How excited are you for Armored Core 6?
I'm trying to lower my expectations somewhat: There are some small things I'm cautious about, mainly in terms of gamefeel -- that the game might be too response or too light feeling.
Otherwise, all systems go and I'm counting down the days (12 to go).
I think it might be the only game I've ever pre-ordered, I will say, since I think pre-ordering is a scam.
Alien: What do these letters mean? Human: “Massively Multiplayer Online Game” Alien: Shouldn’t there be a “G” in there as well then? Human: Then it would be “MMOG”, and that sounds silly when said out loud. Alien: *Looks sad* Human: Oh Christ your name is Mmog, isn’t it? ---------------------------
Alien: So this game is about the star wars religious fanatics fighting each other? Human: Pretty much. Alien: You would think the rest of the galaxy would have united and wiped them all out by now since it looks like the majority of conflicts are started by one side or the other. Human: Pretty hard to stamp them out when they can crush your windpipe from half a star system away. ----------------------------
Alien: So evil triangles fighting good spheres? Human: Pretty much. Alien: That doesn’t sound exciting. Human: It was before they put up a paywall around everything believe it or not. Alien: How so? Human: Well for one thing you got to punch an ancient worm god the size of a skyscraper in the face on Mars. Alien: Wow, that does sound like fun. -------------------------------
Alien: Friend human, I wish to start a fight but I don’t know hard. Human: Oh that’s easy. Human: Walk into any of those blue cities and shout in chat “Sylvanas did nothing wrong!”. Alien: Thanks. *An hour passes* Human: How’s it going? Alien: I’m not sure how but I may have started an in-game race war. Human: Ah; classic indeed. ---------------------------------
Alien: So this one is about flying around the universe and raiding people? Human: Yup. Alien: Isn’t that what we do now though? Human: Well when it came out it was depicting the future so it was more exciting. Alien: I’ll say. Alien: For being supposedly dangerous I’ve seen waiting lines at amusement parks on Florp III that were more harrowing. Human: They never did find that little girl waiting for the teacup ride. -------------------
Alien: Why are there fire pits everywhere?!?! Alien: There are not enough players to need so many. Human: you just don’t understand. Alien: Understand what? Human: You always need to leave a trail of fire pits behind you as you go in this game. Alien: Why? Human: *Points behind alien character to see angry band of players dodging way through fire pits trying to attack them* ---------------------
Alien: I don’t like this one. Human: Really? Human: You loved the two previous entries. Alien: Those were both offline games and this one isn’t. Alien: Plus it has a really annoying feature I hate. Human: Which is? Alien: Having to interact with other players to complete missions. -------------------
Human: They called this one a wow killer. Alien: How’d this get a name like that? Human: Well for starters they invested in decent writers. ------------------
Human: I heard that one is rather good. Alien: I guess. Human: You sound disappointed. Alien: Well I’ve yet to come across this black desert the title speaks of and I’m starting to get upset. -------------------
Alien: All I wanted to do was mine asteroids!!! Human: Yeah, but you did it in their territory. Alien: This is government controlled systems! Alien: Nothing is player controlled!!! Human: Probably explains why they are swarming you with cheap ships. Alien: Why!?!? Human: They’re probably hoping they can take you out before concord floods the system and wipes them all out. Alien: That’s crazy! Alien: They’d waste dozens of ships just to take out my lone miner? Human: Let me tell you about a little group called “Goonswarm”. ----------------------------
Alien: So everything is player created in this world? Human: For the economy at least. Alien: That would explain a few things. Human: Like why there is super inflation for a bundle of wood? Alien: More so why every sword for sale is called a variation of “Buttsmasher”
Through the whole series what's your favorite weapon in Armored Core?
Ok. So. Hear me out.
The KIKU. (and every other "pile bunker"-ish weapon in the series)
Yes it's impractical, yes it's basically never gonna connect, in a game where everyone's flying around each other at mach 9, never touching the ground and never standing still, why would you take in a small, slow firing melee weapon???
Because holy SHIT when it connects??? it fucking CONNECTS
Basically EVERYTHING, including arms forts, WILL fall to a single spike of pure fuckin metal piercing through their frame and directly into a pilot, and even just the concept of that is pretty fuckin sick if you ask me!!!
This sentiment carries over into basically every single pile bunker in the series for me!! AND LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I WAS FED WITH THE AC6 TRAILER CAUSE .
OUGH . OUHHHJGHHKJTJNGH,,
I’m very sorry, Laura Bailey, but my pal Thermidor asked me to kill you and your friend.
so for anyone who thinks that the stuff you can do in armored core 6 is fucked up, you ain't seen nothing yet, lap dog
