Can't believe I missed this coming out, I'll probably go pick it up tomorrow for PS3. Gotta get my robot fix.

Store didn't have it so I'm still downloading it. Also I don't have a mic (yet).

e: There's no way it's going to be done so I'm just going to leave it on overnight and pick up a mic tomorrow after work. Hopefully I can plow through enough of the story that I have the money for a decent build before the end of tomorrow.

Also, I got to the final boss and it kinda blew my mind a little. It's The White Glint. And you have to fight him in an ACV-era AC. He towers over you and your guns can't even penetrate his kojima shield. Also a remix of Remember plays during the fight. Holy gently caress that's fantastic.

His intro cutscene is basically the AC4A opening. :allears: Phase 2 is horeshit though. I feel like it's probably going to be as bad as that last 5 v 2 in AC4A on Hard.

I would help and bring a giga missile, but unfortunately I played V on 360 and my 360 broke so I don't have any of my old parts.

They did a good job of making operator really fun to play and there are some really cool support setups you can make, so it's pretty easy to be helpful to your team even if you haven't played a lot.

Also is it just me or is one of the maps basically just the Spirit of Motherwill's wreck?

hail satan

Driving the autocannon bus is super fun so I think I'll try to refine a good build for tank legs. Also I need to get a better mic so I can hear what's going on without pressing it into my ear.

More people should get online and play world matches with us!

I just joined the Goonal Cortex. I haven't really played an AC game since AC 4 though. Any general pointers on balanced mech building? Someone below mentioned KE weapons but are there any other good ideas for beginners?

The easiest general way to think of things is like a rock paper scissors game, where you can only really have high defense against one thing. Most of the defense comes from the legs and then the core, so you can usually tell by sight what someone will be weak to.

Tanks and heavy bipeds are strong against TE, quads and reverse joints are strong against CE, and medium or light bipeds are strong against KE. If you want something balanced, bring weapons so you can cover one of each damage type. Medium bipeds are still the easiest to play, while I think quads are probably the hardest now. Tank legs are really good now because you can run dual autocannons and shred most people, but they're one of those deals that's easy to learn but hard to master.

The last boss drops one of each ultimate weapon so we'll usually farm him with dual autocannon tanks. (dual autocannons own)

Other than that, it's a lot harder to make a straight up bad AC with all the rebalancing that they did. Stick with your team and focus fire on someone they're shooting at and you'll be better than 50% of the people playing the game.

ACVD Link is pretty cool. Made it to C rank thanks to a bad French team. :toot:

It doesn't seem to put out the damage I was hoping for. Was using a KE rifle and a kurasawa a bad plan?

Rifle + Kurasawa is good, but Kurasawa + Kurasawa + Energy Amp is horseshit. You can almost one shot anyone you hit with that.

Too bad they're all lovely UNAC kills that I stole.

Light RJs are amazing so I think I'm going to split my time between those and tank builds.

hahaha oh god I just got picked up by some random F- new guy with a junk mech who happened to pick two other really good mercs. We then got matched up against an SSS team and completely murdered them.

Mercenary mode is the best.

I've got a gigantic horrible final coming up on Tuesday so I probably won't be on until after that.
