Armored Core
| Idunno, but I have a question of my own.
Assuming I only have a PSP (and even then I have to emulate) which AC game would be the best to play?
| Hell yeah, Armored Core thread.
>>100451 I think one of the Strike Vector games is as close as you're going to get in terms of the same speed of AC4. Not many games come close.
>>100863 If you like getting your ass beat, Last Raven portable. Otherwise, Silent Line or Formula Front.
| The only mecha game Iever played that was faster and as satisfying was Zone of the Enders
But good God I love me some AC
| Project nimbus on steam is somewhat similar, fast flying mecha

"getting your ass beat" as in "wew, now that's what I call a challenge", or as in "oh god this is pretty much literal hell and I don't want this to continue"?
| >>101371 It's a large amount of both. LR is unquestionably the hardest AC, but the PSP port might have been toned down to compensate the fact that it's on a handheld though. If not, it's 100% the latter cause LR just throws you into the mix and expects you to have the answers to everything. It's a lot of trial and error.
| Armored Core 6 is on the way!
If you want mecha action, Brigador is an excellent top down game with robots, I hear project nimbus is ok but its terribly optimized and doesnt look all that great. If you're itching for ace pilot feel, Ace Combat reallly scratches that Armored Core itch.
| Oh, also, Hawken felt really good to play IMO, there's an AC-style arena combat mech game in development but i forgot the name, i believe the devs are mexican. For turn based Mecha action, Phantom Brigade is currently in dev and alpha keys are being handed out to anyone who asks nicely, think modern Front Mission/xcom
| And then there's always all the gundam games, they're pretty solid! Strike suit was also pretty fun... I think that's all I can come up with off the top of my head, Mechag/u/rl out!
| >>101924 I'm willing to vouch on Hawken if it's on PC. Console Hawken is a huge no-no. Most of the Gundam games are pretty solid but I think Gundam Breaker might be the best in that department.
Also good on you for mentioning Ace Combat. Not necessarily the same but I noticed that anyone who enjoys Armored Core enjoys Ace Combat just as much.
| >>102103 Well, Ace Combat does feel different in gameplay, but the story captures that same essence of slowly working up to become an Ace of Aces and go do super uncanny stuff by the end of the game.
| I think Hawken shut down few months ago, it was dying for years as it was. Not really anything like AC around these days. I bought Brigador during last Steam sale, it's not bad, but probably not what you gurls want. I'm following something called Dual Gear, looks like it has AC aesthetic and customization, but I think it's turn-based or something.

Zone of the Enders
Project Nimbus.
There's also my game on the way if you gurls want me to talk about it here.

I'm tempted to make a full discussion thread on it soon to see if people are 100% interested in it here and what they'd think of some stuff that I'm doing with it but here's the general gist:
3rd person action game with elements from ZoE2 and Armored Core 4/4A.
Customizable elements including (but not limited to potentially):
-Heads
-Body
-Arms
-Legs
-Left Hand Guns
-Right Hand
We're planning on more shit but that's the general gist of it.
| >>102388 Interesting. You should definitely throw up a thread at some point, I'd love to talk about it and ask some questions.

| I need more robot action in my life. Anybody know any really good games like Armored Core 4/4A?
