Sounds like your classic armored core to me. Though I'm pretty sure that anything capable of setting an entire star system on fire would probably destroy the planet it happened on...Armored Core 6 Story Overview

Sounds like they rebranded the Kojima Particles from AC4 into this new "unknown" substance. Though it does mean that the powerlevel of the AC games have reached planet busting levels.Sounds like your classic armored core to me.

That's the funny part, somehow the planet is still there since as per the summary, the substance resurfaced on the planet where it happened. Magic substance somehow sets an entire star system on fire without destroying the planet the reaction took place on.Sounds like they rebranded the Kojima Particles from AC4 into this new "unknown" substance.

From what I can tell, it sounds like it turned the entire solar system into what Mercury is going through daily.That's the funny part, somehow the planet is still there since as per the summary, the substance resurfaced on the planet where it happened.

You can actually see it happen in the trailer as well as it's aftermath, it's the part before it says Feed the fire. Somehow, this mystery substance managed to cause a reaction that lit up the entire solar system with a weird heat and gas effect but didn't even do enough damage to fully scour the planet it happened on of manmade structures. I'm genuinely just gonna chalk it down to sci fi writers have no sense of scale because that genuinely seems like what's happened here.From what I can tell, it sounds like it turned the entire solar system into what Mercury is going through daily.
Eh. I can suspend my disbelief just for the change to zoom around in a giant robot and mow down hoards of mooks.You can actually see it happen in the trailer as well as it's aftermath, it's the part before it says Feed the fire.

Hey I never said I wouldn't enjoy the story or the action, I just found the set up to it very silly in a "you know I'm pretty sure that would probably have melted the surface of the planet at a minimum" kind of way.Eh.

Baulder's Gate 3 has an out-of Early Access date, August 2023.
Also, look who is back:
AND BOO!!!! YOU FORGOT BOO!!!Honestly, Jaheira making a return is getting me more hyped than Minsc.
Dwarf Fortress (Steam) is fun but damn they could take a few tips from Rimworld on the UI. Menus nested in menus nested in more menus not to mention certain things being tedious as hell.
If you're lucky you get a bathing scene where you don't really see anything or the like. I very much doubt the people running Final Fantasy would do anything actually fun like extensive clothing damage that lets you see something or the like.So apparently FF16 is going to have 'partial nudity' in it. I know that could mean a lot of things, but I would be legit surprised if we ended up actually seeing naked boobs in a Final Fantasy game.
The only one not brainwashed is Wonder Woman.You have no idea how happy I am to see that Batman is also brainwashed. I was worried it was just going to be evil Superman or every member of the Justice League except Batman. I've gotten pretty damn tired of BatGod.
Isn't bats actually dead even on the "got mind controlled" front for recent animated stuff/universe? Both he and supes got controlled in young justice, he got nabbed and used as Darksyde's strategist in the last movie before they did another reboot (supes instead got kryptonite sewn into his chest and sent wandering). He almost got possessed in the Trigon related Teen Titans movie but barely managed to jab himself with something that nearly killed him via paralysing all his muscles instead effectively removing him from the plot which is less resisting mind control and more rendering it pointless to possess him (by contrast supes and the others got to play a part fighting Trigon for a bit).You have no idea how happy I am to see that Batman is also brainwashed.

Lowkey wanting a Radahn vs Armored Core fightEh. I can suspend my disbelief just for the change to zoom around in a giant robot and mow down hoards of mooks.
Feels like a win for Radahn. I think the Raven would need Radahn to be in his feral state to have a shot at victory.

Radahn is prolific in Gravity magic, such that even having lost basically all higher brain functions due to the Scarlet Rot he kept total control of the gravity field around the planet for decades, as his death cutscene shows a meteor shower that he'd been keeping at bay. When he's in perfect health and in his right mind, his control of Gravity would be such that attempting to crush an AC with AOE gravitational force would be considered an opening move.Can the giant brute hit stuff moving at range at upwards of 2000km/h? Through a field of matter-decaying particles? No? He loses then.
Reasonably sure dodging his comet attack would be easy for a Lynx.
Sure I guess he'd fuck up most AC1-3 cores, and almost anything could fuck up ACV cores, but Primal Armour and the sheer speed of 4A means they hit well above anything else in the series.
Like ... Haven't played ER, but a AC4A core could get from one end of the map to the other in ... 30 seconds ish.
I would imagine that the range is the biggest issue, or rather in this case his ability to attack an Armored Core that's far enough away that he can't see it. Radann is able to stop the meteors from crashing to earth, so you've got to figure the range on his abilities is pretty impressive, but at the same time, getting line of sight on the meteors is comparatively easy when all you need to do to see them is look up. Armored Cores are a lot smaller than the meteors, while still being able to pack weapons with impressive enough ranges* that Radann might not be able to see the Armored Core before it starts firing. and since Radann doesn't seem to have any jedi-esque precognitive abilities, it's hypothetically possible for an Armored Core to be mounted with sufficiently long range and/or indirect fire weapons that they could simply take out Radann before he even realizes that the Armored Core is actually in the area.Radahn is prolific in Gravity magic, such that even having lost basically all higher brain functions due to the Scarlet Rot he kept total control of the gravity field around the planet for decades, as his death cutscene shows a meteor shower that he'd been keeping at bay.

I don't know much about Armored Core so I can't say definitively how much they can take, but I figure mechs would have some trouble with concentrated gravity. Radahn's cast speed would be an important factor in figuring out who has the advantage.

* I'm admittedly not too familiar with Armored Core, but assuming that it has guns that are either equal to, or superior to modern day military weaponry, you've got to figure they've got the ability to shoot Radann at a distance farther than he himself can see over the horizon. For reference, a modern day barret 50. caliber anti materiel rifle has a long enough that the coriolis effect becomes a genuine thing that needs to be taken into account on the outside of its maximum range, and that's for something designed to be man-portable. It's easy to imagine Armored Core mounted guns having a longer range than that.
That technically depends on what you mean by long range. The mechs themselves don't really do long range combat because trying to precision snipe a target capable of dodging to the side at over a 1000+km/hr is not really doable. But in setting you also had shit like the Spirit of Motherwill casually shooting at you from a massive distance while you try to close in while going at 1600km/hr dodging long range cannon shots the size of your mech the entire time so it's not as if long range doesn't exist. It's just not really useful for trying to fight the top of the line stuff.

You do see people with some more long ranged approaches on AC but the limit isn't so much the range on the weaponry as much as "how far can I be before I'm wasting time and ammunition trying to shoot these people?" . Another AC is going to be too agile to be worth trying to snipe at long distances while Normals and drones aren't going to be worth the cost in ammunition to snipe at longer range. Meanwhile Arms forts are so heavily armored that you need to hit weakspots and those tend to be either inside them or in areas that are hard to hit. There being no point in doing it doesn't mean they couldn't whip something up to achieve it. They had laser weapons and what we can assume were rail guns in setting after all, range shouldn't be an issue.Ok, true... but on the other hand that's also not an AC; that was a fortress.
