so after watching some youtubs of acv it looks like it's the first one that actually sells the giant robots as bigger than a guy due to having environments that have any frame of reference and interiors that mostly aren't giant robot scale rooms everywhere

so question to peoples who know ac games better than me: do any of the earlier games do a good job with environments too or are the youtube videos of endless grey corridors big enough to boost around p. accurate for the most part?

cause' I could probably deal with that for like master of arena where everything was built for robots to fight in buuut in general I'd like my giant robot action to feel like it involves robots of above average size

or should I just get ACV and maybe a gold account for multiplayer?

Ford being Tasmanian means there's really just zak and i playing

And because the Japanese don't understand multi without 4-5 people we can't really participate in the proper multi

The mercenary system isn't just bizarrely clunky but there's never more than 2 people available. :v

It's my NAT settings apparently. Trying to open up some ports.

the nat thing might be a stock 'try this' thing; it tells me when i'm using 3g that i will have 'reduced experience' or whatever which means huge lag

but ac5 is full of bizarre multi errors; sometimes zak and i can't see each others' status or join chats etc

ps we really wantr to attack earthworm jim clan

I wasn't able to fix it up, and I need to get to work on an essay, so I'll just satisfy myself with purchasing phat loot from the simJen Horizons stable. I bought this big ass sniper cannon on the assumption it would help me take out that huge five legged laser boat.

PS. the team emblem owns

ps if you work out how to use it as an emblem yourself let me know

i had to manually trade it to zak

and i don't think that'd work to you

My pass has prolly run out by now

Do you guys intend to hold onto the game? I'd really like to get online with ACV once I fix my issue

And not just because I need your firepower to deal with the walking flying saucer :v

man we just skipped that lol

zak seems to like it

but i'll prolly return it and buy it again in a few weeks once i'm settled in my new place

if manus and ohma are going to be around and we can all get together i think the game might be cool
i certainly had fun placing the laser turrets around our snowcap base

Man that is fair, it was bad timing for me to buy it too lol

simJen Horizons will dominate the Australian robit scene

Gluing simjen branding all over my robit makes me feel awesome

This is the power of SimJen marketing

Emergent in all quarters

Actually I can probably spare some armour space for a Horizons decal

The knee shield is a good zone depending on what legs you use.
