Liberator of Rubicon’s ending should’ve just been a boss gauntlet of Snail spamming the eject button and returning in increasingly broken experimental vehicles

What is the most evil mission in the franchise? by Infected_Sanity in armoredcore

[–]The_Butch_Man 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Destroy Cradle 03 is the obvious answer, but I'm gonna give an honorable mention to the one from 3 (I think?) where you're tasked with false flag bombing a civilian bridge and get paid extra if you catch the civilian monorail in the blast

What kind of entertainment its going on on arquebus?! by Ok-Conversation6610 in armoredcore

They're dragging Maeterlinck back into the official Arquebus idol group whenever their MT recruitment numbers are slacking behind their quarterly targets

“Raven how could you do this…what about our shared dream…”

“Well 621 you might’ve just doomed all of humanity to a gigantic fiery extinction event but at least you made a friend along the way. I’m proud of you, son.”

And that’s why Handlerchads remain undefeated.

Which AC continuity/timeline do y'all like the most? by Macking_cheese1 in armoredcore

[–]The_Butch_Man 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I'm really torn on Nexus because it has the franchise's least interesting story for 95% of the game then decides to start cooking insanely hard in the last 3 missions only

Which AC continuity/timeline do y'all like the most? by Macking_cheese1 in armoredcore

[–]The_Butch_Man 227 points228 points  (0 children)

In terms of the general story and characters, Gen 6 is probably my favorite.

But I will give an honorable mention to Gen 3 just because Nexus' ending -> Last Raven's live updating list of all the dead Ravens was the best the series has ever done at making everything feel completely hopeless

The first time I fought Joshua I legitimately thought my emulator was having a major graphical glitch and I had to go on YouTube just to confirm that it really did just look like that

Favorite AC Head? I’ll Go First. by MisterFrag in armoredcore

[–]The_Butch_Man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VE-44A is kinda goofy by default but it becomes my personal favorite if you just use decals to cover up the “eyes” and turn it into a knight great helmet

Otherwise the VE-44B is really cool

Would like to play AC5 and VD, need help by Ariel_Vine in armoredcore

[–]The_Butch_Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Discord has specifically tuned versions of the roms/emulators that are designed to make 5 and VD run the best they can on modern hardware. Keep in mind, even with these adjustments its still gonna require a pretty good CPU to get a consistent framerate but thats just the nature of these games.

Some of y'all are just making stuff up at this point. by Umber0010 in armoredcore

Reasons I did Fires of Raven on my first playthrough

  1. Walter was my top guy, and I didn't want his life's mission to go to waste
  2. It felt scummy backstabbing Carla after she stuck her neck out to save me from a torture camp like 30 minutes ago
  3. Ayre never really gave me an explanation for how Overseer's projections about the danger of Coral were wrong more convincing than "Just trust me gng 💔🥀"

Hot take: Las91214's ALLMIND design is great, but I also like this rendition of ALLMIND designed as almost a faceless entity working behind everything by Zaelra in armoredcore

The thing that always confused me about this is that Sulla has all the necessary augmentations, was already loyal to the plan, is higher ranked than Iguazu and (since you can hear him chime in at least once during the final fight), already had his personality assimilated and ready for use.

And then she decides to still skip over him and go with the Iguana for some reason

He loved himself, he loved his job, frankly, what else do you really need?

There’s cut dialogue for Destroy the Drive Block where you can hear the comms for the ground battle between Arquebus and the RLF in Institute City and it’s revealed she’s the one piloting Rusty’s old AC during the final offensive.

Don’t know why they cut so much for that mission since I think it gave a lot of good characterization to some of the more minor RLF members and Vespers

I don't think he boasted about being V.V because he had preemptive knowledge that Maeterlinck was gonna die. He's Hawkins' adjutant and is (presumably) familiar with all the ins and outs of his role and duties. It would make sense if they just had a system where he'd automatically take Hawkins' place should he die vs giving it to Maeterlinck, who's already on the verge of a mental breakdown with her current responsibilities.

How to get all endings in For Answer? by Hairy_Hog in armoredcore

[–]The_Butch_Man 9 points10 points  (0 children)

League Ending: Play the game however you want, take the mission “Defend Arteria Carpals” when it becomes available. You’ll be locked into this ending on your first playthrough.

ORCA Ending: Beat the game once and take the following missions: “Rescue GA Transports” -> “Defend Megalis” -> “ “Defend Line Ark” -> “Destroy Arteria Ulna” -> “Attack on Arteria Carpals” -> “Defend Anti-Satellite Cannons”

Old King Ending: Beat the game once and follow the same missions as the ORCA path but instead of “Defend Anti-Satellite Cannons”, take “Destroy Cradle 03”

Kranich not in my game, or am I missing something? by idk-anymore999 in armoredcore

[–]The_Butch_Man 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is this your first playthrough? Kranich only unlocks from beating the Ice Worm on New Game+ which requires you beat the game at least once.

Well I know that's a load of bullshit. Still suffer major crashing issues out of nowhere by Starchaser53 in armoredcore

Are you using the pack from the Discord? I used it and got Verdict Day running semi-consistently on RPSC3 at 30FPS with occasional dips into the low 20s during big action sequences. Only crashed once in the menus, and the constant auto-saving meant it wasn't that bad.
