>Gooners ruin yet ANOTHER video game seriesfuck off faggots
>>748916396>Claimedsorry guys, you were too slow
This game is mad slow. I've just liberated the Island with all the Bunker Dwellers and nothing particularly exciting has happened yet. By this point in 7 you'd already gone through the absolute KINO that was the Spare Squadron. The closest 8 has come to that so far is Noise and his autistic music crush getting domed.
>>748916396How much screen time does it have?
>>748918210Literally every mission unfortunately. She's the one that does the briefings before every mission
For me it's Camille Tewy
Kate ;_;
>>748918210technically 0 since she's not scanned in, but she does all the mission briefings so you'll be hearing her a lot even though her actual character does not appear on screen all that often
>>748918210Queen of /v/
The railgun screenshake is giving me headaches :(
>>748918431OK, Cope.
>>748916765Nagase is still the best.Also Avril was also kind of peak her character just barely existed.
>>748918210I bet if you knew her irl you would think she was really cool. But instead you choose to complain about her on the internet.
>>748917062Too bad they left Linux support in EAC disabled.
>>748916396Are ground missions usually just harder or do I just suck? The jump from mission 3 to 4 felt ludicrous.
>>748917062I don't think I'm going to touch online. I just want to play single player.
>playing through AC7 again (this time on hard)>getting filtered by every missionwtf
anyone else unable to run this shit because “needs dx 12 with shader model 6.6”windows 10 with radeon 7900 XT, and their god forsaken driver installers keep failing with a general error code
>>748919028AC7 was probably the hardest AC game. I had a hell of a time on the score mission in the desert on the hardest difficulty.
>>748916396>making the pilot take "fuck around and make X dance around the equals sign" level mathThat shit's retarded, 99% of people will never use it.Only shit you need to remember is how to convert radians to degrees because radians are retarded and Pythagoras deserved the death he got (being beaten to death by a mob with rocks).Do not trust anyone using Radians, they are mentally unwell and will drown you in the nearest river first chance they get.AC8 was a pretty alright game tho.

>>748918941You have to consider your approach and exit when going low or divebombing for ground targets, you're also probably getting lit up by AA and the fact that your maneuvering options are restricted makes it harder to dodge missiles. Learn to switch to first person for better visibility of what's actually underneath you (nose POV, not cockpit). Also bring UGBs since they're overpowered.

There is not a single world where a land battleship makes more sense than 100 tanks and artillery. Which is why we love ace combat.

>>748918210Zero screen time, they didn't use her face, thankfully. Lots of voice time, though, but thankfully Debra has a nice voice.
18E, F, or grippen?
>>748917062Cancer pay to win
>>748919682Everytime I hear of grippen I just think of this shit
>>748918210I dont mind her as long as I dont have to see her frog face
Do you think Tewy has to use diapers?
>>748919032I have a 7900xtx and the only problem I have is a popup at the start bitching that my drivers are TOO new
>>748918793Nagase is by far the whiniest and most annoying character in any piece of fiction I’ve ever encountered.
SO WE WILL RISE ABOOOOVE
>>748918210THIS is the fucking mushmouthed bitch that can't ponounce half the fucking words and terms worth shit I have to suffer? I thought it was a rookie VA doing a shitty job but holy fucking SHIT she's ATROCIOUS.
>>748918880Called it.Those fuckers kept saying "nah man they wouldn't just not enable it, that'd be dumb".I hate how I'm always right about this shit.
>>748919831More Nagase feet for me then.
>>748919109desert mission is hell but I would still argue ac5 is the hardest game in the series not out of being actually difficult but the tedium of having no refills or checkpoints at least they were kind enough to not ammo limit your gun as well that would have sucked the pixy fight in zero is also hard until you understand what he actually wants you to do to beat him great music for that level though
>>748918858I met Debra IRL durring covid when everyone was masked up and I was working a deli job while going to college. I didn't know it was her at the time since she hadn't yet become the meme she is now, but looking back it was obviously her because she had gauges in her ears, matching tattoos, and she was bald. Even with a mask, she was all smiles, I could tell from her eyes. Genuinely a pleasant woman, I don't doubt the "easy to work with" memes for a second.

post yfw when the shadows theme comes up
>>748919032Dunno if this is even relevant but an anon in the last thread said this launch argument worked for him with dx12 issues-DisableAsyncCompute -dpcvars="r.D3D12.AllowAsyncCompute=0"
>>748919636They’re goofy as fuck and idk whether I love or hate them yet but when the madmen tried tipping it back upright with thrusters that was pretty cool.
>>748919682I used the 18C ->18E the entire game on hard and it worked a treat. Though I hear the Gripen is incredibly good, and it leads to both the American and Russian endgame lines.
>>748919682I'm an autist and I only play with the 'canon' planes my first playthrough
>He bought the Raptor?>Initiate four carrier missions in a row protocol
A mission 19 at the space elevator with a superweapon battle what did they mean by that
So, why is Rex a Newtype?
>>748919973They literally throw so many Shadows at you like fodder for them to be threatening, and their gay-ass Haka singing is incredibly pathetic and lame. Like I think no joke I've downed more Shadows that I've downed SUs at this point in the game.
>>748919028>this time on hardOh fuck, I forgot turbo casuals play this series too. The games are balanced around Hard being the default difficulty.
>>748917912>and nothing particularly exciting has happened yet.Literally should've just gone in and shot all of those dumb caveniggers.
>>748919981i’m willing to try just about anything short of an OS reinstall, i’ll let you know. I’ve already tried ripping out all of my drivers and reinstalling them, I think the win11 installers from AMD dont work on win10 like they say they do.
>>748919491If anything his glasses should be sparkling. The most unrealistic thing is that they'd let a guy with glasses fly anything but a slow ass Boeing 747.

Shadows show up WAY too muchImagine if sol squadron showed up so many times. it would lose all aura
voices38 when
https://youtu.be/QFmcRO4D6cMA score attack mission where the resupply lines move up with you and clearing the map means you're done should have been like this all of the time.
>>748919403>>748919485>UGBkek yeah they certainly get the job done holy shit.
I hope they pull a reverse AC7 and the second half is much better than the first because so far I'm thoroughly unimpressed. Started off strong with Cope and the first Shadows dogfight but it's been a complete flatline since that so far.
>>748920538Double digits only show up like twice though, its mostly triple digits.
>>748920538that's kinda the point of the shadowsthe various divisions are varying levels of skill until you get to the 22nd divisionthere are even comments from the shadows when you fight the 100s and 99s and them talking shit to each other about one being better because they're "double digits"
>CALL ME UP, I'VE>GOT TO FEEL ALIVE>CALL ME UP HIGH>SET ME FREE TO FLY>MY BLUE SKY HOME
>>748920538Different units the number and the moon emblem coincides with how they're rated.It's better than 7 and Sol Squadron here since they actually let you shoot them down.
just beat mission 5, game is off to a great startmy 5 year old laptop toaster runs it fine on low settings
The cutscene QTEs are dumb and add practically nothing to the game. It's funny how everyone just sits there waiting for you to shake their hands though. Cope even coughs/grunts at you every 10 seconds until you do it.
>>748921206i wish they would have added some funny stuff if you ignore em
>>748917373>>748919716Only cosmetics use real currency, why can't /v/ ever stop being wrong?
>>748920538making every enemy ace squadron have the same look and name (and VA I think?) with just a number swapped except for 22 was a fucking retarded decisioneven having some sort of (non-)light-themed progression would've helped, ie going gloom, shade, shadow, blackhole (professor mentions it so that's a bonus point) etc

>>748920952NO ONE'S COMINGCOULD BE MY COFFINIF I BURNED LIKE A STAR WOULD YOU BE MY WITNESS
>>748921417my nigga, i did the same shit
>>74891968218E > Gripen >>>> 18FAny aircraft with QAAM's is automatic A tier, and the 18E also come with 6AAM to rape enemy planes flying in formation and the SOD for ground pound missions, it's a jack of all trades. Gripen isn't too shabby, either SASM acting like a discount QAAM, LASM letting you snipe far away planes, and 6AGM for ground targets, though, SOD is a lot more ammo efficient (and fun) to use.
>>748918941Don't get stuck picking off every 50 point target in a cluster. Point values are colored on your radar, move on when the orange/reds are done.
>>748921206My takeaway from the cutscenes is that Rex seems like somewhat of a sperg outside of his plane. I feel like the dude trips or trips up all the time. He literally scrambles for the tablet with Cope's dossier on it after the XO throws it on the table.
>>748919973The fucking Sharks who show up for a single mission are more memorable than these blowhard faggots, what an absolute fumble.
>>748921309The Morgan you stupid retard.
>>748920538Ok, but consider this
>>748920660Your poverty begging means you probably can't run the game anyway.
Mihaly was the better monologuing old man.
Look at this dude
>>748921930He looks like one of those greasy shitheads who works real estate showing off houses thinking they're hot shit because their job has them wear a suit, despite barely making minimum wage and being nothing more than a glorified doorkeeper.

Could you even fit Flankers on an Essex class or are they 2big
First Ace Combat since 5 or whatever it was on the PS2.Most fun plane? Currently I'm at mission 7, seems like a good idea just to rush the F-35. Or will currency come by pretty easily and I won't really have to worry about not being able to get something by last mission. I would go by rule of cool but kinda hard to tell by their silhoutte in the tree which one speaks to me. On expert c / expert difficulty it doesn't seem too hard so far.
>>748917912shut the fuck up retard
>>748922208f35 is a great choicebut follow your heart, i just went fro flankers because i like em
>>748922056The real Ace Combat was all the friends we made on the way.
>>748922208F-35 is a bit of a noob trap compared to the other end game planes, just go for what you think is cool.
>>748921930Of course he's wearing sneakers with a suit.

>>748922208You get the most currency by just playing the missions. The first time completion bonuses tallies up to like 90% of your income over the course of the campaign. Just pick whichever of the three jets at the end you think is coolest. I bumrushed the F-22 because I'm a boomer but the F-35 can do all those crazy post stall maneuvers people have been posting videos of
>>748922350I unironically prefer the Rafale for its loadout
>>748922337Why the fuck couldn't we have gotten a cool, unique Squad name like that. Joker and "Rex" are so fucking laaaaaaaaaaame, literally what you'd get around the top of the list if you were to poll underaged kids what they think a cool callsign and squadron name would be.
If anybody uses the f35 they deserve eternal shame. Airplanes are supposed to be cool, not a boring logistical focused IOT device.
>>748922437>>748922350Yeah the LACM and LAAM are broken for their respective reasons. Also a great plane to buy multiple of for squad to use.
>>748922151>the game has the bug eyed black lady in itIt doesn't, you're just looking for an excuse to justify your poor behavior.
>>748922545okay buddy and what is the cool plane
>>748922527Well I guess because of Joker and Queen we are using playing cards, its why at the end its King squad.
>>748922696The f22, or one of the SUs. Or the f15, or f14, or f16, or f4.Pretty much all of them except the f35 really.

>>748922796i like how you changed it from Blaze to MC of ac5 because /v/ may not know who blaze is by name
>>748922527>literally what you'd get around the top of the list if you were to poll underaged kids what they think a cool callsign and squadron name would be.It fits then, Joker Flight is the propaganda team, with Rex as the lovable main character that the FCU can push as the hero of the war against Sotoa.The fact Ray is an actual, genuine Ace and Joker team's victories are not just propaganda anymore is what makes it cool.
>>748922337Didn't hit me until after the mission and I listened to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiWcMkTjMLo that it hit me those niggers are all fucking dead and died heroes.
>>748922778f22 when the carrier missions come up
>>748922545Sounds like someone who lives in a country that got strong-armed into leasing the F-35, lmao. It's not all bad, it's a perfectly capable plane as long as you don't target a high value American asset or ally.

>>748923145i'll fuck you till you love me niggerfaggot
>>748920538I don’t know why they cockteased us the whole game with separatist squadrons and then didn’t give them a single proper bossfight (but I am only on mission 20 so maybe that changed) At this point my only satisfaction with the shadows is raping one to two of them off the bat
>>748918210Easy to work with
>>748922982I will larp as mobius and there's nothing you can do
>>748922960I love how in the joker edition vinyl, they put the purple magic songs together with song of wings, since Coster canonically composed song of wings in-universe so he gets to be on the same side of the record as his idols

>>748918210Debra board, cunt.

>>748923308Would you prefer they lithp it?
>>748918210I don't have any particular problem with her voicework.

>>748923362>retard crashes fighter jet>put him in same jet as your "war hero">it crashes, war hero dies but retard gets out alive>put him in another oneShe's genuinely too forgiving lol.
>>748922973kek, you think the f35 controversy started recently? It's been a sham for 20 years. It's a parts supply and maintenance racket for Lockheed Martin, not a plane, even for the american military.Arguably that does make logistical sense... it's just also boring and soulless as fuck compared to previous generations of plane.
>>748922056>DD photoshops Joker Flight to make them look bigger than they actually are>it sort of ends up happening for real, complete with an identical shot
>>748922337i didn't notice it until i replayed the mission, but you can see blue flashes in the north from the battleship firing as they're fighting it

>>748916396I actually kinda really liked the ending. I ended up liking Cope and d.d much more than I thought. I wonder if we're going straight to Electro Sphere, or there will be another game set in between the 10 years of 8 and Electro Sphere.

>>748924074yeah, general consensus is that it kinda sucks. would've been more bearable if you were allowed to do literally anything other than shoot straight-line crude missiles for 10 minutes as everyone yaps.
>>748924253>sotoan-yuktobanian warI can't believe I'm rooting for the Yukes, what a world.
>>748924303Kinda wild how bad that submarine fight was, when they had a perfect one in 7, sure it was DLC, but still.
>>748916396>play through game in a tomcat as soon as I unlock it>getting my shit pushed in constantly toward the end >start a new campaign using a rhino and all the parts I could now buy>game is 10x easierI really hope the next season has a better f14 just for the campaign, I don't think the cat is gonna make it on ace difficulty with any amount of parts. I really like that one of the post-game rewards is bags.
>>748924253when we get to choose who to side with between Sotoa and Yuktobania what’s the right choice, hot wheels or Tasha’s mom?

I hated gimmick missions in AC7. Is this game more like old AC? I mean mostly dogfight air to ground missions without any extra mechanics? Or are there none of those again?
>>748924184I'm more wondering, that if they do a Electro Sphere, whether or not it's going to be Electro Sphere or we're going to get a different version that tones down the future aspects of the game. Because, lets say we get a pretty faithful Electro Sphere type of game, what is after that for Ace Combat? Besides prequels, and games set in between other games. I wonder if the Strangereal arc is coming to a close.
>>748924774Morgan?
>>748924662should’ve had comms of the chant getting cut off and less echoed as you down more and more from each flightuntil there’s only 1 horsefucker left and you can silence the rabid dog forever
>>748924852There is one gimmick mission I can think of, but even older ones have a gimmick stealth mission Guess it depends on what you consider a gimmick mission
>>748924662Technically, you can't. Even if you weren't all stepping on each other, the latency wouldn't allow synchronized singing from multiple sources. What's actually happening is that there's 30 sotoans in a TOC somewhere all doing a college football hype chant into a handset.
>>748924907Doesn't the chant stop once fighting starts, I feel like I never hear it after 5 or so seconds because other music kicks in
>>748925032if you listen to the soundtrack they just use the chant with radio effect as the intro; some bring the chanting or its melody back as part of the song later though
>>748924953>Guess it depends on what you consider a gimmick missionAC zero had excalibur, flying fortress and that is all I count as gimmicks. I don't count the valley run in final mission cause that is staple and honestly flying fortress is a staple but not like fucking AC7 when it is in 3 missions. I mean all the bullshit like no IFF missions, shooting down ICBM's, drones drones drones, x02 having a fucking railgun, sandstorm, lightning storm in canyon hitting your plane and making you randomly crash, EVERYTHING in DLC. All gimmicks. No pure gameplay.So is 8 like that? Cause I am thiking of buying but I don't want another bullshit fest like AC7.
>>748924880>I wonder if the Strangereal arc is coming to a close.cue Meteor 2: Electric Boogaloo
>>748916396Besides the ones which don't have a tunnel run, this game probably has the worst tunnel run of any ace combat game, the optional ones were fun though, I kinda enjoyed breaking the glass at the space elevator and going back up through it.
>>748925032Yes but my post was more of a what they should have done situationEvery sotoan should be strung up by their ankles and gutted from groin to neckLine the tracks made by their dumbass land battleships with their splayed corpses on posts
>>748925325
>>7489252548 is probably half like that, maybe more if literally all you wanna do is straightforward missions against realistic enemy machines with zero twists.
>>748925395I did this too thinking that was the correct route at first, but nope.

Has their ever been an experimental plane as overpowered as the one with the special weapon that targets like 12 enemies perfectly from AC6?

>>748926226Just anime things.
>>748916587do girls like this really exist in the air force?
>>748926226Story, but it was also supposed to hint at Cope's true country of origin, but then they spell it out in that mission anyhow, so lmao.
>>748926462She's a civilian pilot temporarily drafted into the FCU Navy, no.
>>748926226They heard Wings crashed and went to find out what the person was like. Both of them give you the side eye. Also considering Cope was Sotoan I imagine he met one/both of them
>>748926462No such things. High G and phisical standards are unbearable for women.
I still don't even know wtf do the Sotoans even want
>>748926548land, grass
>>748926548They literally explain it after the first mission lmao.

>>748926548Their country is dying because desertification of their land, they got shafted when wanting to join the FSU, so they went to war instead.

>>748926627They need to bring larry back at some point. I can't keep living like this.

>>748926740Just imagine he's at the Space Elevator giving Erusea the stink eye for being a country.
As much as I'm excited about heading to the Electrosphere, capturing the retro-futuristic vibes from Y2K would prove really challenging with modern graphics.The low graphical fidelity, along with the visual aesthetics of the era, is what helps to fill in the gaps of our imagination, of what AC3's future and world must be like.

>>748926532cope outright tells you he was tewy's childhood friend, the additional implication being that tewy took cope's stories and used them to larp as though she was always in tune with the commoners' way of life despite being a noble
>>748926687I know the whole thing of nobody turns into god pilot is a thing we all love, but in past main-line games, except Zero, I think we were always new rookies that just started, but rex is supposedly a crashed pilot who has been with the FCU for a while now, then gets picked up, and becomes a WSO, until becoming "Rex" how did he not have a insane track record before ending up on the carrier? I mean it's all semantics, because who cares, but compared to all other games, this is probably the biggest "huh, that's weird" so far.
>>748926947no that cant be right because tewy is like 10-15 years older than cope, right? i thought he was like a child when she was already in the air
>>748927046brain damage buffed him
>>748927046>how did he not have a insane track record before ending up on the carrier?The ghost of Cope blueballing him from jacking off in the privacy of his own rack to Tasha made him take out all his frustration on Sotoa.
>>748917062I'm on linux so I can't even if I wanted to
>>748927046He's boosted by having an omniscient ghost of another mediocre pilot telling him what to do.As an aside, the game would have been a solid full point higher if the ghost was a girl with a nice voice like Ayre from armored core 6.
>>748927046Double concussions on the same day turned him into a god. The interesting thing he seemingly gives it all up at the end to just become Kate's navigator.
>>748927046The Ghost of Theve makes him stronger !
>>748925279The whole thing with Nagase's cameo at the end of 7 was because Harling recruited her to lead a space mission to stop a second Ulysses-grade asteroid that was on a collision course with the planet.
>>748927180I'm still upset we didn't get a Armored Core 6 DLC/Expansion.
>>748927180Cope wasn't mediocre, he was pulling some insane stunts in the prologue
>>748927180what if the DLC starts with another pilot getting shot down and she winds up in Rex's head too like he's collecting pokemon
>>748927459He's already got me in his head, and I'm every ace from every one of the previous wars in this timeline. He's good ;)
>>748927459Rex the soul eater
>>748916396woke combat 8
>>748927268Even wilder is that this is the first time we've actually gotten some sort of now-after story bit, regarding the ace pilot you play as, as all past games, just left it up to imagination, but here we see Rex, or King now essentially as a WSO.[/spoiler>>748927180Cope was good, but there is a reason why he wasn't shooting down other pilots, and it was told in the story.
>AC7 enemy ace is an old dude >AC8 enemy ace is a lady in a wheelchairCan't wait to see the enemy ace of AC9
>>748927059if you mean that last shot it's metaphorical valhalla imagery, and even if not as the daughter of a war chief in a mongol steppe society i'd say it's not unreasonable for her to receive pilot training at a young age (see also, tasha). he talks way too familiarly about tewy for them to not have been friends if not in young love in the past
>>748927046Blaze, Mobius, Trigger and technically Nemo are all newbies at the start of their games. Phoenix, Gryphus 1, Talisman and Rex were all somewhat established pilots by the time their games started. They just never had to pull off the feats they did because they were never involved in a war, so we're really at 50/50 in terms of how the pilots are done. AC9 will probably have a nugget protagonist again.
>>748919787CatheterHow else is she going to keep her whites crisp
>>748927570forced outrage
>>748927583God damned woke nonsense!
>>748927583it'll be nemo unleashed upon the real world
>>748927583to be fair once C.O.F.F.I.N systems are in by Electrosphere times you could get a fully paralysed pilot since they control the plane by thought
>>748918210fugly negro BITCH
It's frankly astonishing how weak the governments are in StrangerealLetting those hobos live under the fucking WORLD SPACE ELEVATOR is dumb as hellGiving complete sovereignty to crypto bros is dumb as hell but YET it's current year and it's never been closer to actually happening than nowlmao at the fuckin' guy from ac7's tiny little country splitting off from Erusea after they lost the war and somehow not joining the feds
I don't think I've ever actually wanted an emote before until now.
i dont understand the protagonist. these games are becoming a bit more outlandish than usual. so your player character is a schizo? if answering this question spoils anything just say banana cream pie
>>748927993hey i want that
>>748928042Banana cream pie
>>748928042It is genuinely unresolved by the end of the game if Rex is merely hallucinating or possessed by the spirit of a dead Mongolian
>>748928042There is no answer.
>>748925395Understandable, tunnels awaken a deep need to be flown through at high speed.They should call in wil e coyote for their air defense program tbqh.
>>748920156Just like the real Haka.
>>748927580>queen flight and half of joker flight glaze cope and tasha, who fly around and do jack shit and somehow thats a good, respectable thingbruh if im kate watching everyone get shot down over the course of the war the last thing im doing is wistfully recalling what a good fucking pilot cope was for flying around not shooting at anyone while everyone dies
>>748920952Mission 8 is just incredible for being so early in the game. That would have been an endgame mission in one of the PS2 games.
>>748926114Haven't heard of that in decades, isn't that dead though?
I couldn't see fucking shit in 7, every time it was like a flashbang in my fucking eyes and the ui was unreadable over the clouds. Have they solved the problem in 8 like... sunglasses or some filter on the mask?
>>748928294uh no? its woke and slop havent you heard, also too many sams unfun
>>748928293I don't think Tasha would have ever been pressed into service if shit hadn't hit the fan the way it did. She essentially didn't want to kill, but they needed bodies in the air for propaganda reasons. Remember, Joker squad didn't really do much until Nu-rex happened.
>>748918210she's your bossshe talks to you before, after every missionand during your missions half the time.The game won't let you forget your boss is a black woman.
Anyone else find it hilarious that Cope is straight up simping for the villain chickUntil she dies and then he's like 'serves you right fucking noble bitch'
Can anyone confirm whether the HOTAS 4 and/or 5 is compatible with the PS5 version?I've seen one person say it works on PC by default and I know there are two new sticks that work with the PS5 version, but I don't want to spend twice as much on a stick and have it not be compatible with older PS4 games.
>>748928676Not at all, don't believe anyone who tells you otherwiseThe support is simply not there
>>74891968218EThe multiple AAMs are dogshit against anything that doesn't fly straight (almost every fighter)I feel like the 18E and F should have their weapons swapped for ground pounding, the SOD rapes.
>>748918210She's a great voice actor. Problem is devs keep using her likeness, but that doesn't happen here. She's VERY good as the XO>>748920156That's kind of the point. The Sotoans, outside of the insane tech they're sporting due to Enso, are paper tigers getting by on commiting war crimes. The Shadows start crumbling the moment Rex puts a fight against them. You literally take out 12 of them at once in one point. They are religious fanatics with an orbital nuke machine, but they can't cut it as aces. Moon 11 and Shadow 22 are the only true Aces they have.
>>748928671We don't know exactly what their relationship was in the past which could have been anything from friends to lovers, but Cope just hated what she had become so he wanted her put down.
>>748927993kino
>>748928671He could only faintly remember her, until later on where he recalled her more and more from his memories, and how current her contradicts everything she said and apparently was before. Cope is happy you killed the monster she became.
>>748928404solved it? the FOV is narrower, the SAMs more persistent, and the density even fucking higherI cant even see shit with bloom on, since the UI greens all bloom onto each other sometimes>>748928560bruh when you join them theyre the only planes with pilots the army cant afford to not deployand by your statement alone it makes no sense that they keep glazing cope about half way into the game for no fucking reason
>>748928775>bombers now have three hitboxes>this just means SASM are better for oneshotting them
>>748924852This game is MUCH more traditional. No lightning throwing you into mountains or sandstorms or finding invisible SAMs. Only "gimmick" is one boss fight which is very annoying in the midway point of the game.
>>748929198>No lightning throwing you into mountains or sandstorms or finding invisible SAMs.Those felt like gimmicks to some people? Those didn't trouble me at all.
>>748926226>Sets up Cope's connection to Sotoa>Shows how horrible the villains are>Slows the pace of the game in the exact midpoint since it has 30 missions and you were on full throtle during all of it
>>748929341>a literal 1 mission gimmick is anon's smoking gun for AC7 not being traditionalgrim
>>748928784>Problem is devs keep using her likeness>the problem is if the piece of shit is steaming >it's ok now that it's just cold hard shitfuck off leftist
>>748928042They didn't know how to fill the dead air so made your character have an identity crisis.
>>748929341if you follow the replies the original guy has an extremely low tolerance for what is counted as a "gimmick," most of the stuff he listed is just regular ace combat
>>748928671The Sotoans are nomads, and in Cope's eyes she completely misunderstood the meaning of that It's explained in Hortus Regis Alti, like, the whole concept of being a Nomad.I guess she got a change of mind in her finals moments. But in the end Cope embraced her during Rex's vision. In that scene with the green fields. I enjoyed it :^)
soproject wingman 2 when
>>748924590>only a year before AC5the belkans must really be good at churning those things out
>>748927956It's implied that Cossete used her political connection to ensure Shilage and the Elevator's standings as sovereign entities, no? I doubt the current Erusean government would go into ANOTHER war for those, especially with the elevator supplying them with electricity.
>>748929341some fags for whatever reason treat ace combat like fucking competitive smash where you have to disable all the fun features because of MUH GIMMICK so every mission should be a straight 1v1 against an ace with nothing else on a flat map with nothing in it

>>748928376Nope. They added that Shadow Labyrinth to it.
>>748919954the gun is ammo limited.
>>748926226they make plane games they're still figuring out the whole "story" thingsomebody made the decision to keep to Rex's perspective through the entire game, so halfway through the story they realized we don't know who the fuck we're even againstthe battleship was the main sotoan character for the good chunk of the gameso you get this contrived meeting so you can at least see them and hear them say some generic bad guy stuffwhat I'm wondering is why not do it though the TV broadcasts like they did in 7
>>748929536that doesnt even make any sensehes dead how the fuck can he have a change of heart
>>748927956they aren't hobos it's practically a Singapore/Hong Kong ripoff
Both Land cruiser commanders going full “Not one step back” was so fucking Kino in each fight. Satoan’s was such a fun villain faction
>>748928042Cope knowing things before they happen makes me think it was no hallucination.
>>748929536That ending was cute, but also what were Kate and Rex doing in Sotoan's territory in a low flyer? I wonder if we're getting DLC set in Sotoa.
>Slowly starts to look at you and talk each time you go through Aircraft Selection.This game is packed with so much fucking soul if only the F18 didn't control like dogwater and there weren't so many fucking tutorials.

>>748929952Did they though? As far as I saw it just poofed out of his hands, and Kate was wondering why Rex was spacing out.
>>748929916recon/surveying
>>748921206I've noticed some interactivity with them like how you can choose to have Coster stick with the bang guys or come back and cover you.
>>748929850if anything they didn't do enough of a job with the first person perspective and still ran out of budget with how they just resorted to all the DD phone shotsthat whole village section feels like they just want to make Yellow Squadron again, not complaining, but that's what it feels like to me

>>748930057what the fuck, Faceless Soldier is THE second most gimmicky mission with only Bunker Buster being more gimmicky, you're nuts when First Contact is already a gimmick
>>748930069Uh...Yes? I guess...
>>748930254mission gimmicks are the core of the series just as much as the rest, retarded fag
>>748930350>you're nuts when First Contact is already a gimmick to you
>>748929919Why in the hell do tutorial popups still happen on ace? I already beat the game to unlock the difficulty fuck off!!!
>It's WokeI'm so tired bros
>>748930291Rex has a microchip in his braon with Cope's memories. It's an Enso project.
>Rookie squadron engages you in their fanciest planes>Gets insta-killed on contactHuehuehue
>>748930350I said I am being charitable. Low altitude missions are preestablished. But yeah the overall feel of it was pretty disgusting nu-ace combat.
>>748930406>QoLmy guy this game sells a series mainstay on day 0 for 10 bucks what the fuck do you think? its a rush job and releasing in time for the VGAs seems to be all they gave a fuck about
>>748916396>cutscenes have absolute dogshit performance>gameplay is smooth as butterwtf
>>748930367Not for zero or 4 which are the top of the series. And if you bring up 3 japan then it had 52 missions so they at least had some meat around them. More than half of Ace Combat 7 is pure zoomer movie game bullshit.

>>748930329Just so fucking great. When the Landship went full “Fire everything” was so fucking awesome
I've made it to the last five missions and the only one I didn't S-rank is Rex & Professor's wacky getaway because I was too tired to reset after a fail and took a checkpoint restart

>>748916396Man I actually ended up liking Baxter and D.D, wtf.
>>748930635Anita was a proven con artist. The fact that she got any traction should tell you that the game was lost from the start because the game was rigged. Best you can do now is pirate for gameplay and laugh at woke flops.

>>748930770>>748930841Thank god I ended up playing Jap for this one, because I wanted to hear the explosion girl VA. But will have to do a run in English.

>>748930924
>>748930543They went extra hard on the RT and shit in cutscenes. Wouldn't be surprised if they just straight up ignore your settings.

>>748930886>mfw "is it time to run?" ">NO" and the guitar kicks in
It’s pretty funny how awful the Sotoans are at actually fighting when they lose their warcrime machines.
XSDB on the Raptor took a hit in this game you only get up to 48 and that's with the load expansion part.Everything else about the F-22 is the usual goodness though I first brought it to the level where you get ambushed by Shadow F-22's, spammed QAAM and PSM flips they all died in under a minute.
I think difficulty levels in Co-Op are dependent on ranks. So higher ranks with high level planes don't even up with noobs in F-4s. I'm Sargent now and it moved me up to difficulty 4.
>>748931181Yea I had the same reaction.
><<Rex, a crab is not a sun>>
>>748930841Awwww shit nigga. I loved when Dip lost his mind with Crimson and started yelling at him to shut up.
>>748931361no one asked p2w bro
>>748918210She has a good voice so atleast thats going for her
is the enemy count high like in 7s SP missions?
>>748931454there's a mission with a thousand enemies
>>748931050I'm really happy with the music and mixing in this game, so many little touches, like how when you are selecting your squads aircraft in the second to last mission, it adds a new instrument to the music mix to hype you up.
>>748918210Use the jap voices? I don't understand why anyone would use the EN dub, but you get what you choose I guess
>>748916396The game would improve massively if there was an option to disable the dead loser in my head constantly commenting on things.
>>748931573nta, but if I didn't know enough Japanese to not have to stare at the subtitles every two seconds, I would probably go English as well, this AC probably has the most spoken dialogue of any AC game, especially mid mission and combat.
>>748919028Use expert controls
So there was some experimental sublimation stuff going on right? Like, Cope literally predicts stuff at multiple times, and the intro has the entire focus on numbers.
>>748931573I don't want to be reading subtitles for the chatter in the middle of dogfights
SOD is hilariously broken
>>748931454a lot of missions have pretty high target density but it feels like i chewed through them much faster than in something like anchorhead raid
>>748931691i'm so disappointed ac isn't on sale on steam:(
>>748931707Martha would have sublimated Dision near the end of the war if the 3 timeline doesn't get shifted around.
>>748927046stand user: COPE
>>748931574Cope is based anon. One of the coolest lines in the game comes from him during a missionAs the sotoans sre shocked that you and Professor are able to hold them off and keep sending more planes, Cope goes "Big mistake. These skies belong to you. Go take what's yours".
>>748931754You should get it. It's actually worth the price.
>*Feed my dog for me*CAN THIS MISSION JUSTSTOPPLEASE
>Tasha walking away in the distance>Cope: Go on, go take whats yourswhat did he mean by this?
>>748931815>Stand userI hear they can be anybody.
>>748927180>omniscient ghostit's just mental illnessCope ghost never says anything Rex either doesn't know already or can't/won't verify (ie history of people)
>lets plan a major amphibious operation into an urbanized zone and throw literally everything we have into it based on a single photo we haven't even bothered to check for AI fuckery man no wonder the FCU got fucking steamrolled into dissolution by 2 ships
I thought it was clever how the marketing focused hard on Tasha but the actual heroine of the game is Kate. I think they have tried this "please care about this pilot from a different squadron" story beat multiple times but this is the first time where it was successful.
>>748931921He literally predics coordinates and enemy numbers in one of the missions. He says stuff the AWACS is about to say before he says it
>>748931983I wouldnt have mind if tasha died trying to do a kulbit in front of the land battleship or something and kate took over
>>748926643>>748926623>>748926582which is retarded>entire countries with functioning economies, spitting out fighter planes like broodmothers>all good>nomadic goat farmers>somehow their entire land turns into deserthow, the whole point of nomadic lifestyle is that you move somewhere else once shit runs out, did they build factories on wheels to pollute shit on the move?
>>748931825>Cope is based anon.>either whines or goes on chuuni rants about war and flying>basedNo, he's a fucking retard. If they must put a voice in the player's head, at least make it someone cool or a big tiddy succubus like in Dark Messiah

>Thought the whole Cope thing was just a fun way for the game to have a narrator>No he is actually a ghost and haunts the player the entire gameWhat
>>748932265Send a spacecraft full of PLSLs up the space elevator and clean everything up
>>748932337devs watched a max0r video about AC7 and decided it would be funny to make you schizophrenic
>>748932337Cope is the Ghost of Thiev
What do the drop tanks even do?
Megafloat looks intense is it a good time to buy the F-15E
>>748932421Wouldve been great to have a mission where cope wakes you up in the middle of the night and makes you take off because he has a "bad feeling" and thats when the 1000 planes get detected. Something that actually made cope being in your head meaningful other than a silly way of giving exposition
Kinda crazy that as anime as it is, Ace Combat does past game character/location fanservice in a very elegant way. Loved the way characters from 7 and 5 were used here. Also really cool how Tasha, being so young, doesn't have the generational trauma of seeing the meteors raining on earth.
>>748932552Yes, and get the cluster munitions for it.
Don't make threads. It'a a degenerate game and it's a degenerate country.
>>748932571>Also really cool how Tasha, being so young, doesn't have the generational trauma of seeing the meteors raining on earth.I didn't even think about that.
>>748927583
>>748931725I still haven't tried them. I thought people were saying they were shit... SFFS will always remain my favorite bomb anyway.
https://youtu.be/QFmcRO4D6cMhttps://youtu.be/hn9cag6Qrcs
honestly, outstanding work on the character writing departmentI ended up being fond/liking so many of them, which feels so weird after playing 7 and finding most characters so uninteresting and irrelevant after a couple missions
Really don't like the whole "Sotoa-Yuktobania 2009 war" retcon. In AC5 I aas always under the impression that, like Harling, Nikanor was anti-war. Don't see him going to war one year before unless Sotoa were the aggressors.
>>748932551Nothing besides having the potential to look sick in replays when dropped.
>>748932737Based on what I've seen Sotoa probably started it.
>>748932737Looking at how the Sotoans act in this game, I highly doubt the Yukes were at fault here.
>>748932694They just take some getting used to. SFFS are beyond broken, and apparently literally broken since I've seen someone say you can kill the final mission too quickly with them and bug it out.
i have an idea for SP missions, general resource hires (you) a certain legendary merc pilot to carry out strikes on rival corporations across usea, with many ace squadrons hunting you down for being a terrorist, a showdown with trigger, and a final showdown over grunder industries HQ with the newest members of razgriz squadron
>>748932038so does tasha at some point, might have been a hunch, saw a number somewhere else, or saw a glint off enemy airplane, and his subconscious picked up on italso those numbers show up in intro before Cope's deathor the reason you know random numbers, interact with the dead and suddenly acquired exceptional skills is because you were MKUltra'dIt is kinda weird they just found you and nobody in the military knew of your skill
>>748932737>anti-warThe only way to ensure peace is to eradicate the warmongers with our glorious planes and superweapons>refugee camp +100
>>748933282>It is kinda weird they just found you and nobody in the military knew of your skillWell, to be fair even Mobius 1 got pushed back by Erusia back to North Point before (you) took control. (You) were the ghost ace in the series all along.
Getting to be the bomber pilot that flies around at Mach 2+ attacking fleets sounds like the coolest job in the world
>>748932138see>>748926623
Honrstly didn't expect all the Electrosphere teases in the game considering it's an entry that only a small part of the fanbase played through a fan translation.D.D. suddenly talking about the a world owned by a megacorp, Cossete talking about a world with no borders, etc.
>>748924253Game is so bad that shills are shilling AC9 lolFunny how everyone either moved on or just talk about Online mode (which is also dogshit)
>the war criminal>the mute that gave generational trauma to eruseans>the ex-convict mute freak that really hates AI>the schizo off his medsstrangereal pilots are a colorful bunch
Tewy lol
>>748932737Harling was played by his Vice President so could be the same thing here, they recycled the hardliners taking over government plot a few times alreadywe don't even know how that war went, although you really would've expected someone to bring it up in 5's timeline
>>748933670Not to mention (actual spoiler) GR buying all of enso's assets before the credits roll.
>>748933714>AC Zero>AC 4>AC 7>AC 8Is that correct?
>>748933282nta, I think it's actual strangereal newtype stuff. the hunch of tasha? remember, she is a bit special too, just like cope was, just a bit less - people who become the wind. I think that scene was meant to convey that and tasha herself interpreted it as>I think I saw somethingdespite that being obviously ridiculous considering it was so far away the AWACS hadn't picked up on it yet.
Do people really not get the whole Cope thing?>AC protagonists are shells that become the most capable pilots when <<we>> take control of them>Enso tries to manufacture one of these Aces artificially>He dies in the same plane as <<we>>, the new actual Ace 4th dimension being are in>As such, his conscience gets transferred to ours
>>748933826Are we getting a remake of AC3?
>>748933863yesi completely forgot about 5, what does blaze even do
>>748933923Traumatizing even more Balkans.
>>748933923Finishes the job Cipher started
>>748933913Considering 3 is a simulation, I think we'll get a game running parallel to it showing the ACTUAL state of the world.
>>748933923Sweet, baby making sex with Nagase

>>748933923>muh black valkyrie thing
>>748933470>rapid industrialization>nomadic way of lifeThese two are not compatibile.And if you make a factory on wheels>rapid land degradationStops making sense. Land around a stationary industrial complex that always pollutes in the same spot is always going to be way worse than from a mobile one, which can pollute in one place, then move somewhere else, letting it regenerate.
>>748934048
>>748933826There is also a good chance that GR is just the new form Enso took on, as D.D. implied, that the subsidiaries that buy up the Enso properties are likely owned by the same people who were behind Enso, but it's impossible to proof due to how Enso operated.

>>748934168just like I remember it.
>>748934168Just the way god intended
Give it to me straight ACbros. Is this money worth the 70 dollars on PS5?
>>748933898What says that we're from enso?
>>748934303yes
>>748934227I wouldn't be surprised if it's some type of secret tech that's related to the COFFIN cockpits.
>>748934191It's AC, you can do anything by air. They probably invented roads by thinking "what if we put public runways in the city for people to use"
>>748934201>should I play this if I've never played an AC game before?You'll miss a lot of references but it's fine as an entry point. Maybe try 7 first since it's cheaper, and has the same default control scheme and easy-fly mode.
Which Air Conditioner should i play as my first AC game?
>>748933670We were getting teased back in 7 with "Martha" being explicitly named by Dr SchroederMakes me wonder if they had the story of 8 already in the plans back then, or at least some rough idea about what should happen in future games
>>748934421>default control scheme and easy-fly modeCome on. I refuse to believe people use the simply controls beyond thinking "expert' will be so.e difficult simshit or something
can you sell planes?
>>748934582Some people can't even figure out that you can't turn a jet ski without the throttle.
>>748934639Nope.

>>748924880we return to real life
>>7489344748
people are talking and saying that 8's ending is leading us to the electrosphere timeline and i want to know more.tell me about the electrosphere.
>>748934320Did you forget that DD is a literal Enso plant? And even though he himself has good intentions it really doesn't look good when your symbol of hope war hero is being propped up by a big warmonger corporation.
>Which AC should I play?The answer is all of them.You can emulate them all easily. If you happen to own an Xbox, an AC6 disc will work on it because AC6 was the pre-order bonus for 7 back in the way.The one game you should be informed on is Ace Combat 3, the american version is heavily edited, look for the patched JP version to experience the full game as it was meant to be.Now go and fly planes.
>not only are you haunted by a ghost, he's an actual numbers mumbling schizo
>>748935295So i guess cope was also from enso since he was the wings of theve firstI dont share your headcanon anon, cope was just a ghost was wanted to fly with his long lost fake nomad gf in the afterlife
I enjoyed Assault Horizon
>>748935276cyberpunk stuff in airplanestakes place in the 2040s, corporations-control-the-world and such, transhumanism themes (the ghost in the shell anime studio did all the cutscenes even) emulate the game, it has an english patch

>>748933923Defense against belknigger glowops and mating press sex with NagaseAnd pouring a beer out onto Chopper's grave...
>>748935515I hate the build quality of the new PS4 controllers man. Shit fucking charge port looser than an e-grill's asshole.I miss my DS3 man.
Started playing today, I'm at like mission 16 so far. I think the only mission I had some difficulty with so far was the dodge the radar one.Liking it though, guess I'll play through the rest tomorrow.
>game only displays PS input for Dualshock 4 if it's connected via USB>despite my PC and Steam recognizing it as Dualshock 4 when connected by bluetooth>Steam even warns me that the game doesn't display PS runes if I'm using wirelessNigga what
I don't know how many times I've heard about Cope's middle finger in mission 14. It's impossible to not get hit by the missiles even that are scripted to come at you so I'm wondering if I'm going the wrong way or if my game is bugged
>>748935464I did too at the time. I liked the ac130 and bomber missions.
>>748935671I loved being able to pain your jet any color. They will probably never bring it back due to microtransactions.
>>748935632That's the radar one, right? I had to be very careful with high-g turns to make the trainer turn efficiently until I snagged my checkpoint.
>>748935464We'll get helicopters back some day
>>748935740Yes. Even if I don't hit the radars, the black guy still launches two missiles at me.
>>748935465>>748935519that sounds fucking awesome.
They should add realistic waring sounds
>>748936040The F-18 does, it's kind of weird because everyone else gets regular warnings
>>748935727Yeah I used a cipher f15 with green instead of blue. It was really cool.
The sonic boom whenever you accelerate is getting kinda annoying.
>>748936153Yeah ejaculating so much can get pretty messy
>>748936153It's the boom of your plane spraying fuel into your exhaust and it literally exploding (afterburner)
So, how to exactly unlock ACE difficulty?
Every ace combat pilot is like>uuuuooohh, I want to be one with the sky, to fly free like a bird, the endless blue uuuooooh to have wings to fly, the windwhere's the characters that are like >fuck the wind fuck the sky fuck the birds I just want to KILL I NEED TO KILL MISSILE LOCK MISSILE LOCK KILL SHOOT MURDER
>>748935823Nvm, turns out I was supposed to go left instead of right. Horrible mission regardless, I want to shoot shit
>>748936153when there's mid-mission yapping i stay right around mach 1 and go in and out of it just to listen to the sound, i love it
>>748936304>hate the sky>apply for job where you have to constantly experience being in the sky>???Crewing submarines, probably.
>>748936304that's every player characterand almost every sotoan
>>748936279campaign run on hard (elite in 8), same as it ever was
>>748935464I miss AH's MP. Making a comeback with a bomber was so exciting.
>>748936304That's pretty much Rex (You) though. Everyone were genuinely shocked by how bloodthirsty you are once you're in the pilot seat.
>>748933714>mfw when the doctor hits me with 'brainwaves normal' after a check but I'm still hearing my dead co-pilot talk to me
>>748936532Considering up until that point you were a nobody that fucked up while evacuating they were just expecting you to go through the motionsJUST GOT THAT KILLER IN ME DAWG
>>748933863>>748933714My headcanon is that it's all the same guy, he just keeps assuming false identities so he can join random underdog nation air forces and get into more and more intense dogfights.
The boss fight against the 2 bombersHOLY KINOThat was almost the coolest boss in the series>>748930061I'm glad I got spoiled this, truly the best girl, please don't die please don't be the traitor tooPeople who say Tasha is more cute reminds me of the gif of the retard looking at the pretty rainbow lights, just take a better look because holy shit, Kate doesn't even need to try to look gorgeous.
>>748936532The brain damage unlocked some kind of mental limiter that gave (you) the personality of a hunter-killer drone that gets off on killstreaks, I suppose>>748936602To be fair he looking for brain contusions and shit, not the ghost hovering over (you)
>Enso's Order goal is to remove borders dude Pixy would have loved these guys, no wonder they bundled 0 with 8
>>748936304that's torres, he's practically writtem to be like the evil version of the protagonist, he's even score obsessed
>>748931574That's the best part
>>748936617>shitty transport chopper pilot crashes and blacks out>gets pressed into becoming fighter pilot>ends up becoming Lu Bu of the skiesKino
>>748936671>(you) were the ghost all along, you just possess more and more pilots since the chronologically first game to satisfy your insatiable lust for blood and sky>(you) engineered the existence of the electrosphere so that you can fly and fight forever instead of nations inventing cringe drones that take away your funI'd believe it at this point.
>>748936749>To be fair he looking for brain contusions and shit, not the ghost hovering over (you)Fair, it's just really funny to hear>yeah your brain's finefollowed by>hey I'm Satoan Tom Cruise and I'm going to be living in your head until you kill enough Satoans
>>748936767What's interesting is that it's basically been the same group in every Ace Combat pulling the strings from the Gray Men all the way to EnsoThey make a point to tell you that even though Enso is gone the money behind it just bought its assets and kept going like nothing had happened (becoming General Resources)
>>748935342>The answer is all of them.This.
>>748936304>where's the characters that are like>>fuck the wind fuck the sky fuck the birds I just want to KILL I NEED TO KILL MISSILE LOCK MISSILE LOCK KILL SHOOT MURDERAin't that Cipher if you kill everything?
>>748936304The player character, every PC is basically compelled by their desire to gain dopamine from engaging in increasingly insane fights to the degree that gravity no longer affects them and they can make turns hard enough to cause most people to implode.
>>748937098>Ain't that Cipher if you kill everything?I blame Pixy.>HEY CIPHER, ARE THOSE TENTS AND CIVILIAN RESIDENCES TARGETS?>THEY COULD BE HIDING WEAPONS AND TROOPS.>fire on one>+100 points>which goes towards getting a better airframe and moving away from the starter craft
>That switchup on the hanger music
>AC7 is AC4>AC8 is AC5>AC8 leads in to setting up AC3So, is the next AC game going to be an AC3 remix or are we going to do 'not 0' first?
Game is overall great but there are way too many escort missions. It feels like 90% of the game.
>>748937462Any time Ace Combat does a scramble while you're on the ground is fucking PEAKACAH and AC7 had some absolutely tight moments where you're on the ground getting the shit bombed out of you
>>748937529I honestly do not need anymore prequels, just let us see modern AC3.
to truly grab the ac3 feel for the next game, they're going to create it entirely with AI
>>748937531Yes, every AC game needs a controversial gameplay change. Baby sitting allies happens to be the one in 8.
>>748937529There are 10 years until 3, that's enough time in Strangereal to fit in like 5 more conflicts before the Intercorporate War
>>748937529>in combat landing during mission 28>remade the Chandelier for multiplayerit's going to be a 6 remake
>>748937529AC9 will likely either be another Mercenary game, like AC0, or a prequel for the Yuke vs Sotoa warOr a combination of both...
>>748937732Go dance with the angels mister
>no resultsBros, it's so fucking over.
>>748937765If I don't get Idolmaster skins for my F-22 I'm going to FREAK
>>748937732My game froze up when I landed in 28 so I played it again without landing and blew it. :(
Should I buy the official Thrustmaster controller (PC)?
>>748922960>>748922960>acecombat 8 ost is pure shitI think I will keep replaying the Acecombat3 ost insteadhttps://youtu.be/jeX4kHPCrCI
>>748938304nah, just use a regular controller
>>748938358does it also feature the rumble?
