Armored Core 3

[Anonymous No.9911687]

Just beat Armored Core 3 and didn't really enjoy it as much as the previous installments.
It has worst and least inspired arena maps than any of its predecessors and also easier than most of the others as well.
I did really like all the part additions, all the unique extensions and left handed weapons expanded on was really great, they fucked up giving me a left handed cannon

I really like the look and feel of gen 1 the most.
I would rank the games
Project Phantasma>AC2>AC2:AA>AC3>ACMoA>AC1

This series goes to shit after Master of Arena. I wouldn't bother playing the rest of them outside of maybe AC2.

Following Leos Klein up a space elevator after he trolled the entire solar system is when the story peaked, outside of having your waifu in Project Phantasma of course!

[Anonymous No.9911849]

If it wasn't for Dark Souls you would've never known this series exist, let alone pretend to like it.

I'm glad Dark Souls exists to boost awareness for an actually good series then.

>>9911849
Anyone old enough to post on this board can remember the constant shovelware before Souls ever came out, I really enjoy these games.
You're right I probably would have never checked them out if not for Souls, however I am very glad I did.
I beat 6 games in the series so far, and love them all, I have never played anything like them in my entire life.
I love everything about these unique gems

AC3 is the worst 3rd gen game. you will probably like silent line, nexus, and last raven.

Play the other 3rd gen games though

Been there. done that
>>9913194
Despite enjoying the gameplay of gen 1 the most, AC1 lacks an arena and is overall pretty easy, ACMoA has shit, barebones missions and an insanely impossible ex arena.
Project Phantasma seemed to strike the perfect balance between great missions/story and a challenging arena

it was HEAVILY shilled in magazines all the time.
Especially Tips & Tricks, for years, with AC builds contributed by readers & editors.

Give them a break. Not only do they have to subsist on slop, they're so hopped up on dopamine they can't sit still for more than five minutes.

[Anonymous No.9914493]

>>9911804
To me, the best moments are:
- Seraph in Master of Arena.
- disco lasers in Project Phantasma.
- 3 vs 1 fight in AC2: Another Age, slowdown and all
- final battle in Nexus.
- in Silent Line, when you reach the downed plane that was shot down in the intro. I don't know why, but I stood over the crater for a good minute, thinking how far I've gotten. And it's entirely optional!
- in Last Raven, when you just went down into a base, stopped a meltdown, fought another AC in the way out, and your operator calls you to tell there' s a Pulverizer right at the entrance. I wanted to cry.

I sped that webm up in Webm4Retards, but when I view this webM on mobile its back to slow motion spinning, but remains fast when viewed on desktop. Extremely strange.

I agree about MoA and PP, but I found the latter way too short to be enjoyable. It's a shame because you can notice that they started to get the hang of bigger missions with PP and they threw it all down the shitter in MoA, some of the encounters are infuriating. 1 feels more complete to me.

[Anonymous No.9915982]

Note how everyone shitting on MoA are also admitting that it's a skill issue.

[Anonymous No.9916000]

>>9911849
I did play it because of Demon's Souls but AC1 is genuinely one of my favorite games

No I think every anon is brought up the barebones missions compared to PP

[Anonymous No.9916870]

>>9912258
Nexus is absolute dogshit. 3s only crimes are rebalancing of heat and being a bit too easy.
>>9916387
Whatever MoA lacked with missions it more than made up for with Ex Arena. Champion ladder was a true test of skill.

[Anonymous No.9916926]

Finally 100%:d AC2 and Another Age on hard mode

[Anonymous No.9917712]

very cool anon
I really loved the large, industrial arena maps in AC2.
Mathias might be my favorite arena match in the series

I can't imagine getting through some of Another Age missions without the dual-back multi missiles

Literally me. Love those legs. I usually only used one back missile launcher and had the extra ammo thing to get a few more shots out of the karasawa.
