Armored core series overview (PS1)

like and comment

This was awesome dude thank you!

As a newcomer to the series who is hyped for VI, thank you very much, even when I had ps3 the games went by me, and now I am catching up, thanks to you.

Looking back at this, yeah that was a real leak huh 😅

No idea how your channel hasn't blown up with the AC6 announcement! Fingers crossed for you man, you're putting in the work!

human plus is intended as handicap for players that are having trouble with the game's difficulty, new players shouldn't use it if they don't have to

"why is there a bridge if the water is knee-high"
on a giant mech-suit.

For the armored core 1 endings you have to side with one corporation and the ending for the other corp changes, but the final true ending is the same always.

regarding the fight with carson and its AI.

carson primarily focuses on dodging / getting away from you, until at least one of your weapons has fully depleted its ammo. at which point they become hyper aggressive with their weapons, as indicated by their description. "waits patiently for his opponent to expend all their ammo, then attacks". the issue though is that the fight will usually be ended before running out of ammo on any weapons, and indoors arenas make their defensive play style fall apart quick.

can verify the ai works like that from my own experience running out of mortar ammo on them

I really enjoyed this video, thanks!

I just finished all the ac games today and personally I didn't find the finger to be that loud at all but I'm glad it was nerfed in master of arena as it actually gave me a reason to use the karasawa again

Nothing wrong with eliminating squatters 👌

To anyone getting into the series or otherwise playing the ps1 AC games, I highly suggest playing without H+ for your first playthrough. While the games aren't generally difficult, it does make it more of an honest challenge. The arena is 2-3x more difficult to clear if you don't have access to H+ if only for the reduced boost cost.

Oh, and one thing that was missed is that you can ignore weight limits if you've cleared a certain percentage of the first game and carries over if you use that save file. I'm not sure what the percentage is.

I loved the 1st one, I had the demo on a Ps1 disc somewhere. I never heard about Project Phantasma or Master of Arena !
Then I bought every Ps2 Armored Core games. I still have them :)
Also Armored Core 4 on Ps3, but I don't even remember playing it. How funny.
Thank you for this series, I'm looking forward to watch all of it !

Please note that this video is the 2nd of your playlist, while Armored Core 2 is before it.

keep it up

Stinger:I have been defeated, but I cant fall here

Bruh, it's ok to play with human plus if you like and you are having fun with it, but it's not ok to complain about "easy final boss fights" if you are playing in the handicap babymode

The best way to gain debt in armored core 1 is to finish the few first missions and then fail worker robot removal by blowing up all the generators and killing yourself in the process

Imported save with H+ + Overweight override = FUN

Wait how's "demonstrating" bad translation? Demonstrating is another word for protesting.
Also, the water is knee high for your mech but that would still halt cars and wheel-based traffic.

This was what I was looking for when it comes to a review. I get a clear picture of the game and its story. Yours is the best one so far. I tried a couple others, but they either waxed poetic about the game play only, or droned through the story element in such a way that I couldn't properly feel like I understood it.

Thanks.

The "Human +" concept had been retaken into AC6, it renamed as "Augmented Human".

Rewatching this series after beating ac6

I love how gritty and hard the PS1 games were.

advocating for human+ means you're bad at the game. I'm like 4 minutes in and this is just dogshit.

What is the opening song

The part at the end about having difficulty playing older 3D games makes a lot of sense to me. To be honest though, having just finished AC1 I find it holds up really well. The formula is bang on the same as gen 2 and 3 and the game feel is still really solid. One of the easiest old 3D games for me to go back to

About all three games, the story was in the manual you were supposed to read.

I really enjoy Master of Arena, because I'm from ps1 era and I really want to come back to finish the second disk. I started with no experience in AC franchise (and no Project Phantasma save) and it was really fun.
The only other AC that I played was Formula Front, it's super cool, if foi nave time to test all IA experiments, but when you try to control yourswlf, the PSP controls are a barrier to me (playing on emulator).

I was VERY SICK playing these around 2000 Almost died and remember every mission ALMOST

i don't understand how you killed nine ball ceraph that easely, for me he was flying around super quick, nearly instakilling me with he's blade and tanking pretty good my weapon attack

I loved all 3 of these games as a kid. My brother had an original PlayStation and these were the only ones I ever played. It's been over twenty years since i've picked up a controller.

If you start master of arena with a fresh save file instead of importing you actually get a cutscene explaining how nineball killed your family. no idea why that gets cut out when you do the option probably like 90% of the people who bought this game did

Lightweight plane... Cracked me up 😂

If you were curious enough to start fresh in MoA then the beginning of the story would not be as confusing and entering the official arena is not possible without a sponsor idk why.

A big theory is that ac1 and acmoa events happen simultaneously or almost at the same time

Did you pilot the Vixen ac for most of the time here?

Its insane how FromSoft came from Kingsfield with ultra slow, barely able to walk and attack beyond the scope of slowmotion. To this fast paced semi large levels action shooter with flying robots. Its on the same freaking system FFS! Its like a Calculator manufacturer suddenly develops NASA Quantum Computers... thats just wild.
