It's Critter Time!

I was considering doing up a big elaborate megathread OP, but honestly I just wanna talk about big robot. Maybe I'll do a fancier OP later if inspiration strikes

All gens welcome here. The latest generation (6) is Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, available on Steam, PS and Xbox. I'd be down for PVP if anyone else here plays on Steam

Post your robots

Oh this is totally motivating me to redownload it :3ccc

Loved making my cores all fancy and themed after ocs when 6 came out.

Huh... for some reason, I sort of expected an AC thread at some point. I feel like there's an overlap between furries into old tech and furries into AC.

That reminds me, I've been meaning to give Armored Core 3 a shot again! I was thrown off by the controls when I first played it a few years back, but now I think I could manage. Any tips for a newbie?

The most important fundamental to master in oldgen is bunnyhopping - short boost followed by a jump while strafing, repeatedly, to maintain speed as long as possible while managing your energy. If you stagger/do a hard landing and get stunned at the wrong time, you're toast

One of my gaming Feats of Strength was beating Armored Core 1 with this piece of trash, because I happened to have a collection of weird controllers at the time.



It probably set me several years forward towards having carpal tunnel syndrome.

other AC posters: haha armored core reverse claw grip

mixi: hold my coral

I want to try a control scheme like this so badly

Really get deep into the immersion

I wanted to get into 6, but sadly the game is incompatible with the Steam Deck.
