It's actually a blend of Call of Duty and games like Gran Turismo. Like car games, you just can't play Ace Combat games and enjoy them unless you're a plane nerd. Boring with no Depth, horrible gameplay, generic as fuck. It's like the people making these games are doing it out of chore rather than actually being inspired.

You don't play them at all.

Non AC-fag here, are the PS1 games worth playing? People here mostly seem to talk about 4 onwards.

What the fuck am I looking at here, I've never played ace combat but I'm interested now

The (superior) JP release of AC3 has got an English patch and is 100% worth playing. Works perfectly on Retroarch using the PCSX emulator. /aceg/ has a guide on how to play it.

Yes. Especially AC3 JPN, because it is a sequel of AC7

Attached: Outmaneuvered.webm (1920x1080, 1.53M)

1 is pretty dated but okay if you really want to. 2 is great. 3 is also good if you play the JP version with the translation patch.

Play 2 and the fan translation of 3. 1 is kinda rough.

AC3JP is pretty good. Just started playing it for the first time myself yesterday. AC2 is good, but the controls are mad squirrely. It has a fucking stellar OST, though.

They're surprisingly functional, even when compared to the modern engines.

Just standard AC gameplay

Of course most people in here wouldn't know that.

It's hilarious.
Keep making threads. This series is amazing and deserves it

>Of course most people in here wouldn't know that.
What's that supposed to mean? I never got to play AC6 but it looks like it's fun, I dig the cheesiness, and people say it's the peak of actual gameplay.

He's right though. No reason to shill for another Gran Turismo: Plane Edition.

this guy is like the autistic fag that ruins every kh and ffXV thread with his autism

I have a really dumb question but is this possible irl?

>being this salty because user is right

Haha, kid. Now kindly go an hero.

Factually wrong as I never gave a fuck about planes before but Ace Combat made me like them and the games are great on their own right. It's a much better series than MGS too.

Remember user, shitposters don't care about dead franchises. The price Ace Combat, Mega Man, etc. etc. pay for receiving new games and becoming relevant once more, even if just for a while, is that people will flock to it and attempt to shit on it because "that's the Yea Forums thing to do, right?"
It being a PC release has legitimately very little to do with it. Don't get in the mindset of console war shitposting. It'll blow over sooner or later.
I, for one, hope for this the same thing I hoped for Mega Man 11. That it's good enough a success to incentivize new releases and keep the franchise trucking, tempered with modest sales expectations, because this ain't GTA VI we're talking about after all.

It'll be emulated soon. Finally

If you had pilots and planes made of adamantium and could ignore physics, yeah. At extremely high Gs like that the wings would shear off and the pilot would probably black out, not to mention the momentum would carry the plane right into the side of the stadium.

>Space Elevator music is hype
>Plays for roughly 30 seconds in an anticlimatic "fight" against the drone circling around
What a shame.
Thankfully, the rest of the game was mostly great fun. Flying through the platforms during one of those "get X points" missions, the stealth mission where you hear marines on the radio while you assfuck everything in sight, chasing Mr X through the clouds and mountains, fighting Sol Squadron, defending Stonehenge (more for the hype than the mission itself), etc.
10/10 in what it does, no regrets and lived up to my expectations in gameplay.

Maybe, but good luck getting any sane test pilot to try it.

>MGS series
3 good games (1, 2 and 3)

Stay seething samefag.

How do you even do this? Serious question. I've only flown the MiG-29 (because I loved it) but it can't do shit like that unless I'm missing something.

Fuck off, fatboy. You know you're a net drain on society and should remove yourself from the equation. You're just too cowardly to do it.

Yeah, people meme out that it's bad because of the whole super cheesy "Dance with the Angels" spiel. Lucky for me, I eat goofy nonsense like that up, so I'm still interested. That ending theme (I assume) is also one of my favorite AC tracks ever.

I hope I get to play it sometime soon.

>People are actually discussing a game, so IPs don't go up
>HURR, MODS. DELETE THIS VIDEO GAME THREAD
Rent free

Pilots will black out long before modern materials sheer. Pretty much every airframe since the F-15 on can endure far more stress than the pilot.

IIRC, only SUs and F-22s can do shit like that.

So is GTFag the next XV-kun?

He means that the troll samefag is samefagging here which is true. Don't take his side buddy

These games are a 4/10 at best, maybe a 6/10 if you're a planefag. MGS is one of the greatest games of all time and not generic shovelware flying garbage. Don't ever compare the two.

Brake to about 250 knots, let go of the brake, hit L1+R1 and sharply tilt the left stick back. It's pretty finicky, but with some practice in free flight it's not too hard to pull off consistently. Not every plane can do it, but fortunately the Fulcrum is one of them. If I remember right, the F-18, F-35, F-22, Wyvern, and every Russian plane besides the MiG-21 and MiG-31 can do it.

AC6 has a unique slot in the franchise. It's story is easily the worst next to AH, but it's gameplay is top-tier. The memes exclusively revolve around the story, and that's why people who haven't played it expect the worst.

Only certain planes can do it. Any of the SU planes, F-22, F-35,and X-02. I think one of the migs can do it too.

Its like Ace combat 4 vol 2.

Seeth

MGS isn't even in the top five of stealth action games. Faggots like you never played a real stealth-action game though, so you think MGS is something special.

>didn't even get to kill him for that

Sure him being forever grounded in his old age is the last laugh but goddamnit I wanted blood for Brownie.

Can I just say how fucking lazy this game is by making the main character a blank slate? He's not relatable at all and is a literal Mary Sue where everyone treats him as the second coming of Jesus. This should be acceptable at all.

Fuck. It's the Belkans all over again.

>haha le bait, solitary xD
Make an argument at any time faglord.

MiG-29, F-18, F-35, and Su-33 can do a partial PSM, aka the "cobra"
Planes with thrust vectoring like the F-22 and more advanced Flankers can do a full PSM, aka the "kulbit"
You can't do them in most planes, like the F-16 or Mirage or MiG-21. This is realistic, only a few planes are aerodynamically capable of this stuff (which is honestly more of an airshow trick than a valid fighting tactic)

He killed Brownie. A dumb rookie in over her head. He killed Wiseman. The only fucker who'd be crazy like Trigger AND had faith in Trigger.

I want his death, not some poetic justice.

Happy to help. Not the most practical maneuver honestly, but it does look fuckin' sweet.

I believe they're typically at very high altitude, or further away from the actual combat zone maybe.

It's a game series that is liked for it's anime story, it's timeless gameplay, and it's impressive track record sans Assault Horizon, which is the literal example of "we want a broader audience" . It has it's niche, and it seems a lot of that niche is here.

If you're not going down the D route, do so, much higher scoring levels. And don't worry too much about higher scoring enemies, if you have the opportunity to kill them, definitely do it, but the bonus for having a lot of time left is pretty hefty too.

as this is my first ace combat game, should i even bother with the story? i try to follow along but find it hard to pay attention, and a lot of the time i just want to skip the pre-mission briefings because, you know, i want to play the actual game.

What kind of challenges can I go for when replaying these games?
Ace Difficulty? S Ranks?

Mission 11
That one was also ez if you brought the right weapons, taking out the all north platforms cores can net you 15,000 pts in less than a minute

It just feels very AAA going off the production values and how "cinematic" it feels. But Japan has always been good at making something small seem much grander than it is through clever design.

If you don't play AC with HOTAS then you might as well kill yourself

If you bought something like an X-56 or a Warthog for AC7, you are clinically retarded.

Watch the mission briefings at the very least. They're important for deciding what plane configuration to take into the battle.

Briefings are unironically important in AC, all missions have very different parameters and "gimmicks" that'd probably kick your ass if you didn't pay attention to the briefings

Attached: 1550322624811.png (665x598, 271K)

Doesn't it make you an easy target slowing down so much?

The story is designed to be relatively self-contained, it loses some weight here and there if you're not familiar with other games but it's not the end of the world. But user is right, the briefings are important so you have an idea of what you're going up against and why.

The prerendered cutscenes are a side story that give story context, the actual briefings are important for strategizing beforehand.

>and how "cinematic" it feels
That's AC for you. It's amazing how they make plane cutscenes look cool even if they're just flying in a straight line.

Yes that's the whole point, PSM's are risky but can be very powerful if used at the right time/place

There are achievements for
>no damage campaign run
>guns only run
>a speedrun of less than 4 hours

In addition to S-ranking missions on Ace.

While playing Ace Combat with a HOTAS is great, it only ever required a console-tier HOTAS, which is what the HORI Flightsticks and the Thrustmaster T.Fligh HOTAS One/4 are.

Collect medals, go ace hunting, do specific loadouts, could be your planefu or the shittiest plane (hint : MiG 21 is NOT the shittiest plane) or something. There are medals for MG only run, no damage run, and 4 hour run. Looking for extra dialogues are fun too (there are triggers to some dialogue, or simply staying long enough before completing the mission).

I wish more ACs were on PC. I really want to play more of them, especially Zero and AC6, but I'm not going back to those systems.

How much are these flightsticks anyway? I've never played the game with anything but a controller.

AC5 and Zero emulate well if you have a decent PC.
AC2, AC3 and ACX emulate well even on toasters.

No, listen and pay attention to everything or you'll be in a world of pain during missions because you'll barely understand your purpose and what you actually need to do in critical moments

It'll die down in a few months. This is simply the price we pay for AC being back in the spotlight for once.

That shit happened to me in 6 when I brought along a F-117 to the desert level before Weapons of Mass Destruction. I never knew Strigon team would appear, and I got my ass fucking handed to me

The thing is, you don't need to "support" anythint, at least not on PC. You should be able to plug in a Guitar Hero controller or a racing wheel, and map those buttons. If only some controllers work, it's because the devs specifically wanted restrict the game. Which just seems silly to me. Glad I got this on PS4, I'd be butthurt if my T16000 didn't work.

Fuck your safespace

Yeah, from what I heard, you can't even rebind the keyboard and mouse controls in AC7!

We know that we're getting the Falken, the Morgan, and mini-campaign against the most evil character in AC history

The game is very easily completeable the entire way through with an A-10 on normal mode.

You never actually need attackers anyway. The only game where attackers were useful is actually Infinity because of how hard some targets were, but in all the mainline games this never happens, all the ground targets are AAs or Sams that anything can shot down

Hopefully idolplanes

Is there any indication if the Falken and Morgan will have high-end special weapons too?

Thanks. I was hoping to hear that.

In 4 was there some special deal with the asteroids or was it just something that happened? Felt like a big coincidence that another set of asteroids hit during the final mission against the replacement superweapon. Like I missed something important.

It's the best of the faster tracks. As for slower ones, I like this one. It hits the mark on the whole "from despair to resolve" trope.

youtube.com/watch?v=1cZ4q9oCt9o

The game is an arcade funbox best played with controller to get most out of it, flight sticks are just not intended for the gameplay.

PCSX2 was recently patched to fix the graphical errors on hardware mode which will definately be the easiest way to play it. I played at 2x native res with a 960m with constant 60FPS

There's also tanks (which take TWO missiles to kill) and some of the score attack missions have boats, but sinking them isn't required to get enough points. So yeah. No need for attackers or bombers.

Looks cool but I dont think its worth the price tag just yet, Ill wait and see

If 11 is the naval op unlock an f/a 18. It has an anti ship missile which makes fleet destruction so easy it's criminal

>escort missions
>score missions with a ridiculously strict timelimits
i'm enjoying the game well enough, but the mission design is really hit or miss

True, the F4 knocks the shit out of any ground fotarget, and they become even easier pickings with the YF-23. UGBs rip apart anything.

Blowing up all the cores alone is enough to hit the score threshold on ace.

Agree
but ostwise AC2>>>>>>ACAHL

This is about Cape Rainy Assault isn't it
It's my favorite mission by far

>score missions with a ridiculously strict timelimits
How bad do you have to be to think the timelimits are anything but lenient as fuck, let alone "strict"
And the only bad escort mission was mission 10, the rest were fine

i really don't like the weather gimmick

F-15C with PSL is the only acceptable way to clear that mission

Reminder:

And God made Eruseans to constantly lose their capital

That is all. Carry on.

You have to play through the whole campaign again to get that 765k bonus I think

>it's a I don't use bombs so I fly straight down and shoot at ground targets mission
I feel like I am doing these things completely wrong but it seems to always work.

no, i actually beat it on my first try without any problems. for me it's mostly missions 8, 11 and 12. i'm on mission 17 atm, so i don't have an opinion on the rest of the missions.

This is my first ace combat game and i just reached stage 6. To me it feels like 15 minutes are not enough to get 17k points. I used air to ground missiles but it seems like the buildings aren't worth much. I think im bad at the game, i mean i thought for a lot of time that F was the keybind for chaff and i changed weapons so that i could change targets. For the longest time i thought lockon was automatic. Any tips?

The F-15 is the only plane you should use in that mission considering the Strider intro.

The mission where you have to escort some guy while having your radar down and have to identify each target almost broke me. it doesn't help you have two mission with that shit

>He couldn't squeeze through the radar sites because of the current

I know, but that mission is bad because you're just sitting around doing nothing after you destroy the sam sites, waiting for the next group of fighters to spawn, it's the only mission where I feel like I'm babysitting a big, slow, open target
All the rest were fine

There are 3 bombers that spawn at the closest base. Those are like 1.2k points each.

This is my issue.

Destroy the bombers
Take out the Gripens in the tunnel before they take off (they won't show up as targets but you can still gun them down)
The drones give you a lot of pts and can all be downed in one missile

I found all the bomb variants far more effective. got 31k on my first fleet try with unguided

To be fair you are babysitting the cargo.

You can basically understand everything that goes on in any AC story if you just take one look at the "Strangereal" world map and take note of where [countries at war in X game] are located and what their geography is like.

So i should go for the LAAMs?

I love 11 and 12 though, they both reward speedy bombing and using special weapons wisely. 8 is a bit filler tho yeah.

The bombers are on the ground so you can literally bomb them to pieces before they take off.

Yeah but it's the only one that feels tedious and boring
Cape Rainy and Last Hope were fine since the escorts could hold their own most of the time and you had plenty of other targets to attack

Take out actual threats (fighters, SAM sites) with missiles, then slow down and use the machine gun to clean up. A single slow strafing pass kills more than five panicked flyovers firing two missiles each. Also early planes don't have big enough payloads to wipe out the entire map - sure you can go to the return line, but that takes time.

Use bombs, rockets, or air-to-ground missiles
Were you taking A2A missiles on a ground pound mission this whole time?

See the base that's in the middle of bigass cliffs? Where everything's spread out and in a million canyons? Ignore it. Only go for the airfield (closest enemy base to spawn) and the farthest base that's wide out in the open. Maybe the smaller outposts and truck convoys too if you're bored. Should be easy to get to the point minimum before the drones spawn, then you can just run away for five minutes if you're not confident in taking them on.

I took the air-to-ground first and went for the cliff base. I reached the point where the drones appear and failed. The second time i went for A2A and went to the third base after defeating the base near the spawn point. I chose A2A for the drones since they are much easier to deal with.

>AC8 better have us flying through hurricanes, tornadoes, supercells and volcanic ash
>flying through volcanic ash
I think you mean crashing through volcanic ash. flying through the sandstorm was incredulous enough.

SU57 has pulse lasers which are frankly quite OP and make everything a breeze.
F22 doesn't have anything else except QAAMs which aren't all that good for anything else except boss dogfights, which the pulse lasers do better anyway due to their very forgiving hitbox and because they don't cause the target to take evasive maneuvers.

I like it, but man I'm not accustomed to not having your objective shouted at you every minute. I keep failing missions because I keep dogfighting instead of bombing.

Because they don't want to admit their oh-so perfect IFF system could've been compromised

Rare exception. They ground aircraft during sandstorms, you know. Flying though one produces significant wear and tear and erosion on the airframe, leading edges, and engines. Prolonged flight through a sandstorm will, at best, severely reduce the engines lifetime and require major overhauls, and at worst probably cause engine flameouts and loss of power, depending on the severity and density of the storm

Do you not pay attention to the briefings or the pre-mission digital sand table?

I just noticed that planes fly a little faster at 75% throttle than at full. What the fuck is with that? That makes absolutely no sense.

Not particularly but I do have the attention span of a 2 year old, so it wouldn't make a difference if I knew what was going on.

I enjoyed how game painted the total collapse that would happen if our satellite networks go down. Really made me think

It's a shame they didn't utilize him more, I would have liked to develop that adversarial relationship over more missions.

I gave up on expert controls around mission 6. I don't think the game is designed with the expectation that you're using anything but the standard flight scheme.

Like, the time limits are so tight that it seems impossible to be juking missiles while also effectively bombing ground targets etc with expert controls. Meanwhile with standard, you stay oriented downwards so you can drop bombs no problem.
(I mean I'm sure it's possible but it was a massive fucking difficulty wall around that point with the shitty planes you have that early)

Holy shit. I was just saying in another thread that a speculative link between AC and MGS is cool because the last couple of MGS games seem to have hints that the Metal Gears eventually develop into Orbital Frames.

(Which sounds less crazy if you've played Policenauts/Snatcher/ZoE since they all suggest pretty strongly that they share a universe somehow with MGS)

Which still works because I've suspected there were some references even in the older games.
Actually I think there might be a whole bunch of sneakily interconnected Japanese series where the devs consider them to share a universe Marvel-style, even though they've never revealed it and it's not canon. Especially lately it feels like a whole bunch of stuff that should be unrelated are starting to converge.

I mean, there's a reason I was trying to play this one with expert controls too. Maybe I just suck all of a sudden.

If you pay attention to your radar, you can be more efficient with your missile dodging instead of just frantically going in circles whenever you hear an alert. You don't even need to take any action if an enemy plane is firing at you from a 90 degree andgle, and you only need a quick turn a few seconds before impact to dodge one coming from behind you. The people crying about the constant enemy missiles are just pussies who freak out when their HUD turns red.

Use the F4-E and UGBs. You can wipe out two of three bases easily with those.

AC6 gave me something I never would've anticipated, a reason to own an Xbone. Is the backwards compatibility worth a damn?

I geniunely hope AC8 completely removes standard/novice controls and just focuses on strengthening the normal/expert controls so we can filter out all the shitters

How do I beat the 2 drones in mission 20?

just git gud?

Use brakes and thrust at the same time to make tight maneuvers

Shoot them with missiles, or use your gun if you prefer

Shoot them when they're firing their lasers, they slow down and give you an opening

how does it run on ps4 pro

Yeah, I know. You don't even need to turn, you can often just do a very slight barrel roll at the last second and keep your heading, which feels ace as fuck.

I'm in withdrawal from a couple things atm so I'm just gonna blame my apparent retardation on that. I didn't think it was affecting me much but I guess it's slowing me down.

Man, it's not even possible to NOT hit them with your ~100 standard missiles.

Now I'm just wondering here how you're gonna pull the tunnel part after you take them down...

>How the fuck, they're the most lenient timers in the entire series
Not really, AC always have lenient timers but for first timers 7 definitely has the most restrictive timer. Many here reported they couldn't pass Long Day and Fleet Destruction and Rescue only has 1 minute to shoot down the trailing drones so some might get caught up in dogfight. Escort missions I felt are easier to kill, god knows how many times they're dead because I was not god enough in low level plane.

Mind blown.

1080p, but nearly perfect 60fps. Occasional dips but only on certain missions and only briefly.

>just play 4,5, and 0 in that order.
Are they not interconnected anyways or whats the logic behind that play order?
I don't know why but for some reason but I've been hesitating to get into this series for almost a year now because its so hard to get a feel for it from an outside perspective

>pick f22
>pick qaam
>put modules for special weapon guidance, flight distance, speed and amount

>PROFIT

Reporting all cockpit view fags. What's your least favorite cockpit view? The SU Fullback is a great plane but FUCK that limited right view cause of the copilot seat.

if you're hesitating, just watch Area 88. If that tickles your nipples then load up all the games.

That makes me feel better. Everything Mission 6/Long Day then has been much easier so I'll try switching back because I definitely prefer Expert.
Fighting Mr X., the dam missiles and that one ace drone were a pain in the ass with Standard because it fights you whenever you need to go vertical.

The gameplay is improved with each installment, so it's best you start with the most outdated one.

F-22 for canonical plane for Trigger.

The sexiest motherfucking plane with 4 (FOUR) fucking missiles instead of 2. And it's not in the game. That's honestly the only disappointing part of 7 for me.

pick SU-47 instead. you have

>UGB's are actually pretty good
What else do you need?

>AC always have lenient timers but for first timers 7 definitely has the most restrictive timer
This is objectively false
AC7 has 3 score missions, AC4 had 8. Only 2 missions had timers longer than 10 minutes, the rest were 10 or 7 minutes long and they had you flying to every corner of the map, hitting spread out enemies to even get close to hitting the score limit
In AC7, enemies are grouped into dense pods, and you can hit half your score quota in mere minutes with the right weapons, and this is with lower-tier aircraft like the A-10 and F-2.

I played AC4 and AC7 back to back, AC7 is far, far easier than 4

Why didn't they make a new superplane for this game?

AC3 remake with AC7 assets and a true ending that unlocks after you've played through all the arcs.

AC8 which is basically the sequel to AC3 except this time it's not a simulation. Either that or an AC3 remake but I dislike people remaking shit since it makes them creatively bankrupt.

I can't get over how much of a disaster it is IRL

How long does it take to unlock the YF23? I want to feel like I'm a Macross Plus pilot.

AC8 MUST take place in the 70s-80s in order for the series to evolve. Fuck all this 4.5 gen bullshit
We need dedicated gunfighters, jumpjets, interceptors, interdictors, etc
We need to see "archaic" retro-futuristic superweapons
We need to see a fresh take on Strangereal geopolitics without all the Belka bad, Erusea bad, or Ulysses disaster baggage
And most importantly, we need a disco/synth-infused Keiki Kobayashi soundtrack

Attached: Electric_Voodoo.jpg (3431x2272, 439K)

the YF23 was horrid

If you stick to it's tech tree branch only, you should get it by Mission 16/17

I would guess it's something yo do with how they structure their business

I guess nothing can top the F22 cockpit. A practical hud and nothing to block your view.

I want the SU57 for those sweet beamz but I've mostly been unlocking a different chain so far.
I'm on mission 17 and I'll need 3,000,000 points to get it. Is that practical or do I settle for one of the other two?

I see through your lies you dirty B*lkan.

Unless you play a shit ton of MP, you need to settle for a burgerfat fighter

Did it. Was actually pretty easy.

Why is it bad? It's not like we'll ever get to a situation where an F22 and a SU57 will be dogfighting each other irl, so it doesn't really matter.

I pirated so I guess I'm a nobeamz peasant

It really depends on what mood they're in. Sometimes they'll fly straight and even 4AAM will hit. Sometimes they're in super dodge mode and the only way you can hit them is with lasers or guns. They're pretty random.

Of course it is, it's Ace Combat actually being Ace Combat.

I wonder if Belka will just say fuck it and make bioweapons or something. Let's see the top ace fucking try and fight that.

I honestly doubt all of those things and I think you're just a shitposter.

Didn't they said there are steamcrack that allows you to play with other steamcrack user?

There's been bio-agent mission in AC before, I remember some from 3, 5 and X.

MP was legit great. But meta got figured out way too earlier and all the QAAM shitters got too annoying to deal with.

t. Commander-in-Chief

The games mostly take place in the same universe but they're all about different conflicts so story continuity isn't vital.

The only games that have major connections are 5 and Zero but you could play them in either order to get the whole picture.

>angry campbell noises in the debriefing

I've seen them shooting at me but didn't know they could hit

I like how the other characters constantly suck your dick over the radio, since everybody is mean to me IRL.

AC5 from the Razgriz side sounds pretty fuckin boring desu. Razgriz did all the interesting stuff with the Gray Men plot and skipping that would be skipping the final half of the story.

I want to see a new region of Strangereal. Maybe western Verusa or eastern Osea. Now that Ace Combat is back we can experiment more without having to nostalgia bait.

>here's that gas bombing mission from 5
>but this time the bomb is sensitive, so don't turn too hard, okay? :^)
Fuck that mission. I would rather do X2's 747 mission 10 times than doing that.

It's one of the branching mission which is decided by how you answer Chopper's question about music. The one in 5 had great radio chatter.

It's the second worst Ace Combat in the series.

Spiridus mk2 is the worst tho and boring too at that

Shit opinion, user

The plot point about Harling being shot down was dumb. A military lawyer worth his salt could've easily gotten him off on account of the battlefield being a clusterfuck. And no one saw that there was another suspicious jet right behind him that flew away?

Yeah she was, blame it on the silverstone disease that forced her to be a spaceman

If you played 5, you'd know that Osea's military justice system is all sorts of fucked

They need a scapegoat probably

Osea a shit user.

Attached: Belka ball AHEM.png (415x411, 153K)

Yeah but... the whole game suggests that the characters don't have the big picture and there's a bunch of lying and manipulation going on on both sides.

>that image
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK right OFFFFF

You're giving too much credit to "anime military tribunals".

Of course Trigger was innocent, but the story required him to be put into that penal unit.

The point is that Osea didn't want to admit to their subordinates that their IFF system got hacked, so they threw Trigger under the bus backed up with faulty eyewitnesses

He's kind of a big deal since he took the credit of Blaze and friends works, and blaming Eruseans won't work since some people already speculated a friendly fire, to satisfy all parties they decided make Trig the scapegoat

>bunch of lying and manipulation going on

THE BELKANS ARE BEHIND IT ALL
THE BELKANS DID IT

Fuck this game for making the three nations involved the three whose names I can't keep straight.

Belka is like a mix of Germany, Yugoslavia and Jews.

Why did they make up such a wierd country?

What I thought happened which makes more sense because it's about electronic warfare and it references Electrosphere:
>Harling's copter was hacked into (his comms profile flashes Yellow, like the Unknowns) and they made him fly back into the fray to get shot down
>Trigger was hacked and made to shoot down Harling
What ACTUALLY happened:
>No lol Harlin literally turned the copter around to fly back into it to protect it (???)
>You weren't hacked, there was a drone right behind you that fired a missile that somehow AWACS couldn't see (???)
This game needed better writing. Didn't they scrap the plot halfway through or something and start over/change writers?

I'd rather have AC8 take place 10-20 years in the future when they start developing aircraft designed for fighting all the way up from stratosphere to the exosphere, and start to get away from real-life planes.

It's not an opinion, it's a fact. I didn't say it was bad though.

You should literally never believe anything a Japanese studio claims about a game's development either way

Mission 9 should not exist. It kills the game for me and I drop it every time I try to replay it.

Mission 8 and 9*.

The back-to-back double whammy of annoying shit that's so painful to play.

Every good game has its blemishes but I'm still astounded that no one looked at those two and said "Maybe this isn't a great idea..."

Although normally I'd want that, the whole sci-fi thing AC does with real planes is something unique that no other series does so I wouldn't want them to get away from that.

There could be some happy medium though.

Or maybe a bunch of advanced x-planes that can do that irl will get declassified before then, lol

I unironically loved mission 9, it's just Mt Schezna and In Pursuit but with nicer graphics

>No lol Harlin literally turned the copter around to fly back into it to protect it
They never answered the Harlin's mirror riddle, and the riddle doesn't have to make sense because it's the ramblings of a traumatized teenager.

I liked both missions a lot, 9 especially. But I can see why someone wouldn't want to replay them.

Still dumb either way.

Altitude restricted missions are tolerable if you're used to it, but y'know.

8 was annoying as fuck but I really liked 9. It could get frustrating if you took a leap of faith that there would be cloud cover on the other side of the mountain, but that made the mission higher stakes. S-ranking it was fairly easy, too.

Attached: 1549875772322.png (486x491, 281K)

It's really not that bad regardless if you're used to it or not, unless you're S-ranking the mission the radars are super easy to destroy even without LACMs

that looks more like vacuum bed gimp porn though

I wouldn't mind as much if more planes had the LACMs. It's just constant dipping into the clouds for the mach 9 missile pisses me off.

How do I get my epsxe to look that good? It's a jaggy, stretched 640x480 mess no matter what I change my settings to.

It was pretty clear from the mission itself that he more than likely wasn't in control. Crashing an osprey into the lower part of the space elevator wouldn't have done shit anyway, and neither would the missiles the princess thought he was "saving" it from.

9 was the first mission I unlocked railguns for, and it was fun as fuck to pop out of the clouds and snipe a radar

He's probably using retroarch, user. Epsxe is 2005 tech.
