It's okay, I'd call it fun but not a must-play. I played with tilt controls which made it more memorable but definitely more frustrating. It's neat to see gameplay more focused around guns instead of missiles (and different kinds of guns, cannons, shotgun-like flechettes, air burst rounds). There's also an early version of AC7 style upgrade parts.
Story you would hope to be good with the movie tie in, but the pace of cinemas feels kinda slow. Not a surprise the movie didn't do great either.
Overall the quality and level of polish feels noticeably less than the actual ace combat games too.
I'd still rank it way above Assault Horizon though.
>>
What's the Ace Combat for tanks?
>>
>>579191859
There isn't one. Unfortunately, all the developers with the autism required to make a tank game that has everything correctly modelled are also going to have obsessive detail with their mechanics and suck all the fun out of it.
>>
Did Belka/Schroider/Grunder actually do anything wrong in AC7?
Wasn’t the drone stuff just strictly business? Its not like they manipulated Erusea’s chud officer corps to go to war.
>>
>>579191859
>>579192027
Yeah there's very fee fast, fun, arcade-ish tank games and none with a realistic theme. There are a scant few PS1/N64 tank games that are more sci-fi.
It's a desperately loose fit but I'm gonna say Valkyria Chronicles.

Call me a doomposter but I'm genuinely kinda worried about AC8's MP.

Namco hasn't delivered a good MP experience in quite a while at this point, the microtransaction store is surely going to have its own paid premium currency which will, if I had to guess, paywall stuff like the classic skins like the ACZ ones and new ones in the future too. (Without even mentioning that it'll most likely be how you get customization for your lobby character).

While I don't mind the idea of having new planes be released with every battlepass, with a variety of decent gamemodes (like co-op strikes) this could be a somewhat okay experience IF supported over the long term.

What I'm worried about is that the unending glazing of Infinity has told them "oh, people want ACI again!" without taking in that most of ACI's content immediately becomes unfun if someone pulls out a single overpowered super custom exclusive variant of a plane, which we might be getting with stuff like contracts and blueprints teased in some of the earlier material.
So even in co-op, you're gonna get someone in a Su-37 Rena which is just gonna decimate everything, leave nothing for you and make you feel useless, just like in ACI.

I hope to be wrong about this

My prediction: It's gonna be marginally better than AC:I in that if you nolife the game, you can get to the endgame plane in a couple weeks, since you're not capped by fuel. So at least "everybody" will have the end game plane.
BUT obviously the battle passes will be a big part. They are going to power creep with a new "best" plane every month or two. Hopefully they are smart enough not to start us out on fictional planes so you still see realistic stuff in the lobby. Or maybe planes are more of a skin, and upgrade parts are the real power creep.
It's really gonna come down to this:
>Are paid battle pass planes way better than free ones?
>Does it take FOREVER to grind out good stuff without spending money?
They can easily fine tune this to their liking both at launch and as new passes come up. So its really up to how much Bamco cares about short term profit vs building their brand. God help us if we see some outside studio credited with multiplayer support. YMMV with how much you nolife.

Bro mission 5 is a score attack mission. Half of the game's missions are score attack missions actually. But the non-score attack missions are all rather short affairs, especially the first four.

Look man, there's a difference between "This specific combination of parts and weapons is slightly better than other options and gives me a slight competitive advantage" and "This $DLC plane wipes the entire map with a single button press and is clearly superior to everything else in the game and requires zero effort or skill".

The former is unavoidable, the latter is a huge dev mistake. The former is also completely fine and only "ruins" your game if you're compfag that cares about some rating number while the latter just legitimately ruins the game for everyone.
>>
>>579286739
>>579285206
This is honestly something that's always bugged me about Ace Combat mission design, destroying the mission-critical TGTs ends the mission prematurely. So you're encouraged to intentionally ignore the last TGT while you go after other targets if you want a better rank.
I wish it worked more like old school space sims(Tie Fighter, Freespace) where completing your primary objective let you dock/hyperspace away and end the mission but didn't force you to do it immediately, you could stay and rack up points if you wanted.
Ace Combat could do this with the return line. If you cross the return line (or land on an in-mission airfield or carrier) after the main objective is complete the mission ends but you can choose to stay and clean up other targets if you want to(for player convenience the mission would automatically end once they destroy all available targets so they don't have to fly over an empty map).
