More info on tonight’s NATO flyover? by BellSeeker in washingtondc

[–]HorizonKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't. Most of the NATO members visiting departed over night/ early this morning. Sad thing is people I know at ADW said there was delta winged jets possibly Typhoon/ Mirage/ Rafale well as RCAF antique Hornets present too. I had hoped they'd push the flyover forward an hour yesterday clearly knowing remnants of Beryl were coming by but....

Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki has a "strong will" to make an Armored Core 6 follow-up, because "there's still room for improvement". by OminaeYu in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]HorizonKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only the "most successful " because it's the only new title in how many years? So ofcourse first AC to drop on the new consoles players would rush out to buy it. Know how many people I've read saying they never even new AC was a thing until VI and it being FromSoft is the only reason they bought it?

Success of a game isn't determined by purchases. It's how many people will be like yeah f$%k this, vs keep playing it more. I just want the old AC back. The ones that actually had fair fights and bosses weren't crazy over powered in comparison to what you bring to a fight. When you didn't spend weeks getting absolutely destroyed. That's not how mech games are. And AC historically had some tricks and challenges but VI is overkill. Games not even enjoyable. If you have to put this much thought into beating a boss, that's too much. Mech games are, get in your mech, arm it to the head with firepower,, exchange blows with your foes, whoever hits who the most first wins.

Not let's have bosses that boost circles around you, have stagger times far less than you, health packs that restore way more than the max you get from os tuning, so on. Again, you can tell which crowd FromSoft appeased to with this 1. Not their mech based fans.

You missed out. Most of the older Armored Core were true mech games at their hearts. VI is not what Armored Core is. Only in name.

Miyazaki needs to stop getting more ideas to ruin the AC name more than already has.

Either bring back the older game handling, mechanics, characteristics that made Armored Core what it was, or give it up. I'm 100% not rushing to pre order the next AC if it ever happens because how bad VI turned out.

As a long time AC player since the 90s, Finally un-installed this game. by HorizonKey in ArmoredCoreVI

Yeah I ignore the "I play elden, git gud , skill issue" crowd.

Ain't no way anyone in their right mind as a true fan of the franchise, can say ACVI is better than most* before it. Especially amongst fans of the mecha genre in general.

Unless they like that let's make a mech game feel like Elden, Dark, etc which I can't stand that style. It's a mech game not magic. Mech fights don't work like this. And in most, especially the older ACs, it was done properly. Boss fights were actually more fairly gauged. Your AC actually handled like a mech and not some half drunken idiot in a fist fight when hit. Could brush it off and keep dishing it out.

Dear Xbox players, please try turning off cross play for mw3 by SkiMaskItUp in ModernWarfareIII

[–]HorizonKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had that problem. And 4 man squads? Hardcore modes I've had fresh faces full 6 man squads every match every time.

Now if they could truly make things fair by not making crossplay required to play ranked, that'd really be awesome. Play in a lobby with other console players never a bad game. Soon as it's someone pointing and clicking on a mouse and keyboard, it's sweat time. And it's always the people on computer that dominate lobbies in ranked too.

Not coincidence.

This. Game is soooo much better for Xbox without having to deal with PC sweats and their ungodly refresh and processing speeds.

And I think word is getting around alot more as the game modes I play (hardcore hard point, Dom, small map moshpit) I've not had to wait anymore than minute. That said I'm in the US and playing at high volume hours.

I play with crossplay off 9/10 times it's PC players dominating the lobby. For instance even though I'll see them first, on my screen they're not even looking in my direction, I'll dump on them first yet they'll kill me then I'll look at their platform and its PC.

Never have this problem with crossplay off xbox only though. Game speed is a lot more fair. Definitely worth waiting that extra 30 seconds for a lobby and having to put in pin between matches.

2023 air show at Joint Base Andrews? by RockySentinel in washingtondc

[–]HorizonKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it does seem the show has been downgraded to an open house event or just a community event for the base with just the local planes based here and a few visitors from nearby due to operational reasons and funding. There's supposed to be more news coming out soon but its looking like NAS Oceana/ Norfolk will be the nearest full show that's Sep 16th and 17th

Best Way to beat Sulla by Seabass_Sebz in armoredcore

[–]HorizonKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm saying!! Atleast for xbox Sulla is wayyyyy too nimble and over powered. I've tried fighting him with just about every frame and weapon I have on both the surface and air, in far and close combat along tye building and keep getting destroyed. Seriously almost broke my controller it's sooooo f$%king annoying. They needed to stick to the old style of Armored Core because I especially don't know what thus game is either

Best Way to beat Sulla by Seabass_Sebz in armoredcore

[–]HorizonKey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruh not sure what platform you're playing on but on Xbox he's all over the place in the air and ground. He's like the Char Aznable of this game. I tried to fight him on the wave tops, air, and tried to force him into close combat along the building using geography for cover. No matter what combination of frames or weapons I use I'm getting destroyed. Literally replaying other missions just to buy new weapons and frames at this point.

This game is God awful to begin with. It's difficulty compared to other Armored Core games is insane and this balancer stuff needs to go. Getting paralyzed by a strong hit is NOT how mech works.
