LR Amida Survival

[Goat]

yeah thirded so that you'll all see that I was right and that it died!

In this case, the cockroach during PACT 6 is related to the events of LR because it was in the midst of chaos while the rest of RR were either participating at the tournament, or fagging around in the other room. Other than the events of LR, From Software is also responsible (obviously) for the roach's survival, but they stopped continuing ACLR. I wonder why.

They tried to reboot everything with "Project Force", which later became known as Armored Core 4. It was followed up by a sequel, which sucked regarding multiplayer imo, but enough of that. Moving on, the AC community had been temporarily split because of this 'new age' of Armored Core called "Project Force", which they most likely did on order to appeal to the newer generation of AC players, and the ones that just prefered this kind of AC.



In any case, there was a problem and From Software tried to remedy it, but failed at one point.

According to the cockroach theory, it suggests that when a company on that industry/market is revealed to have problems, the same could be said to the other companies at the same sector.

From Software is a video game developer, but its main focus now is AC; a mech game. There were other mech titles made by major companies in the last few years in the generation of video gaming. They are mostly dead now.



The problem lies within the overall genre itself; clunkly controls, too technical, having a control scheme that's a bit too compact to be fit into a controller, etc. Mech games in general survived only because of the niche market and community. Basically the roaches are the problems; the problems are the obstacles that keep a mecha game from being good and succesful.

Armored Core would have died with the other mech titles shortly after ACFA's release. It was most likely due to the success of Dark Souls that made it possible for them to further develop and fund ACV. Not to mention give it some publicity, with an agreement with Bamco.

Regardless of whether ACV will be successful or not, the fact that AC shares the same problems of most mech games and their decline, signifies that the cockroach has then survived, and not eliminated in the world of AC.
