A Gaming Diary
Armored Core: Formula Front International
It’s a PSP mech game.
I thought I was being clever, ordering the Japanese budget release rather than the expensive UK version. The Japanese version has an English language option, you see. Unfortunately, the manual’s in Japanese. As are the introductory training videos. Ah.
Anyway, I’ve muddled through. My team The Revstars have started with five mechs. I’ve renamed one of them Big Red and fiddled about with it. I’ve tuned the parts, played the with AI, that sort of thing. A lot of it is understandable, but there are lots of acronyms like EO and, er, other things that I don’t understand. What are hangers? I dunno. It’s almost like Gran Turismo, where it’s assumed you know what the difference between a manual and automatic gearbox is, or something. The whole game seems to be like that. It’s assumed you know what all these things are.
Anyway, I decided to test Big Red out. First I tried him out in AI mode and he killed the opposition. Then I tried him out in manual mode and didn’t know what the hell I was doing. Couldn’t work out which buttons did what, really, and just when I thought I was getting there, I blew up.
Oh well.
