I actually thought the fights were pretty cool.

Bump.

Bump.

Triple bump.

should i even bother trying to emulate the ps3 titles?

It's time to wake up.

at least this general exists. one of the very few generals i used to visit alot seems to be completly dead now and im sad

...

Refresh my memory, can you play the ORCA path when starting a new file in 4A or do you have to play through the League path first? I followed the mission tree almost to a tee, but I still got the League path.

RIP, /tfg/.

...

...

...

...

Bump.

AC4, ACfA, V and VD are still barely playable with RPCS3. Just wait for now.

You have to complete the League path first.

In a completely unrelated note:
In ACVD I built an AC of which I like both the looks and the feeling of controling it, yet it's defenses fucking suck and that is killing me.

Oh well, it'll be fun anyway. Thanks for the refresher.

...

...

What kind of suck?

...

Over 2k KE resistance with 1096 TE and less than 600 CE

I mean, that's perfectly valid. I don't know if it's a mid or a light, but those will always have a crippling weakness to either TE or CE. Pack a CE shield is about the best I can tell you.

Mid.
Thanks for the advice.

Oh, and one more thing.
CIWS might be a good idea. It'll cut into your offensive potential HARD, but if you run into anyone packing small missiles, those things will eat you alive.
Not that there's much of anyone to run into anymore.

...

...

What up, I'm back.

...

...

Bump.

>unlock Swallowtail
>is not really that good

Why tho

It has the best hacking speed while keeping a nice hacking range.
Once upon a time, you could really trigger some people with that.

Last one from me, goodnight.

...

>that webm

COME ON AMERICA. I've seen better bouts on Battlebots.

fuck off

...

How so?

...

...

How do you guys deal with droughts of these magnitudes? Do you go back and try and improver your old ACs?

...

By any change has anyone come into a contact with Verdict Day "backup" for ps3?

...

Bump.

Years of playing Magic has taught me this:
People HATE losing to alternate win conditions. The reasons vary anywhere from
>wow that's so cheap
to
>DISHONORABRU
and we had a lot of that second one in AC. Winning by timeout or hacking was seen as winning without actually fighting which is cowardly or something. All this despite the fact that winning by timeout or hacking is usually much harder than just killing the other team.
Playing the PS2 ACs for my nephews. Just a few more years and they'll be ready to try.
