Armored Core 2: Another Age (with dual stick support).

Mission 1 is not beginner friendly. Every follow-up mission is not beginner friendly... and yet I still think this is a great place to start because it just lets you explore the armored core systems at your own pace. I went for an extreme speed, super lightweight build recently and boy, I sure learnt a lot about how much of a bad idea that can be...

But it depends on what exactly you're after:

I want to get in on the Armored Core hype: play 6
I want an Armored Core experience: play 4 Answers
I want to get into Armored Core: play 2 Another Age

Also, playing an earlier one first just feels nicer because you can feel the ACs getting slicker as the series progresses.

EDIT: Honestly, if you actually just wanted to skim the series, those 3 games would be my suggestions as well

I just 6 on my msi claw, its the easy one because controls and animationa are responsive and fast.
Where else the older games on older systems the crappy controls and choppy gfx makes its harder for beginners/pros.

Armedcore for Answer on ps3 was hell with the big battlestation, its was like snapshots gameplay.

I only played PS2 ones and I started from this one:

https://retrogametalk.com/repository/ps2-iso/silent-line-armored-core-true-analogs-hack/

It was pretty much a normal game without any difficulty whatsoever for me especially compared to most video games in existence. And then I noticed in each newer PS2 game the series became for "those who are experts of the previous game". And then in Last Raven shit got too for "expert of the experts and luckiest motherfucker on the planet" shit so at least you may know you gotta avoid Last Raven at all cost lol. After playing Last Raven playing Dark Souls from 1st to last I felt like I'm playing easier Silent Line game in Dark Souls skin all again lol.
