#armored core 4

[ember-amber]

Okay since I'm already thinking about mecha, here's something I would really like from the next armored core game.

Simplicity.

Some of the most enjoyable and immersive times I've had in armored core were in ac3 in the garage, thinking about my mech.

There I was not a puppet in some guy's great plan to burn a planet, or a rebel, or the protector of a whole city, I was just a simple mercenary struggling to make do in a corporate dystopia. I'd be brought along to such plots eventually, but at the start I was completely by myself.

Imagining my character browsing the parts shop on her phone, sitting inside her mech eating a meal with it parked in the garage, drooling at the sight of one of the weapons available and then complaining about the price. Just a short little roleplaying moment that I found fun, you know?

this is how NEXTs work

One thing about NEXTs is that their operation is in theory not even that polluting.

In Armored Core 4 there are a few missions where you are not to contaminate the area with kojima particles, either because your client asked or because you are literally fighting in your home.So what do you do?

You turn off Primal Armor. That's it, that's all it takes. Any other exhaust from the next is either nonexistent or completely negligible

It feels so fucking insulting. All that radiation for a stupid force field around the robot.

The worst part is that weapons have advanced to such a point that Primal Armor is needed to not get shredded. Kojima technology has been added to the corporate arms race and it cannot be removed, every weapon is now made with the intent of piercing PA, imagine what they'll do if you turn it off.

Come Armored Core:For Answer and there isn't a single mission where you turn off primal armor. Everything is ruined anyways, no one cares anymore. It's also my headcanon that all that added speed and the alleged "advancement" of the NEXTs is just the manufacturers no longer having to make them passably enviromentally friendly.

These new mechs probably spew out particles with every boost, who cares.

Slapped together this big girl after a couple days.

Painting her all up is going to be a bitch but it'll be just another FromSoft(tm) experience except in real life.
