The game starts you out in a cold, uncaring world. You see no humans, you just hear their plights. But gradually over the course of the story, you get subtle insight into everyone's motivations. You earn their respect, and they pour their hearts out to you. Finally, some humanity among the clashing cold steel war-machines. But then in a cruel twist of fate, their motivations clash, and you have to choose. It's not just that it's a good story, it's that it's told in a way that only a video game can tell it. The heartbreak isn't second-hand, it's happening to you directly.
Yea, absolutely! Intercept the Redguns was the first time I felt really, really bad about what I was doing in this game. Michigan being your biggest hypeman even when you're out to kill him was something that I wasn't (and still ain't) prepared for emotionally. And betraying Carla right after she saved your ass was insanely cruel. Especially when you manage to make Chatty laugh during that fight and she thanks you for it. Damn, that stung! But what a great game to make you feel these kinds of ways! Thanks for checking out my video
@@kurdtcobenI think it’s supposed to be that way, raven like Walter said is emotionally disconnected like most gen 4s, killing them or betraying them being Raven’s shot in the arm so to speak, and ours. Same way titanfall 2 made you care during the campaign.
The fact that I had to fight Carla for the "Good ending" made it a bad ending for me. Sure the "bad ending" had you take out Michigan but rusty was gonna kill him anyway if you picked the vespers (and imo I think Michigan would have preferred to die by your hand than by the top soldier of the vespers). Fucking love this game man, I didn't think chatty laughing would have me paused in the middle of a boss fight
the game had such a simpile plot, but the writers and VAs did an amazing job getting us to like and hate a bunch of cut throats, corp muscle and a weird parasite. I love so many of the characters.
@@Earliersphere Yes, they were beyond amazing! I still keep coming back to the Ice Worm mission or Intercept the Redguns just for the amazing banter. And having a little heart to heart with buddy or laughing alongside Carla and Chatty always cures my bad mood.
I didn’t expect a game with no human faces ever shown to break my heart. But Armored Core 6 did, and I’m grateful for it. Fingers crossed for DLC/Expansion eventually - I’ll fly on borrowed wings ‘til then.
Thankfully, 621 was on no one's side officially so we were able to be on everyone's side at some point or another. Too bad it didn't last though... Reminds me a lot of what The Boss said in MGS3 which always resonated deeply with me: "The foibles of politics and the march of time can turn friends into enemies, just as easily as the wind changes. Ridiculous, isn't it? Yesterday's ally becomes today's opposition."
Michigan, Carla, Ayre, Chatty, and even Gun 6 all pulled at my heartstrings. (also rip to the newbie pilot, we hardly knew ye... you could *almost* keep up)
@@gzer0x Gun6's psychosis was surprisingly effective, considering he had no screen time at all and was just a voice that gave us objectives. Very brutal way of presenting him in person, especially the way he suddenly turns from ally into enemy in an instant. Memorable af.
The addition of the Redguns cheering after Michigan's pep talk is a detail I'm glad you kept. It was a reflection of how amazing a leader he was and what he meant to others that weren't you. It's what broke me when I first killed him. These pilots were people, and we snuffed their flames out to keep ours burning.
It's one of the top reasons I love this game. I still believe the so called "bad ending" is the best one bc you carry out the wish of those who were closest to you (Walter and Carla). Of course this is up to debate but that's precisely why it's so good
Having 100%ed this game, and being so, unfathomably proud of it, having replayed it countless times, killing all those pilots never truly got easier with each time. Every fight hurt. Except for V.II. That man can go die in a hole with Arquebus Balteus. Thank you for making me feel the heartache again, and I mean that genuinely. Reminds me how much I love the game and why I 100%ed it in the first place.
@@funnyman4311 Thanks a lot, glad to hear it resonated with you so much. Always especially happy to see it touch the people who've spent a lot of time with ACVI or longtime fans in general, that's worth so much.
@@funnyman4311 Hahaha,aww. Yea ngl, editing this I kept choking up at certain points myself. Especially going over certain footage over and over and over and hearing the voice lines - it does a number on you. Makes me happy to know I made something ghat you wanna come back to every now and then :)
"Look at you... 621. You found... a friend..." Walter's final words always hit hard. He was a monster that intended to start a fire that would burn the very stars. Yet in the end, his mind broken and fragmented as he was "re-educated" to be just another tool and fighting both for and against the goal he worked towards for decades, he's happy you have someone beside you.
"You can tell this to posterity: mean old Michigan died of a bad fall!" taking him out might've felt the worst right alongside Rusty and Walter, "Gun 13" felt like the only title we really EARNED for ourselves, in large part thanks to Michigan's respect for you as a pilot. We steal the name Raven, we're assigned the number 621, the closest thing the Vespers give you is "Walter's Hound" from Snail and a nice "buddy" from Rusty. Meanwhile, the Redguns make you the Wallclimber, they make you the Wormkiller, and Michigan is quick to remind the troops not to underestimate you when you go to fight him and the Redguns. Even if the corporations were too doomed to ever make it official, I damn proud to be a Redgun one way or another.
@@smileytrashbag6713 Taking out Michigan was painful for us and for Walter. But I truly believe that if Michigan could choose his demise, dying by the Wallclimbers hand was the most honorable way it could have gone for him. It's way better than letting rusty take care of your dirty work which is also why I didn't mind fighting rusty in the first place. Out of all endings, fighting Walter and Carla was the worst one for me. I'll gladly set the stars ablaze 1000 times over as opposed to siding with a self conscious energy source and a conniving AI. "Remember 621. Once something's alive, it doesn't die easy".
Damn, I completely missed your comment until now! Really, really glad you noticed that. Some fights were such a pain with that loadout but I'm so happy someone picked up on it in the end. Your comment made the suffering worth it! :p
This game twisted the emotional knife so many times. And it never failed to make me feel so guilty. Every victory was so bittersweet... And I want more of it.
Absolutely true! I admire a game series that gives you the freedom to be "the bad guy" without judging you for it directly and FromSoft has always been great at it! We need more games like these.
@@kurdtcobenBut for me AC 6 lacks feeling of "It is my own journey". I mean all 3 endings there are allways a lot of people around you, who direct you and pick you up after mission till almost the wery end. I need that feeling of being kinda lonely in this world. Perfect example of what I am talking about is AC from 1 to Last Raven, especially numbered ones.(AC 1, AC 2 and AC 3).
I wanted to apologize. I wanted to regret. But that would be a smear on all their names. The best I can give them is a fight worth dying for, and the knowledge i did it because I had to... to get where I had to go. The admission, that in another life, another set of circumstances. I called all of them... friends. We're all battle buddies now... and I'll remember them all.
Anyone saying its just a robot game with just "some" story has simply not paid attention to it, and this vid is just another proof that ac6's story is great.
This game is polarizing for me. While fighting im ruthless and sometimes so unforgiving as to finish people off with a kick. But man these people really grew on me. I felt bad attacking Carla and Michigan. Man shit hurt. And rusty felt like a true friend. It all hurt
I can’t help but tear up a little hearing all my old friends and remembering that I had to kill them all, and the end screen with all the names of the pilots that really hit me in the feels
@@dsbdsb6637 I would call neither of them underrated as both have a very strong and loyal fan base but I get what you're saying. Thanks for the compliments :)
Just as a flame turns to cinders, the life cycle of AC6 comes to an end. I hope we get at least something for the game's anniversary. And so... People live as long as we remember them. The same applies to absolutely everything, including games. So let's remember it at peak!
I don't think AC6 is anywhere near the end of it's life cycle. It might not be the "hot new thing" anymore but it's still being played. Hell, I'm not planning on dropping it anytime in the foreseeable future! And people still play the older Gens religously as well. AC6 will always be at it's peak if it managed to resonate with you, it's timeless! And I will surely remember it until the day I go cold.
As someone who has 100% the game, you forget that all of those kills and scores and ranks... Are just people Also amazing job with the edit, this honestly needs more attention
Ah it was hard I felt expendable and proved myself, felt like my 621 was to prove themselves. After countless playthroughs it became harder to side with one group. Thanks for making this. They deserved this
'Tourist' was my favourite title right after 'Gun13'. They way she said it didn't sound condescending, it sounded very affectionate and familiar. Get your laughs while you can!
The fact that there was no human face to face interaction compared to other mecha games makes the story of Armored Core 6 all the more a compelling tragedy filled with grief and sorrow.
I had to stop playing for a little when I did the FoR ending. It was after Rusty's defeat before i had to fight Ayre. For a second, I saw my version of 621 break down crying when he realized what he did. What he felt he had no choice in. And what would be the inevitable end for his story burned in the Fires of Raven.
@@Yaegashi1121 Aww, thanks for the high praise buddy. The compliments I've gotten from you and everyone else really humble me and make all the time and effort spent worth 10x as much! Glad you enjoyed it
i only killed walter for completion's sake because damn he is a real one to me the canon ending is where raven becomes a monster who burned the stars, all of them are morally gray depending on your perspective
While there _were_ outright villains, most of the pilots you were fighting were just people trying to make ends meet and live in the crazy world they're in. Good people caught up in a conflict they had no control over; puppets to others who wanted to dominate. And in the end humanity came to an end. What it became is anyone's guess, but it's fact that 621 converted all of humanity into something else. Good people died for your goal to be reached.
@@andrewowens4421 If you want to move forwards you'll have to leave something behind. But I don't think there were any villains in this whole story. Even unlikable people like Snail or Coldcall just acted according to their beliefs and values.
@@kurdtcoben Snail repeatedly sends you on suicide missions hoping that you will die, doesn't give a shit about other Vespers to the point of sacrificing them with zero hesitation and his only value is power. The guy is a hate sink all around.
Damn this hits. I actually teared up when I beat Walter. A man trapped in his own curse, doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. But in the end he saw that things could be different. They were all good pilots, great even. More than pilots people with hopes and dreams. Unfortunately we just fought for our dream a little harder.
@@kurdtcoben Took me long enough to realize but the Student Pilot didnt get a mention, I always felt bad for the poor son Wish he'd have gotten a mention as well.
@@pca-heisenburgerSorry for not replying earlier but apparently TH-cam doesnt deem all comments worth a notification. The reason why the student and Ayre aren't on the list is simply due to technicalities because they didn't have a true callsign. Your criticism is 100% justified though.
@@kurdtcoben No problems, (insert Rustys voice:) "buddy", This edit is one of my favorites and I am coming back to it on a regular basis. Love the effort.
Carla, Michigan, Chatty, Rusty, most of the redguns, they didnt have to die like that. best we can do his remember what they fought for and keep their memories alive. Rest easy soldiers you all have earned it.
@@dsbdsb6637 Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I've been craving more Armored Core, but at the same time, I don't want to milk the game for content, you know what I mean. So, seeing edits like these, especially this one makes me happy that someone out there gets to know and experience how sad and brutal the AC world is.
Walter, an old, broken man who tried to make things right. Ayre, a cute voice in your head who always accompanied you. Rusty, my... no, OUR Buddy. Carla and Chatty, a good pair of your guiders across the Rubicon. G1 Michigan, an absolute Chad. G5 Iguazu, while consumed by envy and hate, he was more strong-willed than anyone else. G6 Red, Michigan's biggest fan. Fuck V.II Snail. All my homies hate V.II Snail.
Very cool. I love videos like this. I made one myself earlier this year. I got halfway done with a second one and put it on hold as I had too much other stuff going on. Maybe it's time to take another look at it?
@@cthulhupanda36 Trust me, I had this cooking for quite a while. Started recording shortly after finishing my first playthrough in May last year and then dropped it multiple times over the following months. If you have something you want to create the just go ahead and do it, there's no story not worth hearing.
i did not want to kill them but my hand was forced and I'm questioning my morality at this point, they did not have to die by my hands in the course of my playthroughs, Walter, Carla, Rusty, Michigan. they were good people. i guess i Die a lot inside Every time i had to eliminate them. i felt really bad about killing them.
Can I ask, how did you record the gameplay footage without the hud up? (Like the ammo numbers, and other display things showing?) I too, really enjoy making ac6 edits and I would really like to use more footage without the hud getting in the way and taking away from things.

They were all good pilots, great even. More than pilots people with hopes and dreams. Unfortunately we just fought for our dream a little harder.
It‘s wild how G3 Wu Huahai isn’t mentioned while even SNAIL made it into the memory list o_o
@@pca-heisenburger Gun13 doesn't respect traitors.
@@kurdtcoben
- Snail abandoned Maeterlink;
- Iguazu went AWOL twice;
- Brute betrayed Carla.
All of them are in memory list.
@@kurdtcoben Took me long enough to realize but the Student Pilot didnt get a mention, I always felt bad for the poor son
Wish he'd have gotten a mention as well.
@@pca-heisenburgerSorry for not replying earlier but apparently TH-cam doesnt deem all comments worth a notification.
The reason why the student and Ayre aren't on the list is simply due to technicalities because they didn't have a true callsign. Your criticism is 100% justified though.
@@kurdtcoben No problems, (insert Rustys voice:) "buddy",
This edit is one of my favorites and I am coming back to it on a regular basis. Love the effort.
Someone lit the sauna in my eyes 😢

Carla, Michigan, Chatty, Rusty, most of the redguns, they didnt have to die like that. best we can do his remember what they fought for and keep their memories alive. Rest easy soldiers you all have earned it.
Hell yeah!!
Nice to see you enjoying other AC edits as i regularly watch your edit everyone dying, you did a fantastic job on it.
@@dsbdsb6637 Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I've been craving more Armored Core, but at the same time, I don't want to milk the game for content, you know what I mean. So, seeing edits like these, especially this one makes me happy that someone out there gets to know and experience how sad and brutal the AC world is.
This game breaks me even more than the end of Titan fall 2 did...
Walter, an old, broken man who tried to make things right.
Ayre, a cute voice in your head who always accompanied you.
Rusty, my... no, OUR Buddy.
Carla and Chatty, a good pair of your guiders across the Rubicon.
G1 Michigan, an absolute Chad.
G5 Iguazu, while consumed by envy and hate, he was more strong-willed than anyone else.
G6 Red, Michigan's biggest fan.
Fuck V.II Snail. All my homies hate V.II Snail.
Very cool. I love videos like this. I made one myself earlier this year. I got halfway done with a second one and put it on hold as I had too much other stuff going on. Maybe it's time to take another look at it?
@@cthulhupanda36 Trust me, I had this cooking for quite a while. Started recording shortly after finishing my first playthrough in May last year and then dropped it multiple times over the following months. If you have something you want to create the just go ahead and do it, there's no story not worth hearing.
I had no idea that it could rain inside a mech...
@@Peter_Anthony It's a terrible day for rain, indeed...
Holy peak
This fucking slaps 😢
@@user-lt2zu4qo8z Thank you! :)
Sobbing.
@@lilzenongene I'm sorry. Let it out, tears are love that needs to be free.
Damn.
@@Aki-ww6ev No swearing pls, it makes baby Jesus cry :(
I Feel so sad for killing Walter and G6 - Red
.... we have a job to do.
Thia is pretty good
@@spacewargamer4181 Thanks!
God damn... how did you remove the HUD? Jealous as hell of that gameplay footage...

i did not want to kill them but my hand was forced and I'm questioning my morality at this point, they did not have to die by my hands in the course of my playthroughs, Walter, Carla, Rusty, Michigan. they were good people. i guess i Die a lot inside Every time i had to eliminate them. i felt really bad about killing them.
Can I ask, how did you record the gameplay footage without the hud up? (Like the ammo numbers, and other display things showing?) I too, really enjoy making ac6 edits and I would really like to use more footage without the hud getting in the way and taking away from things.
@@jakeetc.1059 There's a No HUD reshade on Nexzsmods for that. Currently can't grab you a link but I've replied to another comment down here somewhere with said link so just search for that or look it up on Nexzsmods.
@@kurdtcoben ah okay sweet. Thanks a bunch
I understand it is a thing in gaming but I hate that 60fps and up thing in film/cinematic/video form.
Only selfish cowards side with Ayre.
