Welcome back DFM
>>582952829whoever VAd coster did a bangup jobhis anguish hearing purple magic get railgun'd was palpable
>>582952727of course i do
>>582952829Even when completely fucking depressed those two are always together. Very cute.
I like the story beats and supporting cast of 8 but 7 had much better wingmen it's not even close. Kate baxter and tasha have their moments but tasha and coster spend half the game crying. quip for my enjoyment stop crying be count and húxiān
>>582952829Watching Baxter die a slow death from bleeding out is far more brutal death compared to someone just being blown up.>>582953070I honestly wonder how much radio chatter I even missed because aside from Mission 14 I don't think the chatter ever stops and pushing forward too early changes the chatter to reflect what is going on.
I feel bad about shooting down all the GAME nuggets
how the fuck did I not notice the ISAF emblem on your escape plane the first time I did mission 14
>>582953139>7 had much better wingmen???its funny you say this when the literal only two wingmen anyone even remembers is count and huxian (and the latter only because she punches a higher ranking officer in a DLC mission)>>582953301the rebel herc also has an ISAF emblem
>>582953217>Nuggets shoot down Kate in the next missionNah. Fuck 'em. I take pleasure in massacring them.
How long does it take for Bandai to respond to a case file? They didn't send me a game code.
>>582953217nah it was awesome how you rape them so hard their leader literally domes herself out of shame
The faggots who just focus you all game have to be the most gay players in the series. Like holy fuck, do something else you fucking niggers. Bad enough that you're flying a Morgan.
>>582953301she's an old lady
>>582953129Coster probably gets with Tasha. People can head canon Rex with Kate considering the epilogue.
Online is going to need a whole ass rework if this is expected to last. Missions are too short, no craft score restrictions, no team balancing of any kind.
>>582953470if you leave one of the two veteran flanker pilots alive he convinces her to keep living for tomorrow
>you can only do scramble onceLame.
>>582953348count huxian, dirty dirty things guy, the entire penal unit, wiseman, Local Good Dad were all great. the lsrg had two kinda there guys and they overcorrected in the dlc when they realized they had no air time
>>582953615Maybe I am the real monster.
>>582953615sorry I needed the points bro
>>582953672>dirty dirty things guythe guy who does nothing for the three missions you have with him but throw you under the bus?and baxter did the cool black guy mentor shtick 100x better than wiseman (who jobbed like a bitch)
looney tunes qaam
>mission 1 to 15 so this a generation run of back to back bangers right? the game only plateaus a bit with the rio bahou stuff imo
>>582953076no one's comingcould be my coffinif i fell like a star, would you be my witness? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiWcMkTjMLo
>AI enemies use the YF-23 in multiplayer>YF-23 is not in the campaign tech tree ot mp plane shopThe fuck?
>>582954009coster sobbing while the instruments slowly die out one by one
>>582954054Now you know what's in the next battlepass in 62 days
aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA
>>582953971It's like AC5 except the missions are actually good. It still has a stupid, boring, autoplay mission where you fly a subsonic aircraft through a canyon midway through. But so many of these missions are so fucking good, target density is just right so that you can clear them efficiently without ever feeling like there's nothing to do, with a few exceptions. M24 and M25 heavily rely on infinite respawns if you use UGBs to instadelete all the ground forces
i love you F22 raptor
>multiplayer unengaging enough that i'm already putting youtube on the second monitorThey really need to unfuck the multiplayer or it's going to die extremely quickly.
Sotoa ended up being one of the more fleshed out antagonists in AC, but I still wish they showed us more background/cultural stuff. Aces of War should have some extra lore stuff right?
So after 8 attempts of trying to get past mission 28 with constant crashes I finally pulled through. Shadow 22 with his anti GPU EW couldn't stop my dumbass.Rolling back drivers seems to have done the trick, game in general runs way better now. That pop up warning wasn't just for show it seems. AMD drivers really living up to the memes.
What's the speed threshold for doing fancy aerial moves now?
>Cutscenes let you zoom inOh yeah, I'm keeping my camera zoomed in on Tasha every time she appears.
>want to get to F-35 for a carrier based plane>Already right before F-22>still need EA/18 and both upgrades after it before i can get itauuAAAAAUGH
why didn't they bring back stuff like the Shinden,Nosferatu,Falken and Raven?oh wait i know the answer
>>582954282it's really weird after AC7 had a good version of this (and AC6's was pretty solid too) that 8 goes back to irredeemable slow dogshit
Tentative top 5 missions after a single playthrough1. Mission 282. Mission 213. Mission 84. Mission 205. Mission 27
>missile smoke recolor is a 200 cost part that takes a limited slotthis is very low on the list of "retarded shit that makes ACO bad" but come on
>>582954829I actually liked the stealth canyon run in 7
>>582954774Raven is in MP
>>582954540It already is. Scramble is dead when it's available. TDM is dead. Co-Op Warfare takes a while to find a match. It's dying much faster than I predicted.
It's climbing up and almost at 75% positive.
>>582955025it's just the chinks dragging it down now, it's nearing 80% in English
>>582954587>spends so much time up near the sun her complexion is fuckedugh
>>582954857the first 15 minutes of 28 is just shooting down bombers like it's AC04 mission 1, it's not the best mission in the gamethe second half is fantastic though
Yea that's who I expect to be using the Morgan.
So what the fuck does this actually do? Is this just a 100k MRP gate for the FA-36 or does it actually have a reason to be equipped?
>>582955025>>582955123theres alot of reason to hate the gamebut the HOTAS people should just learn to sit on their sticks, then maybe they could enjoy them for once>>582955208i suppose its better than some hotshot named>insert protag from previous game>who thinks aiming a QAAM constitutes the legacy of the protagonist
>>582955170This might sound weird but have you buddies ever played Air Conflicts Secret Wars?There's a mission midway through that game where you have to shoot down 10 morbillion bombers and since it's a WW2 game you're mostly relying on your guns. M28 felt a lot like that, since your gun is the best way to mow down those bombers if you're running the range, concentration, and damage upgrades for it.

>>582955654I like staying anonymous, you guys have fun.
>>582955025>>582955123I'll give it a negative review if I have to buy it twice because these cocksuckers forgot to put a game code in my $150 preorder.

>>582955863CALL ME UP HIGHGOT TO FEEL ALIVECALL ME UP HIGHSET ME FREE AND FLYMY BLUE SKY HOME
debra wilson is good as the mission lady
>>582955863>the Everflow motif mixed in near the end >the shift back and forth from a pure rock track to a more conventional OSTthey really did something special with the soundtrack this time
>>582956520Debra is a fantastic voice actress, my issue isn't with her acting it's with games overusing her face.
>>582954368Insane how the F-22 still hasn't been improved upon, when will we get the next generation of a fighter planeThat piece of shit F-35 doesn't count, it's a dirty multirole
I don't give a flying mother fuck about balance, the ammo counts for some weapons when you have two SP weapons is PITIFUL. They gotta double it at the very least.
>>582956620Some of her lines are a little stiltes but that's kinda true for everyone in the English cast, which seems like a direction issue.
>>582956520it's ok to say she's goated anon
>Impressiveness of MVP position >Godlike: Attacker>Impressive: Electronic>Mid: Fighter>Pathetic: MultiroleI don't make the rules I just report them
>>582956734In SP it's easily mitigated with just taking the ammo booster for both. If they're of the same type, you only need one. The F-15E with both XMDB and SFFS is disgusting, nothing gets close to its role as a ground attacker.
For me? Its Hangar IIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suwWTiSKpts
>>582956520The problem was always the overuse of face scan with her, and at this point I just see facial capture as developers being lazy and refusing to actually design their characters.
>>582956873had me straight up dancing my apartment the other day
>>582955534shaders compiling? what the fuck does that mean
>>582956682>Insane how the F-22 still hasn't been improved uponNot really. There hasn't been a reason for one until about now.
>>582956682>Insane how the F-22 still hasn't been improved upon, when will we get the next generation of a fighter planei can think of a few reasons1) the fact that the world thinks its the top of the line gold standard despite it having a kill record of>one chinese weather balloonis enough of a lead for the USA2) conditionally alongside 1 the fact that a STEALTH PLANE is so popular suggests the US for its Defense spending could easily hide a fucking teleportation machine for all we know, flying is probably a fucking joke3) drones4) lasers5) retarded pakis we work alongside ON OUR TEAM consistently being the source of the highest kill rate for the F-15 suggests we dont NEED better planes, just better policy
this isn't a knock against Tasha's VA since I think the direction issues hurt her the most but she's a much better realized character in Japanese, like her quips/teasing/reactions/etc land way better and actually sound like they fit the moment
Sorry for asking this again but I did my preorder through Newegg and I don't have the code yet. Will I still get the preorder bonus even if the code gets sent on release day? I've never done a preorder through a third-party website, so idk if shenanigans tend to happen
>>582956995id rather have pop-in than to see this retarded screen, let me play the fucking gamealso>the post mission recap doesnt work and im just on the ground while everyone's flyingmaybe the game is following jan cope on his journey to the alicorn, fucking buggy ass game
>>582957116how do the other characters sound in japanese compared to english?
>>582957018>>582957032I really want better, awesomer killing machines to ride on.>>582957116Sounds like a brat in over her head most of the time which fits, only time I felt that her and Coster's dialogue was stilted was during Theve's reclamation where they sound like newtypes and Baxter's death/return flight.
>>582957185Tasha is the only one I'd say feels noticeably different, though Kate sounds a bit more enthusiastic in those moments when she lets the serious mask slip (like telling Coster to turn the music up).
>>582957142ask newegg you moron how the fuck do we know?>>582957185>>582957116this game being so heavy in dialogue is hurting it, in the sense that Every time my uncanny valley response triggers its due to incredibly stilted dialogue from what i can only assume is questionable localization, I definitely remember feeling this every time i heard "go dance with the angels mister" back then
Why are Japanese VAs always better than Western VAs?
>>582957116she sounds properly bratty and delinquent in JP>that kimochiwarui~ when she sees the droneswarm APS on the initial land battleship mission
>>582954282People always glaze 5 cause it let you outfit a whole flight and had the most missions but most saus missions were boring A2G with the worst designed missions in the whole series sprinkled in(that mission where you had to time destroying the radars and solitaire come to mind.
>>582956520she's always been a great voice actress
>>582957329The way she teases and goes back and forth with Coster/Queen squad in mission 3 is a good example as well if you compare it to the English
>>582957326if i had to guess>game is written like an anime plot>photorealistic characters having to say elaborate dialogue>localization team fucked over trying to come up with approximate lines that match the timing of the lipsync >>582957337speaking of>ground crew guy telling me my anti-ground is lacking for the hundredth timeFUCK YOU ITS MY PLANE, MY MISSION
>>582956520She's always been good, her being face-scanned in a noticeable amount of "high quality" games however is a fucking annoyance.
One of the other changes this game should have taken from PW is opening up special weapons so they're not locked down to specific aircraft. Then it really would have been down to player preference.The Fullback losing SFFS and it being given to the F-15E is just moronic. The latter is just outright the best Attacker in the game now, it has two of the best AOE over range ground deleting SWs available.
>>582957326It's just a completely different industry in how it is handled, plus I feel like Western VAs are even worse now since it's just a lot of people getting one-shot roles so they never get to build up experience, or they are influencers/streamers.
apparently the Sotoan lines in JP are deliberately written to incorporate Imperial Japanese circa WW2 terms and military-speak which just wasnt translated very well to EN
>>582956837>anon still seething at losing to morgansit's ok, buddyone day you too can be a MVP when you grow up
>>582956682The US can barley afford a fleet of F22, its the plane made to fight an enemy that dont exist, everything is low intensity conflicts and proxy wars were drones and last Gen planes are used instead.
>>582957564>One of the other changes this game should have taken from PW is opening up special weapons so they're not locked down to specific aircraft.this would be retarded?
>>582952935post clouds
>>582957254>I really want better, awesomer killing machines to ride on.Well you'll have to wait for the next game in like 8 years. Maybe the F-47 and F/A-XX(probably the F-47) will be in it.
>>582955863I'M HEARING IT CALLINGNO STOPPING OR STALLINGI WON'T EXPLAIN CAUSE WORDS ALL FAIL TO TELL THE FEELING
>>582957695hell the king of fighters statistically is the F-15 and theres just no need for it because hajjis dont have any planes
>>582957320fuck u nigga
>>582957738Ogey
Wait, I had to fucking sign up for an account at UPS to see that they're sending a second fucking package with my game code???
>>582957616>Anon still seething that he caused the divorce I would give you a hug but you need a shower
>>582955863>The instruments dropping out one by one until it fades into the Everflow leitmotifthis soundtrack is genuinely incredible
>>582957876and fuck your preorder lol, i dont know about the status of your gamenobody knows, but the fact that you think a bunch of randos talking about a game = logistical tech support from fucking newegg makes you the more niggardly person here
>in retaking of theve the sky in the horizon lights up when purple magic is fighting the battleshipthat's so fucking sick man
lol
>>582958008>he sky in the horizon lights upi couldnt fucking tell, i was too busy getting lit up by SAMsI play in cockpit so i spent 90% of the mission looking at the radar
Sotoans aren't human you need to kill as many as possible
>>582957569I don't think Western VAs are getting worse so much as it is localization practices for some Japanese games getting worse. Like the less they sound like they're trying to match Japanese speaking cadence and tone the better it gets, and a lot of Japanese publishers are having more input in voice direction which can be a problem. It could also be the fact that most voice actors in America specifically are either union or independent contractors. There aren't many dedicated English dubbing studios anymore, the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Sound Cadence who does a bunch of voice work for gacha games.I really have no goddamn what I'm talking about since I don't work in the industry but this is what I gather from people in it and from other people commenting about it. I'd rather have more outright voice acting I can laugh at than bland voice acting I forget. Not that I think 8 is all that bad so far, it just sounds like one of those dub jobs where the VA's all did their lines separate from one another for the most part.
>>582958159>btfo the UNi mean thats pretty based
>Without fail 2-3 people get killed in the initial helios barrage during the Arsenal Bird sortiesome actual monkeys playing this game
>>582958004i feel like asking a bunch of randos if someone has ever used newegg to preorder a game isn't that odd but whatever man i got my 15 shekels off
Finally won one of these, it's really fun when your team knows what to do
>>582957704Anon, three SWs being your only choice on any and all aircraft, determined at the behest of PA who infamously are terrible at balancing, is precisely why we end up with duff picks, and again, blatantly overpowered must-picks.You explain to me why the F-15E deserves both the XMDBs and SFFS, two of the best anti-ground SWs in many Ace Combat games. Meanwhile most other Attackers are stuck with 4AGM (garbage) and UGBs (good but not as good as SFFS).
>>582958159>(green circles/hexagons) aren't human you need to kill as many as possibleI will send them to Pilot Valhalla where they can dance with the angels
being forced back into the hornet for the NG+ campaign is legitimately painfulwhy did they make it maneuver like a blimp
>>582958289no you fucking idiot im wondering what makes you think newegg, which wants your business, would actively want to fuck you from subsequent business, call or ask them during business hours like a fucking non-retard
>>582958326Oh and I'm aware I've been calling it XMDB instead of XSDB like a retard.
>>582958159I don't even understand how a nomadic people got all these super weapons, and a megafloat and two satellites that can rain death from above.
neat
>>582958307>Go under it to shoot the hooks>Look behind me and 6/8 teammates are chasing drones
People weren't kidding, last mission really was ass. Really shoulda just had a good ol' fashioned superweapon, felt the game kinda lacked one. Kate best girl btw.
https://www.nexusmods.com/acecombat8wingsoftheve/mods/8hotasfags can finally stop crying
>>582957838That and the only rivals tge US have taht can make comparable planes to the F22 are Russia/China, who's jets suffer from quality control issues and economy and the EU, which is just using US F-35's or Typoons/Rafales and not eveb bothering to compete.
>>582958516sheep don't only grow woolthey also grow a thousand planes
Was anyone else expecting the live action stuff to have a final episode where it establishes they all joined or attached to the military forces? I was expecting the surgeon to show up with a helmet that said Doc on it or something. Weird to not fully tie it into the game.
when is the daily reset for ACO by the way
Is there really no Ace difficulty? I've finished the campaign and still only got Elite.
>>582958748>That and the only rivals tge US have taht can make comparable planes to the F22 are Russia/Chinai dont even think you can say thats truehistorically>china is great at keeping up appearances and just flat out lyingand russia is>also alot like chinaboth untested planesAt least we have confirmed reports of EU fighter pilots playing wargames and saying>we cant fucking get a lock on the raptor so in simulation they just get a lock, fire everything, turn and burn and we're fucking dead
>>582958848>he played on rookieBrother...
>>582958516[spoilers]Alex Jones was right, the fucking globalists are funding them[/spoiler]
>>582958816I was expecting some kind of meeting between the three characters. Also I wonder what happened to the carrier the pilot was stationed on.
>>582958848No. I beat the entire game on Elite and unlocked Ace.
>>582959034Nice one.
>>582959014>>582959065FUCK, I changed from Vet to Elite halfway. Gotta do it again now...I'll check if just clearing the Vet missions is enough in case there are other dumbasses like me.
ran into my first chink cheater, morgan TLS that kills the entire map on match start and you just die instantly lol. Morgan fags are truly irredeemable
>>582958962Hey now anon be fair, the Felon DID bomb a few brown people just like the Raptor got to. And it may or may not have fired cruise missiles at the Ukrainians, but I have no idea if that's true because both sides have good reason to lie about them being fielded. It's really only the J-20 that's done literally nothing of note except have higher production numbers than the F-22 and intercept American jets once or twice.
>>582958679wheres the big booby mod
>>582959329So glad EAC is locked down to prevent Linux users from playing and is doing its job to prevent Windows players from cheating!
>>582959403EAC is protecting me from those dirty linux users...
anyone ripped rex's model yet?
>>582958848and this is why you always pick the hardest difficulty in an ace combat gameglad to see they're still doing things the ps2 way
>>582959516I wouldn't be surprised if it was just Cope.
>>582958848>lil bitch nugget told his nuggies cant flylmao
>>582959570You can see Rex's shadow when he first meets Baxter and his hair pretty much looks like Cope, so I wouldn't be shocked.
>>582959516I want to rip the models for the quadcopter and swarm drones desu
>>582957254soon
Anybody figured how to cheat in 'em online moneys?
>>582957943something i also noticed the middle of the song after the first sequence of the instrument drop outs is punctuated by dramatic blasts of brass, much like the brass used in the land battleship themes to represent the railgun firing
>>582957326game made by japanese people with japanese sensibilities sounds better in japanese? idk that's a thinker bro
>>582958679giga based too bad i'm already muscle memory'd up for mnk again
Can you get the Purple Magic emblem in the online?
How is controls on pc?
>>582959403no need to even worry about the anticheat, you can literally just launch the game without eac running
>>582953139Is it any surprise? Wardog/Razgriz are constantly whining about war. You know, something that happens when you are a fighter pilot.
So clearly 8 is the game to recommend if you're trying to get someone into the series/they ask about where to start, right? All the call backs and references work in reverse as well.
I was a bit on the fence at times but ace combat: galactica okay at times, enjoyable over all I suppose
>120k currency minimum for 15 > 20>2k a mission>10k for special missions (1-2 per day)>50-60 missions if you wanted to do it in a day Jesus the grind is crazy
>ace combat 6 recompile and ace combat 8 in the same year
>>582960106You get it by completing the campaign.
Morgan players in Emergency Sorties are the most retarded mouthbreathing niggers ever, always throwing away the entire match.
i see "pixy" flyers are already living rent free in the genpop's head and the game isn't even out yet
>>582961512Gotcha. Still got a few missions left.
>>582957493>>ocalization team fucked over trying to come up with approximate lines that match the timing of the lipsync But the lipsync is better in English than it is in Japanese. It's like the Jap VAs don't give a single fuck about the lipsync.
>>582961693who?
>all those escort missions>boring final mission>no tunnel runkek so over
>Mission 26>When the female voice joined the Sotoan chantingholy ludokino
>>582956520It was such a good choice not going a face scan for her character. It would've ruined it. She's a great voice actress and I bet there's a number of roles where people don't even know it's her.
Do you keep mrp when you start a new playthrough like ac7? just beat expert and starting my ace run and it would be cool to have the stuff I already unlocked instead of grinding again
>>582962159no
>>582962037>no tunnel runAre we deadass pulling a PW? This pretty much puts Rex's skill below everyone who has the tunnel run stamp, no?
>>582962037I do feel like the game has an overabundance of protect/escort these targets, and making the final mission have that too did kind of irk me. 28 and 29 were good, but 30 was just kind of eh.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRVH5Hp__FY
>>582961502I just about busted in my pants when I saw the 6 recompile was released.
does anyone know how to get the Lux Lunae skins in multiplayer? is that even possible
i love pw2 bullshit in my 90$ game!!!
>>582961693What, you mean the Morgan? No fucking shit people are complaining about it. It's the Morgan in a mode where most players are still running F-14s.
>>582961502Does that mean fixed audio?
>fight 1000 enemies>oh cool this is gonna be like Project Wingman cold war>it's power of friendship slop insteadugh... bring back mercenary style.
>>582962578But all deluxe editions came with a Morgan? Just use it yourselves?
>>582962642it means ace combat 6 can be played perfectly on pc now without an emulator
why would you ever play support in multiplayer lmao, yeah i really enjoy getting ass raped instantly at the start of the match by the morgan while i take 5 hours to turn around
>>582962784100% (Perfect copy of an Xbox 360) or a 110% (PC QoL like higher FPS and internal resolution)? Also link?
>>582962203there's 3 tunnels, two optional and one mandatorya traditional onea really short but really tight one (almost doesn't count as a tunnel but it's a cross so you can do it twice)a kinda short and kinda tight one
>>582962650I thought the same thingIt turned out to be another 'Destroy all bombers and protect the base' mission, basically Mission 444 from AC7, but with more enemies lmao this fucking game
Given the actual release window is about to come up, is there any way to convince steam of a refund with early access period shenanigans?The campaign was okay, the multiplayer seems jewish, weird as fuck and destined to die and im just not feeling the whole thing.
>>582962760>bro if it's so overpowered just use it yourselfI wish everyone below 100IQ was banned from interacting with others online.
>>582963089I assume the mandatory one is traditional?
Does any plane have 4AGMs and SAAMs? They're basically my two favorite weapons.
>>582963165>Can I refund the game after 15~ hoursno, retard
>>582963040the latterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr9m2XHpWYY
>>582963165No, Tyrone, you can't refund a game you've played for 15+ hours just because you don't like it.
>>582963360Damn...Never thought I'd see the day
>>582963165Well they straight up lied about the decisions changing anything in the store page so maybe.
>3 days into release>qaam spam has already started
Are the achievements multiplayer related? I want to plat this game but if it does, maybe not.
>>582962193nice lie bro
>>582963535a certain F-16 with QAAMs has been the bane of my existence in pvp warfare, i'm getting a lot of practice dodging mass amounts of bullshit in my fullback
yeah the multiplayer is DOA, I think the devs are mentally challenged. Matches last about five minutes and I only saw one co-op mission and everyone was just in the Morgan instantly killing shit with nukes while my starter plane needed like 3 missiles to kill a tank.
>>582963165attempt it sooner rather than later; maybe talk about how scammy the multiplayer is and you will get a sympathetic ear at steam support, but probably not desu since you have already beaten the campaign
this morgan spam in multiplayer reminds me of the first week release of OG modern warfare 2 when everybody was running around with akimbo 1887s sniping dudes from halfway across the map, if any buddies remember that
PW still mogs this game, they need to get rid of the anime power of feelings bullshit and let us be evil.
What was that final mission bros...I just finished it and I'm still seething and I can't cope
I think this series needs to go back to being niche. Newfound popularity means new retards to say retarded shit.
>>582963943Devs need to be dragged and beaten for releasing such garbage multiplayer
>>582956520Well the dev thankfully decided to shave Debra Wilson's face down with a angle grinder and remove her bug eyes so she's not bad here.
>>582952445>hope we get more information in the DLC
>decisions will shape how your companions see you>"hey haha it sucks that our friend died right?">"no.">"ahaha yeah."> return to next dialoguewhy even put this shit in the game at all if does absolutely nothing lmao.
>weird, almost ai slop portraits >mutts and broccoli heads>longnose battlepasses and grindswhat were they thinking
you guys act as if it's not the norm for final missions in AC to be a bit disappointing and anticlimactic, if anything Zero is just the outlier>In 4 you already had the climax of the plot against Y13 in Farbanti, the Megalith is just pulled out of their ass at the end>In 5 you already had the climax of the plot with Hamilton during ACES, the SOLG is just trying to tie up everything sloppily at the end>In 6 the climax of everything you were doing at the game was the Liberation of Gracemeria, the Chandelier is basically an afterthought>7's climactic moment is the Daredevil drop during Lighthouse, the stuff with the drones afterwards is just there because they forgot to put a tunnel run in
>>582963668No they're all campaign related.
>>582964256Yeah but except for 7 all of those were epic fights on their own.
>>582964165I have to wonder what plan Project Aces is building towards at this point. We have bits and pieces that point towards Ace Combat 3, but we are also missing some pretty big pieces when timeline wise they are only a decade away.
>>582963453no problem, buddy. have fun!
>>582964256megalith, SOLG, and chandelier had gameplay other than "wait for missiles to spawn and then shoot them"
how does this game still get hard mogged by a game made by three people
>SEAniggers just waking up>prime posting time for south america>tons of ESL bitching and low quality postsReally makes you think.
>>582964548sars do not redeem the ADFX
>mysterious green arrow in center/edge of map>playback arrows register me as grounded>online is 100% disconnect on load rate>lmao rollback drivers to get half your FPSwhat the fuck is this, wheres the polish
>>582964258thank god for that, platted AC7 back in PS4, not planning to do it again for PC. At least I don't have to worry about that for this game I guess.
If I see a P2W plane in multiplayer I just disconnect and join a different match.
Shadow 22 is a real piece of shit huh
So I tested going fully AFK in a Coop Assault match to see if it mattered if you played or not. Currently Senior Master Sergeant rank.>Difficulty 3 (no idea why this is sometimes 1 and sometimes a higher number, I assume combined points but I see 0 difference in missions) >Personal Score: 88 (Couldn't avoid this, points from being on target when something died)>Both Teams Score: 156,010, S rank full clear on space elevator >Alpha (my team): 58,000, only 1/3 the score of the other team>Zoll: 1,844 (500 less than normal)>Ace Pass: 15 (standard)>Aircraft XP: 112 (standard)>Pilot Rank: 100 (standard) >S rank 1x Combat XP Memory stick tldr It does not matter if you have 0 morgans or 8 and it doesn't matter if you personally play or don't, as long as everything dies you will get 90% of your reward for the mission. I honestly like this, and think once people realize that it actually is full coop with the objective being S ranking, people will calm down and play better. I would say maybe 70% of my missions actually achieve S rank which means the team basically failed. Typically because people are rushing to out-score each other instead of clearing the map methodically.
>do Rainband (M10) with LACM because I misunderstood the briefing and thought the ships were actual ships, not airships>still got S rank with just standard missiles and gunslol
>>582964732So I can just leech off lobbies and let the morganites do the work for me?
M27 is a really comfy MRP grind, you can go in with any bomb and just clear the whole thing in 10ish minutes for 250k
>>582964732Just cheat instead of afking and contributing to the shitty multiplayer
>>582952727Had to convert it to a jpeg but yeah. Felt appropriate to give everyone the newest, shiniest carrier plane for the closing round.The actual mission was kinda buns though.
>>582964939>he can't blind drop LACMs on a wide targetskill issue
I liked Dealer but Bandog is still undefeated as far as AWACS in this series go.
>>582965178we need to make it a problem for the P2Winners too, if they can just take away the feeling of co-op then they should just do all the work themselves, no one can be happy if you can't.
>>582963171but then you'd have to go outside
>>582964732>Chopinburg, S rank>148,000>82,000 (Our team)>66,000>Personal score 12,257 (MVP got 27,000)>Zoll 1972>Pass 15>Aircraft 125>Pilot 100 And here is a normal game. Didn't play very well, barely a difference from going AFK in terms of what I get out of it though. >>582964940Yes. >>582965178I will once someone figures it out. XP gain is reasonable, but the currency required to unlock planes and blueprints as well as upgrade them is downright insane.
If you are having Ace-Base issues, check if it's running in your Command Prompt and then stop it.
>>582965292i ised to be miffed that the multiplayer awacs isn't voiced by bandog in english, but hearing how positive he is towards you in some lines would be way too jarring if it was bandog, so i'm neutral on it now
>>582965845what's ace base
>>582965606for reference, getting ~119k score on a warfare mission, winning with MVP status, gave me 3658 ZOLL
An honest to God sheep jump scare? In my Ace Combat? I lol'd.
>>582966075Thanks that's a good reference.
Bamco just now on why Zero is only a pre-order bonus and not a separate release. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2288340/view/695399726270382204
what the fuck is a zoll
Why is matchmaking so shit in this? Every match I get like 3 or 4 disconnects before I can get into a single game.
>>582966381Anyone who isn't a newfag or a tourist knows why.
>>582966381Should've been stated from the get-go.
>>582966432Zollar or ZOG dollar, Osean currency commonly used by mercenaries.
>>582966007Easy Anti-Cheat implementation. Apparently if there are overlapping instances of it, it cannot function. And some games do not kill and unhook the process when they are shut down so it needs to be disabled manually.
>>582966432The only resource that matters for online
>>582966075>>582965606lost with about the same score (still mvp), got 3006. no idea how strong the mvp bonus is, but just play warfare if you want money, pop your bonus contracts on emergencies and scrambles.
>>582966381>chatgpt, please draft me a community-relations style post explaining why we're gay>ctrl+c ctrl+v>good, but can you bold the title of the game>perfect>ctrl+c ctrl+v
>>582964256At least the Ravens put up a half decent fight even if they're scripted to hell and back.
>>582966381I think this is the first time they've ever stated licensing?? They've always ignored the question
>B rank on mission 18Do I need to blow up more shit?
>>582966639Literally the most popular Ace Combat game ever. You're going to have millions of newfags asking why.>>582966669The real problem is shitty digital media laws which basically state that what is licensed for one game on one platform needs to be relicensed on any other platform.
>>582966781Holy shit how embarrassing
This whole 0 issue is such a mountain out of a mole hill.
>>582966381That doesn't answer why the fuck it's a separate game on consoles.
>you can just pirate a repack of acz which is 3.5gbs
>>582966432You farm it in Co-Op Warfare by attaching contracts. The goal is to get a lot of it, take it to the shop to by parts, planes, and plane upgrades. Thankfully all the paypig shit is cosmetics besides Pixy's Morgan.
>>582967147I assume it's something specific to the way steam listings work and they initially thought they could list it separately. I'm guessing some suit found out they could bundle it and decided they needed to do it that way. >>582967206You think Farud Ahmed who loves bitching and whining is going to know how to emulate literally fucking anything?
so Jackpot Sq are the biggest gigachads in the FCU, right?
>>582955654Can I come in?Emblem #22Label Birdbrain
>>582967439>You think Farud Ahmed who loves bitching and whining is going to know how to emulate literally fucking anything?I wasn't even talking about emulation specifically, even though, yes, it's been an option for at least a decade. I was talking about literal PC port that comes with 8 that can be downloaded for free and played without any hassle or need to have 8 installed.
>>582967737Ow my back, I had to do everything
Question. Do the jets armed with Vulcans end up making different sounds/have different tracer amounts compared to the planes that use the ADEN 30mm or the GSH-1-30 cannons?
all three F-18s are such fucking pigs. these flight models for the F-18s are a disaster and just worse than everything else. Why the fuck does a MiG-31B have better performance at all speeds than a fully upgraded F-18F and E?
fug.
>>582965268I didn't think it'd fire without a lock, didn't even try.
>>582968074everything can be dumb fired
>>582968074LACMs just drop off your wing and fly in a straight line from when you fired them if they don't have a target lock.t. used to score LACM kill in the Roca Roja tunnel during shootouts
>>582967889Yes.
>>582968293LACM kills*
For a second there I was really hoping we'd get to fly a prop plane during the escape mission. Oh well.

>>582966774Warfare has it listed that it gives high Zoll and medium plane XP, which is probably where most of the difference is coming from. Assault has medium Zoll and high plane XP.Scramble/Emergency has High Zoll and High XP. And its where I use both of the tickets, you get 10-13k Zoll and +600 plane XP.
>>582967893>MiG-31BBecause its a MiGod and not F-ag plane.
Keep it, sneed it or wait for sale? Unless a million normgroids buy in tomorrow the multi doesnt seem like it will hold

I've played almost every game in the series and I can't recall it ever being this easy to get a2a kills with the guns. It's bordering on feeling like a sim, one or two good strafes and they go down. And the tracers and sfx are so good in this game.
>>582969329okay hohol
>>582969218Morgan usage authorized
>>582969353ace combat 6 guns were stronger, but 8's guns are only a slight bit weaker
So what's the verdict, will multiplayer be deader than 7's or is it already doa?
Why the fuck isn't the block 3 in the game? It was in 7 and given the carrier focused aspect of 8 it makes perfect sense to be in. Like every other f18 is in.
>>582963165>is there any way to convince steam of a refund with early access period shenanigans?No they patched that out a couple of years ago
>>582969523Its pretty bad

More emphasis on rank here than cash in infinity.

Is there supposed to be a point/tier system in multiplayer like in GBO2? I see that each aircraft costs a certain number of points in the selection screen and there's also a "Difficulty 1". Honestly it would improve multiplayer if true.

>>582973054the landing force got railgun'd when they were 900 from the shore
>>582973054It had something to do with railgun range, didn't it? The LCACs get shot at when they're 900m from shore?
>>5829730541488, 6000000 is a lie rex 900 was the real range of the first land battleships main guns, before the satellite image was edited and command got bad intel
was Rex the one flying the helicopter that crashed at the start of the game? I kind of assumed it was the mechanic who was flying it for some reason but there wasn't any mention of him knowing how to fly, and I don't think the Endurance crew is THAT desperate to let a helicopter pilot fly a spare fighter of theirs
What are the implications of this for real-life aerial combat and, more importantly, future Ace Combat games?
>the best pilot in the FCU Navy is an airforce pilotlol
>>582973372mechanic mentions he's lost like 4 birds during his escape from the meat grinder, and indicates over to the wrecked one at the beginning as his fifth or something so I assumed he was the one flying, maybe with rex's help? maybe that's why they fucked it (or more likely fuel given they're in the raft and seem fine so likely a controlled ditch as bent as the bird looks)

>>582975012For me it's D.D. having a negative jawline.
>>582974235He knew where the beer, burgers and sun was, just look at that floral shirt and hat. Hobo supreme.>>582974684They should have had a few scenes with him chasing coster off, then going back to his folding sunchair and beer>>582974879I'm convinced he's a dev or someone's semi insert joke given his dress style and just sitting in on meals for fun like the cannery/cargo ship.
>Clearly, you don't own an air fryer
>>582974923Probably, or early 30s. Baxter was 41 and the way he talked to Rex about Coster and Tasha gave me the impression that Rex is probably meant to be late 20s/early 30s as well.
>>582973743>I don't know what the in vogue temp hosting sites aregofile
Just finished the game.Holy shit so It wasn't fucking Belka this time??WTF?
Does the multiplayer force you to use your Steam user name or can you change it in-game?
>>582975259you get to pick when you select multiplayer for the first time, so you could name yourself fartknockersupreme69 regardless of your steam name
>>582975259you can change it
I'm new to these games.As for score, should I focus on getting as many kills or simply skip every Non-TGT and go for the fastest time instead?
>>582975259It's not tied to your Steam name. You need an item to change it later.
>>582975362killing a lot of non-TGTs is your best bet getting S seems relatively easy in 8 compared to other entries
>>582974997
>>582975220who do you think was behind Enso Order?
Is it bad I find the dirt accumulation mechanic arousing? Something about seeing an Eagle get dirtier and filthier feels wrong, but also strangely erotic
>>582975554Take a shower.
Buddy do you follow the Law of the Nomad?
>>582975362yes.part of the fun of arcade games is to get higher scores and higher times.Of course if you just wanna go for plot, killing non targets and stuff usually gets funny comments from your squad mates
>>582973743Big Tanks
>>582975554wash your plane
https://youtu.be/hn9cag6Qrcs?si=mLH2vI3ujJ-KxoE3this game has a ton of AH dna in italso I've yet to find a single track that's bad
Where is Rex on the protagonist power scale? I'd still put Trigger / Mobius / Cipher above him
Song of Wings mogs Everflow so hard
I didn't wash my plen a single time throughout the whole campaign
>>582974940Jenkins called him a "stage dad," i.e. a dad that supports his daughter's stage work (in this case as an aerobat). Not a fake dad for TV purposes.
https://youtu.be/ywDhAqrL3DM
Wash your plen like you wash your peen.
>>582975747the chorus in Song of Wings is jrock mid My Blue Sky Home mogs both
>>582975526In the end General Resource absorbing them means we're now in ElectroSphere territory. So it's RIP Strangereal nations
>>582975823So once a week unless I plan to jam it in. Got it
>>582975717He's pretty low, nothing he does in the campaign is that outlandish that the other protags couldn't have done with a hand tied behind their back.He just has really good PR. D.D. is the real hero of 8.
>>582975717Soloing two entire Shadow squads in Tomcats and Raptors is a pretty decent feat
>>582975362It's a mix of both time and score, but score is more important usuallyNon-TGT planes are generally the best way to get a lot of score for S ranks
>>582975913Funny how some people thought AC8 was going to be the series trying to move away from the setting as per AC3, but everything is starting to line up in that it is the only direction it can go. GE is a major player at the end of the game, so it's only a matter of time before Neucom gets big. People are looking to companies for stability because Governments end up in a major war every decade or so.

kf-21 boramae when?
>>582975959When you think about it, Blaze is lower than Rex in powerscaling.
>>582975220and for once in their lives, Belkans decided to play ball, and not fuck shit upbut they got nuked again anyway kek
>>582976569>>582975717Rex is the first protag to have the Gundam Newtype collective unconscious psychic bullshit. So he should be up there.

No multiple SPW in MP?
>>582976181Cheers
>>582976181Maybe put it in the next OP too
>>582976835Level limit increase a plane twice.(first is 2nd SPW, second is 2 SPW equip, third is 3rd SPW)
What's the "correct" way to get blueprints for my planes? I'm trying to upgrade my shitty mig21, already used the five blueprints you get for playing 5 matches, and now I don't know what to do. Generic blueprints seem like they would be better used with fancier planes, no?
>>582976569They both have ace squadmates but I still feel Blaze still has a more impressive run in 5.Arkbird, both Subs, SOLG, the 8492 ambush, the ravine dogfighting Ofnir in Ghosts and he has a real tunnel run which Rex doesn't.
>>582977105buying them 1 each for 1,000 ZOLL
>>582977105Buy specific plane BPs for 1000 cashmoney each, you can click left stick to quickly enter their buy menu from the upgrade menu. As far as I can tell, the generic BP is used for the 15 -> 20 upgrade. I couldn't find a way to use them in place of specific plane BPs or convert them into specific plane BPs.Scramble missions give a shotgun spread of 8 random specific plane BPs.
>>582977105Go to upgrade your plane, there's a store button that leads to blueprints
>>582977105you can buy them in the store at 1000 zoll each, or you get 1 for each plane shot down in scrambles (based on what planes you fight)
am i the only one that's noticed how all pilots act differently in terms of speaking during combat now? they all talk so casually as if they're in a normal conversation while sitting down at a cafe on the ground except they're seconds away from death in combat. is that just the way things are where life in the sky is everything?
>>582977236>>582977247>>582977258>>582977293Oooh. That's kind of expensive, considering ALL blueprints for all planes cost 1k... but now I know. Thanks anons.
Every theme involving Luna 11 is so fucking good
>>582977427important note is that higher tier planes will cost more and the growler at the very least requires generic blueprints starting from it's first upgrade
>>582956520I like both EN and JP dub XO, but I especially like her calm delivery of "Stay afloat, Endurance." while everyone else is losing their shit.
>>582973743>limewirewhat year is it...
>>582977428group chanting>whoa-oh-ohhh-ohhh-woahh-HEY!>whoa-oh-ohhh-ohhh-woahh-HEY!then silence, followed by a single female voice doing the chant.Ace combat's music theme is unbeaten
>>582976949I mean, multiple at the same time.
>>582977412I think it just generally reflects the current state of the setting. Major conflicts happen every 5 to 10 years, so minor conflicts probably happen annually. Everyone just has a certain acceptance that their death could come at any moment because someone decided it was a good day to use a super weapon.
>>582974945>>582975149>CosterI don't think his special weapon can lock on targets of that type, if you catch my drift.
>>582977708Yes.Let's say the XD-69 has UGB, HVAA, and ADMM.It starts with UGB.You need to increase the level cap once to get access to the HVAA.You need to increase the level cap twice go get the ability to bring both UGB and HVAA at the same time.The last level cap increase gives access to ADMM.I don't think you need to literally hit level 11, just got to upgrade the limit, which is why you get capacity increases for weapons you may not have.
>when baxter manoeuvres infront of me
>>582977428i love her voice so much. she's soft spoken yet has that assuredness that just exudes confidence, like senna
>>582975554i used 4x f-18e the entire rest of the game after unlocking it and never cleaned any of them once, it was kino through and throughi think red hood would've loved purple magic

>>582977919Oh I see, thanks.
>AC3 music playing in the online matchall right, you're forgiven a little bit

>>582966381I just bought 8 and don't see Zero in my account.Does this mean that I have to install 8 in order to play it? The game page says that it's a separate executable.
>>582975717In terms of piloting skill, completely destroying Fatsia with only 2 other planes supporting him is an insane feat, canonicallyI think it's also understated that Rex is getting singled out by computer guided pinpoint railgun batteries practically the entire campaign, usually those are slinging big AoE burst shells from over the horizon with your AWACS giving you plenty of warning beforehandSurviving Lux Lunae is also pretty intense when their seemingly singular goal is to ambush and kill you when you're already getting fucked over by an international conspiracy who wants *you*, specifically, dead to pull off their Illuminati plot and they have pretty much every single piece of your military's networked equipment bugged and backdoored
>need to go out of town for a week in a week>occurred to me that when I get back I'm going to get gaped in online because everyone will be a week ahead of me on plane unlocks and levelingThat this is a concern at all kinda pisses me off.
>>582977867He isn't gay, he's just a non verbal autist like Literally Me from Drive. HE STOLE MY WHOLE THING I HATE THIS MAN
>>582978352>Does this mean that I have to install 8 in order to play it?yes, when you hit launch on 8 you get a pop up asking if you want to start 8 or 0
>>582978352yes, they're tied to the same entitlement.It's a seperate executable, but due to how Steam and digital transactions work, you can only download both as if it's 1 thing. They changed the game page FWIW
>>582978397It doesn't matter. Everyone's flying Morgans with nukes and lasers already. Anyone else is using F-14s or MiG-31s with LAAMs. It's over.

>massive campaign about forged kill counts >nowhere to be seen
>>582979304I remember when the first trailer released and people thought Coster was Count and they got him out of retirement and into the carrier specifically to forge kill records.
>>582979304He's the CEO of Enso
>>582979367>Tewy: shot down, get promoted to Brigadier General>Chopper: shot down, became Lt.Col (posthumous)>Blaze: shot down, promoted to Presidential elite boogeyman, still a CaptainDAMN YOU HARLING
>>582979367I thought the upbeat bit in the first trailer I think it was>I can make your killcount up to be whatever!was count as you hear it during a fly past of the carrier, and with it being a propaganda heavy theme it was gonna involve count as some part of D.D's media team or something.

>>582978634With all the anti-missile tech the big bads tend to have, I'm surprised we never ever got a fictional plane that's a turreted fighter with mad gun tracking.

hi team i beat ace combat 0 for the first time, really fun story but i was wondering - does the narrative/story change depending on which playstyle you pick? Do they interview different aces or do you fight different aces in terms of boss fights or is it just different aces that spawn in the levels?
Here's my big DLC idea for 81. Deletes mission 142. Swaps mission 30 with the DLC mission 3 from AC73. A FOURTH LAND BATTLESHIP
My plan for dlc2 MILLION LIVES
>>582981753Day 1 patch will fix it
>>582981927>Do they interview different aces or do you fight different aces in terms of boss fightsYes and yes, though some boss fights remain the sameThere's also some dialogue changes, PJ thinks more about money if you go Mercenary
>>582976181>Nightmare not only has mind controls for it but also for issuing the UAVs commands, ZOE kicks in and forms a barrier if youre overloading on brain commands too muchKinda fucking cool this thing is warming on me.
>>582981927>does the narrative/story change depending on which playstyle you pick?Not really, some lines are different>Do they interview different acesYes>do you fight different aces in terms of boss fightsYes>different aces that spawn in the levels?YesGelb, Espada, and Pixy are always there in every route
I'm no pedophile or hebephile, but as the campaign went on, I started wanting Tasha more and more. Her peppy happy go lucky attitude bouncing around in that young tight body is calling something primal in me.Do I need therapy?

Biggest question I had after playing AC8 is if the Skully Islands had another insurrection

I know nothing about the worth of the currency. Is 10000 for parts actually worth it? Should I just focus on getting the stuff from the challenges first in multiplayer?
>>582982574save up money, wait for the meta, buy the meta.It's Bandai, so they won't fix or balance shit.Multiplayer will also be likely dead in 1-2 years so don't invest money and just enjoy
>>582982224Im sorry to have to be the one to tell you this anon, but you have a grown woman fetish.
>>582982656From the 3 games I've played the meta looks like to be Morgan and bombing ground targets before anyone else can get there.
>>582982724>grown woman fetishTasha is still in highschool given Professor's insistence she studies
>>582982998I got the impression's she college age.
>>582982726After a while the new meta will probably be F-35 or Su-57 using LACM to kill the ground targets before anyone can get there. Very exciting.
>>582982574I have a couple of planes at LVL15 with a ton of challenges done, and as for now these in the shop are the strongest mods i found.10k Z is a "lot" but it equates to 9 missions more or less
>>582981273Yeah, screen freezes but audio goes on for a few more seconds. My hunch is it has to do with memory fuckery.

Mind you i already finished the game, but today, 2 days after, something changed and i cannot start the game anymore.I have all the files on the G drive that's a M2 SSD.But now whenever i open the game, it loads up the mechanical HD i have (for movies and shit) to 100% and i just have a black screen. Why would it be the case?I was thinking about the compiling NVIDIA shaders on the HDD but i'm not sure
>That guy at the end of the second Rocky Island mission talking about how much he hates borders now
>>582984545you know that makes me think, where is Pixy in all of that mess? last we saw him he was fighting in ISAF territory when he was being interviewed so there's a good chance that he stuck around in Usea since it's such a hotbed for conflicts
I kinda liked the bits of the Princess we got in this game honestly. The part where she tells DD how Rex and Wings are as sick as Trigger and the LRSSG were, but DD himself is a retarded asshole was fun. Plus having what's basically a private militia and information network led by Mihaly's granddaughters is great too.
>>582984545it's a nice lorebuilding that everyone's getting more and more pixy-pilled to bridge Strangereal to ElectroSphere

To people who played with JP dub:Does Tasha also have that weird yandere/crazy laugh like she's getting off on all the murder? I'm not sure if it's just me, the VA, or something's really wrong with that woman
>>582987012I don't know about that. Coster really mellowed out and became a straight shooter after Baxter. People were even reminding him to play music
>>582986774She exists to say nothing, she's annoying
>>582987197she preaches peace, neutrality and other platitudes.She just comes off as pretentious since she literally doesn't do anything

>>582987319It's why I hate her, no point to it unless you back it up.
>>582969523awful
>>582987392They should just lean into the Newtype bullshit at this point, already have sublimation go all out on spiritual stuff as well
Has anyone started doing an S-Rank run for Ace yet? How hard is it compared to 7?
>>582986718She was extremely Mary Sue this game, I get that she's Erusean royalty but the stuff she knew is Illuminati tier
>>582969523Day one patch will fix it, trust the plan goy
>>582987319this is why I had a problem with 8 taking place in Usea again, while it's take on another Usean conflict was completely fine plot wise it doesn't make sense when put next to 7's incoherent story since the FCU was completely absent from that game
>>582987584I think the implication isn't that SHE is doing any of this, but one of Mihaly's granddaughters is the information master. The older one also went to college, they hung out with Belkan Drone Pedo Jesus and Scrap Queen for a while, and they've got long-term access to the Space Elevator which services the power for huge swaths of the planet and might have some kind of backdoor in it
>>582987581Alls I know is the kill-bombers-for-10-minutes mission is going to be tedious as Hell because I fucking smoked it first go-through and still only got an A.
>>582987676Osea pulled out of protection duty after Erusia's tantrum. So the Usean states formed the FCU creating notEU. It's easily explained
Five billion years in MS paint
How do i summon cantrix
>all this performative hate for RosieReal contrarian hours out here lmao
>>58298758128 is really the only mission that's a scoring challenge. Other than that it's just "don't fuck up so you lose points to the checkpoint and have to redo a 30 minute mission"
>>582987884I replayed it on ace fucking around with the Morgan and got a B. Not sure what the rank requirements are because I beat it faster than my first attempt on elite which I got an A on
>>582987979Magnificent work
>>582987964the FCU has been around in lore since pre-Ulysses days, 8 is just the first one that actually focuses on them
>>582988016It's not performative I liked AC7's gameplay but the story and characters were ass.

>>582987392Tell the nips these wishes
>>582988016Yellow 13 was the only good Erusian to ever exist, so yes I say TED
>>582988123we like Count and Bandog here
>>582988016Yeah, why would people have issue with someone born into royal privilege who spends almost the entirety of her game believing the abject horseshit the hand-fondling royal viziers feed her about the war her nation started, thinks we ought to blow up mankind's greatest peaceful engineering achievement without so much as a vote, has problems with the concept of objective reality, and on a meta-level, gets sucked off by nearly every other character like she's Homer's idealized Poochie.
finally finished it>mfw they really expect me to believe Belka wasn't involved
>>582988419>gosh we'll never be able to track the leaders of Enso Order because the 'anonymity' of the system>oh right it's crypto so we can just follow all the wallets>weird, when you trace those back to the start, there's a suspicious amount of Belkan involvement before everything spins off into "let's create a borderless world">what's up with all this Pixycoin
>Post your reaction when Belka got nuked again
>>582988419Since Osea, Erusea and Yuktobania were (not so) secretly involved i don't see why Belka wouldn't

>>582988684>tell Moon-11 hey, the daughter of the woman who shot you down is right here to bait her into something incredibly stupid early
>>582987392if we're gonna go all in on the absurdity of this, add "D.D. somehow convinces the Erusians to join the fight during M28" into the mix
>>582988616Even Enso believes in TBD
>>582989048D.D. doesn't convince Erusia, The Shilasians join because Rosie told them to help the symbol of Hope. Meanwhile, D.D. turns out to be a super nepo baby and hired a bunch of mercs
>oh cool theres a ghost in my head, I can't wait for the twist where he takes control and makes me fight against my country since the big bad is his waifu>oh nvm he just did nothing and left, what was the point of that.
like does Cope ghost have any relevance to the plot at all.
>>582988773I think moon 11 might be a even bigger obstacle in this route if she somehow manages to suspect there might be newtype shit going on, or it motivates her to spring her hidden agenda against enso and sotoan brass early
>>582989537Cope might be a coward but he ain't a bitch
>tried morgan in campaign>tls doesnt instakillwell shit, how is the ecm?

My computer isn't good enough to play AC8, so I've been playing Assault Horizon and HAWX instead.
>>582987581I got all S ranks on my initial run on Elite despite having to take a few cp restarts.For m28 I just remember brrrting down bombers with the gun from like 2km out. Then brrrting down the Shadows. Got over 100k destruction score.
>>582989470I'm not talking about the Shilageans or the mercs, I'm talking about what's left of the actual Erusian Airforce
>sotoa vs yuktobania>just a footnote in historyif it happened before ac5 then does that mean scinfaxi and hrimfaxi might be the reason why?
>>582989048>somehow convincesMoney.
>>582990195I'm guessing it's a footnote in the way the US taking Hawaii is. Yuktobania would've heavily, heaaavily outclassed pre-industrialized, not-buying-from-Strangereal-Amazonall-Douglas Sotoa.

How's the F-35? is it still a gigantic piece of shit like in 7?
>>582993928Weird camo from a Rafale. Which country did this??
>>582994008Indonesia (I mean the flag is right there)
>>582994008Anon there's a flag on the Tail, it's Indonesia.Unless Monaco suddenly decided their tax haven needs an airforce.
>>582994169the TNI AU markings make it even more obvious desu
Can you be part of multiple squadrons in online?
>>582993239I started yesterday after finishing the story, and I'm up to 45. I feel like we can deduce roughly 12ish levels are from the initial batch of freebies and ez challenges.I dread to imagine how slow this pass would go for a new starter without the free 30 levels. This isn't a Sea of Thieves situation where passes in your paid game are very easy to level up, this takes dedication.
>>58299323951, could be better if I wasn't getting ST-310001 every other queue
>>582993928Which plane is this? Is this a FAMAS??
>>582994008Anon...The flag is right there...
>>582993961It has the highest LASM load which is arguably the best ground weapon together with UGB, but for dogfighting the F22 and Su-57 have the better weapon options.

Guys... I'm only on mission 16 in the game and started online tonight, lvl 37 on battle pass. I haven't found my plane yet. Like, I remember enjoying the Mirage in 7 and doing dumb/fun stuff with the Phantom and Starfighter, but none of that really has carried over. I used the Hornet for a long time in story mode and am now using the F/A-18E just to continue the path. I just don't feel free to use whatever in campaign and in online I feel kinda locked in by the grind. Anyone else feeling a bit off about their plane choices?
>>582994843I've been enjoying the F-14D and Su-33
>>582994714>It has the highest LASM load which is arguably the best ground weaponLACM does more damage in a larger radius.UGBs are stupid good.SFFS with the right parts is even stupider gooder.LASM is like the 4th best A2G weapon.
>>582994843You can unlock almost every plane once you finish the main story so don't sweat it. My advice is to go the center tree first since the Rafale is the highest tier plane which can be launched from a carrier.
>>582995073Thought that was the F-35C? I guess I need to just finish the main story either way. I have a set of 4 Mirages that I haven't even sortied in yet.
>>582995049Sorry I was wrong, Rafale has LACM instead of LASM
>Fly side by side with the father as Blaze>Kill the son as Rex
I got a rank D for taking so long on the last part of mission 28 how was i supposed to do it?
>>582994056>>582994169>>582994272>>582994656Is this entire thread infested with SEA?
>>582995449GUN. Slap on the upgrades for precision/range and damage and just melt those Felons with a good brrrrttt when they do their gay kulbits.
>>582995517I replied twice
>>582995517Anon being a citizen of a certain country is not necessary to know what their flag lools like.
>>582995563Steering the plane to aim is hard though
>>582995449By doing it fast, I got a B rank with no time bonus because that faggot shadow 26 refused to die, meanwhile S22 jobbed in the first 10 seconds.
>https://youtu.be/ojf7aOhExucFuck is this crazy mod for ac7, it even spawned multiple arsenal birds which gave me hope for the ability to mod a friendly arsenal bird there, how the fuck does level editing there work
>>582995660Are you using the type B gun reticle? Makes aiming a lot easier since it works more like the ps2 games instead of the shaky mess from ac7.
Still leaving a negative review until they separate 0 from 8
>>582995674I shot two of those retards down but the last 2 was just spamming flares. im starting to think im not the one who dealt the killing blow
mfw Cope wasn't a chip in your head, brain trauma, guilt or ai, just an actual unironic jabroni spirit with unfinished business along for the ride
>>582995517>People who look at planes all day also know liveries and country flagsReally nigga
>>582982998I think the studying is because she's having to go through actual fighter pilot training while simultaneously serving in a frontline role. It's one thing to know how to fly the things, but there's a lot more than that to being a flight officer.
>>582995225>Thought that was the F-35CIt is. I assume anon is French and thus biased.
>players have left the lobby>players have left the lobby>players have left the lobbyAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>582996169I only get that when someone leaves to dodge Morgan users.
I finished. It was kino. Even teared up a few times. I need the guy standing in front of his tv saying KINO.
>>582996389I kinda wish there was a proper tunnel run...
>>582996439is there a tunnel run or not? Like holy fuck guys, make up your mind.
It's so over...
>>582996439You could always fly up the Lighthouse again lmao. But yeah, Megafloat needing something more grandiose. I even tried flying down when I first entered, before the core lit up as a target, thinking there was more.
>>582996219Most morgan pilots are retards from hat I've experienced
>>582996219Just played my first match with a few Morgans Now I understand why people dont want to play with those planes. Trivializes the whole game desu
>>582952445Sent a request, Rookie_Nugget, I need some buddies to play with.
>>582995674You sure it's time based? S ranked it last night on Elite and I felt slow when taking down the shadows.I did get over 120k destruction score in part 1, maybe that did it.
wtf
>>582995745Yes I mean steering the plane even with B reticle is hard
>>582996439You're telling me it's another Project Wingman situation where the tunnel run is gonna be DLCMaaaan
I think I heard the VA who narrated those 8 to 10 minute-long AC8 introduction and multiplayer overview videos across at least three different in-game roles.His voice reminded me of one of the Cyclops units from 7 who had snide remarks for Count at the beginning of Fleet Destruction.
>>582982998Isn't that supposed to be intentionally fast and loose for nips to have fun imagining?
>>582997190>Timurare these guys really Indonesians?
>>582997221Bro just put your nose over them and squeeze the trigger, it's not difficult.
You now remember Fern the dog
>>582996864Its based on score total, time bonus just make it easier due to the multiplier. I don't remember my score before fighting the shadows but I had only 5 minutes left after shooting down the last one and the briefing showed no bonus.
Anyone got a feel for how the adfx-02 handles campaign with its weapons and if the 02 in the adfx-02 is worth it over the adfx-01?
>>582968390Thanks
>>582997382It's the hitbox that gets me because im used to project wingman's exaggerated gun hitboxesIn AC8 i try to put my nose on the target but i end up off by 1 degree and miss the hitbox and yaw didn't provide enough correction in time to line up the shotGunning down podarges and noobs is easy but it's much harder with shadows
>>582985140That wasn't on her, she was essentially a speechmaker being handed scripts and falsified information, with no legislative or command responsibility. I think her current behaviour is motivated directly by a desire to never be manipulated like that again. She will sniff out any motherfucker trying to lie to the world.

>>582997190The Ghost of Thyiv...
I was hoping with the squad setup options (and wording) and our forces expanding we'd pick up new possible wingmen to swap out and I'm disappointed we didnt. 7's rotating cast of characters and wingmen was a bit memey but it did help the sense of scale, and I honestly just did not care for any of the characters we got saddled with to the point I hoped tasha disembarking was for good or a shake up, that coster would lose his edge after that one mission and wash out, and for the funeral scene to come soon to get rid of one of them. I even thought we might get the jackpot lady.
