    I played both of these games when they came out. I still have a Xbox 360 and Verdict day. I remember that last fight with J at the end. I was watching him fly in getting ready for the big last battle. I see him land and then the explosion. The first thing that came to mind was "That's a next!". I then knew I was in for a hard battle. a normal vs a next. I remembered how that went in AC4 and For Answer. It was a hard battle, even more so to get S rank.

    Didn't help that From announced a patch that would fix all the issues, but mysteriously went silent on the announced day for said patch... Twice.
    That bit was the final nail in the coffin for me and my 8 friends who, until then, dominated the NA servers to the point that all other clans had standing orders not to engage with us. With our only real defeat being to a stalwart group of players who found out that the most effective way to win against us, was not to fight against us, but to do everything they could to simply reach the objective we had to protect, and one-shot it with a pile-driver. With no area denial weapons to note in that game such as effective mines or such, there was no way to defend against 4 ACs with nothing but speed and borderline suicidal tactics.
    Kudos to those guys for coming up with the tactic, sucks that it became the meta from then on. The game literally became a game about giant robots NOT fighting other giant robots.
    Also, the mech building sucked in that game. They tried so hard to go for a rock, paper, scissors theme in building that it ended up over-simplifying the entire system. We were pretty pissed at the fact that because of that, there were actually entire builds that simply outclassed anything from their own category by a mile. Had the whole thing figured out in a week and we lamented the lack of flexibility in that game to allow for stylistic choices without compromising on effectiveness. Which, was very much less of an issue in prior releases till then.
    On paper, ACV was the coolest game of the entire franchise. But it all fell apart at execution.

      So I can't even speak for or against Verdict Day. I can only say that V was most definitely the worst game From has ever made.
      Can't speak for my friends, but my blood still boils at the mention of V. I won't hold it against anyone for enjoying it or Verdict day. I just can't help hating it.

      Silent Line, other than the controls, isn't terrible, (and I started with AC3 which had the same controls and is less developed.) I've played nearly all of the games and by far I'd say that Last Raven is the most brutal. It's amazing, and is the first game in the series where you can permafly, (with the right build,) but FS had zero compunctions whatsoever about letting the AI cheat while not giving the player any similar options. ACSL (like ACVD) at least lets you train AI companions who can cheat right along with you.

    • @RamadaArtist
      @RamadaArtist 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      @@MalcadorGaming yeah AC6 does feel a lot like 4th gen. And 4th gen is probably the most approachable, (outside of Nexus,) for having both good controls and that Dark Souls flavor with complex combat that becomes quickly intuitive once you "git gud." 5th gen is more a mech simulator, and the customization plays an arguably bigger role than skill, (especially with the AI companions that you can customize in ACVD; which to this day I think is unparalleled in potential.)

    Personally, I loved ACV and VD. While you are not a NEXT, I have no problem with it. They are different from the previous gens and that how Armored Core became for the most part. Hence why the first 3 gens are now closely collectively called OldGen, Next is 4th Gen, then 5th Gen, and finally 6th gen.
    And yew, I do admit it is hard getting used to the mechanics. Ngl, still takes a while to change between scan and combat modes and the damn computer telling me every single time.
    As for the story, that I do agree that it really needed an email. Heck from what I heard, we had to use 5th gen art books as source materials. Though funny enough in the AC discord, some in 5th gen are split as they prefer ACV story over VD. Mostly due to taste, I take it.
    Honestly, due to how ACs in 5th gen are basicslly supped up Normals from 4th gen, it makes sense why they are weaker in general. And why in the multiplayer is more focus in teamwork.

    When people say gen 5 sucks because it's 'too slow and grounded', I say BUILD A LIGHT AND AERIAL AC THEN
    This isn't AC4A where every build from a light stickbug RJ through to a bulky tank all spend 90% of the mission in the air.
    Builds actually affect gameplay in gen 5 and if you want to go fast then you just build for going fast.

    hey so quick note to anyone here whos wanting a quick skim, ac5 is primarily a multiplayer game, and while verdict day still has online, its has several features geared for single player. so now that the servers are down, verdict day is almost just objectively better than 5
    i still enjoyed 5 a lot, even if the story missions are very much made for coop and a bit bs playing solo (and the final ultimate weapon is a pain and a half to acquire).
    really the worst part of 5 is that about half the content is multiplayer locked

    my first AC game was Last Raven. I had wanted an AC or mech warrior game when I was a kid, but somehow got Robotech for Gamecube instead one christmas... So it wouldnt be until years later that I finally got to try an AC game and that was Last Raven. while I got like 3 or 4 of the endings, there were some that just seemed brutally impossible and I clearly wasnt aware of how hard the fromsoft games were. I eventually just left it and kind of ignored AC for awhile, discounting it as a franchise with really cool customization but nigh unfun levels of difficulty lol. Instead Id play other mech games such as S.L.A.I., Dynasty Warriors Gundam (1 and 2), Hawken, and Front Mission evolved- which I really liked and that game gave me AC vibes without the hair pulling difficulty of an AC game- except it was really short. Fast forward to Elden Ring, and i really loved the hell out of that game. So much that when AC6 was revealed, I was ready to give AC another chance- and Im really glad I did, because AC6 was phenomenal.

    my fav thing about AC5 is the fact they added new functionality and mechanics that were much more refined in AC6. ACFA will always be my fav but AC6 was close. In AC6, they slowed down the ACs but not too much. you can still be pretty zippy with some light builds but it definitely feels more smooth and natural. I also like having the OPTION to opt for back weapons or use your back slots for secondary weapons to swap on the fly. Some of my builds where i put a secondary instead of a back weapon are really fun. Bullet ricocheted is a fun mechanic just for difficulty and build planning sake. Now, all of this was pretty bad in AC5 but im glad they didnt give up on these changes and features because they feel really good in AC6. I really hope gen 6 gets 2 games.

    I got into this series when it was dead because a deceased youtuber on Game Theory made a fundamental breakdown of the older series with 5 being my first AC game I played thinking this was a PS1/PS2 series that never reached the PS3. I had fun with it until the 3rd story mission with the 2.0 version to the train boss from the last mission(which goes for every boss fight with a 2.0 showing up the following mission). And I hated the antagonist for being a creation that loves to do chaos with no real motive for the player to want to fight him aside from just hating him(which kind of makes the player seem pathetic if the reason why we changed sides to fight the rebels was due to him insulting us in the first mission). Meanwhile the Order missions(imo isn't 83 since you might as well subtract the AC vs AC missions since that might as well be the arena fights) goes into Rosary's origin with the family she left along with a Human+ squad being lead by an AI to fight the player(with Verdic Day making that a bigger focus). I found that more palatable since we aren't placed on a pedestal of being the best with no real feeling of how since the order missions feel post story mission instead of having any narrative purpose through out the story mission.

    going to actually hard disagree on destroy being canon for 4A. while the cradle does look destroyed, that doesn't discount some sort of failure during the crash landing during ORCA. that, the space station workshop having normals flying outside, the fact that the towers are implied to be what the League used to go to space (and their lack of an appearance during 4A), and forgotten day basically saying that carol and chief were created by those in power during the last age (the League) to find a solution to humanity and left behind, pretty much all points to ORCA as being the canon ending. if destroy were canon, carol and chief wouldn't exist and there would be no space station or towers.

    Great video. I actually enjoyed V quite a lot for its extra-lengthy Story Missions alone. Not that the story itself was overly awesome or making much damn sense, but just the fact that you got checkpoints and workshop opportunities (and really needed to learn & attack many of the maps strategically, especially if striving to minimize workshop visits) made it stand far apart from any other Old Gen game. Unique moments like getting charged with the Mass Blade in the city underground was amazing. I was actually quite disappointed that VD removed the checkpoints & in-mission workshops, so even though I really like both 5th Gen, I liked V a little bit better overall for how much of a departure it truly was.

AC games are frequently VERY different from each other, even within the same generation, and what one person likes is gonna be dramatically different than someone else, a fact that can hugely change *which* of the more than a dozen of these games in particular that you actually prefer.
      The 5th gen games have a gritty realism aesthetic that's decidedly less Gundam-esque than some of their other entries, and personally, I much prefer that. Like, playing AC4 PvP competitively during the summer after it came out will always be a highlight of the series for me, but the vibe of ACVD is just everything I want from a Mecha game. It single-handedly saved me from the money pit that was my MWO addiction, and that's including the fact that I bought two entire PS3s in the process.

    Here's my short answer to the story:
    In Armored core 4, corporations become too powerful and use machines that pollute the world and make it inhabitable.
    In AC:FA the rich people escape the earth for the cosmos using the Towers, the ones that didn't launch hold plenty of weapons. Before leaving the rich people made a huge AI network supercomputer and told it to make humanity stop fighting and then left without care.
    In AC5 the AIs from the supercomputer become more rogue and instead just make humanity mess around and they just make sure humanity isn't wiped out, until a man called isaac meets one of the AIs and they let him become a computerised/digitised human and work for them. Isaac basically wants to see humanity all die because everyone in his home was killed by kojima radiation.
    In AC:VD isaac becomes the foundation spokesperson and basically tries to escalate humanity into constant war.

Honestly however, I think as much the others have a more compelling story across the board, VD's is different enough to have made its mark quite well. I don't mean that in a passing remark, this is a story of being in the shadow of titans! How much more cool can it get when you 'were' one of those titans something 300 years ago I think. A shame I only have experience with FoR as I have been following these games for a while even if only for their designs. As a FromSoft fan in general and a mecha fan- as well someone who loves more dark storylines, very much was drawn to this game series the moment I learned of it.

      You might also find out that the fanbase for them is toxic and that they talk down to and insult people who don't like what is essentially the Armored Core version of Dark Souls 2, while also talking smack about the games people actually like (AC4/FA and AC6) and those who enjoy them.

    AC5, its actually the 1st game I bought when I got my hand on XBOX360, I remember struggling the 1st mission. I thought I was buying the game from where the white AC strapped with so much rocket attacking giant walking fortress.
    also I never knew verdict day ever existed until years later, like 10 years later.

    I grew up playing armored core and while I might not like the latest game that much the other games are still a solid 7/8 out of ten for me I always did like it and always did my best to show support for armored core it honestly hurts me how people have simply cast it aside for so long....

    ACV had the strongest opening for me in the franchise. Granted, while I am a long time AC fan i was not able to keep up with the series for the most part, so I only got to play V long after the servers shut down, and didn't even know of the online only aspects of the game until later.
    That said, while I admit I like some bad games, I honestly find little legitimately bad about V. Some stuff could be better, but between its aesthetic, the best general movement of the series, a re emphasis on legs changing movement after Gen 4, and hands down several of mu favorite levels of any AC game, seeing V being called "the bad one" had been weird for me to see.

    So I'm sure I'm not the first to say it, but AC1, ACPP, ACMA, AC2 and AC2AA are all in the same continuity with the implication that you fight the player character from MA as the boss in AC2 as well as a rebuilt/replica of Nine-Ball Seraph in AC2AA.

    The fact that this was after AC 4 where technologies were deteriorated from the genocide ending by the Player.
    People were settled with the slower AC (but its actually just an MT that was improved to be like the First Generation Gundam kind of movement) after what the Kojima Particles did previously.
    Which explains why it feels more grounded than the previous titles.
    Intro gave a lot of hints from Tanks to Long range builds (artillery ACs) on what the ACs would be at first gameplay.
    In all honesty we need another Grounded AC game or a spin off featuring a grunt (like Roach in COD) that can handle like the Ravens but in a weaker mech (the MT)
