No biggie.

I sent you a friend request on Wii U. I forgot to do it earlier.

Anyone else have a Wii U?

Cool. I'll be on it tomorrow. Got Mario Kart?

 

[Zenfalcia]

You get redbulls and pats rage so that you dont ever need to sleep.

Pat berserk rage, all i need is a giant slab of metal, a metal arm, and repeating crossbow.

Spoiler

I know i'm missing other things like the armour but that's spoilers.

B-but i need sleep or i'll die.

The funny thing is that the references in DS1 and 2 work either way, regardless of your playing order. Demon's is kind of its own thing anyway.

Hmm. Ic. It just feels better to play in order.

I was going to sleep but I see we're nearing the end of this thread. I still haven't finished prepping the new one. Big surprise: the Pat one is winning by a huge margin.

Sorry if this was posted earlier but, where's the vote located?

I know that won't win for Thread 4, but it should.

I'll be honest Armored Core kicks my ass far harder than Demon/Dark Soul series, mostly because in Armored Core there are a lot more factors you have to pay attention to, and your build might be amazing in one mission and flat out awful in the next

I really want to try one Armored Core game, just to see what you mean.

Cool. I'll be on it tomorrow. Got Mario Kart?

Sure do. I can play a couple of races around 6-7 eastern if that works for you.

Armored Core is the Dark Souls of... wait a minute

 

[ArclightBorealis]

Really? The difficulty curve is like that I all from games?

Stuff like Armored Core, King's Field, and Shadow Tower start you out in pretty disadvantageous situations, but if you keep playing and learn to make use of mechanics properly, things become perfectly manageable and at times a joke. They don't all become piss easy, but the challenge does become lessened the more you stick with it.

Using Armored Core as an example, you get deducted from your pay for damage to your AC and ammo used. You're not making enough money to get new parts, you're fucked (if you lose more money than you earned, you're ESPECIALLY fucked). But do well, and eventually you're rolling around in credits and have an AC that suits your style so you can decimate everything. Well, save for the occasional fuck hard enemy that's operating out of the bounds of what you as a player are capable of.

[Imperfected]

Not so much hard, as that "difficulty curve" is a poor choice of words because it usually isn't. By default people tend to call it a "curve" because if you graph it as difficulty over time, that's what it looks like. From games tend to look more like a flat line that starts way higher than the origin point and spikes intermittently, but doesn't necessarily ramp up.

Though, Dark Souls actually has decent curves on the micro-scale (ie, within a given zone), even if it's kind of flat on the macro scale (ie, in the difference between one zone and the next).

 

[360pages]

So it's intentionally Hard for the sake of being called difficult?

Lets just say, if you mess up a mission in Armored Core, it's better to start from the last save point than pay and try to redo it. Hell in older Armored Core games missions were one and done, that means if you mess up you can't redo them unless you reload.

You could mess yourself up big time in AC if.

Pretty much. Hell, even if there were no bosses like Nineball Seraph or super challenging missions in Armored Core, people would still be struggling to get anywhere because of the controls (going by AC games before Nexus, which introduced a dual analog set up, and even then mechanics are far from simple).

They do good one-offs on Machinima and do long-form LPs on their main channel TheSw1tcher. Recommended first LPs are probably stuff like RE2, Deadly Premonition, MGR and Heavy Rain (later to be known as the Sadness trilogy where they play every David Cage game) The Shitstorm is also probably a kind of good hopping in point, which is a month of horror games they do every October.
