I distinctly remember that. I remember it because it was the the first instance of my favorite video game butchering itself. It looled pretty and I thought it would be but I stuck it out to figure out that the parts don't go together the same.

I had met a gang of AC that hooked me up with the MoA for my playstation back in the day. I discarded FFVII so fast and never picked the chain back up, ever. Fuck that. I spent the week figure out how to play with the bot. They gave me the crack to go strait to the 1V1 50 and get my practicw and learning on and skip the game nonsense itself.

They gave me school lectures on how my human legged light post of no armor and...WTF...no sword? No weapons? You can't put anything on that mech when you got those rockets there. They're too big. You'll miss everything you shoot at.

Then we got to playing. It took one guy picking a map that was a cave I couldn't fly out and navigate outside the pit i fell into cuz i couldn't see anything since i move so damn fast they couldn't shoot at me anywhere with anything else in the game.

I guess AC2 might have had the old setup somehow...i just didnt care to play it. It wasn't the same.

I have actually completely quit all video games and don't miss them. Maybe if i figure out hwo to emulate the original...and chain it to another emulator...but bar that...no temptation even exists anymore.

...Armored Core 2? The person you replied to is talking about Assassin's Creed 2...
