South Q

Urm...There's no such thing as Cross platform between 360 and PS3, well, not officially. First things first. All the US/EU ACV review is underwraps. They can't release it online till near the release of ACV. Demo never came out in Japan till a WEEK or two before the main release, as I can see, we're on Leap Year so we're still in February. Beg Namco Bandai to localize it and release it, but does it really matter? Meh. I don't think Mechaverse (site formally known as ArmoredCoreOnline) will be going anywhere at all. Namco Bandai left it a bit late with the opening of the site, and quite frankly, doesn't really matter because it is a bit bare compared to the Japanese Armored Core V website It's a Japanese site.

I posted this a few days ago in Mechaverse which was slightly ignored. Source (Japanese): http://www.armoredco...2012/02/23/2068 Reposted from Mechaverse

Because it was on before the Japanese comfirmed date and well, you know, since it made in Japan, wouldn't you think they get the game first? That's why we're all "eh?" about it.

February seems realistic and EU would either be Late Feb / early march (hopefully it'll be like a few days after US release, like Dark Souls, but a man can only dream).

Well, Sega is publishing Armored Core V in Japan but Namco Bandai for America and EU. (not surpised as Namco Bandai has been quite busy with the publishing games to America/Europe, even got themselves a lawsuit with the Witcher 2 Developers which they have won quite recently) I tweeted Namco Bandai's Twitter concerning the release date, however I'm not sure I will get an answer but it is something. EDIT: Okay, I'm calling Shenanigans now. Release date for ACV in UK is also the 3rd of January according to IGN. Then again, It could be an poor coding on their part as US release date and pricing is missing - that and majority of the games release on a Friday. http://uk.xbox360.ig...tml?about_tab=6

Ah right. UK amazon states that it's coming soon.(which reminds me, I need to preorder it but I may wait till there's more release info and possible shop exlusive content) Still, no idea where some sites slating the 3rd of jan release.

True, I have checked, but still...you have no idea where gaming sites get their sources on early release date, hell! Even Amazon (US) is dispatching ACV on the 31st of December.

By the look of Amazon (US) They're releasing ACV on 31st December. What is going on? If 3rd January release is true, it will be a bit of a kick in the teeth for the Japanese players thinking that they'll have the upper hand in dominating most of the territories by getting the game before the rest of the world. Then again, it probably extactly what they want.

26th of January is when the Japanese ACV is released. Oh, my money is that you'll get murked badly if you use OW against the Big bosses.

Watched the Livestream and it does show some of the Overed weapons. By the look of it. It really does require some handling and serious team work, especially the SCUD nuke OW as it got some mad cooldown, even after you fired the missile. Still, It looks as if it can take out more than one AC. The Chainsaw OW is definitely instalose if you miss. Not only you lose an arm, you pretty much lose half of your firepower. The Special beam cannon OW is probably going to be a favourite for those who like sniping and defending bases.

Or maybe they'll show off the Six chainsaw of firey doom over weapon that they promised.

That's what I meant, only I worded it terribly wrong. Sorry. I will test out all the suggestions this evening after I tried out Batman Arkham City. (still think this game should be played only at night)

I meant when you gain your lock target after you did a PA bomb. Allyiah have the highest camera recovery. Although I could replace it for Soldner head (the second highest CR) and some much needed defence.

Noob is correct with the Generator, it is a gimmick, then again. This AC is pretty much a Gimmick and designed for fun, if it managed to take down a few AC along the way, then that's something to talk about. If I wanted a proper, hardcore design that is intent on winning everytime, I would've never thought of having zooka arms + Kamal on a Lahire legs. I did forget to add that this AC is also designed for PA bombing and that's alone was one of the reason why I picked Linstant gen and Alliyah's head, with KP maxed out, it took at least 30 seconds to get its PA back after PA bombing. I could sacrifice its high KP for a much more better Generator but it would mean losing those valuable seconds. It is true that its PA cability is not extremely high, (7300 in fact) but it still respectably high and with the Alliyah head, the AC have the advantage of recovering camera function from PA, thus having that small window of your opponent not firing at you. This AC could potentially be extremely handy in a team death match, focusing not entirely on stripping the AC down, but rather keeping their PA down while your ally can finish it off. I will follow and test all of your suggestions. Although I'm not looking forward to the Quad suggestions, I have a fond dislike for quad.

I seen one used and tested the combo, but I have a limitless dislike on Raiden arms. Especially when it have something that strip PA to go with it. Raiden arms are evil.
