I always come heavy. It has put serious strain on my relationships and bathroom tiles.

Look at those flying robots!

Oh, He got the Mango Sentinel!

@ludorverr: Shithole? What makes you say that?

I looked at the title real fast and could've sworn it said, "Armored Core V Still has big Robotron". And I was like, "NO WAY! ROBOTRON!" XD I was so happy there for a minute - I thought there was a fun bonus mode inspired by Robotron using the mech models from the normal game as the Robotron enemies. Now I'm sad because that isn't what this is :(

Ooh, Robitmin.

Hopefully the Giantbomb crew can give the GameSpot editors some grammer tips.

At first glance, this confused me also. I think it's in past tense, describing their playthrough. Maybe.

ITS JUST LIKE MY JAPANESE ANIMES

So, instead of humanities there are mech-anities?

Grammar as opposed to Kelsey Grammer?

I guess "from the makers of King's Field" wouldn't have the same marketing punch.

First person to say "um.... they're mecha" is getting SIX FLAMING CHAINSAWS TO the throat!

God-I-love-mechs!

man, they pull some of the shittiest qoutes:

"The Action Never Let up."

Roboner!

@Artemesia: It's big giant robots.

Dear Namco

Once again you folks in Japan are making games that look and play like they were from eight years ago. You should go on You Tube, you have that in Japan I'm sure, so go there watch HAWKEN. Yeah, pretty impressive right! Guess what Namco... that was made by Adhesive Games which is just a a small independent game studio located in Los Angeles, CA. And yeah it totally makes Armored Core V look like a bunch of dirty hypodermic needles that wash up on a beach, right? So my advice is to just drop ACV now and pull all advertising...save a bit of money...then take that money and just give it to Adhesive Games to make a XB360 port of HAWKEN.

Umm... I believe "mecha" is the plural form of AAAAHGHGHGH! MY THROAT!

It's a shame for that other mech game that I get mixed up between which one is this and which one is that.

Slower combat than 4/4A is a good thing. I've always enjoyed AC games and am eager to play this one.

Buying this tonight! I am way too excited.

UM THEYRE ARMORED CORES .... its in the fucking name

swell

Looks cool but never played an AC game before. I feel like I would get lost in all the customization.

Pretty cool but pulling for Hawken :D

Thy look fucking stupid but that's Japan I guess.

Please regale us with some elaboration. Why do they look stupid? I can't imagine what about giant robots shooting each other looks stupid to you.

Ha, yeah that's pretty bad. Half of the quotes seem out of context too. It's like pull quotes on bad movies, where you imagine a quote like "Funniest movie of the year" was actually preceded by "It tries to be the..." and ended in "...but fails miserably."

I like how it's "From the creators of Dark Souls!" now that Dark Souls enjoys more success than AC ever does.

Why doesn't From software invest a bit more in their tech department?
I liked the Souls games but they and this game look like something from 5 years ago or more, graphics wise.

A new Armored Core is pretty exciting, not my favourite mech series, but they've usually been good for a bit of fun. Though to be honest, mecha have typically never really been my preferred genre of choice. Still, it beats military shooter 9000 Deluxe.

@ludorverr: Gee, thanks for the random racism there. Why is my country so appalling to you that you can say that, yet seem to still be an avid consumer of things we produce?

Anyone who would use this term deserves to get punched in the throat for real.

I would never want to live in the shithole that is Japan and yet I've seen over 300 anime. I think I've earned the right to use that word, jerkwad.

Ah, blind ass nationalism. Just the thing I need before going to bed.

Fucking troll.

I've loved Armored Core forever, it's such an amazing series! Can't wait to grab it!

They look like boxes stapled together, like spindly square shaped robot parts that have no real weight, and no real mass.

That tagline is awesome...

"Oh I'll come heavy all right! I'll come the heaviest!"

Come heavy? OH BOY

Am I the only one who thinks giant fighting robots are kinda boring?

Reading previews about this game it sounds like it's Chromehounds with AC style mechs and controls, which is fantastic because Chromehounds was totally awesome and fairly unique especially with how multiplayer worked and the level of integration clans had in it. Very excited to check this out if it really does do multiplayer that is similar to Chromehounds!

I like how one of the player's name was "Mango Sentinel."

Haven't been this curious about a game in a while. I hope they guys do a quick look.
