The Fastest Game You Haven't Played Armored Core: For Answer

4A is peak Armored Core. AC6 is technically superior, but 4A will always be my favorite game.

You got me at the historically accurate giant enemy crab.

in Armored Core For Answer, you do not try to line up your crosshair on a target, you try to keep a target within your field of view.

The boss simulator..... abandon soul, embrace hollow, embrace speed, become melania and nineball for ye shall be the crimson king, abandon flesh, become the gatekeeper, rain blood from the cradles.... Oh primal armors depleted- Ahhh sh*t I ran out of ammo- * DIES*

I always find it funny when bosses fall off the map. I imagine they say "You can't kill me if I kill myself first!".

Another great thing about 4A is the DEBT system. Ammo costs money. AC repairs cost money. Parts costs are determined by how new and available they are (lore-wise), and some are more costly to purchase and repair than others.* Mercenary partners cost money, and you share in both rewards AND expenses. *Look at OMER parts. LAHIRE is their latest model, so parts cost more but have the stats to show it. HOWEVER, they also guzzle more fuel and needs a skilled pilot with a lot of AMS points to make them work. *In contrast, Rayleonard parts are old yet "high performance". But since the company is dead due to events of AC4, they are expensive to simulate the scarcity of said parts (e.g. Aaliyah model). Also reflected in how the Motocobra and Hitman machine guns' ammo cost more than others in their class; they make up for this by being EXCELLENT. It made roleplaying as a mercenary all the more realistic, and gave the player an appreciation for logistics and getting better at the game.

I want the return of tuning points so badly. Being able to increase your capacity and mobility? Crazy. Hopefully it makes an appearance in whatever comes after 6.

Raven at the begin of the game: "I'm gonna save humanity!" Raven at the end of the game: "Fuck humanity..."

Let me tell you, that playing this as much as i did in the end of high school, missed the whole bit where omer was behind it all. Still learning things about the story 12 years later

Old Ravens and Lynxes are never sad to see more people get into the other AC games, good video

4A was my first AC game, and hearing those mission briefings for Omer and GA America again was so weird. I didn't realize that yeah, the GA America rep sounds a tad like G1 Michigan, but the Omer rep sounds almost dead on like V.II Snail

If they ever bring 4A to PC I will gladly relive my younger days and play it again. 4A and Robotech Battlecry were the games that made me like mecha

Great video. Indeed, AC4 and ACFA are great and would certainly be a spectacle if remastered or remade with today's tech.

Pure unadulterated speed, love ACfa

I hope with recent massive success, Fromsoftware would consider revisit For Answer and remastered it for the PS5. AC6 is already epic enough, but For Answer is a whole other level, all it needs is to look as good as AC6

>Start killing the Cradles "Ah, yes. I have become the silliest terrorist in history."

In my entire life playing this game I've never had Malzel fall off Big Box like that. But that's the funniest shit ever though, imagine the second in command of the most dangerous revolutionary group on earth meeting his end cause he mistimed his boosters and fell to his death.

Man I would have love if fromsoft decided to port AC4A Modern console

Man, not even 20 seconds in and Bungie catching strays in a completely unrelated video. Good, need more, they deserve it.
