Armored Core

The Secret Level short was fine, forgettable. Most action with barely any plot at all. Sound design remained unremarkable.

The few SL shorts we watched were all the same, you could tell the direction on them was effectively to make a cool trailer and nothing else. I was more interested in the very repetitive formula they use in them. While I am left with no real complaints about these choices, I am also left with no real compliments. It was fun enough.

I only recently heard of "Secret Level" and noticed they had an Armored Core short (God I haven't played AC in a while what the fuck is wrong with me), I'm...not too impressed, in fact like @Soggy Floppa said the audio design is not great. Visually it looks good but I'm not getting great vibes from it.
I watched it yesterday and it was okay. Audio design is very low end heavy but on a proper setup it sounds a lot better than the youtube video. Audio design all over the whole series was completely inconsistent, the Unreal Tournament episode was extremely quiet with no bass, none of the episodes really had any dynamic range other than the Sifu one. The AC episode is too short and focuses too much on the character instead of the ACs, and they spend basically the whole episode flying around like Gundams or fighter jets instead of the AC jumping sort of thing. Felt more like a generic mech thing than really Armored Core, I was hoping it would have been like the intro movies, or at least the AC6 reveal trailer since that one fucks.
 
I just finished watching the AC episode and while i thought it was a solid watch it was strange that they didn't focus on the ACs more. im especially surprised they had a human being appear considering you pretty much go the whole game without ever seeing a human or a face. the sights were always on the ACs and other mechanical joys you see and cross pulse blades with.

The unwashed masses do not understand nor care about the beauty of steel. They wants to connect themselves to the weak flesh puppets. The unmatched metal carnage mixed with dramatic voices of their pilots should be the main focus tbh.
 
Reached S rank in Ranked mode, I can see a LAMMERGEIER leg nerf in the future, seeing how fucking effective it is in various lightweight configuration. I've been using LAMMERGEIER legs with 2 NEBULA for charged shots only and flex shoulder options for punish during stagger. If you're smart with your movements, you can outmaneuvers and outplay your opponent by using the NEBULA AoE blast as smokescreen to mask your movements during close range fights while also damaging them. It's also quite effective at playing keep away with LCB tanks, laser swappers and BVOs. A lot of of player seems to forget that vertical movements are a thing and they keep getting damaged by NEBULA charged AoE from above or below while they can't shoot straight up or down to hit me.

ATTACHE desperately needs some kind of buff to be somewhat viable in PvP, that slow rate of fire, inability to stagger firing properly and dogshit accuracy when dual firing like with any other MGs is really killing it.

Handheld pulse missiles are quite fun as a support weapon in 3v3 but it's lacking in 1v1 due to how you can avoid most of the projectiles, charged or otherwise. Here's hoping for a back mounted pulse missile weapon.

SHAO WEI back mounted minigun is a viable alternative to HUXLEY but requires more focus to actually use it instead of turning on and forget about it for the next 10 seconds. My respects go to players who use all 4 minigun AB rushing in without a care.

If it's PvE only then it's pretty much fine in all aspect. For PvP though, you can switch to the FCS for Ocellus because the missile lock time penalty isn't that bad on fast homing missiles like the ones you use (0.4s lock on time, multiply by {missile lock time stat}/100) and San Tai if you have spare weight for it, otherwise one of the mid capacity Arquebus generator will do. Arms could use a bit more recoil control but if you're going to hold it down while in range then it doesn't matter, just get arms with high melee spec and above 100 firearms spec.
 
Might as well as here:
Anyone know how to add or remove specific items from game (AC6)? As in edit my save and add/remove certain items. I've asks forums, nexus, fucking dicksword but I'm either ignored, muted, or outright banned, it's sad. What's sadder is that I'm used to this from the modding scene, if you don't now someone good luck getting any help. Any who does try to help either doesn't understand what I'm asking or doesn't know how but is willing to "signal boost" it so that nice.

Just post that you accidentally downloaded a mod that puts the ACK image in your inventory and you will commit suicide if you can't find a way to remove it from your 400 hour save.
 
Has AC4 and AC5 gotten better on emulators? I remember struggling to run them (mostly AC4) because of how PS3 emulation works, though I haven't tried Canary.

ACFA and ACVD both have working multiplayer now iirc and when I played AC4 and ACFA a couple of years ago they worked just fine.

AC4 and FA both work perfectly fine on emulator with mild tweaks that are easy to look up.

AC5 and VD are a bit trickier to get up and running and you may either have to do some digging or maybe a kind Kiwi can point you in the right direction.
 
Much appreciated folks, I'll give Canary a try and check out RPCS3 again. I lost my PS3 so I can't play on console anymore and I'm too broke to buy a new one. In other news, was looking around for some nice looking AC6 builds for some inspirations, most of what I'd find are fashion subplebbits so I figured it wouldn't be too bad, how could plebbit possibly make fashioncore insufferab-

God damn it. And you can imagine the comments.

I'm genuinely surprised to see not only was his based comment not removed but actually got an upvote in the second one. Shame we lost a potential fan to trooner-

You know what, fuck everyone in these screenshots. Except this one:

Nice of them to let me know they're prime target for dilation with a pile bunker (without PA).
>Purge weapons
>"Assume the position"
Sadly I'd think they'd like that, wanting to disrespect someone by using only your fists and kicks might turn into some fuel for their fetishes...

Maybe Cheat Engine? There's a cheat table for AC6 though I've never used it: https://github.com/The-Grand-Archives/ARMORED-CORE-VI-CT-TGA
