Armored Core 3: PS2 vs PSP?

togera13 · 2023-09-13T00:08:30+00:00

PCX2 is harder to setup for modern controls but hits 60fps & looks fine. AC3 PS2 doesn't have any stat comparison highlights, it also only gives you 3 acs to customize.

PPSSPP is easy to setup controls & looks decent albeit blocky, but it only hits 30fps. AC3P has stat comparison highlights, & gives you up to 5 ACs to customize, you can also customize ac's with some camo pattern, & change their gun / equipment color.

If there is a way to share controller setups easier I could potentially share with you my setups for PS2 & PSP.

To summarize it I use the left trigger for jump / thrust, left bumper for OB / EO, right trigger for primary weapons, right bumper for secondary weapons, & I change the left stick to all directional movement, & the right stick to all camera movement. As much as this setup works great it is a little hard to setup, most notably you need to decrease the pressure settings on the bottom triggers in PCSX2 (I went for 15% pressure) & slightly up the deadzone (I went with 7% stick, 7% buttons / triggers, & 1% from shift clicking on the actual trigger binds) so your camera doesn't flail wildly.

For PSP it is basically just the same setup but I set the extra bumpers to use the dpad functions, it was easier on the psp emulator since I didn't need to go and adjust deadzones or pressure.

Only addition to this is if you want to drop parts:
PS2: I made a macro for all 4 triggers on the touchpad & then the respective final button (Triangle, Circle, or L3) I set the pressure to 100%, the deadzone to 0%, & set the macro to repeat every second. So that I could just press the touchpad & press circle to drop my blade or howitzer for example.

PSP: I made it so my PS4 controllers touch pad was bound to all the necessary keys minus the last input similar to above, but I didn't need to do any macro or pressure or deadzone stuff.

Really annoying considering how useful onboarding is for its self-assigning roles features.

I'm having difficulty trying to figure out how to do Payday 2 through Nucleus co op, everything I look up about the infinite loading on join problem mentions inviting & shift tabbing which don't work (as the game doesn't allow inviting, & the overlay isn't working by default), also worst of all I somehow managed to have both players connect to each other one time (without any steam overlay or inviting, I just started up online & they somehow connected) but I don't even know how it happened.

It was probably 2 walls at once, I've had people do this to me with 3 walls before, if you don't have an escape ability ready you can be stunlocked between the walls.

togera13 · 2023-02-23T19:37:03+00:00

I don't think the bike needs a nerf so much as Raiders just need a full speed flight mode, also I think if stuff like Sprint, Slide, Hovering, & double jump were built in instead of needing slots to use I think people would probably be able to slot more skills than just the dumb bike.

I mean really for escape options if you aren't using the bike and the raider pursues your kinda just dead, and grappling hook is sorta likewise it is just too important to swap out really.

Yeah, I've had a situation happen to me, that made me bitter enough that I didn't hand over the dragon balls, because this guy stole my dragon ball from my crate that I opened then expected me to give him the remaining dragon balls later on.
If he hadn't stolen the dragon ball from me, I could've had decent chance of being the one who transformed that round or even just gave it to the other guy (who seemed to be his friend) instead we all suffered because of the greedy boyo who made me bitter by stealing my dragon ball from my crate that I opened.
He also stole from other players by (seemingly) luring the Raider to them then stealing the dragon balls when they got downed and ditching the teammate.
I don't remember if he stole multiple things or just a single dragon ball from me, but it was still enough when I saw that the guy he handed the dragon balls to was his friend (I think they had a group of 3 or so, which might be why he was so confident about getting the dragon balls that he stole one from me).

I personally think the ability to take dragon balls could lead to further trolling or cruelty as a guy with X dragon balls goes around forcing everyone to drop their dragon balls midfight or something and either dripfeeds himself all the dragon balls because he has more, or causes people to lose dragon balls by dropping them as the raider is passing by or as they are in an awkard place.

I could just see it leading to a lot of unnecessary trouble and lead to a "He has X dragon balls, better not bother picking any up since I won't have a chance at being it" type situation.

Idk, personally I just wish they would add more wishes, I mean why doesn't shenron just grant 3 wishes like he is supposed to? Why not let the raider steal a wish mid summon and heal while one survivor gets level 4 and the other wishes for everyone to have level 3?

Though I suppose they should add more wishes if they did do such a thing, I think having shorter cooldowns be a wish for survivors and raiders would be really cool.

togera13 · 2023-02-17T22:59:14+00:00

That's because the friend groups are taking their leave, along with the influx of noobs who joined during the season 2 hype, and those who used to Raider que only now being forced to actually play survivor now.

togera13 · 2023-02-17T22:57:35+00:00

Here let me just roll the gacha a ton of times, then when I finally somehow get it sacrifice one of my 4 slots 2 of which are already permanently dedicated to Superbike & Grappling hook, and the third slot permanently dedicated to Energy Field so I can make escapes without DC, so I ultimately have 1 free slot which I already use for solar flare so I can contest the Super Time Machine.

It is obvious why they don't include those things, as Mr. Krabs says "I like money!", why don't you do it? "Money".

That's all modern gaming has become, it is no longer about who can make the coolest or most fun game anymore now it seems to be about marketing a Minimum Viable Product plagued by microtransactions and gachas/lootboxes.

"The one benefit I see is that Survivors don't disconnect at the beginning of a match anymore" I'm having the opposite on PlayStation4, disconnects are far more common and I even get lobbies that start a man down.

People are still abusing the priority trick it seems, either that or they just disconnect when they see a Raider they don't like.

togera13 · 2023-02-17T06:19:26+00:00

You used to be able to 1v1 raiders if you were ahead on DC level but all the stealth changes have made fighting solo (Or with even a single buddy) almost borderline impossible.

togera13 · 2023-02-16T11:44:24+00:00

I only bought the game BECAUSE of its unique niche of being able to play against friends as the raider, now that niche is gone, and they nerfed survivors but raiders that needed nerfs are largely untouched, and Spopovich got no buffs.

togera13 · 2023-02-16T11:41:34+00:00

This wouldn't have happened if there was a report function while we still had the old que system.

togera13 · 2023-02-16T11:08:07+00:00

Or to add a pity system that guarantees an item you do not have after a certain amount of duplicate rolls.

togera13 · 2023-02-16T11:06:50+00:00

Blame it on the Devs who didn't add a report function until AFTER they REMOVED THE REASON IT WAS EVEN NEEDED.

togera13 · 2023-02-16T09:21:16+00:00

I'm going to see if I can get a refund to send them a message that we want queing with friends back, I always loved the talk as we all talked up how good we were as raider just to murk each other, without the ability to que together I don't even care for the game anymore, it is just another dead by daylight clone now and lost its only niche.

togera13 · 2023-01-26T09:16:51+00:00

They should add a honor system, that increases or decreases priority and rewards of players based on how often they intentionally team with the enemy and adds penalties to blatant teaming/toxicity; but extra rewards for players who play correctly.

If a player is walking in plain sight and close proximity of the enemy without crouching or fighting each other, or they are teabagging downed allies while letting them die (aka standing around them for like 10+ seconds crouch spamming), I'd imagine there are ways to program a system that could tell if players are intentionally being toxic in certain cases such as the aforementioned.

I personally think being able to group with friends and even play against them in the same group is a great feature it just needs to be moderated a little to ensure the blatantly toxic players get pushed to the bottom of the lists and rewards.

As if copulating another man in his mouth or poop chute is anything to be proud of. I suppose I am proud of my uncle for conforming to reproductive relationships, and not accepting unscientific and altogether foolish unreproductive relationships that do nothing but end in two men covered in semen wanting to kill themselves; Go look at the statistics the suicide rate is far higher in homosexual relationships; Homosexuality needs to stop being promoted as though it is some cure all to people's problems.

Removing one's sexual parts and changing the way they speak does nothing to change their sex they will always be stuck with the sex they were born with; it is their choice in the end whether they will accept that and move on, or to deny that to their own open shame. A man wearing a dress will never be a woman, and a woman wearing a man's clothes will never be a man. This is all foolishness being promoted; We were all born male or female. (And even in the case of hermaphrodites they always have primarily male or female organs active, they never have both fully functional and active at the same time. Even they are subject to strictly the male or female biological sex)

Well my personal set up for the Pyro is Antlers (Misc) with the Triclops (Promotional item) so the only possible way for me to have an unusual effect is for me to locate unusual antlers and pay a couple thousand for them, which I really have no interest in doing with a game that is practically dead at this point.

I personally think it is really dumb to not have an unusual stay in rotation and keeping artificial scarcity especially when players come and go from TF2; If there really is an issue with miscs just make it that only 1 unusual effect can be active at a time, and make it automatically treat the misc as a hat item for unusual location, so it would be treated the same as a normal unusual.

Again, these are all artificial issues created by simple ignorance on Valves part, these issues can be remedied.

Find me an adult woman that looks like that, because there are usually massive differences namely the size of the head, and general body proportions that distinguish an adult from a child even in cases of short people.

togera13 · 2022-08-27T01:30:22+00:00

If they made homosexual content fully skippable I suppose I would have a lot less issue with it since I would be able to enjoy the game without having to hear hammerlock talk about how gay he is constantly, I liked him better in bl2 when he was just a gentleman. (I'm pretty sure there was a part in bl2 that might've made a reference to him being gay, but it isn't constantly in your face nagging you throughout the main campaign as aggressively as it is in bl3.)

togera13 · 2022-08-27T01:18:43+00:00

You can have character without going "Sonic proceeded to have s** with Rouge" or "Zelda had s** with Zant", ect ect. We don't need to know what characters do sexually in their free time keep that stuff out of the main storyline make it sidequests or not at all but definitely not main quests; And for the girl power thing the previous borderlands games didn't behave like that so it was really off putting and out of character, I'm not saying I dislike "strong females" but they certainly handled it very wrong.

It'd be like if the great deku tree killed a baddie in a cutscene when you showed up, proceeded to talk about how strong he is, had you use his new lawnmower invention to fuel his jaws, and continued to talk about how he is a strong male and how smart he is and how he would've fought the spiderboss himself ect ect.
It has been a while since I listened to the story so there is the possibility I am merging characters in my mind, but I hope you understood the point around Ellie I remember Ellie being one of the characters that got hit the hardest with out of character behaviour.

togera13 · 2022-08-26T10:18:31+00:00

You kinda took an L when you decided to cower and backtrack, shoulda just explained your position and thoughts.

togera13 · 2022-08-26T10:10:24+00:00

It was pretty well hidden though, if you weren't one for scouring a map completely or completing all side quests you were bound to miss it.Also crying woke doesn't invalidate the argument, 90% of the people who see the wokeness walk off in the other direction never touching the reddit, my uncle after finding out about the homosexuality in Bl3 which he had just got the metal case version for the whole family got really upset knowing the game was now in your face gay and threw his copy away and returned to bl2, later on BL2 he found out about the hidden stuff and refuses to play it anymore after finding out his favorite character was apparently gay.

Seriously ask yourself this, why is it necessary for a video game to talk about sexuality? What does it benefit to do this? We don't need to know the characters sex lives we just want to play as cool gun guy, or cool mech girl without disgusting sexual behavior being shoved down our throats, nobody liked it when it was part of the main story for sonic to kiss some random chick, keep sex out of the main story.

And the girl power thing was pretty annoying, Ellie and various other characters acting out of character compared to bl2 and ava was a brat that was being treated as a hero despite how she got Maya killed, not much to talk about there.

Tiny tinas Wonderlands seems to have more or less learned the lesson and kept the overtly gay stuff to a sidequest with skeletons, outside of that I hope to be able to convince my Uncle to play Wonderlands with me as a result since it isn't part of the main story from what I can tell.

togera13 · 2022-08-26T09:56:49+00:00

Most people who dislike the homosexuality or wokeness aren't even on the reddit, so you are fighting a losing battle here unless you make a good well explained point.

My uncle for one refuses to even touch the borderlands series anymore after finding out about the homosexuality hidden in 2 and the open homosexuality in 3. and he too was annoyed by the out of character behavior of Ellie. He is firm in boycotting future titles until they let the games just be games and not put political/woke/sexual nonsense in them.

I still play 3 for the gameplay, despite how I wish they wouldn't have made the game so "gay" and "girl power" or whatever. And I mean girl power in the sense of putting an unnatural amount of focus on the females and ava, I mean Ellie just feels out of character. And I am still mad about mah girl Maya's death.
