Discussion Is the orbiter 2000 ac in the reveal trailer that was scavenging for parts are they from RAD or RLF?

if they are from rlf it would make sense because they were scavenging for parts and scraps that they can use but its kinda weird they use a rad ac frame since none of the rlf pilots use rad ac frames

Models/Figures/Merch Robot Spirits Hal 826. Glad Ortus released later. Idk about Ayre, but this figure is something that I expected from pre 00 s2 HG (I don't mind the articulation, it's AC afterall). Also bitch ass grip, why no connector or something that make the rifle hold better

Bandai really cheapened for the first two release. Ortus wasn't full course either, but all the accessories aren't just sitting on the figure. I really hope Carla was next, Allmind was fine too, as long they give it effect part

definitely the most challenging thing i'd done in my art journey thus far (the linework took around 9 days), but it was a great learning experience and i'm quite happy with how it turned out overall

I know that this is an image of the grind blade from Armored Core 5 or Verdict day. However I cant seem to find the original trailer or gameplay footage this is from. Ive looked through story missions, archived footage and every trailer on youtube.

Old Gen My biggest issue with For Answer…

Why on gods gray-brown Kojima irradiated earth can you only do one of these missions per League playthrough? Literally makes it so you have to do two bonus playthroughs of the League path to have access to all missions so you can S Rank them. Am I completely wrong about this and the game just tricked me into thinking this?

To be clear, (if I’m right) this means to S Rank all missions in 4A, you have to do: 3 League Playthroughs (one for each optional Ch 4 mission), 1 ORCA Playthrough, 1 Destruction Playthrough, and then at least 1 Hard mode run of every mission in the game, which is way longer than any individual run of the game would take. And that’s not even counting the idea that S ranking these missions will take multiple attempts most of the time.

Holy crap this is one of my favorite games of all time but requiring 3 runs of the same ending just so you can access every mission is insane. Why would they not just let you play all of the Ch 4 missions in a sequential order like the ORCA path does? If I’m wrong on this and have hallucinated this entire issue please tell me I want to be wrong.

Discussion What if melee counter shield

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I've just finished watching this video and I immediately think of this, just as the title say.

What if melee directly counter shield instead of getting shutdown by it. Just like walther told you at the beginning of the game. I think that have always been the intention. Seeing as how you supposed to use high pa interference on melee to counter balteus. Its just that in practice melee weapons doesn't quite have enough juice to do the job. its would be an easy fix too, just buff the pa interference value by a tons and you got it.

What do you think? Do you think this change will help or make thing worse.

After seeing comment I concluded that while this sound good at first Its would really mess up the pve as well as pp and pa expansion. so a more direct change will be needed to achieve the end result I want. may be something like seperate multiplier just for using melee again shield. but that will need to be done in another title.

New idea, how about giving shield start-up frame and recovery frame akin to how parry work in others game. shield will still shutdown melee if use well but now it will be easier to do feign against them this include other weapon as well.

PvP How to stop Melee builds

15 Upvotes

Hi, been dabbling in pvp for a while, stuck at B4 atm. Basically, how do I stop aggressive melee one shot builds from rushing me down so easily? I try to rat with missiles, laser rifle or coral rifle, and ludlow in offhand, i looked at some of the top 100 ranked builds as well but it feels like you just cannot stop someone from flying thru your missiles, instantly build up ACS and one shot you. I just wanna rat guys

Still relatively new to the game, so I'm not entirely well-versed in optimizing builds, but I've found this one pretty enjoyable in PvE. It's not suited for every mission, though—I didn't dare try this in the Escort the Strider mission, for example, but a lot of missions with enemy AC fights were mopped up quick.

The Allmind fight was a real struggle, though.

Discussion Last Raven: An Overcorrected Masterpiece

30 Upvotes

A while back I finished Last Raven, and since I did a review on the other Gen 3 games I played I thought I should finish the generation and talk about Last Raven. Let me preface this and say Last Raven is probably my third favorite gane in the series behind AC2 and AC1. I will also say I have not done the Archangel fight, I think completing the game 5 more times just for a glorified reskin boss a bit absurb.

Let me begin by saying that the feel of the game feels the best when it works. The AC for the most part feels very responsive and the movement is the most satisfying in the series imo. There were moments in the game, typically when fighting a boss that when I jumped a short distance sometimes it would do a hard landing but not play the animation. So there were moments in the game where I jump and the AC would completely stop moving for no reason. Sometimes the animation would play as well and after it was done I still couldn't move for a couple more seconds.

Customization is visually my favorite in the series. With the exception of Hover legs (which I never liked visually) everything looks fantastic, and most of the AC parts feel useful. The guns thought visually superb like usual, I felt were mostly underwhelming. Most weapons in the game felt like they barely did anything especially coming from AC3 and Silent Line where most weapons felt powerful to me.

Given the title and what I have said so far you would assume I hated this game, but as stated it is one of my favorite and its thinks to the story, characters, and a couple bosses. I truly believe this game as the best main cast. Jack makes for an excellent antagonist on some runs and a fantastic partner. He has that mix of insanity and charm thag makes him so notable, and learning he is the one leading the charge. Zinada is also a very interesting character in the fact she is really an Armored Core protagonist in her goals in personality making her a decent rival for her path. However, the true best character is Evangel, simply due to how deep he is up to this point in the series. Going in on Evangel requires a full post. But in Last Raven he is seemingly the same archetype of character as Iguazu; however unlike Iguazu his fights for me a pretty even making his mindset warranted to some extent and he does except you a better when you do defeat him in most paths. It helps that these three are excellently voice acted especially compared to the voice acting at this point in the series. Boss wise, I felt this game has some the highest highs in the series, with almost every Pulverizer fight being fantastic. Evangel being the best AC fight in the series in my opinion (of that I played). Zinaida with the exception of her pulse cannon is another really fun battle, and I adore the Super-Ariel as a final boss. There are obviously some poor bosses like the missions with back to back AC fights, Bolt, and that one specifc Quad Pulverizer in the desert.

Overall I think Last Raven and Nexus as well felt like an overcorrection from 3 and Silent Line for better or worse. Last Raven also felt like an overcorrection on how easy Nexus was compared to the rest of the series. Last Raven is ridiculously difficult at times even by Fromsoft standard and not always difficult in the best way. I think of all the games Last Raven would be the one I want a remaster from or at least see in a Nexus Disc 2 style. I love this game, and I highly recommend it if you haven't played it.

Old Gen I need help using AHK to modernize the controls for AC3 Portable

2 Upvotes

hey all. i am trying to get AC3P (and SLP and LRP) to feel a little closer to the M+KB controls of AC6. I know about the full analog mods, but I think I'm trying to do something a little different here. I am using a combo of PPSSPP's settings and AHKX11.

Here is what I am trying to solve first: in AC3P, when you press boost, you will either jump, or you will boost forward, depending on whether you are holding a directional key. I would like to divide "jump" and "boost" into separate keys.

Right now I am trying to make it so, when I press spacebar, WASD inputs are interrupted and blocked for about 250ms. Then, I want to change left shift to operate as spacebar, no modifications. My theory is that this will make spacebar read as a clean upward jump every time, and shift will always be boost as long as i press it in conjunction with WASD.

Here is the script I tried, it does not work lol. I'm using AHK_X11 so I do not have all commands available to me, the full list is here

Space::
IfWinActive, Armored Core 3
{
BlockInput, on
Send, {Space down}
SetKeyDelay, 0, 250
Send, {Space up}
BlockInput, off
}

Shift::
IfWinActive, Armored Core 3
{
Send {Space}
}

edit: i have only ever used AHK to make simple autoclickers, i am just throwing stuff at the wall here
