@dsaBOSS I'm just testing new builds as well as modifying famous build in order to fit my playstyle. I usually test my builds on Ibis ayre, allmind iguazu and branch members. Any build I like or has great drip is then tested against snail balteus for the adrenaline and feel.
As a newcomer to the series i got to say the difficulty of the helicopter is quite exaggerated by the community all i did was going for the sword attack while spamming missiles the first boss that wiped me was cel 240 cause i could just not target it with pc setting also ice worm is the goat
Once players came to the same conclusion, yeah it was straightforward. But I wouldn't say the difficulty was exaggerated. Most players and reviewers were stuck on the helicopter for so long it was considered the game's gatekeeper...until they faced pre-nerf Balteus.
I thought it was difficult enough, took me a few tries (between 6 to 12?) but once I figured it out its a walk in the park. Also hadnt invested a ton of time into pc gaming when I started so I was clumsy in general
Depends on the version too. After release 1.0, the other versions has a lot of the bosses nerfed, sometimes to the ground. Poor balteus.... his missiles can't hit anything anymore
On my first playthrough on AC6, I never brought the stun needle to the ice worm fight cuz I thought it be provided on the mission... And realized my mistake after my first playthrough😂😂😂😂. A spot on reaction from the newbie
As a newcomer, I hated having to pick sides. I hated the Vespers, but Rusty was the SINGULAR REASON I chose to go against Balam. Ahhhh... sorry, Michigan. Red... F you, Iguana.
I really wish they gave us an alternate mission where you side with the Redguns to stop Rusty. Too bad Michigan's "bad fall" was inevitable. Give us a Balam ending FROM!
It would be interesting to protect Michigan instead but there should be a twist to make 621 have a hard battle like many many ghost mechs attacking 621. (Which could be commanded by ALLMIND because Snail was politely talking to someone when hitting 621 after Ibis fight so it makes sense and a ghost mech investigated 621's landing.)
Use your assault boost to fly up closer to helicopter, then, use your pulse blade to slash it twice. Keep your using assault rifle and missile launcher but keep an eyes on your stamina and fly up to use your pulse blade once again. Of course, you must dodge with SHIFT button to move away on backwards or side by side of left or right to avoid from enemy's ranged weapons.
AC 6 may have been my first AC game but i knew what i was in for i had all my blank spreadsheets and was prepared to spend 10 hours on making the perfect decals, and I still got unrecoverably lost in the overweight and energy shortage nightmare of making builds from scratch
•Dark Souls get lot of things from Armored Core Generation 1+2 games. •Most valuable - *core* of story about infinity circles of world reborn and one very skilled/determinated enough man what will choose in what direction will move next age. •Also: Stamina wha mostly used for movement, build building with "Frames"/"Sets" of armour what can work well together but player can mix their parts as well. And of course: *Lore talling based on messages or item description, what was made by mixing same features from Armored Core 1 and King's Field.* Dark Souls is new mutation/evolutionar adaptation for FromSoftware DNA, *but Armored Core are one of basic and from it valuable molecules in it what let Dark Souls even born.*
I had to explain the same thing to my friends who got into Dark Souls, but never heard of Armored Core. A lot of the fundamentals in those games originated back to FROM's older titles. Those games walked so the Souls series could run. Elden Ring is the perfect example of this.
@dsaBOSS I had to explain the same thing to the AC boomers who kept trying to say AC6 is "too Soulslike" like bruh. Armored Core MADE the Soulslikes what they are -King's Field did come first, but let's be real, most Fromsoft fans never played those games lmao-
Aside from on and off attempts at getting into ACFA going all the way up to White Glint somehow (the controls are weird as hell), i had no experience with AC before going into 6, yet somehow stuff like the spreadsheet-like info being thrown at me didnt freeze my brain, it mostly made sense and the few things that didnt were fixed by Contextual Help. Maybe that time with games like Monster Hunter World and Eve Online helped smoothen out that part.
@@dsaBOSS I have heard about that and think I remember with at least one of the first AC games...some shit about R1 and R2 being how you look up and down? Something like that. Though I think what made the controls hard to control isnt the layout, but the sheer pace you play at. From what I understand, the older games played a fair amount slower and steadily ramped up to the insane speeds of AC before they slowed it down a bit with 6. Hopefully I'll knuckle down and play the older games through emulation and see for myself....assuming they work at all, FA on emulation will have you unable to move or phasing through the ground for instance.
quality AC6 content again, I'm not only learning to polish my ACs but also having fun! and to be honest...my first two AC were silent line and last raven...even though I was amazed, I never finished them...I felt that AC would be great on PC...AC6 means a lot and I'm glad I found it so good content creator to learn about the history of this game.
Thanks, the series has such a rich history that I try to recapture some of that with my content. Knowing people are learning something and having fun is what makes it all worth it.
"6+2+1 = 9, Nineball it all makes sense now" -Dsaboss There's more than one Ibis series... surprised me a lot when I had to fight them. I still wait for Bloodborne 2 (or remastered). Is that bad? By completing AC1 to AC6, does that make me a veteran? Is it all connected? Hmm, the questions...
My first death was to ice worm. I was honestly pleased with the change to boss style. ACS buildup and stagger was interesting. Just reliving my Silent Line days to that point. But absolutely loved the experience. Haven’t stopped playing yet.
Should we tell them? I mean come on Verteran should know there are multiple paths. Also the thing with the trust issues, yeah I get that, i mean the corpos f*ck each other over since the first game and well NINEBALL and its "operator"... Armored Core is really a setting where humanity always is in a not so good place, nearly allways brought upon by its own greed... AC4A in my eyes is were shit really hit the fan. ACV and VD are trying to pick up the scraps (or at least I think with how the wrecks of AF Units and Craddles can be seen in the background at times)
I think the closest thing to humanity moving forward in these games was the attempt to terraform Mars in AC2, until Leos Klein took a page from Nineball's book that is.
I am an Armored Core veteran who is still waiting for Bloodborne 2 and also trust in Old King, he stood with me until I made the world a better place, just as I did in this game.
In my case i never played armored core, never played souls like, just got the game because i was curious. It wasnt even that hard, i struggled a bit but managed to get all the endings and reach A rank at pvp Edit: this game made me feel genuine joy in playing videogames again
@dsaBOSS What i liked The most about The game despite Its amazing gameplay was the lore and rubicon in Its self. Its so deep and well built. Felt really good to pay attention for a masterpiece of story
The helicopter boss. I mean I haven’t played ALL the armored core games but from 2 and up yea I have and when I got to the helicopter, took me 8 tries!!!! My brother, who never played armored core, beat him on the second try. I mean, I beat the game without much trouble but THAT DAMN HELICOPTER MAN!!!!! Hardest boss in all AC6
Took me a good few tries too but most of my Ch1 struggles were mainly from having to force out a lot of 3rd Gen muscle memory that just isn't applicable to how 6th works- even just decoupling the camera from movement is a huge shift from anything AC's normally done. Pre-rebalancing Balteus and Sea Spider just were not 'hard' for me but they weren't fun either- they were just overtuned slogs that went against the smoother difficulty curve Yamamoto said they wanted the game to have.
I remember someone (or some article/youtube title) said ACVI will be the dark souls of mecha game, oh boy the person might never try last raven before it seems
I remember that! When AC6 was first announced I couldn't believe how many sources were trying to paint it as mecha souls when they never played a single AC game before. It would obviously have some elements, but AC was never gonna be the same genre.
I was neither, I just watch people struggle, and then proceeded to show them how it was done... nah not really, but it was funny watching my friends expression when I beat balteus
I only ever played AC2 and the last time I did so was several years ago. I played the game and ngl I still found it uber easy. The most I struggled with was that one boss in depth 2 and the CATAPHRACT. Even so all I did was go full canon mode on their asses to keep 'em still. Beat em about on my 7th tries which is the most so I had to do for any mission. Even the ALLMIND, Arye, and Walter only took me 2-3 tries, but by then I simply got good at dodgin.
I played through all the endings before I ever touched MP. Playing it like an actual AC game instead of the bastardized hardlock version that everyone on a controller got had me creaming. Then I started MP and got my taste of "Press two buttons, remove all movement on the player's part, fire all four guns once in range" garbage that Yamamura gave us. Here's hoping the next game fixes all the bad game design from Souls that leaked into Armored Core.
TBH I find AC on AC fights more annoying in AC6, because the AI so obviously cheats. Inflated AP and damage, input reading, hitting shots I'm sure you'd never hit in PvP with how leading isn't perfect (but it sure is for them). They aren't HARD to beat if you just cheese. Even if you don't you can win by just being aggro as hell. But it never feels like you _outplay_ them.
Inflated AP and dmg? Ive never seen evidence that suggest that Input reading yeah a bit maybe, some are more noticeable but if you play into your builds strengths most AC fights are a lot less challenging than some would expect (without cheesing). Also there shouldnt be a network issue in Pve so what you see is what you get. So far Ive only had 1 ac fights which annoyed me and it was Coldcall. I dont why but I had to redo him a few times, but Id like to chalk that up to skill issue when I was doing S rank attempts
@@felixonline1825 Not suggesting "network issues", just the observation that even a fully locked FCS doesn't lead it's shots properly if someone's going fast enough in a straight line, especially anywhere past 200 meters, it's... certainly something. But for whatever reason AI ACs don't have that problem at all.
@@colbyboucher6391AI ACs always fight in their FCS parts' optimal range, so that's probably why their shots have insane accuracy in comparison Hp and damage isnt inflated at all, but they are definitely input reading And input reading means optimal QB timing, which also means optimal energy management. So that sucks
@@colbyboucher6391 I think part of that the Ai are better than us at strictly sticking to their optimal fcs range but I cant help but feel you might be somewhat correct on the shot leading feeling more in their favour in some cases. But the range part is a projectile speed problem sadly, you shouldnt actually be able to see the projectiles most of the time, bullets are way faster irl but for gameplay I kind of understand why its not the case. Weapons struggle on anything past 200m due to this
Pre-nerf and post-nerf balteus is night and day Pre-nerf, i feel like most of his attacks are dangerous. Mostly because of the missiles and attack frequency. even a lightweight build needs to be smart to dodge those, at least most of it (i tried this with nachtreiher frame, so i know). In the middle of that missile swarm whooshing past, clanking and exploding when they hit you, he shoots you with a beeping cannon that you may miss the audio cue on because of the missile sounds (took me 3 tries to actually realize the beeping sound is an indicator of him about to shoot, and not me getting hit). All this is also while he shoots you with gatlings and scattershots Post nerf, his damage is nerfed, his missile tracking is severely nerfed, and his attack frequency gets cut in half, so you just gotta dodge the beeping cannon and prepare to dodge the flamethrower. The missiles cant hit shit, his gatlings and scattershots cant track you and deal no damage. Edit: well, i reset my data once to see what the post-nerf experience is like (copied original save somewhere and overwrote it with new game so i dont have endgame gear and all that), but i've beaten the game in 1.0 and thus know most of the boss patterns, so that's going to skew my perceptions a bit, so take my opinion with a grain of salt
@@aze0012 It's really noticeable. Learning his weaknesses after the first encounter is a factor. After the nerf, Balteus and Radahn are sharing the same boat.
