Armored Core

Because I’m a lazy unartistic faggot can anyone make this a decal on the ps5 version?

If the game is all about experimenting with builds, why are the parts so absurdly expensive? They should give you all the parts for free.

Just stupid MMO tier grinding.

You have to experiment with builds, but can't shop when you reach a checkpoint (I can afford like, one good build without repeating missions)

But the saddest thing is, all those missions where you one-shot all the shitty mechs are just mind-numbing boring. Then, when you finally face a boss to spice things up it's just a total dick that needs a very specific strat to put down.

The level design in this game is really bad so far.

I'm at the seaspider now. The level design was thing
- move from A to B while perfectly timing dodge to avoid lazer beams
- Kill a dozen one shot wonders
- Big fucking sea spider which you won't kill unless you have the perfect build which you read about on the internet and the RNG is with you.

This is literally one mission after the cleaner, which was another annoying boss.
How about they skip the normal missions which are full of trash one hit kills, and just do boss melees?
I swear, I'm just ignoring hype from now on...all the early playthroughs gushed over this game and made it clear that NO THIS IS NOT SOULS LIKE

I started a mission and the game was hanging on the loading screen, so I quit out and relaunched. Now after selecting continue it hangs on the loading screen to the hanger. I tried a complete reinstall but it didn't work. Hope my save file isn't fucked. Anyone else have this issue? PC btw.

It's a fun game apart from this, although the bosses feel completely RNG and are the weakest part of the game. I wish there were longer missions with more regular enemies.

It would probably be worth the money to invest in a controller with rear buttons. The steam deck was the first time I used them, and I was surprised how much they relieve hand strain.

I didnt even think of this. I already refunded sadly, but I think I will just hold off and grab it on sale.

I ended up watching my buddy play and wipe on Basteus for 4 hours straight. I pointed out at the end that he should try using the hard lock on, which he said he was..

Apparently he was moving the right stick and breaking the lock on. After we figured that out he beat the boss in 2 tries.

You can sell parts for 100% value, a feature shared by almost every other AC game. This essentially gives you the ability to rebuild out of anything available in the shop almost right away. You just can't access the shop during a checkpoint retry.

Just a PSA in case anyone else spent the early game grinding for trash upgrades at the shop - Do the training missions. They reward you with VERY good parts. This laser pistol kicks ass.

Don't sleep on the kinetic pistols either, their stagger damage is really high. If you run a double pistol build and pair them with high damage shoulder weapons (songbirds) or a melee weapon with the weapon bays OS upgrade, you can get some absolutely hideous burst damage on a very fast build. You have to watch your ammo though, the kinetic pistols don't carry very much.

Just unlocked C level arena. So far it's alright but I feel like it needs more filler rather than nearly every stage having a boss. I also don't like the stagger system too much, it's just too easy to get staggered when enemies dog pile you with ridiculous rate of fire.

Current gear is relatively high armoured, chain gun, double bazooka, missile launcher and pile bunker. An all around set designed to fit every situation and lay down enough firepower to keep the stagger running.
 
Finished Chapter 3 and all A-Ranks on Arena Mode. Dual Gatlings with Boost Kick and Assault Armor (+IA-CO1G: AORTA, which you find at M19) turn 1v1s into a joke. The Sea Spider was annoying as fuck, but I think there will be worse encounters, especially at NG+(++).

Dual gatlings make most things pretty easy, once you get the VE-60SNA in chapter 3 and can have two of them they might as well have put a "press button to win" prompt when you enter a mission. Personally think the chapter 4 boss is the worst. The end boss has Malenia's clone thing but other than being ridiculously fast wasn't too bad, plus stun lancing it in the face ended it in like 1-2 minutes. That is if you choose to burn the planet down and kill Ayre as a result anyways, Maybe it's different if you choose another option but, lol, fuck her.

Probably won't go back and 100% it since there were only like 3-4 missions tops that were really fun and the rest were 1-3 minutes of filler before the next Armored Soulskiro experience. Shame since I liked AC a lot. Hopefully it selling well at least gets more mech games made, preferably without the aids riddled stagger and giant boss spam.
 
Game is fun but I'm getting really annoyed and tired of stagger doing absolutely nothing to enemies but they can stagger lock me to death.

It has also started crashing like crazy, once every mission or two, always in the hangar. Don't know if this has to do with me playing with anti-cheat disabled or what but its becoming an issue.
