This is Tank. (you guys like tanks, right?)
He's here from the other /acg/ to give a courtesy bump.

Thanks, I like Animal Crossing.

>You constantly see skins, and other aesthetics options on other games that refer differents games
>tfw you know you will never see a AC based skin on anything

Life is suffering.

what else is everyone playing/up to
i just picked up starcraft remaster for the single player nostalgia
and i'm hungry but don't know what to eat
i also think armored core is great

As of yesterday, Armored Core general is no longer the most dead general. That honor now goes to Half Life. Press F to pay respects.

We lost the only thing giving ous fame on Veeky Forums.

Why do you cling to life so /acg/? Can't you hear the sweet siren call of death? It beckons you. Why fight it?

...

Because I have a dream goddamnit
That armored core would be revered as not a dead ip but a revered one
That there is a possibility of people seeing an AC or a NEXT and know where it's from
Instead of saying something stupid like fucking transformers
That people accept my lord and savior nineball as their lord and saviour

And that less people will think of /acg/ as a dead thread

But a living one

Godspeed

Thanks my nig

Am I the only one who feels that nineball-sama had good intentions?

yes.

He was a rogue A.I that was preventing humanity's growth.

As badass as he is was he most definitely was not good

>preventing humanity's growth.
>humanity's growth.
>trying to keep humanity on a level good enough that would allow having a nice life with a decent level of technology, rather than risking another great destruction

He was our savior.

Indeed

If this happens, imagine the memes, waifufaggotry, ""funny"" streamers of the game, the haters and hipster, all the clones that will try to ride on the success of AC and the shitposters flowing any AC centric thread or place of the internet

on the good side, we may get some nice fanarts and fan remixes.

True
But im not wanting it too be dark souls COD or battlefield popular
just well known
And besides
No fandom or community I've ever seen got away from bad eggs
Even small ones

Well
Maybe except for ours and the SUPER DUPER obscure and humble ones
But in pretty sure you get what in saying

We should just move on with our lives

I want to believe goddammit
I want to believe that we'll get an answer
And no one will stop me

On the one hand I want to ask about design contest.
On the other, I'm not sure we should try until we've shown we can keep it up long enough to support that.
>good remixes
All worth it in the end. Nowhere near enough AC remixes.
Better believe we love tanks even if we only ever had, like, three people who could actually use fifth gen tanks.

To everyone who's in Texas, my prayers are with you. Stay strong, and equip a hover leg AC just incase.

What's up with Texas?

Very slow moving hurricane, it's pretty horrible along the coast. Big swaths of the state are getting a lot of rain and storms, but it's really just the Gulf coast that's getting pounded. Houston, Galvestone, South Padre Island, Corpus Christi, and a bunch of tiny towns that only matter to the people who live in them.

Ah
Crazy shit my nig

How do I get into Armored Core 2? I loved the PS1 trilogy and AC4/FA but I could not for the life of me get into AC2, haven't even touched AC3 yet as it looks pretty much the same.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm using energy weapons with a backup gatling gun and it takes me at most 2 tries to beat a mission but always by the skin of my teeth - it just feels so clunky and difficult compared to the PS1 and I don't know why.

Any group or artist on mind for those remixes?

Use high damage weapons like bazookas and moonlight and it should go by easier.

Also, learn how to boost hop to move around quickly.

...

Alright, I'll boot it up again and give it another shot. Hopefully I don't lose to many creds to bazooka rockets.

Also, I feel like the variety in mechs isn't as apparent as in the PSX games. Am I just not trying hard enough?

...

Once you get to AC2 Another Age is when you'll see tons of content and parts to choose from.

OH THANK GOD WE'RE BACK

For now.

Don't use the default controls.
Learn what every stat does.

AC4/FA is very hand-holding and are the easiest games in the franchise. They give you way more energy and speed than you need, whereas every other franchise has you manage those resources carefully in every mission. AC4/FA holds your hand by making it so you don't really have to change your build between missions or manage your cash, and default controls are fine.

Just expect everything to be super hard and confusing until you sit down and spend time in menus preparing for it. You should have to customize between EVERY mission and spend more time in the garage than in battle.

>Also, I feel like the variety in mechs isn't as apparent as in the PSX games. Am I just not trying hard enough?
I'd say they have more variety, but they take longer to unlock.

...

What piece of OST is the most important for you guys? battle music? garage? final boss or credits?

Funfact, hover AC legs can sink in water if you go idle for long enough. I found that out while playing AC2AA.

>AC4/FA is very hand-holding and are the easiest games in the franchise.
>AC1 exists

Garage music.

It's what I'll be spending most of my time listening to, anyway.

Runner up is for cutscene music.

AC1 's clunky platforming is alone harder than anything in AC4/FA. Occupation of Arteria Carpals included.

Also try AC1 without the karasawa

I never used the Karasawa in AC1 though, and the only remotely hard part was the infinite labyrinth of floating boxes before running into nineball.

1. Garage, I am spending a lot of time there so it has to be good
2. Intro, kinda sets the tone of the game for me

Final boss for me because it's what becomes the most memorable part of a game for me like the AC3 final fight when Administrator starts playing. I cream my pants every time.

>Intro, kinda sets the tone of the game for me

I know this feeling, double for me and LR intro, man the nostalgia and pain, what curious yet comfy mix of feeling.

...

...

bumpp.

...

Holy shit this is alive again?

We are eternal.

So, which teams are left? I was introduced to this series by a Squad member but even the pastebin says they're dead.

...

None, really.
Even Vagrant Guns is on life support.

>Even Vagrant Guns is on life support

and failing.

...

Is it worth downloading/playing EXVSFB for offline singleplayer even if I don't care much about Gandamu?
