Cope was a waste of time and I wish he died in the beginning and was never mentioned again.

>>749052992I would bet money hes left over from the player pilot not being mute originally.
So why was the crippled lady and the fart sniffing fag in that remote village away from everything, the village we just so happen to crash into, without any armed escorts or army accompanying them, just before their own camp nuked the entire place? Like seriously, how contrived can this shit be?
>>749052929SEX with Shadows.

>>749053056Every other scene of Rex out of the cockpit portrays him an autistic fish out of water.The sheep had absolute advantage on the ground unless it jumped into the air at which moment Rex's instincts would kick into full gear.
Jesus Shadow 22's fight is so hard, I have landed literally one missile with an upgraded F-35 and it wasn't even on Ares/Toprak
>training missions give free MRP
>>749053113>So why was the crippled lady and the fart sniffing fag in that remote village away from everythingTo personally head the search for Cope, retard.
>>749052929>>749052929Just reached mission 15 and this one killed all the joy I had with this game
>>749053203Use guns and gun parts with ECM on allies.
>>749053226basically getting a shiny nickel though
>>749053241Why? Why personally? Why alone?
>>749053283probably thought he was cope
>>749053203I gunned all of them down with desperation gun shots. Fuckers danced circles around my missiles, got clipped by bullets I wasn't even really expecting to land.
>>749053283>Why? Why personally? Why alone?Crippled lady was Cope's childhood friend and she wants him to manhandle her broken hips like a disposable fucktoy.
>>749053260>getting filtered at the skill check missionlol
He died so we could get a kino moment
>>749053113maybe get off your phone while playing a video game, retard
I'm gonna do mission 15 with the A-10 because I can't stand hearing you fags complain about it anymore
>>749053113why are you people so fucking stupid>>749053283finish the fucking game
>>749053191>Every other scene of Rex out of the cockpit portrays him an autistic fish out of water.>silently looks at your hand, thenntakes annawkwardly long time to shake it>he does this every timeYeah no wonder Tasha isn't a love interest, Ray is actually more autistic than Trigger.
>>749053260USE YOUR MACHINE GUNS FFS.Every time I hear someone complain about Mission 15 specifically its because they're just shooting missiles at the thing with no other strategy. Fucks sake you NUGGETS
>>749053434i liked mission 15 a lot, but thats because i bought an Eagle. had practically no trouble.
>>749053478Some of the posts here have me losing my mind. People can't be this fucking stupid.
>>749053498we are for kate
>>749053498>thenntakes annawkwardlyMan, i'm falling asleep
>>749053536
>>749053090>any inspiring words for Tasha, Rex? She needs you to pull her out of this>"Yes">heh... thanks Ray... I needed that
>>749053262>>749053336Is there really no way to get them with missiles? There must be a window in their constant prancing around. Do you need QAAM maybe?
My game keeps crashing randomly during cutscenes, UE error 01 or something. Really killing my vibes of playing this game, ngl. I was just done with a mission on Ace that was giving me trouble, finally got S, then the cutscene crashed and progress didn't save.
>>749053608>Yes
>>749053624Even just staggering your missiles work I thought.
>>749053624QAAMs are useless too, on my F22 attempt I resorted to guns as well because they weren't working. They just straight up cheat.
>>749053536zoomers lack critical thinking, patience, and reading comprehension.
>>749053203>>749053624You can land missiles, I only played the mission in Veteran but I got most of them with those (had about the same success rate with QAAM as standard missiles)
>>749052929no one touches him in the airnothing said about the ground
What a shit game. DCS won won so hard holy shit.
Man I love KateTasha on the other hand reminds me of talking to zoomer girls, sure she may be hot but everything she says is retarded
>>749053608I lol'd at that part
Is Tasha a Kojima fanWhy'd she go for Ray as a new name instead of using RexDoes she think we're like Raiden doing a MGS2 thing trying to copy and be like Cope?
>>749053509I can't really blame people when AC7 and 8 have a garbage gun reticle
>>749053624You can but its hard and this is a direct reaponse for fans (like me) who wanted a fix from Mihaly's scripted and railroad shitshow. This is what I've wanted from bosses in AC for a long time.
>>749053818>Get off the ship>Natural exit point for her character, she doesn't want to shoot down people anyway>Everyone says good bye>back literally the next mission
The little cutscene that plays when you buy a new plane makes no sense. The hangar doors slowly open, as the new plane slowly starts getting hit by daylight from the outside, implying that the plane is going to be fully revealed in the light when the doors are fully open. But before that happens, there is suddenly a harsh cut and the plane is shown standing inside the closed and dark hangar again, and the full reveal instead happens with hangar lights turning on and shining on the plane. What gives?Now that I noticed this, I can't stop getting pissed off every time I see it lol.
It was goodCould have used a longer tunnel or canyon run thoughAlso I wish they'd fix the gunsight, it sucks so much ass I hit enemies more reliably outside of the range it shows up
>>7490538868 and 7 have completely different gun physics, post play time.
>>749053964Holdover from when AC8 was supposed to be a gacha game
>>749053886change reticle setting to type b, the default a makes it more like 7 while b is more classic
>>749054010not really
Can’t wait for PW2 to mog this japslop
>>749053884I really though the Cope/Rex thing was going to be a S3 plan type thing, like MGS2, especially with the Rex/Ray nod from Tasha.
>>749053948>Natural exit point for her character, she doesn't want to shoot down people anywayThat's stupid. In a war setting, the only logical conclusion is that she WILL lose her murder virginity eventually and she does it protecting Coster. What's needed is a scene afterwards where the fact she's killed someone finally hits her and she starts vomiting and crying and needs to be comforted by her team, who all understand the cost of taking human life (except Rex, who's a fucking sociopath and relishes killing Sotoans).
>>749054121maybe in 15 more years
>>749053948>kate gets shot down>"ok shes dead RIP">see her in a cutscene later floating on a piece of wood or someshit>"oh wait she's alive!">she falls under the water>"ok shes dead now for sure">back alive a couple missions later
>>749054121peace walker 2?
I fully expected the Molemen to be hiding some weird experimental plane the game was going to railroad you into using for a mission to shoot down the satellites or something when they finally opened the hangar door up.
>>749054174might as well be lmao both will never happen
>>749053360https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiWcMkTjMLo
>>749054183Same. I thought it would be a space flight capable plane and we'd get our first official look at an AC3 prototype plane that can go into outer space to nuke the spears directly.
>>749054058oh god, thank you anon.why the fuck is that not the default.
>>749054160>>749054174>>749054235Keep enjoying trash
>>749054280change everything that has a type a/b option to bcamera, gun reticle, high-g turns
>>749054267>they're dying off one by onePoor Coster.
>>749054316can i just like ace combat and project wingman both?
So does this game have any experimentals or is bamco going to once again lock them behind dlc?
>>749054346I really couldn't give a shit about Coster, what wasted space on the flight.
>>749054278>AC8 literally has a scene where you need to go to space to destroy the tonitrus spear in orbit>hey should we have the player go to space?>nah, we'll have baxter do it insteadWhy is Project Aces so afraid of space.....
>>749054365theres two once you clear the gamemore will be dlc
>>749053792speed+homing+damage air special weapons parts with QAAMs mulch them. works the same on ace. the gun parts help as well, both for the earlier parts of the mission and whenever you get a chance to put shots into them. SU-57 hard carries that mission
>>749054425have to make a new flight model for itit was probably easier on the ps1 when AC3 did it
>>749054365You get the FA-36, its EW variant, and Moon 11's plane (X40?).
>>749054316Professional Wrestling?
>>749054365You get 8's super plane and the FA-36 surprisingly.
>>749054183By far the weirdest part of the story other than Cope.
>>749054267NOBODY'S COMINGCOULD BE MY COFFIN IF I BURNED LIKE A STAR WOULD YOU BE MY WITNESS
>>749052929Which one is played by Debra Wilson?
>>749054463Such a bullshit answer. It would be one short mission with no enemies other than the satellite, it doesn't have to be deep.
>>749054516Game is so sexy with a canopy.
>>749054463Just delete the drag, ezpz.To be honest, I'd be pretty okay with them just doing some minor tweaks instead of it being authentic.
>>749054556they're clearly saving that load for something closer to electrosphere
>>749054520Between them and Torres, and now fucking ghosts I'm half convinced the people of Strangereal begin to suffer spiritual damage if they don't feel the wind.
>>749052929Did the qt from the Harrier squadron made it? Jackpot 9 i think
So how do I turn off the forced ray tracing?
So my boy will be in the DLC, right? They can't not include him in this game since he dies in 2030, there won't be another time.
>>749054549She voices the dog
>>749054713depends on your performance in retaking theve ii
>>749052710>>749052630yo niggas, a mission is literally just 5 minutes if it's not timegated. I'm on mission 8 now
>Wings is now real>And so am I
>>749053608that shit has gotta be intentional to be funny
>>749054738He's come either way, after that ending they've worked their way right into AC3
>>749053360some anon made this already
>>749054812>B
>>749052929> lust inducing image.> time wasting question.Fuck you, op.
>>749054738really can only happen if the DLC takes place before the end of the war. The war ends in August and Dision dies in July. It'd be pretty easy to do, though. Just have one of the war engagements happen at a General Resource facility and Dision is one of the aces they send out to defend the base in the middle of the fighting.
>>749054812such an easy mission to S as well....why aren't you full clearing?

>>749054812>BWTF were you doing? Jerking off?

>>749053884>Metal Gear Rex>Metal Gear Ray
>>749055061fucker shouldn't have joined the invasion then if he cared about his half sheep kid that much
But the question is can they make a dlc campaign better than Torres?
>>749055045it's not worth addressing. He and Yoko die because GR send mercenaries to destroy Yoko's sublimination research, it's all internal and nothing to do with the FCU-Sotoa war. Just have him cameo in the DLC missions as one of his last few flights before his death. I think trying to make it an overt reference would come off as a little trite anyway.
>>749052929i need this mod right now for 8
>>749055141No he was too peak. But considering ghosts are real and canon in AC the chances of him coming back as a ghost ship aren't high, but they also aren't zero.
>>749055010Why isn't there a photo mode...
>>749055061It was his choice to dance with the angels
Do pilots really eat this?
>>749055061You mean the fighters who are invading, nuking, genociding and killing unarmed civilians and surrendering enemies have families of their own? Damn, I really should have thought of that before massacring all of them.
are you guys flying with type A or type B camera behavior
>>749055045It's ok, things can happen in the background that we already know about without being overtly referenced. This isn't Star Wars, we don't need everyone to be related.
>>749054360Imo, PW > AC just because PW fully supports VR. Doing a gun strafing run on ground targets and coming so close you start seeing the individual steel beams is pretty awesome. Also, the fact you're physically moving your head around to track targets as you try to line up a shot is honestly a lot better experience than just looking at the monitor.

>>749055318type b. i'm not trying to stare at type a ass whenever i'm playing a game.
>>749055318What is the default, because I beat the game without changing it.
>>749054316Dcs lost
>>749055359>PW fully supports VROnly issue is that you need a fucking 5090 to run it.
>>749055448Kill all sotoans.Dirt farmers and goat fuckers, the lot of them.

I'm sad we had two missions with Comona and they didn't make a remix of or just sprinkle in a little bit of "Comona". Unless there is and I missed it in the OST. I know lifeline is in "a lifeline in the desert".
>>749055670Runs on my 3070. Isn't the prettiest thing to look at but it runs and can see well enough.
>>749055141Torres was a hammy self-interested villain, making someone like him might just come across as forced, IMOThere needs to be something to set him apart
what the fuck was going on in that last part
>>749055649type a is the default which makes the plane sort of drift around the camera center when you make big maneuvers, it looks kinda like when you hit turbulence in ac7. b keeps the plane centered like usual.
>>749055141I think it has the chance to, Zone of the Endless stuff has been growing in the background and this is the game right before it hits it's peak.
>>749055772Just Newtype things.
>>749055061i dunno how you go into missions without a "GET S RANK" mentality, you started with 7 didnt you
>>749055772The Terminus Fingers finally came for him
>>749055670I have a 5090 and the final boss with his railgun spam still wasn't super smooth. Maybe it was just my settings though, but even then there is legacy vs main branch changes.
>>749055772guy heaven
>>749055698Meanwhile Rex would canonically bomb a school full of children if it gave any sort of points
>>749055448I wanted nothing more but for the last act of the game to make us invade Sotoa and hit them in their own home. Surrender should never have been accepted for these irredeemable pieces of human garbage.

>>749055698"Tent" is probably the most civilian target you'll get the chance to shoot, we're literally talking about SAM sites, AA guns, APC's, guns, and military aircrafts. Death to Sotoa.

>>749056353Yes. You get to pick your plane again at like Mission 3 or 4
>>749056353for the first 2,where you have to get the UAVs and then the 2nd mission where they abort your landing, after that its your own hanger dont forget to have a high level carrierplane

I just did mission 14. Flying through the valleys avoiding the sensors was fun.
>>749056826They're just dirty naked molemen, they mean you no harm.
>>749056712What does the birds represent?
>>749056409>they're still REEEEING at Wings of Theve>at that point you have Retaken Theve, Destroyed 2 Land Battleships, Killed 2 Experimental Bombers, defeated 5 Shadow Squadrons, and disabled a Tornitrus Spear with it's Guiding SystemLike what else do they want?
>>749056826Don't forget they canonically did creep out at night while everyone was sleeping to paint crosses over all the wings emblems on the planes
>>749056712https://youtu.be/My4mGMjxukw?si=sTjTGade-PZKyfvN
so what exactly is the point of the choice system when I pick a negative option and the character just goes "HEH..." and ignores it then continues on as if I agreed with them.
>>749056718Without the Based MoleGODs (You) wouldn’t have taken personal offense and had to prove to the whole world that Wings was in fact real and not just a social media shitpost.There’s only room in the FCU for one schizo, and I’m not going to lose to some underground rodent.
>>749056712>All white birds are actually the souls of pilots just coming back to the world of the living to check up on things>A swarm of white birds will appear out of nowhere and destroy the electrosphere, freeing the souls trapped inside.

>>749056968it exists solely for>is it time to run?>NOand>see, i told you this was a terrible plan!>NOin ac5 it lead to different missions once or twice
Very sad yes but also did anyone have terrible performance during this scene usually the intensive story sequences might hit 50fps but this was all they way down to 30fps for me. They're rending every room on that carrier at the same time or something.
>>749055204just the replay that's it
>>749056968Purely so you can say << NO >> whenever someone suggests that going off to fight 50 fighter jets alone is a bad idea and that you should run instead
I wanted to get the medal for avoiding all the sensors in mission 14 but does restarting from a checkpoint not count for it?
>>749057094Mine specifically shit the bed when the lift started descending. I think it was down to about 25-28fps.>>749056907It's mentioned either by Cope or someone else that there used to be four squads on the Endurance. I'd like to imagine the birds you see in the intro were the ghosts of those squads.
>>749055296yes, it's still better than enlisted galley, but worse than the chief's mess>was aviation sailor
>>749056968<<Should we run away Rey?>><< NO >><This a is a terrible strategy isn't it?>><< NO >>
>>749056907AC8's ending implies white birds are the souls of Ace pilots
>>749057243There's absolutely no way an Essex like the Endurance would be able to support four flights of Hornets. Even the two you start with is pushing it.
>>749056968Sometimes your wingmen suggests new formation tactics at you.
>>749057203not that mission, but i restarted from a checkpoint after i completely fucked up on a missile at mission 30 for the medal and got it afterwards.dunno why the rules would change in your case
>>749057243>>749057318I figured it would be the souls of pilots or the Razgriz coming to stack bodies once again.
So did you guys shoot down the Osprey?

>>749057487It's a shame there's no one in the comments section saying it's Belka during D.D's stream. Stuff like that should have a ton of easter eggs.

Why did 'rex' become 'ray' again?Was it literally just because tasha is dumb, or is there some nippon word play bullshit that didn't translate?

I still don't understand the beef with AC7.
>>749058464>they play on simple controls
>>749058476It was a big comeback but flawed due to dev hell, most apparent in the erratic story.
>>749058476The only issue I have with 7 is that it is like 4 different scripts poorly stapled together. Infinity proved to Bamco that the series was worth giving another shot. 7 showed that the franchise still had legs.
>>749058464Only one. I sat him down to Ace combat zero special mission and I was surprised he was managing to shoot stuff down from the start. Maybe he played the psx games without me knowing.
>>749056362Why does this genocidal bitch even get a chance at a peaceful eternal slumber after all the shit she's done?
>>74905847619 gimmick missions. 1 tutorial mission.
>>749058649Do you think Torres is also in Valhalla?
Armored Core 6 is still better than AC7 and AC8They're both Bamco series about mecha anime plots and single combat warrior heroes.
>>749056409>POV Fort Gray's commanding officer
>>749058476The gimmick missions are so bad and numerous that they ruin even the first playthrough (compared to smth like 5 where it's only subsequent sessions that suck). Also broken gun reticle and you never get a proper rival showdown
>>749058537>Simple controlI used to be one of "THEM"
>>749058708>Armored Core 6fuck off with your from slop. that company should get nuked from orbit for shitting up gaming as much as the western cancer did.
>>749056968it's a carryover from AC5 (and AC3 somewhat because of the all the different mission outcomes and paths) without any of the substance
they could have cut cope entirely and nothing in the game would have changed, being a numale or whatever has zero impact on the story or game.
>>749058464I am noticing people being annoyed by how much radio chatter there is, a friend of mine and checking out random streamers
>>749058545>most apparent in the erratic storytrue but still more coherent than what 8 was trying to do
>>749058701Obviously not, don't be a moronHe's not a pilotHe goes to Strangereal's Davy Jones' Locker
>>749058826Very nice>>749058708Was the chopper too hard anon?
Ace Combat 8 is what Ace Combat 7 should have been
>>749058710>28 days without sex, Jim. Imagine.
>>749058708I'm inclined to agree with you. Modern Ace Combat WISHES it had a moment like "I won't miss" but instead we get WOOOOAHHH HOOOO HOOO HOOOAAHOAAAA
>>749057393huh I did it again and just got it this time. Maybe I just fucked up right at the end last time and didn't even realize it. Getting S rank on this is going to be a pain in the ass that's for sure.
>>7490588968 is very straight forward though? Sotoa's fertile land dried up so they swapped to industrialization, Enso approached them to help tech up their military. They invaded FCU for new land, FCU itself already a fairly shake entity considering they immediately had a separatist faction plus another nation inside went neutral. Enso's end goal being AC3.
>>749058862I'll keep saying it. Rex/Cope should have been revealed to be a sublimation prototype experiment run by GR and Yoko.
>>749059006I played that game. What moment are you talking about exactly?
That one mission with the super XB-70's had music way too good for what you actually do in it.
>>749058845Ac3 used actual gameplay decisions to branch paths, not a basic yes/no answer that changes nothing. Calling it a carryover is an insult.
>>749059006That moment did nothing for me considering the actual boss fight itself sucked.
>>749059042i was talking more about the writing between the characters, not the overarching global plot
>>749058929uh oh the bot swapped the replies
First DLC will have Mobius doing Mobius things (the real reason why North Point wasn't attacked by the Sotoans)The second DLC will have Trigger in a secret mission to stop some psychos to launch another AI based plane in a General Resources labThe third DLC will have... T-Torres again?!?
>>749059114Its about equal then, the ensemble cast of 7 gets less screen/VO than even just Tasha. The whole penal colony shit is really understated
>>749058701>downed pilots become birdsDoes that mean downed Seamen(heh) become fish?Do ground troops reincarnate into animals?
>>749059117I'm a real boy
>>749059086that's why i said "without any of the substance" you drooling troglodyte
>>749059069https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifKB4tH3wEE
>>749058708>shit music aside from one song that sounds like it was made by frequency>stagger barno. Boss fights were cool though.
>>749059069>I played that gameHow far did you get?
>>749059198Being a ground troop, bomber pilot or ship captain has to fucking suck in strangereal when you get rolled over by Superweapons or a single boneless psyopathic mute in a F-22
>>749059136General Resource and Dision.
>>749057397>RazgrizThey're still alive though.... Does and Yuktobania are just not involved because bitch ass Sotoans knew they'd get their shit kicked in
>>749059284AC6's soundtrack was just really boring, Kota Hoshino phoned it in, and I fear its mainly due to them fearing if they gave normies the Nexus soundtrack they'd go insane.
>>749057839Shortening or making a cutesy name out of your name is a sign of affection.
>Enso's ultimate goal is muh world without bordersWhy does Japan have such a boner for this concept? Kojima did it, and Ace Combat has touched on it in multiple games now.
>>749059284>>749059453>AC6 Music sucksI have to agree.
>>749059261What is so good about it?
>first mission brief has the crew decide whether to get resupplied or help out a country that's about to be invaded>thought this was going to be a choice and the game would incorporate branching mission paths like Zeros and 6>ohfuckyeah.jpg>actually, lol nope, completely linearI fucking hate these motherfuckers, what's the point of not implementing beloved features of old games
>>749059438Seeing as Kei is doing a bunch of shit since then, is she even part of Razgriz anymore or it's a three man flight now?
>AC0 port with CRT filterwhy yes I like smearing cum on the screen to make it look nice
>>749059548It's a kino moment, I don't know what to tell you. If you never played the game, then a 2min video isn't gonna have much effect on you, I guess. Or you might just be disingenous on purpose.
>>749059487Ace Combat 3 established that the setting has to be a world that is controlled by Corporations and not governments. Project Aces has been working towards that setting for 2 decades now.
>>749059453It's pretty clear he was forced to hold back and was only allowed to make the real shit on disk 3.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uI8jvUWDHc&list=PLd1KqZF_dKLarCd-WyeK2gJrOJgkzT0WQ&index=4
>>749059487they're trying to warn us about globohomo and the one world government but we never listen.
It's really crazy how Sotoans act conpared to Eruseans from 7, like they literally do not give a single shit about international opinion.
Pretty funny how they react to you doing this shit. Kate just sounds exhausted when she comments on you doing it.
>>749059568I mean considering how Anti-war they all were, aside from Snow, then they probably all left the military. Blaze probably went on to bang Nagase. Grim did whatever. Snow stayed in the military.The whole thing seems to be that the Protagonist seems to bow out after their exploits are gone, aside from Mobius, even Rex seemingly goes on to become Kate's navigator over being a pilot.
>>749059608What makes it kino?
>>749059604>that ground texturejesus I don't remember it being THAT bad
>>749058476It's a good game, but a replay leading up to 8's release surfaced a lot of issues for me with mission design and the way enemies are handled.
>>749059728It was blurry in the original.
>>749059610Please let us not pretend that Project Aces has some sort of masterplan for the overarching franchise story and that all the AC games are meticulously interconnected and build upon each other towards some grand plot point. You're giving the writers way too much credit. The devs didn't even know if they were even gonna be able to make another game after they released another one.
>>749059649its even more crazy that international powers don't really give a fuck about the spears nuking cities shit, which just feels like really bad writing than anything else
>>749059705Trigger is making autistic babies with his tomboy wife.
>>749059721I could autistically list all the things that, in my opinion, make it kino but you're giving off disingenous vibes so I'm not gonna humor you. You don't seem to be actually interested in a genuine answer.
>Interest in playing Onimusha, Fire Emblem, and Ace Combat at launch is increasingfucks sake Japan i havent bought a AAA title at full price/launch in probably a decade at this point you can't do this to me
>>749059068>stick dead pilots into other pilots so they have 2x the experience and talentBrilliant.
>>749059728that's why I mainly use crt-royale to mask it
>>749059786>>749059649>>749059438I'm surprised the superpower nations like Osea and Yuktobania just shoot the satellite down
>>749059705>Rex gets Kate instead of TashaShame
Electrosphere is hanging over the future of this series like a guillotine.
>>749057839rex means king in latinray (rey) means king in sapinishalso the whole ray of light/hope imagery they were pushing in the mid-late part of the game
>>749059705even Rex seemingly goes on to become Kate's navigator over being a pilotI think he's still a pilot, just not at that moment
So what song is AC8's Zero/Unsung War/Daredevil ? Beat the game and I honestly can't remember any tracks outside of that dumb chanting monks track.
>>749059608>It's a kino momentYou are retarded. Stop playing good games like ace combat. Go back to your slop
>>749059786Yeah, that probably would have resulted in an international effort to take out the Sotoans, seize the controls for those satellites and de-orbit them.The US, Russia(lol) and China would not let that shit fly.
>>749057839It’s either the Metal Gear connection or Rex and Rey both meaning King.
>>749059946Song of Wings (As One)
>>749059947I like both, thank you very much. Also if a moment similar to this would be in Ace Combat, everyone would love it.
>>749059949Eh with Osea it makes a bit of sense since they're still reeling from the Lighthouse War
>>749058086>>749058194>>749058258You didn't need to reply to him three times, bro.
>>749059894It's okay because Trigger's been fucking his wife under the Lighthouse for the past 10 years
>>749054330I dunno about high G turns. From the description seems like type B is a simplified version.
>>749059946Hortus Regis Alti.
>>749059838Oh so it is not kino after all. I get it.
started playing zero
>>749059198What do you think the sheep were?
>>749060107case in point
>>749060082yeah, which makes it easier to do in a frantic situation. you're naturally braking to make a tight turn anyways
>>749057839I think it's a bit clearer in the japanese where they claim it's the same meaning
>>749060123Remember, the yellow targets nets a lot of points.
>>749059946Everflow
>>749060123>>749060174Do not shoot the yellow targets. You're better than that.
But my name is not Rex
>mission 29>im free now, you dont need me inside your head anymore>mission 30>hey yo lol subs am I right?Like I thought Cope said goodbye to us in mission 29 kek.
That's right I just remembered the writing and delivery in Armored Core 6 was perfect, just like Ace Combat all that in mission dialogue. >"Tell em Mean Old Michigan died of a bad fall."
>>749060123Shoot everything, because the only color that matters is green
>>749060074wronghes with avril in the desert drag racing f104s
>>749060242the story was completely disjointed and they just didn't care to fix it lol
>>749060264they are nothing alike
>>749059946>Zero/Unsung WarWhat made them be so lazy to reuse the lyrics? Could have just scatted like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJhtIv_Yd5w&list=RDOJhtIv_Yd5w
>>749060123you are the Demon Lordplay in a way that is fitting
>>749060154But what if you'd want to do a regular turn instead of high-g? Does it "pulse" high G when trying to follow a something moving franticly, requiring multiple high-g turns
>>749060242Yeah, the game ended with the finale of Mission 27-28-29.I think mission 30 is their version of some sort of happy ending epilogue, but it wasn't originally there so they had to quickly write it in or something cause it just.... doesn't make any sense really.
normalfags don't seem to like the SOVL and sincerity in ace combat stories and dialogue
>>749058476AC7 might be the worst 'not Assault Horizon" game in the series. The sheer amount of enemy missile spam and pointless sudden deaths is bullshit. It brings back too many of AC4s worst levels, here's a giant map, get X points in 20-30 minutes. It's not fun and it's rage inducing. That's not even saying anything else about the game. The only good part about AC7 is doing well enough that AC8 kino came out seven years later.
>>749060242the writing feels like they randomly shuffled the missions around and then tried to make the story somewhat coherent at the last minute
>>749059946Zero - Hortus Regis AltiUnsung War - Song of Wings (As One)Daredevil - Everflow
>>749059946everflow -> hortus regis alti, in that order as played in mission 29
>>749060435But anon... fallen aces become white birds!! Don't you get it??
Being a civilian in Strangereal must suck so much. No wonder so many people join the military, at least then there's a chance you know something's going to pop off, instead of waking up one day to a spear falling from the sky and nuking you, or drones coming out of containers to fucking kill everyone.
>>749060467can you point to any specific examples of "SOVL and sincerity" in AC8's writing?
>>749060154You lose out on the ability to micro adjust speed for shit like aiming bombs
Did PA really have to throw in that jab at the US by having Sotoa blow up an elementary school?
>>749058476people got filtered by the gimmick missionsThe story also jumped around a lot which made it hard to follow. The progression mostly makes sense but it would've been better if they just stuck with the penal unit concept until the end as that was the most interesting storyline.
>>749060538im fine with that but 50 trillion people all looking at this one livestream is ridiculous to the point it comes back around to being funny and i cant be mad at how retarded it is>as you can see we are under attack from this enso submarine, which is a top secret submarine with no markings>YEAAAAH GO GET THEM WINGS OF THEVES WOOOOOO YEAHits kind of like they just went "people really liked torres lets make the final boss a sub" without actually realizing what made alicorn so good
>>749060605Does the camera feel weird to anyone else in this game? Feel like it's harder to track targets than other AC games for some reason.
>>749059779yeah, even now that they just retconned ace combat 5 by saying sotoa was at war with yuktobonia in 2010 and how moon 11 got shot down back then. Yuktobonia fighting against Osea and Sotoa at the same time? Hmm...
>>749060567>Resistance forms when you occupy a country>first response is to just to Nuke them from orbitSotoans are such fucking retarded chimps my god
>>749060074Trigger clearly didn't end up with her because she needs to ask for charity pilots to help out instead of just asking her hubby to hop on a jet and fuck shit up
>>749060490>here's a giant map, get X points in 20-30 minutes.>The only good part about AC7 is doing well enough that AC8 kino came out seven years later.Anon AC8 suffers far more from that than AC7 does
>>749060778When Tasha said 20 years, I didn't interpret it to mean a literal 20 years, I figured she was approximating plus or minus 5 years or so. It definitley happened before she was born. I want to see how hot her crippled Yuke mom is.
>>749060787>retards will be retarded with WMDsYes, that's why everyone is secretly happy US bombed Iran and is pissed off that Trump's too much of a pussy to finish anything
>>749060074i hate this bitch so fucking much>WITH THIS GLOBALISM DIES!!!kino
>>749060490>AC7 has too much gimmick missions>AC7 has too much scoring missionsMake it make sense retards.
>>749060797He was clearly on a secret Osean mission to help the FCU which will be DLC, trust me bro
>>749059946I think the best song is unironically the instrumental version of the theme that plays while fighting the shadows in the space shuttle eacort mission
>>749060778it's still canon, whatcha talking about?
>>749061005I love the score and gimmick missions in AC7. I'm going to get AC8 later when ever I get a PS5
Just finished the game. For me, compared to the rest of the series (I played all of them except the PSP ones), it has>best graphics>best sound design>top 3 mission design>top 3 plane handling>top 3 difficulty levels/scaling>not sure about the plane selection because i dont remember every single plane in every single game>bottom 3 story/writing>bottom 3 character design (tasha looks super cute but her character sucks ass)>bottom 3 music >bottom 3 tunnel runOverall a solid entry if you're a pure gameplay kind of guy.
>>749061005I enjoy scoring missions. I hate gimmick missions. Simple as that.
>>749060920>t.el aviv
>>749057423IT WASN'T ME I SWEAR
>>749060870As my own arbiter of what is good and what is not, mixed with it being 10-20 years since last playing AC4 and 5-7 years since playing AC7, those missions sucked there and didn't suck in AC8. I'll have to let it simmer for a few weeks or months but AC8 is already in my top 2 for the series, it may take over Zero as my favorite entry when the dust settles.>>749061005I didn't say anything about gimmick missions, /v/ isn't one person. Quite frankly I hate AC7 so I don't remember shit beyond the worst it had to offer to me. AC7 wouldn't suck as bad if not for the constant enemy AA and SAM barrages that never go away. I assume it's due to the introduction and poor implementation of flares, but I couldn't say.
>>749061305I played both AC8 and ACzero back to back, and while 8 is the better game overall, the peaks of ACZero are so insanely higher that puts its above AC8, like bro, a drone sub? Really?
>>749061439Yeah AC8 is just missing that thing, that magic moment where everything suddenly fits perfectly together, combat, music, dialogue, everything suddenly in unison for that one kino moment.
>>749061542mission 29
>>749061567Ehh, i disagree.
>>749061542agreed. kept waiting for it to happen and it just never did.
huh? have we ever seen or fought Moon 11 before?
>>749061305AC8 is a good game, it's just not "mindblowingly" good like the holy trinity PS2 games that made them so special even after all these years.
I swear zoomers fucking suck at articulating themselves and just spout blanket statement through whatever they feel, Ace Combat threads used to have people who would at least explain how they came to their conclusions on shit
>>749061567Decent but just didn't hit the same high notes as some of the other games.
>>74906156729 sucked as a moment
>>749061685I'm in my mid-30s but I'm ESL so I'm often too lazy to explain everything in detail because it requires more brain power than normally.
>>749061439>a drone sub? Really?Sounds like the perfect final boss. I hate soulless drones.
>>749053203I found them very easy, Shadow 22 didn't even manage to finish his dialogue, the motherfuckers flying F22s in the space shuttle escort mission on the other hand made me angry.
>>749058464I taught my 10yo nephew so of course I have to play WSO. He flies so unreasonable close to the ground...I introduced him to 7, but he dropped it in favor of 6 for some obscure reason.
>>749061653AC8 is a mindblowing game, it's not like the onions trinity that includes the shitter AC4 for some reason
>>749060734It was too corny, especially when the Sotoans started cheering us on to, even though we pretty much single handedly crushed all their dreams, took away fathers/mothers/children, and destroyed one of the things keeping their civilization alive. It made me laugh a bit when the FCU started trying to strawman in the chat but forgot to change their name from the 'FCU-PR-Division' or something.
>>749061807>onionsYou need to go back. Also, being a contrarian is not a proper substitute for a personality.
I like Ace Combat 2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE_n714gfiA
what a shitty woke gamethey want to be a western triple A game so badly they even hired debra wilson and gave her the last mission
>onions trinityGave yourself away baitbro
>>749060490AC7 had better ideas than 8>retarded nobility starting a war for absolutely zero fucking reason>penal brigades sent to die>breakdown of global communications, fog of war>fully autonomous drone warfare continuing last instruction to wage a war with no human in the loop>actual electronic warfare beyond a missile booster, fucking with your IFF>the extreme reliance on these information systems by modern fighters>kessler syndrome>independent squadron: the three strikesI really, really liked how bleak the end of 7 was. 8 starts kinda like that, but for different reasons, which quickly get undone, and it goes back to regular-ass war.If you remove the references to 3 (like GR) from 8, it makes it kinda hard to see a plausible transition between the two. After 7 everything is so fucked the possible path of world's nations giving up power to corporations in order to keep themselves together, leading to how the world is in 3, seemed almost inevitable until 8 basically reset the slate
>>749061894samehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP87SToC3k4
>>749061424The only pure score missions AC7 had were Long Day and Fleet Destruction and if you think those missions were terrible then I don't know what to tell you. >the constant enemy AA and SAM barrages that never go awayAC8 is the exact same in that regard
>>749061858unironically just wanted to invade the satoan mainland by fatsia, if not even beforehand. when you get fatsia on the ropes they just go "well fuck it we're going to launch spears at all your major population centers now". pretty sure tewy has a line like "oh all the warmongers that were on fatsia have now perished" to do the thing of "oh well it was just the military/leadership at fault normal people were different", which going by cope could be a point but still. its not like you meet any satoan soldiers or pilots that are actually nice to you
>>749061936>better ideas>penal airforceexplain
>>749061439Yeah I'd agree with this also doing them back to back. 0 has some really cool ideas/missions based on weird shit but if we are just doing a score map or just fighting/defending shit I prefer 8. Like this is a cool ass thing, and its only slightly diminished considering you dispatch it in the following mission in a kinda boring fashion. I am surprised at how easy blasting the 4 things were then actually shooting the top/middle to break it was.
>>7490619367 had good ideas but couldn't stick to just 1. should have just kept us as a penal battalion underdog throughout instead of flip flopping
>>749061936AC7 should have been 30 missions (with Alicorn), and AC8 20 missions.
I think the Tonitrus spear is the coolest superweapon i've ever seen, on the other hand the land battleship is the most retarded.
>>749061936I think PA just doesn't know what to do with 3.They keep planting seeds and nodding to it, but actually getting there seems to be a hurdle they don't want to attempt.
>>749056925NOOOOO IT'S ALL LE FAKE!!!!!!!!!
>>749061979>Long Day and Fleet Destructionnta but those were my most played missions. no cutscenes, just pure gameplay for 15 minutes. They gimmick missions aren't a big deal either if you can actually complete an AC game on Ace.
>>749060123Zero is really fun until you get to glatisant which the game just screeches to a halt with one of the worst annihilation levels in the series.
>>749062031>build laser anti air fortress>it just gets blown up anyways by three squads of planes
Huurrr durr gotta make some cheap drama and kill off everyone in Queens because ???Fuck this game, I'm glad I didn't buy it.
I feel like the whole gigacorpo angle of the story would have been more interesting if DD actually had character and charisma instead of being this soulless TikTok techbro that is just there to advance the plot. Why do japanese writers always try to emulate Western characters and the way they speak and act? It rarely works.
>>749061936The penal as itself was fucking stupid, the characters are what people liked about it. God you AC7-as-first-game zoomers can't have a single original thought and the ones you borrow you don't even get them.
>>749062094Conceptually the land battleship is dumb, but for gameplay purposes? Its fucking cool. What if aircraft carrier, but land
>>749054520It does seem like a long way to go just to setup the caverns beneath northern Usea that'll lead to the geofront. Very triumphant and interesting return during the finale, I liked Mole Squadron.
>>749062006>up and coming pilot gets framed for the murder of a popular president, gets sent to a penal unit and has to slowly work his way back up to redeem his namewhat more of an explanation do you need? Don't tell me you're upset about convicts having access to fighter jets in the universe where fighter jets are more common than corollas right anon?
>>749062301Its funny coming off of PW though where land battle ships are treated as a joke that exists to be bombed.
I straight up refused to give a response to any retarded question.I would be cursing out my team constantly for being whiny bitches.Ace Combat Zero is still my favorite.
How the fuck did the Sotoams managed to put the Tonitrus Spear in orbit without being nuked to the ground by Yuktobania and Osea at the same time?
>>749061887nta but AC4 is legit overrated.The boy's story is good but it has no relation to anything else.Meanwhile on the gameplag side the mission design is 99% forgettable bombing score runs and the flight model is painfully stiff, making dogfights a chore.
>>749062424Enso.
>>749062424the orbit was promised to them 3000 years ago
>>749062337how does an overabundance of fighter jets grounds for giving convicts, (and the alleged killer of notUSA's President), a fighter jet?
>>749062405<<CLARKSON!!!!>>
>>749054121Is it even in development? I've heard zero news.
>>749062424ENSO
>>749062431the flight model was fine for me when i last played it. mission design didnt annoy me. the boy's story was kinda whatever. to me, ac4 definitely still deserves that spot in the trinity
>>749062424Yukes and Oseans have 10+ other weapons of mass destructions deployed. There's a reason Sotoans went all the way across the ocean and invaded the FCU instead of Yuktobania next door
>>749054121Have they even released the art book yet for the first one?
Just beat the game, and I feel like they should have just made Moon 11 your rival and got rid of mission 30. Here's what I'd probably change>They should of got rid of Shadow 22 and just had Moon 11 be your rival so the battle against her actually had an impact. Have her show up for a few missions, like the retreat on the first attempt at retaking the capital, say some shit, fight you for a bit before fucking off. >Maybe make it so you can actually fight her to change the dialogue, and give you some score bonuses like fighting Crimson in Project Wingman>Have her do the Shadow 22 shit like shooting the parachutes and shooting Cope down>Combine the 1000 lights mission and the follow-up with their goal being to expose Enso and take revenge on you, with her ignoring you initially until you finally use you being able to hear Cope to call her out on her larp and goad her into a dogfight. This way you being able to hear him matters.>Axe mission 30 entirely, the resulting battle reveals Enso's involvement in the whole thingAs is, she doesn't feel that built up(Even though you hear her in mission 4 or whatever), and doesn't feel like she deserves a song with lyrics like Everflow. This would also make the squad finally relaxing, and Cope saying goodbye more appropriate since they don't have to go>Whoops, gotta take down a unmanned submarine LOLright after the 'big' moment of you beating Sotoa and ending the war.
>>749062462><<Captain Slow...I'll show you I've outgrown that title you halfwit.>>
>>749062462<<<Yo buddy. Still dry?>>>
>>749062116How come? I haven't played it yet but I know you're an AI and it's all a simulation, is it just too bleak?
>>749054520Aren't there morlocks in two different bases
>>749062454They sent the convicts out to do the dirty, dangerous jobs that the regular air force would rather avoid. Bandog mentions it every single mission and everyone in spare squadron also talks about it.
what plane did you take to the megafloat. thats a nightmare to try to bomb
>>749062454aren't the fighter jets they're given literal duds with no weaponry
>>749062454https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WlI24rv__gonly related to your pic, not your actual post.I feel like this would have been a great opportunity to do a cool mashup of mongolian throat singing and something else like the spanish guitar and soviet anthem shit from zero.
the holy trilogy is an outdated reddit meme and needs to end
>>749062614the setting is post-fall of world governments and rise of Corporations. the simulation is how many chess moves for his AI to assassinate his wife's husbandThe existence of AC3 is the end of Strangereal
>>749062006Training your citizens takes time and money, and while you do it they're not participating in the economy. Hence the idea of penal brigades meant as fodder. Russia is literally using them right now.And it's strangereal so it's easier to find you a fighter than it is to procure you an AK-47 >>7490620577 was overall prophetic about some of the future. Ukraine actually hiding drones in shipping containers to launch an attack from inside the enemy country like Erusea did, is such a 4th wall breaking kino I lack the words to even describe it
>>7490626143 is very scifi, and there's a very loud part of the fanbase that isn't interested in fictional planes or scifi stuff. Even if you argue that 3 was all just a simulation anyway, it wouldn't make sense for everything to have been made up because it defeats the point of the simulation.If PA goes back to 3, it needs to be scifi, and PA doesn't think they can get away with it.
Reminder Ridge Racer, Dig Dug, Galaga and Pac-Man are all canon to Strangereal.
>>749062745When 7 and 3 are better than 5 yeah
>>749062368well in AC8 they still end up like that anyway.
>>749062561I don't mind Shadow 22/Moon 11s role, if anything I find it weird to tie in Tasha's mom into her backstory. The final mission though? On day 1 and in 5 years no one will defend that mission, what a lame ass finale. They could have swapped it, slightly rewrite the events so the submarine attacking them was first and Moon trying to nuke Theve would be after.
>>749062771The thing about the future is that by the time you're done writing about it then it's already come and gone. Ghost of Kiev shit in 8 was interesting but in real life it burned out quick.
>>749062772>there's a very loud part of the fanbase that isn't interested in fictional planes or scifi stuffplane autists should stick to simulators. i dont want my anime arcade-style dogfighting game to be held back my "muh realism"
>>749062698Anything with a LACM
>>749062772>loud part of the fanbasethe fuckaas secondaries yeahAC has always been heavy on the sci fiAC will always be righteous cyberpunk clay
>>749062749>>749062772relax, AC9 will have a Singularity (presented in AC7) change the outcome of the fall of Strangereal to AI
>>749055909Unironically one of the best song in the game full of top tier songs
>>7490628437 was predictive tho. The shipping containers thing IRL happened after the release
>Moon 11 introduction before 1k bogey mission>she shoots down all your teammates>you're the only pilot with a working plane yet so you choose to go out alone to fight them>shit is dire at first as you fight moon 11 and there's 1 bajillion enemy planes approaching while cope plays some sad faded guitar shit>get knocked tf out by a missile>cope gives the last of his tard spirit power to wake you up>then start the power of friendship shit with everyone coming inthis would have been a much better ending imo.
I wonder what in AC8 will happen in real life. I hope it's not the mega corps haha
>>749062116What is there to do with 3? Just remake it without any changes. Maybe double the number of targets in each mission. It is not that hard. They even got the lesson of what NOT to do thanks to FFVII remake and what you shouldn't do is change and add shit nobody is asking for.
This game shares a lot of parallels with anime like Macross and Gundam. No surprise though considering it's a Banco Product which frequently works with Sunrise and it's subsidiary studios.
>>749062540go replay it then because the turning radius in 4 is insane. it makes dogfighting yellow with their PSM cheats a chore.the missions aren't bad per se, the issue is rather that absolutely nothing sticks out. It's an unmemorable game.
>>749062962it's literally already happening. Amazon, Tencent, Google, just take your pick for which one is enso order.
>>749062962Haha! Yeah, that part would never happen!Hopefully we get cool land battleships, and the space shuttle comes back (and works better)
>no f-15 S/MTD
>>749061305For me the game it easily among the best in the series, but yet nearly all missions and the game overall lacked this little something that's truly amazing or memorable, that even AC7 hadSo even if it's definitely a way better game than 4 or 5 which I was never a fan of, I still can't say it's close to Zero or 3.Still making a game like this in 26 is a massive achievement. Maybe they should taken more risks like some anon said in another thread.
>>749062451(((Enso.)))?
>>749058701>His plan while morally abhorrent was about the bigger picture and ending a catastrophic war as quickly as possible Torres is legit a much better person than Selene who's entire motivation was the genocide and /or slavery of USEA first then the world
Christ I hate Belkans.
>>749063081No that’s (((Belkans)))
>>749063057DLC just like with AC7
>>749062962We will get the Dystopia, but not the abundance of Fighter jets.
So what was the point in making me slaughter those Gemma chicks in two missions?
>>749062843It only burned out quickly because there wasn't a super ace IRL like in this game.
>>749063171That WAS optional. You did it because you liked it
>>749062917/aceg/ threads were wild that week.
>>749063024Yea, Amazon is definitely capable of running carrier operations.
>>749063171You like killing Sotoans, don't you?
>>749063171To let the Sotoans we weren't fucking around.
>>749053631Try adding -DisableAsyncCompute -dpcvars=r.D3D12.AllowAsyncCompute=0 to your launch arguments
>>749063252>That WAS optional. You did it because you liked itthese "people" gunned down parachuting pilots.No mercy
>>749063078Yeah this, gameplay wise is great, but goddamn even AC7 had faceless soldier at the end of the penal unit arc, i don't want to spoil much but both endgame bosses are kinda shit.
>>749062843I kind of remember that I instantly knew it is bullshit. I don't know remember why. Possibly the arma footage.
>>749063252>literally free pointsAbout as optional as gravity.
>>749063252>Shoe, meet other footNugget teacher only killed herself because she knew if she were taken alive by the ground forces she would have been gangraped and then shot in the back of the head
>>749063171POINTSYOU WANT THAT S RANK DONT YOU?
>>749057625>This is a terrible strategy isn't it>No
>>749063171Revenge for Queen 3 and 4, fuckers shoot the parachute, fuck sotoans they are somehow worse than Belkans and that's fucking incredible.
>>749063171why did they even go fight? did they expect to win?
>>749063252>>749063295>>749063298They were in my airspace, a king does not suffer trespass.
>>749063287They got the money
>>749063252NTA,I basically never know wtf is going on at any given point during missions until at least a second playthrough. My first playthrough is completely tunnel vision>I don't know who or where I am>All I know is that I must kill the red, orange, and white dots... preferably in that order unless killing all the red dots seems like it will end the mission and prevent me from killing more orange and white dots
>>749063287They absolutely can sustain a carrier strike group
>>749058708God please give me an Armored Core by Project Aces
>>749063287>Amazon is definitely capable of running carrier operationsthey definitely can if they wanted to try
>>749063369Send me to the civilian megafloat. I'm ready to unleash next level war crimes.
>>749063371>I'm sure to win because my plane is superior-Gemma squadron, looking at the guy in a Fishbed who already destroyed several landships and an entire airfield in 10 minutes
Would (You) live in a Megafloat, anon?
am i dumb for thinking the planes at the end of the tech tree dont seem to be that powerful, i cant remember the last time i felt gimped in a f22
>>749063535gemma squad lead doesnt kill herself if the vets in the flankers dont die because he convinces her to surrender
>>749063078>but yet nearly all missions and the game overall lacked this little something that's truly amazing or memorable, that even AC7 hadBecause AC7 was a very experimental game while AC8 was P.A. making a game based on all the element that were universally liked in AC7.The end result was a more consistent experience at the expense of novelty.
>>749063287They absolutely are, they just aren't allowed to have one. Amazon's profit last year was 77 billion dollars, so 77 billion in just cash they could spend or reinvest.The hardware cost for an entire carrier group is only 25-30 billion, and operational costs at 2-4 billion per year.If Amazon was allowed and had no guardrails, it could have 7 or 8 full carrier groups in 5 years, not gone into debt to pay for them, and I'm sure they'd be doing *something* to earn back on that investment if that were to have happened.
I cannot claim to hate Sotoans, just as I cannot claim to hate the insects I crush below my boot or a hound that has forgotten it's place: I simply put them down and continue with my life.I then stand on a mental patent's crisp white sheets.
>>749063591They hand you a hornet right from the get go which kinda removes the shitbox to superplane experience. The hornet is just good right out of the box.
>>749061305>>749061653Fucking hell Ace 8 is literally "Ace 5 but good" how the fuck can anyone rate Ace 5 above 8 beyond nostaliga
>>749063678there was that time pepsi had a small fleet from the soviets
>>749063693Based, but I do also hate Sotoans.
>>749063591Upgraded old planes are better than stock new ones.
>>749059786>nukingUmm, they are conventional weapons sweaty
>>749058768In 7 I just remember the radar thing.In 5 it was the radar thing, timing the bomb on 4 horseman(?) and I think stopping the gas attack was annoying. Escaping on the test planes felt a little like "this was an idea for a tutorial mission but it was eventually shuffled to the middle of the game" but it was fine I guess
>>749063721>Ace 8 is literally "Ace 5 but good"no it's not, especially when it comes to the writing
>>749063451>>749063442lol, lmaoThey can't even conduct air freight ops.
>>749063709i like the hornet but so youre saying because i didnt have to start with a F4, the F22 doesnt make me feel like a total demigod?
>>749063721People are just really blind in regards to the trilogy and how they remember it.
>>749063784>They can't even conduct air freight opswhat, they're probably the second best in the world after the US military
So did we all just black out and forget the side mission to the village and shitty ass canyon flight?because I did.
>>749063784it's about how much money they have, hence megacorporationshope this helps
>>749063754uhhh why does the impact from the spears leave an explosive mushroom cloud, they're solely kinetic weapons so it'd be like how they're portrayed in cod ghosts. unless they were aiming at something highly explosive each time
>>749062772Was it kino?
>>749063774>especially when it comes to the writingLol lmao good joke man
>>749063721These faggots have literally only played 7 and 8.
>>749063841mandatory ace combat suffering mission, every game had it. the escape in the trainers in 5 was worse imo
>>749063721>t.shit eater
>>749063721I think 5 had the better final mission, the overall plot makes more sense (surely corporations had a better way of undermining countries than just giving away superweapons to a particularly retarded one?), and bothe 5 and 8 have equally good soundtracks, but everything else 8 clears it.
>>749063902what did you like about 8's writing. be specific.
>>749063854Kinetic weaponry would actually produce a shockwave, heat up and displace material. It wouldn't quite look like that but CoD's depiction is also inaccurate.
>>749063721Idk if I agree about '5 but good' But it's obviously very 5 coded so I rate them about similarly. 8 is probably objectively better, but 5 does have the nostalgia factor.Also, there's something about the camp that just works better in older less polished games. 8 and even to some extent 7 maintaining high levels of anime camp but also really high presentation otherwise does kind of diminish it a little. You would want to keep the melodrama, but also improve the voice acting and writing quality imo.
>>749063910i'll be that guy and remind people about that mission from the psp game with the commercial airliner.
I am 100% sure that most of the anons that are talking shit about games from the holy trinity are zoomers who only know about those games through YouTube essays and have most likely never played them. I just can't prove it.
Do we have the specs of the Tonitrus Spear tungsten rods? I'd like to simulate the impact of such weapon.
>>749063591The SU 57 with the ceuise missiles felt way better
>>749064067>Each Spear was 6 metres (20 ft) long, with a diameter of 30 centimetres (12 in), and a mass of 1 tonne (0.98 long tons; 1.1 short tons). It seems like most of the rods we see in game were fired from 500 KM.
>>749064067Where they supposed to be something like this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_n1FZaKzF8&t=225s
>>749064181As cool as rods from god are, they would slow down way too much to be AS powerful as a nuke. They would need rocket engines to go fast enough once in atmo, and at that point. Just put a nuke on a rocket, it's cheaper.
>>749062157You have to kill off Queens so best girl can join your squad
>>749064296>Project Thor
>>749064314But best girl is Jackpot 9
>>749064308but they have railguns
>>749064365I mean IRL, anon.
>>749064045https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scaAjYqQm7gI remembered this.
I swear the railguns are the least effective AA gun i've seen in this series, i know that Excalibur got me at least once while chasing the SR71
>>749063591Some of the early planes might be a bit overtuned. I went Hornet->Tomcat->Gripen->Rafale->Typhoon->F35 and the Gripen was almost as nimble as a superplane (think AC7 Rafale) so I kept flying it until I unlocked the F35.
>>749063591Hello Timmy for last night. lmao, told you you were fucking retarded.
>>7490637617 had a load of shit>fly around red circles>you thought this would be a bombing run? fuck you, go chase 3 trucks>look up a walkthru to find the hidden sam sites>bunker buster>visually IDing friendly vs bandit x2>stay below clouds or you get missile'd (this one was cool)>unkillable bossfight with scripted lightning strikeswith 5 there's also nagase search. but with 5 another big pain point is the amount of time waiting for people to yap, like the stadium mission.
>>749064308It's worth noting the satellite was actually just a giant fucking railgun because it has an EMAD it uses to fire them at like 10Km/s, so by the time the atmosphere is thick enough for drag to matter, they're auto-igniting the air around them, which does actually have a slight drag reducing effect provided you don't break apart.
>>749064531as fun as some of these were, they were just fucking ridiculous. shit like this is why we get top gun maverick, which, while still fun, honestly could be a lot better.
>>749064308They have terminal guidance so they clearly aren't just rods
>>749064531>look up a walkthru to find the hidden sam sitesI hope you're just memeing.
>>749062824Tasha's mom stuff feels like either a DLC or prequel hook.
>>749064424Would you rather them be something like this?https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/AAAfOr just hazard zones to navigate through?https://youtu.be/OQsuZc9RuWo?t=349
>>749063057>absolutely none of the originals from X despite being a decade later
>>749064308This is false, and retarded. The veritasium video is actually one of the worst 'science' videos I've ever seen, and it fundamentally misrepresents how that system would work in reality (not to say it's practical, it probably isn't, but it absolutely could work as advertised). Not like 50MT nukes, 500KT might even push it, but could be effective tactical weapons.Fun physics and chemistry lesson with real examples. kinetic impactors, and to some extent railguns (though really you need 3-4x that speed), count as hypervelocity impacts. The kinetic energy is significantly higher than the chemical energy holding materials together and when things touch at those speeds they very much do just explode conventionally rather than as an object hitting or pushing the other'. This is why on the moon the craters are all circular despite most impacts being at pretty significant angles, you might expect an oblong shape from those, but they end up as point explosions at the point of impact. But to get this effect you need extremely high velocities that and the result is any material involved behaves as though it were a conventional chemical explosive.Same principal as the shielding on spacecraft, if you just thought about the kinetic energy and momentum the ISS would be riddled with bullet holes but the foil standoff shielding causes small space junk to just vaporize a distance away from the actual hull.You've probably seen video of railgun penetrators going through like 10 thick steel plates, and that's actually an example of how slow it is relative to what I'm talking about here, once you get to like 20 or 30km/s The penetration would vaporize itself and the first steel plate and then not go through the rest the way a 7km/s one does.
>>749064818I wondered if it was a character in previous AC games. I seriously dont remember.
>>749064843I can't see that video because i haven't played PW yet, but they should be some massive airbust like the original Stonehenge.
Nagase aged like fine wine
>>749064843>AAA beams are effectively impossible to consciously dodge. If it shoots at you, it WILL hit with at least one of the three pulses it fires in quick succession. If you're unlucky, more than one. There's just no way around it... save one. They do actually miss on rare occasions. You must be presenting the turret no movement across its field of view, so you may be directly closing, stopped, or directly headed away, and the firing ship needs to be stopped. Very rarely in this situation the beam will just shoot around you. But don't expect this to save you in a tight spot, because it's much more likely to just skewer you. These weapons are so dangerous on capital ships that default campaign disables most of them regardless of difficulty.
>>749064957The Sotoa-Yuke war is new, so probably not.
>>749064453Yeah, i didn't buy any carrier based plane so in one of the last missions i was flying in the base F18, still good enough.
>>749062143Excalibur was basically an anti-strategic weapon designed to shoot down missiles and super weapons repurposed for point air defense.
DLC should let us fly true COFFIN planes
>>749065261I mean in that mission the only logic i could find was that the belkans at the tower had nothing else to do so might as well shoot the laser and hope for the best. It was way more effective in the previous mission.
>>749065250I feel like I'm struggling with the F22. I guess I've just become way too impatient with my flying this late into the campaign. I ought to take a break.
>>749065378Oh yeah.If we want to justify it, it's because they're firing it at you raw instead of off the orbital mirrors to actually aim the thing I guess, so it's easier to make small corrections at a longer distance versus at close range?
>>749053608They say that Rex was something along the lines of 'blunt as always', so I like to think he basically went "GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER WOMAN YOU'RE BEING SHOT AT".
>>749053818She's a school dropout.>"Solar furnaces convert heat to energy.">"Ooh, like pizza ovens!"I could SEE Dealer's 'Oh, god...' expression in response to that particular gem.
>>749065585how was Rex able to get through life while being only able to say Yes or No
>>749053948that felt so weird and unnatural, we literally see her walking off. where did she get that plane and how did she come back
>>749065696isnt that also silly by itselfpilots need to actually get their licenses by being extremely familiar with their aircraft in flight school, right, and that includes lots of reading, m
>>749065745Because he's saying more than that, but we as the player don't get to see it because we are Rex. It was funny that they threw in a bunch in the final mission like Rex was having a dialogue with Moon 11.
>>749055296It's explicitly called out as "Fuuck this shit sucks, we REALLY need to resupply". So basically the sitch on the Lincoln during the Trump War.
>>749065785Everyone knows that you get your first jet when you turn 16 as a birthday gift in Strangereal unless your parents are poorfags.
>>749056362Seeing this did have me feeling a touch misty, it has to be said.
>>749054708>>749055002The intermediate upper atmosphere is 100% bone-liquifying cocaine that lets you survive 30g turns and strike you dumb. Rex is actually extremely powerful as he's still able to vocalise and speak eloquently.
>>749056383The battleships look strong in a vacuum but they're still sheepfuckers weapons and inferior to the Alicorn in every possible way.
>>749058146>"Dance with the Angels, Wings!"God, imagine.
>>749057583Nobody mentions Belka on the internet lest the nuukers arrive and start posting leaked wunderwaffe documents from belkan scientists in other countries just to prove strangereal lightning got the stats wrong on their favourite plane.
>>749059649Honestly don't know how the Yuktobanians didn't just go and take a massive shit on them.
The land battleships make the Chandelier look like a practical weapon.
AC4 fucking sucksZero > 5 > Assault Horizon > 4
>>749061409Not only was it me, it was me in my dimension-breaking experimental mach 6 stealth jet with laser fire instead of missiles. President "Darling" Harling is not my president. The sheets aint white when your boots got shite praise Torres.
