It's possible to complete all the order and story missions by yourself, it's just easier with another person. You can only get S ranks by playing the missions in solo play. Suzume . Here's my AC, standard rifle (nicknamed AR-0700) + laser rifle (lol ER-0705) + AS missiles + kinetic blade light rever...

I tried the Riddler secret identity generator thing the other day, but unfortunately entering your name serves no purpose, not even used for any kind of secret identity generating algorithm. It just generates a random superhero identity for you.

I did say the emblem system in ACV is much better than AC4/fA's. To make the most out of it you have to really push the limitations of what it can do . There are three FCS types in the game, quick lock, wide lock and long range. Quick lock is for short range and fast targeting, ideal for anyone who ...

Are you fighting against human ACs or story/order mission ACs? Try and find a weapon setup that you really like and will last you through missions. If you can't figure it out, try starting with the standard rifle + battle rifle setup. That will work well on early game ACs and enemies, and from there...

Japanese online is actually decently populated, when I meant desolate I was referring to just my team consisting of me and one other friend. :P Also just a note about pre-order DLC, anything you get in them you can eventually unlock in-game. If you do have a code, you have to enter it via your PSN a...

The issue isn't that they don't like the game so much as that generally negative reception from professional reviewers may discourage people from buying the game and aggrandizing my concern that the Western fanbase will either be really tiny or non-existent. I don't think this would have been much o...

Your mission progress is separate, but your ACs, parts in you garage, emblems, money, etc., will remain consistent both offline and online. Also, online mission progress is linked to the whole team, so if you reach team level 50, anyone who joins your team will have access to all the parts in the ga...

Without spaces, so it's "NoelShourai". No idea why I put the space, sorry 'bout that.

I might have to remake my Firebird logo from Formula Front... Firebird? :P The ability to make your own logo was always there. The system the use in ACV is the exact same one from AC4/ACfA, except more layers and parts are now available which allows for more freedom. My PSN ID is "Noel Shourai...

I wouldn't go with ORCA as a team name, because it's very likely someone else is going to make an ORCA team before we do. Well, they already did in the Japanese version, and they even had Thermidor's logo as their AC's personal emblem. I'd think we should go with an Ace Combat theme for our team, ma...

Actually I was pretty sure Armored Core Online is the largest Armored Core community in the West. Also I've basically exhausted the single player component of the game. All that's left for me to do now is play online as a mercenary (because I essentially don't have a real team), make ACs and give so...

Out of curiosity, are you guys assembling a team together when the game comes out? I would suggest creating a unified Mecha Talk team just so you guys have a reasonably large group of people to play with rather than splitting into small groups of 2-3; territorial battles are not the only thing that ...

Those look like USG-23/H gatlings. Those are the strongest gatling guns in the game in terms of AP damage. About the HUD, I'm sure it's a visual cue done incorrectly. There is a numerical stat of your EN supply that is both in scan mode and beside your energy gauge. If you quickboost and it drains f...

Actually, visibility is one of my main complaints with the game--namely screen contrast problems. In certain areas with bright skies or lights, scan mode is ineffective because most of the data you can get from scanning other targets blends right in with the sky, making it impossible to read without...

It's not really a rock/paper/scissors or luck thing. Maybe it is between different leg types, but not really between armor types. If you use scan mode and press RT/R2 while targeting an AC, you will see that AC's stats, including the type of weapons he uses, his AP, mobility and his defense stats. I...

Catalog 2 has been out for at least a day, does anyone know anything about what's in it? I have not seen any new parts or anything, nor has anyone talked about it on GameFAQs or the Japanese Armored Core wikis. Seraphic, I (accidentally) lied to you about Pulse Machineguns in Armored Core V. Tune th...

Online multiplayer is region-locked. Wait until March unless you don't like regional segregation. Q: Can I face off with overseas players? A: Because of the regional differences between the Japanese and foreign versions, you cannot play within the same hardware together. Edit: I lied, it's a hard d...

If you're using tank legs, and you fall in a pit of water, how the f*ck do you get out?? Tanks can't hop out, and I don't think you can really use your booster again if you are already hovering on the water surface. As far as I know, if you jump while underwater your boosters will engage and you wi...

The demo does not reflect the final product. The framerate in the full version of for Answer is actually slightly better than the demo version. I got to try some online multiplayer. It's generally really clunky, you can't really invite PSN/XBL friends like in most other online games. You also can't ...

I got a chance to try the Armored Core V demo. No online multiplayer until Saturday, I think. You have a save game and AC data, and it looks like when online shows up you can even trade AC blueprints. I don't know if this will carry over to the final game, but for the purposes of the demo you cannot...
