Armored Core: 2 | All Bosses

Armored Core: 2 | All Bosses 67 years after Master of Arena, Earth's second largest corporation, Zio Matrix, acquires plans for a research project on Mars, dating back before the Great Destruction. Using these plans, Zio Matrix sends a research team to Mars to begin the Terraforming Project, which causes the Martian surface and atmosphere to approximate that of Earth. Other corporations learn of the project and quickly follow Zio Matrix, bringing with them the competitive environment that existed on Earth, and the employ of the mercenaries of Nerves Concord. A collection of all the AC and boss encounters found within the game Armored Core 2 to showcase the fights and gameplay. The game is emulated using pcsx2 and was originally made in 2002 for the Play Station 2, as such the graphics will naturally be a bit dated at this stage. In the 2nd Generation of Armored Core it can be a bit more difficult to determine what could be considered a boss. For this video I have deemed 'bosses' to include AC's, unique disorder units, the land fortress SRBIA and the battleship Albright.

It's bloody strange, and its best to remap the controls to the downpad and the face buttons on a controller to use them as quasi-joysticks. Unfortunately I downloaded a save with H+ features which I was not aware of until I had completed the game and watched others. Which is why I was able to use the Pulse Cannon, Plasma Cannon and Grenade Launcher on my back without kneeling. Which no doubt would have made a few of the bosses easier including the final two. Though mechanically it would be fairly easy to just alter my build and get some extra ammunition, staying up in the air and hammering them down rather than getting on the ground for a more fair fight. I download the save so that I can build and play an AC that I can consistently use through all the missions, as opposed to changing it constantly.
