Sounds good.

Guess no one is interested.

Guess I'll go hide in my corner again playing games no one likes.

I would be interested. There are Mechs!
Console only? Move along, nothing to see here, unfortunately..

I didn't get a chance to play the last one, it seemed more of a Mechcommander esque build which turned me off. I love my 100 ton mechs moving at jet speeds.

Definitely going to keep an eye on this.

Give me back dual blades and breakneck speed on an untra light mech and im sold.

Ah! Cool...I was disappointed with AC5 , so hopefully this will make up for it.

Edit - Eh, looks like it's probably play the same. Bummer.

Love armoured core, will maybe pick this up and 5 which i'd missed.

It really isn't anything like mechcommander.

Though not as fast as AC4 gameplay (and I'm glad about that, that game was lights>all).

And for those who haven't noticed. This is just an expansion sort of game for AC5. So gameplay won't be changing much. (kinda like 4 to 4 anwser)

I'm interested, but still haven't got 5 yet :(

No where locally has it, and I never remember I can buy it online when I'm near a computer and have money.

4 to FA was a fairly big jump though in a lot of ways.
I remember the speed increased massively if nothing else. (less noticeable going 4 to FA, but if you go back to 4 after playing FA, holy nuts is it slow)

True, but the my point was. In 4 and FA, Lights dominated everything. AC5's Meta is a little bit broader.

Picking up AC5 at this point is kind of useless though unless you want it for the single player (and parts that will transfer over to ACV: VD). The communities seem to be somewhat.. depleted. EU servers have about a 100 active players.

I never really play online multiplayer anyway (let my gold lapse years ago), so it's primarily single player only for me anyway.

Also - on phone, so can't really read links - it's Armoured Core: Venereal Disease? XD

Verdict Day.

In that case, you're fine getting it. You'll be missing out on quite a bit of content though. Conquest missions and a few special boss events etc. are for MP only.

I need to finish 5, had trouble getting into it but I like the MMO elements they are adding in so maybe that will do it.

SAdly it's going to be on consoles that I don't have.
