    I actually really love the lore he put into his AC for this video
    A pilot who was so legendary and confident in their abilities that they put their ENTIRE networth into making their AC out of pure gold because they were so incredibly confident they would never get hit or scratched. They breeze through missions and tear enemies apart, without a scratch on their perfect golden AC.
    Then, on a mission, the pilot makes just one tiny mistake which puts an incredibly small *scratch* right on their armor. This one mistake is enough to make the AC pilot lose it, they turn from a legendary operator to an absolute beast that no longer cares about the condition of their AC. They stop caring for it, stop polishing it, and start allowing hits to be made on them - but they hit back much harder than they ever have before.

      @vencelfoldi8236 Год назад +63

      So true. I experimented with builds a lot and often tried to make specialized AC-s for missions, but I always had the ol' reliable setup, the build which I knew wasn't the best but was the closest to my playstyle and in general I was just the most comfortable with. Most of the times having an AC tailor fit for my exact playstyle felt just as rewarding as one tailor fit for the mission. And it also adds a tiny bit of a roleplay feel to it. It's not an AC assembled for a mission, it is MY armored core.

    • @Mirvra
      @Mirvra Год назад +60

      Thing is, both methods are completely valid.
      If you make a specialized AC for every encounter you're displaying your understanding of your enemies weaknesses and your strategic ability to exploit them.
      And if you make one singular AC, either a jack of all trades, or a personality specialized one(IE: An AC molded to fit your playstyle completely). You can then show your tactical ability in how you use your AC's strengths and weaknesses to overcome challenges that might sometimes seem insurmountable for a lesser skilled pilot.

      There is a surprisingly well written story in this game that involves you. Although it is still an armored core game, so dont expect something extraordinary here.
      There are about 10 BIG boss battles. then most levels also have at least one miniboss in it, and then ofcourse there are enemy ACs, and the arena making for the most thrilling fights and there are at least 20 of those + the arena where you fight them 1on1.
      This game IS costomization, this shouldn't even be a question. the answer is just "yes" ofcourse there is a lot of customization and stuff to collect, this is armored core, this is the soul of the game.

    The Tetrapod sniper in Mission 4 honestly feels like the point where any _Souls_ veterans who've never touched an _Armored Core_ game will find themselves thinking, 'Hang on, these attacks have _patterns_ to them!'

      the big baddie on top of the dam while you take out AA turrets?
      I've ran through that mission over a dozen times to test out different setups on that enemy. it killed me my first three or so playthroughs of the mission (I was adamant to leave no survivors.) like the fourth time around, something clicked where I was like "wait, it has well-defined patterns and timings to its shots and swings. I can definitely dodge these consistently."
      haven't died to it since, even if I've came close w less than great setups.
      edit: it has since applied to many, many other enemies as well. like the Stridor eye, wiped me my first few tries until I realized the timing.

    "Staying at range is safer, but you aren't gonna do much damage that way." If there is anything to take away from this video, it's this.

      ​@loafloafer to give you an idea of how complicated the older titles were: we used to have to worry about cooling in addition to energy while not being able to use the thumbsticks to aim or move. In AC Nexus: Evolution alone I must have spent hundreds of hours just trying to get my cooling rate balanced with energy. With emulators using joysticks or changing face inputs is simple, but things haven't always been so friendly hahaha another thing that stands out is that we had to switch to our R. BACK weapon. You couldn't just fire it with a button press, it was an alternate to your R. ARM but you could fire your L. ARM while using R. BACK. And some of our weapons straight stopped us like the Gatling for the BACK, it could fire 25 shots before reloading but you couldn't move and shoot with it.

    Edit 2: After watching it - I can understand why you would have given up around Balteus. Balteus definitely can be beaten without taking damage, but it would require a very precise combination of assault boosting and quick dodging on a suitably fast build due to his missile spam. Other than his missile spam none of his other attacks are as hard to fully avoid. A good strategy would probably be to have enough damage to basically instantaneously break his shield and stagger him while staying close enough that he can't use his missiles often. I have beaten him multiple times with different strategies, but never really was trying to take "no damage" (avoiding 95% of the missiles while being aggressive was enough), so I can't comment much more.

    Absolutely fantastic attempt! I feel like the frustrating bit is that I don't think it's going to be completely within your control whether you can avoid taking minor amounts of splash damage in this game. Stuff like that pulse gun has RNG on the pattern that comes out and stuff like the plasma missiles are going to be finicky. I think it's probably possible to no-damage beat Sulla, but I think it'd be perfect play and luck at the same time, and that's beyond mind-numbing to try and grind through.
    Maybe instead of doing a perfect no damage run, you could go for a segmented run? See how many of the missions you can beat no-damage rather than letting any particular one roadblock you. The ones where you succeed it's great to see how you went about doing it!

    Something in previous games that would help a lot, is some cores had missile defense systems. They would automatically shoot down small missiles that came in range and they had a limited amount of ammo for this. In missions with a lot of annoying missiles I would switch to cores with very good missiles defense. It didn't work on large missiles which is fine since they were slow and dodgable but it would still try and waste an ammo on that. Light cores typically had better missile defense which somewhat made them comparable to the huge amounts of AP heavy cores had, which would usually have auto turrets instead. Also previous games had Flare weapons which would attract missiles to them and protect you from volleys of missiles. I bring this up because missiles are IMO the most annoying thing in this game and I wish these anti-missile features returned.

    Can you beat AC6 without getting hit?
    Not until 10pm tonight I can't! ... Also, not after that either.

    You can't. Why? You start the game damaged!

    Me, who played the old Armored Core games, Last Raven as my very first game as a kid, Armored Core 3 and Silent Line in Grade School, then Armored Core For Answer and Armored Core 5 Verdict Day in highschool, now in college with Armored Core 6, it is very weird to me that Armored Core is getting quite the attention. I'm not saying it's bad but like, it's just that weird feeling you know. It being like a game hidden from the mainstream but now it's being hit up by multiple people just feels weird to me at least lol.
    it's awesome though, truly, that many people are getting to know Armored Core.

    I like using the scanner with missiles. You can lock on and launch vertical missiles from cover that way.

    While I haven't seen the rest of the footage, how you play in Illegal Entry actually feels like how a mech pilot would handle in real life where you don't have a health bar to keep you alive and a lucky shot could kill you. I may just be weird here, but I find it as satisfying and enjoyable as when someone goes full Gundam Protag in a fight.

    I like the part about customization.
    I have a good dozen of different builds that I all like and that I specially made, painted, optimized.
    But if I really struggle, I go back to a max tank machine gun arms big rear cannons build, that just tears everything to oblivion.

    The mining ship guns are nice, basically more like autocannons than assault rifles

    Just completed the game and the full 3 paths today, I can confidently say theres no way to fully avoid damage, at least not on some of the other paths. Multi-AC fights just straight up aint happenin' too. Awsome vid tho

    Regarding the controller: you can use the edge of your thumb to please buttons while aiming. That's how i play every game.
