Trying to S-rank random missions in Armoured Core 6 is made infinitely funnier by considering the music I'm currently listening to as being diagetic.

You're G5 Iguazu, desperately trying to kill this random freelancer dipshit so you can finally escape this nightmarish government maze, and they scoot onto the scene, Yakuza 0 karaoke tracks blaring in their cockpit so loudly you can hear it, and proceeds to fucking shred you in under a minute with enough rockets to make god cry.

i still can't get over the fact that Warframe had a bunch of continuity problems and timeline plotholes and they fixed all of them by just. decanonizing linear time

I know nothing about Armored Core so forgive me if I talk out of my ass for a second here, but can you mix and match weapons? If so, is it possible automatic weapons are meant more to finish off staggering an enemy rather than staggering them entirely on their own? Like you blow them away with your shotgun and staggering them 50% and you get the rest of it with your machine gun? Just my thoughts after reading your posts.

Oh you definitely can, the problem is just. You can also do that by just using a second shotgun in your other hand. Or a melee, or a grenade launcher, or missiles, and so on and so forth. The game is built around using a variety of weapons in combination with each other to exploit your enemies' weakness and adapt to different situations, and the problem is that there are very few if any parts where a full auto weapon is your best tool because other weapons just outperform them in almost every way. And when you gotta pay for your ammo, the shotgun that fires $200 instant death cartridges is way more efficient than the gatling gun that throws away $400 per second in rounds that bounce off at medium range.

I personally used a melee + gatling in my hands and cannons + missile pod on my back for most of my first run and got tremendously frustrated against highly mobile targets or enemies with high stagger because of the weakness of full auto weapons. Once I switched to a strong shotgun all the issues I was having went away and fights that previously challenged me were much easier.

God I love how much personality there is to the characters in Armored Core 6, like with a lot of the dialogue memes people do, you can immeditaly tell who's saying it just by what they refer to 621 as alone

you should be able to fix most of the texture issues by enabling "Write Color Buffers" in the RPCS3 game configuration

decided to go ahead and play ac4 on rpcs3 because despite texture issues it runs fantastically and wow this game rules so fucking good

I think my dream career would be lying under the reactor of a spaceship and rapidly splicing cables with my teeth while we're narrowly escaping a pirate's harpoon by juicing the engine so hard we rip the launcher out of the other ship's frame but I don't think that exists yet so I have to settle for esoteric wizard languages that make light and sound. also there would be a greasy girl there with me who's the ship's munitions expert and she teaches me more about the guns on the ship and I convince her to stick her hand into the shield generator. she's mostly there for tumblr notes but we're in love regardless

The inherent homoeroticism of gaining someone’s trust enough for them to allow you to share not only their most painful memory but also their body and then use their body to kill the guy who killed their son
