The only thing I would add is that while Silent Line is basically "3 but more," I think it's better appreciated coming off the back of 3. Whether or not the difficulty curve intends you to have imported your AC3 save, or is perfectly balanced to come in fresh to, the sheer fact that you *can* carry over your ACs and money means a lot to the discussion. If SL is the victory lap, 3 is the race that earned it, the context that allows SL to shine. That's why I'd personally put 3 at the top with SL just behind it in second place, because I feel like part of SL's value hinges on 3's existence. I never had the patience to beat either of them back when I owned them, but the beginning of SL on a fresh save definitely felt harder to me than the beginning of 3. And importing even a midgame save from 3 into SL made SL considerably more enjoyable for me, being able to rack up credits across both games to be able to get into experimenting with builds and using expensive gear quicker, and having an easier time with SL's missions by virtue of already having a decent mech build from the previous game (and having had the time to get experience with the gameplay). Importing a completed AC3 save into SL may or may not kind of ruin part of the experience (I can't speak to that, again, never finished either game), but the save import almost gives you a granular difficulty slider in SL (depending on how far along in an AC3 playthrough you decide to import from), which might make SL more approachable to more people.

thank you for this overview of Armored Core. one small observation though, regarding the Armored Core 2 mission you criticized, if you press select, the automap does indicate where exactly each little box is located, with a big "TARGET" indicator for each one. this may depend on the kind of AC Head you have equipped though, but, thankfully, mine did include that information haha. also, is David Hayter in Nexus? it sure as hell sounds like him in the opening cinematic saying the title of the game, might just be me though.

I just completed AC4 and I really feel what you said about about it relying on some of the series duller tropes. There were so many missions that were just some slight variation on "kill these normals" or "shoot this stationary object until it explodes". Also, compared to AC3, AC4's missions also lack the imaginative twists and suprises that made missions in that game memorable. For example, there is an AC3 mission where you are tasked by a company to route a squad of MTs, only to be betrayed by the AC you were assigned with because the mission was actually a trap designed to kill you. I can not think of a single AC4 mission that had anywhere near such a dramatic twist, at least not on normal difficulty.

It looks fantastic so far, but obviously we don’t know much yet. The AC designs seem very traditional, more reminiscent of Gen 2 and 3 than I expected, with some flavors of For Answer. Speed looks like it will be a big focus, weapon variety seems strong so far, and large scale bosses will probably be better than ever since From has gotten so much experience in boss design over the years. Plus, it just looks like a very pure armored core experience. It seems like they are focusing on sticking to what worked in the past and modernizing it, so I look forward to seeing more.

I gotta say, while there hasn't been an AC game that I've outright hated, Last Raven was definitely the one I enjoyed the least. Yeah, it's more challenging. In the same way that playing chess against someone that got to move their pieces wherever the fuck they wanted while you had to play by the standard rules would be more challenging. There wasn't a single mission that I had any desire to play a second time. I just ran through the Arena, finished the story once and put the game down. More obnoxious than fun, at least for me.

LR is pretty tough overall, but the saving grace is that it has multiple story routes of varying difficulty, and it's one of the few oldgen games with proper dual stick controls. As an AC vet it's my personal favourite, but I can certainly imagine it being hard to get into if you don't have AC designing and piloting experience from previous games. I'd personally recommend starting with AC1 or AC3 as an entry point, but ACLR is doable.

Bueno, sé que es tarde, pero mi primer Armored Core jugado fue el mismo Last Raven, me vicie al punto en que no pude parar hasta que me hice los 6 finales, se que hay un final extra pero ese lo ví por KZitem y es básicamente tu siendo un MT vs un NEXT, por tanto no quería morir de estrés, igual he disfrutado ese juego como ningún otro, y la manera en que se maneja la campaña me parece perfecta, cada final te hace buscar saber acerca del que sigue, por qué sucede esto? Que estoy buscando? Y todo, en tan solo 24 horas. Una obra maestra, que sinceramente me costó volver a juegos más antiguos, incluso al 3, simplemente pq me acostumbré al menú de LR y se me hacía tedioso esa manera de hacer misiones. Lo volvería a jugar? Probablemente sí, pero tengo que darme un tiempo para volver. Obra maestra

I cleared every collared fight in 4A before finishing chapter 1 by just picking the Sunshine as my starter and replacing its guns with the baby's first chain guns you can buy in the shop.
