Hey guys... and gal. I know this is a FE site and so magic and swords and fantasy reign supreme. I just wanted to know if anyone plays any of the Armored Core games. For people who want to get an idea of what the game is, here is a user video with clips from the AC4 trailers put to a Japanese song that fits giant robot stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb8benJiYDs (note the singer annoys me in some parts. ;D) For those who havn't played the games, the Armored Core series is a Sci-Fi giant robot game in which you play as a mercenary known as a Raven. You pilot a state of the art mobile weapon known as an Armored Core or AC. You take on missions and earn money based on your performance and with your earnings you buy new weapons and parts for your AC. What I like about the AC series is that the fights are fast paced. Your AC is equipped with boosters that can make your AC wicked fast, and it's awsome barely dodging swarms of missiles launched from an enemy AC.

Giant robots, swappable parts... I doubt I will play it. Too much like a few other games that were pretty bad.

*Tosses Pebble at Jake* If ya like big explosions, fast-paced action, missiles, laserguns, rapid-fire gunnery... and giant robots... AC is a good game, then again, you -Can- play it Melee only VS a friend. <.<
Armored Core is a game serie which lies close to my heart, I am quite fond of the fun it have given me, but due to the lack of awesometastic gamers living near me, I haven't been able to play it much other than Single play, which sucks. <_<
I either build up a heavy, over-armored AC with rapid fire weaponry and some missiles...
or...
Do a small, relatively Lightweight and "Speedy" AC, having nothing but Missiles. <.< I want things to go boom...
Tried making a site once, with Stats and such, alittle based on Armored Core but in another way... >.> Lack of interest made it die though. xP

Love the series. I get a thrill from playing it, but it keeps a sense of realism about it since your machine has to absorb shock from long falls and stuff. My favorite thing about the game is being in mid-air and several enemy units fire off there own volleys of missiles. And using your boosters you strafe past the attack, individually dodging all the missiles and when you get past them, you fire off all your missiles at the baddies. It makes me smile everytime I do it. Oh by the way Flare. If you intend to buy the games, be aware that the difficulty shoots up at the end of the games. Normally the final levels are CRAZY hard. And dont even get me started talking how hard AC: Last Raven is. But don't get me wrong, if you're interested, BUY THE GAMES!! They are a lot of fun if you are in to customizable death machines. And if you get stuck, you can easily find people on the Intarwebs who have spent hours upon hours finding the perfect AC combo for specific missions. (I've had to use those guides a few times myself >.> <.< IM SORRY!!) Oh, also you might want to know that the stories in AC are more political than anything, so dont expect a mountain of characters and intricate relationships (besides you're a merc, you dont have time for all that stuff! ). AC4 is the only AC series I know that has a more indepth story, though I only know this from what I've read, since I don't have a 360 or PS3 to get it.
