Armored Core V

[Angelblaze]

Been planning to buy it since 2.

And you guys are just finding out about it now? I knew about it way before you guys did *hipster kitty*

Wow, you get to customize your own mecha? I need to give this series a try!

Never played an Armoured Core game, but it looks liek loads of fun, so yeah, I'm getting it.

I love Armoured Core, haven't been as impressed with the newer games but I have high hopes this one will turn out good. I remember seeing something a while back where the MP featured a Commander role and basically watched a satellite feed? Does anyone know if that's still implemented in the game? It looked pretty interesting.

I believe the multiplayer is 5v5. It's actully 4v4 as each team has one player take the role of a "operator". Essentially they look at that satalite map and give directions to other players, I haven't done too much research but aside from giving directions and relaying info they can also send feeds to players letting them know what kind of weapons the enemy is using if they sight them long enough to scan them.

I believe they can also place defenses, use jamming missles and some other things like that. It looks really cool.

Do it, it is actually loads of fun trying to tweak you mech to the point that it can go through the entire story without dying, which usually means you have to unlock everything first

OK, I've been watching two minutes of gameplay footage on YouTube, and the player just equipped his mecha with something that basically looks like a very big fist made of chainsaws. I was planning to replay Steambot Chronicles again, but now it seems I'll have to try this instead!

Thanks for the tip!

Got I reserved for PS3. Played For Answer but it would lag if I used the Interior Union nexts. Hopefully this one doesn't lag as bad. Also picking up RE: Operation Raccoon City as well.

Really? I use a Tellus core in FA and I haven't had any problems, in fact I basically have unlimited EN with the Flight enabled boosters on and a heavy generator in 120 and 140.

Yea I don't know. Maybe a messed up disk or something

Outta money... *sigh* another game for the backlog list

You would think in a gaming culture so hjead-over-heels with online FPSs and TPSs like Cawadoody and Gears of War, a game with giant customizable robots shooting at each other would get more attention...

Honestly, I blame the difficulty curve... and the lack of a $100M marketing budget.

 

[CrashBang]

This exists?!
Wow, um, yes. Yes, I'll be getting it. Thank you.

 

[kouriichi]

I may see about renting it. I was a fan of AC a loooong time ago.
And if i really enjoy it, a purchase will probably follow.

I wasnt sure if it was this month or not though. So thanks for bringing this to my attention! And may your rockets find their targets

Learning curve as well. It took me awhile to learn how to properly build and tune a mech that would be Multiplayer worthy. Some people don't want to take the time to do all that, they like being handed their gear and sent out to play and that's great and all, but there is a certain satisfaction you get when you finally make a kick ass mech from scratch.

Marketing plays a factor as well, but I really don't mind having a small community. In ACFA the people were friendly and eager to help you out if you were new to the franchise.

Hope to see you on the battlefield then! Cheers!

warrior orochi 3 ninja giaden 3 and this which one should i get why must 3 games i want come out on the same day.
i've played since 4 and/or where ever for answer falls.

 

[GundamSentinel]

I don't think I'll get it on release, but I will get it eventually. Will it even be released here? I haven't a clue. Loved AC4 and FA, so I must have it. Off to the laboratory to do some ACV research!

 

[Erttheking]

I played the demo for the fourth game and I noticed that there was a multiplayer for this one. I'll give it a look. I like FPSs but frankly I could use a change of scenery, and flying around in a giant unstoppable mech has a certain appeal to it.
