AC4>AC7>AC0>AC6>AC5>AC8Is How I'd rank them. I dont remember enough about the handheld games or the Air Combat ones and I haven't played 3 yet.
>AC8 LastHow bad is it? Not heard anything about it outside of people pissed off they paywalled AC0 behind it.
>>7489289090 > 4 = 3 > 8 > 6 > X > 7 > 5
>>748928909>8 lastStop being dramatic.
>>748929132I really didn't like it that much. 30 missions is too many. Too many stinkers that will make replaying a drag. Really forgettable music and enemy squadron too. 6 did the big battles thing better.
>>748929084op is shitposting8 has shortcomings but it's solid. imo doesn't quite hit the same peaks as some other titles but i would say it's very consistently good overall
does each mission in ac8 have an enemy ace?
>>748928909it loses 2 points for slow load times and extreme start up times it loses 1 point for basic / terrible / no HOTAS support it loses 1 point for punishing the player with yapping and cutscenes that lack all sex appeal or interesting characters it gets 1 point for visuals it gets 1 point for sound design -4 + 2 on a scale of 5 is a 3 out of 5 game
Assault Horizon was peak. Even 8 admits 7 was a mistake.
>Is it time to run?>NO>guitar kicks inI AM HAVING FUN
8 has the same lows as 5 but doesnt reach the same peaks. A few cool moments like dealer telling you to solo the shadow squadron or the 1000 plane invasion force were neat but 8 in general just didnt hit for me, which sucks because im honourbound to replay the campaign over and over for cheevos
>>748933541Im glad someone else feels the exact same as me. Godspeed anon. I'm not sure I'll get all cheevos but I'm gonna atleast replay on ace.
Anyone beat the game yet? How many missions are there?
>>74893500030
>new is le badI sleep
>>748929712Thankfully they dont talk much in this game, AC7 was like a 4chan chat room, like 9 mf yapping at the same time
S+ TIER : 4S TIER: 5, 0A TIER: 7, 8B TIER: 3, assault horizon 3dsC Tier: 6D tier: ASS Horizon pcAC 8 core gameplay is fun. The rest of the package is all good but not as iconic as the previous titles.How the story is presented, AC4 is still unmatched, through the eyes of an orphan who buddys up your rival squadron is so much more kino and better than through schizophrenic delusion of your pilot.How your ACE is a symbol lorewise, Demon of razgriz has so much more as the zoomers say more aura than the hand of hope.Music? I still listen to 0, 4 and 7 regularly.How the caracthers and villains are fleshed out? Yo buddy, do I need to say more? Superweapons even felt less threatening.Anyway, this is still my goty.Haven't touched the online, not really interested but I will.
Probably the most woke Ace Combat so far. 3/10
>>748928909Too early to say, but I am three missions in and I fucking love it.
No AC game is average desu, they're all goodS: 04, 5, 0, X, 7 (w/dlc), 8 from what I've playedA: 6, JA, PWB: AHHaven't played the others
Of what I've played:AC8>AC3>AC0>AC5>AC4>AC7
>>748931451Wait until you get to “see, I told you that this was a terrible plan.” >NO
Genuinely how much of a fucking faggot can OP possibly be
Holy shit someone tell me there's a fix to the game constantly moving to other monitor screens this is fucking retarded.
>>748929084It's Assault Horizon 2
>>7489362266 is at the very least on par with 7. DLC is better though
Obviously everybody talks about the Dynamic music but the Dynamic dialogue of AC8 is pretty thorough, I played the desert mission 7 a few times and there really are quite a bit of unique dialogue depending on which order of objectives you pick
>>748936965Youve got the magic ray!More like lapdogs for sotoaOur economy relies on mercenaries like us!
>>748928909you've never played them.ac8 is top 3, possibly best.
>>748928909I really don't get why people are putting 4 so high, it's mid as fuck
>>748936860assault horizon doesn't even take place in the same world, has auto dogfighting, was written by a westerner, and has a lame "superweapon"
>>748935238it's cause they could move the yapping to the actual cutscenes this time
>>748938785this. The jet flaps were sluggish, the music wasn't that good, the storytelling was some kid glazing the enemy squad through art piece visuals. Also the "hero" jet was a F4 phantom
>>7489289090>5>4>8>6>7>AH
>>748929084It's good. A little bloated because of the 30 missions thing but it's fun enough.It doesn't really have "this shit is amazing" peaks like some other AC games but it's consistently good. A solid entry.
Does using the wingman commands actually do anything substantial enough to notice that your wingmen actually did something?
>>748928909>no PS1 era ACsholy larp
>>748939041SP weapons command does make a difference cause they actually blow shit up when it's active and that saved my ass a few times ngl
>>748928909I bought this game but i cannot play it because my PC is apparently shit for the current games, i am sad about it.
>>748939041yes, functions are good.for ex: cover will have wingman launching flares on your behalf.
0 > 8 > 4 > 6 > 5 > 7I like them all to varying degrees though
>>748936965>fly through the thing>Cope and Tasha both sperg out about it, probably everyone else too>do it again>Tasha: he’s doing it again aaaaaaaiiiiiieeeeeeKino.
>>748939168It's crazy people are good faith ranking it among the trinity. Maybe good things still can happen.
>Ohhhhohhhhhohhhh ohhhaooo ohhaooo
>>748939068if you've played 3 then you're in the top 1% of AC fans, if you've played 1 or 2 then you're the 0.1%. Nobody does that bro it ain't a larp, the sheer fact he has 6 in there puts him way up there somewhere already.
Felt like a downgrade compared to 7, 7 feels more rounded and complete.
>>748939345Full disclosure I'm one of those people who have always disliked the 'holy trinity' thing since I don't think 5 is on the same level as 4 or 0. Though I guess it is ironic since if there's any game that 8 is similar to it's 5.
>>748939345It feels like it's taken every good thing from every past game and put it all in one title. I legitimately think it's PA at their absolute peak
>lets make a battleship that can swim, go over land and fly and is also impervious to any and all damage why can't we just do that irl
OMG ALL MY FRIENDS SHOWED UP IN MY TIME OF NEED AND SOME FORMER ENEMIES TOOI LITERALLY CLAPPED LIKE WHEN I SAW CAPTAIN GOY AND THE SLOPS
>>748939492We lack the grit, audacity, and sheer will that the people of Strangereal have.I bet our airplanes don’t even have RAILGUN WARNINGS.
>>748939536this but unironically actually
>>748939492We have the one thing AC pilots don't have, BVR missiles
>>748939536Yes, based MoleGODS showing up to send S*t*ans straight to hell was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.
>>748939536>Things anon will never experience

God tier: 0, 4, 2Great tier: 7, XGood tier: 5, X2Stale tier: Air combatToo long ago tier: USA AC3Did not play tier: 6, Assault Horizon, JPN 3, InfinityAm i the only one oldfag enough to have played 2 here? 8 is running like absolute ass so i'm taking a break.
>tfw 3060 and playing on low to prevent any framedropsIt's over for meI'm not spending $1k on a 50xx series card
>>748939656i played the one you put in stale tier
>>748939701cutscenes are really hard on the FPS but the actual game is pretty smooth I'd say
AC8 definitely last i don't there's much of a future for the series since it's been coopted by woke
>>748939701Ive got a 3060 mobile/laptop and played through the whole campaign on low with performance dlss at 1080p 60fps which only like 2 tiny hitches and the game still looked better than 7, or atleast on parI do have 32gb of ram doebeit
>>748939723I mean it's not "Bad", it's just kinda stale. It can be forgiven as a first attempt and a home version of an arcade game, but it's outclassed by 2.4 is a remake of 2 in the same way Metal Gear Solid is a remake of Metal Gear.
>>748939753tf does that even mean bro
>10 years after ACX>no Cariburn, Fregata, or ForneusOoga booga where da COFFINS at???
>>748939656I started with 5, then 0, then 6. Emulated 4 around the time AC7 launched I think. And of course played 7/8I honestly put 8 up there as one of their best
>>748939701I have a 3090ti with an I9 1300K and 32gb of ram and this game has a gigantic fucking ram leak. It starts chugging after the 2nd consecutive mission, and around halfway into a third, it's unplayable. Input lag becomes so bad you can't manuver, you doublefire missles, you can't even pause the game.REALLY hoping they fix it.
>>748939345I've always hated the "holy trinity" shit because 5 is a plain bad game.
>Mission fighting the two bombers with heavy electronic countermeasures>Stick to them the entire time pumping them full of machinegun fire as well as missiles >Eventually they nosebomb into the allied ships, destroying them and failing the missionHuh? What was I supposed to do??? There's no way I didn't do enough damage surely
>>748939794What's so confusing
>Belka doesn’t even appear or do anything >still get hit by a WMD by corpojewsMaybe Osea should’ve been burned to the ground after all…
>>7489393965 is better than 4 and 0 though
Coster...>>748928909I'm still midway through but it's up there honestly.For me it's AC8 > AC0 > AC5 = AC 7 > AC 4
>>748939821I miss them tooI pray they get added later
>>748940021it's woke because they have a civvie pilot with pink hair?and y'all niggas seriously be saying the lefties are the sensitive snowflakes?
that didn't last long
>>748940041It really isn't.
>>748940041no it's not
>>748940018When they release the swarm drone and have the laser CIWS up it stops a lot of your missiles so you need to focus on getting rid of those first.
>>748940041it's better than 4 but not 0
>>748939905CAN YOU TAKE IT ALL AWAYYYYYWHEN YOU SHOVED IT IN MY FAAAACEETHIS PAIN YOU GAVE TO MEEEEEEEE5 just had too many gimmick missions but it was fun. And that's because 4 was basically all just score attack missions.
I liked Project Wingman more than most of the PS2 games
>/v/ antiwoke chuds still seething Lmao you lost.
>>748940248they walked so PW could fly still think 0 is peak tho, there's just nothing like that last mission out there
fly? more like PW is rowing their boat at the ganges
>>748928909AC7 > AC8 > AC5 > AC6 > AC4 > AC0 > ACAHL > ACAHHaven't played 3 but I would probably put it between 6 and 4. The reason for my ranking is the games as a whole. So in some the music is weak, or the gameplay is boring, or the visuals are great but something else is off, etc.
>>7489289098 literally just came out today you people are a joke
>>748940248I don't get what people like about PW so much
>>748940303I do agree that 0 is probably still ace combat's best.It's probably unfair to compare a modern game to ones that are over 2 decades old. But for a game made by like 2 people PW is very fun
Objectively both 7 and 8 are better than ps2 titles since they have better plane feel and gameplay.
>>748940354>Shit literally just came out of my ass today you people are a jokeKys. It was pretty obvious that this game would of be dogshit ruined by foids and n***ers. Everyone was saying this and we were right
>>748939597But Strangereal has BVR superweapons everywhere. Every continent has at least 2 countries with them.
>>7489402195 is honestly kind of weirdly carried by Blurry. The intro video that spoils the entire plot will never not be kino as fuck. The part with the cruise missile headed for the ship and the CWIS going always gets me.
>>748940371I thought it was just okay until I played the DLC, the DLC genuinely elevates that game quite a lot (and recontextualizes as few things that makes me appreciate the base game more).
>>748940202You're out of your mind.
>>748940490That and Chopper
>>748940445>Add cute girls>Faggot seetheslmao fucking idiot
>>748940505nah, 4 is overrated

Eyes built for blowjobs.
>>748940643>He doesn't know how to QAAM
>>748940041It's definitely better than 4, at least.
>>748939597BVR missiles actually show up in AC8along with the B2
>>748940764Those were the only ones don’t. But they still feel like shit in comparison to the retarded ones from the PS2 games that’d turn 180 degrees and still hit.
Meh, it's okay. There's no stand out moments beyond fighting a crippled woman who can barely move.There's zero replayability and literally none of your choices matter in the slightest. They ask you to do something and if you say no they just go "heh" and then act like you said yes.
>>748940181That hadn't done that on my first attempt at the mission. Guessing it bugged out somehow and skipped an event trigger.
>>7489289094>0>3JP>7>5>8>6>3NA>power gap the distance between pluto and the sun>AHThough I will say, the start of ACES in AC5 was better than any other single moment in the franchise.
>>748941004I was really hoping there would be a mercenary ending but nope
>>748941042There's no cutscene, they just show up and AWACs comments on it

>>748941160Probably watching the news in Osea wondering why the fuck his phone isn't blowing upDD says Osea and Yuktobania getting dragged into the war was the original plan that Joker fucks up by being too good at his job

>>748941634at least we got Mihaly's granddaughters too, that was something
>>748941558JA’s plot being a scheme to commit insurance fraud was pretty funny.

>>748936860I'll now play your game
>>748936860Press A to handshake
Damn, i think i might actually be too retarded for this genre.I just played Project Wingman for an hour as my first flying game, was completely stumped at regular controls to the point i couldn't even turn, and fumbled with Novice controls so bad i think i spent 90% of a mission upside down before dying because i hit an enemy plane as it was going down.
>>748941706> >NO
>>748941843We all start like that buddyThe skies are yours to explore
>>748941881WHY AREN'T THEY RUNNINGTHEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE RETREATING
>in-engine cutscene playing>I'm just praying that UE5 doesn't just decide to crash on meOther than this huge damper, it's 10/10 so far for me.
>>748941843https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbGgAz5HYvcThis video uses AC6 as a base but the controls are virtually identical to 7, 8 and PW. It should help you out, especially if you go into free flight and just try flying around without the pressure of needing to kill stuff.
>>7489411454 is assault horizon tier
Imagine the wheelchair handjobs…
>>748941843Get some time in free flight, turn on expert controls (Ignore the name, they're just the better way to play the game)Just fly around, get used to how things move. Ace Combat always sends you up against some basic bombers that fly in straight lines at you as the first mission for a reason.They're fun games, don't let the controls stop you
>>748939701>UNREAL ENGINEwell theres your probelm
I love her
>mission 10>just open sea and clouds>almost no enemies>really bad 1% lowsI'm blaming the rain effect. Every other mission runs fine.
>>748928909Last because this is the most woke AC game.
>Mission 29 >stops talking and real fight begins>immediately flies into meRude.
I have never flown an SU in an ace combat game
>>748942792You're missing out, Sukhoi always made the coolest jets
>>748942739>48k concurrent players despite being ultrawoke>more popular than any AC game before itWell well well. What happened to go woke to broke? Chud grifters on suicide watch
>Took out so many planes on mission 28 I had to resupply three times before the Shadows showed up>On top of all the machine gun kills on the slow moving bombers at the start of the mission>Never seen a score so high in one of these games>Get a BWhat the fuck did the game want from me
Woke trash.
>>748928909positives:-it plays like ace combat should. no bullshit like dogfight mode etc-missions have been interesting so far and I'm just 6 missions into the game-performance isn't as bad as I thought, haven't even crashed once and I played 6 missions straightmeh:-pointless QTE cutscenes that you can skip in future playthroughs thankfully. but even in first playthrough it's like really I have to press x to shake hands?-AWACS guy sounds mad gay at timesnegatives:-online seems like total GaaS hellscape. the gameplay is enjoyable but everything else requires constant dodging of multicurrency urges and forced engagement.I would put it 4th or even 3rd best so far at least during the honeymoon period. doing the campaign on ace will definitely either put it lower or higher later on.
HALP /V/I alt f4'd during character creation cause I got busy and now whenever I load into Ace Combat Online I get a loading screen then the menu and music loads in (I can hear the menu movement sounds) but the screen is stuck with the loading screen like pic related. I already tried verifying game files. Please don't tell me I have to reinstall this bitch.
>>748943315nvm fix'd it
I'm on mission 18 so far, and while I think it's overall higher than 7, its highs (Mission wise) don't meet 7's highs. Then again I might just be a whore for a good score mission.
>>748943247>no dfm>only 6 missions on
>>748942869Only 48? It’s over Bandai spent a fortune on YouTubers to shill this slip. Project wingman won.
What's the best machinegun plane in AC8? It's been too long since I played 7 so I can't remember which ship it was that I had fun with the MGP on.
>>748943506fishbed-chan
>>748943506Warthog obviously
>>748943315There's character creation? I thought you played as Silent McProtagonist Man
>>748943545it's for the online lobby so that they can put pointless cosmetics in lootboxes.
>>748943545In online
I just ended up buying the Thrustmaster Neo. Im too lazy to program the controls onto my Logitech G Extreme. I NEED the rumble function.
Might as well just turn off the missile warning in some of these missions.There’s so many SAMs and fighters that someone is going to have a lock on you until you murder all of them.
>>748943569I'm more interested in the plane art you can get.
I hate the XO.

>>748941145>Ocarina of Time is the best game ever made forever, it was revolutionary!Shut the fuck up. Glazing a game for what it introduced to the formula id irelevent. Putting 4 on a pedestal doesn't make you a true fan to a series, it's not a requirement. 4 is good, but time moves on and it's showing it's age, so it's fine for people to not rate it as high.
>>748928909I've never played any of these games, but I'm kinda curious to try one out, most likely Ace Combat 7, if it goes on a good sale in the future. However, I've watched some gameplay and I can't help to feel like the game looks extremely repetitive, which I feel could get really boring real fast, unless you are a huge fan airplanes and this genre.Anyone here who doesn't play a lot of flying games and thoroughly enjoyed it, while not getting bored shooting down enemy planes every single mission?
>>748943810Y-yeah, me neither. Haha
>>748943810Galaga IS canon...
/v/ squadron when
is there a chance they port the other games
>>748943936I haven't played these type of games in a while. I get a rush from flying around and taking someone out. I think its the same for people into racing games.
New Scrap Queen appears! The airfield is packed with cuties.
>>748943936Just emulate one of the PS2 games, doesn't really matter which one, and give it an hour. Don't skip any cutscenes or anything, try to get immersed. If it doesn't do anything for you you probably won't like any of the others.AC is genuinely much more about vibes than anything, the gameplay's pretty straightforward if you're only looking at the fundamentals of it, it's just that the games are incredible at creating context around how fucking cool airplanes are. You'll never get it from watching a video of someone else playing, you just have to experience it.
>>748943936They keep it fresh with different types of missions, settings, and introducing giant fuck you objects you need to destroy ranging from city-sized howitzers to space station cannons and droneships. They do this while also having kinocringe dialogue about dancing with the angels and fighting for a world without borders that the actors all sell with full seriousness. Together with the series' amazing sound direction and it's hard not to want to play more.
>>748928909I like it, but it has such a small selection of jets. No Su-30, no YF-23, no F-15SE even though they have every other variants, no KF-21, no Chinese jets. It's kinda disappointing in that regard>>748943247>no bullshit like dogfight modeYou're literally forced to enter a form of dogfight mode in Retaking of Theve II. Found out the hard way when the game gave me a Game Over because i didn't activate it
>>748944232This. Emulate 4 right fucking now and have some funI still remember playing it for the first time along with the rest of the trinity to prep for 7.>That moment when you down your first Yellow.
>>748944350>You're literally forced to enter a form of dogfight mode in Retaking of Theve II. Found out the hard way when the game gave me a Game Over because i didn't activate itPlease tell me that only happens that one time. Took me out of the entire fucking moment.
>Wingmen actually shooting down ShadowsYou love to see it
>>748944139Yeah, the game definitely looks amazing. The devs really seem to have gone all the way to capture as close to a real fighter jet simulator. The detail is really amazing, and one of the main reasons I want to give it a try.>>748944232The story does seem be another big focus when it comes to these games. I'm not much of a story gamer to be honest. But if the writing is good and it draws me in. Then that's another plus though.>>748944315I've watched some gameplay, but trying not to watch too much, as I don't want to spoil much of the game. But I'm glad to hear that there seems to be more variations in the game, and not just shooting down planes and battleships.I'll probably pick up AC7 on a sale down the road. If it's a good sale, it won't feel to bad if it turns out to not be my cup of tea.Thanks for the input everyone!
>>748944381No, those are my kills and how dare they steal them.
>>748944430Should've been faster Ray.
>>748944380>Please tell me that only happens that one time.I don't know. I stopped today at Mission 10.Also hoping it's the only one.I ignore most of the Hold Y prompts because it's just to show you events happening and there's better use of my time shooting down enemies than to stare.

>>748945028Yeah there's lots of pure bullshit missions in this game that'll hurt replays.
>>748944926how can we involve Assassin's Creed and Assetto Corsa in this to really confuse the issue
>>748941843 (me)>>748941953I'm backWow, despite the weird british words for things, this video actually helped a lot, i nearly halved my mission time just by learning how to turn efficiently, i still get confused sometimes about where i am, and have trouble when i overextend and end up having to do a full turn because i missed one target, but i actually understand what i'm doing now!Thanks a lot man.
>>748945219Project Wingman doesn't have it but in Ace Combat 7 and 8 you can press both yaw buttons (either R1L1 or R2L2 depending on how you map it) to automatically level your plane out (the right way up). Also holding triangle (or y if you're using an xbox controller) when you have an enemy locked onto will help you more efficiently turn around it.
>>748945219I played a lot of ace combat games and I still crash into the land from time to time as I get hyperfixated on something and forget to look at my altitude. It's especially bad in sea missions.
>>748928909AC0>AC8>AC3>AC4>AC7>AC5Haven't played the others. Just finished 8 a few minutes ago. It's really good but Zero's knights and mercenaries theme is just too kino to ever be topped.
mission 15 wasn't nearly as hard as everyone claimed this whole week, probably anons playing AC for the first time and using simplified controls instead of standard

>>748945434I didn't even realize that thing had 6 engines, jesus christ
Comforting Tasha after she is upset after her first kill Casino Royale style
>>748928909Why is Coster such a fucking loser?
>>748929712>slow load times and extreme start up timesIt was very quick for me but I have it installed on an NVME drive. The overall performance was very disappointing but hey it's unreal engine 5 and it is a pretty game.
>>748945443>IBSFLAFJ
I liked mission 30
>>748936806I can't remember the last time a game made me feel that kind of rush. Moon 11 was right, Wings is a complete animal in the sky and I love it.
>>748945549It was good, but kind of disappointing coming after 28.
>>748929084The only thing I can say about it is that it is better than 7.
>>748945443>>>/wsg/6245720
>>748945434it's actually possible to skip the laser CIWS spam phase entirely if you spread damage across the engines before going for the killdid it on accident my second tryalso swing wing super-B70 with Pye Wackets might be the most mil-pervert concept possible for an Ace Combat boss, somebody at ACES must jerk off to Janes manuals to have come up with that one>>748945549it's just AC7 DLC but not as good after a run of like 10 completely insane missions in a row, not terrible but sort of a letdown overallwish they had gone with any other superweapon instead of a sub just to avoid the comparison entirely
>>748943936Do yourself a favor and don't skip out on 6. There's a good recomp that's been put out that you can set up pretty easily to play it on PC. It get snubbed a lot because diehard lifelong snoyfags were anally eviscerated that it was an xbawks exclusive. It's story is on the weaker side but it has some of the best gameplay of the entire series.
>country of nomads turned industrial>Colonel "Toprak", literally Colonel DirtAre Sotoans strangereal turks?
>>748929084Really badToo many escort missions and "wait for dialogue to end" momentsNo tunnel runBoring cinematics followed by boring missions Boring final mission
>>748945697i have the armor upgrade so i simply tanked all that shit
>>748945549Yeah it's small scale but a fine way to wrap up, like a lot of last missions it's more of a victory lap than anything elseIt gets a little too saccharine for my tastes but maybe I'm too jaded, though it's almost kind of cruel given the inevitable Electrosphere route the world is taking
>>748945656>That musicDoesn't feel right watching cool fighter jets with shit music playing in the background after just playing AC
>>748945443Why do europeans love doritos so much?
>>748945725>picI don't get it
Overall I love the way planes feel in this game and I think Project Aces finally gave them the proper weight to actually feel like heavy war machines without going into simulator autism, but damn the F-4 is miserable to fly now. It's takes 10 years to roll and the new parts system raped any chance of fixing it with upgrades.
>>748945819https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXBkfs9koyI
The A10 is so fucking stiff in this game, it actually feels like a flying tank
>>748945873
>>748945782It's an iykyk situation, don't worry about it. Trust me it's very funny.
Character models don't look great, it just makes me think of MGSV and whatever voodoo they put in FOX Engine 10 years ago. Planes and environments look amazing though.
>>748945721>It's story is on the weaker side6 has exactly one (1) cutscene worth watching in the entire runtimehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZb2JpoO-CQat least it's a really good one
Can't you scumbags make a vidya thread without putting bait in the OP anymore?This game is probably my favourite next to AC0 and AC3 (JP). I love how the aircrafts sound and feel. The story is pretty nice too.It's my GOTY for this year.
>>748945838The idea that higher-tier planes get more parts slots seems incredibly backwards to me, shouldn't that system exist to keep earlier planes relevant deeper into the tree? Hopefully it'll get fixed with mods at some point.
>>748945949You're right but I also like the intro to the Chandelier and the "Gracemeria, dead ahead!" cutscenes.
>playing on linux>launch game and UE5 bitches about DX12 AMD drivers not being installed, which don't even exist on linux>thankfully I can just click ignore and the game launches just fine>the ONLY errors I got were during the godawful EA-6B missionThis mission made my game crash once, consistently froze on every playthrough until I closed firefox, and all the audio cut off halfway through every single time. I have no idea what Baxter was saying because his lines got mixed up with other parts of the game and then he just stopped talking altogether. Weird that this only happens on this particular mission but thank god it didn't happen on any of the good missions.
>>748945949<< It's like waiting in line for the restroom! >>
>>748945697>wish they had gone with any other superweaponSinking Sotoa itself?
>>748945949Nah you can't take "All planes! We're going to take back Gracemeria today!" from me
>>748946158>playing on linuxI literally only use linux for neurosci and personal server work, I cannot comprehend why someone would subject themselves to it for leisure
The literal ghost talking in your head for the entire game was real fucking stupid
>>748946252No way I love my schizo voices
>>748946224And I only use Windows at work and can't comprehend why someone would subject themselves to it for leisure.
>>748946252I wish it was my energy wife Ayre.
>>748946252It was kino and if one of you idiots say this shit again I will fucking kill you with hammers
>>748946252It's to set up the fact that you can upload your brain to the Electrosphere but not your soul
Kate's voice gave me an erection every time she opened her mouth so I was so fucking happy when she joined Joker squadron. Then the nigger dies and she takes his spot. I bought her an F-22 so she can fly free through the skies with me.
>>748928909I'm so fucking tired of you "mommy bought me AC4 with my PS2!" fags overrated as fuck and the worst of the ps2 trilogy. Fuck points based missions.l and fuck arcade obsessed fags who want that shit. AC8>AC5>AC0>AC4>AC7>ACX>AC3>AC2>ACAHL>AC
Wokeslop with a story that makes no sense.
>>748946359no I'm pretty sure they just played cyberpunk 6 years ago exactly like every other studio that is doing the exact same thing in every game
>>748946387>ACX, AC7 and AC3 below AC4AC4 is so fucking boring. I was expecting kino when I launched it up a few weeks ago and it's just unbearably boring.
>>748940041It's much better than 4 but 0 is debatable. 5 has similar highs but some stinker missions. That said, it also has a ton of aircrafts, a huge plane roster and it pioneered modern AC storytelling.
>>748940092>"Heh, games are woke because they make all the women ugly on purpose">a AAA game FINALLY has an attractive and barely legal female>"AAAAH NO NOT LIKE THAT SAVE ME NIGGERMAN!"
>>748945817Boeings Trump carrier jet has dorito wings and canard too tho?
>>748946502Tasha is jailbait? Nice.
Where do I find my AC Zero? Do I need to launch it from inside the AC8 game or something?
>>748946471Why did PA waste their time travel powers ripping off Cyberpunk to make a game in 1999?
>>748946558When you launch it on steam you should get "Launch 8" and "Launch 0" buttons
>>748946558launch options
>>74894647204 is boring as fuck and has quite a few bad missions but it has some nice furballs. Comona carries that game hard. ACX is 4 but smaller and AC7 has too many annoying gimmicks and I the missile spam.
>>748946508>>748945817The flying dorito is primarily an american invention.
My index finger hurts from holding the throttle in Mission 15
>>748928909I only like ac3
>>748941634They should've done a callback to AC5 and AC7 at the same time by having cardboard dog bark at you during the elevator mission, and you have to answer Yes or No on the right prompts to spawn the ace by making cardboard dog happy.
>>748940275Your falseflag never worked, buddy.
>>748946582>>748946594Oh, thanks. I've been launching it through the desktop icon so I completely missed it.
>>748946252I loved the ideia of having the narrator be a literal ghost haunting you and talking about how cool you are
>>748946667There is an exe for it in the install folder too, you could make a desktop shortcut for it
>>748946603Hardly, we designed and prototyped a few, but Europe really ran wild with it. Every Ssab jet, the Mirage, and the Typhoon are true doritos.
>>748946295Because Windows just werks for any game under the sun. It is the perfect leisure OS.
>>748942739>>748942869You're talking to yourself.
>FCU using AI for propagandaI hate this timeline.
>>748941634Nah, it was great. The final shot of AC7 is her doing the "hand to the sky". Felt perfect to have her back in this one. I also love how her first words in this are the lsst words of AC7: "Can you hear me?"
>>748946695That's true, tho iirc you guys(and the leaf people) tried it first, it just never worked or ended up being too expensive.
>>748936226When's the last time you played 6, if you ever did? It's at least A tier and maybe even S.>inb4 "I tried to emulate it"
>>748946695dorito good for air superiority fighters. Leave the ground bombing to Americans with their pig ugly fighters like F-15.
>Next game in the timeline is about how you can copy someone's memories to the web, but not their soul>Have this game be about a guy haunted by someone's soul struggling to regain it's memoriesLike pottery, it rhymes
Now that I think about it, Trigger probably gets pegged by Avril.
Shadow Squadrons announcing their arrival on open channels is silly and fun.
>>748946727>has to use AI because their best pilot won't shoot down enemy planes>lose that guy>inmediately get an even better pilot with an insatiable bloodlust and a lacking moral center beyond the concepts of friendship and Us vs Them
>>748946853Only aces get to do tunnel runs
Osea could have steamrolled Erusea back in AC7 if they decided to get off their asses and move the majority of their forces to Usea instead of relying on stationed (peacekeepers), right?
>>748940353>Haven't played 3 but I would probably put it between 6 and 4.Holy shit. I have never seen someone so blatantly appeal to the in-group by parroting consensus before. I'd respect you more if you'd just written the game off for looking like shit, because that'd at least be an opinion.
>>748940092>doesn't even get the snowflake right
putting 7 above anything is just wrong.
>>748946878Yeah, ISAF were basically just a proxy force. If they went all in then it might've provoked a response from Yuktobania which is something this game brings up.
>when fighter pilots die they get to go to a special heaven just for them and nobody elseThis is so fucking stupid and exactly why I love Ace Combat.
>>748946902Assault Horizon?Ace Combat Advance?Air Combat?
>>748946878Osea's military industrial complex theoretically should be insane but considering they vote in guys like Harling they might be more lax about it than we expectThen again, their cops carry anti-materiel rifles casually, maybe it's just not a giant worth awakening
>>748928909I'm playing AC5 right now. I'm getting owned really hard after taking a break for a few days.
>>748946917And they probly needed a lot of soldiers to keep their shitty federation intact. Seems like most countries in it seceded pretty fucking fast after Osea invaded.
>>748946902when will you contrarians die
I sort of love how violent Moon 11's death is. Even if she wasn't in control of the spears and wasn't responsible for their usage in civilian areas, she was still 100% ok with using them to reach her promised land
>>748946960You have to learn how to use every missile and bullet you've got effectively, because some missions will test you on itGood luck anon, I'm fond of 5
>>748946853Do you think he takes it all in three strokes?
Man, i keep forgetting thar the shit in front of my screen is not a target and missing niggas with my guns.
It's fucking crazy how good this entry is. It's how I remember ace combat feeling.
>>748945731>No tunnel runIs that even AC anymore?Even knock-off AC (wingman) had some (albeit optional)
>>748946945doesn't count
>>748947064There are a few optional tunnels in 8 and one very short one at the very end, which has a whole bunch of Fleet Destruction-esque platforms to fly through beforehandThat anon is full of crap, though I am hoping like with PW that there'll be a proper tunnel run in the DLC
When I heard 1000 BOGEYS I knew I was playing the best game in the series. Incredible game
>turn on the english dub just to see how it is>hear Cope>instead of sounding badass and mature, he sounds sarcastic and tired
literally none of you bought this gamethere is 0 media from the game in this threadand the media there is is fucking 80yo roms
>>748943936Thinking Ace Combat is repetitive because you're just shooting planes is like saying all platformers are repetitive because you're just jumping, all FPS are repetitive because you're just shooting guns, all racing games are repetitive because you're just driving, etc. The reality is, games are as repetitive or exciting as you play them. Sure you could fly in circles all day waiting for enemies to pass through your reticle and fire a missile, or you can juke someone on your tail with a post-stall maneuver then chase them down with guns. If lobbing missiles gets boring you can aim unguided bombs onto aircraft. Take a calculated risk by jousting with an incoming enemy rather than getting behind them. Even basic flight maneuvers like Immelmann turns, yo-yos, barrel rolls (not the Starfox kind), and scissors make dogfighting very engaging and interesting, especially while keeping track of the dozen missiles coming for your ass at any given time.
>>748947242>playing Ace Combat in jp
>>748947286>being a 9 year old who doesn't know any better
>>748947264
>>748947309I tried Ace Combat 7 in JP when I wanted to get into the series and I immediately wanted to kill myself. You don't play this shit in JP.
>>748947264I counted at least 14 screenshots and a fair few pictures of Tasha and other things from 8
>>748947264I don't want to go through ffmpeg to make random webms of gameplay like a fucking marketeer
>>748947286>I love to hear Debra Wilson in every briefing

>>748947264when that stupid bitch asked me to shepard her people the only thing i want to shepard them towards is nuclear annihilationwhere's a belkan when you need oneroundhouse kick sotoan babies into trashcans
>>748947242Most of them are good in english but yeah the XO and Cope are both completely different people in japanese and way fucking better.
>>748946387Score attack missions can be good but not when its every other mission. 4 also doesn't bring enough targets and the reinforcement waves too slow and tiny. The last few minutes of every SA mission in 4 always ended up with me flying in circles waiting for targets to spawn.It's still a great game but I do agree people overrate the fuck out of it.
>>748943346>same shit as >dming you the fix. actually worse than nigger behavior
>>748947386This is only the second ever game I've played with her in it, the other being Jedi Survivor so I'm fine with it.
the meatriding is crazy
>>748947386Her voice acting is fine.The problem has always been with developers face scanning her ugly bald head into everything.
>>748947450All of them are fucking awful in english apart from like a handful of characters. D.D. sounds like he's in his early 20s. XO is constantly angry. Cope sounds fucking retarded in comparison to the original. Tasha too.
Haven't beaten 8 yet but it's fucked up how the prologue is complete bullshot bullshit with how good it looks and then you get to the actual missions and they don't look that much better than AC7.
Flying battleships with giant triple railgun main guns are maximum YAMATO DAMASHII
Is there a rip of the soundtrack somewhere? I really want to listen to it but don't want to wait for an official release.
>>748928909Debra isn't as bad as I thought Pinky is fucking annoying Little Bee is really hotThat's my thoughts
>>748947646I think Zaptroxix has a playlist on youtube
>>748947721Mostly good takes.I don't think Pinky is too annoying though, she's just there.
>nobody talking about how good guns feel in 8I don't know how to describe it but they feel good to use for the first time in the series. I've been going for gun kills more often than missiles because it's so satisfying to nail someone with some BRRRRT.
>>748946819The F-15 is utilitarian in form and function. It LOOKS like a fighter jet, and I'd go so far as to say it's the most fighter jet looking fighter ever to jet. Only the F-16 comes close.
>>748941605>Engage the Shadows on your own>It's a bad plan right><<<NO>>>
>>748947825><<<YES>>> but immediately charging them anyway
>>748947749She just yaps a lotShould've stayed gone for at least a few missions after the retaking of Theve's nuts
>>748947424>the originalThe english "dub" is the original here. Lip sync and all
So do you guys think megacorps will be the new status quo for the setting or will they get taken down in one game before things go back to usual?
>>748947570Cope's VA is kino in english
>Mobius One is Mobius One>Blaze... exists>Cypher's personality depends on your playstyle>Trigger is a crazy adrenaline junkie daredevil>Rex is the bloodthirsty Lu Bu of the skiesTrigger and Rex having personalities despite being mute player self-inserts is probably some vidya narrative victory of sorts.
>>748939905I fucking hate dialogue qucktime events while I'm trying to play ace combat. I don't want to take my thumb off the stick so I can hit the dpad I want to fly jets.
>>748928909I always thought you needed a flight stick for these so I never played them. Are they mission only like that GameCube Star Wars game?
>>748941145They're recents. They don't know.
>>748940515>dude where do I crash?>not the river >lemme smash the stadiumChopper was a retard
>>748948103Most games barely support flight sticks. They are designed for controllersAnd yeah it's missions only, pretty much
So other countries were just totally fine with Sotoa putting WMD's in space?
>>748947424He >>748947943 is correct. The slight cringe of the English VA is crucial for the poorly translated 90s Macross/Area 88 video rental vibe.
>>748948149Is 4 on steam? Cruising for a new game right now.
>>748945838F-4 was always a flying brick, but boy could it haul ass. It was intended to be an interceptor, but it's engines were so powerful and it could store so much fuel that it easily filled the role of a bomber, too.
>>748948202Get AC7 on a cdkey site or something. It's usually like 5 bucks.Otherwise you have to go with PCSX2
>>748948202Gotta emulate. Older ace combats have not been ported because of the western aircraft licensing.
>>748948153there's no way Strangereal has any kind of strategic arms limitation treaties, people are cranking out gigantic city killer superweapons armed with with not-technically-nuke equivalents every couple yearsRods from God probably barely raised any eyebrows at the UN
>>748948243>>748948275Right, cheers anons. Gonna go do that now.
>>748947962Would be a bit anticlimactic to have a bunch of small hints of the series leading to AC3 across the games, even if they are minor, only for it to be for a single new game and then everything goes back to normal after that game.Is it ever mentioned whether corporations have taken over the other continents other than USEA? There's always the option to have games set in those with traditional military air forces if not and games set in USEA with a corpo bounty hunter system
Wish they added a western equivalent of SU-34. The bombs on it with upgrades break everything with two shots and you get like 30 of them.
>>748945549if the first 10 minutes wasn't just yapping and shooting down cruise missiles i'd like it much more

I love this game and I love project aces.I hope this game breaks records for bamco so we get AC9 faster than 7 years
>>748948013it's because they have the most developed responses to the shit they doas the player sure you can do whatever crazy nonsense you want, but other characters actually reacting to it believably (i.e. calling you a maniac) is what makes it "real"
Where's my 24 lock micro missiles?
>>748948168>90s MacrossYou mean the one that is also originally in japanese?
>>748946878As a stand-in for America, it goes without saying that Osea is the top dog superpower of Strangereal.

I am genuinely unsure if the Savians are supposed to be a less naming convention for people from Sapin (Sapinese?) or if this is just another unrelated country famous for vaguely spanish coded mercenary pilots that fly Rafales
>>748948776Yes or you don't have space on your root drive
>>748948723there's several points where i want to say No sarcastically
>>748949304Savia is apparently part of Erusea.
No one found it weird that Mongols started pulling out superweapons from their asses? Surely someone was behind them.
>>748948524Read the next four words in that post, you fucknugget.
>>748949395I haven't finished the game yet but i'm assuming eventually one of these missions someone is gonna mention the goddamn Belkans supplied them the weapons again
>>748948476Really would not mind if they just reuse all these assets for AC9 with how good everything looks already just to get the next game sooner
>>748941160Retired, I like to think that every Ace, once the war is over hangs up the mantle and starts a happy family somewhere, while still flying for fun privately, instead of war.
>>748947962Megacorps ruling the world was already a thing in electrosphere
>>748947264>there is 0 media from the game in this threadI'd draw smut of AC8 if there was a loli pilot, but there isn't so I'm not.
>>748949395That's just Tuesday in Strangereal. About as silly as the invaders buying more railgun shells from your occupied capital. From the company who is also the main supplier of your defense.
>>748949395Any country can pull superweapons out of their ass if ignored long enoughNordennavic gives their pilots Ark Birds for fun
>>748949615At some point, one of these countries is just gonna pull a Supreme Commander out of its ass and that's the end of all wars. Alexander wept for there were no more worlds to conquer. That's it. You can't do better than a super duper weapon that shits out super weapons as basic land, air, and sea troops.
Since all that really matters is the combat and missions since you'll be skipping cutscenes after the first time, it's pretty damn good.Now the story is obviously made with ESG bucks since Bandai Namco signed up for that shit. Had to laugh when you defend a bunch of refugees from anti-globalists. A world without borders isn't necessarily a new theme but it was pretty on the nose this time.
>>748946797Nta, but ac6 has wayyy too many operation missions where you have to constantly zoom between point a and point b as the two objectives take turn getting damage, litterally having to babysit, not very fun imo when that makes up 70% of the game. Final mission was pretty good. Story was ass.
>>748949382>is that you ray?>no
>review just says if you like fun to not watch the review and play the gameYeah, I'm thinkin' we're back.
>>748939656>8 is running like absolute assDo you have 16GB ram by any chance? Apparently the game eats a lot of ram so anything with less than 32GB will choke
>>748949849>can you hear me?>no
>>748949395>surely someone was behind themIt's always Belka
>>748949784The megacorps ensure that no war becomes unmanageable. They've managed to keep them not reach works war levels this far.
I think there should've been more cutscenes desu. The Black screens that said what happened in the aftermath of some missions could've had stuff like newsreels slow what happened on the ground.
How do I get better at playing this game, I feel like a fucking game journalist.
>>748949878Leave it to Belka to strike itself to spite the rest of the world.
>>748949506Yeah but they're clearly building up to a game where these megacorps are going to be taken down, the question is if it will take one game or multiple ones. I'm hoping it'll only be one since I want PA to expand on other more interesting things like Nordennavics human cloning experiment.
>>748949907End-game war economics requires AI take up strategic planning and that always ends well.
>>748949856UE5 for you. My game goes over 22gb of ram usage after an hour of gameplay. Goes to normal after restarting. Have had the same problem with Jedi Survivor too so it's definitely UE5 related.
>>748948563I'm a noob to AC, I've only played 7 and 8, the only thing I don't really like about the comms chatter I've heard is how often certain things are repeated.>New bogeys on the map. Are those the Shadows?>cutscene confirms they are the Shadows>I recognize them, that's the Shadows>Dealer do we have permission?>Permission granted for Joker flight to engage the Shadows>Do you recognize that black paint? That's the ShadowsShit like that is relayed one after the other without any pause inbetween. The fact that the comm lines have less than five seconds of downtime between eachother can feel like it becomes a sound wall, but I would mind it less if it wasn't so repetitive. It's like the dialogue is written for people with short-term memory loss, and I assume it isn't an invention of the English dub so the JP dub must be like it as well.
Rex or Trigger?
>>748928909It's like AC7 with massive bloated system requirements, shitter mechanics, and a storyline like BF3 in that one mission where you walk around before getting onto a fighter jet.
>>748950275Trigger's emblem mogs the fuck out of Rex's.
>>748928909Am I crazy or is jousting completely worthless in this game?Feels like if your missile is 1/100 of a degree off aspect it will never land from the front.
>>748950275so far, Rex, because I thought 7 was mid. But >>748950315 is right about the emblem.
>>748950335I've been doing it semi reliably.
>>748950335I play on veteran and rather than jousting, I just spam the fuck out of L2 +R2 to do quick circles and spam missiles or if I end up on their tail, I machine gun them down. Shadows are a bunch of filthy Sotoan niggers who'll fire rockets at you nonstop if you even bother going a straight line for more than a second.
>>748929712>cutscenes that lack all sex appealIt's an arcade flying game, fuck off gooner.
>>748950315The hand emblem is kinda kino
>>748949975it's always (((them)))
Who would win in a fight? Alicorn or Land Battleship?
>>748948153Nothing Stonehenge couldn't handle! As long as that's around it's fine.
>>748950632I would think alicorn because it's actually a submarine and the land battleships are kind of retarded (in a fun way)
>>748948336>>748947962I think it would be cool to go back to being mercenaries next game.
I think it's up there with 5 and 0. It's like AC7 but everything is better, like the game they really wanted to make. The only bad moment in the entire game is the shitty sequence in the village when you're downed together with Baxter. That was some real Call of Duty garbage for no reason.
>>748950764What if land submarines with nuclear launch capabilities[/spoilee]
>>748942930I think it's bugged because the bombers don't give you any points despite being the most important targets in the mission.Just finished the game on expert and that was the only missions I didn't S rank.
>>748949868god there really was a line like that
>>748950808Yeah I hated that shit too. The constant Press X to move was so fucking awful, just make a normal cutscene.
4(nostalgia tier)>0>5>3>8(new game bias, still enjoying it)>7>6>X>AHL>X2>2>1>Infinity>AH>Xi>Advance
>>748950909I'm even more upset we didn't get to walk around the carrier at all between missions, would have been a very cool way to get more character exposition and story if we were allowed to visit the characters inbetween missions.
>>748950808I hate the mission tied to that one as well, because you're forced to go slow. Even on replay you can't pick a faster plane and just blitz it and i get it story wise, but come on.
>>748951174Easiest mission skip of all time. Nothing happens in it.
>>748950808I found it so weird how they never brought up why the fuck the refuelling drones did this, like it happened and they never acknowledge it after wards.>>748951174When I was playing it for the second time, I saw some gaps in the starting area where it looked like you could go through the entire stealth section in seconds, like you could in AC7, but the gaps just close when you get closer to it.
>>748944350>but it has such a small selection of jetsbamco will probably try to sell them as dlc. it's bullshit theres no terminator in the game.
>>748951359They're autonomous AI drones, hence Enso can get into them. You can piece together the rest.
>>7489290848's very good, even challenging the holy trinity. /v/ is just a dogshit place.
>>748951398I mean I know, but like, just weird that they didn't acknowledge that it happened.
>>748928909I have only played AC0 and AC7. AC0 > AC7, it's not even close. AC0 has better story and music and you get fun superplanes. You own a copy of the game and can share or sell it. AC7 has 22 paid DLC and preorder FOMO bullshit. Better graphics and PSM do not make up for everything else being worse.
>>748951314I would love to skip it, but I'm S ranking Ace difficulty.>>748951359That happened to me as well and being speedlocked didn't help. It's like what 600? At least the carrier missions let you play base planes on replay.>>748951392They won't try, they will. Morgan is in the Ace Pass and if you buy it you get it for single player too.
It's certainly no Zero. I've played that one a billion times now. There are things I really like about 8 that I hope I see more of:-The characters were well-written and likeable. They made me care about a nigger, a pink-hair, and made me fall in love with some hag who's clearly in her 30s. Hell, I was even happy to hear from that slant that leads Jackpot in subsequent missions after saving her in Theve. I did wish someone would've kicked that faggot D.D. into Davy Jones' locker though. And that build up to there being a spy onboard the Endurance only to reveal it was some nameless random who has no emotional consequence for the player was pretty weak.-I like the flight model in AC8. It feels like you're piloting a piece of machinery with some heft to it. Feels good.-Squad commands are back, and your team actually does things. Like when Coster is telling you over radio that he's flare/chaffing a missile off your back, that is exactly what is happening.The overall story has been done already in other Ace Combat entries. Aside from a couple standout tracks, the music was forgettable for the most part. Really hope they fix the memory leak issues, and I hope they give us PC players AC Zero as a standalone. Though it's not a dealbreaker for me.
>>748951447Try AC8 then. It's basically a complete upgrade of AC7 in every way.
This fat fucks way too good at ground bombing.
>>748944350A genuine black mark is them cutting the plane catalogue to sell as micro transactions. Fuck that.
>>748940041Yeah, I replayed 0 the other day and it's close, but 5 still takes the cake for me. Its high points are phenomenal. Both are miles above 4 though.
>>748951597Guess what it was designed to do
>>748951497>AC8>preorder and deluxe bullshit>day 1 DLC>only 75% positive>schizo protagNo, fuck this. I want the game to be a financial failure.
AC4 is boring as shit and the only reason you faggots have such a boner for it is that it was babby's first Ace Combat when you got a PS2 for christmas 25 years ago.
One of the biggest problem with AC8 is still that wings of theve is one of the weaker subtitles
>>748951754Hungarian tranny...
>>748951810I think multiple people itt already agreed with that. 5 has issues as well but makes up for it with everything else, and 0 is still the best one, but 8 came shockingly close and deserves praise for that.
>>748948825good list though ac0 would be lower for me
>>748940371PW is basically like a good western but not American work that honors its Japanese inspiration. It has much, much better and less stilted writing.
>>748951841Wings of Theve Nuts
>>748951841Should've called Ace Combat 8: THE TERMINUS FINGERS
having a blast except I'm not using expert controlswish there was a camera lock for expert like in war thunder
What's with all the foid streamers jumping into this game as their first AC? Was there a bigger marketing campaign than usual or something? >they all use the novice controls and constantly talk over all dialogue
>>748951931
>>748951952there's only one foid I trust to play this (and she's playing right now)
>>748951952Don't give them your views dummy.
PLEASE MAKE ACE COMBAT ONLINE AND ZERO STANDALONE WITHOUT THE NEED OF CAMPAIGN.
>>748951882So its for people who hate anime, hate gundam, and hate ace combat, gotcha
>>748952042I'm already getting fed up with Ace Combat Online, because cheating subhuman niggers already found a way to launch Online without Anti-cheat for some reason, and are ruining the fucking TDM matches. Leave it to Aces, to keep once again 80% of the network authority on the client-side.
>>748952147At least the game is still actively supported so that might still get fixed.All they really need to do is make some kind of check for it being active when you enter online mode.
>>748952147Bandai can't do online for shit. I can't think of one of their games with online that isn't plagued with issues. I mean, I'm sure you've seen how they've handled Gundam Battle Operation 2 on PC. Literally one of the worst rated games on steam.
>>748952269>Command And Conquer Tiberian TwilightFuck you made me remember, and now I'm fucking fuming, shitting, and mad.
>>748951931Like that it got its own anime girl about as soon as the game came out.
>>748952147I don't get why someone would want to cheat in a fucking AC game. It's so fucking niche and casual. It's not fucking Tarkov or CS, actual fucking losers
>>748952326Let me make a guess: The players in question are Chinese.
>>748952326Autism and Chinese, a dangerous combination
>>748929084>How bad is it?It's not, it's kino and a great AC game. better than 6 and 7 and 5. Almost on par with 4 and 0
I haven't played any of the Ace Combat games, but I read that it's just the same story but told in different perspectives throughout each game? Like Dynasty warriors? fucking gay
>>748952463Well, you read wrong.
>>748952463no, retard
>>748952463It's the same setting but each game is a different time period and cast and warHalf the games take place on the same continent and the rest don'tYou were lied to
>>748929712>>748928909>>748936860I am so fucking bored of shitposters with nothing better to do.
>>748952463lol no
>>748952315living up to its genre.
Imagine being Hungarian.
>>748952463That's not what it is at all though, you dumb tard.
>last few missions>cool megafloat destruction>awesome climactic last stand>awesome boss fight that's like a cross between the end of ac0 and something from ac3>actual final mission is some boring bullshit shooting down missiles and a submarineholy fumble
I have 4080 and r9 7950x3d. What the fuck do I change in the settings and engine.ini to make the game run at 120fps in 2k? I can barely reach 70fps. Fuck UE5.Hard mode: no frame gen.
>>748928909I'll buy it when it goes half priceKnowing how nips price their games, thats gonna be when its worth 1/10th
>>748952679>Dogshit tunnel run tooBut still a fun game imo, desptire the last mission and the lmao "tunnel run"
>see a tunnel in the plant>go inside>radio chatter starts asking wtf is going onLove that shit.
>>748952808It's always so kino in AC when the radio starts freaking out and then you reappear and then it's like "HOLY FUCK THE SONUVA BITCH DID IT" and then everyone is gassing you up in future missionsLike in 0 and they're on the radio like "The Demon Lord... holy fuck"
How does this series' stories compare to, say, picrel?
>alicorn emergency missionthis shit is unbeatable with randos lmao
>>748952937Alicorn is pretty easy so long as someone (read: you) goes for the ballasts. Chandelier is the one that's impossible if the randos don't know what they're doing.
I got a physical copy of AC Zero for pennies several years ago, but the disc is fucked in some way and the game hangs on the first mission.
>>748951952the foids mog you because they're playing on hard mode
>>748952979My friend and I were playing Chandelier and all the PC and Xbox players scored higher than the Playstation players and he was like "yeah, that makes sense, they can't play 6"
>killed shadow 22 by freeaiming missiles while he was doing his stupid stuntskek
>>748929084they shoved in a last mission to make Debra Wilson save the daythe mission felt so rushed and out of place that I just know they got a message from their jewish backers to add a mission for their favorite token sheboon to save the day after they already finished the gameit wasn't enough that she had to boss you around for the entire game during debriefs
>>748953125I haven't tried it myself but I bet railguns or rocketpods would absolutely delete him
did people just nolife the game im still at like mission 10.whats the fucking point of speedrunning a game like this
>>748953243early access
>>748953125I always go back with cheats in ace combat vidya after finishing campaign to see how they programmed the AI to react when you kill them within seconds etcIn one of the missions where the team has to leave you behind and you fight against shadows alone I spammed like 50 LAAMs from distance and one nigger kept infinite spamming flares kek
>>748953243Preorders got it early.
>>748953125I don't think I ever hated enemy squad as much as shadow 22, fucking infinite flares.
>>748953282Deluxe Edition* They spent way more money to play it early
>>748953337I bought it from scamco store and it ended up being 70 euros, the same as standard edition on steam.
>>748953282i preordered the standard edition one day before release
>>748953337I preorder the goyluxe edition from key site for about 55 eur and got the key right on time on 29th so that was pretty good
>>748953243Don't worry, I'm on mission 4. I'm taking my sweet time.
rex being a schizo would've worked out for campaign coop where your friend would also start blasting with rex thinking it's COPE but in reality it's just him mogging everyonemaybe add a few lines from wingmen talking about how fast you're doing shit like being at two places at once etc kek
>>748953689So kinda like Christian Bale in The Prestige?
>>748953814something like that yeah, I'm sure it could be thought out well when applying the idea to the game by devsmaybe with the age of AI slop someone will make seamless coop mod
>>748946252Cope heehee
>>748953921>All PS2 games combined into one>All three campaigns with 4 player coop and sufficient enemy numbers/health to compensateWhat a time to be alive
>>748954215>AC8 mission 27>1000 enemies>each player adds 1000 + more AI friendliesthat'd be kino
>>748954296People complain about their tech specs as it is, you'd be melting computers at that rate
so what's the best plane? SU35S?I see most people using SU memes on yt
>>748929114>>748929132Shills
>>748946252I say it's about time we have newtype shit in AC. It's been gundam with planes for so long without them.
>>748938785Dumb zoom
>>748938909all the other stuff aside making the hero jet a Phantom II is soulful as fuck, fuck you
>>748952147I saw a Mig player that was speed recovering like nothing, would slow down, and be at max speed in seconds, and faster than everyone else, dude was clearly cheating, check his profile and it's private, look at past names and it's all chinese shit lmao
>>748954728fishbed>b-butfishbed
Disgusting amount of chinese names in the credots desu.
>>748945469Just like rhe xb-70.
If they don't release the Night Raven as DLC, I'm going to kill myself
