This Rating, Review, and General Discussion topic is focused on Armored Core 3.

 

-------------------------

 

To help add a touch of personalization to the ACU Wiki articles covering each AC game, I have decided to add a section in their infoboxes that showcases what the ACU community feels about each game. This section is a rating of the games quality and approval by the ACU community and it is titled "ACU Rating". This rating is based off of a five point scale, ranging from one (a horrible game) to five (an incredible game). Only votes cast using the poll will be counted towards the Wiki's rating system. I will periodically check these topics and update the ACU Rating section for each game. The rating for a game will be the average of all of the votes cast for that game, rounded to the nearest integer.

 

The other important feature of this topic is to give us a source for the content that will go on each games main article page. This means everyone should write some form of review for whatever part of the game in question they feel like writing for. Even a few sentences giving your view on the games mechanics, story, or part balance can be highly helpful. We need as many viewpoints as possible to help insure the articles accurately reflect community views on the AC games. Also, this helps give us extra material to work with when filling in the main article pages for the AC games.

 

Of course, you're free to rate and review the games on whatever categories you can think of. If you can't think of anything, I have provided a list at the bottom of this post that can help you with picking things to rate the games on. There are quite a few categories to pick from. You do not have to rate the games using all of these categories, though.

 

You're free to be as biased as you like and discussion of the AC game in question is highly encouraged.

AC3 was a great game added to the series. Good music and the arena was good too. Ill never forget Ace,BB,and Exile. Also OP-I was invented as the new "Plus system" part but not earning the abilities when you fail and have to get -50000C but earning them in missions and fighting certain ACs made it a bit better IMO though ALOT think it is cheap and i do agree it is cheap but it was fun when using it IMO. All in all this game gets a 5/5 Edited by Sacrus

Oh hey, these topics exist.

 

AC3 is the sixth game in the series, and the first reboot. It features the third engine, and also the third mech design reset. The mech designs introduced in AC3 have featured in more AC games than any other part set.

 

As noted above, AC3 is the first reboot of the AC storyline; that is to say, the first AC game not connected to AC1, either directly or through a link to another previous AC game. The story is, as is typical for AC games in general and English translations of AC games in particular, somewhat vague, but in an interesting thematic departure from earlier AC games is absolutely loaded with Judeo-Christian allegory. The most straightforward example of this is the Controller's "DOVE" emblem, which in the context of the player being a Raven is an obvious reference to the story of Noah's Flood, in which both a raven and a dove are both sent out to search for land. In the biblical story, of course, the dove is successful, while in AC3 the player takes the role of the raven, searching for a new order after a long time in the dark, brought on by a world-destroying cataclysm.

 

AC3 is the first AC game to feature a raven-rank-gated Arena. Rather than simply being numbered, arena opponents are grouped in tiers E-A, analogous to mission rankings. The player starts at rank E, and can progress to the highest E rank from the start of the game, but must increase their raven ranking through successful missions in order to progress to challenging rank D opponents.

 

Other AC3 firsts include the Extra Arena, a 2v2 arena in which players are partnered with an AI of their choice, Exceed Orbit cores as an alternative to overboost, mission consorts whose hiring is left to the player, projectile left arm units, NPCs progressing from MT pilots to Ravens depending on the player's actions, and OP-INTENSIFY, an optional part which emulates the human plus of earlier games.
