Nice gameplay. Will you also play disc 2? That's the best part of Nexus IMO.

The mission cinematics are so good with your commentary ah ah I would have loved to see your reaction on the opening of Nexus ! I saw your answer to another comment on why it was cut tho ; it was a good reason. The arena works as missions in this game. I like it this way, but I'm sure you would rather have a good old arena.

Fun fact: Genobee is replaced as Molycoddle in Last Raven. Both use the same setup and are OP-I, but Molycoddle's style is optimized than Genobee's. Edit: also when you get to Last Raven, good Luck on getting what we "OG Ravens " called the best ending. 👌 Also, to "challenge" the others, you gotta progress as well as beat the game.

@thryfe are you gonna upload your playthrough of the revolution disc? Because you should totally upload your playthrough of the revolution disc ❤

Another game, another round of wiki diving for me, woo! It's actually hilarious just how easy they made the first couple of missions in this game. That very first one, for example. Literally just 4 MTs that go down in like half a dozen starter rifle shots each, set up to be knocked down one-by-one shooting gallery style. The devs put a safeguard in place in case you somehow manage to full on *fail* this mission, letting you take on the survivors from your first attack again with effectively no global time loss. Better yet, should you somehow end up getting badly damaged by those MTs again in the rerun, another AC swoops in and completes the mission for you, saving you in the process. But yeah, loving how cinematic they made this game with cutscenes for basically every single mission, regardless of importance. Didn't really expect the step from early third gen to late third gen to be that distinct outside of the separate lists of parts, when going from Silent Line to Nexus, but it's a welcome addition all the way. Also loving Nightshade. Neutral main color with something vibrant accenting it is always my go-to and pairing black/grey with light blue like this leads to one of my favorite color combinations. Don't know where I saw it first, but if you ever wind up recreating this AC in AC6, you might want to give making the blue bits super metallic a spin. That in contrast to the relatively more matte, neutral colored main armor parts should end up looking pretty cool. As for the arena, this game is being a bit mean with it, because it's apparently based on the mission points system and arena fights will pop up on the world map right alongside your other missions. This presumably also means that the global time will be advanced by taking those fights, potentially locking you out of other missions. Take it with a grain of salt, because I got this information secondhand from a review, while the wiki has literally no information on the system as far as I can tell.

Are you doing disc 2 as well?

I remember my mind being blown so hard with this game. With the second disk throwbacks too cus I have a special place in my heart for the PS1 AC games. This is the first one that really forces you to play well to advance. Playing twinstick is rough but if you got a controller with back pedal buttons, super recommend setting circle button on one and playing old-school controls. Can still do dual welding guns just much easier. Stoked to see you playing older AC games man! There's not enough older ac content 🙏🏾🩵🩵🩵

Bro I was in the same boat as you tryna play last raven for the 1st time a few weeks ago "how do I jump wtf!" Lmao

TH-cam recap told me you were my most watched creator. Heck yeah!

that second bunk... me in bed

the pile bunker is eepy now

The Arena is only available after finishing the game, i mean, the full arena were you can fight the AC you want

As a fellow AC veteran, I was surprised at how sick I was to see/hear you swap to the classic controls, haha! I'm also one of the weirdos that love Nexus and it's heat mechanics! It's still my favorite AC game today!

Nexus and last raven arent my favorites, but to be fair, following up on 3 and silent line is a hard act to follow. they aren’t bad though. They both have an insane amount of parts for customization. And if we all bein honest, Thats why we play armored core

It looks a lot easier, but so far it's mostly been MT-slaughtering and bullying a random AC. Knowing Fromsoft I bet the difficulty is really gonna spike soon

Despite its problems Nexus is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You got to use the energy Exceeding Orbit cores man, but I know you like Overboosting.

bitches love my demon blade

Bro, the music slaps! Ugh im in love already!

Last Raven was the one that really made you learn to play. Certain arena and EX arena opponents FORCED you to git gud. With Genobe in the intro, you gotta do him first...a subtle homage to Zhaizo 😉 I didn't mind the heat mechanic, personally. I think it added another subtle way to balance parts, and made it so that your generator/radiator/booster pick was a trio that had to work together.

Yoooo so hyped! I hope you really enjoy it!

Oh yeah, don't forget to play the second disc missions and find all the secret parts there to bring the save to Last Raven. That game does NOT fuck around and basically expects you to have an imported save kinda like Silent Line did after 3. and yeah about the Arena... there's no arena. you'll get a few fights mixed in with your regular missions randomly through the campaign.

oooh here it is. glad you pick this one. it's a good game. I'm about to do a Nexus playthrough at my other channel, Mee Iru Dayo. I already finish the game but I'm gonna do a fresh start and probably doing a quad leg run.

I know that you're gonna do Ninebreaker at some point, but are you going to play Formula Fromt? That game to me is the MOST underrated entry into the series period. It also has one of my favorite little subtypes in mecha design (though only in the art for it) which is Mecha with Liveries, like a race car. The only thing period that I can think of that does the same is the anime IGPX.

sweet

I enjoyed playing through this game, but it was really really unbalanced for the worst. Last Raven (actually Ninebreaker) reverted back or toned down a bunch of the changes, but "compensated" for it by making the difficulty absolutely bullshit where everyone is cheating against you. Still, both are fun games, even if the balance is all over the place, and the last and most advanced entries of old gen AC.

I enjoyed Nexus for what it was, but the booster heat was a bit too much for my taste which is why the second time I went to tried Nexus I just went pure tank and had a much more enjoyable experience. Curious to see where you end up at the end. Also, for the arena it will be a mission.

Might be divisive in the AC community but it damn sure was great as my first Armored Core experience and kind of a prologue into the direction FROM would take with Last Ravens gameplay.

Brrooooo where do i get a job just hopping around in circles for 96k like thats life changing yo lol love these series man i kinda wanna submit a build to show case but dont think anything would be good lol i run mostly super lightweight tech builds

I wished you added the intro for this game. That was goated as hell. 👌🏻Although some of the mechanics in this game are annoying as sht. 🤣 Hopefully you'll get through this and my most awaited Last Raven. Have fun bro!

Yo!!!!!!! Glad to see you finally made it! And, don't worry bro, I also never adopted the analog to aim - Old school controls were just way to ingrained in me, and I honestly feel like I was just a better pilot with the old controls anyway so I left them. But yeah you're past the Silent Line now, so a lot of the functions will feel different, good lucK! Also, just to answer your questions- Yes, Overboost now overheats you if you activate it while boosters are active- Yes, Projectile speed has been reduced Yes, Your AC has less traction and slides on the ground Yes, your laserblade no longer stuns enemies (Even the moonlight wont stun anymore) Yes, Blade tracking is no longer reliable Yes, reloading has been introduced and ... we'll it takes getting used to BUT, on the flip side, the one good thing we got is your EO can now hit the enemy, you should try an EO core, they are very nice now -

Are you going to touch ninebreaker or skip it like many others?

CHARIOT KAGOBUSTER

A man of culture. I myself am a sweet16 enjoyer and since using it have little interest in other weapons

The one thing that bothers me about this tech is that it requires you to be in soft lock. Either you are maining soft lock which is much harder to use than hard lock, or youre switching quickly into soft lock each time you wanna try the tech, which just complicates the whole melee process significantly. Might be my brain just being too smol.

9:21 This was Insane Wtf

I have quite similar build, except I replace the shoulder weapons with double triple laser cannon (sorry I forget the name, is it LCD or something). It's a fun build for PvP and PvE even though I am still learning to piloting it effectively

OH GOD HE'S GINGER NO-

I saw the title and had flashbacks to watching code geass for the first time. If you know, you know 😢 Also i've been trying my hand at making the 'shinkiro' which is the one lelouch uses (I think, i haven't watched it in 3 years)

Yoooo I’ve always been curious how to do this but never rlly researched it. Soon as I saw the thumby I was like nah I gotta check this out 😂 Easily my favorite melee in the game so I’m SUPER hyped to start practicing!!! Fire tutorial bro! Appreciate you making a vid on this 😁 The Mario Kart explanation def helped me out lol

thank you brother.

Nice but of course I can do it the hard way not the ez way lol but I’m gonna work on it. Respect it’s a good technique for the goody bag lol

Loved this AC in silent line, cool to see her wrecking shop in ac6. That wheel chair fight was NASTY! good fights bro!

this is fire, helped a lot honestly. Took me about 30 minutes to pull off. Now it's just building muscle memory. Interesting things that helped me: It was much more consistent for me to quick boost (either towards or away from the the target) then execute it. Idk why but if it works it works. Secondly, you can spin this thing manually and it's a massive angle. Really massive, I wouldn't be surprised to see this trick catch ACs behind you.

thank you for this dude! some explanations float about but i never understood it and i run coral stuff a lot cuz i think it looks awesome, will defo try the oscilator on a build now!
