I wonder how you feel about AC6. Do you believe it retained the essence of series? I see alot veterans either loving or hating the game. Also i hope we get some sort of port/remaster/remake for gen 4. I want to become speed incarnate.
@CinnamonLyn Ай бұрын
It’s complicated, cause while I like it quite a bit, it wasn’t for the gameplay depth. Its focus on encounter design, restricted engagement ranges and swingy combat didn’t elevate anything for me. However! I didn’t get all endings, and I want to reapproach it on its own terms, because both sides of the discussion have a ton of merit but it’s tends to devolve into a lot of toxic arguments online and I want to avoid that. And who knows! I turned around on AC V big time, so I’m hopeful! Armored Core can be a multitude of different things, it doesn’t have to stick to the same ideals every time if From wants to make something else Also yeah the availability of old AC is so dire right now, I’m hoping for the best but they don’t tend to rerelease their old titles very often. Eternal Ring is on PS4 but like that’s it lmao

@@CinnamonLyn Lyn, the final boss of the secret ending is one of the funniest things ive seen. I LOVED IT. You need to see It. Also My favorite criticism is that there isnt enough of It.

Ah, here I am after a day or two of binge watching your AC vids. The gen that got me into AC - more specifically, the immaculate game that is *For Answer.* Saw your earlier vids on AC, subbed due to the depth and my own interest in the history of the franchise before FA (I admit I’ve only played FA and 6, but I plan to emulate 5 and Verdict Day, as well as 4), and I’ve been eager to see this one. Very, very eager. Let’s rock it, Lynx!

I regret watching this video. Not because the video is bad (I absolutely loved the video btw), its because I wanted to experienced those piece of arts myself. After I finished Elden ring and Sekiro, I was craving for more content out of fromsoftware and I found this music video of 20th anniversary "mechanized memories" remix which included a lot of scenes from intro armored core 4 answer. The music wasn't my taste but those cinematics absolutely got me into armored core series for me. I recently finished playing armored core 6 and it was spectacular as it held many lores and enjoyable characters but it wasn't what i was looking for. I recently found out the intro mech was legendary NEXT white glint from ac4a. I started digging more infos about ac4a, eventually I ended up with this video and it was amazing. I got so hooked into the video when I saw the transition from the movie to the title screen with the music "Someone is Always Moving on the Surface" and the white glint glares at me from the shadow. Now its one of my favorite game title screen of all time no doubt. Unconsciously my brain was listening to the whole lore of the game. I was absolutely enjoying the video until I found out that game is still playable in Emulators and my dumbass didn't even knew those stuff existed.😭 Hey atleast I know I can get to try the legendary game myself now Thanks dude

Thank you so much for the kind of words! The entire series can be emulated, there are plenty of good games to try out if you want to play them! While I think For Answer is the best one, some old gen games and Verdict Day are also amazing titles! So give them a shot if you wanna c:

Great video man, 4 gen really has the best worldbuilding of the series for me it's really interesting to see how corporations are the big focus instead of AI, and I really hope FROM explores this in different ways in future games of the franchise it helps to give a different flavor to the lore of the game. Now about the narrative of the games I think this leaves a lot to be desired for both 4 and 4A, many of the criticisms you made about 4 in the video regarding the story fit perfectly with 4A in my opinion (even though 4A did have a significant improvement). Regarding your video, I have a few thoughts on your interpretations of the endings of 4A, for me the two endings “League” and “ORCA” have more nuances than simply being the good ending and the bad ending, during the League ending the dilemma that Wynne poses is not about maintaining the status quo and the power of corporations but about saving lives of people who are here in the present, this for me is the great contrast with the ORCA ending, no matter how noble ORCA ideals are, their execution has a very high price to pay, if the Closed Plan is realized millions of lives will be sacrificed, but of course it will be to guarantee a better future but in the end you are still killing millions of innocent lives, and this is what Wynne questions Otsdarva when he says “These cowardly ideals. .. they will cause the downfall of humanity!” and she replies: ”Humanity? I don't see humanity anywhere, Otsdarva.” How do you want to save humanity if you're killing it in the process? Where's the humanity in that? People in the future should have the right to have a life, but shouldn't people who are living in the present also have that right? I'm not saying that the League ending is a better path, no matter how noble Wynne's intentions are, she will maintain a system that is insufficient and that in the end will condemn the very future of humanity. For me, the contrast of choices and their consequences are unfortunately quite tragic. Now leaving this moral dilemma behind there is another very complicated factor about these endings, during the video you comment that the League ending is the “corporate ending” since in the end no matter how noble Wynne's actions are she ends up leaving those who caused all this trouble still in power, but isn't the ORCA ending the same at the end of the day? The ones who will benefit most from the Closed Plan are Omer Science, there is evidence that they have been using ORCA from the beginning by making them do all the dirty work for them to carry out the Closed Plan, since the blame for killing millions of people to carry out the plan falls entirely on ORCA, Of course, in the end we can say that the ideas of saving humanity are still there, but just as in the League ending with the Wynne actions, the ORCA ending will end up benefiting the corporations since Omer just wanted someone to pull the trigger and open the door to a new frontier for them. For me, the ORCA ending is still the best way forward, but it's very clear for me that regardless of the two endings, we're just being used by corporations to fulfill their ambitions...

Thank you for the detailed comment! I view the Orca ending to not necessarily in orcas favor, cause I viewed their ultimate goal as eradicating all possible unknown variables, like in 4, while also creating an environment that would allow regular people to be more dependent on them via all of the destabilization and destruction, as well as spurring economic growth. The Orca endings consequences are really dire as well, but it’s ultimately the fault of corporations and their incessant need to have ultimate control and to wage war. The people in the Cradles are doomed in every ending, but at the same time that doesn’t necessarily mean that they deserve death, it’s still tough to make that decision. It’s a complex and bleak situation to be sure

Since you didn't mention it in the video, here's a super cool detail that you might not know about: for the longest time I thought the Assault Cells were just a plot device mentioned in the narrative, which was fine and all, until I read that they are actually in the game and you can even see them! In all three missions on the Cradles (Take Back Cradle 21, and Defend/Destroy Cradle 03), if you start flying high up into the sky, eventually you'll start seeing the Assault Cells and they'll even begin firing, illuminating the sky with their lasers while Sumika comments on it! It's such a beautiful detail that pretty much everyone will just miss, but it's so amazing that it's actually in the game. Oh, and another thing - yesterday the RPCS3 emulator was updated with full compatibility with their emulated version of the PSN, and both AC4 and For Answer are fully playable online through that! Yesterday I went in a co-op mission in 4A with a friend of mine and it worked flawlessly, it's incredible what people managed to achieve on that emulator! :D

@hachibowl1023 3 ай бұрын
I think FA comes off as cynical enough to where I understand that sentiment. When you consider that ORCA in some way was compromised by Omer, which by far is the most sinister corporation to date it doesnt paint nessicarily a bright future. Orca also comes off as a bit hypocritical getting on old kings case when their plan will likely kill tens of millions while not nessicarily getting their hands dirty. These reasons are why Old King rebukes them in the final mission when he asks why they deserve to "choose who lives or who dies." In that sense it's a more nuanced version of Nexus' ending. In where unlike in its conclusion you're not being strung along. Doomed to follow the money trail to your death and causing a massive catastrophe beyond your imagination. You have actual agency and refuse corporations like Omer the chance to potentially poison whatever the future might hold. Though with that said I think this describes the grip I have with FA endings in that while each route does a solid job at painting a broader picture of FA's near un salvageable world, they're almost all so bleak (outside of Orca ending kinda) in retrospect that it's hard for care for what they embody ideologically. Which is one thing I think ACVI definitely improves on in my opinion
