Just pack a TE shield and rifle/VTF missiles, then dual heat machine guns and you can S-rank the mission easily.
Alexander Adams
Man SNFA sure was dead as fuck.
John Howard
I cant join anymore but it is sad hearing that.

How will this affect the singleplayer? It won't turn the AI into complete rubbish, will it?
Aaron Gonzalez
Boom. Finished hardcore mode and got the platinum along with it. VD was the first AC game I actually put time into. Thinking about playing either 4 next or the emulate the first game.
Gabriel Baker
4 will keep your time with its hardmode.

So far it doesn't seem to dramatically affect the AI. I think that's because LR's AI acts based on energy, range, and heat levels, rather than the weapon loadout. It's very simplistic, too, it seems that all LR AC AI just follows you around and tries to maintain a specific range and a specific height, always facing your direction. They only seem to vary in how well they manage to do that.
Also, since so few of the AI use high powered boosters (most use vulture2), all it will do for others is slow them down a bit.
I'm more worried that after balancing the parts, some of the AI will be overweight, but that might not matter either since some (like the Genobee clone) already are.
Xavier Lopez
That being said, the main point of this is multiplayer. On whole though it would probably make the game have an easier single player against non-plus opponents, and equal against plus opponents. This is because it's a lot easier to do long-term strategies like overheating, sniping, or running the opponent out of energy, but H+ enemies have absurd energy recovery and cooling already so that won't make much of a difference.

Sniper weapon arms smash big targets, user. Knock the bastard 2 or 3 times while he makes his entrance and he'll go down.

Lel, no. Look at the Shoulder and core elements at the sides. Unless those are air intakes and it's powered by a jet engine, that's an aerodynamic nightmare.
So I guess it would be a good thing if the AI cheated.

>we'll never have a cool AC/Souls crossover where you fight ACs Dragon Slayer and Executioner, and fight a black guy with a close range flamethrower AC who's pissed off at his transexual son who paints his AC pink and masquerades as a grill
Imagine yourself hearing this while reading a bunch of short stories that are nothing more than sad, tragic, ironic and sometimes just plain cruel

Soul Sacrifice is pure suffering. It's almost Drakengard tier. (specially vanilla SS)
Ian Torres
Usually, something as depressing like soul sacrifice wouldnt affect me that much, because you know that everthing is shit, so you stop caring. But the stories on the lore for each area or monster, specially the tragic ones, are simple, short, and a huge punch on the feels.
My favorite is about the desert area, and is because the closest one to a bittersweet ending. Also I love Carnatux ending phrase

VD? Don't try, many have tried to create a fun AC, and they all failed innumerable times.
Carter Stewart
There are so many head parts that look cool in fanart but dumb in-game.
Aiden Morales
You can create a fun AC in VD, but you'll always have a handicap against other players.
Elijah Jones
Does anyone know the music that plays during the final battle of AC2? I can't seem to find it.
Jason Butler
Anyone else worried about Veeky Forums shutting down? I hear about corporate buyouts, and I worry where we'll meet if this place goes kaput.
Private IRC channels, Infinity or 7 if they survive. It's been a long time coming. I doubt the site will shut down entirely, it will just become a shell of what it was.
Andrew Morales
Discord, Reddit. Most of the western fanbase is there already
Andrew Long
Leave now please
Juan Ramirez
you may hate the place but facts are facts
Landon Cox
I doubt Veeky Forums shutting down, but is possibly it will become a controlled place, with SJW at the head. We could end going to reddit or tumblr (God forbid) but if people actually cant tolerate those sites, someone will create a new Veeky Forums. If all the anons manage to emigrate there, is going to be another story.
Josiah Powell

Cooper Green
Probably nothing to worry about yet. Notch is insistent that he and Shkreli are joking. Being able to flaunt Captcha pass status is annoying, but that's mostly because the common users are so dead set on looking for any sort of minute difference that can be used to exclude others. You're just straight up delusional, though. I can't even remember half of the -chans I've seen come and go in ten years but I can clearly remember that they all follow that same mantra. And they all fail. Don't expect any kind of mass migration. It's not going to happen despite whatever new siteop insists.
>that one side blurb of text that mentions that the Cabracan fight takes place in "the former colony of Sing." >former colony >despite how hype the Sol Dios mission was, Anatolia and Josh ultimately failed to protect all those smiles This is one of those subtle things in FA that really hits me in the feels the most.
