The hardest fight I've had on NG+ by a mile is G4 Volta, because he's in a tanky AC that has both a zimmerman and a songbird, which instantly makes him more dangerous than like 90% of other AC fights in the game so far.

NG++ Oh gently caress this fight. Almost got that loser Iguazu down on my first try with my mobility loadout but couldn't hold out AP wise. Tried again with ol' reliable facemelt and it felt like the game changed it's tactics based on what I brought that time because the spiders just ran away and fired from a long distance between doing dual spinny lazer poo poo eating me up. And then I ran out of chaingun ammo at the end and still couldn't convert it. I've burned through the levels from chapter 2 to here all day so I probably just need to take a break.

I'm not a fan of setpiece bosses and was a bit bummed at first when I realized the ice worm was one but it won me over and it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as a cutscene. There are missions more tedious/boring I had to redo on the second and third loops I would've liked to skip before skipping that one. All or nothing.

I love the laser knife. Such a cool look whenever you finish an AC with the backhand stab.Happy Noodle Boy posted:I want to do an all lasers all the time run for NG+ after getting through NG with a combination of shotguns and dakka dakka machine guns. Also want to give tetra legs a good attempt since I focused on bipeds and tanks the first time around.

Ng+ got V.II snail down. Dude was a chump once I switched to a bubble gun and just stun needled him to death. Going against Walter now and goddamn is he tough. His giant melee attacks are annoying af and seem impossible to dodge. Game good af tho. Excited to get into ng++ soon!

You know, something I haven't seen praised enough is the starting mech. I should clarify. It's not that it's an amazing design for use in the game. Only a couple parts make the grade for general use, and the overall stats are middling if you're feeling generous. But that's part of why it's so good. The initial AC in Fires of Rubicon feels great to use, with fast recharge, decent boosting, and enough firepower to quickly drop mooks. The design is recognizable, and in general, it's not a chore to use it. But it also has so many areas where it can improve that buying gear is exciting, and the core can take most basic changes to the loadout without breaking, allowing you to start building "your" design right from completing the second mission. AC4's options might have let you start with something better, but it also asks the player to commit to a style before knowing how things work. AC6's starter is maybe the best as a starter in the whole series, giving something useful enough to use without being too useful to discard.

Sindai posted:I love the laser knife. Such a cool look whenever you finish an AC with the backhand stab. Another great feature about the laser knife. That guy everybody is complaining about, G4 Volta, cannot deal with you getting all up in his business with constant melee attacks. Granted, I reserved enough weight to rain down Songbirds from above, but that's kind of the key. That enemy can't dodge very well. Carve him up like a roast turkey, you won't be taking any shots while he's in ACS overload.

I think people assume it's a gear progression game and move off the starter asap.

God drat I love this game. I've been taking my time with it (that's what I do with games I don't want to spoil for myself super quickly) and am only in Chapter 3 but I loving love it. From just doesn't miss, god drat. And it keeps so much of the original Armored Core vibes. It's nearly perfect, I even like the story and the general vibe. I had been running a tetrapod build with songbirds and various guns but I've just switched to an almost all Elcano light build, and man it's way more fun imo. Especially normal missions, hovering is okay but having massive dodges, huge jumps and still packing dual long range shotguns and shoulder laser cannons? Yes please. It's just a more fun, risky way to play the game that really tests your ability. Heavy ACs with tank treads are way OP, frankly. I did want to ask something. I'm not on NG+ like y'all still going through it slowly and pretty sure I opened my first chest in a mission just recently. I didn't even know there were chests. Are the chests worth it? Like is there gear in there that is worth having and using? Should I just look up the missions that have chests and go find them brand engager posted:I think people assume it's a gear progression game and move off the starter asap. Yeah that's one interesting but unintuitive thing about the game. Just because some new weapons become available in a new chapter doesn't in any way mean those weapons are better than the ones at the start.

 My RaD themed NG+ quad. Went medium weight bird leg in Normal so I wanted a big chunky dude with explosions and I love Carla and RaD so I'm real happy with how it turned out. Missile swarms from the right shoulder and left gun with enough delay to gently caress with enemy's dodge, minigun for constant pressure and Earshot because I loving love Earshot, goddamn. Quad legs are super satisfying and look drat cool which is the real reason to use them. Next run is with a superlight bird and melee fun.

Googling AC6 hidden parts gives you multitudes of webpages that can show you where each chest is. Most are like not missable because they are in quite obvious spots, but there are a few tricky ones. Also I just slammed both enforcer missions and both IBIS missions for S ranks  I am the perfect mercenary

beat ng+, so I've done both endings I could have: the second last missions for both go hard, I love them teaming up with rusty while his kickass theme blasts, beating up snail, awesome but infinite boosting to take out a whole fleet in space while Carla zaps them with a big laser and keeps score, so cool, and then having a rematch with rusty, big feels just incredible set pieces liberator's final boss is cooler aesthetically, but fire's final boss is a better fight though somewhat repeating the chapter 4 boss a bit

I kinda wish we got more non-AC style bosses. Seemed like the game frontloaded them. Later on it's mostly ACs or bosses that are basically souped up ACs.
