Worth it, or should I stick to Project Wingman? Saw that it's available on fitgirl, but it says you need a hypervisor or some shit. Haven't played games in a while so im not up to date with all the latest stuff but it sounds sketchy

You're gonna get a lot of memes, but the real answer is to emulate 5 or 0 and see if you like the gameplay in them, because that's mostly what you'll be doing in every AC game. The upside is that if its not to your liking then you didn't have to waste 70 bucks to find out. The downside is you're not going to be in on the conversation because its not the << Current Thing >>.
>>

Absolutely not. Unless you are already a flight sim autist just look up rule34 of Tasha and Kate, jerk off and get it out of your system. In fact that's good advice in general before making any financial decision, to jerk off.

If you've got a PS2 (or PS1 or PSP or Xbox 360 or DS) emulator set up then you should go emulate one of those games for free, they're also pretty good and the core gameplay is basically the same throughout the series

Knowledge, more than execution, makes S-rank for both those missions pretty straightforward. For 15, it's knowing to balance damage on both, instead of dealing with one at full health and all its bullshit unlocked. For 28, it's knowing what direction to sweep the battlefield, and to bring SASMs.

1. Some islands rebel against the government, you and your mercenaries kick their ass
2. Half the continent rebels against the government, you and your mercenaries kick their ass
3. Two corporations, the UN, and Matrix terrorists fight each other, you kick their ass but it was all the Matrix
4. An asteroid gets blown up by a railgun which scatters destructive meteorites everywhere, then a country steals the railgun to fight Your Country. Meanwhile, your rival unwittingly raises a kid he accidentally orphaned
5. Their Russia goes to war with Your America, Nazis/Jews responsible. Meanwhile, your team becomes so good at black ops everyone thinks they're legendary demons
0. Germans go to war with everyone, you and your mercenary buddy kick their ass, then anarchists show up and you kick their ass. Meanwhile, they make a documentary about you and everyone you ever fought
6. Poor Russia goes to war with Your Canada, you kick their ass. Meanwhile, who cares
7. The railgun stealers are back to fight Your Country and Your America, but they have drones this time. You accidentally the American President, go to plane prison, become a real pilot again, and kick the asses of the drones and Nazis/Jews who framed you. Meanwhile, a madman with a submarine goes for a higher score than yours so you kick his ass
8. Mongolians go to war with Your Country, you kick their ass after taking up the mantle of the guy who they said was kicking ass for propaganda reasons but wasn't for other reasons, also he's haunting you the whole time. Meanwhile, a corporation is pulling strings behind the scenes to set the stage for 3
X. Brazil goes to war with Argentina because Brazil's corporation wants to make money. Meanwhile, your AWACS becomes a man
AH. Call of Duty
AHL. Not Call of Duty, actually just 2
JA. Call of Bad Controls
Infinity. Terrorists stealing railguns and gamer girls are literally ruining everything

It's worth mentioning that you don't really need to know the plots of any of the other games besides the one you're currently playing, you get told everything you need to know, though there are always references and cameos and whatever else you'll appreciate the more you know
All the numbered games and X (not 10 in Latin) take place in the same setting but in different wars and often times different parts of the world over a 45~ year time span, everything else is some variation of Earth
And there are some other games like Advance and Northern Wings but nobody cares and the only version of 3 worth caring about is the Japanese one because the International release was gutted of all story content
I'm definitely forgetting other things to say

I'm a slave to bamco for ace combat so i preordered the deluxe.

Exactly. No one considers base AC7 a game worth playing and people only started praising it (and got its first million sales) after the DLC was released. Bamco got away with selling a shit $60 game and then selling the content that finally makes it worth playing at $30 later.

The people praising the release version of 7 in the wake of 8's launch are indeed moved by contrarianism, just like Nioh 1, another game that was always considered unplayable and just the alpha version of Nioh 2, suddenly became a good game in the wake of Nioh 3's launch.

>m28 nerfed s22's squad infinite flares
it's reasonable for them to nerf it since its design is inconsistent from everything else in the game
the actual fight mechanics were something along the lines of:
>use missiles on a s22 member
>after X flares are used by a s22 member then the whole squad does a group kulbit
>joust one of the s22 members during the group kulbit for a kill
>repeat
and then people realized you can just brute force with SASMs

but am i crazy to assume this is weirdly inconsistent with the overall design that the game has, considering they spoonfeed you everywhere else in the game (land battleships, etc.)
i just want to emphasize i'm fine with both infinite/finite flares since thematically why would the ultimate challenge of the game die to regular missiles so easily
>>
>>750066615
Fair enough. I always thought it was interesting because all the theorizing over them being the next stage of humanity amounts to nothing since they either are too sparse to matter or belong to the focus group of central characters that gets killed off during the unending wars in a 30 year period.
>>
>>750066259
>there is a non-zero chance that AC9 will be AC3 2: Electrospheric Boogaloo
To me, it feels like they're a little hesitant to dip back into Electrosphere. AC7 felt like the end of the "modern" era, especially with the drone planes and lasers and being titled "Skies Unknown", but then AC8 actually took a step back somewhat. We might get another solidly pre-Electrosphere era game before they decide to start dipping their toes in.

You know you can change where your nose is pointing, right? Just remember to pull up before you add to the ground's unmatched combat record.
Or just pick an attacker, their guns are angled down.
>>
I'm glad that you can basically skip all cutscenes but the amount of forced dialogue in-gameplay that you need to listen to until you get to the next sequence or cutscene is quite annoying on subsequent playthroughs. Literally flying straight and putting my controller down and getting a drink while they keep yapping over cooms.
>>
>>750067241
>So whats with the poppy flowers then? I'm kinda retarded and can't into symbolism.
they're called "Windflowers", soi Cope uses them to represent his desire for the freedom to be able to fly together with Tewy without war and violence.
>>
>>750067241
Just a random flower that was native to Sotoa, it being around despite the country having turned into a desert is I guess a metaphor for them being hardy people who will stick around like Cope's ghost did

It's absurd that you still have to skip cutscenes when doing free missions and you have to watch cutscenes to get to the aircraft tree

it's also retarded that, whenever you unlock something on the tree, you have to watch all the lines connect even when some of them are already connected. you can skip the animation but still

I finished the game yesterday and fucking loved it. There are some things I'm not that into, but overall I liked it more than 7 and think I would put it next to the holy trinity. I've been avoiding the threads ever since I got it. What did /v/ think about it? Judging from this thread it seems like most people liked it. Are you guys enjoying the multiplayer? I still need to check that out. Which fighters did you guys go for first? Usually I go Russian from the start, but this time I worked my way up to the F-22 first and then went for the F-35. Managed to still use the Su-57 for the last few missions except for the very last, where I went for the canon option for style points. I'm going to work on getting S-ranks on Ace difficulty next. Also the soundtrack was incredible again. I even bought the vinyl collection.
>>
I dunno man. I think Baxter made a lot of valid points on the Sotoan question
>>
>>750068642
Yes? and they're also called windflowers

>>750069214
The notes don't specifically state if it's a nerf or a buff but judging by how many people whined about both, a nerf is looking way more likely. Which is disappointing because this already felt like one of the easiest AC games, even on Ace difficulty.
>>
>>750069249
I'm having fun with the online but objectively speaking it's pretty barebones and needs a lot of work. The balancing is pretty ass and it's grindy as hell.
>>
>>750070043
The M28 Shadows are 100% getting a nerf, the only way to adjust their flare limit from "infinite" is down

>>750070321
PW is great, too. What makes you call it "literal diarrhea"?
>>
>>750069249
I think it's better on average than 7 but I feel like 7's missions were far more memorable for both better and worse. It certainly does better with the characters and with keeping the story coherent, none of that bullshit like "btw harling was killed by false flag drones" dropped unceremoniously in the middle of active combat that 7 pulled.
>>
>>750067729
Oh shit I was wondering why I kept fucking up my approaches in attackers.
>>
>>750045861
holy shit the first time playing that mission, especially on a higher difficulty
the way the music builds as you're holding down full throttle chasing after the ladons and the tension of chasing just to barely keep lock-on
they fucking cooked so hard for that mission unexpectedly since it's directly after m14's bizarre very scripted stealth mission
>>
>>750070486
i haven't played 7 but i've seen so many people comparing it to 8 in terms of its missions reaching extremes, as in higher highs and lower lows vs 8
