Anybody here have it? I picked up a copy today. From what I’ve read and seen, this game is more intuitive to a faster, more frenzied play than AC4 was.

EN Economy seems more forgiving and there are some boosters that can really get you moving. Over Boost lasts longer. Blades now have some tracking on them.
I need to hurry up and beat single player mode 2-3 times so I can really start enjoying this game.
EDIT: And mechs can use a “super”. Pretty much, a Raging Storm.
Over time Armored Core has gone from being THE slowest mech game ever to one of if not the fastest. Looks great, I really got into AC4 and I was happy with how much they sped up gameplay and let you stay airborn much longer (see: almost indefinitely if you set your Next up right).
Just ordered it on amazon, though I still don’t have a 360 to play it on haha. I recently played AC4 and fell in love then I heard that ACFA was coming out in 2 weeks so I figured I waited to get a 360 long enough. See you guys online eventually
Yeah. AC4 was my first AC, you pick up the basics real quick. Before the single player mode starts, you go through a tutorial. I’m still getting the hang of the stats and stabilizers though. It’s deep and has quite a learning curve but it’s really fun.
I remember from an old Armored Core thread, Shade had quite some knowledge to spit. I’m sure he could give you a better orientation than I.
Yes! I finally beat White Glint. He was quick boosting all over the place, I couldn’t hit him. But once I figured out that he’s a mid-range type, I brought out the dual sniper rifles and wheelies(a lot of homing missiles launch from your shoulder). And you start the match with an ally mech so I just let them fight each other until my ally died then I came out with full HP and picked him off. All of that, and I STILL almost died.
Man, this looks crazy. I still like the pace of bout 3 better than what it looks like they’ve bumped it up to, but if I had a 360/PS3 I’d still pick it up to screw around with.
