17:00 they actually didnt change the scale at all, everything in ACVI is the same scale as in elden ring, which is why Zullie can just port models from ACVI into elden ring for size comparisons and such (Ice Worm stretches from Elleh Church to Castle Morne lol). Ppl speculate that it helped them with modeling all the envirionments to scale with humans, aswell as calculating physics objects etc.
The music is so underrated in this game, my only criticism of this game is there just isnt enough of it and that includes the music. If you want sone good synthwave arrangements, "cthuluseeker" has done "contact with you" and "Steel haze" and there both spot on.
Having S-ranked everything myself I enjoy watching these and seeing someone else’s thought process trying to figure out what makes an S rank run for a certain level. I do think people make it more complicated than it needs to be.
I just realize in Ayre last moment, she actually reach out her hand to you, as if still trying to reason with you dang Fromsoft really makes me care for a voice
9:47 if dosers use coral to get a high and mealworms eat coral to grow larger it is implied the dosers may actually be getting some benefits from the coral. But when we encounter the coral infused mealworms they switch to “fight mode” and instantly explode. This implies they are in an unstable state similar to a junkie on the edge of an overdose just waiting for their body chemistry to change and put them over the edge. The mealworms reaction in this way would indicate a similar but milder negative reaction may take place when the dosers are stressed as well.
I could consider killing Carla to save coral, but making Chatty sad before killing him freaking broke my heart Chatty was the best of them all, rip little ai, your emblem will always have a special place on all my ac's.
clear speed is by far the heaviest weighted stat with some exceptions, had to learn to stop fretting the damage and just focus on consistent kills and moving fast
Spoilers: I earned "Savior" on my first playthrough. I'm sorry Carla, they're alive and i wont let you burn them all. I was devastated when i earned "Fires". He called me Buddy one last time, even as i betrayed the RLF...he still called me Buddy and it hurt so much.
I dunno, man. just deciding to nuke the entire solar system and killing everyone in it, because your "slave owner" said so don't seem so good to me.@@thepope2184
I felt it really drove home that "good" is situational and nuanced, not so black and white, in ACVI's case you assume the role of some great betrayer to achieve another party's goals, whichever route you take. Killing Walter and Carla to achieve Ayre's goal or killing Ayre to achieve Walter's perceived goals both make you a great evil to one and a saviour to another. The hero and the villain are one in the same here
really... I am "evil" for not genociding an entire planet? I dunno man, Walter and Carla just seem a little nuts, they are extremely biased against Coral and are hardstuck on destroying it, something we know is an intelligence species. Don't get me wrong. I love their characters and understand where they come from, but that's it... I understand. they seem to have severe trauma, trauma so crippling they only see genocide as the only way out... Yeah, I don't know in what world that could be considered good? Especially when we as players know there is potential for co-existence. @@beefs0ck911
All three endings are grey, to me. Fires of Raven, tho, that's the lightest shade. It has the fewest unknowns. You burned the coral to save humanity. Could symbiosis work? Maybe. Could release be beneficial? Maybe. But if you burn the coral, all of it, you *definitely* prevent a greater catastrophe.
I agree. I personally think the liberator of rubicon is actually the best ending for a few reasons: 1. You don’t kill the entire population of Rubicon 2. You don’t commit genocide against the Coral, since it is both sentient and living 3. By keeping the Coral contained to Rubicon, instead of releasing it across the universe like in the third ending, you minimize the damage that the Fires returning would cause. That’s my personal view on it.
I've noticed you can afford to be pretty wreckless in S ranking things - I've used a ton of repair kits and taken a beating for plenty of missions, and even completely depleted at least one of my weapons on some. It seems that accomplishing the main objectives in as little time as possible is the biggest factor. You can afford to be inefficient with your health and ammo as long as its spent on the bosses, essentially.
I'm surprised that Vaati didnt notice that Ayre Fight is a deadringer to the ACVD final Boss fight In a sense that you are basically killing a NEXT mech. Also, i am 100% waiting for Vaati's take on AC6 lore No offense to Armoredcorelore, but i kinda digging Vaati's take on tackling FS lore
I didn't choose fires of raven, then I knew I had to do the bad ending after to unlock the true ending. :( I just hope Rusty survives the true ending. Ayre's ending is a "good" ending, fires of raven legitimately kills everybody. The true ending is really the one that matters, even though Walter and Carla die. It's a tragic end no matter what you choose, but we will see how the True ending plays in the next release...since AC comes in pairs. Ayre's first ending however, though Rusty dies, Walter has been "Re-educated" by arcebus, he's not himself anymore, killing him is a mercy at that point.
I honestly consider Fires to be the "good" ending. You get stacks of evidence that Coral isn't necessarily a good thing for humanity, and your only evidence against this is Ayre who might just be a method of manipulating you, and all her arguments for coexistence use the watertight argument of "Dude, trust me". Yes, you destroy Rubicon 3, but the rest of the galaxy will survive and humanity will continue.
Hopefully he's including it with the new game+ missions, he almost skipped another mission in a different video cuz he forgot it was a decision not new game+
Vatti recently s ranked every mission and you helped greatly I was stuck on the defend xylem mission and then I put on double soups and won first try thank you
I felt that Fires of Raven was the good, selfless, but bitter ending. You stay loyal to the end, and solve the problem of the ever multiplying bomb, at the cost of all of the lives on Rubicon. The other two endings feel more selfish, turning on Walter to make the voice in your head happy, and unleashing coral into space to grow and multiply until something ignites it.
I feel like Fires of raven is the semfish one, like yeah you don't betray walter but you kill an entire planet because a tiny group judged that nothing good could come out of it
I mentioned this in a different comment but I feel they really tried to drive home that "good" is subjective and nuanced, not so black and white. You take the role of some great betrayer to achieve one party's goal. You are both the hero and the villain, one in the same, no matter which route you take.
psssshhhhh explosive damage does perfectly fine against pulse if you have enough of it. Earshot cannons are a little unwieldy but worth it at close range. It's very hard to get away from the splash damage too so it's great for catching people out when they try to escape.
“Where am I going?” Asks the man who turned off the audio that’d tell him what’s going on and where to go. Vaati, I love your stuff, but sometimes you just really make me wonder.
bro as soon as I figured out that * ending spoilers* You get to crash the HUGE ship into the HUGE tower for one of the endings, I didn't care about the story anymore I needed to see it. Did not disappoint, and I just have 1 more mission and ending left (at work, cant finish yet :O )
ONE. LAST. PLAN. Alright, we are in a game. My next brilliant plan is to trap Raven with the contact box of BALTEUS to trap him and stop him from opening that door. You will be under my direct authority. Consider it a privilege.
I did Fires of Raven for my first ending, and after getting all three I still believe it to be the best one. It's the only one that assures the survival of humanity, and you come across a lot of evidence that Coral will be a bad thing to leave laying around no matter what that (possibly manipulative) voice in your head says.
Except you’re ignoring the fact that Coral is alive. To burn it all is to literally commit genocide. Plus there really isn’t evidence that Ayre is manipulating you. I think the Liberator of Rubicon ending is the best. You don’t commit genocide against the Coral, you don’t kill the entire population of Rubicon, and if the Fires return, the damage is contained to Rubicon, since it wasn’t released into the universe like in the third ending.
@@astercat49 but is it reeaaaallly genocide if nobody acknowledges it’s a civilization? And for some reason ayre was like yeah kill the coral bots, but at the end she’s like I can’t let you kill us. I just don’t trust her. And by the end I want to kill her just to shut her up.
Never made a whole lot of sense to me that the Cleaner boss was on the Xylem. Or that Arquebus dudes were attacking you on the Xylem. Like, you *want* Carla to blow up your megastructure?? Because that's what you get if you stop me here. And then HAL explodes, but is somehow still in one piece.
No wonder your “light” AC with the chainsaw was getting staggered by a swift breeze; you’re using literally the worst possible head in the entire game. It drops your stability sooooooo much.
This game took me 27 hours to platin it and I loved it. I think it's a solid 8/10, but i would recommend to buy it at sales, because it's kinda short. Or give them that deserved money, so all of us get better and more polished fromsoftware games :)
More polished? Are you high? Sure it could do with a dlc sometime soon to fill it out but polished? On a decent set up it runs 120 frames with no slow down? It runs like magic on a PS4 considering the noise it makes and you say polished?!? I think you need to lower your expectations.
Took me like 40+ hours to get the 100% achievement. But that's counting the time I spent build crafting and making a 128 layer emblem haha. Easily a 9/10 for me. Nearly perfect. Not that I've done it much, but games that take 100+ hours to get 100% almost always get tedious and boring to me.
@@wobblywally-0I am not good at expressing myself xd Armored Core 6 had for sure one of the best releases yet and its personally my Game of the year. What I meant is every money the get will still improve their next project a little bit more, because nothing can be perfect, but It can come closer to it.
Killed Carla in Ng. I didnt wanna burn the coral, I had hope it could be used for good, didnt want to kill a whole planet a second time to stop a different problem which I was already dealing with: killin corps. I didnt want to kill Carla she is a wonderful character she even broke our ass outta prison but I couldnt let her go through with it. Also Ayre didnt do me dirty once I felt so I was on that mind lady fan club train
I seriously don’t understand how you can just oops s-rank Destroy the Drive Block. I’ve beaten it faster, with less repair costs, less expenses and more income and it only gives me an A-rank. What’s the secret?
This is the way i see things: Fires of Raven = bad ending Liberator of Rubicon = good ending Alea Iacta Est = Best and True ending. Kinda like Cave Story
Killing everyone and dooming humanity itself is not exactly what I would call the best ending. And considering the fact that Alea Iacta Est goes completely against the Liberator of Rubicon I have to wonder why you consider that ending "good".
@@user-dj1xq4yd6g Just cause i think it's the best ending doesn't mean i think it's a "good" ending, an ideal ending would be one where there is peace and Communication/Connection between the Coral and Humanity, in AIE we have that seemingly minus the peace part as it seems that the Coral Release was a forceful symbiosis between Humanity and Coral. That said, AIE is also pretty abstract, especially the final scene so that's just my interpretation.
@@timothymenard1750 What is "best" about it then considering the fact that we have now made the decision to end humanity without even so much as asked anybody? Far away, in another solar system, Little Timmy and his family have suddenly been thrown into chaos as their previous lives have completely ceased to exist. If they even survive the symbiosis, that is. All for the sake of a foreign and incomprehensible being that Timmy and his family knew nothing about, whose motives are unclear to begin with.
@@user-dj1xq4yd6g Again, i don't think it's a "Good" ending or that a traditionally good ending exists, part of the whole thing with all 3 endings is that no one person should be allowed to determine the fate of all Humanity/Coral, but you have to, there is no choice where both humanity and coral get to decide for themselves. In FoR, you commit Genocide against not just the Rubiconian humans but the Coral as well, the only other sentient life in the universe. In LoR, you successfully fight off the Corps and save Rubicon! For now at least, eventually the Corps will return with more numbers and more firepower and will inevitably overwhelm the RLF and take and exploit Coral once again. In AIE, you forcefully fuse Coral and Humanity and enter a new age of symbiosis where the line between human and coral is blurred. AIE is the only ending where Humanity and Coral will coexist, cause they'll be forced to. To reiterate i don't think AIE is a good ending, it's just the best of a bad hand you've been dealt.
@@timothymenard1750You yourself are the one who started categorizing the endings as bad, good and best. Fine if you wish to backtrack, but don't use those descriptors then. I still don't buy that dooming humanity itself is the best possible ending when the alternatives are to either limit the number of human deaths as in FoR or put faithin the rubiconians ability to have coral abide with Rubicon. I don't understand why coral life is more important than human life to begin with considering that coral is a foreign substance that is not only extremely dangerous but also callous towards their own kind, what with all coral waves shown in the game forgiving the murder of their own kind in exchange for contact with humans.
Congrats but some of this was kinda funny hard to watch like I'm like why aren't you using rivers of blod wing sword talisman Millicents prosthetic and thorn cracked tear for max damage 😊😂🤣😂🤣
Fires of Raven is objectively the correct ending. All ending spoilers for reference, avert your eyes ye who wish to avoid: One Ending - A magic voice in your head that comes from Space Demon Juice™ tells you to kill all of your friends and you do it for some reason. The "Real" Ending - A homicidal AI tells you to kill all of your friends, and then you do it for some reason, and then it decides to kill you anyways, and then when you kill it instead, you finish its plan to forcibly drug ALL OF HUMANITY with Space Demon Juice™ anyways for some reason. The GOOD Ending - An extremely dangerous mind-altering mind-controlling non-human substance that is also conscious entity, which we may know as Space Demon Juice™, is a major threat to all of humanity, both directly as well as tangentially, so you decide to destroy the last remnants of it so that it can't proliferate and hurt more. Unfortunately you sacrifice the last remnants of civilization on one particular planet to accomplish this, but the potential carnage or subjugation you prevent is well worth it.
You’re underestimating how dangerous the fires are. They don’t just destroy rubicon they burn the near by solar system. Not to mention that the first time there was a fire the coral survived. In this ending you also kill all of your friends and all of your enemies and assuredly billions of women and children. And if AC does what it always does, the sequel to this generation would need a story to continue off of and the fires of raven ending leaves no options as far as I can tell. Coral is so important to the story that is has to be in the next game. I think the sequel could most easily be made good the savior ending where you can actually begin to find the future for coral and humanity. Or you could even be a new AC trying to stop 621 and Ayre.
That is an extremely polarized view of the story. Let me point out the flaws in what you said: 1. Coral is not Mind Controlling whatsoever. I don’t know where you got that idea from. All of the choices are made by the player, at no point does Ayre force you to do anything. 2. Walter and Carla are advocating for literal genocide, both against the Coral, and the people of Rubicon. There is no universe where an ending in which you commit genocide can be considered “good” in any way, shape, or form. 3. Ok, we actually kind of agree on the Alea ending not being great, though for different reasons. I don’t really understand why we decide to complete Coral Release after realizing that Allmind is batshit crazy. Yes, the Fires of Raven ending is the “least risky,” but the end doesn’t justify the means. Just because you avoid the CHANCE of a greater catastrophe, doesn’t excuse or justify killing everyone on Rubicon, or eradicating the Coral, a sentient life form. I believe that Liberator of Rubicon is the “best” ending because you don’t commit genocide, and IF the Fires return, it will be limited to Rubicon, not scorching the entire universe. Betraying Walter and Carla is an extremely difficult choice, but in the end, the player has to choose. Do they play it safe and give up the possibility of a better future, or do they take a chance, that humanity and the Coral can coexist.
@@astercat49 When you're dealing with a substance like coral which is also sentient demon juice, playing it safe is always the correct option. If coral coexistence goes well, you still have the supersubstance in the universe that will ALWAYS be a threat, but if it goes wrong, it goes VERY wrong. Alternatively, you burn the coral now and the universe is saved from the very existence of coral. Also, imo, I think a lot of the other two endings hinges very greatly on you personally liking Ayre as a person (as a character she's fine, i mean like personally). And I don't, and I know a lot of people who also don't. She invades your mind and instead of leaving decides to stay and say the word "We" a bunch as if we've been friends for years. I don't know about you, but those kinds of people are usually the biggest red flags.
@corwinkeylon6913 it is not “sentient demon juice.” And again, just because it’s the “safest” option doesn’t mean it’s the right one. You’re choosing to eradicate a sentient life form that has done nothing wrong. The Coral didn’t choose for the Fires to happen. They happened because of humanities greed and ambition. The Coral shouldn’t pay the price for humanities hubris. No matter how much you try to paint Coral as evil, it doesn’t change the fact that you are committing genocide against an innocent life form.
The primary message of Armored Core is that life is not always moral or easy. If something is a big enough threat to humanity, we kill it. We always have. Only just recently, in the last couple hundred years, has humanity learned that we're actually so above nature nowadays in power that things are no longer threats to us, and we had to tell ourselves to stop killing perceived threats. But as soon as something would come up to meet us, in this case, coral, killing it is the SAFEST option, especially if it is something capable of genociding humanity, which coral is. We would need to make something like the xenomorphs extinct if they were ever real. Coral is worse. Just be honest bub. You just like the lady in your head that calls you studmuffin. I don't. @@astercat49
