ranking armored core

hey buddy

i beat ac1 a while back, but ac6 really pushed me to sit down and fully digest this series. it's a good one. i don't really dislike any of these, though some are definitely more disappointing than others. ranking 'em as i go

absolutely zero some fucking contest
this game's kinda like being waterboarded until you finally realize you're not actually drowning and then you physically transform into a torrent that absolutely fucking floods everything away until nothing is left
incredible love letter to the series. goated soundtrack and finale. wish there was more environmental destruction but i'll take the cooler cinematic direction over it. also cooling is fine shut up
armored core 1 but made by an experienced dev team. just wish the last stage was crueler
i kinda thought everything after this would be better, but over time i've realized how much more memorable and consistent it is over the rest of gens 1 and 2
mostly lower highs than v but more of them nonetheless
if you dont like this game you got filtered
about as long as a sneeze but still really fun while it lasts
armored core 2: another age, but good
general gameplay is an improvement over gen 1. music and visuals are on point too. can't say the same for the actual game design - there aren't very many standout missions. arena's okay though. hustler two and count one are goated
g5 stinger reporting for duty. wa-finger my beloved
revenge premise is neat. almost 0 memorable missions, but the arena is decent and the extra disc is solid
closest i've come to disliking a game in this series. could really do without like 80 of these missions
