I have never played an armored Core game in my life so i want to know what can i expect gameplay wise or anything you have to say about this game and if it would be enjoyable for me considering this could my first game of the series. Thanks!!!!

yes its been awaited for a long time, it has to be good , most of AC games were good
id watch videos of previous installments , like ac for answer , or older ones and see how it progressed.
you get various missions to do, get money depending on your performance with which you buy parts to build your AC, normally there is also arena where you can battle rival mechs which you'll also encounter in some missions, and big boss fights. its button mash game.

Armored Core is by far the most competitive mecha shooter that rivaled chrome hounds and mech assault. MASS Builder is currently out and just got PVP. Armored core was what we golden age OG players back when xbox live and PS online were starting out with. the customizationz, the ultimates, the bulky tanks, the energy shotguns, the railguns, the BLADE MATCHES!!!! in honor of Star Wars. The Big BUBBA missile with a 8 nuke warhead, the scatter shot armor penetrator, the Rocket fist, THE PILE DRIVER FROM HELL, and your rear legged light weigh HEAVY SNIPER that literally has so much recoil it Stuns itslef. i cant get enough of ARMORED CORE

[CheeseGoblin]

The single player mission structure of Armored Core has historically been this:

Choose mission from list, bullets and damage cost you money, reward for mission is $10,000, repairs and restock fee cost you $23,000, start next mission in crippling debt, fail because no money for ammo or repairs, start new file.

There's a good chance they update the formula, but they definitely won't be wiping the slate clean.

DO NOT EXPECT SOULS
DO NOT EXPECT GUNDAM

Never expected it to be a button mashing game but ok. Thanks

Some of the stuff sound like not so subtle sexual euphemisms. Lol

If you like mecha, then you'll love this game! It's one of the few mecha games available on the market.

The controls have been great since AC Nexus on PS2, and you may have seen those pictures or memes of an inverted controller grip from time to time - those are just jokes from the Japanese community. xD

The game can be key bound to your preference since the first game on PS1, so you don't have to worry about a confusing or clunky control scheme (although the game still requires you to use all the buttons on the controller).

he gameplay is really fun and easy to understand. The missions are pretty simple: go there, destroy that stuff. But what makes the game so unique and fun is how you accomplish those missions. You need to customize your AC based on your mission and your preferences.

For the Multiplayer? I heard its only PVP here, Sadly ;-; AC4 For Answer and 5/V had one of the best coop ;-;

I hope you'll try the game! If you see anyone using an AC with 'TYPE-M' in the name, that's me

And if you love missile... You can fire up to 64 missiles at one in AC4... So I expect more here xD

nothing is good before you see real gameplay

Sounds like madness. I like it

No gameplay, how can we tell if it's good?
Preordering based off the name has never worked well in the past

i suggest you to check Daemon X Machina if you are new players of Armored Core who are on PC platform but too lazy to set up some emulators to play the older titles of AC's

storywise it's ok, but from gameplay wise it's almost the same

Heavy customization based on buying individual parts for your mecha and balancing the weight/heat/energy while slapping on a metric ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of weapons. Regular legs are balanced, hover legs are high mobility but consume a lot of energy, tank legs are slower but have a lot more weight capacity.

You're given a selection of missions to pick from in the menu and are given the details, objectives, and reward. Missions tend to be basic objectives like "Destroy X number of enemies", "Protect the escort", "blow up this building", "destroy enemy AC unit", and so forth. Beating a mission unlocks other missions, and the story branches out depending on which ones you choose to do, with different endings depending on what you do and who you choose to work for.

That's how previous games worked, at least, I don't know if they may have changed the formula this time around.
