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

 

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

 

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.

  • Overall Difficulty--------------------------3/5 (heat, heat, heat)
  • Default Controls---------------------------5/5 (since I tried to play with type A control. after I can play type A totally, that I know is..... it was better than old type for me)
  • Mechanics----------------------------------4/5 (still same as or similar as SL but re-balanced for more dimension)
  • New Features------------------------------4/5 (Evolution and Revolution disc, more heat effective, dual lock box, etc.)
  • Bugs + Glitches----------------------------5/5 (didn't see any bugs)
  • Story----------------------------------------3/5 (jap version, so I cannot touch the story that much....)
  • Mission Quality (Single Player)-----------4/5 (more interesting various missions)
  • Arena (If Applicable)----------------------2/5 (AI at arena was too easy, some bots have better skill in mission)
  • Part Balance-------------------------------4/5 (bad when compared with LR, but good when compared with SL, except for heat)
  • Part Diversity------------------------------4/5 (decrease number from SL but more diversity, because of dual lock box and all about lefty weapons)
  • CG Art + Video-----------------------------5/5 (personally, I like NX opening that much)
  • Graphics------------------------------------2/5 (nothing different from SL that much)
  • Voice Acting--------------------------------3/5 (same voices as SL, LR, or any jap version AC games)
  • Sounds--------------------------------------4/5 (for a bit different sound of laser blade)
  • Music----------------------------------------3.5/5 (but I give "shining" for 5/5)
  • Multiplayer----------------------------------?/5 (never played multiplayer in NX before.....)

so, it's about 3.8/5

  • Overall Game Difficulty - I remember that I had challenges with it but now its just so easy... those missions i hated i can do easily now. Big MT? 3 ACs in 1 mission? Genobee? That pathetic excuse for Nineball? Not a problem for me anymore. so i guess a 3/5.
  • Default Controls - I just went to type B like i did in AC3 and did some editing to them. i cant do dual analog and thanks to AC 2, i cant use the left analog stick nearly as well as the d-pad. im not going to give a rating for it, its really a case by case basis.
  • Gameplay Mechanics - No OP-I... honestly, just give a great selection of optional parts to make OP-I worth not using sometimes. the new weapons and stuff are cool but that heat... and energy weapons are meh IMHO. i guess a 3/5, the part balacning changed things and i like it.
  • New Features - Well, the part balancing and the lack of OP-I and stuff, pretty much above point. 3/5
  • Bugs & Glitches - Saw none except a temporary water texture glitch on 1 of my disks, bu its gone. its a used copy anyway. so pretty much none. 5/5
  • Storyline Quality - its there and i got some of the stuff that happened. but could be better. 3/5
  • Mission Quality - Not. Enough. AC. Fights. most of the missions are just stupidly easy for me now... but some are fun. but there is Revolution for some nice missions. 4/5
  • Arena (If Applicable) - I want my main arena back. at least the ACs you fought were somewhat random. thankfully there is the free arena. 3/5
  • Part Balance - Pretty good, but some things need a buff and others need to be a little worse than they now are. some stuff is broken against AI though (dual M2s)
  • Part Diversity - Lots of parts. Lots of stuff to play with when ur bored. 4/5
  • CG Art & Video - Good quality cutscenes and great intro movie. 4/5
  • In-Game Graphics - They are nice with lots of details. 4/5
  • Voice Acting - It was pretty nice, but could be better. 3.5/5
  • Sound Effects - The sounds just add to the intensity at times. 5/5
  • Background Music - Most of the best tracks are from Revolution disc. the OST works though. 4/5
  • Multiplayer Mode - Had fun with TMraven on it. works just fine, issues shouldnt be coming from the game itself. 5/5
  • Other Stuff - Its a solid game, but not super awesome.
