The game is horrible, so I watched the YT movie. At first I hated it, but soon after finishing it I watched some videos that explained how censorship killed the story. It's not as mature as NieR or Automata but it's still a brave and unique story. The more time passed, the more I thought about it and the more I loved it. It's brilliant.

Excellent gameplay, great OST even if some tracks are repeated a bit too much, love the artstyle, ok story until second half, but the second half is not very good.
Arcanist, Spiritmaster and Time Mage's ability that gives everyone 2 BP per turn is a broken combo and carries you through pretty much every major fight in the game.

The fact that I hate this game is a meme, I don't actually hate it. Ok maybe I do? Nah. It's just that Armored Core: Nexus is a game filled with ok or bad missions, everything sucks (tank legs are good though), the new controls are great but the arena is ass, the game is easy but sometimes frustrating for the wrong reasons (the bridge mission was conceived by a sadist). There's much to say on this game, the ending is one of the best in the series and the second disc starts great and finishes in a good way but the middle PP missions with the flying flowers could have stayed in that game and no one would have missed them.
This would be my favourite Ace Combat game if Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere didn't go so hard. The story is ok, I like how the game looks and plays, only a couple missions are not very fun, the gameplay is the best in the series and the OST is imo on par with Ace Combat 2 even if completely different. If you didn't get emotional during the climax of mission 19 you are lying
It's fun how what is for many the hardest game in the series can also be one of the easiest if you equip tank legs and the CR-WBW98LX. That thing is evil itself. Oh, you're a tank? No prob, 5 hits and you're dead. You're a lightweight? The moment you stop flying like a bee you get devastated. Two ACs? I don't care, get fucked. The arena? The only one in the series that doesn't require you to change build because it's completely doable with that cannon. Whoever put THAT THING in the game is an evil genius. The only times it doesn't work is when you need to complete objectives fast for the more complex routes AND against the "true" final boss (at least I couldn't make it work). Basically if tank legs are bad play hover or middleweight or whatever you want, if tank legs are ok for that mission equip the cannon and absolutely ANNIHILATE everything in your way.
Nexus was a mistake

When you when you do the what do the do the what oopsie whoopsie the what do, but it is what it is
My favourite Armored Core game and the first one to make me go lightweight because the movement is SO FUN. Maybe there's only one bad mission, it's the most consistent games in the series and the story is good. Not Last Raven good, but it is good. The NEXT designs are my favourite too.

Disaster of a game. Horrible framerate on PS3, questionable design choices, tanks suck ass and can't even boost because the booster management is ass and there is no classic boost, UI is ok but not intuitive, story has 2 or 3 good moments (the first train bit is memorable and mission 08 might be the best in the game overall) but is completely ruined by the mess on the screen and the framerate. Sometimes it's very hard to tell what's happening on screen, the game is too fast for being tactical and too janky to be entertaining. The OST is the best in the series imo but the game is not fun, at least solo. You have to be equipped for anything or a single hit makes you drop a lot of health if you don't have the big stats. This makes it that once you try a good build (heavy bipedal for big AP and overall defenses, especially TE) and find at least three weapons of three different damages you never touch the garage again. Melee weapons have no boost, kick is the way to go when it hits. Of course you have to overboost and hit enemies, but how can I when the framerate barely hits two digits?
