Forum Overview :: Reviews :: How is Armored Core a spreadsheet?

[quote name="WITTGENSTEIN"]Yeah there's a lot of gearhead porn in AC if you <b>really want to tweak and squeeze that last 5 pounds of weight</b> out of your loadout, but if you don't want to fuck with it too much then the principles are pretty sound: Heavier chassis = more armor, less mobility Lighter chassis = less armor, more mobility Faster legs = can carry less armor/heavier guns Slower legs/Tank treads = can carry more armor/heavier guns Boosters are a choice of high-power versus high-endurance Weapons are a choice of balancing damage output and ammo restrictions. Or you can just pack a grenade launcher. That's all you really need to know. Though I think after Armored Core 3 they did start catering more to the gearhead side of the equation. [/quote]
