Something to note, the 1.6 regulation of Armored Core 4 for Xbox 360 has been converted to work on PS3 by the community, and is included in the community recommended emulation packages. Great video! Hopefully we can get you on some PC PvP sometime soon :sus:
It's in the discord, go to the Pinned messages in the 4th gen chat and a set up guide with the Reg files should be there. Its usage is for either the emulated version or a homebrew PS3 for Armored Core 4 specifically, so keep that in mind
I personally love how ac4a took everything ac4 did and turn it up to 11. speed? crank that up and let the player FEEL the acceleration. Arena? make it more linear and make it slowly ramp up in difficulty instead of whatever ac4's arena was. gotta be my favorite ac game gameplay wise (FoR comes close though)
i was wondering why this came up bc i dont remember subscribing until i saw the thumbnails on your other videos and remembered you're the AC super-video essay guy LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 4AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I got into armored core quite recently, after I found out about armored core 6. I've always wanted a good mecha game, especially after watching a few gundam series but I could never seem to find any. Well, that is until now. I really like FA, I went into it just for the gundamesk mecha power fantasy but ended up getting more invested than I thought, the same with Armored core 6 As well. Its nice seeing so many people making content about armored core 4, it's kinda weird cause the videos never seem to get that many views, but that's not the purpose. This is clearly a passion project. I get the feeling you could make videos on more popular topics and get way more views, your voice sounds pretty well fitted for this kind of content. Really hate that white glint boss fight tho, I still can't beat it on hard, I guess Ill have to change my build, but idk.
I’m glad you can tell that this is a passion project, I put like over 4 months of myself into this video, and I’m eternally glad that people like the end result, even though I mainly make stuff because I like making said stuff lol ^_^
Posted this video RIGHT on my current 4th gen wave I’ve been on. Just picked myself up an Ambient model kit, I couldn’t be more ready to sit down for a two hour essay as I get to building 🫡
The quality and effort is DRIPPING from this video. Having binged all of your AC videos, Im impressed to see your increase in video editing skill. Good luck to your future projects, and GODSPEED!
As always, you always deliver with your commentary. I love seeing your interpretation and this generation is no stranger as it's one of my favorites. I really appreciate the dedication you put into these videos and it really shows how passionate you are about this series! I also appreciate the summation you gave for the story as sometimes I got caught up in all the action. There's so much nuance and intrigue in this game and I'm glad you made those connections. Love the comedic beats like pointing out the pizza guy 😂 keep up the amazing work and I look forward to your next video, Brooke.
For Answer is genuinely one of my favorite games of all time and I’m so happy you were able to do it and 4 justice. Every single person ever should watch this video.
WE'RE MAKING IT OUT OF ANATOLIA WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🗣 4th gen is an era of armored core that I rlly want to return to (though Im too busy with Portable 3). I never really messed with hard mode outside of a few missions in each but playing an entire campaign in that difficulty comes off as being more rewarding than I thought. Especially since I always loved the worldbuilding in 4 particularly. It also took a while playing through both games to like how it felt to control compared to old gen and didnt mess around with builds till late game 4A sadly. Though for now I think PvP has helped remedy that mistake
OMG HACHI!! Hi! It's good to see you! Yeah the hard mode owns! It really made me appreciate the builds I had to make in both games, although later For Answer has some tough moments in a standard run. I need to get on that PvP...
4v4? I was all about that 7v1. Sonic Boom and I became unstoppable until I lost internet access for a while due to living situations changing. I miss those days, and I cant help but feel like I never got to finish what I started. But... I will never forget that feeling. The feeling of falling into grace
I love the chaos of FFA matches, its always such a blast. I get the unstable internet access thing, I didn't have good enough access until well after the game was in its twilight years, so I never really ever got to play natural online. However if you have a decent PC, on the newest build of RPCS3 you can actually play online again! Co-op, Trading and Ranked all work! I know its not the glory days, but the game remains semi active on the AC discord, they have matches like every day if you're ever curious to jump in
@@CinnamonLyn Im actually in an AC Discord. They play on emulators, but sadly I can't play it because my PC isn't up to spec. I'd love to play it again some day and show you what speed is. Though there are pilots that have achieved higher speeds now. I do have a video on my channel showcasing my speed if you wanna check it out. It's my most popular video to date
The story of AC4 is "lacking" beacuse the translation was poorly made, a lot of things got cut, if I'm not mistaken, you should've been talking with O'brien through the radio way earlier in the game and a lot of details of the lore probably are talked about too, but... It is what it is and we should at least be Grateful that the same didn't happen to FA
I don’t remember hearing any extra dialogue in my JP playthrough, but I did play it a few months ago, so my memory could be fuzzy. While extra dialogue might help, I feel like my criticisms of the story would still be valid, but don’t take the vid as gospel. This video is just my opinion after all ^_^
I did some research! (Val told me lmfao) Both versions had a ton of voiced content cut, so both versions are lacking a lot of that detail. It’s a shame, cause some of it is pretty cool
I've gotta say something in defense for the first ending. We didn't serve the corporations, we opposed them and after the battle us alongside Wynne D were executed by them, whatever future the stars might have hold I won't pave the way with the blood of innocents and thus I choose to die fighting for mankind, It might have been selfish but it is my answer.
I appreciate the different perspective about the League ending. While it’s in service for the corporations and I could never choose because of that, I get why one would choose it as sacrificing so many lives is such a horrific action, as much as I call Wynne D deluded in the video her character does make sense
@@CinnamonLyn I guess it's just as thermidor said, those cowardly ideals will cause the downfall of humanity. The corporations benefiting from that choice is a byproduct, but the same could be argued for the orca ending. Only difference is what you stand for
AC6 is the most accessible and watered-down entry in the Armored Core franchise, and yet people STILL complain about its difficulty lmao. Imagine if FromSoft made it have the same depth as the older games.
Listen, they’re still fun! Try to avoid plasma back weapons and you should be okay, they can tank the frame rate to single digits. If you got the games for a good price then that’s still pretty cool! Have fun with them! ^_^
Thanks, don't worry... I've already built a mech which uses dual energy rifles, so I hope it is fine. On the other hand, what about the For Answer regulations for US PS3? Can I get em if my console isn't modded?
@@sailent4825 you’re good on those! The updates had parity on both consoles, it’s actually more accessible on ps3 for For Answer cause you don’t need to buy Xbox Live Gold to download them, the PS3 had free online! It should just be a pop up when you boot the game if you’re connected to the internet c:
I genuinely don’t know why siding with Old King is a choice so many people hate. With the way humanity is going in the game, and to an extent irl, we’re just gonna repeat the cycle of destruction. Why not give it a jumpstart? My answer is clear. And if y’all really think about it deep within yourselves, you’ll see yours matches mine.
Because the Orca path allows for a cycle break, freedom so humanity can continue without total destruction. Planting the seeds for the next generation, so that they can continue living, because life is precious. Why condemn everyone to an early death? Who is anyone to decide other peoples fates? This is a really doomer take, I hope you view the real world with more hope than the world of For Answer.
I think FA comes off as cynical enough to where I understand that sentiment. When you consider that ORCA in some way was compromised by Omer, which by far is the most sinister corporation to date it doesnt paint nessicarily a bright future. Orca also comes off as a bit hypocritical getting on old kings case when their plan will likely kill tens of millions while not nessicarily getting their hands dirty. These reasons are why Old King rebukes them in the final mission when he asks why they deserve to "choose who lives or who dies." In that sense it's a more nuanced version of Nexus' ending. In where unlike in its conclusion you're not being strung along. Doomed to follow the money trail to your death and causing a massive catastrophe beyond your imagination. You have actual agency and refuse corporations like Omer the chance to potentially poison whatever the future might hold. Though with that said I think this describes the grip I have with FA endings in that while each route does a solid job at painting a broader picture of FA's near un salvageable world, they're almost all so bleak (outside of Orca ending kinda) in retrospect that it's hard for care for what they embody ideologically. Which is one thing I think ACVI definitely improves on in my opinion
Only partway through so far, but really good video. Glad I found this channel, planning on watching the rest of your vids sequentially once I finish this one. Out of curiosity, what did you use to play the games? Emulation? If so, what did you use for each game? I'm looking to play older AC games but am unfortunately not very tech savvy so I'm trying to find the best avenues to do so with.
I mainly played the console versions cause I owned them from way back when, but Duckstation for PS1 and PCSX2 for the PS2 games run great for every AC game on those platforms. I actually cover the options for 4th gen near the end of the video, and that same advice applies to 5th gen as well! Hope this helps, thanks for the compliments c:
man I wanna play these 2 games so bad, sad that they're so rare. yeah I know there are, ahem, "other" ways of getting access to them, but with these 2 games it's a bit harder than with everything from AC 1 thru Last Raven
7th gen emulation straight up runs on my Steam Deck, you might be surprised what you can get away with. But yeah, these games deserve to be more accessible and it’s a shame they are so spendy. They didn’t used to be! I bought my current copy in like mid 2018 for like 5 dollars, it just ballooned in price because of the existence of AC VI. But that’s another topic for another day c:
Something to note, the 1.6 regulation of Armored Core 4 for Xbox 360 has been converted to work on PS3 by the community, and is included in the community recommended emulation packages. Great video! Hopefully we can get you on some PC PvP sometime soon :sus:
do you know where I can find the regulation 1.6?
It's in the discord, go to the Pinned messages in the 4th gen chat and a set up guide with the Reg files should be there. Its usage is for either the emulated version or a homebrew PS3 for Armored Core 4 specifically, so keep that in mind
Inveigh is everywhere
Inveigh when he smells the potential to market 4th gen pvp:

Yeah ACfA and its game feel just own, it’s such a comfort food game for me to just munch on every once and a while
that scene where that next went "Aaaaahhhhh!" i thought he was going super Saiyan or something lol.

Hey don’t know if your privy to this but the reg your fighting glint on plays a major role on the difficulty with regulation 1.0 being the most so
Posted this video RIGHT on my current 4th gen wave I’ve been on.
Just picked myself up an Ambient model kit, I couldn’t be more ready to sit down for a two hour essay as I get to building 🫡
Yoooo! I need to pick up an AC model kit, if only they weren't so expensive... good luck! ^_^
Super proud of you :) amazing work getting this one out, Lyn
Thanks so much!! You’re the best, thanks for making the video way better
Can’t wait for the most underrated gen NEXT time (I’m so so sorry for that pun)
This pun is fiiiiine, you’re good lmao
5th gen is so good, I hope to do it justice
