I haven't played any of the games since the PS2 titles, and had the same experience, probably with more debt. I'm not surprised to hear From Software hasn't tried to make the series more casual friendly, that's never been their priority.
I'm just gonna believe that while on mission's she has the radio on the whole time and the enemies have to listen to her screaming and philosophising about needing money and being broke.
I love Subaru's openness to trying out unfamiliar games from beloved old franchises. Especially when she knows it will probably go terribly, but does it anyway without question, when most would probably be too apprehensive to try streaming it.
Honestly, she picked by far the hardest game in a very difficult to learn series of games, and it stomped her into the floor. To true AC fans, that's not insulting, that's relatable.
@@shingshongshamalama The only Armored Core easier than ACFA is AC3, and ACFA has far more accessible controls. Even AC4 is more punishing (unless you just use Grenade Cannon spam and then nothing is challenging) That being said, to someone completely unfamiliar with the franchise, any entry will be challenging as their first game. At least she didn't start with LR and get mauled by the "wrong" first stage pick.
If I ever got the fund and ordered to build either a Gundam, Eva, or Metal Gears. I'll build White Glint regardless the order lol. Firing squad will be damned, I'll die with smile.

If Armored Core: For Answer got its own live-action movie with today’s CGI then I would be so god damn hyped to go see it! (As if Hollywood would actually take the Time, Effort and Money out of their lives to make this movie a masterpiece…)
5:20 Reminds me of Saber and Shirou in Carnival Phantasm where they use all their money to win the race xD Awww this reminds me when Subaru talked about her struggling when she just joined Hololive. Feels like watching anime of Subaru's past 🤣
Yeah, except the problem is she isnt using her money properly lmao Spamming Missiles and not learning the Boost in someones first Armored Core Game is not reccomended
No idea what Armored Core is about , so I thought what I'd do is check out this clip for a few moments. ...and that's how they get you. I watched the whole thing. Dangit Peko Mains...
Basically the main Fromsoft IP when they are used to be called "Mecha Game Company" like Metal Wolf Chaos before they transition to Souls Armored Core is a Mission styled Game where you just get money from.the highest bidder and build your mechs to your liking Its very easy trying to figure out which gameplay style suit your Mech Build, just remember losing Health and Wasting Ammo is not reccomended soo you have to learn the Boost mechanic really fast and its different in every Armored Core Generation In Gen 1 to Gen 3 you do Bunny hopping, in Gen 4 you do Chain Boosting, and in Gen 5 you do Wall Jumping Also Armored Core 6 is coming out this year
As a Machine Gun Enthusiast, yes silent line almost impossible for me (DEBT because of prolonged use of MG) if it not for the ARENA is easier than AC3 Arena
This right here is why I think one day we will invent mechs. Are they the most practical? No. But this is the sort of emotions they evoke in people. We'll make it work.
While FA and 4 with simpler, more intuitive control and fast gameplay makes for friendlier entries to the series, I also feel that FromSoft not including in the tutorial that holding down the trigger will vary boost level for hovering and not teaching player that quick boosting while turning only will execute a quick turn, let alone stage boosting makes it trickier than necessary for new players. Still, I have to admit that fun little mechanics like that as well as fine tuning the mech makes AC such a joy to play. Especially in PvP.
man, seeing shuba pick this up and with the new one coming out, I need to dig my AC games back out again. Still haven't found any mech game I would consider to be as well done.
If you have a PC with a strong AMD iGPU (As far as we know), or some kind of dedicated GPU Head on over to the Armored Core Discord and get the 4thgen pack, or just FA if you know how to setup RPCS3 (Would save you many GB of data) The 4thgen pack has AC4 and ACFA already set up and ready to go in RPCS3 RPCS3 is a PS3 emulator Oh and the community has people maintaining a server that people connect to over radmin VPN to play multiplayer together over LAN on 4thgen They essentially pretend they are on the same network to play LAN matches together, COOP from FA does not work though, it's a different sort of thing sadly
Ah, my first Armored Core. Couldn't fully grasp all the info screens in the garage, so I somehow finished the game with an overloaded Aaliyah (once I got dual miniguns, I never wanted to take them off). Good times.
And this is why you go either Omer Science (energy) or with the Independent/Anjou (Hi-Speed Melee) choices, for the frugal merc. You either fail or make bank. Like they say in Battletech: "Meat is cheap, save the metal."
Yeah, Lancel and Aaliyah are the 2 best starting NEXT Lancel especially is the beginner friendly NEXT, while Aaliyah is if you want to start FA with the fastest NEXT
Expect a lot of JP Streamers play the game, Armored Core is MASSIVE there The sole reason why Nexus was weirdly balanced the way it is alongside Gen 5 Armored Core being Multiplayer was in Japan theres an ACTUAL Armored Core Esports competition, the largest Fromsoft IP till this day over there

- Armored Core Retrospective (The history of FromSoftware) by Aesir Aesthetics
- The most recent video by Vaati Vidya about AC
I wouldnt reccomend Vaati honestly
FightinCowboy, Jeenine, and Above Average are better at the same area Vaati is doing
Looking this mission I can't help but feel I found the inspiration for the run up to the Hydra from DS1
A lot of Souls stuff are from Armored Core
ESPECIALLY Elden Ring, theres straight up a Motherwill in it alongside Micro Missiles as Spells
Dark Souls was actually the Armored Core of dark fantasy games all along
Good ol' Armored Core, I remember usually opting for the Laser Rifles, Pulse Cannons, etc to avoid ammunition fees on missions
Also always going in for the melee whenever possible to save on bullets.
Does this still work in Gen 4?
@@OCTO358 yep. Melee and pa bombing will clear alot enemy's

They essentially pretend they are on the same network to play LAN matches together, COOP from FA does not work though, it's a different sort of thing sadly
How bad is it? That game was bargain bin for a decade, literally never saw it more than 20$ - did the AC6 reveal explode it's price?
