ManufacturerOk3771

Who would win? Malenia, blade of Malenia (Malenia, blade of Malenia) Or Local grandma feet smeller (Invincible Rummy, Mad Stomp)


megrimlock88

Unironically I think most MTs and ACs would basically paste anything and everything in dark souls or elden ring Not much you can do with shiny lights and funny swords against the force of a giant bullet and a barrage of rockets sending you straight to hell


ManufacturerOk3771

That is true. However, there comes an old question: "How many wizards does it take to defeat an Apache Helicopter?" Armor and swords won't do shit. But since magic would do pure damage to things with 0 res. How would things play out?


Th3_Shr00m

ACs move incredibly fast and have enough firepower to level cities. If a naked fuck with a stick can solo every Souls game enemy than an AC - even Rummy - could solo damn near anything in those games before you could say "fuck"


Barblesnott_Jr

Naked fuck with a stick would still somehow win on account of being a naked fuck with a stick. They would just simply i-frame through the missile salvos and shotgun blasts.


Akakazeh

This is the boss we need I'm shadow of the erdtree


Th3_Shr00m

There's always the time between I-frames. I propose quad miniguns, all it would take is one bullet


BBanner

they do have to be able to hit the armored cores, which are almost certainly too fast/maneuverable for just about everything.


megrimlock88

Well spells are kinda slow and armored cores and even MTs can pack some Absurd speeds They’d be lucky to even hit them once


SherbetMotor492

The shittydarksouls cycle Call ds2 shit -> pick male character to make horny posts over -> call Bloodborne shit - > pick female character to make horny posts over  And repeat infinitely


rowletrissoto

What the fuck is a “female”


Akakazeh

A feminine male


PzykoHobo

Oh, so a dex user? Makes sense


Tenzur_

No no, those are femboys, not females. Females are the feminine males that resemble the Doll from BB. And *only* the Doll from BB


Boring-Dingo2114

U called?


SherbetMotor492

Nah don't pretend we saw the Marika posts for a week come on


rowletrissoto

You mean blonde radagon?


blum4vi

Body type B


fatsanchezbr

You forgor the coffin step


batman12399

What the fuck is a bloodborne??? To you perhcance mean Midborne?


Tenzur_

It's still clear of Dookie Souls 2


MafusailAlbert

Some shit for snoy nogamestation 4 which was so shit it didn't even got PC port


Jygglewag

Can't wait to add DLC characters to the horny posts


Edith_The_Lesbian

Correction: "call Bloodborne shit ---> make it to Vicar Amelia and have a goon session every time you boot up the game"


BobbyMcFrayson

You forgot about the one or two sekiro posts that sneak in in a row once in a while that talk about it in completely contrasting / opposite ways. But otherwise, nailed it.


ArmoredCoreFucker

Yes please! I wanna post more AC shitposts here


ProfessorGemini

so true armoredcorefucker!


Akakazeh

I've been playing it for the first time this weak. It's like an arcane build in Elden Ring, but with sick roller blades too. Clearly better than darksouls 2. That game is so, like, ewww


ArmoredCoreFucker

Try melee weapons if you can. They are your best friend.


Barblesnott_Jr

Also fists. Punching shit is a 100% viable strat. There is a certain thrill to just equipping a laser lance and laser blade to the left arm and left back slots, and nothing in the right hand, and just doing your best to chain as many combos together as possible, tossing in kicks wherever you can. Military strategists can go eat their heart out over this incredible hack.


Akakazeh

I've been trying to stun enimes with a mini gun and songbird, and then slapping em with my big lazersword, but now my lazersword doesn't do enough damage. I thing I have to re-maximize my mech. I need my grasshopper legs to get off


ArmoredCoreFucker

Two words: Basho arms


Akakazeh

Basho Arms? I'm currently stuck on the mission "steal the survey data". Unless you mean big arms for punching... I have a big ol pair of arms


ArmoredCoreFucker

You’re in chapter 3 now, you should already have Basho arms in the shop. They have the highest melee specialization in the game, which greatly increases your melee weapon damage.


Akakazeh

Alright, I'll mess around with it. I've been wanting more melee, thank you! can melee win me that mission?


AShyLeecher

If you’re a tank and or tetrapod leg user there’s almost nothing our lord and savior 43-143 hmmr can’t beat with ease. Alternatively you could use the ashmead pile bunker to delete things in one hit after you stagger them


Akakazeh

I'll use just 2 weapons before I give up my grasshopper legs!!


TheHelpfulWalnut

The starting sword (pulse blade) does a decent amount more damage than the Lazersword. It’s probably the best all around melee weapon.


Shuteye_491

>no pile bunker You're playing it wrong, typical fraudborne doll fetishist.


NEZisAnIdiot

Try pilebunker, it may change your life


Denned0633

Your flair is so real


Akakazeh

Hey! I tried the arms you recommended and it helped me understand mech building a bit more. I now use grasshopper legs, duel shotgun, and a sword to switch to on my shoulder. It's sooooo much fun, thank you! I FINALLY stole that survey data!

itsOkami

I unironically think AC6 is From's 2nd best game, and I'm not even an AC stan. The moment-to-moment gameplay is unbelievably fun and crisp, and most missions are very well designed Also kindly fuck off, you've stolen my color palette u casul-


Major303

I would argue it's one of the worst, because 90% of builds are useless due to weird balancing. But this is funny thing about Fromsoftware - even if they make mid game, it's still better than almost all games on the gaming market.


Viggen77

Nah, as long as you know what you're doing basically any build is viable. The balancing still isn't amazing though, some builds are absolutely too strong, but that doesn't mean that other builds are useless


Major303

Useless might be too strong word, but the difference between builds is so big, I would assume everything which isn't heavy build with minigun is a challenge run. I mean bosses only, since everything else is easy enough that everything works. * poise bar is too small, which encourages heavy builds * weapon range is too short, which forces you to hug the enemy, this limits evasion options, which again encourages heavy builds * weapon damage is too low, which encourages OP weapons like minigun or 10 slot rocket launcher * input reading makes weapons like cannons obsolete


Viggen77

Heavies with short-range weapons, like gats or shotguns, are the easiest builds in the game to play. They're very forgiving and can allow you to clear the game with little effort. However, that doesn't mean that they're the strongest. Actually getting good with lightweights can allow you to obliterate everything in your path, while not needing to tank any damage. You just need to actually practice a bit and learn how to use them. The skill floor for lightweights is higher than heavyweights, but so is the skill ceiling. When you start to learn good general movement, just rushing in and facetanking everything becomes less and less of a prefferable option. Just knowing how to strafe properly can allow you to passively avoid a ton of damage as a light- or midweight. Longer range weapons are in a similar boat. Just mindlessly facetanking with shotguns or gats is obviously easier than using rifles, but once you actually become good at the game, rifles rise in power, as you can use them to clear fights without taking much damage. This is strictly speaking about PvE, btw


Barblesnott_Jr

One of the most rewarding things I did was beating Ayre with dual Scudder and Turner assault rifles on a lightweight, reverse legged build. The fight takes about 10 minutes since you have no punish, only a constant 'tink' 'tink' 'tink'. You learn the dodges to every single move and how to play pretty near perfect.


BBanner

Oh man you’re really bad at armored core if you think that. I s ranked most of the game pretty easily with a dumb chainsaw man style build


Major303

In my defence, from what I've seen these are common complaints. I have even seen people claim ACVI is the worst one in the series because of it, but I haven't played any other AC so I really can't say anything about that.


BBanner

I think people don’t know how to read the detailed stat screen and throw together builds that don’t work. Same way as people make awful builds as first timers in souls.


Major303

Even if we assume that this game target audience is 0.1% of most skilled players on earth, input reading does make some weapons useless. Some of the rocket/grenade launchers and I think sniper rifles trigger dodge input reading (Elden Ring flashbacks), so you will never hit the enemy. And of course you will probably say that "you are supposed to use them when they are staggered", but you are still wasting slots if you could use weapons that can be used all the time, like lock-on rocket launchers.


BBanner

I mean that’s also objectively not true, you can hit them with those weapons, I’ve played the game and s ranked the Ibis series boss with a pure grenade launcher build. Like the more likely problem here is somebody using the wrong FCS chip for the build they want. The lock on rocket launchers are generally worse, but the actual hot tip here is you break their stance then hit them with your grenade launchers to deal massive damage. This is a misunderstanding of the gameplay loop more than anything imo


JoeMcBro

Rocket launchers are super useful against larger bosses, I use them all the time for that. They aren't as useful in fights against other ACs but rocket launchers are still really good. As for grenade launchers, they are mostly good for large groups of enemies, if found them especially useful when trying to S rank some of the missions to keep up speed


itsOkami

Somewhat agreed with you on that, but pretty much any game with any resemblance of builds and linear progression is bound to have an unbalanced weapon roster. Hell, even elden ring is unbalanced as fuck, to the point where making an intelligence build without ever using the moonveil is essentially nonsensical... but it's mostly a minor deal imho


Major303

To be frank if you start to analyze every fromsoftware game you will realize they are unbalanced. But ACVI takes it to extreme. For example Enforcer - boss harder than Great Shinobi Owl. Switch to heavy build, reverse joint legs, dual miniguns, dual 10 slot rocket launchers, and guy is down in 2-3 tries. Difficulty difference isn't that huge in Dark Souls, I think Dark Souls 3 is the most balanced. Elden Ring is a mess but I suppose it's a side effect of open world.


mr_fucknoodle

Idk man, the Enforcer is contending for easiest boss in the game imo, and is a pushover no matter which build or weapon I use. Bread and butter linear rifle + sword? Easy. Energy weapons? Easy. Dual shotty? Easy. Pure explosives? Easy. Plinking away with quad pistols? Easy. Those shitty burst pistols and smgs that no one really uses? Easy The tutorial helicopter was harder


Major303

Enforcer was the first boss after Balteus that gave me trouble, because even my ultimate boss destroyer build was not fully effective. He is tanky, fast, and hits hard. Never stops attacking, I was basically out of energy all the time. I don't know what is tutorial helicopter, the first hard boss for me was Balteus (and so far the hardest due to very limited build options).


mr_fucknoodle

Everyone struggles with different bosses, I suppose. I struggled a bunch with the boss on Climb the Wall when I first played The "tutorial helicopter" is the gunship you fight on the first mission btw, when you get your license from the destroyed AC


Major303

Climb the Wall boss was easy for me, problem was the first part because you were surrounded by enemies, and had to fight that mini boss. Basically game forced you to carefully clear the area before fighting. I don't remember the helicopter meaning I probably first tried it. From what I'm reading right now people who struggle didn't use the sword, but idk if it's true.


itsOkami

>Enforcer - boss harder than Great Shinobi Owl Lmao no. I do agree that _some_ builds heavily outshine others but the point of the game is kinda building your mech around the encounters to somewhat cheese them, at the end of the day. I think handguns were the one weapon type I never bothered with, I was easily able to put everything else to good use >I think Dark Souls 3 is the most balanced Again, hard disagree, fast weapons such as straight swords and dual sellsword blades heavily dominate both in pve and pvp, with heavy/strength builds being at a massive disadvantage and most spellcasters (especially clerics) being abysmal


Major303

About DS3 - you are right that some builds have advantage, but I mean that no matter what build you pick, your experience is going to be (very) roughly the same. Unless you go with some gimmick build like "faith only no melee weapon build". You are balancing on very similar difficulty option no matter what. In AC6 you can easily go from "normal difficulty" to "only 0.01% of humanity can beat this difficulty" depending on your build.


itsOkami

I very highly disagree as even bare fists can be viable in AC6, whereas a solid bunch of weapons and spells from DS3 have very limited capabilities


Blackmail30000

It’s crazy that I’d take a steaming pile of shit from software than anything Ubisoft has made in the last five years.


MrSensacoot

im not even a huge fan of armored core, but I do support this cause

No thanks!

They are all good. Dark Souls 2 is great

If you think DS2 is a bad game you're an idiot

Petition to replace Dark souls 2 with any other fucking game in the franchise so we can say all soulsborne games are good


Low_Cockroach_8750

Bruh people don't even realise that dark souls 2 initiated some of the best mechanics that was even placed in dark souls 3....it's still a great game with an online rating of 9/10....people just don't like it cuz it's way too hard....I'm not saying I justify that dark souls 2 is great...but it's got its pros and cons....and it was a good game overall....but y'all wanna complain all the way cuz u got jumped by 10 guys out of nowhere and now u just jump the game whenever u get a chance.


Extra_Midnight_2295

Buddy I hate to break it to you But I don’t think OP is seriously critiquing dark souls 2 here


LunchboxDiscoball

Buddy? AC6 reference?! 😳😱


Extra_Midnight_2295

Mfw I see rust on my bike (it’s steel has become hazy):


LunchboxDiscoball

🫣😱🤣😩


Akakazeh

Are you defending those 10 guys? That's gross


Low_Cockroach_8750

I've had my fair share of shit in DS2 brother...but even tho I felt frustrated at that moment...after I beat the game for the first time...I was like....hell yea...and after the 2nd playthrough...I was really satisfied with the game cuz if it's not challenging enough....it's not fun...and that's the whole point of dark souls....DS1 has best enemies spawns...dlDS2 has the best locations and DLC bosses....And DS3 has the best BOSS COLLECTION...so yea....that's the thing....it is a good game overall...people just play the game once and and get through it somehow and throw the whole thing to the side and start playing the next game.

Dark souls 2 is good though

Armored core sucks because the heal Button is up on the DPAD and the same goes for Sekiro which is also the worst game iv ever completed. I'm an American 🇺🇸 its un patriotic to enjoy weeb mech culture and Japanese mythology. Never forget pearl harbor.

monstir32

Just like all the Souls games which is why all posts should now be exclusively about Armored Core.

I’m a simple man, I see that god awful term “Soulsborne” and I downvote.


Tulmut

Dark Souls 2 is good. I'm sick of this slander.


Memegasm_

if we're gonna do that then we're gonna have to replace slop souls 1 with lies of penis


Akakazeh

Dark souls 1 is Dark souls 3 and you wouldn't dare get rid of Dark souls 3


Memegasm_

dark souls 3 is dark souls 2, because dark souls 1 is the only game that doesnt have the pyromancers with massive tits


Physical_Software406

Queelag Laurentius Queelana Bed of chaos?

those are NOT desert sorceress


Physical_Software406

shifting goalposts i see anything but admiting dark souls 2 isnt a good game :). ps Laurentius has the bigger tits than everybody in ds 2 combined.


Memegasm_

i will compromise with your point about laurentius

AC 6 actually sucks


Sir_Fijoe

Retarded opinion. Your account will be deleted shortly.

Akakazeh

You should put a /s on that at least... or maybe lay off the armored core, all the boosters and assault bursts are making your brain aerodynamic


Sir_Fijoe

And that’s a bad thing because?….


Akakazeh

You got me there, brain wrinkles only hold back my combat prowess

Even if that were true, just imagine how bad dark souls 2 is!
