Try Multiplayer anons, forget the story for abit.
>>749616842Horse faced dude and a troonster. What happened to ace combat?
> << I understand why Kate is allowed to discipline us Ray but how come I get a spanking and all she does to Coster is confiscate his music? >>
>>749616920
>>749616842>Try Multiplayer anonsNigga i wish but it's mpossible to stard a basic bitch match without disconnecting.
>>749617105Install the game on an SSD, that happens when game is loading assets too slowly from an HDD.
>>749616898Fanart made using AI, that's what happened
>>749617105You aren't missing much. All that will happen if you join now is you'll get farmed by no lifers with maxed out planes while all your kills get stolen.
>>749616842I now have a level 20 F-14/D. It's fucking sick. But what's next?>>749617105The whole game is coded like shit. Please understand, they had to put all their effort into making overly realistic graphics for the gooners at the expense of a well running game.
>>749617581Do you have a ground attack aircraft?
>>749617147it's on ssd, it's tha game's matchmaking that it's stuck in 2007
>>749616842Not Coombat, Coombait you fucking dumbass, you had one job
>>749617565Pfft, you can always do something. I bought a Fishbed for the hell of it and took that out. There were 3 other Morgan Pixies in the match and my Fishbed was a fucking level 3 shitbox. I still outscored 2 of the Morgan Pixies.Having a nice plane is nice, but in this game, it's not the plane, it's you.
>>749617682>MorgansYeah most of those people are braindead but if you fight someone who is an expert with the TLS there is absolutely nothing you can do against them.
>>749617615I've got an F-2/A at level 9. Shit is way pricier to upgrade than the Tomcat was. For Emergency Sorties, I do have a dedicated bombing loadout for my F-14/D. It may lead to AWACS yelling at me at the start of the mission for not picking the right class of plane, but it's still better than the alternatives and it's not even close.
>>749616842Have the models already been ripped?
>>749617729Yeah, but I'm not worrying about that if I'm taking my Fishbed out for a flight. If I'm going into serious mode, I'll pilot my Super Tomcat at max level with 2 star upgrade parts. Did you know that the stat bars aren't maximums? I put on one for higher max speed and it looped around to a 2nd bar. I was so happy when I saw that.
>>749617765Yeah save up for a SU-34 or F-15E if you want a real attacker. F-2A is such garbage.
>>749616842>ɹoʇisiʌ
>>749616842I'd give multiplayer a try but bandai forgot to tick the linux-box in the "anti cheat".>Intall windows<< NO >>
There needs to be a DLC mission with a tunnel run but what should said tunnel run involve?
>>749617857>I put on one for higher max speed and it looped around to a 2nd bar. I was so happy when I saw that.Real shit? I've been having fun. Tempted to check out the /vg/ squadron.
>Mission 14>Mission 15Wtf is this?Missions took a sharp dive in quality all of a sudden.I hope 16 is better.
>>749618603Flying my penis into Kate's vagina
>>749617863Here's my hanger and rank. 7 slots. Probably going to be a while until I can get one of those planes. Just got access to a new rank and was considering getting one of them for now.>>749618683Yeah man. Check out my pic here. It loops around. My Flyswatter goes so fast. I love it.
>umm... joker 1, just... uh... kill all shadows
>>749619149>Rex: << YES! >>
>>749616898Are you 70 or something?
>>749619075Noice planefus anon. I've seen some pilots with two special weapons as well. When do I start getting that?
>>749617105Unironically sync your time first before opening the game.Even if your time is correct, if it unsynced for more than 3 days you'll get an error.
There are only couple pictures of Kate and they are really bad...
Reminder that female pilots have infamously bad bladder control
>>749619335Should have been a scene where you get to pick up an exhausted Tasha and carry her to her bed before tucking her in for the night
>>749619408So what are you implying? Tasha is a bedwetter or something?
>>749618603"Infiltrating" an enso order facility by flying your jet through the front door of course!
>>749619206> << FUCKING FINALLY! >>
>>749619408>>749619517Pilots carry diapers sometimes.
>>749619231I'll do better than answer your question, I'll tell you how to get all the info on all the planes.Hangar->Online Aircraft Set->Any slot->Select Aircraft->L1/LB to go to Aircraft List, All->Highlight Jet you're interested in->Press L3, Upgrade Aircraft->Press Square/X, Level details.You can now scroll through every level of the plane and see what unlocks at each level, including how the plane's stats go up with each level. You can do this for planes you don't own yet and levels they aren't at yet either. What unlocks when varies from plane to plane, but you can still see it all.
>>749619005The second half of the game unfortunately isn't very good. Most missions from that point are bad or frustrating.
QuestionCan I skip story cutscenes (not refuel/starting/landing) to get By The Book?
>>749619963Its called a piddle pack and its more like a catheter is best way to describe it. Basically you piss into a bag. Though I guess it would be funny for some to assume that Tasha has to wear a diaper.
>>749620143I don't know, but I wouldn't.
>>749620143yesbut why?did you skip em in your first run?
I want to take a saw to the Rafale's fuel probe. Absolutely sexy airframe and then that fucking eyesore sticking out.
>>749619517That's not condensation on your canopy.
>>749620384I know what you mean. I have no idea why it is not retractable?
the fact that project aces has a massive boner for 20+ minute missions pisses me offworst part of the modern games followed by the gimmick missions
>>749620275It's absolutely not like a catheter, which would be debilitatingly painful. It's just a bag that you either hold one handed or attach to your suit that you can piss into. It is filled with a powder that once piss touches it turns it into a more gel-like solid that neutralizes the odor and moisture. Once filled, you seal it and can dispose of it later.
How do I get good at this game because I fucking suck
>>749620541Rocky Island Day 2 lasts entirely way too fucking long for an Ace Combat mission. Many other missions also ride the line here, but that one in particular stood out to me as insanely long and obnoxiously difficult.
>fall for the shilling because I also enjoyed 1 & 2>download 140gb of unadultered ue5 slop>that will be $90 + tip>40 minutes into the game and it's still just cutscenes, constant yapping, and qtes>refundI guess I'm out of touch but I prefer actually playing my games instead of watching
>>749620534Apparently there was no room for a retraction mechanism. I call bullshit, they could have engineered SOMETHING. It doesn't even need to be fully smooth, a small bulging bit for a telescoping probe is totally fine. But a giant fucking plane-mole is ugly as sin, especially on something as pretty as the Rafale
>>749616842I'm on Linux so multiplayer is forbiddenalso my game keeps crashing after the tonitrus spear in Rocky Island 1 so I might be fucked
>>749620719You enjoyed 1 and 2 30 years ago?
>>749620375no I already played a campaign on Veteran. I regret this, should have played on Elite from the beginning to unlock AceNow I started a new campaign on Elite.
>>749620857yes I enjoyed both of them on ps1, what's wrong with that? can't a nigga trust his nostalgia once?
Why does it feel that Coster is about the only wingman that seems to do anything before Kate arrives? Not kidding he seems to be the only one able to attack when ordered to attack and if ordered to cover he will stick on you and pop flares to break enemy missile lock for you if attacked.
>>749620932you can literally skip all cutscenes and get to gameplay in 1 minuteyou are just retarded adhd zoomer
>>749616842Outdoor sex at night with Rena so she doesn't die!
>>749620938I often see Tasha and Teach bagging targets when I let themThough Coaster is often the first one to deplete his SPW when I tell them to use it
So every ace combat MC is officially kinda nuts, now even more with Ray literally having voices in his head as he do bunch of crazy stunts to down other acesSo who is the nuttiest of all the MC aces?
>>749621213Cipher is quite literally a Daemon Prince of Khorne.
>>749621213They're absolutely feral in different ways. For example, Trigger from 7 is the epitome of schizo flight technique (he's literally me) with a shitload of lines in-game referencing the fact he is always gunning it and defying physics. Cipher is a BDP sky demon that might be honorable or a scumbag, or both.
>>749621213Trigger is actually insane cause he managed to outfly and humilliate Two AIs built off of his and Mihaly's combat data.
>>749620636
>>749621396What exactly do you have trouble with? What mission are you stuck on?
>>749621396hold triangle
>>749619517He's implying that sex with kate is going to be WET
>>749621396Use Mission 1 to get your bearings, it's overly long for a reasonFigure out how to fly properly, how to position yourself behind targets, lock on ranges, team mate commands (in a later mission I guess), using autopilot when you get lost in a cloudIs there a more specific problem? In a specific mission?All it takes is practice and effort anon, I believe in you
>>749621396What difficulty are you playing?
>>749621396Expert controlsHold triangleFirst-person viewShoot missiles when you have an angle on someone. This usually means they'll be kinda under you before you fire. You'll know you still have a lock by the tone.Don't forget that you can yaw at any time.
>>749621396>>749621517fuck off faggots
>>749621306>AWACS calls you crazy if you go through the completely optional tunnel in Long DayI think that is the only time people call Trigger crazy, in a bad way
>>749621619Rude.
>>749621396You can dodge most things by using High G Turns. Pay attention to your radar since it will show how close missiles are and the predictive line of fire for rail gun shots.
>>749621619
>>749616842I can't because those jiggers block anyone on Linux from playing
>>749621670what are you talking about?bandog call you a crazy idiot at least 3 times per missionhe only recognizes your skills when cyclops guy does
>>749621619Don't make Baxter send you on a timeout!
>>749618603A Land Battleship that's actually a Land Submarine. It's dug a complex of tunnels under the Sotoan desert and contains the Sotoan command people.You must search and destroy.
Which mission is it where you can save Jackpot 9? I saw someone say mission 8 but I don't see her pop up anywhere.
>>749621814Yeah but he also calls every one else a crazy idiotThe only time he calls you a crazy idiot BECAUSE of a crazy stunt you pull is if you dive into the tunnel
>>749620738Which proton? I was on GE 11-7 and didn't have any crashes
>>749616842Might try it tomorrow before attempting my 2nd run on Elite. Because god damn that was an incredibly peak and intense campaign
>>749621883The mission before the first Land BattleshipIf she got shot down it's because (you) CHOSE not to help her. You let her die, anon. Why.
>>749618603Sotoa's irrigation project but the necessary waterworks are massive tunnels to fly around in>>749621883Taking of Theve II, she's in the Harrier groupWhen the teams split up to deal with different ground targets, knock yours out fast and go clean up theirs faster, or do theirs firstYou'll hear her if you do it right
>>749622006I'm literally doing the mission right now I haven't finished it yet.>>749622008Do they all need to survive? There are 2 left currently.
>>749621883She's on a timer in taking theve 2. If you don't blow up the sams at the airport when Dealer splits everyone up, she'll eventually die to a missile hit.
>>749621396Guns are underratedMissiles when you are directly behind your enemy for better accuracy - you'll know when the indicator SHOOT pops up in your HUDSpam high g turns to shake missiles Also don't forget to command your squad with the dpad.
Russian whore
>>749622075As long as you hear 9, it's fine
>>749621930There's also all the countless times wingmen call out you're flying style. More than once Count says aloud that Trigger is going nuts, like "Too late, Trigger already started" if you gun it into the combat zone before the early mission chatter is over. Also, during Faceless Soldier the reason everyone crowds around Trigger is because his flying style is so distinct from everyone else's.
Raped everyday by refugees btw
>>749622304Found the saartoan
I love the Berkut so much brosWhy cant the Burgers make something this aesthetic
>>749622336I unironically believe that a plane is worthless if it isn't aesthetic. It can be absolutely amazing in performance but if it's hideous, then it's terrible.
>>749622304Still a 'princess' 10 years later. Is she chopped bros?
>>749622075Pretty sure she'll let out some kind of message when she dies, so as long as you don't get that message then she should be fine.
>>749622424She said my real name and address then asked me why I let her down. It was very strange but it's nice the devs are doing something original.
>>749622421Erusean law doesn't let a woman rake the throne, so she resigned her royal status, pwople just keep calling her princess cause she's the only actually likable politician they have.
>>749620660The last portion was so fucking ass, after already like 15 minutes you get asked to destroy a fort...then wait 3 minutes for dialogue to happen and destroy it again...then more dialogue and destroy it again...then MORE dialogue and destroy it a 4th time. And literally nothing happens in between, the map is already empty at that point. And all the while you get bombarded with infinite AA shit so you can't even drop the controller in the table.
It wasn't that bad in the end
>>749622565I was already pretty damn near checked out of that mission when Shadow squad showed up. And then after you manage to kill them there's another 20+ minutes left of it. Fucking hell.
>>749622174Do you get anything if you save her?
>power of friendship wins wars
>w*man as a pilot of a fighter jet
>>749616842I did, it's ass.
>>749622736She appears in later levels
>>749616842>Log in into a game>Some jeetnigger has it's pc clock out of sync>get kicked to the menu, get shadowbanned>Have to restart>RepeatHow the fuck can one company fuck up matchmaking so bad?
how do you get S-rank on mission 28? closest I got was in an F-15 using 4AAM + MG's for the fleet battle and SASM for the shadows but even 110k points isn't enough
>>749622968Japan cannot into matchmaking. Guess it works just fine for japanese due to their connections being close enough to each other.
How are you supposed to clear Mission 24 WITHOUT flying into the Turntable at the end? I got an A rank on Elite and it upset me :( it broke my perfect S rank streak
>>749622736Her being alive and making funny comments later>>749622992You need something like 150kHere's my useless post about what I did tonight >>>/vg/584351397
>>749623059Nightreign had things more functional than this
>>749623078Why not? Even I managed it with SU-34 while the fps plummeted to 20 from the massive bombs I dropped there.
>>749616842they look like they stink
>>749623078I never flew into it. The enemies inside it that you have to kill are right at the entrances basically, so getting bombs or missiles in there isn't too difficult without having to actually fly in.
>>749616920Paidactorcoptor, does anything actually happen except a fail if I don't shoot it down? I tried getting cute and blitzing the final two simultaneously with gunfire but uh, hit some stuff. Which, unless I'm missing something: Doesn't even make sense.
>>749616842What's people's problem with the story? I found 7's to be far more egregious since like half of that game is you being shit on by higher ups and nobody giving you credit for being an ace.
>>749616942>Meanwhile coster screams in internal torment as he's forced to listen to people and engage in smalltalk would rather get a spanking.
>>749618603Mandatory back-to-back kulbit maneuvers or a mission where you have to follow a supply train through an underground tunnel and if you fail, Baxter says <<All we had to do was follow the damn train, Rex!>>
>>749623121>You need something like 150kJesus, I thought getting A rank was close enough but that's lunacy
>>749618603Bombing the lab that Dision and Yoko are in
>>749623164They keep cucking you by trying to bring up how Cope was better somehow (even though he was nowhere near our equal and never accomplished a single thing).
>>749622219>"Too late, Trigger already started"Wait, really? I've only ever heard him say that line. How much chatter did I miss by refusing to go slow at the start of missions?
>>749623273The max time bonus is something like 50k so if you're fast enough you can make itI should probably say since I didn't say it in my post, I actually heard the "you achieved the necessary score" thing minutes before the actual score attack segment happened, so if you can manage to get 90k-100k before the final part actually starts you should have plenty of time to rack up points against random fliers
>>749622174>>749622424Ok nice I got that line at the end of the mission saying she's alive thanks to me. Also doing my 2nd playthrough Immortals are my favourite characters in the game. I love these hardcore niggas.
>>749616942>what's wrong babe you haven't touched your crayonsinb4 air force aren't the crayon eats, all military fags are crayon eaters to me
>>749623147Because I had to make a couple of passes and I think it hurt my time score, just barely dropping me below S rank>>749623153Really? The targeting reticules around them stayed dotted pretty much until I went in, but maybe it really was excessive idk
>>749619149Realistically, at this point you could base your air doctrine on trying to find mute or semi-mute people, and throwing them in the 100 times gravity machine capsule from DBZ and anyone who actually walks out: bam you got your murderpilot. Of course, that would be sociopathic and any country that just took newbies and threw them in the fire -would- deserve genocide. Thankfully, no country is that stupid.
>>749623420yeh I got the required score like 9 minutes before the deadline then spent the rest of the time trying to hunt down high value targets moving to the EML zone the minute it popped up
>>749623327>even though he was nowhere near our equal and never accomplished a single thingHe made Shadows kill themselves without needing to fire at them.
>>749623327>They keep cucking you by trying to bring up how Cope was better somehowNo one says this. Quite the oppositr, everyone immediately agrees you're way better than Cope. Maybe you're just fucking garbage at the game and got the worst dialogues for it.
>>749619005My taxonomy of the game is as follows:1-10 - better AC510-20 - slightly better AC7 (I HATE 7 IT WAS TRASH)20-28 - pleasant AC429-30 - unremarkable ending
>>749623164The Enso Order plotline is underdeveloped and resolved in a single mission literally after the climax of the game
>>749622824>faggot anime poster makes a post
Do you think he pulled a Yuri gagarin, and said "The earth was blue but there was no god that could find a Sotoan soul"? I'd like to think so. D.D probably only posted it on Belkchan or something.
>>749623613It wasn't resolved though. Mission 30 is set up for the future of the timeline.
>>749616842Both of them are kinda mid. Tasha is incredibly immature. Kate has zero emotions. Thank god I play this to make the blips on radar go away.
>>749623164Too many missions and no routes to change things up
>>749623578>unremarkable endingHow you can feel nothing while Hortus Regis Alti blares as you're chasing Moon-11 around while she's slowly dying from her proto-Coffin while continuing to call out every move you make is beyond me. Even more so getting to see that cripple bitch getting blasted out of her plane and ending up a red splat on the ground.
>>749623575>Get called sloppy by Shadow 22 NO. NO I'M NOT SLOPPY. I'M NOT! FUCK YOU>Restart the whole campaign in shame.
>>749623578I enjoyed 29 more than 28. 28 just went on for too long and kinda felt like a slog outside of the Shadow 22 showdown at the end but it took way too fucking long to get there. Also shooting bombers is by far the worst thing in the entire game. Nothing is fun about them and that's like 70-80% of the mission.
>>749623225Mommy Kate knows what punishment works most effectively for each of her kids.>>749623271Level where you race Tasha through an underground maze and finally show that brat who actually is the better pilot?>>749623438The Immortals become the ultimate crayon eaters.
>>749623858>The Immortals become the ultimate crayon eaters.Well yeah, they didn't bring any pizza like the real legends do.
>>749623759>How you can feel nothing while Hortus Regis Alti blares as you're chasing Moon-11 around while she's slowly dying from her proto-Coffin while continuing to call out every move you make is beyond me.I played every game besides 6. Even assault horizon. Final bosses are a routine for me at this point. I was too busy trying to murder her to care about what she is saying. Also the series is suffering the classic syndrome of having that one guy that was just perfect and every final boss will always be inferior to the perfection they hit that one time.
>>749623164Listening to /v/ is almost as foolish as posting on it. Thankfully I do neioh shit.
>>749623327That doesn't happen but I agree that its weird as shit. Despite no one bringing up literally any of the other dozens of dead pilots or former Wings, Cope keeps being mentioned time and time again for literally no reason other than he is still a character only inside your head, and that the devs thought the players wanted to find who he was (despite this not being the case). But because he was a coward who only knew how to run they have to twist the dialogue to mention how much better you are, since otherwise the story wouldn't had happened.So it feels like a bitter girlfriend constantly bringing up her ex and how much better you are, which doesn't feel good at all to listen to.Its just bad writing, it would had been better if you had a couple of missions solo at first, while listening how everyone mentions this legendary ace, and after having him on your backseat tricking people he was piloting the plane, thats a perfect opportunity to have him trauma dump on you, then he can get killed.
>>749623941Guess I'm just lucky my first AC game was 7 because Mihaly was forgettable, the Arsenal Birds have literally no personality, and Hugin and Mugin don't have any gravitas despite sounding cool and being kinda spooky.
>>749623750>Tasha is incredibly immatureThats the whole point of her character, she isn't military so she isn't trained, and she is like 16. Thats why baxter is there, to balance her bratyness. She is supposed to feel like a little sister or your daughter or your GF>Kate has zero emotionsHer profile LITERALLY states that she keeps her emotions on check to keep the morale of her squadron. Her squadron isn't composed of little kids like tasha or coster, so she doesn't has to act motherly, but as an adult you are supposed to look at her like your queen (and you are the king)
>>749624379>Thats the whole point of her character>Her profile LITERALLY states Right. I get it that the game says they are mid. No need to be so emotional over game saying they are mid.
>>749623164It feels like they introduced 17 different plot points in the first 5 minutes of the story, but despite this being the longest game in the series BY FAR they only managed to wrap up like 3, some of them get dropped unceremoniously, others get like a 1 minutes "ok that's over now", BUT they also introduce like 5 more plots that go nowhere like the dudes that holed up in that bunker for like 10 missions. Like, the LONGEST cutscene in the game is with that Juanita girl or whatever, and her character serves no purpose and is never mentioned again.
>>7496231647's war was worse than 8's thoughAt least Sotoa invading FCU made more sense than Erusia invading FCU
>>749624565>the LONGEST cutscene in the game is with that Juanita girl or whatever, and her character serves no purpose and is never mentioned again.Was that when Rex and Baxter met Shadow 22 and Moon 11?The character herself had no purpose, but the whole point of that scene was to setup an old anime trope of foes meeting each other outside of their jets/mecha. The civilian was just there to give them a place to do it.
>>749623319AC9 better be either an AC3 remake or being about Simon releasing NEMO to kill the world because he is a turbo cuck
>>749624448Its fine if you don't like them, it just means you aren't japanese enough to enjoy japanese tropes, maybe go play god of war or something.
>coster has a mental breakdown cuz his bandmates get fucked>tasha steps the fuck up and breaks her no kill rule to protect himwaifu material
>>749624692Both of them feel like they were written by a japanese westaboo.
>>749624727She didn't like her brother suffering.
>>749624692t. Betacuck simping for mid foids
>>749623802>got spoiled on that suckerpunch missile from 22>Try to do a High G spiral to the left>Get hit anywayI didn't even see the fucking missile
>>749622824>Kino everytimeSomething intrinsic about this.
>>749624892I knew it was coming, I wasn't spoiled but I can tell I was about to be fucking understood but I had a ton of gun-enhancing parts and figured "you know what'd be really funny is if I shred his ass too fast"But Plot power got my ass man.
>>749624936Next game is going to have the mechanics from AC0 where you can kill or spare people and if you choose to spare everyone they all show up to help you in the end
>>749624806>brothersI thought they were fucking behind me and baxter's back
>>749623164For me it was just the excessive cutscenes. I felt some of them could be just audio. The fact a lot of them are mid-mission was egregious.
>>749625080I feel Coster is too autistic for that. Though they do play together a lot.
>>749624769Yeah? The whole fucking aces team is a bunch of weebs that like western planes, thats why you never see jap planes. Its LITERALLY top gun but written by japs with a hearty dose of anime physics. So every character is an anime trope, if someone doesn't like them its clearly because they don't like japanese writing, which is strange. Its like playing ace combat and complaining about the planes, its the fucking point of the game. If you are playing ace combat its because you like anime with military planes.
>>749623438They're navyfags anon.The crayons are suppositories. God some interbranch banter between the harrier pilots (marines) and Joker/Queen flight would've been gigakino.
>>749625161>Coster is too autistic for thatthats why tasha had her way with him and not the other way around
>>749623429The immortals are what actual boat crews are like IRL.We just want the sweet release of death.
NOBODY IS COMINGCOULD BE MY COFFINIF I BURNED LIKE A STAR WOULD YOU BE MY WITNESS
>>749624812>the story is saying I have to like this character>the other characters are saying hey you should like this character>said character features prominently in the story AND gameplay>said character is pivotal to both the plot and the emotional throughline >character has a good design that fits in the world>character also has a good voice actor, and good directing (in japanese)>but if you like the character you are a beta!Sure little bro, good comeback, you are making so much sense
>>749625332FOLLOW ME YOU WRETCHED SOULS!
>>749625308fuck off ffaggot
>>749625231I like anime planes. But the women they produce are sub par.
>>749625080I don't know what story you were reading, but they are clearly, EXPLICITLY portrayed as high energetic bratty little sister, and autistic but talented big brother. Also no one ever fucks and sex doesn't exist in ace combat, except for making more pilots. I like that they made this change from top gun, sex doesn't belong in strangereal.
>>749624981>Nah, I'd win.Such is the life of a pilot. Sometimes it works out, others its me crashing into the fucking ground.
>>749625512Dision and Yoko were fucking.
>>749623978You use to be able to listen to /v/ 20 years ago. I'd never had played God Hand or a bunch of other games otherwise
>>749624678I feel like the tragedy of simon is doing all this over a dead woman when he could have just created a perfect woman and called her nemo.
>>749625332>Immortals: << We were to take this Sotoan HQ and die yet we're still fucking alive! >>>Immortals << *Collective sad noises* >>
>>749625512Anon they're having sweaty post-flight sex and there's NOTHING you can do to stop it.
>>749625345CALL ME UPIGOT TO FEEL ALIVECALL ME UPISET ME FREE TO FLY
>>749623802Part of me wants to see them do this way more where a large majority of the dialog is directly based off player skill, but I feel like I'd spend hours on every single mission redoing it if I fuck up once to get the best dialog.
>>749621517Cute. Anymore of these?
>>749624892I just used flares and turned left lmao
>>749622736She tries to weasel her way into Joker squad like a homewrecker.
>>749625345
Hi guys I’ve been out of the loop, how is the game?
>>749626462Great
>>749626462Not great, not terrible. Holy Trinity still mogs these new games. Only 7babbys praise it.

>>749626338Its funny its left to Coster to reject her probably cause he's tired of hearing Kate riding Rex with his music doing nothing to drown it out and wants at least one nights sleep without the walls banging.
>>749625553Fiona was schlicking to nemo every post flightSimon watched it all
>>749621931Experimental
Please god I beg of all of you to please post Kate in some sweaty sports bra pictures. Yes this is my fetish
>>749626910Nah. Have a Tasha instead looking like her mum.

getting a lot of deviantart-tier art on my twitter that don't even give her nice lips. what are these people even looking at dude
>>749620567iirc they used catheters for some U2 missions, the poor fucking ladsThat's what you get flying for the CIA
>>749627194I love Kate so much bros it's unreal. I wish there was a cutscene in the game of all the squads in the endurance gym working out. Could have Coster listening to music, Baxter and Jenkins being a bro and helping you bench, Kate in a sports bra, Tasha being retarded.
>>749627086The question is would the Shadows freak the fuck out if they heard Spanish guitar music start to play?
For gameplay sake I will ask if anyone else got 360 no scopes by the bombers in mission 15? Those things were surprisingly nimble and hard to catch.>>749626969>>749627194Got any more? These are pretty hot actually.
So how long till the models get ripped and we see Pinky and Little Bee on SFM?
>>749627654the franchise is not big enough. Hell not even MGS Delta got much SFM.
>>749625632He is more of a bitter nerd than a gooner nerdHe would rather code the Basilisk that will end it all than make his perfect wifu bot
>>749627654I saw someone had models on deviantart but they were locked behind a patron.

>>749627002Deepwater jew
>>749627951and the F-15J
>>749627381No. That's top gun shit, american shit. We aren't going to have any kind of sexuality in the game, at all. Maybe ask the wingman devs to add that shit to their next game.
>>749616842>Finally beat Chandelier>With less than 8 seconds to goF-15 is not the play unfortunately. SFFS and XSDB don't contribute super well to the gun chamber damage phase because they only target things below you.The best combo is probably XSDB or 4AGM combined with LAGM.
>>749627476I'd love to have at least one squadron just straight up turn tail and run when Coster turns up the volume. I doubt those animals would recognize the significance of spanish guitars though.
>>749627951Unfortunately the F-35B that Japan uses (I might be mixing the variants up, I'm thinking of the STOVL one) isn't in the game.The SU-30's might come back in a battle pass too.
This is a list of AI aircraft in the game files that anon shared on /vg/su37su30m2su30smx02sf104zoefj37df05ef104avsu27f16fpkfa (yes, this is separate from the su57 in this list)a04fm25pdprvncaflknsu24su24mppamrgnephnxwyvnsfa44

I want to give this set up to tasha and see her twirl around
>>749629175Whoops. I meant to put the F-16F under the planes that could come back.IMO the biggest obstacle for bringing in more planes is the lack of weapon variety. without TLS, RG, or PLSL, you have less combinations of SP's to give the planes which leads to them being sort of samey within their category.

>>749629046I hate when my snake is a retard (most of the time) and does this. He's a lot bigger than this and even with tongs I worry he's gonna bite me by mistake.
>>749626462It's fucking great overall a big step up from 7 but it also lacks some kino sections. Some missions I can even say were boring even if it's always great narratively speaking. It's the best core gameplay of the series yet it also does nothing to the formula, doesn't even have the big levels from 6, no branching or style system, etcI think a 8/10 is fitting. Its a shame because the game is like, SO close to being a masterpiece
>>749631146Canards are gaySimple as
Kate in a vacbed
>>749631340Kate in a fishbed
is the flight model of this game just as arcadey as previous games? i stopped enjoying ac7 after having played msfs2042. flying feels so much better, just too bad msfs isn't a good game despite how good it feels to fly.
>>749632134uuum, so it's basically the same as AC7, but I wonder what you're doing because AC IS arcadey, but it's arcadey in a way that makes it feel like the planes just do what you want them to.Were you maybe playing on standard/novice controls and not 'expert/normal'? The former is unplayable and the latter is poorly named as 'expert' for no reason.
>>749617105It got really bad in last two days. I've all but given up.
>>749631265>got fucked by canards
>>749616842Do you seriously think "abit" is a word? Do ESL keyboards have defective space keys or something?
>>749616842Imagine them riding a black jet.
I was not aware there were so many fighter jet autists out there. Kind of shocked really.
>>749632251He's trying to start a pointless argument over sims vs AC.
>>749632613Since this movie came out? Since the sequel came out?
>>749632613fighter planes are the coolest thing on the planet, universally.
>>749632613Aircraft are modern horses
>>749632613We don't have giant robots, but we have fighter jets.
>>749632739What if fighter jets that can turn into giant robots
>>749632739fighter jets are just mecha but flat
>>749632794Project Aces needs that Macross license.
>>749632613This isn't a fighter jet autist series, it's just an anime game that happens to have planes. I don't care about planes but I like AC more than any series ATM
the perspective in the cover art is kinda confusing I still feel that the plane's about to fall even after looking at how it looks the same irl
>>749632981It's like a borzoi staring right at (You).
>>749632981Dont worry, the net will catch them
>>749616842too thin noses
Do you think Kate would dress up like Tasha if he asked?
It's funny that lower number means a stronger Shadow Squadron but the 33rd and 44th were absolute chumps to fight compared to the 99th in their annoying F-22's
>>749633296I misread that as Kate dressing Tasha if asked and I thought how strange but Kate would have a motherly instinct to do so.
>>749632664I mean, I liked the original Top Gun too, but not because jets were cool. It's all the stupid 80s surrounding the jets, the jets are merely a catalyst.
>>749633303Tasha should have died immediately in that fight, and caused Baxter and Coster to spiral the rest of the game.
>>749633431I just want to see kate in a tube top/tank-top thing that's 2 sizes too small for her.AI people, you know what to do! Don't pretend like you aren't looking for excuses to post more.
You saved Emu, didnt you, /v/?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzn_AklzR-E
>>749633585>flirts with you and offers to be your wingman if she stays aliveYes it was worth it
>>749632840So Ace Combat is still worth trying if you don't care even a little bit about jets?
>>749633664yeah they're good games
>>749616842Pretty easy to forget the story when they're always dogshit.Ace Combat Zero is quite literally the only exception.
>>749633661MY WINGMAN IS MY PERFECT WIFE KATE!
>>749633585Not on my first playthrough because I didn't even realize it was an option. I recall PA stating during an early interview how your gameplay can determine if characters live or die, but I guess the only character that got that implemented was her.
>>749633735AC0's story isn't really good either, it just has the best characters of any of the games.
>>749633741To be fair she offered before everyone knew Kate was alive, also Coster cucking you from it too.
>>749633664Yes. think Yakuza. Don't know shit or care about Japanese mafia but it's kino story and characters
>>749633664I mean if you like Mecha anime at all then you will like Ace Combat. There is a reason why the franchise can be described as a mecha anime with fighter jets.
>D.D. told Enso that the Endurance has 16 planes on standby...
>>749633498Imagine the trash talk Baxter would've unleashed in that timeline. Topkek would not let it slide, your mission would end at Rio Bajo.
I really hope they add in the Nosferatu in a future update. I want to try out M28 with ADMM spam Gracemaria-style.
>>749634070>Propaganda becomes true at the end
<< THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO RU- >> *static*It's over faggots, the ace combat protag is now here to clutch the war.
>>749634465MORE PLANES
>>749634495We should have a sort of semi-parody AC game that follows the formula of doom 2016. The game would functionally be the same, but it's just overt that the pilot is a mute freak who only cares about massacring enemy pilots and the commanders are just trying to aim his rage in a productive direction.
>>749634632wtf are they gonna go fight the space ships from independence day?
>>749633813Characters are what make stories work.
>>749634632>what I see moments before blacking out and waking up to another mission success screen and the "kill 3000 sotoans" achievement
>>749634834Yeah, I agree, I'm just saying, the problem wasn't the plot, any of the AC games could have all been basically zero quality if they had more memorable characters.
>>749634771
Should we have had a scene with Kate giving Tasha and Coster a motherly talking to?
>>749635124Kate is more like older depressed sister
>>749634895Think it's an anime thing. Hard to get invested in a bunch of heightened stereotypes. Very few animes manage to write engaging characters, and AC is basically a playable anime.
>it's not just the remnants of shadow squadron>it's 1000 bandits
>>749635124We should've had a scene with Kate being turned into a mother.
>>749635203Considering at the start of the game she has to babysit both Joker and Queen flight I'd say she has that exhausted mother vibe going for.
>>749635336I still demand my >FPV kate riding rex in the cockpit cutscene. I was robbed.
>>749635336One step at a time.
>>749635343It also kind of ties in with Baxter and Rex essentially being the dads in Joker squad to Coster/Tasha. Baxter then dies and then Kate comes in as the mom.
>>749635435>Rex we should both take out flight suits off> NO>…Will you do it if I tell you it will help you kill more Sotoans?> YES
>>749626969
>>749622567>talking shit about the Professor of racism
>>749635571Every time I read this my head reads it as>You nomads aren't really people, are ya?
>>749635563Glad I am not the only person who thought that.
>>749635092haters will call this fake
>>749635741considering he has a line that goes>are we even the same species? you're pretty much on the mark
>>749635495The idea of having a sex scene with the yes/no prompts is killing me
Would you like AC more or less if it had more natural dialogue? It can still keep the over the top melodrama and anime, shit, but what if it were written by really good writers and VA'd by really good actors? Would losing some of the camp make it worse?
>>749635092kinda makes me wish for a Star Trek collab.
>>749635904Considering that AC is kind of preachy already then yeah. Whole dialogue currently is pretty much them trying too hard. If it flowed naturally I suspect people would be drawn in far more to the characters and plot.
>>749635904it could dial it back a bit, it's so ridiculous sometimes. hurr we need le card to make le straight. every fucking mission.
>>749635895>Yes she rides you>No she peggs you
>>749635904It already needs to lose the bad anime dialogue, the shitty dialogue doesn't fit the hyper realistic character models and cutscenes anymore, it was fitting when it was literal anime but when you have a scene that's trying to be a tense Tarantino style confrontation with the villain and they talk like an autistic nerd it doesn't really feel coherent
So, what the fuck was that sub gargling? It's kinda creepyLike a german AI U-Boat
>>749636030>THIS IS DEALER>YOU DID IT, YOU’RE LIKE WILD CARDS>ALMOST LIKE A FLIGHT OF JOKERS>WHEN YOUR CARD IS DRAWN ITS LIKE WE CAN DO ANYTHINGI was fine with the penal unit missions in AC7 making card plays and having Gambler who satisfyingly dies during a gamble, but JESUS AC8 was bad about this
>>749636030Dealer was a little TOO much most of the time. Also honestly I don't think the VA did a good job. I don't know if he really has that rigid a british accent, but he sounded really stilted all game in a way most of the other characters didn't.
Alright, next is all S on Ace
>>749636165>and they talk like an autistic nerd it doesn't really feel coherentFixing this is unironically outside the capabilities of japanese game developers. Maybe they could bring some Pols on to help, but they can't do it alone.
>>749636201I don't think his british. He was actually streaming AC8 on youtube and I didn't hear a british accent in his normal voice.
how the fuck do you get an S-Rank on "Thousand points of light" i've done 3 runs but i keep getting As and Bs
>>749636279he's*
>>749635904Nah, the camp is what makes it great. I want to hear cheesy stuff and Dealer make gambling jokes as I destroy Sotoans and see them baked alive.
>>749636292KILL MORE SOTOANSADMM SPAM
>>749636292kill everythinguse HPAA’s to quickly down bombers in one hitsqueeze as much time as you can out of the shadows showdown and use the extra time within reason to keep shooting down banditsA score of about 150,000 is around what you need for S
>>749632351Tabloid was a Belkan thirst trap
very frustrating that the dialogue is so fucking bad because the overarching story in 8 is legitimately pretty good. oh well I can just turn off the dialogue in future playthroughs and ignore all the pointless yes/no prompts
Would you play a dynasty warriors style Ace Combat game?
>>749636370>and see them baked alive.Genuinely didn't even realize why the CO of the battleship kept repeating the same line after a while until I watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH_j2lnQNrU
>>749636201>>749636279It's Diplomat from Project Wingman, he's an american.
>>749636497truly sickening image, kill yourself asap
>>749636497I fantasized about an Ace Combat-esque Mount & Blade game complete with aerial fortresses and megaweapons.
>>749636370This anon gets it.If it wasn't for the campiness and the over the top shit we probably wouldn't get characters like Torres
>>749636292Shoot down all bombersStay near the airfield when dogfighting so you can restock easilyMake the most of the limited-time ESM you get from one of the allied squadrons to down as many fighters as possibleKil the shadows as quickly as possible
>>749634701I want friendly fire and a certain amount of it being looked over since we kill so many more of the ennemies
>>749635904Yes. I prefer it the dialogue to be like other war games similar to CoD and Battlefield. I skip most cutscenes but the radio stuff doesn't help any.
>>749636268I don't remember the last time I played a Kojima game but I feel like he kind of managed to bridge that gap. His games are full of retarded, funny anime dialogue but its human and western enough that it doesn't feel completely out of place. I also feel like kojima is a specific inspiration for a lot of modern AC cutscenes, they need a hyper westaboo who watches enough western films.Also the Fromsoft games somehow managed to avoid this problem completely with their souls shit.
>>749636604Torres is annoying desu
I'm gonna need more of you to chernobyl post, please and thank you.
>>749636498they try to paint the sotoans as influenced by enso to do their dirty work in the war yet you have sotoan officers that do shit like thisunironically I was ready for missions after 28 to just say fuck it we’re going to sotoa to level everything above ground level
>>749636604It'd be impossible to set up heavy-handed scenes where fighter jets are juxtaposed with knights or having what should be professional flight officers talking about the afterlife while engaging in a dog fight with the enemy. It's part of the reason why Assault Horizon failed, I think. Grounding the gameplay in any amount of realism causes this weird-ass sense of bwuh.
>>749636476Should have made the story more about family.
>>749636834I like him, but baxter's hair pisses me off.
>>749626462It's like 90% of the way to what I'd consider a perfect Ace combat game desu.It's not there, but it's close enough.
>>749635904the anime stuff is what hold the games back
>>749625512Holy fuck, are they just Scream and Rage without the insanity?
>>749636604So much of the kino in Ace Combat comes from the campy moments.
>>749636791The entire war is the death throes of an entire nation and its culture. The tragedy lies in the ironic fact that the Sotoans are probably the last people who may get to their afterlife, as afterwards there will be nothing but the digitization of the soul and a massive push for transhumanism and immortality in Sublimation.
>>749636645I don't get this. Why even play Ace Combat then? It's a japanese series about fighter jets that can fire 200 missiles at huge super weapons. It's like complaining that Metal Gear has goofy shit. It's what makes it unique. Why do you want things to be boring and overly serious? >>749636761Shut up. He's awesome and his crazy character is what made the DLC memorable.
>>749636906No, the anime stuff is fine, we don't want cod or AH. But the low quality and inhuman dialogue are problems.
>>749636906open channel comms in and of itself is anime and that shit is key to the storytelling. the writing is just shit.
>>749623164The endurance isn't exploited enough past the first dozen missions desu, the whole fort gray arc is stupid and should have been replaced with more endurance crew screentime.That and the last couple mission are padded out and could have been organised better.
>>749637000>Why even play Ace Combat then?The gameplay is separate from the story
every single mission except 28 has been an S rank on ace difficulty first try. Oh mission 25 as well but that was just because of the sam spam killing me a few times. But 28 is bullshit, how the fuck am I supposed to get to such a high score for the ranking?Dealing with the shadows at the end is bullshit enough, it's barely enough time to kill all 4 of them with me having to land multiple times just to restock missiles because they dodge 99% of them.But I killed like every single bomber and FAST, 1 hit kills with the FA-36 and SASM / HPAA. I just don't understand how to get enough points, I take out like every single bomber myself and kill a ton of other aircraft and I can still only get like 120k points. How many points do I even need for the S rank?Should I be flying out to the bombers or just staying at the base and waiting for them to come to me? I just don't know what I should be doing to get enough fucking points on this retarded mission
>>749637152>The gameplay is separate from the story90% of the fucking story happens in-game.
>>749636921You know what, yeah and after spending the game with Rex they should have become just as insane by the end
>>749636165Nigga AC0 had literal real people on the scenes and it was the shit. No, go play your shitty american game if you want that, we here love the anime shit with planes. Also you only think it sounds bad because you are playing with the shitty EN dub
>>749637185>using missiles on shadow squadKWAB
>>749616842God I wanna cum on Kate's kill count back tattoo so much
>>749636906Imagine they listen to this retard and we get another assault horizon
>>749637298yeah, the AC 0 story was shit precisely because of the retarded mix of live action and stupid anime dialogue. If you liked anime you wouldn't be calling for live action and hyper realistic cutscenes where the characters talk like autistic retards. you would be asking for more AC 3 or 4.
>>749636532he's an england-born chilean
>>749635571><<That's a Sotoan for you... You people really are disgusting, worthless fucking niggers that need to be put down like dogs, aren't ya?>>kind of uncalled for, sam raimi went too far this time
>>749637485terribly interested to see how they handle the potential AC3 remake next. it was kind of a retread of GitS but now we have the weight of 5 whole games behind it.
>>749635092Former Sotoan pilot Karpot here, it's true, I was there when it happened! A overwhelming number of highly advanced aircraft, I'd say a 1000 at least! Otherwise how could I- I mean, we have lost? I was lucky I survived, I heard those FCU pilots were shooting at parachutes!
>>749636292First focus on bombers, ignore fighters, start on top right of map and continue down. Kill only TU-95s, when TU-160s spawn go after them, you can get bonus ace kill there too. After that go back killing bears, you can resupply. After bears go after B-1s. Then you will have map cleared of all bombers and you can focus on high value fighters like F22, F35, SU35, SU37, Typhoons.. stay near base so you can resupply when needed. When the timer goes to last minute be ready to resupply for fight with shadows. I recommend using SASM and GUN. They will carry you through this. Upgraded SASM one shots bombers on direct hit, and it's pretty nice against shadows too. GUN will destroy bombers and will carry you in shadows fight.
>>749637185intercept the bombers and just go down the line nailing them with an HPAA, or raze them with guns. Guns have a huge hit area and the bombers are huge targets so they’re trivial if your HPAA is reloading. At the right altitude and approach you can easily just rake whole flights of them.Once the TU-160’s and B2’s start spawning try your best to intercept them as the furball starts to form over Cima Island. Restock as needed, kill everything. Take advantage of Magnolia’s ECM to spam as many missiles as possible since it also buffs the reload massively. For the shadows, git gud. But seriously, missiles almost flat out do not work on them. I got one lucky kill on a freak joust at less than 200m on 22, and the timer (12 seconds left) ran out while he was still monolouging about his defeat and I got a mission fail. Use guns to down them wherever possible while spamming missiles if you have them. They are extremely vulnerable to gunfire while doing a kulbit, and they tend to joust you if you approach from far away.You need upwards of about 150,000 points for S.
>>749637485You really think serious nip live action movies have different dialogue? Its not anime, thats how japs write nigga. Literally go watch a zatoichi movie from the 60s, exact same dialogue. You are just a retarded westerner that thinks anime is bad because...insert whatever nonsense reason here. Yet here you are, playing anime games.No nigga jap culture isn't going to change, despite your long nosed overlords efforts. Learn to like it or leave, its that easy.
>>749637152No, it isn't. Ace Combat's story and gameplay have been tied together since 3. It's the soul of the series and has been ever since. There's a reason fans tell newcomers to avoid the western release of 3 since you miss a lot of content, and the game turns into a simple arcade shooter. AC4, 5, and Zero are all remembered for their stories. When people talk about Ace Combat in these threads, they talk about Yellow 13, Mobius 1, Razgriz, Kei Nagase, Cipher, and fucking << Hey, buddy. Still alive? >> for a reason. So no, Ace Combat is only Ace Combat because of the story tied to its amazing gameplay.
>>749637273You can play conquest mode in Project Wingman and arcade mode in AC5 without a story needed for gameplay to function. The fact you can tell a cutscene from actual gameplay is hilarious.
>>749637623people just have to accept the japanese VO. english speaking people sound weird as fuck talking like that. anime dubs are bad because of the cultural clash, not the VO quality. you really need a localizer for it to work but that's a whole other can of worms.
kill yourselves weebs
>>749636978>The entire war is the death throes of an entire nation and its culture. The tragedy lies in the ironic fact that the Sotoans are probably the last people who may get to their afterlifeIt is pretty fucked up when you put it like that>the Sotoan people live as nomads in beautiful grasslands>they destroy it to industrialize, killing their way of life in the process>their culture is held up purely by larping nobility that have never even seen a sheep up close>they sing a song about peace while killing countless innocentsIt also gives perspect to Rex being called Terminus Fingers and The High King, even the Sotoans realize they've fucked up, and named the enemy ace rhat's killing entire generations of their people after the god of their religion.
>>749637758No, I think localizers can't really make a good job regardless. Heres a photo of the FIRST page of my copy of the consolation of philosophy, 6th century. This is how a good localization looks, 3 lines, rest of the page are notes on the localization. Its simply impossible to do in a game. The only way to do it is when the setting makes sense for it, like in cowboy bebop, metal gear solid, or bayonetta.
>>749635472Rex's bloodlust should have rubbed off more on Tasha and Coster. Would have made Baxter proud they were going to exterminate all Sotoans.>>749637592Will they jump straight to it or will they make another game directly leading up to it next? Cause the whole Enso plot in AC8 was watery as hell yet they are trying to tie characters and events from previous games together.
>>749637987see this is what I mean. under the hood, the bones of the plot are great. it's the surface level stuff that is all crap.
>>749637610what craft would you recommend for SASMs? the 15C?
Trigger should have showed briefly in mission 28 stopping the rest of the bombers and escorts while you go deal with topkek.
>>749638128>Will they jump straight to it or will they make another game directly leading up to it next?AC9's either going to take place after the Intercorporate War or during it, but with Doniphan Conglomerate as a major player. If it's the latter, we're not getting Nemo until AC10.
>>749638321Should have been Tasha's mom commanding the Yukes.
>>749638128sex with tasha in the cockpit
>>749637987Cope calling out Tewy as a fake shepherd while she was explaining herself was such a great moment. Cope's voice in Rex's head was a fun addition to the formulae.
>>749637592>AC3 was a ripoff of Ghost in the Shell (1995)>AC9 can be a ripoff of Ghost in the Shell (2026)It's like pottery, they rhyme...
>>749638478She's like barely 16!
>>749638637it'll never happen, that would mean animated cutscenes and having an epic wacky cartoon character female wingman that still manages to be incredibly charismatic instead of retarded and awkward
>>74963866120, actually.
>>749638128I imagine they'd probably have 9 set around 2044, it is mentioned that reconstruction would take about 15 years.Maybe they'll do a AC3 remake before 9, expect this time it's not a simulation.
>>749638637
>>749638321>Trigger:><<. . .>>>Rex:>[Yes]the levels of kino would've shattered the sky.
>>749638440Should've been the ghost of Torres commanding a ghost ship version of the Alicorn.
>7 secondaries
>DRᴀuGR>FᴀMmJR
>>749638818>Tasha><< You can't say that! Can they say that?! >>>Baxter><< Finally someone who gets it! >>
>LAGER LAGER LAGERthe Triumphant just wants a pint
>>749638504I really don't get why some people bitch about Cope. The fact the PA also established that there is a spiritual side to Strangereal and Pilot Valhalla seems to be a thing makes sublimation even more horrifying as a concept.
>>749626969Is her Blender model out?
>>749639001hearty kek
>>749626969I do not like sweaty womenI do not like green eggs and hamI do not like women with tattoos
Everflow probably should have been used in mission 27 or 28 (or a better mission 30) instead of the first half of 29
>>749639046I liked Cope's commentary, especially because they didn't go the coward route and made him some kinda meta narrator, but full on>guess I'm haunting you, until my score is settled
>>749639046Feels weird to add fantasy elements to a fairly grounded sci-fi franchise.
>>749639804most headass post of the day award
>>749639285>Cope asking what he is in a slightly hurt voice when you tell Tasha ghosts aren't real.
>>749639804Someone said it before, but AC8 is very much a ghost story. The ghost story of the Wing of Theve and how it always comes back to the battlefield, of the mystery of Jan and his haunting of (You) as you assume the grisly mantle of Wing, of the afterlife where all Sotoan souls go when they die and why Jan was left behind.
>Kate shows up and does fuck allWould have been better Tasha's mom showed up with the Yukes instead of rando mercs
>>749640846>tasha’s mom and tewy meet each other>they ride around on their wheelchairs mock dogfighting one another yelling FOX 2 FOX 2
just finished AC:0they called me...the demon lordthey called me...the false hero
>>749641021>nuh uh you didn't hit me, i psm'd your missile>yeah huh i hit you>nuh uh>well i got you with my guns while you were in your flip>nope they were blocked by my shield drones
Did they patch the game so I don't have to close every other application to not get UE5 crashes yet?
>>749636370I like the idea of an actual psychopath in a jet.The main character is just a serial killer.Just wants to kill as many people as possible.
>>749633664Ace Combat is just Armored Core with added emphasis on forward momentum.
>>749629046My favourite boy is surprisingly good until you can get the really top shelf stuff, especially with mobility parts, plus there's a high volume of missions where getting to things real -fuckin- fast is helpful.
>>749642414>Murder mystery but with jets.Colonel mustard in the round table with a fishbed, that kind of thing?
>>749639046My Belkan Normal Day/Conspiracy theory is that it's Aces way ultimately to dip their toe in and see how people would feel if the story gets weird so they can work out how to re-integrate with electrosphere, which, for people who have only played seven may be pretty fucking weird. Or maybe not we're already in corporate singularity hell.
>>749637758>anime dubs are bad because of the cultural clash, not the VO quality.Anime dubs sound bad because I bet the EN team that does the VO doesn't even know what the VO work is for. That is why the EN characters feel disconnected from each other. The way they speak is like grade school English, like a sentence that ends with a question mark changing in pitch.
>>749635904Less. The campiness is part of the charm.
>mfw Baxter legitimately says "Are we even the same species?" and it's not a Sam Raimi meme
>>749628978After Blamco did with Tekken? I expect them to be seasonal DLC packages.
>>749623524Your harsh criticism of Russia is acknowledged and your recommendation of their genocide noted
>>749642508>use the 31B against the high speed bombers>mfw i'm pulling mach 3 and they're still outrunning me
>>749637758No, even to the Japanese the characters in anime and their tokatsu stuff sound stupid and ridiculous...it's amusing that you thought otherwise lol
>>749616842they love me only and have sex with me only and not weak loser nerds who play their game!
>>749644771I did that mission with the F/A-18E with as many air-to-air damage mods as I could get.Having someone in an ECM/ESM plane to back you up would help, too.
>>749643939>make the black guy the most racistIt's just like real life.
Anyone else actual lean backwards when they do a close ground pull up in game?
>>749623164literal brown girl boss
>>749647393She was chill though.
>>749647172no, but i tilt my head left and right to line to up with the horizon all the timei love doing bombing runs in these games so close calls with the ground no longer phase me
You wouldn't a Sotoan
>>749647172I tuck my head down whenever I get too close to the ceiling in tunnel runs.
>>749648038I'd fuck Gemma 1, she sounds cute
>>749623438Which colour is her favourite?
>>749621774
>>749647172I scream irl when my plane is about to explode, pull my imaginary ejection seat and rp being ejected.
>that dude that survived 4 ejections>Died ejecting inside a tunnelI was laughing for like 5 minutes
>>749627194>pit hairthe fuck. is this real
>>749638135Shit fuck yeah you are right. If they could've dug their fingers deeper into that type of 'we're throwing everything we got at the world because we have nothing left' it really would've given them something more than just warmongering dogs.
>>749648342it's very obviously ai slop
>>749647864She is NOT chill. She yells at you all the time. She's not even the captain.
>>749648342yeah I took some pictures of her when she was in my room. I'll send you more if you get me some smokes.
>>749635904Especially with where the series is headed, yes they need to retire Katabuchi and get a new lead writer. He was barely equipped to handle the social media angle they went with in this game, he sure as fuck won't be able to handle a cyberpunk corp war. The cheesiness and anime melodrama are kind of baked into the series' identity at this point but we've seen how well it can be done in the non-Katabuchi written games like 0 and 3 so I don't really mind it.
>>749648510Did you go deaf? Every time she yells at you she says she was kidding 5 seconds later.
>>749642414Every fighter pilot wants a legit kill they can tattoo on their ass though
>>749648510She's pretty chill for the immediate XO of a Vice Admiral aboard an ancient WW2-era aircraft carrier fighting an originally losing war against the Mongolian hordes.
>>749642414Great. Now I want Twisted Metal but with fighter jets.
>>749635904>but what if it were written by really good writers and VA'd by really good actorsThen you'd have Ace Combat Zero
>>749647172I was in a tight low altitude dogfight and just barely crashed into a mountain, nearly pulled myself out my chair with how far I was leaning into that pull.
>>749648201What happens when you forget where your imaginary ejection seat handle is?
>>749650971lol retard
>>749627086There should be a Purple Magic cover of Song of Wings
It's me, Rex "Nugget-fryer 3000"
>>749652268I prefer Rex "Sotoan Pizza Oven 900"
Is there a non-hyperv crack for this yet? I've been avoiding spoilers since release, so I don't wanna scroll the thread.
>>749652448not yet, sorry.
>>749638321>Trigger coming in in his personal f-104 >Strider squad now lead by Húxiān coming after him trying to stop an international incident>One of the guys from flying mole squadron going <<See! I told you I knew him! But you didn't believe me. Now you all owe me 20 bucks>>Might as well throw some of the Sol Squad with the other Shilagians too
I’m tired to see pink haired cunt. Is the game even worth it?
>>749652963lol noits woke garbage
>>749616842Do they puke in story mode?
>shoot down these anti-ship missiles>whoops here's a missile container and you have to dodge a bunch of Macross missiles>repeat x10 until the sub is forced to surface by an event flag>sure hope you brought some really strong bombs, especially for the last roundMission 30 was a bit of a letdown after the comparatively awesome Tewi-catapult in 29.
I will not play this game because Tasha is not your gfThis has turned me off the whole franchise
>>749650971Buffed UGB can pierce through walls, no need to suicide run like that.
Baxter made it to the Promised Land and is gunning down filthy fucking Sotoans to his heart's content
>>749654785>The Garden of the High King is real and all pilots go there>that means any pilot that was brutally killed bu Sotoans during the Yuke-Sotoa and FCU-Sotoa wars is now stuck in the Sotoan Afterlife
>>749654932>All those dead pilots become the ACTUAL Terminus Fingers
>>749653621with ace combat games you either get an extremely high octane finale or a victory lap. No real inbetween. Same thing happened with 7, the drone fight was kind of lackluster. I honestly didn't care for fighting the sub, way too much exposition for a bunch of cruise missile interceptions. Maybe if we had the opportunity to guide more than 1 spear it would've been kino
>>749655015> super-advanced technology and AI in one side>fantasy bullshit in the otherRegardless of what Project Aces leans on next time, Strangereal is kinda fucked either way lol.
>>749655482I'm already getting hyped for AC9: Nemo's Machine Empire vs. The Spirit Aces of Strangereal
>>749617565I grinided to shit in early access and won over 20 mvps in a row in pvp and kept winning scooping most of the awards before I got bored. The game is dogshit grind 2 win with insane unfun restrictions. Certain missles are simply absurdly overpowered and airframes don't perform as expected. My score was routinely in the 80k plus mark. I'm not logging in for a handful of matches a day before my rewards get stopped. Getting a plane above level 15 is a massive grind especially on the later models. The ace pass is insane. Even with 30 free levels I only managed to get to level 65 with 20+ hours of non stop matches. The pve mode is boring and pays less zoll which is along with general purpose blueprints the most important currency. You won't be able to be competitive at all when I destroy half the targets before you can even lock on. Enjoy shooting nothing for 3 dozen hours before you get a competitive plane and by that point you're bored as fuck anyway. Terrible online mode.
>>749655693>skynet and its terminators vs that ghost army scene from lord of the ringshell yeah
>>749648268muscle memory
>>749654785It would've been so funny if Baxter started to be the other voice inside your head, spouting racist shit to Sotoans.
>>749656919><<Man, fuckin' n****s did me in, huh?>>
mg only campaign mode sounds horrible even on the easiest difficulty. im supposed to strafe all the tanks? thatll take forever
so are the experimental planes multiplayer only? i beat the game and i dont think i got any cool new plane
>>749657302You checked the aircraft tree? There's supposed to be 3 new planes.
do you get anything in the multiplayer mode for beating ace difficulty or all S ranks ace? or just the skins and emblems for beating the campaign once?
>>749657081guns are very good in this game, mgp fishbed will make short work of it
>>749625345>Now that we're down a guitarist and drummer, this bassist is a one-man band. So it's time for me to go.Mission 3 and Mission 8 were so kino
>>749657081It just takes some practice to line your shots up, it takes 2-3 hits at most to take out ground units
I wish we didn't have to defend the airfield in mission 28 and could have just focused on plane musou without all the bombers.
Must be nice to have a gf who’s into cosplay and shit. I hate boring chicks so much it’s unreal
>>749651971Coster wrote the song. It was too late for them to hear it by the time he finished it
>>749653621>>749655405Mission 30 Really could have done with a tunnel run IMO
>>749658446>cosplay gfsi wouldn't, anon, i have only heard horror stories
The elevator crash fakeout was pretty good.
>>749658698faster
>https://youtu.be/4JN1zin816MThis song should have been in the campaign instead of online only.
>>749658669such as?
>>749651971The intro guitar riff is from Purple Magic, so even when they're gone, they're still with you in that final battle. ;_;7
>>749642651Kek>>749654932Cipher must be still alive because the resulting warp storm if he went up there for a round two would engulf Strangereal.>>749655693>These pilots fight like they're demons!>Oh shit they are fucking demons what the hell is going on?
