All they have to do is fix that thing with the internal fire control and it would be unstoppable. And I doubt its terribly slow. The large legs could let each step cover massive distance.
Armored Core always felt like a less romanticized version of Gundam for me. In Gundam, while it's hard, you've got some kind of thing to make everything a bit easier. In AC, especially the well-designed levels, you feel like you're at a disadvantage, no matter how well-suited your mech is. You have to think things through in those levels, and it's hard to make a fool proof strategy. There's a defined line of what you are and aren't able to do.
Hahahaha i know that, i have this main mech in ac 4, and only can achieve their things if someone play they cards well, but if someone screw it using it its just a sitting duck hahahahahaha, i think its because its like a katana, you can not go for a full force hit because you are gonna broke your sword, but if you attack tactical points and parry attacks then your katana its not gonna break apart, and it will became letal for the enemy.
>Destroying those guns should also cause danage to the machine's interior >It's pretty poorly designed but that kind of sloppy work is expected of them Yeah, and your arms fort fucking fell down because your solar panels dies by two hits of rifle.
This was actually one of the hardest ArmsForts to fight in the game because of the tremendous amount of units shooting at you. Most of the other armsforts can be destroyed in a single hit from a KIKU. And Answerer is a joke once you fly onto its petals.
Those aren’t solar panels, those are radiators to let off heat, like the ones you see in scientifically accurate space shuttles, they just resemble solar panels.
I remember thinking that the Death Star engineer from Family Guy's Blue Harvest must have gone on to design this thing; Engineer: "Your new mobile fortress is basically impervious to any attack" BFF: "Basically?" Engineer: "Yeah, it doesn't even have a tiny area that might be a weak spot buuuuuuut......" BFF: "But what?" Engineer: "Well, if the enemy blows up any of the main guns, it catches on fire and the whole thing overheats and explodes." BFF: "Whoa, whoa, whoa! That sounds like a MAJOR design flaw! Isn't there anything we can do about that?" Engineer: "A small thermal exhaust port, but trust me, you DO NOT want one of those. My last project taught me that lesson, but this time, there's no WAY any enemy could get close enough to even damage the guns unless they wanted to strap themselves to a rocket or something. Then they'd have to dodge all the cannons firing at them from miles away, and all the missiles... Really, it's not a big deal." And a few weeks later he's regretting that he has to move galaxies yet again because his name was on that.
after a whole decade this still is my favorite game today.Many people didn‘t like the minimalistic storytelling - but i always saw /still see it as a great void to fill it with my own ideas and visions of what might be going on in a world - looking like this, armored core for answer
Funny how Dark Souls gets praise for the minimal storytelling. If you read your emails and pay attention to the briefings *_there is_* a story to these games after all 😄
People forget Armored Core is made by Fromsoftware. the same company that brought us Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring. minimalist storytelling is kinda a tradition for them.
Always think about how you destroy everything in Armored Core. All that continuous destruction from the characters you play, and each sequel the world's worse off because of it. Sure we usually save the day but more often than not its saving what's left, and the world's worse off than when we started. I just wonder how many more protagonists the Armored Core universe can survive before humanity goes extinct.
I think the exception to this is the first game in the Armored Core 3 timeline. The world is explicitly better off post-game than it was before. Generally this is true though.
@@atlas4837 heyyyy. you are that one person who's always so much fun at parties. no shit sherlock, we all know its fiction. your replies are cringey as fuck. you ARE aware that its really very much completely human to empathize with fictive people or a fictive world right? do you ever leave your home or talk to real people at all?
Just realized something. If this was more realistic, the sound from the cannon would come a few seconds after the flash from its firing. Remember, cannon shells can travel faster than the speed of sound. Also, that looks like he boss from Daemon X Machina demon. Oh armourded core, always armour coring.
The guy who made daemon x machina worked on all the armored core games before making x machina so if anything x machina copied armored core not the other way around.
I had such a hard time fighting this thing. I was zipping around, plinking away at it from every angle and taking so much damage when I'd get slapped by a barrage of misses. I fought tooth and nail and sometimes came down to nearly winning when I would die. I tried over and over dodging in the air and across the decks and in the sand under the machine struggling for days to take this down. Finally after the fourth day of losses upon losses and being fed up of near victory but still losing I went to the internet... That's when I found out you can just tap it with your sword here and there you win. And I did. And I won. And I felt so cheated by that "strategy" that I didn't play it again for three days. I thought I had to fly strategically and manage my fuel and kit my AC perfectly for this and that. Nope. No. Just go in with a sword o' giant slaying to inflict massive damage.
My first time around I ran out of ammo. I didn't pay attention to the briefing and so didn't realize that the missile batteries were a mission target. I just kept flying around it blowing stuff up for almost half an hour. I retried the mission several times over the course of a few days until I finally noticed the briefing. I like how we struggled with this mission for completely different reasons...
Ive buillt a mindset around AC games. Use Anything in your disposal to Win. From Tips online to The Most cheesiest plays, Its a FROMSOFT game treat it like one.
@@arcticgalegamer8139 As is any other soldier's/marine's reaction to artillery. We were taught that when we encounter it, gtfo and don't clump together. The Sgt or Lt has to pick out a place and have everyone meet up there, out of harm's way. But for motherwill, the size of the shells are enormous and honestly, you are probably boned
Gah this fight just has all the right touches. An imposing theme that fits the monstrosity it is. Insane firepower and incredible sound design. Any time I hear one of those guns going off. All I can think is OHHHHHH CRAP DOOODGE! And the missiles, good lord the missiles. The staff definitely needs ear plugs to work in this arms fort.
Love this mission, its even more insane on the hardest difficulty with the endless rocket stream and enemy pilot. Hit, Speed is the only answer to win that with S rank.
I usually try to climb up high towards the map's ceiling before the VOB unit burns out. That way, I can use the momentum to fly a bit further at high speed before resorting to overboosting. ...I'm not sure if that actually helps, now that I think of it, but it sure feels like it.
I love the flared sky and encompassing whiteness of it. Its like a dream. Combine that with the vocals of the tracks and its like a fight taking place in a post apocalyptic Heaven.
> New Armored Core entry > Implied that you are riding a normal mech, not a NEXT Its no a souls-like (confirmed) But BOI ITS GONNA BE AS HARD *BE READY*
Handler Walter got his start working for GA America. It's my headcanon that AC6 actually takes place after the orca ending of 4A, hence why we're in space and everyone wants a specific planet. Thermidor talks a lot about humanity's future among the stars. And the mining ship strider is a lot like an arms fort, and it's laser is very much like a sol dios canon. And perhaps since humanity realized how polluting kojima was, they turned to the coral as an answer.
@@jp-sn6siKojima tech was banned after this game, resulting in a massive technological regression in Armored Core V/Verdict Day, with ACs becoming almost featureless function over form humanoid war machines. If tech improved by the events of AC6, it would still be inferior to NEXTs
@@jp-sn6si it's literally in Verdict Day, the technology The Foundation found is the tech from 4, the Towers were it was stored irradiated Kojima Particles, THERE'S A CRASHED CRADLE IN VD
While yes, not explicitly said, after the events of 4A, considering that Kojima particles would reach the atmosphere if they kept being used (Thermidor literally says this), NEXT tech disappeared for that very reason, and seeing what Armored Cores became in V/VD, a technological regression makes sense, cause they ARE worse
Azon look xbox 360 is going for 20 bucks in some places and the game is 10 or 15 do yourself a favor and get this game you will never regret it (and you can get halo lol)
I'm dying for From Software to put some of that Dark Souls money into this series, but it would probably be cancer like AC5. I got the 360 version in a bargain bin, so copies must be out there. No chance of finding some good deals on hardware? Or are they all broken by now?
After beating armored core 6 i come back to this and I say to myself they tried a bit to hard to make it like a soulsborne with the mission structure of armored core didn’t care it for that much compared to foranswer rest of the series. Kinda disappointed that they won’t let that formula go
+Joshua Boguiren All u have to do is make a lightweight AC and then throw on dual laser blades and the shoulder gatling cannons, and go attack the missile bays first, after taking out Killdozer. BTW, do this with reg 1.15 and ur good
hector bazan Or you could just learn how to dodge missiles and do it with a pistol for the batteries and a pile bunker for the cannons... 1.15? GN-SOBRERO isn't overpowered enough for you?
that shot with your NEXT posing with a massive explosion in the background and a piece of debris bearing the name of BFF landing behind you goes so hard
With how easy this mission is, the ost make you feel like a total badass, when that cutscene witj Motherwill fallen and your AC just standing from distance and looking at the camera.. it's so freakin cool. AC6 has great ost and cool moments, but I think they could pump out a little more. I hope it get DLC/Expansion with NEXT or more colossal weapon of mass destruction as bosses
Years ago, 15 failures in this mission and I gave up. I think it had to do with my part selection rather than strategy. Regardless I just copied a complete file and enjoyed vs mode without frustrating boss fights.
The first Armored Core game I really enjoyed. The previous ones controls were too clunky and the missions too boring to keep me motivated. This one hasn't fixed control issues entirely but it is playable and the presentation is awesome.
very underrated game. Most of my friends only play the mainstream titles and hated it, but once I overcame the skill cap way back when at the age of 8 or 9 (i was completely obsessed with mechs at the time), I enjoyed hte hell out of it.
Instead we have souls like bosses which makes up for it like the ice sandworm is just a copy and paste reskin of dark souls 3 worms or the enforce was a copy and paste of maliketh the black blade
@Egoxeno it's pretty much impossible to get there on one tank, but you can OB until fires, then dash out of the way and kill the OB and not take a hit usually. good run either way though, I love how so many different tactics work in AC:FA.
I know this is 11 years old but it still makes me laugh when people don't realise that if they dont touch their controller during the VOB phase, motherwill will never be able to hit them
@@CruxG228 Yeah I don't know what people are talking about. This "boss" literally doesn't react to you. Hit a few immobile targets, rinse and repeat. You'd be hard pressed to actually die to the few homing missiles the thing shoots at you. Absolutely boring.
.....what. You destroy a few missile launchers on these weird wing/ledges coming off the center and they start panicking about overheating. Then you destroy those scaffolding things that I guess are autoloaders for the main cannons. And then apparently the entire thing breaks apart and the orders for evac come out? You did zero damage to the superstructure! You didn't even like, cook off its ammo or anything. And that's ignoreing the few other mechs standing around doing nothing while you wreck shit. Where is the Motherwill's escort? Why isn't it launching its fighter escort? I mean I assume those wing/ledge things are for launching fighters and stuff, otherwise they're just there to be there which makes no sense at all. I mean my god what was this thing made out of, tissue paper? You didn't even destroy the guns to damage the internal structure like the briefing suggested, you just destroyed the ammo loading mechanisms. Just... what the heck. I like Armored Core but this is silly. There are one on one encounters more challenging than this. A giant moving fortress should not be an easy fight unless you're piloting another giant moving fortress or something similar.
Audie Bakerson ...touche. I suppose it irks me so much because I'm studying to be a game designer myself, and it just seems like bad design to make such a hyped up battle be... well, seemingly easy. I'm sure part of it is the skill of the person playing, but it seems like once you're under the range of Motherwill's main cannons, there's very, very little actual defenses to stop you. Making it be not very challenging tends to cheapen the feeling of success and victory, you know? Most people, I find, feel better at achieving something when doing so is challenging; it's why no one gives a damn about Achievements/Trophies in video games that you get just for playing the campaign/story missions.
Shenaldrac 1. its on normal difficulty. on hard mode theres a next escorting it. and both said next and motherwill spam missiles like no tomorrow making it very very difficult to just go, stop for a second and shoot at the missile launchers/main cannons since by that point youve been hit with like 100 missiles. 2. The briefing explicitly says that damaging the outside cannons and missile launchers causes a back feed resulting in internal fires, which eventually reach the core and the ammo supplies causing it to well break. again as it said in the briefing it said "its pretty pooly designed, but that kind of sloppy work is expected of them." which is really a funny way of saying they too messed up a bit on the design of the mission/level XD since it would be impossible to kill this thing without such a weakness.
Technically the game held your hand during Armsfort fights, to make you the protagonist seem strong. In reality it would be impossible for any NEXT to single-handedly take on the Boss Armsforts as observed in the intro. Since White Glint took heavy damage just getting close to Motherwill.
God I hope they keep this speed and pace for the next Armored Core. I don't want a slow, cumbersome, plodding slog in a mech that feels like it'll fall apart if something looks at it in a mean way.
now this is what I miss. The earlier armored core games had this kind of face pace high flying action, but after four, all the other games felt slow and clunky.
NEW ARMORED CORE. START UP YOUR ENGINES!
I can't wait to play/upload a new Armored Core game!
love the design of Spirit of Motherwill, a giant slow walking fort with enough firepower to level several cityblocks, mecha at its best
Wouldnt it be cool if there could be a Spirit of Motherwill anime?
Like during the prime of the forteress, near the end of the last war
All they have to do is fix that thing with the internal fire control and it would be unstoppable. And I doubt its terribly slow. The large legs could let each step cover massive distance.
For this size its seriously lacking firepower.

AC6 has great ost and cool moments, but I think they could pump out a little more. I hope it get DLC/Expansion with NEXT or more colossal weapon of mass destruction as bosses
Can I get a armored core in 2018?
When From Software gets sick of all that Dark Souls money, maybe.
ROSA_LES88 Maybe not 2018. But Miyazaki has already mentioned that fromsoft is working on 3 different projects, one of them being armored core.
Emptilion awesome!!!!
I'm from the future! Daemon X Machina, the creators of Armored Core are making it! Good luck on your mission, Next pilot!
no
So the STRIDER from Armored - Core 6 or the Spirit of the MotherWill from Armored Core - FA
Years ago, 15 failures in this mission and I gave up. I think it had to do with my part selection rather than strategy. Regardless I just copied a complete file and enjoyed vs mode without frustrating boss fights.
The first Armored Core game I really enjoyed. The previous ones controls were too clunky and the missions too boring to keep me motivated. This one hasn't fixed control issues entirely but it is playable and the presentation is awesome.
You must have used type a controls
ikr at first i thought this was the worst AC, then i got used to the controls. This game was by far the best mecha game, its even more fluid than ZOE.
very underrated game. Most of my friends only play the mainstream titles and hated it, but once I overcame the skill cap way back when at the age of 8 or 9 (i was completely obsessed with mechs at the time), I enjoyed hte hell out of it.
@@mustysmells817 It is the worst AC
@@kamikeserpentail3778 why
AC gameplay is great but the soundtracks in this game is LEGENDARY. I could listen to the tracks all day man
Comparing this to fires of rubicon is crazy, massive difference
My only big disappointment with AC6 was a lack of these giant bosses.
Instead we have souls like bosses which makes up for it like the ice sandworm is just a copy and paste reskin of dark souls 3 worms or the enforce was a copy and paste of maliketh the black blade
@@kevingame3198the heck you smokin? Enforcer was nothing like reskin maliketh
@@hare75 When it comes to From Software games people will just say absolutely anything without even thinking about what it means
@@kevingame3198literally all of what you said was false, but go off i guess lmao
I recall playing early iPhone games just like this.
Do you guys think XxCODAzzazinxX still plays Call of Duty?
I cant believe I lived to see the day that these graphics became outdated

Wow, they seriously did suck at translating this game.
lol
+Echo7099 Unless you're being really racist.
Lol, wow xbox...
huh?
The games were kinda crap to start with, no level of translation is going to fix that.
Amazing the BFF engineers could design a walking city but doesn't know what bulkheads are
😭 seeing the white glint & that terrible interface again brings back memories
It's not terrible
It's special
radahn be like
The Strider's forgotten big sister
This reminds me of monster hunters massive elder dragon hunts.
@Egoxeno it's pretty much impossible to get there on one tank, but you can OB until fires, then dash out of the way and kill the OB and not take a hit usually. good run either way though, I love how so many different tactics work in AC:FA.
this is one of the most fun and rewarding games i have ever played
I can't believe you're not scared just boosting normally over that thing
We made it bois
Armored core 6 hyyype!
Who could imagine that game was directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki!
英語のブリーフィングカッコよ…///
Now thats something that i feel like Ac6 is missing. Missiles with an impact behind. Not statswise, but sound design i mean.
Did you know that in ACFA, if you use dual blades and stagger them, you can go as fast as if you used overed boost without the PA drain?
I know this is 11 years old but it still makes me laugh when people don't realise that if they dont touch their controller during the VOB phase, motherwill will never be able to hit them
I wish they could make another game of this size and speed and atmosphere with the better visuals and control and UI designs.
Never played any of the Armoured cores but this looks like Classic Fromsoft gimmick fight like Yohrm and Rykard.
So this is idea before Radahn in Elden Ring? same vibe lol
I wonder how hard it was building the mech that made this mission look so easy.
ACFA is piss easy. You can do it with any starter NEXT.
@@CruxG228 it isn't that easy at all imo
@@CruxG228 try beating starter AC and beat attack cranium (hard mode)
@@CruxG228 Yeah I don't know what people are talking about.
This "boss" literally doesn't react to you.
Hit a few immobile targets, rinse and repeat.
You'd be hard pressed to actually die to the few homing missiles the thing shoots at you.
Absolutely boring.
I know nothing about Armored Core but it looks like BattleTech mixed with Ace Combat and a big spoonful of Metal Gear for flavor.
I'm interested.
Seeing “XxCODAzzazinxX” log in really brought back the Xbox nostalgia😁
The hard part is just getting our ac to lock onto the right target lol
.....what. You destroy a few missile launchers on these weird wing/ledges coming off the center and they start panicking about overheating. Then you destroy those scaffolding things that I guess are autoloaders for the main cannons. And then apparently the entire thing breaks apart and the orders for evac come out? You did zero damage to the superstructure! You didn't even like, cook off its ammo or anything. And that's ignoreing the few other mechs standing around doing nothing while you wreck shit. Where is the Motherwill's escort? Why isn't it launching its fighter escort? I mean I assume those wing/ledge things are for launching fighters and stuff, otherwise they're just there to be there which makes no sense at all. I mean my god what was this thing made out of, tissue paper? You didn't even destroy the guns to damage the internal structure like the briefing suggested, you just destroyed the ammo loading mechanisms. Just... what the heck. I like Armored Core but this is silly. There are one on one encounters more challenging than this. A giant moving fortress should not be an easy fight unless you're piloting another giant moving fortress or something similar.
It's pretty poorly designed, but that kind of sloppy work is expected of them.
Audie Bakerson
...touche. I suppose it irks me so much because I'm studying to be a game designer myself, and it just seems like bad design to make such a hyped up battle be... well, seemingly easy. I'm sure part of it is the skill of the person playing, but it seems like once you're under the range of Motherwill's main cannons, there's very, very little actual defenses to stop you. Making it be not very challenging tends to cheapen the feeling of success and victory, you know? Most people, I find, feel better at achieving something when doing so is challenging; it's why no one gives a damn about Achievements/Trophies in video games that you get just for playing the campaign/story missions.
Shenaldrac 1. its on normal difficulty. on hard mode theres a next escorting it. and both said next and motherwill spam missiles like no tomorrow making it very very difficult to just go, stop for a second and shoot at the missile launchers/main cannons since by that point youve been hit with like 100 missiles.
2. The briefing explicitly says that damaging the outside cannons and missile launchers causes a back feed resulting in internal fires, which eventually reach the core and the ammo supplies causing it to well break. again as it said in the briefing it said "its pretty pooly designed, but that kind of sloppy work is expected of them." which is really a funny way of saying they too messed up a bit on the design of the mission/level XD
since it would be impossible to kill this thing without such a weakness.
Technically the game held your hand during Armsfort fights, to make you the protagonist seem strong. In reality it would be impossible for any NEXT to single-handedly take on the Boss Armsforts as observed in the intro. Since White Glint took heavy damage just getting close to Motherwill.
pokeng And depending on which side you took, you squash Wuhite Glint like a bug.
At least thats what I did.
God I hope they keep this speed and pace for the next Armored Core. I don't want a slow, cumbersome, plodding slog in a mech that feels like it'll fall apart if something looks at it in a mean way.
They definitely took inspiration from this for the new story trailer for AC6
"Should" let you get close.
*Should* .
I remember how well that went
Out of curiosity how *did* that go?
now this is what I miss. The earlier armored core games had this kind of face pace high flying action, but after four, all the other games felt slow and clunky.
The ones before 4 was way slower.
4answer is the fastest one. Even ac4 wasnt as fast. ac5 and acVD were faster than ac1 to 3.
Odd comment, 5 and VD play faster than all of the gen 1-3 games.
Oh what a waste blowing that up.
There must be a way to infiltrate and capture it.
this vid is gonna blow lol. fromsoft fan here never played armored core. this vid right here has me super geeked for whats coming
The AC Series is absolutely amazing. You won't be disappointed.
The briefing gives me flashbacks to Ace Combat 4 for some reason...
Ah yes, the Motherwill, the fight where your greatest threat is the framerate if you're playing on a real PS3
