Opinions?

Maybe some creepypastas.

Not my cup of tea, I don't like medieval mecha. I'm interested in Mechwarrior Living Legends and Dota 2 at the moment. Also, thread might die quickly because a huge update came out for Dota 2.

it has been a while since I played a MOBA

any tips for AC1, PP, MOTA?

i'm probably half way through AC1 and should finish it this weekend.

You might've already figured this out, but blading is super janky if you do it in the air. It actually tries to move towards your opponent, so it can help you land hits.
There are some massive levels and you will want to have a head with automapping. Press select to pull up the map.
From what I remember, if you miss hidden parts in the original, they don't show up in the shop for the expansions, so go back and make sure you're not missing them.
If you feel like using the Karasawa is cheating, and it is, Project Phantasma introduces the PPK, which is like a sawa with half the power and twice the shots, so it's a bit less cheaty.
Do the arena in Project Phantasma, it's a good source of money.
Generator and booster are the most important parts in the original, especially as you get closer to the end. You also have to be smart with your energy, so get to work on efficient flying by only activating your boosters for as long as you need to in order to keep your altitude, mostly. You will be platforming in the last mission.
Speaking of the last mission, you're going to want something with some range because you will be under fire from every direction while platforming. Consider missiles, you really don't want your FCS getting raped by sniper rifles.

Damn the new IT movie is so good.

Armored Core crossover

>crossover

is just a subtitlle? or is a actually crossover with something?

An actual crossover.

with what? let me guess, something with cute girls doing cute things?

Don't just leave us hanging man.

Well, you got the first part right.

I'm crossing over with Infinite Stratos.
Why? I have no idea.

I told myself I will never do this again but, I am soo starved for anything AC related that I am willing to read fanfics, just share a link or something when you are done.

Well, there's a story called "Armored Hearts" that I'm reading and it's easily the best crossover with IS.

I will share a link after I finished deciding on what generation of AC's I decide on. Too much going back and forth.

giving the general aesthetics and feel of IS, I would say 4 era, but 3 era has some potential too.

Yeah, I've been banging my head over the 3rd-Generation's designs to choose from for a while now. 4th Gen makes the most sense, but I have no idea how to the Kojima particles since they're radioactive and will kill everyone.

*how to handle

>but I have no idea how to the Kojima particles since they're radioactive and will kill everyone.

lazy solution, some new tech, or IS tech has the abilitie to clean KP; or limit their use, but when they are used everthing goes to shit, if we are going for a more serious plot

Yeah, that's what I figured it would come down to. Now I have to choose a design.

>all JP mecha discussion here
Is there where I ask what the best Gundam games are? I want good single player experiences. Only played Journey to Jaburo and Zeonic Front on PS2 thus far but loved those.

Damn, lightweight snipers are fun.
On the other hand, autocannon tanks are as braindead as it can get.

I haven't played any of them, but I hear the recent Versus games are pretty great.
There's also the F2P online grindfest game if that's your kind of thing.
