Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon

really enjoying the game so far and second boss down, using keyboard and mouse
think i need to save pennies for a new generator.
Yeah its just how i remembered it though, a really fine balance between EN Loads, Weight and the weaponry you mount. Trying to find that perfect balance for the mission ahead was always the fun part. I've replayed quite a few missions now just to gather enough coin for upgrades.
oh sweet i never noticed i could replay the missions
its my first armoured core game and loving it so far
Yup, that's what kept on happening to me. The one time he stayed in the arena I managed to kill him quickly with melee attacks. Typical From, throwing a difficulty spike right at the start of the game !
Nice work. How come you skipped out on a L shoulder weapon? Was it for speed purposes or did you just not need one?
Currently on chapter 2 mission 4 (I think). I can feel the difficulty increasing in a good way. I'm hooked on the gameplay. The variation in weapons and the different playstyles they bring, along with the type of legs you are using is awesome.
I got to the mission that they showed in one of the early gameplay reveals (the one where they kick the mech off the edge). That level is long (I did try and kill as many enemies as possible to bag more credits). I ran out of ammo in both my arm weapons and had to fight a tetra pod mini-boss with just my shoulder weapons. One of which ran out half way through the fight. I do think I may be fighting at the wrong range which is causing issues with ammo usage.
Are Rubiconians just humans native to Rubicon or a different species?
It will be interesting to find out what or who Ayre (sp?) is? I found a combat log in ch2 mission 3, that talks about taking orders from an AI, so I wonder if that is what she is. She is able to mess with settings in your AC.

Yeah the replayability of the missions is actually quite good, i didn't realise how much i missed in terms of enemies and also the extra bosses you can fight and destroy to collet Battle logs which can be exchanged to unlock special parts. Unlocked 1 already but not used it since it doesn't match what im building.
Overburdened so i can't install it. Im favouring heavy single shots and fast speed over mass fire power at the moment, meaning i get in, i dash around and don't get hit while picking off the enemies one at a time. I can do without the L shoulder for now though it would be nice to have a shield or something. It's really quite satisfying as they can't target you lol. You end up running circles around the enemies even some bosses! I found one of the end of chapter bosses quite easy because of this speed i have over them.
Don't forget to equip the appropriate FCS according to how you wanna fight, i found mid range or close range fcs to be more useful for my build right now. Where as if you favour long range firepower then obviously install that one. They do some inbetween ones too but i don't see the point as it just makes what you're trying to achieve half arsed.

I finally beat him, but it wasn't a yipee moment, it was more a thank **** that's over. Not a good boss design decision at all for a tutorial! Should feel rewarded for beating a hard boss, not like I've been through 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.

The game is nowhere near as difficult as Elden Ring or Dark souls but it adds an extra layer of transversing being able to fly around makes it that much better to dodge attacks. Also kinda gotta learn how the enemy attacks to be able to dodge them to begin with.
My issues was mostly to do with weapon range. I had twin Gatling guns which are short range weapon but I when taking out grunts and some mini bosses I was standing far away, which I believe causes ricochet. I just need to get in close and dodge like a maniac
that first boss always approaches from the same spot, i was pounding on him with my sword before the health bars even came up and i think that done something then as soon as the bars came up and i was on the ground i just went back at him, didnt spend much time on the ground and just got super aggressive with my sword

Yeah richochet is caused by being too far away, think theres another variable too that determines it.. can't remember what it is.
Chapter 1 down, that boss music though! 
Took me numerous attempts trying with various ranged setups before I found the rhythm using the laser sword instead, after that there was much more hope in every run before I finally took it down.
There was one attempt where I was super low on AP and just went ham chasing it down and managed to just devastate it, only for us to land simultaneous killing blows and the screen slowly fade to black as we both exploded
I've not really been going back to farm any missions to buy any extra gear other than what really interested me, I think I'll put more of an effort into that now though as it was definitely a bit of a multi layered skill/gear/setup check, makes sense with how generous the game is with checkpointing and the ability to swap out setups upon death.

What controls are people using? I'm awful with a pad but trying to get used to TypeB mode. Find with a pad I end up clicking with the left stick and boosting when I don't intend to. I'm too used to a mouse for aiming is far easier (and faster) for me but was finding the sticks were making things easier for all the movement.
