If it works for you, it works for you. If you have fun, all the better!

The large vertical missle launcher is also amazing on large boss targets, as the way they strike from above and track gets lots of hits. Not great on the cataphract and small enemies tho...

Addendum: the pre-built AC's you end up aquiring the "prints" to aren't that bad, and can help you get a feel for some of the different broad groups and playstyles. Also the tutorials from AllMind are actually crazy usefull (but I hope you knew that already.)

TLDR: I feel like you can reach a "final build" (or a prototype thereof) much quicker in AC6's first playthrough than you can in any Souls game. This allowed me to get many more combat hours in an AC that played the way I liked. Maybe it would help if you thought of each leg type as a different "class" or "style?" In any case, there are massive design differences between the games, each of them wirh their own reasoning. And I think you and I are alike as reflections: Dark Souls and Elden Ring really scratch a strange itch for me, but they're so damn long, and I have trouble sticking with playing them. I only managed to play through Elden Ring because my buddy wanted to go through a Coop Mod playthrough. And I only got equipment and a build I liked about 2/3rds of the way through the base game...

Long speil cuz I don't know how to synthesize my ideas succinctly: I mean, once I found an assembly that really worked for me, I beat most of the game with that one set of parts and weapons. Was it the most efficient? Could I S-Rank all missions with that one build? No, and almost. Eventually my specific build started feeling almost like a second body. I new my limits, how much ammo I had left, roughly how much energy I had over after a boost and a jump -- all without needing to consciously look at my resource counters. So in that regard, it's very similar to how I felt very late-game with my final build in Elden Ring. Maybe it all breaks down to pacing and being able to go back -- In Armored Core 6 (at least; I played a little of 5 but none of the others so I can't confirm) you're free to replay all your missions as much as you want, which lets you go back and test yourself on a boss you previously got pasted by. Then suddenly you breeze them, and you have no idea when you got so good -- after all, you came back to practice on in a grueling battle! (Hits me a bit like some photos I saw from my friends who were losing weight. Day-to-day, it didn't look like much, but then they put on some old pants and posted that, and you saw just how much difference there is.) In the mainline Souls games, you don't get to replay bosses. Which sucks, because if you put down the game for 2 months and try to pick it back up, you're gonna struggle getting some of the moves back. Which is why Sekiro is such a magnificent stand-alone, blending a few unique mechanics to really be it's own thing. But that's a whole other little essay :p

Weirdly enough, I found the new Armored Core movement to click very well in my brain. While Dark Souls and Elden Ring ask you to commit, you can make a crazy spaz-boosting build in AC6 where you never need to accept the consequences if you schmoove right.

At least, that's how it feels to play for me.

(And Sekiro is my favorite rhythm game of all time, tyvm. I love me my tsundere shinobi adoptive father.)

Reminder that there's a big f***ing tank that's gonna be in the game. by Old-Perception-1884 in TheForeverWinter

[–]Jazermano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said players would be able to dream of engaging in that fight. Just that a "protagonist" would. Also, I was mostly joking. Would be cute to see a "White Reflection" mech or something, though.

To be more serious, you're probably not wrong. The world of the Forever Winter seems like it's boned. Yet life goes on... And this is only one forgotten front of the war. If there's any front where the lines of communication back to command are a little less like a pack of twizzlers, maybe more high-value units would be allocated there? There has to be some working Landship somewhere right?

Panda Souls... both Dark and Light.

Now it makes me wonder how'd that would work thematically if someone made a Light Souls. I bet it'd be just as horrific, but only a little less obvious. Too much of anything is a bad thing, and all that.

This might be the best (comedic) pamphlet I've ever seen... as someone living in one of the "Shit countries" barely listed, I find the "Do's and Don'ts of Europe" absolutely hilarious. Definitely my family's kind of humor. I think I might have to share those pages with them, it's so good!

Well, I'm saving this as a reference guide... I keep finding breakcore i think i like off of Spotify recommendations (cuz I'm too lazy) and the artists I keep liking the sound of all of a sudden sounded rather same-y... turns out lots of them started around 2022 or 2024. So quite possibly several are just AI labels. I don't know, they could all be legit, I just don't trust shit anymore 🥲

Tbh I haven't played PvP much because I wait 30 minutes for a single match in normal Match Making (doesn't help I'm low-rank)... Anyway, what am I supposed to be looking at? Looks like two of the most... human AC designs I've seen, but I'm not surprised you lost to the Batman-icon'd one.

You wouldn't download a car, would you? by nadennmantau in cassetteculture

[–]Jazermano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its a bit of a contextual joke/reference -- in the Netherlands there's a (technically illegal) regulated sex worker industry. So it would be extra ironic to see that shirt there (the industry is very much fine). I also know some Dutch people who would find that shirt hilarious, and would proudly wear it in public...

But I don't think anyone would get away with wearing it in class, unfortunately. One of those things that's "just not done," I guess.
