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.

[@shingshongshamalama]

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.

[@watch.v-dQw4w9WgXcQ]

​@@shingshongshamalama But AC4/FA has the easiest controls and gameplay.

[@donovangrant424]

@@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.

[@MrCreepjo]

​@@shingshongshamalamait's one of the more easier AC game in fact VD and V is much more harder.

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.

Armored Core from Josh Strife Plays - The Armored Core series - A Newcomer's Journey by Writing for Games - Armored Core Retrospective (The history of FromSoftware) by Aesir Aesthetics - The most recent video by Vaati Vidya about AC

One of my favorite games. And my favorite Vtuber. Her excitement for mechs is wonderful. Thank you so much for the translations

[@lc9245]

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.

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

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
