>>584227465 sacrilege!heresy!
She may never again pull a trigger.But I will pull the trigger inside her every night henceforth.
I really like Retaking of Theve II. The music's great, the city at night atmosphere is awesome, and I really like how the mission design gives you a lot to juggle at once.
>checking my daily ac8 coverage>Elon only wants me to see the ladon hateWtf
>>584228573Dawg she's like 16
>>584228791Out of 10!
>>584228732I religiously play the SP campaigns in cockpit view and that mission with Purple Magic playing in the background felt like a night drive, probably my favorite mission all around because of the atmosphere. Wouldn't be as good during the day.
>>584228746>I left 15 difficulty inWhoops thats on me, but anyone feel like this is one of those "hard until you get it" gamesA nioh like if we will
>>584228912Not a dig at the mission, but because of the land battleship the night sky really gets lit up so we don't get an actual night mission, my benchmark being that the canyon run was darker
>>584228791There's no way thay she's that young.
>>584228746I do think they undersell the mission but I'm not sure how you can tell people "Hey take SASMs or multi-locks" without spoiling the fight
I just unlocked the SU 33 and 47, these any good online?
>>584228732I like some of the guitar riffs featured in the track that play there but then it goes and ruins it by going full AH mode (it actually sounds like something Klepacki would compose)
>>584229247The 47 can hold its own with the SAAM/UBG combo and the fact you can practically backflip in place with it is a pretty good trick.I've yet to see anyone do good with the 33 yet though
>>584229112>Her parents meet in 2010 as doctor and patient>game takes place in 2030At most she's 19-20
>>584229243I didn't use sasms.or.multilocksI rushed the mig31 because I was sick and tired of flying to catch shit on the otherside of the map and lo and behold the SAAM/LAAM beast is still a king even on that mission because>SAAMs hit hard>And so do LAAMs
>>584229402>The bomber interceptor is good at intercepting bombersYou don't say
>>584229247Not really. There's an update coming in less than 24 hours though, wait until then before any major purposes. Maybe things will get buffed/nerfed.
>>584229387They gave her more ass than Kate for no fucking reason
>2 Emergency Sorties in three missions>neither of them are ChandelierIs it my birthday?What the fuck is going on.
>>584228732>The land battleship's railguns light up far away on the horizon at the beginning fucking up Purple MagicSuch a kino visual.
>>584229354>>584229579Alright, thanks. I'll wait for the update and see what happens.
>>584228573><< You got the magic, Ray~! >>
>>584229469Bruh in this general people were saying it's shit at that mission specifically simply because it doesn't have multi lock
>>584229749I think the green UI is too bright as I genuinely didn't see that shit once I was dippin and divine through the city, which was all mission the first time
>>584229880I highly doubt we'll get any weapon / stat balancing but maybe we'll get better missions>>584229896Half the issues people have in that mission is catching up so yeah I'm not sure why people were saying the 31 would be shit at that. I just say SASMs and/or 4AAMs is a good combo because it does make it way easier.I did it my first go around with the Su-33 and QAAMs and managed alright enough
>>584229880>So.much hopeIll be surprised at this point if it ISNT nothing
>>584228573Go home coster
>>584230035>I highly doubt we'll get any weapon / stat balancingUnless the devs are LAAM/IEWSniggers themselves they'd have to be crazy not to do somethingI'm pretty sure it's not just the western audience complaining about the current meta
Hey guys.Yesterday i fucked 5th misson by left out keyboard during talks so plane crashed when i sip tea, but there was losses in ground forces - at least radio said about sunk ship or something like this.Will it affect future missions? If yes, how can i keep invasion forces in untouched?
>>584230035>Half the issues people have in that mission is catching up If that's the case literally just retreating to a high loiter pattern above the enrmy's target (your ships) would solve a lot of problemsBut a lot of people didn't learn to use their guns or modulate their speed to extend time-on-target either apparently
I hope we get to bomb data centers in AC9
>>584229387At max she is 19. In reality she probably is younger than that.>>584229696One anon thinks she is wearing diapers apparently. I think we need an ass side by side comparison though with and without pilot suits to make a fair assessment.
>>584230225One of the prerecorded battles on the TV is a dev LAAMing in deathmatch so, take that for what you will.
are soon collabing with hecking cgdct anime?? we need pedos from world of tanks!! OMG CUNNY
>>584230242It won't.
>>584230225The JP half of things are complaining about the same stuff as far as I'm aware. But I do think just unfucking the missions would be an easier bandage fix than tinkering with numbers
>>584229696Kate doesn't need ass
>>584230242You can get a medal for protecting all the LCACs, but that's about it.
>check to see if AC8 got any good rule34 yet>All of it is Tasha>A majority is BLACKED
>>584230225>>584230360PA actually plays ace combat so knows LAAMs are garbo against people that can look at a radar
>>584228305Was very surprised when I finished the game then went online and found she was so unanimously the pick for everyone. Rare for there to be such a confluence of good taste.>>584228746mindbroken by vergil
>>584230649It's the meta in PvE, too
>>584230546This is when the devs announce something like she was under 16 all along.
Are any of the level 2 parts worth spending zollars on?
>>584230649>LAAMs are garbo against people that can look at a radarGuidance kicking in 1 sec after launch and doing 180 turns actually makes them annoying as fuck to deal with in dogfights when you also have QAAMs doing 360s arround you
I just want a co-op mode with enough targets so one person can't just solo it. That's all I want.
>>584228732First one is great too, I really enjoy the chaos once the land battleship starts firing. I will say that the track from that mission sounds like it came straight out of Arkham Originshttps://youtu.be/DxpODR3Bpyc
>>584230704Even the Japs prefer Kate. Total Kate Victory.
>>584230763Speed, 1 shots, and range is just a goated combo in every AC as it turns out
>>584230763well, NPCs don't look at their radargood point though, they are kind of obnoxious in assault. they should do less damage to NPCs, they should only 1 shot an NPC plane if you have the damage upgrade equipped
>>584230531I got the medal while only protecting 6 of them, maybe even 5.
>>584230809Super Maneuverability is pretty nice, and you can stack it with its level 1 component as well
>>584230876Normal NPC AI literally doesn't kick in until someone is like 4-5km away from it. They don't try to dodge LAAMs at all
>>584230763It's so good. Shame that the F-35 finally got back its LACM but is still missing its LAAM.
>>584230546I wonder if the meta for 3D porn artists is to just ragebait one side into commissioning more porn of the alternativeBut that's probably not a conversation worth having here, someone should just commission more porn anyway
>>584230113It probably will be, but i'm not done playing for today so might as well wait before I get a new plane.
>>584230649LAAMs seem very inconsistent and doing the same manouvers to avoid them works 80% of the time and 20% of the time that shit hits me anyways with some QAAM tier tracking at the end of it
>>584230835We're going to tweak numbers and maybe like in a year we'll do that
>>584231083I meant i'm done playing.
>>584230113i've played a lot of Bamco games.... i'd be surprised if it was more than nothing kek. maybe since PA is its own team we'll actually get some support for once, like Tekken...
>>584228305SAUCE???
>>584228746imagine having trouble catching an enemy that basically flies in circles
>>584228573>She may never again pull a trigger.Honestly this is lame. Her mom's a legendary fighter pilot (retired), now she is too after crawling out of being a victim of circumstances. Why not accept that it's what she's good at now?
Wait, hole up.You can get aircraft specific blueprints from the TDM events? Why did nobody tell me?
>>584230649>PA actually plays ace combatso they pandered to the PSM-chaining fags by making them even more powerful against other players, while the game's netcode and shitty missiles make energy fighting impossibleYou're right about the LAAMs though
>>584231279funny part of m15 is that the ladons fly the exact same route every single time. if you fail enough times you should know exactly where to wait for their dps phases
I've grown to love this goofball
>>584231321Most sane people aren't thrilled at the idea of killing. Shocker.>>584231352The game itself literally tells you
>>584231357PSM and high-g turns are basically Ace Combat's identity at this pointthe shitty netcode is probably part of why PSM and high-g are so good in this one. without them you'd just be eating teleporting missiles nonstop kek
>>584231465> The game itself literally tells youYeah but…I can’t read.
If I had a nickel for every time the obvious waifubait character voiced in English by Emi Lo got overshadowed by another girl in the cast, I'd have two nickles! Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice.
Did you like Toprak?
>>584231608He's fun to hate and he looks cool
>>584231608I liked the way he burned up.
I think purple magic is mid
Toprak kebab stand when?
>>584231517It's annoying that shots that would be guaranteed to land in 7 are impossible nowThe twitchiness of every enemy player that doesn't share a continent with you doesn't help with gunning them down either>>584231608Love-to-hate, he's very different compared to every other rival ace in the series
>>584231719You're purple mid
>>584230835Wouldn't work as intended, even with 4 playersHonestly what they should have done imo implement a horde type progression where 4 players vote for successfully harder waves until the team can't handle itAnd you know, actually reward teams for what they doThe 8 player format is shiy and not sometjing the game was designed for
MISSION 6 CLEARED
>>584231608tewy and toprak are both cool. i like the comical edge to them. they're diehards
>>584231880HE DID IT
>>584231271AI slop im afraid
What does Dealer look like?
>>584231608Wish he'd eject, just so I can shoot him
>>584231719Well, I think it SUCKS
>>584231986A younger Zero from MGS3
>>584231981Damn
>>584231986you'll either love or hate the answer, no inbetween
>>584231986Like a shady pedo from a H-game apparently
>>584231375I've seen people on twitch and personally attempt this mission>Whine about doing what they can>Still lost track of the bombersWhen they're in a planeJust fly above the clouds and loiter above the ship and they will come around ffs
>>584231321>crawling out of being a victim of circumstancesThe thing is I don't think Tasha is. She had no real reason to join the FCU and fight the Sotoans. It wasn't her war even with the history of her mother and don't think the Yukes would be too happy knowing that one of their aerobats was known to be actively fighting. If she had more personal reasons for fighting like say her whole family was visiting but were killed when the Sotoans attacked then it would be different and I feel she would have a stronger motivation with the FCU not really in a position to turn her down. Then she could grow more during the campaign where in the end she can choose to stay or leave depending on what you let her do.
>>584232151Honestly fitting for a gambling degen
>>584231608He's fun but I was kind of expecting a bit more from him, honestly, like more appearances and a more structured boss fightThe DFM QTE was a bit lame and I was hoping he'd start gunning down his own allies at the end like he did at the startBut it's hard to beat that tea scene and his few appearances were still pretty fun to fight through
>>584231608I like good edgelords, Toprak seems like the type of guy who would write "Ah, and so the hunt begins..." at the beginning of a Counter Strike match
>>584231986His accent reminds me a lot of Gerry Anderson so I imagined him looking like a Captain Scarlet supermarionette
>F-22>F-35>Su-57Which one is the best for campaign? People say F-35 but its sp weapons loadout seems meh to me.
I wish the Fatsia fight lasted a little longer especially with the buildup it got
>>584232350
>>584232406The ones that can hold LACM and SASM.
>person who does the hortus regis alti lyrics is apparently swedishSince when do swedes have an interest in /are the go-to for romani music
>>584232406I prefer the Su-57 but having a carrier capable endgame plane is nice if you lack the Rafale or Game/Barricader>>584232414I hope we get to fight a supercharged version in Online at some pointMore lasers, more spear strikes, more air defense
>>584231608Moon 11 and him showing up on mission 28 has some real "dropping the kids off" energy
>>584231608He is pretty much the anti Yellow 13 I like to hate him
>>584232414I think the idea is you really aren't allowed to go too slow or too fast so the pace is so fast and the targets so clustered you either "get it" or you don'tThey probably felt we needed something fresh in terms of point clearing destruction
>>584232406Su-57 is the best because it has a good air and ground special. Just ignore HCAA.F-35 is the best of those three by default on carrier plane only missions though.F-22 is sadly pretty pointless this time.
>>584232556>I hope we get to fight a supercharged version in Online at some pointSame, the game desperately needs more emergency sorties, though this would work in warfare or Assault as well. I'd also like seeing the land battleship fight added to that
>The Wings situation is crazy
>>584232732I feel like the rafale is better than the f35 for general purpose>Laams and decent anti ground optionsIt's just too solid
Holy fuck AC8 has made me so trash at the older games. Replaying the 0 port and I do not remember mission 10 at the round table kicking my ass this hard when the belkan ace squadron shows up
>>584231608why the fuck was he on milk duty in buttfuck nowhere?
>>584232406F-35 is good cause of its capabilities outside of its meh loadout. LACM is great and it can be used on a carrier which is extremely handy in a first playthrough. I think the question becomes what do you want after the F-35, the SU-57 or F-22? Could also save money up for the FA-36 post game?>>584232497Next game protagonists should all be Vikings wanting to enter the Strangereal version of Valhalla while taking as many Sotoans down with them as possible.
>>584232879He likes hanging out with Moon 11
>>584232151I actually kind of like this for him
Time for the daily humiliation ritual
>>584232823This chat spoiling everything and quoting everything before it shows up is pure cringe I don't know how you could watch it
>>584232841Rafale has LAAM and LACM. You know what yeah think it would be sensible to get that.>>584232924Lube up anon!
>>584232908>I have no arms and legs and I need raw milk
>>584232924We either win by a few hundred points or lose by 2k
>>584232879>>584232908If you recall for some reason someone felt that insane way of getting the nightmare to her was THE way to do it
>>584233030It's not like her health is going to get much worse
>>584232732F-18E is more than enough for carrier missions. SOD and QAAM can tackle any thing
>cool game, done, what's next>check timelineUhhh
>>584230531In my medal wroted "for protect 4 and more".Didn't counted them tho.
>>584233083The Sotoan equivalent of Jenkins/Scrap Queen is presumably completely fucking insane>Let me just procure a dozen podarges, landships, and 1000+ planes, no problem
>>584232879They were there to pick up the cargo from the blown up cargo plane which was some parts for X40.
>>584232841It's stupid how they made it so the two top multiroles share 2/3 weapons. Why aren't they different? Give one of them LASM instead of LACM or HVAA instead of HCAA (actually I guess that'd need to be F-35 since HVAA and LAAM shouldn't be on the same plane) instead of making them feel so similar.Weird design choice to give them both LACM+HCAA.
>>584233229The only gameboy spinoff I ever played that wasn't shit was the sims bustin out
>>584230546theres been a massive wave of>feet>armpits>cuckoldry>blacked interracialporn drawings and creations on social media and H-gamesit doesn't feel natural whatsoeverit is a massive push of some kind to make people generaly more degenerate i think
>>584233369the sims gameboy games were good in general because they remade the games specifically for the mobile platform. it wasn't just "let's stick a shitty stripped down version of this game on here", they would redesign the entire game for gameboy and just slap the old title on it kek
>>584233475Anon...
Ace Combat 9 is going to be about fighting the corporations and get back to old Strangereal right?
>>584233229I'm not gonna forgive PA skipping X for this
>>584232134This is what you fought for, buddy. A world without borders, which also means no borders on what AI can do.
>>584232151Doesn't strike me as shady, he's cute
>>584233369Not sure if it counts as a spinoff (cause it's an entirely different game) but the rayman raving Rabbids port is kinda fun, tho that might be nostalgia talking
>>584233475yeah russian and chinese spooks are commissioning third world twitter goon artists to make westerners weaker and capitulative you got the plot
>>584232924>Be EA-36>Ally with FA-36 and stick to him all game>We mop the floor Everything went well
>>584233338Every time a weapon feels underrepresented and another feels over implemented all I can think of is "the EML/TLS/PLSL could bridge the gap and normalize the rosterNope we AC04 glazing with more QAAMs, pair that with LACMs and go fuck yourself
>>584231608He's a DYEL
>>584233609We can never go back https://ugsf-series.com/en/
>>584232140wow I hate Dealer now
>Can build *flying land battleships* and 1km wingspan planes>Can't fucking develop independent launch capabilities to launch 80t into LEO and had to depend on comona and the ISVGenuinely WTF were the Sotoans doing? Did GR/Enso really want to keep control of Sotoa's launch capability to keep them in leash?
>>584233609I want to play a Belkan whose actions help to redeem them. Nemo is the bad guy ace, but can't ever fully one up the protagonist because it's missing that critical something. Repeated failures make the corps cut the link, effectively making it mortal by losing access to backups. This makes it as close to human as it can get, and finally comes to understand. Does a face turn, teams up with the good guys, helps the Belkan protag to btfo the corpocunts.
>>584233609>Fight corpos>They're too strong, we can't win this>Invent time machine to reset everything back to 1999>New timeline begins
>>584233475This post was made by a mexican teenager
>>584233729Good is goodNo 12yo is going to fondly remember a bad Gameboy game fondly because those were supremely bad
Has anyone here played the Sky Crawlers game? Is it good?
Do people actually use SAAM?In the campaign I guess it's fine, but online? You're stuck babysitting a missile until it reaches the target, which will then just pull some impossible maneuver + flares to dodge, meanwhile some random dude is spamming LAAMs and lapping up all the air targets
>>584234032There's no reason to play online you've already given more thought and logic to the problems with player choice and options in that dogshit mode than the devs ever gave
>>584234032You can try to do trickshots with it when you fire them first and lock on to someone later, but there are better options for both farming air targets and doing PvP
>>584233782ACKSHUALLY Electrosphere specifically is the only canon one here and they've confirmed that this continuity is parallel to the main Strangereal continuity
>>584233834All their budget went into their land fleet and the giant fat fucking floatsam, and Sotoan larping warlords never considered such technical requirements. Pls understand.
>>584234032In co-op assault? Its shitIn warfare? Shockingly good if you know how to trickshot it. Also quite good in scramble but yeah good luck ever getting that.
>>584233849Fuck it let's go back to Osean War (1905–1910).
>>584070504>my shitpost artwork got featured as an OPI dunno how to feel about it but thanks /aceg/, have this wip I'm doing.
>>584234259>Ray frothing on the floor because his brain can't comprehend itLooks great anon
>>584234252The enemy ace is the Red Belkan

>Only thing keeping me grinding Online is the simple enjoyment of flying and coop fun>Constant LAAMshit>Everyone fighting over kills>Finally get the matchmaking having a stroke and only including four players>Instantly more funKill 8 players, unironically. Make it 4 max.
>>584231608
>>584234595Oh shit, it's Girlish Topkek
>>584232924Meh. Co-Op warfare is at least a lot more fun than Co-Op Assault. Also seems to have a higher chance of popping difficulty 3.
>>584234252Will we be fighting Belkan superweapons lifted straight from Biggles?
>>584233736something is happening i swear, it's a unnatural trend that set its roots down>>584233870i'm worse, an adult european, english is my 4th language
>>584234595ToprACK
>>584233834They kinda did, in the story they were the ones that took over Comona to renovate it and such but I assume they didn't have an "ideal" launching point or some shit.
I wonder how an Ace Combat game entirely designed around 2-4 player co-op would turn out where you and your friends play an entire campaign as a squad
>>584234032I think it is fine, good speed, good damage, good range and shockingly good homing. If it wasn't for LAAMs I would even say its good for assault, but that applies to pretty much every other air to air spw
>>584234924A lot of people were hoping for thatI'm glad things have turned out this way, but it would've been sweet
I was almost convinced they were going to send our ass to space in order to shoot down the Tonitrus satellite
>>584234924none of my friends are autistic enough to enjoy Ace Kino
>>584234924With how successful 8 is I can only hope we get a full coop expansion in addition to DLC planes and missions
>>584234252>zeppelin aircraft carrier>paris gun on crack>massive landships>armored trains>anti-aircraft tesla towersSomebody make this please
co-op is troonslop shit and shouldn't have even been considered
>>584234924Make essentially AC0 but one player is Cipher and the other is Pixy and they are allied all the way up to the end until they need to fight to the death.
>>584235050You can say you don't have friends, you're in good company (but not friends, obviously)
>>584234924I don't see them ever making the main campaign cooperative, but I would love to see something like Project Wingman Conquest except more fleshed out and for 2-4 people
>>584235050
>>584235040Crimson Skies?
>>584235016I know some people that are into the more "basic" aspects of it, but none of them understand the RAW SEXUALITY of a plane's curves and the appeal of a sonic boom as you break the sound barrier. It's lonely being a plane autist.
>>584235007Yeah I wish we would have downed the remaining Tonitrus in the last mission instead of bombing a shitty submarine
>>584235201Wasn't Joint Assault a coop campaign? There's a precedentAnd it's not like they refuse to take things from bad games either, just look at the Assault Horizon influence on 8
>>584233870>>584235204weird obsession with beaners why
>>584234924If we weren't living in a world where these games have 5+ year dev cycles I think a spin-off game for this would be cool. Because a campaign designed for co-op would need vast changes to one designed just for single player like bigger maps, more aggressive enemies etc.
>>584233206
>>584235379We can only hope that, since the JP audience seems to be completely in-tune with the western audience, that Bamco/PA actually does something
>>584235379Given how good modding's gotten recently I could picture somebody cooking up a multiplayer mod for the campaign at some point.
>>584235223If it makes you feel better you're in the same boat as like a third of /m/
>>584235545Kate WSO mod that's fully voiced when

>>584235545Anon did have something weird happen to him many threads back where an entire Scramble squadron spawned in the floor of Mission 1 of the singleplayer campaign, entirely inert but thereIf there was ever a seed for a mod like that, it's there>>584235689Did you get all the podarges? Even the ones that tried to run?
>>584235007>>584233206please stop phoneposting

>>584235805>Did you get all the podarges?i didnt. too much shit firing at me i just tried to clear almost everything
>>584234518Would 55 and co. be the type who'll spam LAAMs?
>>584235985Well there's your problem, they're big point pinatasYou can always go back for it later with better planes and parts, don't sweat it
>>584235689I find it funny how one Savian merc is worth as much in points as one shadow 33
>>584235938IMO it seems like there's a whole camp of people that thought Toprak was too easy or too hard (but a fair challenge)
>>584235016Have you considered getting better friends?Anon, aren't we your friends...?
Since a lot of people agree that Rex is kind of a socially inept autist outside of flying, do you think he buys model plane kits and assembles them between missions?
>>584236230I feel that is an insult to the Savians. They were way more trouble than the Shadows.
>>584230649They still completely ruin assault because the AI doesn't react to them.
>>584231608I relished getting to wreck his shit but I wish I'd had more time to do soOn my first run of M28 I timed out because I wanted to kill every last enemy in the area before engaging him properly and nearly succeeded
>>584236428Its how Kate bribed him to sit in the WSO seat.
>>584236428I'm pretty sure everyone in Strangereal does thatYou probably inherit your grandparent's fine Ming F-22s when they get shot down over Oured
>>584236428Plane autists in Strangereal can probably put together actual planes instead of models.
>>584236012that's what the foxhound was made to do
>Sol 1 apologistsI do love my """hard""" fight of the game finger wagging in my face for several minutes until it finally decides the two dozen missiles I slammed into him are allowed to count

>>584236415You guys are too autistic to be my friends.
>>584233729The fuck, I thought even the first Raving Rabbids was solidly into the DS's tenure
>>584236767Then stop saving thumbnails you fuckin mongoloid
>>584235219Dead franchise, unfortunately
I want to take a fucking saw to the Rafale's fuel probe. Make it a hatch that flips up or something. The Rafale is pure fucking sex but it has the plane equivalent of a giant hairy mole.
>>584235084Oh, like how Splinter Cell Conviction's co-op went.
>>584232140>>584232151>both are husband materialbros...
>>584237039> has the plane equivalent of a giant hairy mole.Well, it is French….
>>584232924Are you still playing, buddy? I'd be down for a few matches.
>>584237187I'll play just one more to see if i get an emergency sortie then logoff
>Every queue timeouts except for DeathmatchBack to shitterstomping I go
>>584232151Reminds me of Hans Grimm somehow
>>584237424>mfw play casual, no rush, no real attempt to mvp>still end up mvping 3 out of 5 matchesDo I have to actively sabotage myself to not end up in matchmaking hell?
Thoughts on mission 28? I'm seeing the community complain about it being too frustrating
>>584237629>I also can't get a match going unless I'm in a partyFuuuuuuck>>584237669I loved it to bits. It was insane.Just focus on the lead planes and use your gun.
>>584237669Its a casual filter where you just need to pace yourself and use guns more often. I found the Sotoan slaughter rather relaxing.
>>584237135It's so fucking sex except for that goddamn probe>>584237669From what I've seen it's mostly the shadows, especially 22. I've gotten used to it but that fucker practically shits out flares.
>start Farbanti with AC7 theme>mission update>blast down some Su-47s>mission update>AC4 Farbanti theme playsThe perfect combination
>>584237669It's where I take a break on my campaign runs because holy moly 40 minutes
>>584237863I enjoy the maps we have but it's crazy just how few there is.
>>584237669I wish I had more time to really savor the last phase once the Shadows show upOther than that it's one of the best missions in the entire franchise, maybe top 3
>>584237669Can someone redraw this with Tewy and Toprak?
>>584237992Imo it sucks how fucking short they are
>>584237669It was cool as fuck, it felt like getting to play the final battle in Do You Remember Love. Probably my favorite set piece in the game.
Fuuuuuuuck
>>584237629It's genuinely suffering. Deathmatch is literally the only thing that works for me and I'm still stomping on that one
>>584231608Good entertainment value. Also no scripted invincibility bullshit.
>>584231608VeryI meanVERY GAY CODED
>>584238365I actually think the time itself is fine, it's that there are too many players and things die so quickly you end up rushing through it. The few times I've had matches with only four players it was still quick, but far more enjoyable because no one was rushing to steal points from one another.
>>584232151The artist very specifically stated this is unofficial artwork.
>>584238829It's the combination of his smooth moisturized face with the hairdo, it makes him look like a bacha bazi.
>>584238964nta but he's the character artist. if dealer were going to look like anything that's what it'd be
>>584238964Well anon if he were contracted to draw his design he'd probably still look like that.
>>584238964It's weird how we never met Dealer on the Endurance
>>584239108Too busy getting pegged by the XO.
>>584239108that's like saying it's weird we never met thunderhead on sand island
>>584239108He was busy gambling on the lower decks>tfw no All Good Things ending with Rex, Dealer and the rest of the crew sitting down to play pokerWhere can I get art of this
>>584239230I'm pretty sure we met Thunderhead a few timesThat's like the worst example
>>584239108He spends all his time locked up in an obscure corner doing online gambling. He is single-handedly keeping the requisition budget afloat while simultaneously draining that of some Sotoan supply officer.
>accidentally got the medal for doing the entire campaign with a multirole after doing Hornet -> Rafale M -> F-35>have to do all missions with a fighter nowis there even a good naval fighter in the game
>>584239108I don't think you ever get to meet your awacs in any of the games.
>>584239384NopeEnjoy your A-6EIt might be better to wait for DLC
>>584239241The question is, which characters would be good at poker and who would be abject trash?>TashaMid at best but tricks everyone into going easy on her since she never played>CosterMid but unbeatable poker face, wins more often than not>BaxterBad, gets too into the details and is too honest>RexTrash. Not planes.>KatePoker god, wins back all Rex's losses
>>584232414>High Command office worker when some nugget tries go-around from final leg.
>>584239384Yeah, there are none, you got your game right.
>>584239059>>584239092Said the guy who has never worked in a team with an art director or supervisor before.It's unofficial, created outside the company, without approval or review by anyone in the lead.To grasp at it as canon is something I'd expect from a lower fanbase.
Buddies, I got a scrambleJoin on aceg_rktpwrd
>>584232414That's just 4 giant wrenches
>>584236428>Since a lot of people agree that Rex is kind of a socially inept autist outside of flyingLot of peoples is wrong.Whole game is repeated simulated loop where we use Cope's brain as basic. Rex not autist: he either ai or brain surgered person.
>>584239341Thunderhead never appeared on screen once outside of missions, he doesn't have a face either
>>584239616>oh no the suits haven't watered his design down yet it's not le realthis is why you have to socialize anonymously
>>584239616Nobody even said it was canon, just that it's the closest you'd get.
>>584239347That mf probably plays gacha slop
>>584239745It's not canon, sorry
Cima? Cima Island? Cum In My Ass Island, really?
>>584236285I genuinely ran out of time on Toprak and ragequit because I could just not hit himHe couldn't hit me either so it was a pure autism match but Ray had to be back home for dinner so the time ran out

hour and a half of grinding, not a single emergency sortie. I'm fucking done

Flying at low altitudes should interfere with player locks in PVP.
>>584237669The only actually challenging S rank because of having to sit through 30 minutes of bombers for your chance at Shadow 22.
>>584238964>>584239616Blah blah blah bitchIf the character designer says "here's my headcanon for this character's appearance" and the appearance is completely fitting for his character then that's functionally how Dealer looks until someone higher says otherwise

I understand why Scramble and Emergency are locked behind RNG a bit because they're very rewarding and nobody would do basic bitch assaults if you could fight the fucking Arsenal Bird nonstopBut holy shit please make them more commonPLEASEI HAVE DONE TWO EMERGENCIES EVER AND WE FAILED BOTH
>>584240829Can you look inside the cockpit during mission 14 to see if Baxter is actually there?
>>584240743I think it does if you have a stealth plane.

>>584241160>Ow FUCK
>>584241754kek exactly, I can't understand why it doesn't focus on what your plane is pointing at
>>584242005ACZ fixed this with boresight lock and it was never added to the game ever again
>>584241963You should look up where the word "canon" comes from
>>584240814>Tie me to a missile and fire it at the ENSO headquarter I am ready
>>584242005To a degree, it does. But it's like the center of your screen is the big SARH guidance circle and it grants equal weight to everything in that imaginary circle. It doesn't grant elevated weight to what's precisely in the center.It works fine in a dogfight vs a handful of fighters or when fighting a normal ground strike mission, but it shits the bed when they go full retard and stuff a billion contacts onto a ship or super weapon.
>all pilots go to the Sotoan HeavenMan, imagine dying fighting Sotoans, then when you die you find out their dumbass nomad religion is true and you're now stuck in their Promised Land flying with Sotoans that you killed.

Isn't there something in the game code that I can change to play MP on linux? Surely there has to be something since the game lets me play SP without any issues
>>584244501Cheer up, the low speed handling makes it a real ground pounding workhorse and it'll happily get you through any non-carrier A2G mission in the campaign.
Are the F-15E and Su-34 the only "usable" attackers?
>>584245283>Who would win Tewy or Mihaly? Mihaly without fucking question. Holy shit he would take the entirety of the Shadows as a warm up.>>584245483Yes

>>584239384Could've been if they hadn't arbitrarily declared the Su-33 to be a multirole. I guess hold out hope for MiG-29K DLC, or the S-32's original carrier-based concept. Maybe even Tomcat 21, though I wouldn't trust PA not to make that multirole too.
>>584245283>Who would win Tewy or MihalyA cripple who was worse than some of the shadows or the guy who is invincible outside of Shilage. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........
>>584245385it's probably a server-sided check that flags whether EAC is detected or not, so no. if you can spoof EAC you'd probably be able to play though, i used to spoof battleye to spawn things in tarkov's pve mode. easier said than done tho depending on the version of eac bamco is running
>>584244501What are you smoking? The Su-47 kicks ass for at least half of the campaign. SAAMS are probably the deadliest front aspect missile, bombs are mini nukes once you throw on the +radius part, and HPAAS are great for skull fucking bombers and a few other birds with inflated health pools.It handily carried me to the Felon
>>584245483They're the only attackers that aren't dog slow or handle like bricks.If you're just looking to ground pound, multiroles with LACM and to a lesser extent UGB are also usable.
>>584245639enso appropriating classified lockheed technology huhthat's just the F35 PCD chopped up. enso like to add buttons though apparently
>>584242465You use them to shoot down the podarges.
>>584245483SU-25 is great in Emergency Sorties, it's probably the best plane for Chandelier due to it's gun doing double damage compared to all the other attackers (Alongside the A10, but the SU-25 gets better SP.W and MGP/Is cheaper to upgrade)F-15 and SU-34 for Warfare/Assault though.
For how shilled Tasha was in the marketing, she was the one character I ended up caring the least about. I cared more for Cope and he's a voice in your head

>>584245431>>584245973>campaignI mean online where spw choice is make or breakOf course I used it a shitload in the campaign
>>584246352She barely interacts with Rex so you don't really build any rapport with her. During group scenes she's always off with Coster.
Is Rex of tremendae majestatis?
>>584246789No that's your mom.
>>584246352I kind of hated Tasha throughout the campaign, The game rubs it on you multiple times that she is the BETTER pilot around but only that she won't pull the trigger unless it's for her hubby,
I think the F-14D is becoming my baby in MP, even outside of the LAAMs I can outmaneuver pretty much anyone in Warfare
>>584242393Publishers don't code the netcode.
>autists don't like womenI never could've guessed
>>584246487I'm sorry that all you can do is spam LAAMS while throwing your controller across the room.

>>584247175What are you on about
>>584247181The village scene made me think more of Ramba Ral than anything, it's very similar
CALL ME UP
It's over. Not a single mode queues for me anymore.If there's hidden MMR I have broken it.
>>584246352It really felt that Tasha and Coster were meant to develop based on how Rex treated them throughout the campaign as there are several points where you can encourage or discourage them to do certain things. It felt like wasted potential as it would have been interesting to see if they had different personalities based on your actions and how attached they were to you.>>584247004Should have been a bit where she is gloating about her skills but then you do a PSM on her to shut her up.
>>584247181Isn't she supposed to be Lalah she's even got the psychic abilities
>>584247013Statistically the MiG-31 is better than it but I like the F-14D way more myself.
>>584243346>Mission 30>Tasha goes "it's a laser! What it do?!"They need to do a second pass on her dialogue
what do we think about not being able to use plane skins until you beat the gamei think it's gay as fuck
>>584244403They should have more of the first-person segments and let me hug Coster
I want to lick Kate's butthole
>>584247013Wish I could be as skilled as you, I got a lvl20 F-14D and I still feel I am pretty much dead as soon as anything focuses on me, I did see myself outmaneuvering some MiG-31s though but they have QAAM so still pointless

Was Sotoa's desertification the result of Ulysses-induced climate change or what?
>>584247905Before or after a sortie
>>584246487You've still got UGBs for mopping up ground targets and SAAMs have insane tracking if used properly, it's far from useless.
>>584248089It is implied to be caused by rapid industrialization after getting their butts kicked by the Yukes. They forgot to start an EPA.
>>584248089No self inflicted. They are legit jeets heavily polluting their own country to destruction without care.
>>584247521She's not psychicShe's just got an absurd level of perception/vision that tasha's been demonstrating all game
>>584246314A10's gun pointing downwards is a major issue during Chandelier
>>584248089"Over centuries, Sotoan land turned to desert. Industrialization quickened it."
>>584248089It was the Belkans______. Those snow niggers definitely had a hand.
>>584248197>ImpliedIf it's outright stated you can't say it's impliedAnd it was outright stated to be the case
>>584248089Nugget said it was because of fast industrialization, they put all the resources into superweapons, none into planting trees.
>>584248089i assumed it was plain ol global warming and sotoa was a region sensitive to it, but their industrialization didn't help with the drought issues

The cutscene of flightdeck crew chipping away at built-up ice and snow had a sort of quality that I did not feel again until the ones following M29.It's not that I did not enjoy the other cutscenes in the game, of course.
>>584246308I've yet to run into any podarges in Assault or Warfare. I just strafed them with guns in the campaign.
>>584247181as soon as I realized they were doing the >hero and antagonist meeting without them knowing it's each other my mind immediately went to Amuro meeting Lalah and Char without the latter realizing it's the White Demon. Wonder if it was meant as a homage.
>>584249816Imho tewy is the closest a character has ever been written like "a char"
Played some more online today...I guess its already good enough to get like 2nd-3rd place or so in the team even if I lost during the PvP games when my planes are all low level and my rank is low?Is it also a valid strat to stay at long range taking pot shots with LAAMs or SAAMs? That said...I had a bit of a scare once I realize everyone on the other side is gunning for me the moment I start building threat level, I am not sure even a good player is able to dodge the incoming endless amount of missiles>>584249816Could be but I think they absolutely knew who the other are in this case?

>>584250128Tewy's JP VA is Mamiko Noto who indeed plays a masked Char clone character
>>584250131Was it that subtle?Did Baxter not acting like nordberg straight out of police squad not cue you in that joker 1/2 were doing incredibly shit at being sneaky
What exactly do you need to do to save Jackpot 9 during Mission 8?

I miss Bandog. He was a massive asshole sure but he was competent. The britbong AWACS feels like he's constantly second guessing himself
>>584250507I would guess Suletta's mother in WfM.

>>584248982Amazing how you can see the exact moment capitalism started destroying the enviroment.
>>584250786Cool I guessWasted potential show as usual
>>584250131SAAMa can be surprisingly good missiles for assassinating players who are already dogfighting, just don't get too much tunnel vision and take a missile in the face whenever you are guiding one
>>584250847yes the famously capitalist URSS
I finished the campaign a couple of days ago, am I too late to play online? I can tolerate a few hours of being in a dogshit plane not doing anything, but if we're talking days then meh.
>>584250975Famously state capitalist, yeah.
>>584250131LAAM and SAAM sniping is the current meta. As far as warfare mode goes, there's no penalty for just taking a dive to reset your threat level before someone engages on you. You'll still have to wait out the respawn, but they'd kill you anyway when you're worth points, so this way denies them the free massive score boost.

>>584250306>check>she was ProsperaDamn I've never played an AC in JP before but now I'm curious
Purple Magic's demise reminded me of Brook's backstory, I wonder if it was a reference
>>584250336I assumed Moon 11 figured it out later. Otherwise they bested Baxter's retardation with their own.
>>584251005You could beeline for the MiG-31 but I would wait until the patch coming today is out, it will probably be nothing but who knows.
>>584250336They outright showed they absolutely knew who Rex and Baxter were aside from being able bodied men who obviously didnt match the local populace when the photo was shown to be their discarded helmets...>>584250905>>584250786Personally I just admire how she can act like an absolute complete bastard while not dropping the kindly mother persona>>584250969>>584251024Oh, that checks out then, I better remember this for next games
>>584250131>>584250336Tewy 100% knew
Purple Magic made me realize that Strangereal is probably so centered around airplane pilots and air combat that it probably permeates its entire culture to the point where it is inescapable.Rather than country music being about pickup trucks, it's about crop dusters.
>>584251005If you play assault, your experience will be basically equally dogshit regardless of how good or bad your plane is.
>>584251068>We love crashing planes>This song is sponsored by- the Enso Corporation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH_j2lnQNrUDid I just block this out or is it possible to do so well at the mission that you skip most of this entirely?
For the sake of world building, I think PA should really start using more of their own fictional aircraft as either adversaries or allies. How come we never see the XFA-27 or Shinden anywhere?
>>584251553>Baxter: << Why aren't you covered up young lady? >>
>>584251659I agree, but you need to remember that Ace Combat's core audience are plane autists who want to fly their favorite plane.
>>584251707>We're on a tropical island, it's HOT out here you OLD FUCK
>>584233609I hope they make it have a similar dark/gritty atmosphere like in ACZ. Maybe where you fly for Belka in the 80s or something and you fly in one of the squads from zero as they come into prominence.
>>584247442this, went straight back to ep 7 with that
>>584251209>I assumed she figured it out laterBruh>We don't shoot down enemy planes trying to emergency land>The moment they get the photos>The moment toprak gives you his monologueAny of those 3 points is a valid moment to argue they knewNone of that matters because both toprak and tewy have specific dialogue to call back to that moment in later missions so I don't know why people aren't 100% sure they knew
>>584251378I liked the comment that DD said that was something along the lines of in a different timeline smartphones like his would be in the hands of every person if all of their industry wasn't so heavily focused on the MIC (and it's million strong airforces and super weapons of the week)
>>584251773True, I understand that. But I'm willing to bet that there are another subset of fans, who just like flying planes in general, especially super scifi Gundam types. It's just odd that we never see these super planes anywhere else after a story.
>>584251839If they knew at the time, why the fuck did they just let you go instead of having their bodyguards or any of the rest of the military take you into custody?
>>584251628I definitely didn't catch on the first timeMy mind hadnt gotten accustomed to tuning out the >[RAILGUN WARNING]Shit yet but but the time I was replaying I was getting better times and catching more dialogue
>>584251773My favorite planes are the fictional ones, I'm tired of the F-22 and F-18
>>584251628If it's the burning alive stuff then yeah I didn't hear that either
>>584251659isn't it because we haven't gone back to those regions? Wyvern showed up a few times now but only because things kept coming back to Erusea. Aurelia could be making more Fenrirs and Emmeria could be pumping out Nosferatus but they just haven't shown up again. Though it would be very cool to see more of the OG planes as special wings regardless.
>>584251839I suddenly wonder, Shadow 22 remarked about foolish MPs who'd arrest those who allow enemy pilots who land safely. Color me stupid but I guess its because its a dishonorable war crime to shoot down those pilots?
>>584252172I'm tired of the same US planes too. I wish we got Russian or European ones as a starter, not out of any nationalistic quibblings, but just for something different.Like in 8 there are a bunch of carrier plane only missions, but no Russian or European carrier planes early in the tree. What the hell?
>>584252114Maybe it's on me for being aware of storytelling tropes but>Muh pilots only know there's one place to settle disputesIt's kino and you need to read more stories, watch more movies, or play more games, zoomer/boomer
I will not play your AC game if it doesn't have an F16 in it.I will however accept a 1 to 1 copy of an F16 that's been given a legally distinct name.
>>584252114>TewyYou're not her real enemy>ToprakHe wouldn't get to fight you and that's literally the only thing he wants
Baxter has the power of the BBC but like the gentleman he is chose not to use it.
>>584252352That's funny anon, I vaguely remembered, double checked and confirmed that Ace Combat 3's starters were the Eurofighter(as EF2000E Typhoon II) and MiG-29(as MiG-33 Fulcrum SS)
>>584252349It's clear he doesn't give a fuck about military lawToprak is definitely the kind of guy who would want to kill someone in the air rather than on land though "Giving them a chance" for esoteric honor reasons would be what gets a shadow arrested is what he's sayingAlso there's 100% no crime against attacking a plane landing and taking off on its own airstrip, it's literally the primary known source of me-262s getting shot down
Baxter really is Super Wiseman II Turbo.
>>584239108He's not an actual person, he's a sentient Belkan-made AI persona thats embedded in to the E-2 thats used as the AWACS. When he says XO was his mentor what he's saying is that she was the one who trained his ML algorith to be good at counting cards so she could use him to cheat at the tables.
>>584251659Having real planes in those games is a good portion of their success, but I would actually like to see a heavily expanded roster and have the aircraft tree split into two parts - the top half would be all of the real aircraft and the bottom half could be all OC planes. This way they could make OC planes that are not superplanes and the real planes' purists could unlock all of the real craft without ever touching the made-up ones
Having now completed 6 (on Hard, I don't think I'll be playing more of it) I gotta say it's gotta be the most chaotic AC with the highest density of stuff to fuck up or maybe it just felt that way. I don't know if it's actually a good thing or a bad thing but I think it got a bit stale at the end. All in all it was fun.Kinda weird that missions would almost never deviate from your standard briefing into an "Uh-oh moment". Can't really think of any memorable moments like that outside of Pasternak showing up. I really liked the allied attack command.The ost is mid.I ended up skipping like 80% of the cut-scenes.
>>584251005No because I'm in the same boat and I'm routinely pulling MVPs in Warfare
>>584253028>the top half would be all of the real aircraft and the bottom half could be all OC planesThis would be interesting if combined with the corporate war concept, the top planes are all from the official national militaries and require good relations with them, while the bottom half OC planes require you to fulfill corporate contracts.
28 is a real meat grinder, exhausting. Even after the Shadows arrived still had to zoom around get a few more points to make sure I made the S rank. 90-something Tu-95s killed wow how many do they spawn I know the AI got some.
I tried drawing Kate but it was an utter disaster and I'd rather just play the game than draw now
Ace Combat 9: Assault Horizon II
>>584252405So they bested Baxter's retardation with their own
So we will rise above in a world where evil is replaced by loveAnd we won't regret itAnd even if we lose this fightWe will emerge into the light againRising up againAnd when we rise above no beginning and never ends
>>584253093Isnt it like the most ambitious AC in terms of overall combat system?Thoughts on "Go dance with the angels"?
https://streamable.com/viurqvCan anyone identify this song?I wish they'd do the thing they do in the lobby where you get a little popup with the trackname
>>584253093>Skipping the cutscenesYou have to savor the cringe to appreciate how much better they've gotten at avoiding it
>>584251808>Baxter: << No excuse young lady now go do your maths homework before I have to turn a hose on all these mechanics! >>
>>584253324I love Baxter man, putting these zoomers back were they belong
>>584253261Nta but I cringe evri tiem
>>584253191Play game. Get inspiration. Draw later.
>>584253270Something Air Combat or AC2
>>584253456Inspiration isn't the problem, it's that I am mechanically incapable of drawing a face that doesn't look like the grinch
>>584253270https://youtu.be/STJm1RoLYLo?is=9BIvM33b5LTMatipI have to listen to it very quiet because I'm On the clock but I think it sounds PS1
>>584253563you don't get better by not practicing
>>584253563You sound like someone who "did everything possible and still failed" on mission 15Always be changing
>>584253093I'll always admire the 4-6 line for being very ambitious with what they were doing, not a single game had the same approach to its storytelling.
>>584243346telemarketing scams mostly
>>584253093OST is definitely the worst part of AC6. Outside of Liberation, Malebolge and Chandelier it's completely forgettable and generic.
Is like 3 tries on Veteran M15 normal or better than average? I think alot of people complain about that one
>>584253754>implying 4's story being almost entirely told from the perspective of the other side of the Frontline wasn't greatNigger.
>>584253998reading comprehension
>>584253883Better than average I'd say. I consider myself an above average player and it took me 3 tries too, first 2 were with fa-18c and on 3rd I swapped to fa-18e and managed it.
>>584253563Draw her with Rex's helmet on?

>>584253998He's glazing 04-6 thoughThat includes ace combat 04 you idiot?
>>584253754>>584254032Yeah, I misread the post. Somehow I interpreted it as applauding the gameplay but decrying the stories.
>in fighter in warfare>against a guy in a Growler>expect him to be relatively easy pickings>he turns like a god and eventually manages to nail me after we're looping each other for the better part of a straight minuteHoly shit I can't even be mad, that was terrifying
>>584253424There were hints of family energy going on in the story which I felt the writers could have had more fun with.
>>584254059niggas need 45 minutes to explain they opinion on video game these days smdh
>>584254035I actually use the Superbug from the start, I am surprised you tried that with the regular Hornet though. I mean it does have 4AAM but its the speed and maneuverability boost that's really missing vs the E variant
>>584247004Fortunatley you get that one moment in mission 8 where she almost gets killed and you can somewhat rub it in her face with the subsequent yes/no prompt.
>>584254109The toxic /vg/ bots are out to bait you just let them be stupid and not give them (you)'sGood bait by the bot though I guess, acting retarded and all for no reason
>>584254059This guy's video on Zero is really great but his 7 critiques are all over the place
>>584253261>Isnt it like the most ambitious AC in terms of overall combat system?I don't know but most missions felt like "Long Day", "Pipeline Destruction", "Fleet Destruction" "Battle for Farbanti" from 7. Some of the AI is really aggro as well, the mission where you start with a casual flyover over the city had a bunch of f-22s CONSTANTLY sitting on my ass while I was chasing missiles. Another one was the one where you have to fly low in the valley. The allied cover/attack is nice though, helps you mitigate a lot of problems in situations like that.>Go dance with the angelsAgain, maybe I would've appreciated this more if I didn't skip those cut-scenes but even without any context it seemed like this line was used one too many times in some form or another.>>584253290Maybe I'll play it again some time later and sit through all of the story but I just couldn't bring myself to care that much about it. Truth be told I had a lot of fun bombing the fuck out of things and cut-scenes were standing in the way.>>584253754Can't comment on 6 for obvious reasons but I'll agree with you on 04, even though I'm not a huge fan of the game itself. >>584253838Yeah, I also liked the Dead Sea one. Liked it even before playing the game itself. But no track really stood out to me personally outside of that one and the ones you mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdPTugCpSD0
>>584254059Ehh, wasn't anywhere near as emotional as 5 but it did remind me of it a lot
>>584250756pretty accurate potrayal of modern bongs tbf
>>584253838the title theme that plays at the end of WMD is genuinely great because of how it's used. It's probably my favourite mission. >>584253093>Kinda weird that missions would almost never deviate from your standard briefing into an "Uh-oh moment"I like that about it, they kind of crutch on the "Uh-oh" briefings at times. But it's definitely a bit more sterile compared to later games.more of a war story than a personal one though, it's why I can name all the allied units but don't remember any of the enemy pilots other than Pasternak
Got an F/A-18E already in online, shall I get an F as well? Kinda on the fence 'cause I've already got an F-15E...
>>584250756>YOU! SOLITARY! NOW!That's a real leader, right there.
>>584254638>Absolutely gunning it with the jeep on dirtThat fucking idiot toprak is going to soul tewy's crisp whites
>>584253998holy shit
>>584254764I am pretty sure "Go dance with the angels" is considered memetically dumb even in JP too
>>584254764It's not about not caringI was onboard for 5's corny story beatsBut 6 had me dying of embarassment but I still stuck to it and it's important you do too
>>584251472Eagle Eye from Zero was always my favorite
>>584254778Bruh the unison formation song being interrupted by pops telling us how to kill SOLG is genuinely not good and deserves to be redone better
>>584252823Basically
>>584254189NTA but I feel like PA was intentionally conservative about the out-of-cockpit scenes because it's their first time doing them and they didn't want to oversaturate.Personally I was dubious about them from the first reveal, and by the end wished we'd had more especially in the briefing room and mess hall. Small stuff like Baxter throwing the ball at the plane just to fuck with Jenkins was gold.Every character on the Endurance is good, not just Joker Flight but Jenkins and Pike and DD and even Tasha's dad. And I still wish we'd met Dealer even if only once>>584253563Just do it my man
>>584254059In the sense of the gameplay? It's definitely more polished and the set pieces are more consistent. It has a lot of 5's DNA with the dialogue reliance, even lifts a few mission concepts from it. I was kinda surprised that they didn't do the 5 thing where you have branching missions depending on your dialogue. Narratively, I think they tug at the same humanist & information theme line but I think 5 was better plotted and more engaging.
>>584255304>Intentionally conservative>Singlehandedly force them to be the reason the game is 140 gigsWtf it's also no surprise it's causing a lot of crashes eitherPic unrelated ofc
I hated all of the out of cockpit stuff. I just want to play an arcade game, man.
>>584253612Fuck yeah that's itI should try Air Combat/AC22
>>584250756Osea was curbstomping Erusea in a war that didn't really seem to be affecting the homeland at all, meanwhile the FCU basically didn't exist and the Endurance was said to be the only air asset they had left at the time the game startsDealer was under a lot of pressure
>>584255315Branching missions would be crazy cool to have come back but these newer games really want to have the scripted spectacles on display so it's kind of counter to that. On that note if there's one thing about 8 I'm not a big fan of it's the "activate the cutscene" prompt while flying. That's super annoying every time.
>>584255586Trigger could've saved her, but he had Avril already. You can only have one short haired tomboy gf.
>>584255928Yeah on my first run every time I told myself"This is retarded something has a radar lock and I'm about to fly into a building" and just ignored all of them
>DealerWhat does he deal exactly?
>>584256171Dick.
>>584256171Yo mama.
>>584255976I don't think scream is a tomboy, just fuckin emotional
>>584256171>What does he dealHis hands obviously>Joker>Queen>KingOh and I guess he coordinates with the gradually but surely shrinking jackpot squadron
>>584255707Then go back to the PS2 games. Ace Combat is cinematic now and it's not gonna change, sadly
>>584256171er
I want a full Purple Magic album
>>584256505I think there's easily a compromise, and it's as simple as having a "turn cinematics off" button in the menu.Even if you enjoy the campaign, the cinematics make replaying missions frustrating.
Dealer and Cope must have been good buddies. I imagine their poker nights being pretty entertaining
>>584256596You can skip 90% of them with the sole exception of the ones that come when you shoot down a specific enemy like Shadow 22
>>584255707I'm beginning to think it's not that people who like acO actually like it, but that it's the only thing that scratches that itch
Do you think Dealer and High Roller would've gotten along?
>>584253883I really hate this mission. Its basically a race to see whether Green 2's missiles get to you before you get to the next cutscene.
>>584255928Wonder if it would be nice to like have some choice on how to tackle missions depending on the overarching operation? Stuff like you have a certain big objective but you can plan out which to tackle first or even ignore some objectives outright which comes with consequences on the big operation
If you took all the player aces and put them in a room together what would happen
>>584254059Pretty agreeable video desu. The point of critique that most stuck with me is how little the game does with the ghost of kyiv allegory with it basically just boiling down to "lying is bad" and not really saying much else on the nature of propaganda.
>>584256789>Green 2 missiles youGo right
>>584249000Yes, exactly that.Did you sleep through the mission?
>>584256836This motherfucker would be the only one striking up a conversation
>>584256789Anon, wrong mission
>>584254059it's 5 as in an improvement over the necessary and decent but ultimately not that spectacular first entry to the new gen 4=75=8I hope 9 will bring flamenco guitars back
>>584250623MY BLUE SKY HOME
I wish there was an alternate install that scrubbed all of on-foot the cutscene assets and replaced them with prerendered non-interactive videos.
>>584256157I wouldn't have a problem if they were just normal cutscenes but usually I'm trying to do something and holding the cutscene button and making the camera spin and focus for a few seconds is not what I want to do while in the middle of a death loop straight into the ground>>584256815Yeah, Sort of like multiple operation zones and taking out one means you have to deal with whatever was in the other one in a future mission. Like grabbing the Ladon on the runway in mission 7 would give you a different squadron in the later encounter.
>>584255315I think 5's story was more cinematic and always gripped me more, Zero also has some of this vibe too. They did do a very good job this time around though with regard to the story but It just didnt hit like the others did.
>>584257112Should i play Assault Horizon?Also, should i play Assault Horizon Legacy(the AC2 remake with the confusing name)?
what does coster even do
>>584257272It doesn't help that Baxter and tasha suddenly become mentally ill around missions 13-19
>Dealer>Pike>High Roller>these twoWho would win if you got them all at a poker table?
>>584257457>keep Tasha entertained because he's the only one close in age to her>keep her from killing herself by flying into the path of a missile>select the music during celebrations because he's the only person in the endurance with good musical tasteThat's about it.
>>584257432No.Ass Horizon is not an Ace Combat game.Do not play Ass Horizon. Do not discuss Ass Horizon. Do not acknowledge its existence. It was a mistake. An insult to the fans that they're now earning forgiveness for. Just don't. Nothing good will come of it.
>>584257472As if almost all of 5's characters arent giga-retards for almost the entire game
>>584257629I wouldnt bet on High Roller and Vespa at least
>>584257432Assault Horizon is shit but worth a playthrough nonetheless just to see the low point of the AC series. The 3ds game is actually pretty fun
>>584257432legacy is alright if a bit weird since it's a 3DS gameAH is odd. I'm blaming it for the horrible stealth sequences they keep trying to make happen. Good music though. Plane alerts being in the different languages is also super cute.
>>584257432You shouldn't do anything, your time on Earth is limited and not to be wasted. Do you want to spend precious hours on AssHorizon when you could do something else that you will smile on fondly when you're in your deathbed?
>>584257432I really wish they'd port Legacy to anything other than the mcfucking 3DS
Should i play the Armored Core games? Will they give me the same power fantasy feelings AC does ?
>>5842577085 felt consistentTasha literally goes all quess for no reason
>>584257924At least for AC6 I can confirm yes though in general I think its just very common that you start from being a nobody to being the Grim Reaper
>>584257629Stonks guy has a 100% win rate so he seems the safest bet, although Dealer has a tendency to pull trump cards and Pike has a record of beating insanely stacked odds.
where is the mod to skip the 50 screens of company logos and bullshit legal copy I have to sit through every time I boot the fucking game
>>584257924AC4 and onwards, yeah. Older titles are worth playing but a bit scrappier. Last Raven without taking advantage of imported saves will beat you up a bit before you figure out how it works.
>>584257924No they're more abstract and crypticOnly 6's narrative feels like it has any amount of intrigue though
>>584257924Armored Core 6 feels basically like an Ace Combat game with robots with all the radio chatter and whatnot
>>584258171Did you know that the Eurofighter Typhoon is one of the world's top air superiority fighters?
>>584257924Armored Core 6 is de facto an Ace Combat game with giant robots.
>>584257457he jamsBut seriously though I feel like canonically he'd be an EA-18G pilot, it'd explain a lot about both his character arc and Joker flight's purpose in the war in the months before Cope died
>>584258290It's such a bad flex when there's like 3-4 fighter plane manufacturers
>>584258376>>584258259>>584258258>>584258254>>584258042Thanks bro, are their self contained? Or can i just start with 6?
>>584257924I'm actually playing AC6 right now. Rusty is cool a fuck.
I want to replay Zero now that I got it bundled with AC8, I vaguely remember one path being harder than the other due to you facing off more difficult squadrons, which one was it?
>>584258470mercenary gives you the hardest ace fights iirc
Toprak? More like Topkek
>>584258443Generally self contained>>584258457<< Buddy >>
>>584258568ToprACK
>>584258443some are self-contained, some are direct sequels6 is stand alone, you can start there just fine
>>5842584433>SL iirc is a continuityAnd literally no other game was a continuity iircIt's just that spicy red 9 and moonlight are series staples
>>584258470Merc is harder but the money's better, and it's the opposite for Knight
>>584258568>shoots down Cope>does absolutely nothing the entire game>shows up in the second to last mission and is immediately shot downMihay and his invincibility frames was better.
>>584258443Most are self-contained, you can start right away with 6, it's in a completely new sub-universe.
>>584258470Sucks that they omitted achievements for PC. Why the fuck did they do that?

>>584258537>>584258693Awesome, I wanted to have the hardest playthrough I can get, so merc it is.
>ruins your S rank
>>584258720What the fuck do you care if your friends know you did or didn't beat the game
>>584258760<< So it's time for me to go >>
Is the Triumphant belkan since it speaks german
>>584258635>literally no other game was a continuity iircnexus and last raven follow silent line (though they are basically their own little duology)4 and four answer are their own continuity5 and verdict day are also their own continuityfor what it's worth 5 kind of sucks and verdict day is kinda okay but most people skip both
>>584258927>Most money>Hardest playthrough Lmao if your plane can turn well enough and accelerate fast enough the game Is solved
>>584258635Aren't 4 through Verdict Day the same universe at different points?
>>584257142I really don't see where this comparison of 4 with 7 comes from, other than being Erusea again 7 had references from all games from the trilogy and the way of its storytelling is nothing like 4 and more like 5.
>>584259080Hardest difficulty-wise, I might fly an f15 to match my buddy
>Chandelier>Only one flying inside the barrel to damage itThese fucks are completely clueless, I didn't even play AC6 and I know how to do it.

>>584259068>4 and 4AYou know I forgot theye were different games4 is just so barebones I refused to consider it an actual title it was that unmemorableLove 4 though>5 kinda sucksBetween the stringent ammo and slow pace it reminds me of chrome hounds
>>584258720Because it's a 20 year old freebie they're giving you without putting any pointless effort into it
>>584252352>tired of american carrier planesmaybe yuros should start building carriers then lmao
>>584259398The Russians have them. They suck, but they exist.
>>584259395the console versions have it though, they just skimped out on PC
>>584259161both were a new gen game on which the future of the series dependedboth were good, but limited in scope both were followed up by better gamesI didn't say they're the same game, I said they represent the same step in the series' growth
>>584259259Sorry but that's fucking stupidIn fact I like it when a game includes an achievement that is a mark of OCD and being shit
>>584257924>Should i play the Armored Core games?Yes except Nine Breaker and Formula Front.>Will they give me the same power fantasy feelings AC does ?Yes and no, they're not designed to make you feel as monstrous as you are in Ace Combat but you can still pull off some very impressive shit with some practice and the skill ceiling is high, so they're satisfying to git gud at. 4th gen PvP is notoriously hard to follow because of all the movement autism. That said, people overrate the franchise's difficulty, LR gets jerked off as "omg le hardest fromsoft game" but if you get through the prior games it's not that bad. Keep in mind that tweaking your parts to suit the mission and having multiple presets is expected, specialization is your friend.>>584258443>>584258635>Or can i just start with 6?Yes, they're not quite "self contained" but striated into smaller continuities.>AC1 > PP > MoA>AC2 > AC2AA>AC3 > SL > Nexus > (NB is here) > LR>AC4 > AC4A>ACV > ACVDAnd then 6 is currently standalone. Third gen has sorta-save-imports so you can carry shit between AC3 and SL and then from Nexus to NB and then LRMost of the games are emulatable but V and VD might be tricky depending on your PC and iirc use a custom Xenia fork, >>>/m/acg has a good guide.
>>584259469It's a separate game on console. Steam is just dlc. Counts as AC8 playtime.

>>584258774Assassin's Creed didn't do a 6th numbered entry yet
>>584259161>7 had references from all games from the trilogydoubters will deny the fact that Battle for Farbanti is just referencing 6 all the way down. Down to the music.>>584259305>it reminds me of chrome houndsA little, but chromehounds was way better at it since they leaned harder in that direction. 5 is grappling with a bunch of ideas and on top of that the missions in general kinda suck. I actually like 4 loads even if it's a slow burn. I know why people love FA more but 4 ticks the boxes for me.
>>584255304I think the problem with in person cutscenes is that they should have way more of them for them to be really good, but having more of them is really expensive, ultimately adds nothing to the gameplay and bloats up the game size and system requirements.I enjoyed them, but I'm not sure if they should be the future for AC9. That money could probably be spent better.
>Zero's PC port was a preorder bonus>did not preorder because i was watching my spending>one of the few preorder bonuses in history that is not purchaseable after launch because of licensing issuesFUCKFUUUUUUUUCK
>dealer's mentor he's been alluding to all game taught him how to be a gambler>Proceeds to be obsessed with cakesWhat happened?!
>>584259929no
>>584232406Humbly, I think the F-35 being carrier capable is oversold. By the point you unlock them there's only one carrier locked mission Mission 26, which can be full cleared by the starter F-18C's UGBs. Just pick whichever one you like best.
>>584257924I only played Armored Core 1 and Armored Core 6I liked both for different reasons, and AC6 is detached in the form of having 'buddies' on the field until the very end when certain people side with you, there's some cool characters in briefing and a lot of corposlop that tickled my Neucom vs GR brainAlso you need to beat the game 3 times to get all the endings but you get to make different choices and ng+/ng++ actually gets completely new missions at times so it's not a painhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK43Ircbsxk
>>584260073What's stopping you from emulating it?
>>584260130yes
>>584260073Code resellers may still have it, I got the preorder bonus for Mad Max that way.
>>584259986I like 4A because you really can purpose build an AC to S rank specific missionsToo bad the fun guns like the gatling shoulders evaporate the mission payout>>584260073If it helps you feel better it looks great but the game has aged not well
>>584260073People decoupled ACZ from 8 and it's been on torrents since day1.
>>584260073I'm sure it'll be piratable some day, if it isn't already included in pirate downloads
>>584259017It speaks Scandinavian't
>>584260073You can pirate it right now. It costs nothing since the Steam port for it is non-functional anyway and doesn't even have achievements or anything of the sort. I'd pirate it myself but I don't like not having 4 and 5 to go with it.

The ZERO launcher takes me back to Windows XP days.

Okay guys what i should do in mission 8?I have freezed timer, 0 rockets and 2% hp. Radio said about last stand and flag and then silent.

>>584260895For local multi-player, duh
>>584252352desu I'd also like it if the Chinese could get around to actually making their superplane so next Ace Combat we can have more than the same trio of F-22/F-35/Su-57.
>>584260630Supports all modern resolutionsIncluding supporting splitscreen
So what's the point of the drop tanks?
>>584261216Looking cool
>>584261216Aestheticsunironically
>>584261216you get an extra deployment for no fuel cost if you keep them the whole mission
>>584260895>He doesn't know that game had splitscreen VS and a minimally armed race mode in the AC5 tunnel
>>584261216To look cool dropping it. Literally
>>584261059I am not a chink shill but they already have a more or less equivalent to these in the J-20, I mean, you included the Su-57.
Honestly, if Project Aces runs out of ideas they can go and revive another dead sony IP by tying it into strangereal and make a new wipEout game.
>>584237570>Hans GrimmCompletely different guy but JP Dealer's voice gave me a similar vibe to JP Grimm's voice. Both huge nerds.
>>584261386We need a PA Macross game.
>>584261386The only logical thing to do now is a tank game set in strangereal
>>584261310Also there was a mode with realistic loadouts
Wish me luck.
>>584261216>go for a sortie with the drop tanks>the shadows show up>DEALER pivots you 1 vs 10>«It's a terrible plan, isn't it?»> ->NO>Drop fuel tanksWhat more do you need?
>>584261364It was the J-35 I was thinking of, totally forgot about the J-20. Curious what the licensing contract procedure would even look like to get those into an Ace Combat game, but they don't seem to have any trouble with Sukhoi and Mikoyan.
>>584261216To avoid evil tanker drones
>>584261597Have fun on Chandelier with retarded dad gamers
>>584261386We will never get the Metal Gear inspired AC game
>>584258707You can say the same about Jobber 13>shoots down a plane that crashes into the narrator's house>aura farms in a bar >does nothing of note for the whole game>gets yelled at by children>shows up late to the final battle of the war and dies immediately
>>584261678I think it's more that sukhoi/mikoyan seem to have a long standing history of not giving a fuck
>>584261678>they don't seem to have any trouble with Sukhoi and Mikoyan.Neither are "commercial" organizations in the same way Lockheed Martin or SAAB etc. are, so they literally don't give a shit and probably treat it as free advertising for the Russian MIC.Also, even if they cared, what would they do? Sue PA?
>>584261801His caramel waifu bit it you have to pick up on that
>>584252352As neat as they would be to see I don't think the likes of the Buccaneer, Etendard or Scimitar would be something people would want to fly. Yak-41 or that naval version of the Jaguar that never saw service may be interesting though.
>>584261801It's very funny to think that Erusea had Mihaly stashed in a warehouse while they were letting Jobber 13 run around. >>584261935>>584262082I had no idea they didn't actually license the Slavplanes, lmao. That clears up a lot.
>>584261597sigh
>>584261386I was honestly half expecting a driving section in AC8 that would turn into Ridge Racer.
Name me a tan skin girl who doesn't get shot down in Ace combatEven avril gets shot down
>>584261216Autism
>>584262167Looks like an approximation of a typhoon, but just looks better
>>584261678Back after AC7 released, Chengdu actually sent a brochure advertising their planes and said they have a lot of fans in the company. They clearly wanted to add Chinese planes, but couldn't get permission. Probably because some chink in the state doesn't want their planes depicted being shot down or flown by the bad guys.
>>584262467Yeah but the vampire girl with zero melanin gets shot down multiple times on her own so it balances out
>>584262467I have an answer in mind, but I think someone's invariably gonna say"well, there's no reason to think she wasn't shot down before"or "I mean, it's heavily implied that _________"or "to be fair, that doesn't count because __________"and stuff like that, so I leave it to
>>584262467jackpot 9 is tan
Please give me some hope for the online getting better
>>584248180UGB radius is too small and online parts are weak so you can't improve it. You really want UGBLs online. And trying to make a "do everything" plane like you would in the campaign is straight up worse than focusing on a single thing.SAAMs are good for tricking players but worthless for farming points by killing the NPCs, which is generally more important.

Every rival ace is a jobber if you really think about tit
>>584263973
>>584264050Not Mihay, and I think he's the exception that proves how to do it correctly.What you want from an enemy ace is a sense of threat and experience, rather than just being told "this guy is the top ace, WATCH OUT!"So what you do is have him on the periphery, always out of reach. Invincibility frames are bad, but if your objectives are on one side of the map and he's on the other side of the map then he can participate while also saving his fight for the climax.
>>584259945Italy has a carrier too. It even had 2 of them until 2024.

Yellow Squadron engages Mobius 1 multiple times throughout the campaign with the balance of power gradually shifting from the Yellows being an invincible stage hazard to Mobius 1 defeating them all.>Mission 5: Lifeline.Mobius 1 gets Joker's "Are we running?: NO" moment vs yellow squadron. Except instead of facerolling the yellows, they are an invincible force of nature and you must withdraw.>Mission 8: Shattered SkiesYellow squadron shows up to the rocket launch. Their stats are pumped to high heaven, but you are permitted to wound one. Yellow squadron withdraws if one of the Yellows starts trailing smoke.>Mission 12: StonehengeYellow squadron shows up to defend Megalith, and you successfully shoot down Yellow 4.

Does anyone know if Moon 11 is invincible prior to her saying "I won't hold back"? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to just wait for the fight to start or if I'm supposed to be trying to put some pressure on her during this dialogue section. On harder difficulties I suspect that my missile supply will be a lot smaller and I won't want to waste any during a scripted invulnerable section.

new mission?
>>584270127If you answer yes or no "correctly" you forestall the start of the fight
AC Zero on PC does not give you an option to quit it, since it's a PS2 title, so you have to always ALT F4 the game. They didn't even think of that.
>>584270437That'd be $20.
For some reason AC8 gave me more of the "This was definitely translated from Japanese" vibes. Lot more of those >4 characters repeating the same thing one after the other sequences they adore.

F-35 should be considered an attacker
>>584271493Yeah
>>584271108Not inventive enough. Sotoan superweapon should be dropping a megasheep from orbit.
Moon 11's fight was significantly more enjoyable than Jobber 22.

How do I go after the ace in M15 without the fleet getting destroyed?
>>584271831Make the sheep out of concrete and we might be into something
Just saw the single MiG-21 player online besides myself when I wanted to try SASM for a few levels

>>584271108Nukes are much more taboo in Strangereal than IRL because of the events of Zero
>>584272089Send a LAAM at max range for him, the AI doesn't respond well against that. And leave the remaining bomber with one of the engines destroyed to make it easier to shoot it down when you come back.
>>584272089Use the Foxhound to shittershatter the first Fuscus before the first bomb run, immediately balls to the wall to the ace, then high G and same back to the second Fuscus. They can do three passes IIRC before failure, and you're fast enough to only need 1 and still S rank.
>>584270563Boom-and-zooming with SASMs while lobbing LACMs at targets across the battlefield
>>584272089Rush the corner of the map where the bombers enter the area and immediatley start going after their main engines with HPAAs. Spec your plane to have as much top speed as possible. First time around I had a ton of trouble but after specing your plane the right way on the second go I got S on Ace pretty easily. I think I used the F15J
>>584231534is she famous for someone other than Maomao? surely you don't mean maomao
>>584233998Not in a long time, but if you're a fan of the franchise, you very much should play it. Final boss is strangely hard on normal controls though, i had to switch to novice to finally beat it just so i could get more shots to land on target
>>584235938Well Mihayl also has timed armor. It only takes 4 shots total to take him down in his strike wyvern, but you need you wait for each phase to do more actual damage
