has anyone datamined the game yet? I'd like to have the texture from the Endurance crew caps so I can get it embroidered
What planes did you use during your first campaign run?
So what will the post launch roadmap be like, will there be dlc within two months?
>>582998196If artbook anon could take a clearer picture of the hat on page 179 i could probably take a crack at it
>>582998315Outside of the starter? Mirage put in a lot of work in the early game, then the F-15J for general purpose and the single-seat Super Hornet for anything naval. Hit the F-35 by Expo City and stuck with it outside of missions 28 and 29, which necessitated the F-22's procurement. Went back to the F-35 for the finale because it deserved top billing.
Which was more egregious?>penal airforceOr>Stunt pilot in military squadron who wont use weapons or engage while on combat flightsCall it
>>582998315Hornet and Super Hornet, I did unlock the Raptor but it felt wrong to use anything other than a carrier plane for my first run>>582998746atleast with Tasha, there's zero risk of her either running away or potentially deciding to defect or go on a rampage (which none of the Spare Squadron members did tbf but it did come close to that with those rumors mentioned in one of the scenes in 7)
>>582998746Penal airforce just feels more ridiculous to me.
Why make the plane tree so expensive if you can't unlock everything in a single run and the game has zero replayability?
>>582998315I gravitated towards the su-33 as soon as i got it, but i also picked up the rafale and typhoon as high end backup for when i would need it at the end
>Refuel>Boss fight with shields>Missile chase>LandingReplaying mission 22 is going to be a massive pain in the ass, I just know it>>582999372Because you might play it again for funAnd you can't play through it on Ace the first time
>>582999372what do you even mean zero replayability
>>582999439is there like a special story branching path if i play Ace or something?
>>582998746Conscripting civies in a desperate situation is one thing, giving convicts armed planes in any situation is completely insaneAs expected of Osea
>>582997723>the only way to reliably penetrate the Turretussy is with a bunker busterDamn, must be very THICC
>>582999518I know all the story beats, all the enemies, and have finished the game already, there's nothing different on consequent runs like Ace Combat Zero.
>>582998315Su-47, F-4E, F-14A and D, F-15J, Strike Eagle, F/A-18C, E and EA-18G. Last flight were 4 F/A-18Es because canon plane.
>>582999439Only game where your choice really matters is X. Zero has the same major plot only with different ace bosses
>The guy who made that awful popular video essay that tried to tie AC to trans shit just got outed as a rapistlol
>>582999590Not sure if bait or just the holy mother of all larpers
>>582999536... So not for fun?
>>582999850It's always the ones you least suspect, eh?
https://x.com/GIHI_DAI1/status/2105482101894295667I mean really what the fuck are we even doing here guys?
You guys have problem with a Trans?
>>583000212We're not crashing into the same cape where my family lives and making them only live in my memories of days past.
>>582999770This is going to sound crazy, but 4 wasn't actually the first game in the series.
>>582999850Fuck did he do now
>Mon visage quand this drops in ACO out of the bluehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUUchxqHIpM
>>583000780I got a chub when Liberation of Gracemeria started playing at the end of a co-op assault mission
>>583000617There's only one thing you get called a rapist for doing, anon.
I haven't actually used the A-10 in 8 yet, how does the gun sound?
I have finished Ace Combat 8: The Wings of Theve. What did I think about it? Holy shit you guys weren't lying about those last few missions being a fucking slog.
>>583000259Is that short for Tarantula? Because I like that fat fuck but I don't think it'd be appropriate for Ace Combat.wait
>Just want to chill while popping ground clusters with my Mirage>Local tards nuke entire map with MorgansI want to punch them, I really do.
>>583001118>Last few missionsWhat do you mean, I've seen nothing but praise for most of the last missions here, it's just the actual final mission people (fairly) bitch about
>>583001149try again in 12 hours
>>583001192The 'oh shit theres 1000 bogeys' mission was just ok, im not in love with it or anything. Tewy Chewy fight was better than Shadow 22's and her death was funny. Final mission is genuinely just boring. But then again so was Ace Combat 7's, maybe they learned the wrong lessons.
Maybe I'm crazy but I swear when Gemma showed up my maneuverability got cut in halfLike my Rafale lost all its parts
>>583001149Making the PvE missions competitive instead of regular coop was a really dumb idea, because it encourages this exact bullshit.
>>583000259That's a TransALL
>>583001486I'm not sure that's really the cause. People want to kill everything even in pure coop. You play a raid and people will still try to rush in and get as many kills as possible. That's just how it goes, there are targets, people want to kill them.The real problem is simply that they put a pay to win plane in the game. Or pay to skip grind for a top tier plane, whatever.
what's the best mission for money grinding?>>583001308NTA but I actually really liked the 1000 enemies mission up until the Shadow 22 fight, i don't know what they were thinking adding infinite flares and PSMs disabling missile guidance on top of all the usual ace pilot BS
Huh??? I have 900GB of free space in the drive I have the game in
mission 28 is going to make getting the no damage campaign medal an absolute bitch, especially since they put the shadow 20 squadron right at the end of the fuckin thing
>>583001801>He does the Felon stall thing>Ok he's stood still I'll shoot missiles at him>They never ever ever connect>End up just using the gun
I was genuinely surprised that Immortals and Jackpot survived the game
Do you think anyone will notice if I cheat in MRP
>>583001856I'm assuming that it set aside a specific amount of space for replays so it doesn't end up crowding out the entire drive.
>>583001118>>583001308When i see shit like this i ask to myself which fucking ace combat did you play that you actually liked
>>583002043Jackpots were jobber squadron, they 100% lost like 10+ people over the course of the game but they were nameless.
>>583001856it only saves the last X amount of replays, after which it starts to overwrite them unless you favorite them
I'll be joining you guys in... About ten and a half hours. Along with all the other B-tier paypiggies.I know I shouldn't but I'm considering jumping straight into multiplayer in the hopes some others are doing the same and it's not a complete morganfest.
>>583002245They actually lose some named members depending on your action, like for example Jackpot 9 (the girl with the vietnamese name) can die on Mission 8 if you're too slow.
>>583002075Did you disable EAC yet? If you open CE it'll flag you
>>583002319Seriously? I had her all the way through to the end.
>>583002243Peaked at Zero's final boss, sorry. Can never recapture the magic.
>>583002319Good thing I saved her, she's super cute
wtf???
>>583002243Still nowhere close to 6. The bossfight is genuinely JA-tier, and mission also tricks you into thinking that it's highest point of the game in the first half.
>>583002392Let's agree to disagree.For me Zero was good but it doesn't even break the top3 anymore.I guess the AC0 fanbase isn't eating good, while the AC5 has eaten good with AC8
>>583002010Your mistake was believing this was real life. Missiles in strangereal are dumbfounded by cobras and kulbits.
>>583002718what's your top 3 then? I'm curious
>>583002245fcu in general takes so many horrendous losses it's a miracle they can even do anything by the end of the game. that's actually the weakest story beat come to think of it>fcu down to 30 pilots or so>they all start dropping like flies>satoa brings out a thousand planes after they've lost>how the fuck did you lose even with the mute
>dad, why is my sister named rose?>because your mother loves roses>thanks dad>no problem, purple magic gigachad
>>583002607<<ENTERING ELECTROSPHERE>>
>>583003000I think it's more just someone else was pretending to be him.there was one impostor amogus
It's pretty funny to me how that one autist's OC Rose Squadron ended up becoming kind of canon here.
>>583002881AC5 -> AC8 -> AC6 -> AC0 -> AC4 -> AC7 -> AC3 -> ACXNot saying that any of these are bad, like at all. They are all S to S++ but it's strange seeing people hating on what (for me and all the friends that i know) makes the games great.
>>583002319How does this affect later mission stuff? how this works in free mission and story mode
>>583000000
>>583002607>x-files_theme.mp3
>>583003512what a fucking waste
what is the fucking point of putting a hot young slut in the team if she wasn't going to end up with the main character?this is such a cucked game
>>583003779hello tourist, did you like your first ace combat game?
it's interesting that Rex is implied to be around Baxter's age, personally I've always assumed that our mute protagonists are pretty young (like mid-20's at the oldest).
>583003779First time, /v/ermin?
>>583003779That's not Tewy.
>>583003779She does, you just didn't get that ending
>>583003879we're getting older, anon
>>583003779If you don't kill the GEMMA nuggets Tasha becomes your girlfriend, retard kun
I felt bad when Bravery's ensign died, she sounded cute
>>583003850go fuck yourself trannyI bought & completed every single AC game on releaseI didn't like that they added a Instagram slut in the team but if she got with the mc I'd let it passbut nope, they gave her to the #4 emo cuck simp
>>5830013081000 bogeys mission was fun for me due to it just being a big dumb dogfight mission with a lot of targets and a ace fight at the end, dialogue was just as cringe as the last mission though and its what brings it down.
That Sotoan robo-bitch is cold as fuck. Amazing performance and writing desu.
>>583004034Sorry, but GEMMA flight lead blowing her brains out after being shot down because all the nuggets got killed makes me diamonds so I can't allow it.
>mission 20
>>583004338>Would you please?
>>583004387>tfw she chokes you with her robot hand while jerking you off with her working onethere are too many waifus in this game, it's too much.
>>583004356>Dealer lets the psychopath off the leashhttps://youtu.be/kpnW68Q8ltc
Anyone gotten the Ace on Mission 20? The description doesn't really help.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6gVNCtNEr8
So it is possible
>>5830049238's soundtrack mogs 7's just saying
Does anyone remember how the difuclty adustment in ACI worked? was wondering how it might aply to AC 8's MP mode.
>>583004578Fucking kino>>583004590Yes, I assume you just have to kill everything in sight like I did
>>583005175Enemies got +20% hp and way more damage. Maybe ten times the default damage? It was way more. And there was a new fourth phase that appeared after what would have normally been the end.
My name is Raymond. People shorten it to 'Ray' all the time.I know the 'Ray' used in-game isn't short for Raymond, but I still felt vaguely pleasant feelings whenever our wingmen said it.
Why are people complaining about Mission 15?I just tailed them with an F14 while cycling missiles and the two AA weapons and got an S rank first try. They even outright tell you to equip full-on AA weaponry in the briefing.Am I being baited? They even make clear readable turns when preparing their bombing runs on the fleet (meaning you can skip their curve to get on their ass) or alternatively target their engine first to slow them down.
>>583005175>>583005365Wait, unless you're just asking how it was selected, in which case it was effectively a different map. Instead of picking Tokyo/Dubai/whatever you picked Tokyo (hard)/Dubai (hard)/whatever (hard).Raids also had four different levels where they got more hp/damage and maybe some other special things. MD3/4 had laser CWIS for example, and SOLG3/4 had a bunch of Morgans show up halfway throught (I think, maybe that was a thing on lower SOLGs too). And they turned red/gold/black so they looked fancy.
>>583005468I found that mission really intense and really liked it, I guess it's just a skill issue from the people complaining about it
>>583005413Its because Rex is a Ray of Hope
>>583005468When i did it with a su33 i tried shoving hvaas up his ass but he fucks me up with the defense missiles and lasers, since i try to blow up his defenses before the enginesI never learned his slowdowns
Picking up this game again but i don't like playing on an emulator.Is Assault Horizon good?
>>583002607But then WHO WAS PLANE????
>>583005627>different dialogue depending on which you shoot down firstkino i guess>Answer like that again and you're on the first bus back to the farm.
>>583005468I think people equipped shit like hvaa or some other dogfighting weapon, failed, switched to mig-31 and then had a hard time because speed doesn't help.
how many fictional super planes are in the roster?
>>583005769No
>>5830058203
Not so much a thing here but it was funny seeing how many people thought the Berkut was a fictional AC original plane and not actually a real thing this week
>>583005779It's funny how much Sotoan dialogue indicates that most of them are total fucking hicks who had never seen a plane before this war. They're astonishingly competent considering the circumstances.
>>58300582036, 36, 40
>>583005841I don't want to skip to Skies Unknown... the last time I played this game was Electrosphere...
>>583005984I think it's the Sotoan-Yuktobanian war where most of them cut their teeth. And to be fair after dealing with Yuke pilots the FCU chumps must have seemed like cake.
>>583006034You'll be happy to know Assault Horizon has nothing to do with any of the other games so skip all you likeThere's a recompile for 6 if that's more your speed8 has a port of Zero attached to its preorder, someone's probably separated them so you could pirate it too
>>583005302Did you really get the Ace there though? Doesn't the fucker fly a Su-35?
>>583006034Assault Horizon has little to do with the mainline series. If you're not willing to emulate the PS2 games, just go to 7 and cope.
>>583006034Well, there'a PC port of ACZ that comes with 8 from but you can pirate and play it without having to buy and install 8.
>>583005984half of them are superstitious hicks who believe 5 wings in the sky is a bad omen the other half are begging them to stop the voodoo mumbo jumbo because their superweapon is currently cooking them alive from the inside
Do any cool extra planes unlock beyond the starting plane tree during the campaign? Or does that only happen once I finish the campaign? The only one I got so far is the plane you use to flee in that one mission. Don't have to tell me which ones, just if that is a thing. The whole time I'm wondering if I'm missing out by not finding secret optional stuff during missions (if there is any) or something.
>>583006196its just 3 bonus planes at the end of the tree for beating the game. specifically starting at the f-35, don't go all in on f-22 or felon if you want the superplanes first
>>583006160The internal conflict is great. There's those guys on the Podarge convoy that get pissed off at their overly patriotic CO clogging up the comms with his yammering while they're getting shot to pieces, for example.
>>583006140I didn't fight any Su-35s but I was flying one, mine has all the maneuverability parts
>>583004056well duh, Rex ends up with Kate instead
my team mates suckwhat was the point of grinding 4x F22 raptors when they can barely kill shit with them
If we don't get a Sotoa-Yuke war game then I'm going to scream.
>>583006154I already tried to find the Belkan war on multiple pirate sites... nihil
What was in my head the entire game.
She looks so much better now.
>>583006508Check the AC8 thread on csrin. The standalone repack is there.

>>583006725Milfs are for humiliating and degrading for sport. Now Tasha I would treat like a queen.
>>583006706i did play it and got maybe 3 missions in. its not the worst game its just damn, you go from being able to do pitch and yaw and roll separate to (actual) arcade controls its a bummer. oh well, like debra wilson said, you cant have your cake unless you finish your nuggets
>>583006543I will say about her hair, the rougher ends and strands curling away helps break up the hair outline
>YOU GODDAMN BRATSkek
>>583006823Not him im usually too busy protecting the shuttle to go b-2 hunting
>>583006374I liked the mission where the sotoan fighters retreated but the mercs from Mihaly's home country stuck around kept fighting literally until their contract ended.
Honestly at first when I saw there were random schizos holding out on Fort Grays I immediately thought it was IUN/Mage Squadron.
>>583007095other country that also starts with an 's'
Is there an Ace in every mission? Are the requirements for them to appear just as autistic as the ones in 7?
Will 6th gen planes be featuring an mp3 player?
>>583007185https://www.whisperofthehouse.com/ace-combat-8/assault-recordsspoilers obviously but yes there's an ace in every mission except 14, this is the list of how to spawn them
>>583007159Who voices idk his name? His voice sounds peculiar but i can't put a finger on it
>>583007260Alright, thank you anon.
>tfw the Podarges airdrop entire Landships straight into battle at Rocky Island
>>583007428If you don't destroy the podarges that are sitting on the ocean near the base do they take off as well? I just immediately targeted them so I don't know
>>583007428it makes the emotional gut punch they were going for very out of left field when im constantly going back and rearming then coming back
How was Ace Combat Infinity in regards to balance changes?
>haven't used my dualshock4 for over a year>hook it up>sticks are drifting>the port is looseWhat the fuck man, everything was fine literally a year ago
>>583007565nah they dont get up, they just sit there and rake you with aa fire
The moment I see IRL clouds a bit more voluminous than usual I immediately think about motherfucking Cloudly clouds.
>Fatsia has a spoke for each of the chieftaincies>Each module is named after one aspect of the Sotoan flag
>>583007620My Xbox controller's left stick started drifting right as the game came out, fucking this was fine a month ago when I replayed 4, 5, 0, 6, and 7
Do you think the Mobius 1 Phantom and Zvezda Hornet skins will be added into the game later down the line? I missed the early access window so there's not much reason for me to get the deluxe editon aside from that.
>>583007592They didn't change much. The UGB/LAGM splash parts were incredibly overpowered at first so they nerfed them (I still have comparison pictures of LAGM for some reason so I may as well post them). Attackers were shit compared to multiroles at first so they massively buffed their damage against ground. After a while they figured out that low tier planes having less slots was bullshit so they allowed any plane to grind extra slots up to the cap.I can't remember any other balance changes but it's been a long time. Does adding hard mode count as a balance change? It's not really, but it was also necessary for having a fun game once people got high level planes since normal missions became way too easy.
>all these posts about cope being newtype shitcmon fools itās obvious that Rex is saying talk to me cope just like maverick does
>>583008359cmon rex do some of that pilot shit fly into that tunnel hit 50 gs and walk it off like a fucking pimp

>Online lobby is full of lots of new players and randoms>Lobbies are 90% with the same select few hyper autists I played against constantly in 7What gives? Is there some stealth SBMM happening behind the scenes? Are the nuggies not actually queueing for games?
>>583008359they should remove the YES/NO answers and repace them with TALK TO ME COPE, kind of like the heart in dishonored
>>583008628Are you queing for PvPvE, PvP or PvE? From my experience it seems like most of the new players are just doing PvE.
>>583008628*matches. Not lobbies.
>>583008706>69, there's that number again.....
>>583006587oh come on, Nagase is older by this point>>583006887note that you can enable expert controls in 1 and 2
>>583008831i didnt know that was a feature
>achievement for exclusively using green airplanes + machine gun on Ace difficulty
>>583007592>>583008184Now that I think more they also introduced cost restrictions. Those weren't in the game at the start. There was a primitive version where some events would only allow low tier planes, except that was really badly done since it only counted the base model of plane. So for example if the F-14A was considered a low tier plane then Wardog F-14 would be allowed in, even though it had massively buffed stats so it wasn't low tier by any means. So eventually they added actual cost limits and it was much better.Now that I think more they also buffed HCAA at some point so it went from absolute shit to just pretty shit. HCAA was pretty sad in that game.I'm probably forgetting a lot more. I wonder how much.
>>583009029>ladon bombers attackers and mgp only on acei'd sooner get a lobotomy
>>583009217Unironically not that hard with an SU-25SM and MGPs.
>>583008184>>583009183Cost limits need introduced ASAP.
After that ending I have to ask is Electrosphere still a pain to get the JP translation working with the emulation? I guess I can't put it off any longer now.
>>583009714i managed to get it emulated a while back, it LOOKS more complicated than it actually is
>>583009714Nah, there's prepatched isos you can just plug and play now

Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and tell me, would you be a good guy or a villain in Strangereal?
>>583010050I shan't be changing my negative review until they enable Proton support with EAC. Sorry.
So what's a good relatively early plane for MP that isn't the Morgan? Been using the F14A thus far. Might just hold out for F16 and this rate.
>>583010190I would probably be fodder
>>583010190I look like an NPC
>>583010050Doing pretty good sales wise as well, apparently. (games only filter)
>>583010265Mirage is good because it can dogfight and use the UGB. Mig-21 is a good shout too if you want to PSM early.Otherwise yeah I'd just wait for the F-16.
>>583008737I mostly queue for warfare because it pays better. Yeah, I guess you're right. Casuals (rightly) should stick to PvE.
>>583010190villain by the standards of strangereal considering the look tasha gives you when you down that entire flights of nuggets in wyverns like the shoe hadn't been on the other foot for a long ass time. after fatsia i was about ready to carpet bomb satoa back to the stone age>no we wont surrender also we're going to drop tungsten rods on the entirety of your continent right nowlike holy shit dude, we're doing the belka example on these people or are we not. balkanized along tribal lines there we go enjoy the next 20 years of infighting you savages

Jesus this online isn't lasting if the likes of the Morgan are allowed to just fucking walk over everybody like this.
>>583012084we gave satoa land battleships, podarges, fatsia megafloat, xb-70s, a satellite that can launch tungsten rods, and the materials for 3d printers. we gave the fcu a single guy who has a phone that sometimes gives important information but mostly just makes propaganda of a single pilot
>>583012427If it does well in the US and China then it's going to be just fine.
>>583005468Nah that mission was kino and I had to manage it in a Griphen.
Now that the dust has settled, is Nagase still the most objectively autistic character in the series?
Ace Combat MUST break into the 90s on Metacritic at least once in my lifetime.
>>583012819her sister's in ridge racer
>>583012819I'd say is the princess, but yeah close second.
>>583012819You, the player
>>583012819It's actually Dealer
>the Ladon can cobra you nah this boss is the coolest thing in Strangereal
>>583012819It might actually be 22.
God this was an absolute nugget stomp
>>583013932i like how neither him nor tewy noticed the two very obvious fcu pilots sitting next to them. baxter didnt even fucking try and be subtle about whispering to rex and they were deaf until basically the end where 22 goes "shes epic ok now fuck off"
>>583014248The way they stare at you during that encounter made me think that they did, they're just the kind of antagonists who would rather fight you in the skies instead of getting executed on the ground
I really like Dealer, he's a great AWACS, he reminds me of Crux but more competent from the get go
>>583013179>Went about wherever she is to speak in a holier than thou wayLooks like her divine right complex is weighed down by gravity

>>583014840That's the fault of her other condition, other autists in the series don't have her excuse
>Morgan players starting to learn they can post-stall move which gives them better rotationYep, it's definitely over for the PvPvE side
>>583014929>shoot down this civilian airliner or you can't fly anymore>okI don't think being allergic to sunlight is an excuse
>>583014248They notice. Tewy says so during one of the encounters with her in the sky, can't remember exactly when, but she mentions the village encounter.Seems like she doesn't realy give that much of a shit about winning the war, she just wanna fly good. Just like me fr fr
>>583015192Growing up as a bubble child tends to stunt your social abilities
>>583012084I figured the implication is that they would be drawn into war with eachother
I wonder what Yellow 13 would think of S22/Toprak

>>583015775How dare
Mission 14, 15 and 16 is pure back to back gimmicky filler. Really took the wind out of the sails after a strong first half of the game. Things do get better after that luckily.I know every Ace Combat game has one point where you think "Oh god, not this part again", but to have that slip-up be three missions long is quite the fumble.
>hey i checked your strangegram out and you look really hot, must we really fight?>war ends>credits rollIt's that easy.

>>58301605214 and 16 sure not 15 15 is sick
>>583016052I liked the Laden fight though. Very unique fight that's a nice mix between your usual enemy Ace and big dumb flying fortress.
>>583015949the pvp in this game is genuinely hot liquid ass
The future of PVP is Flankers closing to LAAM firing distance and after the first salvo both sides engage in backwards PSM gun fights to nullify missiles
>>58301605215 is amazing14 is the generic radar avoidance mission which always sucks16 is fine, I like that you have to visually ID the terrorists and can sniff out their position by radio chatter when you get close instead of instantly getting a TRGT assigned.
>>583015541considering how 13 reacted to the Erusian AA crews stationing themselves ontop of a hospital, he'd be disgusted by what 22 did to Queen flight for sure
>>583016613But anon... no flanker has LAAMs.
>>583016539>>583015949There's never been enough skill expression in this series to ever make PvP anything but shallow garbage.Flying low should make it harder to be tracked by lock-on and force people to use guns.Post-stall maneuvres should do for the player what they do for bosses, they should disjoint missiles for the duration.

>>583012084Remember the first time in 7 when you encounter the Arsenal Bird? Osea's first reaction isn't "oh fuck, run away," It's "Destroy the Arsenal Bird!" Osea/Yuktobania aren't afraid of taking on limited numbers of superweapons with their overwhelming numerical advantage.
>>583021298it's really funny how outright evil the Sotoans are. like the Belkans are nothing to them, they even give Leasath a run for it's money
I can't like Dealer, he's too British.
>>583022352He's not even British, just doing an accent.
>>583022152You'd have killed it too if it didn't cheat. You destroy the propellers and it's like uhhhhhh they fixed themselves and you have to run away now because you just do. I had that fucker.
Fuck, is it possible to do something about texture warping in AC3? I've enabled most of relevant options but they still warp like crazy at the edges of the screen.
>>583022352I didn't like him at first either but he really grew on me...
>>583022864He came up with that stupid plan after all, so he's alright
>Is your aircraft more agile in high-g turns?>You winVery "compelling" multiplayer. I was kinda hoping an arcade flight series would do better in regards to PvP.
>>583023125Ace Combat PvP was always shit. Ever since 6 it was shit.
>>583022352He's not British ENOUGH. Accent's just too fake.
Playing an SP focused AC title for online is like playing a Souls game for PVP.
>>583004034I'm sorry, but when the Sotoan pilots who believe that dying in battle is the highest honortell the hatchlings to GTFO and scream "WTF are you doing!!!", and even abandoned their ground forces to make sure they live. They were literally asking to die

does the steam controller gyro aiming thingy work on these games? I cant hit shit with my guns in ac7 using an xbawks controller
>>583023613This multiplayer is completely identical to Infinity.
>>583012084Osea almost definitely has a brand-new bird-themed superweapon at this point; itād just get stolen immediately if they tried to use it
Anyone tried dlss5 with the Zero port?
>>583023487There's no Britain in strangereal so maybe that's just how people from Fato sound like.
>>583024436Anon, your Erusia?
>>583024612>Erusia?Russians aren't people. And no this isn't a Ukraine war thing, Russians are the closest that whites get to Indians. Russian history is just filled with failed attempts at protecting Izzat.
>>583011550>He didn't Kill Shadow 24 in mission 18lol
>half the squad flies on top of each other and goes down to Arsenal Bird's opening salvowhat in the wtf
I like my flying shit brick
>>583025386>IzzatI hate that meme word so much and I'm not even Indian. It's literally just crashing out. It's not exclusive to indians
so do the Lux Lunae skins transfer over to multiplayer as well? I have no idea how to unlock them in MP just the emblems
Fellow squad members>deploys flaresThe promised land awaits us>Deploys flaresFor we are a people of honor>Shoots at parachuting pilotThese curs have no idea of our way of life>Is a royalOr how important our principals are>Deploys flaresFuck this guy.
>>583025625Crashing out is just being violently angry in every direction with little to no logic or reason. That's what unhinged psychos do.Izzat is a term specifically about trying to save face at all costs to the point of violence. Kill the person who dishonored you = Face saved.
>>583025917at least he doesn't have plot armor, I'll take flares over that any day
>>583025938Yes. That's "crashing out". People don't crash out for no reason. They crash out because they feel wronged and humiliated and feel like they need to make a point that if you mess with them you suffer.
>>583025917Good thing he's flying a Felon, that thing is fucking huge and he likes doing flips that expose its entire giant body to your machineguns.Imagine if he was in something smaller like a Fulcrum or a Viper.

>dad, why is my brother called purple magic gigachad?>because your mother and i love purple magic>thanks dad>no problem, hortus regis alti
>>583021874?
>>583026825Crashing out is getting mad about the concept of hands-free soap dispensers and yelling about it. I have never once heard of someone "crashing out" and murdering another, that's called mentally snapping.
>>583026825There's a difference. People in a ghetto go nuclear over the slightest insult because they have zero regards for long term consequences and no self control.Izzat fights are a more planned thing, if someone cheats you out of money they've also taken your izzat and you have to cheat or hurt them to take it back. Crashing out is a spontaneous reaction, fights over izzat usually aren't.
>>583021874Not very intuitive I knowGo to the hangar, select an aircraft, press left stick.
>>583023946>>Aerial moves like cobra/kulbit disjoint missiles for the duration of the move and forces gunsThey actually do in 8 tho
>>583026649i think the implication is that she took the stories cope told her when they were kids and used them to larp as though she was always in tune with the common folk
>>583027139That's some white people appropriated definition senpai. Wtf is a soap dispenser>>583027157That's fair. But still sounds like just a more culturally ingrained crash out
I like that the unlockables make you try different types of planes, I wouldn't use them otherwise
>>583027139>yelling about it.How does yelling count as a "crash". Unless police or authorities are involved It's not a valid crashout

>>583030569Glad it wasn't just me.
>>583030620Fuck off, retard.
>>583030536If it wasn't for PSMing, the game would literally be you just non-stop high-G turning away from missiles and never being able to reverse. Ace Combat's problem is it has almost zero skill expression outside of PSM.
>>583029629it's both extremely stupid and counterbalanced by the fact that it's extremely funny and i'm waiting for the day someone hit's that yukikaze maneuverchaining together more than 2 psms is effectively pointless anyways
>>583030675ace combat is about being an ace pilot, which means learning how to utilize a plane to its full potentialif this offends you, then might i suggest a more calming experience, like insomniacs wolverine
Does anyone else feel like the AWACS plays a lesser role this time around? I guess it's because the Wing Commander is a thing this time and the higher ups constantly talk to you through the radio while in previous entries AWACS was usually the top dog while in the air.
>>583030837And somehow that's still less gay than two autistic faggots doing backflips around each other for 15 minutes until one of them gets lucky enough to line up a shot. >>583031168Retard.
>>583030837ace combat just needs harsher energy management in multiplayer, you gain and lose it so fast that it's basically a non factor outside of stalling
>>583031418https://x.com/GIHI_DAI1/status/2105482101894295667PSMs let you completely ignore energy management.

>>583032739We're still 5 hours away, tell them to do it later whime they play the SP.

>>583034202And I assure you that the Eagle is a lot damn worse than the Su-37? You're moving the goalpoasts here (and also, implicitly admitting that landing a hit on a Yellow with an inferior plane is indeed an expression of skill).
>>583033997F-4 is such a brick in this game that after doing my first playthrough with it and going back to the F-18C, the legacy bug feels like a superplane. It's actually amazing.
>>583034361maybe they can take a page from another company's playbookand make it [spooler-] Ace Combat VIII [spaghet]

>>583034938yes
>>583034827>"I bet you couldn't hit Yellow with an Eagle!" (a pretty nimble plane)>This is somehow not moving the goalposts from two Su-37s mirror PSMing and calling it skill expression when it's a basic mechanic

>>583034845They really need to make a zero or 2 out of this game, they already spent too long on it and the game could hardly look better, hell a bunch of people seemingly can't even run it, no harm in taking the easy way with this one.

I addressed your first point about Ace Combat not having any skill expression outside of PSM...>>from two Su-37s mirror PSMing... By posting a .webm of me defeating a(n admittedly mid) PSM player, without using PSM myself. Look again. >>583031959>>and calling it skill expression when it's a basic mechanicSo, if I'm reading this correctly, PSM is not the only possible way to express skill in Ace Combat anymore? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me like your post lacks coherence.

>>583036306That so? I take your word for it, at least when it comes to AC8. That's a shame.
I must have some gorilla nigger grip becuase I didn't even notice the adaptive triggers.
>>583036453It hides a pilot suit's sleeve under the couch
>>583036030>Which is something you still haven't done.Did it in the Phantom. Again, you're bragging about the most basic shit imaginable. What next, you flew down the barrel of Chandelier and nobody else has?
>>583036453You're hiding your stiffy
>>583005468Thatās been my favorite mission so far. Constant full afterburner to chase those bombers was awesome.
>>583036552since AC8 is more of an arcade style kinda game it doesnt do anything really >>583036357i totally understand that, in a simulator game i expect it to be cool but in AC8 you never need to "slightly" break to a specific speed to take a turn, you either full break or full throttle
>>583036030anon it's not impressive gameplay, and the fact you have a name attached to these mid af posts laying claim to them is embarrassing.
>>582998746Nothing is as bad as the foolishness in 5>Be nation that is not invaded and has largest population and resources>reinforce squadron on Frontline base twice and leave it with 4 or 3 pilots for majority of war>leave one of few remaining carriers sitting idle with one fighter and pilot left till its needed by plot.
>>583036380its just bantz. dont read too much into it
>>583036232rex and baxter just sitting on a bench off to the side and autistically staring as the others have their conversation was really funny to me
>>583036232>>Tells you to "act normal" while unloading the generator literally right in front of 11 and 22i laughed out loud at that, lmao. also how did moon 11 see baxter when he was hiding behind the door? kek
The FA-36 shouldāve had HCAA as its SPW to mirror the XFAās SRM spam in 3.
>>583036738The spring in my left trigger on my Xbox controller makes a noise now when its pressed thanks to this game. I personally blame this shit right here. Tapping the brakes over and over.
>>583036308spine becomes accordion
wake the fuck up rex raptoruswe got a megafloat to burn
>>583036958And here you are, not only ignoring the fact that 90% of players can't even imagine doing it without a top-tier plane or cheats, but also bragging as well that you did it in an even worse plane than I did (which, again, defeats your actual point: PSM being the one and only way of expressing skill in AC).https://youtu.be/YtlioiNceYwhttps://youtube.com/shorts/5ZjcoD2PiUE
literal looney tunes shit
imagine being a bomblet
>>583039027We're we not supposed to shoot that thing? I had a missle off before the dialogue stopped and it just cut to the cutscene.
>>583039027Wish this game didn't handle replays like a 2012 fighting game.I'd love to see this close call from different angles.
>>583039458I swear I flew straight through a bomber the split second after I blew it up...
>>583038132>he didn't fullclear the map before the mission updateNGMI
>>583039251>final mission>get gaslit into thinking it's surface to groundthey should reward you more MRP if your loadout is the opposite of what you need.
>>583039452You are, it's scripted.
After seeing the caliber of pilots in this general, like >>583039458 I gotta give credit to Flanker's argument.
>>583039746>surface to ground
>>583039027I busted out laughing when I saw this for the first time. I know it's supposed to be a serious moment but I could NOT take that shit seriously.
>>583039932kek
>>583038993>And here you are, not only ignoring the fact that 90% of players can't even imagine doing it90% of people not being able to play outside of standard controls isn't a good marker to base things on. The average person is a simpleton.
>>583039595Yeah and I think the mid air plane to plane collision is based on the ground collision setting as well. Speaking of collisionsbe honest how many times did that beacon for the homeless encampment fuck you over?
>>583009714It's SUPER easy now. Just download and play.
ok now that the dust has settled, which had the better soundtrack?7 or 8?
>>5830401188 and it's not even close.Daredevil is great, but AC8 has multiple bangers.
https://mega.nz/folder/gDJQUa6T#-pdaoWCyzEfLdFN5xFQt0Q
>>583040198daredevil is not the only track in 7
>>5830401188 on average, 7 for highest peak. Nothing in 8 beats Daredevil but 7 has a ton of overall great tracks.
>>583040118I still like 7s better, No complaints about 8s though
>>583039629I was honestly rushing the story to avoid spoilers. Gonna go through a proper play though soon.it is annoying seeing the scripted events though, now I know to save my ammo. One day PA will actually let us change the storyline with our gameplay
>>583039829I don't even know what the difference between "skill expression" and just normal skill-based performance difference is supposed to be.Like, obviously better players perform better, even if hitting a yellow, even in Lifeline, isn't really a great example of that. Better players can clear maps faster because pick targets more efficiently and destroy them quicker. Is that skill expression or just normal skill? Does it need to have immediate and obvious effects from some kind of mechanical tech to count as skill expression?PvP multiplayer is pretty damn shallow though. If both players are good it does just devolve into PSM spamming, if one of them isn't then you can get an easy kill when they're slowing down to PSM.
>>5830401187 has a better soundtrack in terms of number of songs that are actually good, 8 has some really good tracks than stand out but also a bunch of it is trash and mission 28 is ruined by their shitty music choices until Shadow 22 comes to inject some life into it.
>>583040280Just the only notable one.
>>583039458peak skill expression
>>583040540
>>583040540Kys nigger
>>583040540retard
>>583040368i wish i could record shit on my PC without it explodingmy fight against Shadow 22 was a fucking Kojima Metal Gear 2 Fortune fight I was behind his ass at 300m distance and all 6 anti air missiles just missed him even though he was flying straight because LMFAO eat my ass player you could literally see them steer of course and away from him
>>583039932>>583039984My bad I really didn't pay attention to that black lady or the terms. I just watched my Yuktobanian Queen cuck me with some old grunge emo dude.
>>583040540Cope.
>>583039595>>583040089Here we go. On Elite.
>>583040647>>583040693>>583040718If it weren't true people would remember the other ones and bring them up. None of you even mentioned any other songs. Now that I've said that you're gonna say "archange" but you can't even remember how that song goes offhand without looking it up.
>>583040015>Hm. There appears to be a large gap in skill between new players and veterans in this game that does not feature PSM.>Surely, this must mean that you can express skill in Ace Combat without using PSM?
I see we started the 7 revisionism early
>>583041052actually im going to say magic spear I
magic spear 1, pipeline destruction, charge assault are all good tracks
>>583041052magic spear, faceless soldier. fuck off. why am I even replying.
>>583041052If I named my favorite tracks in AC7 you'd claim I was a larper anyway>>583041227Based
>>583041052I prefer Battle for Farbanti to both of those, nigger. Eat my ass.
>>583041052Dual Wielder, the music from fucking mission 03 is better than whatever bullshit was playing on the radio of M28.
At least Bamco got back to me within the day of me contacting them, it appears the joker flight pack was split into 2 orders for USA release.
ah shit thers no pulse laser su57 to carry my ass anymore
fucking sol squadron. my foot is always tapping

>>583041052Archange
>>583041052I think 8's OST far superior to 7, but claiming 7 doesn't have good tracks outside of Daredevil is retarded.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFhAf2y1wAEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c71pjnfC8xEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8evibtN6I68https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-clWlJP5KMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZexLGHHWYchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOUQcjOyFvwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV1F7gK3H9Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mygq0AjrWLQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNzkGblU87U
>>583040118AC8 managed to capture that perfect chaotic-depressing "dogfighting over night snowy city" vibe with My Blue Sky Home that ive been chasing ever since my DCS days, daredevil or any other track is not even close in comparison, offline/Last Hope1-2 are pretty good tho
>>583036012Why is this game so buggy
>assault horizon shitted on for over a decade>PA knew it's over the wing close ups were kino>so they only added one when it mattered the most
>>583041805>Infinite gun ammowe know what you did.
>>583041805in AC9 we're dogfighting in a hurricane again
>>583041587
Someone has to say and let it be me.Fuck Rosa Cossette D'Elise.I can't fucking stand Rosa Cossette D'Elise.That'd be all.
>>583041727>7 minutes of shitty rock>2 minutes of actually good musicWe can throw it in the bin with the rest of them.
Well, that was a very unremarkable final mission.
>>583041742unreal engine AI generated code with focus on consoles and little to no PC optimization (DLSS will fix it somehow)
>>583042053>Fuck Rosa Cossette D'Elise.Don't mind if I DO!
>>583038132Ace combat is hard on controllers, AC6 did my 360 controller in and the OG trilogy and Air force delta strike finished off my first 2 ps2 controllers.
>>583041031Nice they make them tangible upon destruction. Having a run end cause some debris hit you is cheeks.Real men runs end like this
>Tekken at Davenport stadium
>>583042057yeah the "rock" songs felt so cheesy in 8it's why I HATED the #4 guy (can't even be bothered to remember his name) who's obsessed with the rock bandI mean besides him being Tasha's love interestit felt like a great departure from what made Ace Combat music Iconicwhich is modern classical/opera music
>Sotoans have the Shadows be proficient at singing their signature theme before they can earn their wings>FCU has Purple Magic and CosterNo wonder the FCU needed a miracle to survive, half the troops are already seceding to the invaders as soon as they turn on the radio.
>Disc 2 - Face C on the vinyl has Coster's emblem>It's nothing but bangers (Everflow, Song of Wings, Hortus Regis Alti)Heh, I love it when things get meta like this.
>>583042317I gotta say the explosions look like ass for how good the rest of the graphics are.
Shadow 22 spanked my ass, but Moon 11 was really easy. I don't know if it was because she intentionally puts herself into cardiac arrest.
>>583042425retarded tourist faggot

Anyone know where you can find a list of error codes for AC8?I'm repeatedly getting WP-1120003008when trying to connect online.
>>583041052My all time favorite you baiting faggothttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfYx3zUoCuA
>>583016091You think she still feels anything down there?
I heard 8 has Denuvo? If that's true I'd rather pirate.
>>583042550Proving his point, I love AC 2's music but it isn't iconic, hasn't been relevant for almost 30 years, and sounds nothing like the shitty rock in 8.
>>583042518I am playing on Xbox with it set to prioritize framerate.And honestly if you flew through smoke and debris of something in this game the shit lags. So they probably loweres the quality it to save FPS. So maybe they can update the textures or some shit later on.DLSS 5 Or whatever.
>>583042681In that moment He doesn't even know whether to be aghast at your audacity, or to furiously sign up to bear your children
The Shadow 22 fight is pure unfettered ass

Best part of the game was the first few seconds of it booting.Finally bandai figured out dark mode for their startup logo. >>583042785What platform? I assume PC?
>>583042865you've just been spoiled
>>583042693He crashed in November City, not Oured. So some OTHER stadium was named after him.

>>583042865I'm pretty sure I never landed a single missile and had to use guns.
>>583043072>enjoy your early leaver penalties fellow convic?I havn't left a single game, it just started this morning.>>583043108>I assume PC? Yes.
>I'd rather pirate something that can't be piratedTaking something that isn't rightfully yours isn't nice.Looks like we got a sotoan in this thread.You want something for free? Go move into the base of that elevator with the rest of the poorfag communist.
>>583042865>Let's pull an assault horizon and make the enemy spam PSMs until you cheese his assReally, did they learn nothing>>583042995You just need leading edgesCanards count as leading edges so in theory the real Valkyrie can pull one offAlthough the ground crew would chew the ass out of the pilot for horrifying structural damage to the airframe
>>583043331have one of your wingmen in a EW craft and use LAAMsthey can't cheat their way out of that
>>583041031Oh shit I ran into one of those laser guidance things when you first cross rainband and was surprised to survive
>>583043459is that triggers child?what happened to the scrap queen?is she the 2nd wife of Trigger?
>>583043369Windows ver? Don't be on 10 like an idiot.Make sure easy anti cheat is running (if you ran some anti epic online services shit at one point you might be fucked).And make sure your network connection is good/stable.
>>583043369Must be nice though play at allI get booted on load + early leaver penalties
>>583040769i killed him instantly because his formation broke off in the merge and he flew into my bulletsi only realized after half of the shadows were dead that i got him first thing, i just thought "huh weird cutscene for shooting this one down" and moved on
>>583042865Idk, I really liked it. Using missiles to make them start their flippy shit and then ripping them with a good burst of 30mm autocannon rounds just felt good. They don't have more health than a standard Felon either so a single good burst is enough to take them down. You get that tense feeling that the fight could end at any second, all you need is that 1 good shot. I guess it helps that Felons are XBOX HUEG planes so hitting them with guns isn't that hard.
>>583043502They stick to me like glue...
Is the point allocation for COOP based purely on damage dealt per target, or is there a big bonus for KSing?
>>583043459It literally can be pirated though, denuvo protection was bypassed through the hypervisor method hours after the early access dropped
is there a moment that comes close to the aura of this track?7 failed but how about 8?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjY6awCr2_c
>>583043796there's points for damage, and points for killing a targetkill stealing works but it's more efficient to just focus somewhere else unless it's on the way to new targets since the s rank bonus is more important than winning
>>583043203Damn, the concerts celebrating the whole franchise has music from a game in the franchise? Fuuuuck my whole argument about them not being iconic fell apart.Anyways let's ignore that almost nobody played those games and their music's popularity pales in comparison to that on newer entries.
Why does the XO refer to briefings as debriefings?
>>583035858Its fucking awful I hate it as a setting great and wonderful for those who want it but I've never found it anything but supremely annoying.

WHY WASN'T HIS NAME STEVE???????????????????
>>583044205this is actually the biggest bullshit gimmick in 8>lol invincible drones that block literally everything and also do AOE chip damage to you
So Satoa just gives up after you repel their invasion? You then blow up their man made island and shoot down a bunch of their planes. Not once do you really invade their land.
>>583043985So if they removed the KS bonus and allocated more points for accumulated damage per target, a quarter of the online's problems would be solved. They should just do that.
>>583044383>invade their landthat would be racist
>>583044383What do they have left at that point? You crippled their entire air force for generations, destroyed their manufacturing plant, and they have no more fancy tech
>>583044205I hated these things at first but they're kind of a nothingburger.>Rockets up the fat ass of the spearplane pretty much ignore them or wipe them out, tearing off a wing or two in the process>Moon 11's are just so she can exposition on you without getting folded immediately
Can you guys log in to the online mode?
>>583044114>it's another shitty translation episodereally ACES? did you not learn your lesson after the clusterfuck that was AC7's translation job?can we get some fan-translators to fix the game this time?
>>583041090The "skill gap" is basic flight controls. That is not skill expression, it's the fundamentally retarded standing next to you.
>>583042865Just like Enso Order wantedDon't know what's more annoying this or his wife having literal force fields from UAVs.
>>583044587not until they separate it from the main game like rockstar games do
Fuck man, Hortus Regis Alti is so good
>>583044383Well, what the fuck are they gonna do without their pissy superweapons? They've got no airforce left and a huge portion of their army got pounded into the dirt by Joker flight. Gotta know when to fold 'em.
>>583044345>Invincible dronesThey aren't invincible>Hitting the drones with your gunKills them>Hitting the field enough times with your gunTriggers a formation change
>>583044157not even close
>>583042507coster's should've been the side with my blue sky home/times are changing/frostwave tbdesu with you
>>583044383Sotoa is tiny as fuckAnd you blew up all their air aces and land super weapons and space super weapons lol
>>583044464i don't think there's a kill steal bonus, you're just denying them the kill bonus
>>583044383>their landThe entire reason they use landships is that their land is ass and they don't want to be there anymore. Their land is wherever they park their fortresses.
>these were your ultimate ace dog fightersPlease let all of Sotoa be a fucking general resource warehouse in the next game. These dudes make Estovakians look like Oseans.
>>583027157Just to play double's advocate the ghetto is also a shithole with minimal police presence. If somebody insults you and you don't retaliate you look like a weak bitch and others will hurt and take advantage of you from that point on. This creates a shitty situation where everybody has to be an asshole or face a consequence which is worse. Even people who would be pleasant otherwise have to become belligerent or else. Sure there's more "no long term thinking" people there than in the average population, but plenty are just trying to survive the situation they were born into. I've lived in places like that for a time and it's a sad way to live. It's depressing to think that people are born and die in those places, ghettos in the sense of culturally distinct, low police presence zones are things that society shouldn't allow to exist.
did they remove the machine gun tracking plane part?cuz out of all the fantastical weapons in ace combat a machine gun that autotracks enemies always made sense to meI know the one that autoshoots is in
>>583044954Frostwave's on his wife's side, at least. My Blue Sky Home and Times Are Changing are on Rex's wife's side.
>>583044383>invading Strangereal Kazakhstanwhat's the point?
i switched from my C: SSD to my D: SSD and game loads so much fucking faster now i think my main SSD is dying ...
It seems like online is down because bamco is having streamers give an early view to online play
>>582997723I made this Online Progression Guide for the buddies who will be going into multiplayer soon featuring some bonus advice from Nugget. Only took7 years in MS PaintCatbox Link so it can stay in the OP if the thread approves:>https://files.catbox.moe/g0cq7z.pngIt only covers actual progression (squiring and upgrading aircraft), not all the other stuff involved with character/profile cosmetics.
>>583044841I think he means >>583045181Where you have to destroy secondary targets to make the main TGT venerable.This ain't the arsenal bird.Its a silly gimmick. Having the spears come down plus playing wackamole with UAV drones just to get a chance to hit your main objective is cheeks.It's doable but clearly was added so they can have more time for her speech and give some in universe reason why she can yap so much.Also >>583040368As seen here, if the game wants a unit to survive in order to complete a story plot.They will make them invincible/faster than you.
>>583045486Online is down because the game is buggy piece of>Works on my machineShite
>>583045549Thanks, this is pretty good.
>>583045705>As seen here, if the game wants a unit to survive in order to complete a story plot.They will make them invincible/faster than youI'm reminded of why I remember saying "fuck this" and dropping assault horizon in the last missionWho is the dumb fuck who came up with this crap
>>583045549Thanks anon. Gonna definitely play the most in the first season.Hearing the horror stories about the current meta already isn't helping.Fuck I even got the game on Xbox so I can disable crossplay once the hackers get to the pc version.
>>583042616Ac6 is still probably the best overall ace combat besides 7 imo(shame its so short, lacks a proper furball, and smallest roster), aint played all of 8 yet so jury's out on that one.I baby my controllers and I have went throught 2 Sega controllers(1 third party), 3 ps2 controllers(1 third party that was shit from the start) 2 n64 controllers, 1 360 controller and 1 pair of joycons(drift). Still got my OG ps4 controller and Ps5 controller, the ps4 one is anceint now too.
>>583044631And you've never struggled to control your plane when you started playing?You just immediately started downing enemies left and right and getting A/S Ranks every mission? You instantly knew how to use your gun?
do the left and right choices in mission matter?does the cut scene qte's?
So what's the verdict on AC8?
>>583046128I can't imagine struggling with flight controls for more than an hour. If someone is still baffled by them after doing the entire story and then jumping into MP, then they're probably retarded.
>>583046000I agree the operations in 6 are amazing. Surprised that they didn't bring it back for 8. It's the first current gen Ace combat and they had 30 missions.Maybe in the DLC or 9. Funny enough keep playing 8 and you'll see alot of callbacks/similarities to 6.
>>583046165They just give you some alternate dialog I think
>>583046207Better than 4 and 5, up to personal preference if you enjoy it more than zero all of them are personal preference but you get what I mean
>>583045486You would think they would tell people this in advance, any idea for how long?it also seems weird since most reviews have gone live already.
>>583046207I like it quite a lot
>>583046207Campaign is great. Online is going to die. I really hope Online failing doesn't make Bamco shove the series back into the freezer.
>>583046207loudest ace combat game, even Weapons of Mass Destruction was quieter than like half of the missions in this game
How long would ac9 take
>>583046453I wish there was a separate sound slider for sonic booms as you accelerate. So I can jack it way the fuck up.
>>583046207Strong start, bogs down for a couple missions in the middle, then gets really good again until the final few fights depending on your tolerance for gimmicks, and the "final boss" is mad underwhelmingCutscenes run like hot ass, gameplay runs much better, online is fucked and needs about a billion patches
so does the sky speak latin in 8 or is ace combat dead?
>>583046534Depends on how much the game sells from now to October and if they're retarded enough to start from scratch for the third time.
>>583045549Bonus Linux Online progression guide:>Select Online mode from the main menu>Create your pilot>Queue for a mission>Immediately get kicked because the retards didn't click a single checkbox in the EAC settings
>>583046207Great. They clearly held too much back and made it 7.5 probably to not scare off the new fans that came in from 7.They also clearly have DLC plans because the game is missing it's tail end hype moment.no tunnel run or squad v squad battle royal. The final dogfight takes place in a city you already went to7/10 too much water.
>>583045790literally canāt connect for me>>583046339only reason Iām saying that is because Marco is streaming multiplayer right now so may not be the strongest evidence
>CopeCyberpunk reference>BaxterNBA2k27 reference>TashaTwitch reference>Coster/mu/ reference>D.D. Elon reference>XODebra Wilson reference>PrincessAC7 reference>Online modeAC0 referenceNot a single bone of originality in this game
>>583046635The Shadows do ominous war chants on an open channel and it's wonderfulLuna 11's boss theme is in Latin
>>583046207>>583046614PA has taken an innovative approach to making UE 5 run like shit where I can run the game on ultra with stable 60 even in MPBM spam multiplayer missions while I crash every other cutscene.
>>583046240Probably took more effort to make for little profitable gain, Probably the reason the mission count was so low for that one, each mission took more time to make than 3 or even 4 in the other games.
>>583046720>literally canāt connect for meWhat errors are you getting?I'm getting a mix of; WP-112001006, WP-100001035, WP-1120003008 and assorted others
>>583046670i have no doubt that it will sell well...
>>583046740so funny anon
>>5830463365 aint a high bar, only thing that one had over the others was mission and jet count and being able to outfit a flight of 4 with the last being done by 8 now too.Not counting AH of course, thats the worst by far.
>>583045549Dumb question, how do I get a helmet? I booted up online solely to register my name and to join the 404th, haven't made time to get into multiplayer just yet.
>>583046681>Immediately get kicked because the retards didn't click a single checkbox in the EAC settingsGetting real tired of you Linuxfags not knowing how shit actually works.There's 2 kinds of EAC, the software version and the kernel level one. The software version has that "toggle"Linux DOES NOT support ANY kernel level anti cheats. That's why games like League, Call of Duty, Fortnite, Battlefield, etc. Don't work on Linux.Kernel level is damn near required nowadays with how many Chinese and South American/east Asians play pc games.Bitch and moan all you want, this is what you signed up for when you installed that OS. We aren't going to compromise the anti cheats so all 30 of you people can play for 2 days and never again.
Is deluxe worth it
>>583047346People are already cheating in ACO.People were cheating day one in BF6 and that has kernel+secure boot+TPM. It's a fucking meme.
>>583047396nothey nerfed the superplane that comes with it
>>583047396Nah, especially now that the early access period is almost over.You don't even get a season pass with it.It's literally the premium battlepass +20 tier skips or something.Not worth it.
The sound design is so fucking good oh my god.
>>583047051Yeah been getting the same stuff for the last 2 or 3 hours>>583047092It all depends on the Day 1+3 patch, the reviews were already iffy with the kind of people who would pay more money than average for a game, if the performance and odd crashes don't improve in the next 6 hours we might be outta luck.
>>583047346you can launch AC8 without eac even running. source? i'm cheating in the game right now
>>583047346>Kernel level isa memeYou're still gonna have cheaters in those games that require it.
for the "complete all missions with X role aircraft" medal do your wingmen also need to always be that role or can they fly whatever?
>>583047439>some people are by passing heightened security>may as well lower the security measures across the boardYou people are insufferable. You're the reason why societies fall to shit.You sound Sotoan.
>>583047585"Thanks for beta testing deluxe players"
>>583047396Not really. There's no season pass, only voucher for one season, and seasons themselves don't refund upon full completion. They cost 1000 coins, but there's only 500 in rewards. Shit's worse than f2p.
>>583047667I'm talking about the online you dumbasses.Just because YOU want the security measures gone Tyrone doesn't mean normal people are OK with it.
>>583047564It really is, I don't like headset use that much but fuck me, I would have missed a fuckton of good rumbles and whatnot
>>583047667Yeah but that's the SP.
When do you think the DLC to link 8 to 3 will drop
so far the only thing that has killed me is crashing to the ground due to losing my sense of direction due to cloud effects
>>583046236Except AC's gameplay loop not just about flight controls. It's built upon them, yes, but it asks you to do things with them:>Learn the best angles for evading missiles>Learn the best angles for firing missiles>Learn how to use special weapons>Plan an efficient route for taking out all the targets in time>Manage your ammo>Learn how to do lead pursuit to hit targets with your gunAll of these are examples of skill expression which do not require PSM. If the games were only about "basic flight controls", they would just ask you to fly through rings.
>>583048034>>583048065what part of the game is running without the anticheat is hard to understand?here idk how to show you the anticheat isn't on but i just loaded into online without it
>>583048249It's brutal on some missions.
started from not knowing a thing about this series to finishing the holy trinity this week but it looks like I've run out of time, would it be a sin to just skip to ac 8 or is 7 worth playing through first?I'm not gonna even bother with xenia for 6
>finish mission 2 on ace playthrough >game crashesthis is the third time this happened ...
>>583048302Get into a match for me.
>>583048249It'd be really nice if they had a button you could press to pop up a small ADI display.
>>583047585I was lucky enough to have 0 issues but did see a bunch of people complaining about crashes
>>583048331I had the same thing happen to me actually. Twice. Restarted and verified game files and it was fine.
>>583048318There is some pretty big references to 7 so it's worth doing 7 first. 6 also has a recomp which fixed all the Xenia issues despite it technically still being Xenia.
>>583048318First of I'd like to make it clear that I'm gonna rape you. Second there's already a recomp for AC6 so no excuses.
>>583048318>xenia for 6You don't need to do any of that anymore.https://github.com/sal063/AC6_recompAlso, 7 is still fun, so play it.
fuck me playing this with a 3600X was a bad ideait feels like Rex pounds a yard of vodka before each sortie
>>583048358nah i'm playing the campaign rn. believe me or don't idc just wanted to show you that eac literally doesn't do anything and it's just like every other bamco game where there will be 0 disciplinary action for cheating whatsoever
>>583048249Thats why you change to cockpit or 1st person view
>>583048296>Learn the best angles for evading missiles>Learn the best angles for firing missilesThis is basic geometry.
>>583048318I would say it's worse to go from 8 to 7FOMO is happening here
>>583048249if only there was a button you cold hold to level your plane and some sort of altitude indicator to know how close to the ground you are............
>>583048701I only play on 1st person view
>>583048636I don't because I've also disabled the anti cheat and it disconnects you from a match as soon as you try to join, that's why Linux niggas can get into the online mode lobby and make their character but can't actually play online.
>>583027289A player doing a PSM only disjoints missiles fired by NPCs, not players.
>>583048790No excuses then
>>583048785>levels out plane>cloud effects clear>there's a mountain in front of you
>>583044214>localizer fuckupWhy can't Bamco hire some decent translators for once? is not like they lack the money
>>583047346>super invasive anti-cheat that doesn't even work is based because it owns linuxfagsHonestly not even surprised at this opinion, this is 4chan after all
>>583046740I wish Cope was as unhinged as Johnny. If it was him he'd be screaming in your ear to start bombing Enso NOW from day 1. He'd also probably vibe with Purple Magic, but he'd want Costner to stop being as passive in his own music creation. Now that I think about it Sotoans have no permanent home, travel the land living and fighting out of their tricked out vehicles, hate corporations while taking equipment from them and doing things of questionable legality for the survival of their people. They're basically Cyberpunk Nomads.
>>583046828does it comes close to Archange?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_fBaf5hJAg
>>583048498Just tried it, unfortunately I'm still getting Error 01.
>>583048982look out for that mountain
it's very funny that we have "belka did nothing wrong" memes despite being the evil illuminati countrybut literally everyone is "shoot every sotoan on sight forever", they have the worst rep in the setting now
>>583048318If you're experienced with AC already you can knock AC7 out in half a day, I'd say it's worth doing before you play this.
>>583049293Mogs it.
>>583048718Maybe in the first few missions, at lower difficulties. Try getting those angles in Operation X on Ace difficulty. I think we can both agree it's not as easy as you make it sound.
>world where 11 suceess in jer plan to hit the downed land battleship>Radiation just kills all the evidence anyways
You are missing out by not playing Ace Combat 6
>>583049127They could've reintroduced the "Merc/Knight" scale from Zero and have him change his demeanor depending on where you currently are on that spectrum. Though I'm not sure it would fit for this particular type of story.
>>583049436well they are muslims
>>583049436>see your neighbor a continent over has grasslands>Blow up a dozen cities from orbit and send two gigantic land battleships tearing across the continent regardless of who's in the wayYeah not hard to see why
>>583049746>mfw a tonitrus spear hit EmmeriaTURN ON THE TV IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT CHANNELFUCK
inb4 enso order are just a bunch of Belkans at it again
>>583049421lel, goat reference. Also I had a perfect playthrough of M6, looked at the drone crashing into the plane, let go then crashed into a mountain two seconds later. I'm still mad.
>>583049436Say what you want about Belka but at least their pilots were cool
>>583048249Anon your instruments?
For no damage runs, what is the best method to deal with weaving through AA guns?
>>583047051yeah those are all the ones Iām getting
I got shot down by Ace Combat Fan :(
Is anyone going to do Shootout Saturday for AC8? I haven't touched the multiplayer yet, but I'd divert to fly with some <<buddies.>>
>>583050392Stay at maximum speed or don't get near them.
>>583049689Yeah, what was the point of that anyway? I know there has to be a boss battle. But if she just wanted to preserve evidence of Enso's wrongdoing, why would she also nuke Theve for no reason? Wouldn't it be way easier to go "hey Wings, I know we have our beef but we both hate Enso, give me a sec to redirect this orbital strike into the sea, it will even spare some damage to your city"?She was pretty nice to that one civilian girl, and was apparently pretty pissed at her Brass's decision to do the same thing but without radiation to Rio Bajo, so it's not even like it was particularly in character.
>>583046128>You just immediately started downing enemies left and right and getting A/S Ranks every missionPretty much, yeah. Though I did play a lot of space sims and WW2 flight games before I ever touched Ace Combat. Almost all of the skills were transferable, especially using the gun.
>>583048498i did this just now and i got through this time
>>583047051Getting these exact three errors for about 4 hours now. I'm in Europe for what it's worth. My NA friends can play the game just fine
What plane is best for hunting morgans in multiplayer
>>583050092tbf they clearly bought Grunder's assets with the X-40's design
>>583040769I played Ace Combat 2 recently and was really annoyed by this. It seems like when missiles miss, they steer off at the last second. There's no flares in that game it almost makes me think there's a dice roll involved but I don't think its that either.
>>583051689Wierd, I'm in Oceania maybe it's specific server clusters or something.>>583051745Anything with LAAMs, that can take guidance & range parts
The weeks/days/hour before AC8
What's the name of the OST in Mission 17? The one with the Trigger motif.
>>583041805Did you forget bailing Tasha's ass in Theve?
are these poor niggas really using the l85
Finally finished with the single player. 7.5/10. High highs, but some annoying bits bring it down a little. Lots of gimmick missions with poor replay value, waiting for dialogue to finish for missions to progress/end and despite the good vibes of mission 28 before the Shadow 22 fight, it didn't need to be THAT long.Time to try multiplayer.
>>583045549We could use another guide for cosmetic stuff, don't know if I'll be the one to make it though, probably not. >>583047280A limited selection of items can be bought from the Store or Acquired from the Ace Pass (though I don't recall any good helmets in either currently). Exchanging a SUPPLY TICKET gives a random item, which could be character clothing, profile decoration, aircraft skins, emblems, etc. Helmets seem like a pretty common drop, and supply-tickets come from a wide range of sources so it shouldn't take long to get one.
>>583052125I'm also getting them always in this specific orderWP-112003008 WP-112001006 WP-100001035
>>583050392Get the last part at the end of the aircraft tree
F-16 bros must be loving this game
>make a PVP mode where you slowly and incrementally get better planes and equipment>also put in a cheat plane that skips all of that and allows easy dunking on everyone else
>>583053029The Viper walked so the Legacy Hornet could faceplant into the ground.
>>583052376Wasn't there another one getting 22 off Prof's ass?
>>583053395there should be far fewer morgans to deal with in the next couple of days at least
What are the odds an AC9 be a sequel to AC3? Or do you think they'd try and squeeze in another war before the one in Ace Combat Advance, which was...I think 2034 compared to this one being 2029? Given that this game ends with General Resources taking what the Enso Order had, setting them up for their rise to power in Advance and AC3, I'm not sure what else is left beyond exploring what route Simon and Nemo took.
