Armored Core VI First Playthrough - Chapter 1

[@dexmerx3425]

Pure cinema 3:49:40 The timing of the music, voice, and attack was insane!

[@Warmaka]

3:23:00 For anyone new to the game: The reason his lock-on breaks is because he moves the camera. If you don't move the right stick, the lock-on will stick no matter how the enemy moves. Only distance and line of sight can break it and not easily.

[@samedwards3186]

Here's a (not-so) fun fact: G13 is open because it was going to be the callsign of the student pilot you killed. Fromsoft knows how to twist the knife!

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Several things to point out about Armored Core 6: - AC6 has a lot of replay value due to the decisions made throughout the campaign (that includes multiple endings), as well as the unlockables of New Game + and beyond! - For all newcomer Ravens, you DO NOT need to have played the previous AC games to get into this one, very similar on how Final Fantasy dev teams create its titles. - Plays different from Souls - same smooth, responsive controls. - Long range arsenal: bazookas, gatling guns, split missiles, plasma rifles and more. - Melee weaponry: Cluster bomb thrower, chainsaw, pulse blade, lances and more. - The movement speed is between AC3 and AC5 - There is a heavy on customization. - Tons of custom paint jobs and the posibility of downloading weapons for making decals. - Legs are one of the most important parts of your mech, because they determine how much weight your vehicle can carry. - Your power engine / energy source is on other one as it modifies the amount of energy available, as well as how slow or fast your energy bar will recharge, when its depleted.

[@tb4076]

One thing many people might miss is the fact that you can sell back parts for 100% of what you paid for them. This makes experimenting so much easier and more encouraged. Lmao right when i typed this, lobos mentions it in the vid.

[@supremecai5857]

'smooth responsive controls' lmaooo

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Yeah that too!@@tb4076

[@erichdegurechaff9515]

Gatling long range? It is 130 meters, which is close range. Long range is 260+ meters

[@Bones_]

The first thing I did was swap left and right face buttons (square and circle) so that dodge would be circle like my reflexes are used to. Made it so much more natural Edit: Just updating that this works even better because having boost mode on Square/right face button means it's also a very easy action to hit jump and boost at the same time with my thumb because jumping alone when you're not already in boost mode is not nearly as effective as with boost mode, so by hitting both at the same time I can always get optimal jump mobility.

[@haruthefrog]

I did that as well, but then I realised the dodge on square feels more natural to press with your thumb while using X to jump/fly up. I takes a short while to get used to though, for sure

[@maxwortel8986]

I might just borrow that Idea

[@irockmajorly]

Its better with square because its closer to the right analog. Its mapped to square so you can have camera control without dashing your thumb over to circle.

[@Bones_]

@@irockmajorly I understand your reasoning, but the muscle memory second guessing from dodge being on another button from what I'm used to from most games I play really effects my reaction time more than just having to reach a little further. Which is why playing Tears of the Kingdom results in my constantly doing the wrong actions in a tense moment where I act on reflex.

[@mr.e2643]

This messes me up so much, alot of games have X as dodge, and then ds2 is X to interact where elden ring is ^(triangle). The best system for me is KH where tap or hold is roll or slide

[@DMXIII]

I was wanting so much for this gameplay! Thank you Lobos!!!!

Lmao you're not alone man, I think I was stuck with Balteus for like 2 hours or something :D Even Asmongold bonked him in just a few tries..

[@ThePhysicalReaction]

I think this game is great. I love the mercenaries format with mech upgrades and missions. Other mech games are often 1st person and much more slower paced combat, which I don't like. Good to see you again LobosJr. First souls streamer I ever watched.

@@thewretch4081 you will have to change it for one fight putting on the stinger shot to break a shield on a boss, other then that it’s going to be a challenge. Hell I want to see all missions default ac s rank.

[@nathanmeaney2305]

This game is nasty difficult to first time players like myself. Very much a "git gud" game. But goddamn I can't get enough.

[@Direwolf13PS3]

The Tutorial boss is pretty tough given your starting mech is made of tinfoil, at the same time the game is extremely forgiving on retries, i.e. getting fully repaired and re-armed. I've gotten through my first playthrough a few hours ago. Heading right back in for NG+, and then NG++.

[@alenezi989a3]

You finished the entire game in one day? Is it less than 20 hours or what? Did actually spend 20 hpurs straight hours playing non stop?

[@colbyboucher6391]

​@@alenezi989a3AC has never been a game with a super long initial play time. Everything moves too quick for it to last very long. 3/4ths of the game is optimizing what you've already played and PvP.

[@lux_1742]

​@@alenezi989a3Most say 1st playthrough just gameplay including bosses is 16-20+ hours. New content continues with NG+ and NG++. Customizing, PvP, S rank, and hidden partd will most likely add quite a few more hours on top to experience everything for the first time. Also yeah believable to beat it for the 1 time in a day if you speed through it and don't hit a wall with a boss. Sorry for the monologue.

[@ix8750]

yeah sadly like people are saying it isnt a long single player experience. its meant to be replayed for gameplay sake. Im currently on pvp and S ranking missions for fun after doing NG++ and unlocking everything, including my pvp time and mech cuztomizing Ive played around 75 hours.

[@titanmaker4348]

I feel like I did something so wrong it ended up working amazing, because I absolutely smoked that dude. One shot, never seen before. Grenade launcher on the left arm, starter gun on the right, plasma missiles on both shoulders and mid heavy build. Every time grenades came up, hit it. Held the auto fire on the gun and launched missiles every chance. Killed with all 3 health packs left over and barely ever came out of the stun.

[@colbyboucher6391]

That's... a pretty interesting callback. You know BattleTech is a whole franchise that's been around since the 80s, right? The MechWarrior games are also BattleTech. Primarily a tabletop game. It and Armored Core are, like, complete opposite ends of the mech spectrum.

[@riemaennchen]

Man this game is FUN!

[@footballfan5048]

This game will frustrate people that skip the tutorial and button mash the game. Dark souls and Elden ring can still be button mashed but not this. It needs to be played with a brain turned on and aware of the rythms for it to be enjoyable where the player will see progress. Also it needs planning as well in the garage to build an effective mech. So people that doesn't like to analyze will find this game hard.

Bro thats so weird i had different missions in the order you just went . When you were taking out the choppers my mission was to take out turrets

[@undeadrouge2909]

What the game play has showed me from watching this person the fact that after that one mission I was never given access to all the other parts that I can buy with the AC itself, and most likely is a bug of some kind, which is really annoying, considering the previous days, I’ve been scrambling to get parts so I can deal with the end of the 1st Chapter boss and I have been very close, but clearly lack the parts needed. This is beyond frustrating, realizing I’ve wasted a lot of time because of a bug that was completely out of my control.

It's so funny how some people are struggling this hard while others refunded it for being too easy. You were just playing wrong.
