how to get d Armored Core 1,2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ?

[Blitzwing]

Hi, somehow I did never play previous games? Any idea where and how to get them?

Unless you want to spend up to hundreds per game which there is 15 games in the series before AC6. You want to go the emulation route.

1. buy play station 1,2,3 and used titles of 1,2,3,4,5 in flea market

[cstrikin it up]

Duckstation with netplay = mutliplayer AC

Don't forget Xenia for gen 5 because those games are broken on RPCS3.

ah... i forgot those exist... thanks for stirring up repressed memories... lmao but yeah, that's great to know.

I know gen 5 is hated, but hey the person asked for 5 as well. But honestly I don't recommend them playing it because it is a online focused game with no online anymore.

definitely had it's quirks, like the ai tuning and the clan conquest pvp stuff. but tbh, ya may want to just watch a retrospective vid of V and VD

Some people would say VD is worth playing. But I will say definitely skip V for many reasons.

That seems to be the popular thing to say for those generations. And I don't like 4 so I would agree with that but I can see why it has its fans. But ACV after the servers shut down, no I can never recommend it because you can tell the game was made to be online.

Just play VI. It's not a super-tied connected series or something. No need to understand previous titles. If you somehow get hooked into the series that much, the road will present itself to you.

Armored Core 4 net me about $45.

For Answer was also just $40, because I imported.

PS3's are fairly cheap these days, prices vary per unit.

PS2 can play all the old games from 1-3, and they are easy to find and relatively cheap, depending on where you get them.

So, no piracy necessary. Support shops, support resellers.

Look at all these "fans" promoting piracy instead of supporting small businesses that are helping to keep retro gaming alive, legally.

AC 1 is available on the PS store, playable up to PS3, AC3-LR are on the PSP or at least the "mainline" 3rd gen titles are available on the PSN via PSVita to a certain extent

The rest... heeeee................ well when you have a game that has 2-4 publishers depending on the region then yeah its going to be messy
Agetec is defunct already
VD can be bought on the PS3 store so there is that

good, f the scrooges that want $200 for old game. Nah-ah

[Zero McDol]

Buy a Playstation 2 and 3, and then buy the games at Amazon.


edit:
The PS2 can play PS1 games, so no need to buy a PS1.

They all play really well on Steam Deck

Yeah, if people are selling that high, that's too much. Buy used, like I did, and save money if you want the older games.
