Armored Core V mobilizes in March

Armor Core V will probably have more Cheap Ass A.I. that can do things you possibly can't.

The gameplay of the previous games were quite alright but i think a HUGE turnoff is the bland environment and enemies. It's like you're flying around in a barren warehouse, shooting boxes. The customization is really engrossing though. I love browsing through my arsenal and fitting different parts to my AC. Oh, forget about the story because there is practically none. If this AC can fix all these, I think it will be an awesome game.

We NEED a tactical online mech game to take over Chromehounds throne. *Pre-orders-cuz it's AC* (ye that's right, ARMORE CORE!! not "Assassin's Creed" =P)

@Gelugon_baat Don't you dare blaspheme over the holy missile storm!!! I'ts like crytizing crazy ammounts of boosters and impossible speeds and accelerations. X)

@people concerned about the recent AC games Don't be so hasty people, FromSoftware has made it clear months ago that they are aiming to bring back the tactical and challenging element of the older games from the past two console generations. I'm not saying your worries are not well-founded, just have a little more optimism for this new project of theirs.

@Gelugon_baat Actually, the creator and mechanical designer of the Macross series(Shoji Kawamori) has been the designer for the AC series since the first titles on the PS1.(He also did some designs for a Gundam series in the past)

Oh well, another year, another Armored Cor-- HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, LOOK AT THOSE MISSILE LAUNCHERS!

I was thinking of checking this game out, but march as some great releases this year and I might pass on it.

I've tried a few of the Armored Core games. I found all of them so boring that they were unplayable except for AC: For Answer. I found For Answer to be more accessible and fun. I enjoyed it and was able to finish it.

Zone of the Enders now that's how you make a fun mecha game

Agreed AC games tend to be really boring and as much as I tried to like them they're just really hard to get into.

The last AC wasn't good. There have been like 7 AC games though. Not sure why it's only V here. All these games were on the Playstation systems (PS1, PS2 & PS3), except for AC4 which was also on XBox 360. AC5 will be on both as well.

Yeah I have never played any Armored Core Game that wasnt extremely boring... Its a awsome concept just not executed well...

i lost interest at armored core 4 ... they dumbed down a lot of the fine tuning and they tried to push the action too much, i liked having a more stealth and snipe approach on most missions and i could spend hours tuning each AC. Dunno if they chose this to cater to 360 players but they screwed it for me.

I've never been much of a fan of the Armored Core games, it seems too 'arcady' to me and less precise. Then again, different strokes....

Have any recent Armored Core games been good?

Cool.
