AC will always mean Armored Core to me and I refuse to ever let that change
Armored Core rise up.

Air Conditioner is the first thing I think of. Thinking about it some more after that it would be Assassins Creed.

Advent Children or Assassin's Creed.
I always get confused when people are talking about Animal Crossing and it takes me a while to realize that's what they mean.

I never actually played Asheron's Call but that's what comes to mind about 50% of the time for me, the other 50% being Assassin's Creed.

Always going to be Armored Core for me. I don't particularly care for third person action games.

Assassin's Creed, which is sad.

I don't hate the series but I wish some of these more worthy titles sprung to mind.

Animal Crossing, Astral Chain, Assassin's Creed, Ace Combat... I mostly use it for Animal Crossing but I easily understand based on context what IP is refered to when AC is used.

This made me think of a dick post from a few months ago, someone here telling someone else who used AC for Animal Crossing : "the fuck are you on lmao ? AC doesn't mean Animal Crossing, it's universally used for Assassin's creed". Dude got confused that someone used AC for something that obviously wasn't Assassin's Creed and just didn't understood what he was talking about, so the other poster specified Animal Crossing, and so the Assassins dude for some reason got pissed off that AC was used for something not Assassin's Creed.

This poll really makes you realize how many IPs you could actually refer to when talking about AC.

Animal Crossing and Armored Core.

Which is weird to me, because I played plenty of Assassin's Creed games, but never played a single one of the two I mentioned.

I actually remember that post too, it kinda inspired me to make this thread even tho it took me a long while to get around to it

Also I just realized I never posted my own thoughts. For me it basically goes -

Animal Crossing > Assassin's Creed > Advent Children (dunno why I didn't put this on the poll) > The Rest

I just started getting into D&D though so Armor Class could rocket up

Asherons Call of course. Just don't make games like that anymore. I will never forget Darktide :)

AC is Ace Combat to me.

Assassin's Creed will always be AssCreed. Or the alternative, AssCrud.
