Armored Core was my first AC, i was buying games randomly at game shop, when the cover catch my attention. Jumped on my chair when i found the game ALLOW you to change body parts and weapons and back weapons!!! and COLORS!!! I skipped PP, don't know why, i think i missed it. At that time i'm not really a fan of AC since my primary gaming was RPG. Continued by MoA, playing that makes me a fan until now. It was fun playing 2p split-screen with my little brother, but i always lose to him . Skipped AC2, i think it's because i don't have PS2 at the time it was released, and by the time i've got one, the game was sold out. Craved the stories from AA and from stories other players told me. Since then never skipped any single game except the ones in PSP. And finally able to beat my little brother in Last Raven (i always lose to him this whole time in the previous AC games).
