Front Mission Evolved

THIS GAME MAKES ALL THE ARMORED CORE GAMES LOOK SO HIDEOUS!

jk haha

[Fox]

Oh my, what a fine pair of cannons she has...

[clonezero]

I think I saw someone weilding the vampire arms there

and someone got some nice racks there ... reminds me of mazinger z
man I want XD

[Zefyr]

Now now, I think AC4 and fA are on par with this... of course can't say much about the backgrounds of those...

I WANT FRONT MISSION XD

It honestly doesn't look bad, based on this.

Ok, let's say that single player sucks. But what about multiplayer?

And how exactly are parts unlocked?

edit: There are randomly activated battle skills? and multiplayer is mostly for team play rather than 1 on 1? I am disappoint.

[Twin-Skies]

You only get half the parts from single player mode, and you lose the EDGE system in multiplayer.

Anyway, I already scrapped my copy. This game got way too much on my nerves.

[NiX]

Yeah, but what exactly made it annoying? Imbalances? Bad UI and controls?

I just wanna know cuz if we can tolerate Armored Core, I thought we'd be the demographic that could tolerate this.

If it's even half-decent, I'll pick it up for the PC.



Note that I'm only really interested in competitive multiplayer. I don't care if the story sucks or I can't make my mech look like a Gandam or whatever. As long as there's a relatively balanced selection of parts and true skill is rewarded.

edit: OK, so I read that weapons are extremely tiered. Means that people who've put more hours in get stronger weapons. That's not cool.

[J.E_Magog]

I've read someone mentioned that the game just felt like an average 3rd person shooter and it is lacking a lot of sim-like aspects that you'd find in a lot of mech games.

Multiplayer shit sux according to people who played it seriously. Very imba. Game neeeds sooo many changes. Sticking to my ARRRRR matey copy for now.

[Goat]

Judging from the video, it looks similar to how Exteel is played. It also seems in need of being played reactively in order play in a competitive scale. I've been also playing FPS's with that mouse accel feature turned on, so I probably wouldn't have much problems with it.

I might give it a chance, but I'll prolly just go rent it.



PS:

Yeah, I'll be a sacrificial goat for you people because I'm still going to spend money in the end. Then again I'm also getting the PC version now, which I hope will work (but then again, multiplayer is what we're rooting for, aren't we?).

[NiX]

I really wanna give the multiplayer a chance. That's why I've been reading around. Anyway, I came across this thread on the Steam forums. It's basically a competitive player's take on the game. Exactly what I've been looking for. Check it out.

A lot of the QQ honestly sounds just like those from folks struggling with AC.

I don't know how good and how high-ranked this guy is. But at the very least, he's demonstrated to me that a variety of builds are viable.

I am honestly intrigued.

According to some long rant in gamefaqs, which was posted in steam forums. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/960448-fr...d/56572864

Balance issues:
Sniper rifles 2 hit = death
Missiles = no heat cooldown but rockets do
Health Regen spamming thanks to the backpack = lots of camping missile + sniper combo
Multiplayer lobby fucks up
Match making sucks.

errr... hopefully ac5 would be better, which i think it will be. =D
for now, arrrrrrrr matey!

[NiX]

Sniping action.

Some guy on Steamforum posted his thoughts on AC when it was compared to FME.

"Unfortunately the fast pace is somewhat spoiled by the console controls and less-than-precise aiming. The game does too much work for you, imo."
