AC2 was the first in the series I really sat down and played. I had the AC1 demo but never found an actual copy of the game til years later. I remember crashing it one time with 2 missile boats in versus. Silent Line remains the best game in the series, but 2 was a great place to start. You should show off how broken the EWR-L24 is if you can aim it. I setup proper right analog aiming in PCSX2 last year and just shredded everything with it. Also the EWX-VLS241, the only missiles anyone ever needs unless the map has really low ceilings. Get a bomb dispenser and kill someone in the arena by making GBS threads on them. Maybe try to avoid leaning too hard on God's One True Handed-Down-On-The-Mountain FCS: the LODD-BLAZER. The flamethrower is neither the worst weapon, nor is its damage bad. It's the highest dps by a wide margin and isn't nearly as hard to hit with as the bomb dispensers. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 14:10 on Feb 7, 2016 |

In AC3 all you need to trivialize basically every match is a chaingun and flamer in the Parking Garage. The AI is too stupid to not back itself into a corner and get in a damage race that's 100% impossible to win.

The stock core in this game is seriously underrated. It has the best antimissile system and a very efficient overboost that's over 100 km/h faster than the other medium core. Core antimissiles are really good in general, because they'll fire again if they miss, unlike the extensions.

I'm pretty sure the SPGUN is the only good slug gun in the history of the series. Every since they've all been too slow, too heavy, and way too much spread to do anything. Showing Werehound what real weapon arms are  Chainguns and machine gun arms are some of the few parts that got major buffs in the next game. They just don't have the dps you'd think they would.

I might like them if they had about double the fire rate. A gun that weak and gimmicky has no right being drastically slower than a grenade launcher.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:I will stand by my position that the flamethrower is the worst thing ever to the death, and beyond that. I'm pretty sure you're just getting your mechanics mixed up with Nexus, where it is indeed loving awful. It's too awkward and heavy to really use in the gen 2 games but 3's left arm flamer is terrifying despite having stats copied straight out of AA except for weight. For 2 games it's a strong contender for best in slot then From fucks it up again  Even in gen 2, it's still not worse than the inside turd bombs.I'm also down for nerding out on Skype about this poo poo.

IronSaber posted:Wait a dang second. You're telling me if you spend too much, the game will dump you into some kind of New Game+ with enhanced abilities? It's really something you're unlikely to do unintentionally. You don't pay repair or ammo costs for failed missions so your only option is to win missions using weapons with ridiculous ammo costs.

Can real FCS data for the gen 2 games even be found these days? I went trawling through a bunch of Japanese wikis and can only find full FCS specs starting with AC3. Last I knew you couldn't even find that much in English without somehow stumbling upon an old google page I tossed up for it years ago so I wouldn't have to find it again. Also, the heavy bazooka is butt. The lighter of the 2 is pretty good, since it has special lock instead of ND. Gen 2 is really bitchy about giving narrow and deep weapons decent FCS boxes, so it's just not fun to use. Your favorite booster might as well be the only booster in AC2. The 2 stronger ones are bugged and don't actually make you go faster. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Feb 15, 2016 |

chitoryu12 posted:I can't remember, is it possible to build a pastiche of the Guntank from the original Mobile Suit Gundam? Dual rocket arms with dual giant shoulder cannons and tank treads. It's been so long I can't remember if there were rocket arms. Not rocket arms but MoA had bazooka arms that looked a lot like the Guntank's arms. AC3, as well.  All the regular cannons fold up so I used slug guns. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Feb 21, 2016 |

The consensus has always been that precision affects how long it takes to double lock. The Japanese term is something like "precision processing speed". You just about have to take every fcs/weapon lock type combo separately in AC2 because there are so many weird exceptions that there really are no rules. Trial and error is all you really have to go on.

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought it was. Dancouga. Wouldn't exactly say I'm a fan but it's pretty nice in SRW games. Actually, I'm pretty sure its only fans are people who only know it from SRW. The show itself is pretty dull and the title robot doesn't show up til like 30 episodes in. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 14:19 on May 9, 2017 |

I feel like a normal person would do alright if they were given something with a lot more burst damage instead of trying to plink for an hour with a rifle. My first Nineball Seraph kill used grenade arms and didn't take that many attempts.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:I mean, yes, big a big enough gun to any fight and you can trivialize it, but that's not really my goal. I'll show it off, but I'd rather explain the mechanics and show an example of doing things without necessarily assuming the foresight to know you've got a big tanky boss coming up, so grab the heavyweight and load up on grenades. Just like in the snowfield mission where I brought a missileboat to a distinctly missile unfriendly mission. Yeah, but that's you and throwing someone into that fight sight unseen with a rifle and useless missile launcher is just mean.

The best part about Nineball Seraph is that his energy defense is completely absurd so if you're the Karasawa addict you've been trained to be he's drat near impossible.

Crazy Achmed posted:Holy poo poo, I can't hit anything with rockets, ever. Well done. The controls at this point in the series really don't like precision aiming, so don't feel bad. Last time I played through one did some custom binds in PCSX2 to let me do proper right stick aiming and it makes rockets broke as hell.
