I agree with your main point (hidden beneath all that b8) which is that AC7 was too much of a zoomercore game instead of a classic boomercore game like most of the series, but it was still the fourth best entry, right after the PS2 trilogy.

Trilogy Ace here, what the fuck does any of this mean?

6, 3, X, I and Assault Horizon on the 3DS are also better.

>452378771
>Like AC4
AC7 was literally AC4 2.0

>AC7 is bad
What the fuck are you people on?

6, Zero, 7, 4, 5. None of the other games matter.

It was more like AC5 2.0. Aside from "muh refugees", it didn't pick up any of the plot points AC4 left behind, but picked up a lot of 5's pieces.

AC7 has high-g turns and most of the game is actually balanced around that, meaning it's very twitchy and focused around reflexes rather than the old games which are slower and focused around planning slightly ahead.
I know AC6 has high-g turns too but majority of that game was balanced like it was one of the classic games. Only like 10% of it was similar to AC7, rest was like playing one of the PS2 trilogy with cheat codes.

I was talking about AC7 compared to the classic games. The fact that it gives you a new tool but at the same time revamps the enemy behavior and how the doggofights play out ends up being a sidegrade, rather than a straigth up improvement. It does not make the old ones obsolete at all.

It was extremely barebones for the length of time they spent in development, but for switching to an entirely new engine they came out with a pretty damned polished game. Now that they've got all the assets in place it'll be interesting to see if they commit to a serious amount of fleshing out in the next entry.

Attached: 1549930377762.png (960x548, 649K)

This. Mihaly and the Drones pull off some bullshit stunts, but they give the player high G turns and post stall maneuvers, which more than makes up for it. The end result is the same "get behind agile opponent to get a good shot off" song and dance but with a little bit of flair to it. If anything, it just makes the fights take longer because even if you get a good shot off, they can just do a 100g turn at any moment to evade it, meaning you have to be even more patient when fighting them. Outside of that, it doesn't really change anything except make standard enemies easier.

I heard they restarted from scratch twice or something.

is this an AC thread?
I read when the game came out that a bunch of retards were giving it a low score because they couldn't use their flight sticks or whatever
it plays fine with a regular controller right?

6 is the worst game, together with Ridge Racer 7,JA and Advance

I've seen more complaints about 7's missions than any other game in the series I've played. The stringent point requirement in mission 6, the missile bullshit in mission 9, all those unknown targets that you have to identify before shooting and they'll shoot at you as though they'r enemies before you identify them even if they're actually allies, all those poorly scripted unpreventable deaths

>Almost everyone agrees that it's one of the worst games in the series
Stop listening to loud contrarian retards on Yea Forums. If you liked the previous games, and I assume you did otherwise you wouldn't have preordered this one, there is literally no reason you won't like 7.

It's worse than the holy trinity imo, but it's still a pretty good game.

It's not the worst game in the series, it's just not better than the PS2 games and Yea Forums likes sensationalized bullshit. It's easily top 5. Instead of refunding because of Yea Forums memes, how about showing them support for putting it out on PC and playing the first good Ace Combat in a while.

Just played all of these games. They were a waste of time.

>Almost everyone agrees that it's one of the worst games in the series

>Everywhere I've heard nothing but bad things
I guarantee 95% of those come from people who have never played AC7 before and had no idea what they were signing up for, including many who thought it was a sim.

>the desert missions
Thanks for reminding me of that god fucking awful mission where you have to hunt down those fuel trucks in a sandstorm.

These games suck and I'm glad I stayed away from them for so long.

You're so easily manipulated you'd love it if the rest of the thread starts praising it.

shit that bad huh

It was interesting playing AC6 right after AC7 on the xbone backwards compatability. (never got a chance to before, never had an xbox 3shitty)

the flight controls in AC6 felt a lot more fluid. it made AC7 feel like a slapped-together unreal game, which it likely was. it looks pretty, but the control feels kind of shitty. I can only hope they see the success of 7 and make the next game better story and gameplay-wise because 7 seems a little lacklustre compared to 4,5,0, and even 6.

My post wasn't about whether or not 5's missions were better or worse than 7's you dumbasses, it was about user's claim that 7's were "fantastic".

They're not.

And I'm not saying 7's mission roster are the best of the series, I'm just addressing your claim that "I've seen more complaints about 7's missions than any other game in the series I've played."

just listen to the two best tracks from the OSTs (usually the top results on Utube for each game) and you get 95% of the experience playing these games

I think people are disappointed because it had the potential to match the PS2 games and because it took 13 years, the expectations were way too high.
You have nothing to lose, just launch the game.

AC0 > AC04 = AC7 > AC6 > AC3 > ACX > AC5 > ACJA

It's on par with the ps2 games, people are just blinded by nostalgia

>I played 4, 5, Zero, X, JA and the first route of 3 JP. My favorite is 5.
But you haven't played 7, despite buying it? Go fucking play it and see for yourself. If 5 was your favorite of the holy trinity, then you'll like 7. Hell, if you could stomach playing through JA and 3, at the very least you'll think it's fine.

bad thread

>it had the potential to match the PS2 games
Which it did. The story and characters are merely alright enough but gameplay wise it's on par with 5 and Zero and worlds better than 4.

Probably because the game just fucking released, so of course spergs will sperg

I agree with all of those except for White Noise. The second half of that mission is fine and the soundtrack is amazing.

>My shit game isn't as great as some shit PS2 game

Yeah, gameplay wise it was really good. The characters are fine, but the story feels rushed.

Honestly, I hate to be disappointed.
I'll think about it. It would be easier to ask Valve to delete the game from my library so maybe I'll just do that.

Yeah, you're right, I forgot how much of a shitshow 5 was. I liked some of those, though, especially being stuck in an A10 for 8492 but I've also seen people they liked the unknown target thing in the latter half of 7

You should get a refund. The game was boring as shit.

Are you really this fucking pathetic that you would simply not play a new entry in a series you like just because some people on the internet said it's not a great game? It's one thing to not buy the game bu to buy and then refuse to play it? What the fuck is wrong with you?

The story is still nowhere near as bad and contrived as 5

All the positive reviews and opinions feel like they come from desperate fans trying to keep the series alive by praising it game to High Heaven instead of being objective and honest.

When it comes to games, I trust negative reviews and opinions over positive ones. A genuinely good game gets close to zero negative opinions.

Ass Combat fans are truly a shitshow.

The only negative opinions about ac7 is about lack of support for hotas. Everyone else is giving good reviews? Where do you find bad ones?

the series in its entirety are all pretty overrated. It accomplishes what it sets out to do but every game is a combination of way too easy and skeletal in its framework.

I liked the music as a whole more than any of the other games (felt like a more consistent theme that built up as it went on, been a long time since I've played a game that had a main theme that actually built and developed with the game, I'm sure some people whine about it being samey but it's easily among the best in the series), the main story has problems sure, but Triggers motivations are spelled out just enough to make him an interesting protagonist, and the entire series has a pretty poopy story outside of the Aces.

In terms of gameplay there's really nothing to complain about, you know exactly what you're going to get.

Overall, a recommendation.

I can't believe you retards fell for this bait.

>All the positive reviews and opinions feel like they come from desperate fans trying to keep the series alive by praising it game to High Heaven instead of being objective and honest.

Don't reply to bait.

Given the treatment they gave the VR mode, I don't have my hopes up too high. 3 fucking missions. I'd be surprised if it's on par with 5's arcade mode.

If it were finished it would all be in the original game.

JA has better missions than X, and more variety in what you do too.

How is the whole story retarded when it's probably the most simple and straightforward plot in the series?

Attached: 1541887076694.jpg (1252x1252, 69K)

Merely what I gleaned by watching it play out.
Trigger starts out as a rookie, he wasn't even supposed to fly, he probably only has basic training and maybe a sim or 2 of air combat, by the 4th mission he's spearheading an assault on the space elevator, even after being wrongfully accused of murdering the president, he sticks with it and even does underhanded missions ordered by someone everyone detests, and nails them.
Due to the combination of him being the player character and the narrative, he doesn't bitch out when he gets out of the 444 squadron, quite the opposite, he gets his own squadron and shines as their commander and ace. By the end of the game things are so beyond his control and he still does anything he can to fly, and win.

Beyond everything, all the political affiliations, all the behind-the-scenes tinkering from the Osean officials, Trigger just moves forward, mostly unconcerned with everything but the sky, similar to Mihaly, he inherits the sky as his kingdom.

That's how I read Trigger's motivations through the game, there's a novel out that probably ACTUALLY spells it out, but the combination of the music and the narrative gave me the sense that Trigger is above the worldly plane, and that narrative was more than interesting enough to keep me interested with him as a character.

The music also plays into this, but going into that would involve linking multiple songs and their set intentions which is even more open to interpretation.
For what it's worth, the headcanon was great.

uh? this game is probably one of the most casual AC, the enemy is braindead and the only thing that poses a challange are Mihaly, Sol squadron and the two drones at the end, the rest is just a matter of pressing the missile button and moving slowly to the left to avoid enemy missiles

7 was a nice fanwank to all of the PS2 classics, practically every game from the big three gets some call outs in the plot and they even managed to squeeze in IUN there and shit like Keith's dad.

But I want them to go back to the AC3 world since I have mad nostalgia for Namco of that era. Just fucking come on, it was a different era that needs to come back as well:

If you think mission 9 was capable of filtering anyone out, that must mean you thought it was difficult you fucking casual. It was one of the easiest missions in the game. It was just annoying.

4 and 0 are both worse than 5 and 6.

I see. To be honest, one of the things Ace Combat does best is make you get a "feeling" for the protagonist in the way you mentioned, entirely through non-conventional means.

It's hard to explain, but I can provide an example to the "feel" all AC protagonists give by pointing at Takumi from Initial D. He lives in his own world delivering tofu and this normal reality of his sometimes interacts with other people's worlds, and only then you can notice how segregated he is from everything around him through his pure skill.

AC protagonists all seem mostly aloof and they shine when contrasted with what's around them.

Megacorps are better as far as the narrative goes since you can write fucking dicks like Commander Park, terrorist organisations like Ouroboros, and basically have it be more interesting than muh country 1 vs muh country 2 manipulated by Belka.

Not like any of this matters though, the story in AC was never specifically good and 7 kinda doesn't stick the landing here, ironically. 7's plot is just kinda shitty and fumbles a lot of potential.

It's not bad but it's nowhere near as good as 4 through 6 were. Cross Rumble 3D too.

By your logic, if I'm a pleb, and if mission 9 is pleb filter, I wouldn't have made it past mission 9. But like I said, it's one of the easiest mission in the game. It'd probably be THE easiest if the first mission didn't exist. How is it a filter?

Do people really hate 5 that much? I liked it a whole lot and my only complaint was shit falling off the SOLG was a bit cumbersome to dodge sometimes. Zero is basically a straight upgrade though, but you don't get enough missions flying with Pixy for his betrayal to really sting like you want it to.

Attached: 1526803580585.jpg (638x476, 53K)

4-5-0 are generally considered to be the best in the series so no.

Hell user, I'd say literally the opposite, megacorps are worse exactly BECAUSE they are unrelatable and impossible to root for because, by design, a megacorporation's only ideology and goal is profit.
>Commander Park
But one of the main reasons why the UPEO is so laughable and pathetic in AC3 IS because it's essentially the last remaining wisp of nation-state "authority" though. And if you think countries can't have cunts you probably never played ACX, Leasath is run by the biggest bastard in the whole franchise.

That's an emerging recent theme, if anything the most prevalent theme through all the games seems to be "blind loyalty/hatred to an institution is bad".

As a PCfag, I bought it as a way of paying for emulating the holy trinity, X, Assault Horizon+, and 3 and to show support for actually putting a game out on a platform I have for once.

I intentionally place it lower in my own personal tier ranking specifically because it was the first game I played and I know it's got inflated value from that and general nostalgia.

Probably because they never heard of your shit niche games to begin with.

This is it for me. They played it a bit too safe for my liking, plus the story felt like it wasn't terrible cohesive.

>this game is probably one of the most casual AC
Arguably. Like I said, the gameplay style is a sidegrade. Me saying it's more twitchy doesn't mean it's harder. The old games were more about learning patterns and some tricks and thinking ahead, AC7 is more about constantly reacting to everything. It was a bit of a culture shock at first, but once you learn the difference and adjust, it probably is easier to execute "near perfectly" since there's no real improvisation needed, just react to the moment.
I'm sure you could. On my first playthrough on hard I didn't actually do a single hi-G turn until mission 13. Does not mean that the most efficient way to dogfight isn't just one long hi-G turn, or in the case of more advanced enemies constantly reacting to their movements with hi-G turns. What's your point exactly?

Ace Combat's a pretty well known series amongst the pre-skyrim era gaymers, ie boomers

My point? To Trigger brainlet.

Are you sure you can trust that intel?

It's a good game, just not a good Ace Combat game.

This game felt more Ace Combat 4 than most of the other games though, just isn't as good

The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces is supposed to be good, but I haven't played it yet despite loving the movie.
Vector Thrust is objectively crap, but worth a pirate if you want to fly every single F-104 variant ever conceived by man.
Project Wingman is still in development, but looks really good so far.

Unrelated, but I just started listening to Cross Rumble's OST on a whim, and holy shit is it good. Makes me actually wish I had a 3DS.

HAWX 1 was great. I don't know if I'm just saying that because it was the closest thing to Ace Combat on PC in an age before decent PS2 emulation and even before Assault Horizon, but I know I liked it. HAWX 2 is more iffy.

He mentions he decides when you die during 444 when granting you permission to use your weapons.

Does anyone know where I can find the full version used of Liberation of Gracemaria used in this trailer?
youtube.com/watch?v=kAFQocWA-CA

i think invasion of gracemaria is what youre looking for

I know, but the in game version sounds different than from the trailer.

It literally follows the ace combat formula exactly.

Attached: JESTER.jpg (640x720, 156K)

So, did Trigger give Huxian the Fox Two, or is he a pure fightersexual like Mobius One?

Who cares they wont make one for another 10 years anyways

the song itself is called invasion of gracemaria, its a different version of liberation from mission 1
youtube.com/watch?v=7C60fj4TNI4
it sounds the closest and is the only other version but i could be wrong

I played 5 and 6 and both of them were really fucking good. I'm playing 7 now and I'm on mission 12 hard mode. The movement feels a lot different. Maybe its more realistic, I don't know. I'm really not liking some of these missions though. I hate all the escort and protection shit. I liked the way 6 broke things up into opperations. I like having clearly marked targets. The clouds and weather is neat but kind of gimmicky. I feel like I have zillion missiles on me at all times. Its definitely more frustrating. I'm still liking it but so far, I like 5 and 6 more. How many missions does 7 have?

20

Trigger is a bro, he wouldn't cuck Count like that.

Trigger remained alone and never had another relationship after his original waifu Brownie was killed. Except for his relationship with the sky itself, which he cucked away from Mihaly and continues to fly in even today while the old man is forced to lay in bed and watch, a fate worse than death which was inflicted on him as revenge for Trigger's waifu.

If they did make a new ac game after a decade then boomer acfags would still hate it

>which he cucked away from Mihaly
AND scrap queen

Favorite boss?
Mine is Rot from AC4. I also think Aigaion from 5 was neat too because of all those lasers shooting at you and the Ace Squadron Scarface that launches from it afterwards.

Time to stop posting on Yea Forums tonight, the retardation here is bad for health.

A really good point I was too dumb to pick up on that someone in a Yea Forums topic made is:

>Trigger's three strikes = trinity
>Mikhael = St Michael the archangel
>St Michael often associated with killing a dragon
>Ends up flying the Strike Wyvern
>His Kingdom is up in the sky
>He is thrown from that kingdom and denied the chance to live and die among it.

So he becomes a kind of fallen angel. I could get the Mikhael = archangel michael business but the wyvern and kingdom stuff was neat. Not deep, pretty obvious on the face of it, but neat. It's been too long since I played AC4 and 5 but I seem to recall a bit of messiah complex with Mobius 1 too.

>has more attackers and less su variants than 7
bandi you lazy shits

AC7 is a stepping stone for a new console adaption like AC4 and combining it together with AC5 elements. AC8 will be guaranteed as PA's magnum opus by combining AC0 and AC3 elements.

I wish
Ace combat with shmup planes wen

This only happened after PC players got to play it. They always gotta shit in everything.

Holy shit this is possible? Does the rest of the sunken area behave the same way?

I'm not 100% sure. There aren't THAT many targets in the sunken district, so I wouldn't be able to say. I probably should go in the game and check.

Bringing console war into this isn't helping, user. Ace Combat doesn't deserve that kind of shitposting. Been playing PC ever since my PS2 decided to melt, and I've always wanted Ace Combat to get a second wind, arcade games like it are very underrated and I'm glad to see it doing well.

Name one thing that AC7 did better than the holy trinity.

why is the story so retarded? why is the erusean princess not getting assraped for war crimes? why are all your wingmen so unlikeable?

AC7 was my first AC and I enjoyed it immensely. I look forward to playing the PS2 games as well and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

everything

Why instead don't you tell me why it need to wildly surpass them to be even considered good? The holy trinity is fantastic, EVEN if you say that 7 falls short of them a little for one reason or another doesn't that still make it a pretty good game?

I have the premise for this :
>You a part of reformed Belkan Air Force
>4th Air Division 175th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Blau" (Blue)
>Emblem mascot is a Swift bird
>Your T.A.C name is Blitz, the leader of the squadron as Blau One.
>There's only other two members on your squadron and they are both siblings named Jacob Galland and Wilhelm Galland (Based on Grimm brothers and Adolf Galland)
>Due to Communication Blackout after AC7, Osean insurgencies try to invade your homeland
>Your squadron will be sent to the front line for full-scale defense
>You have to juggle between Osean and Belkan conspiracy story along the way, with the former want to create another scapegoat incident to Belka and justify themselves to annihilate your country entirely and seize all of your techs

So did the princess die at the end or what? I was confused with that scene of her jumping off the building and the drone literally blew her up but then you see her looking at the space elevator at the end cutscene.

How great would it be to have the people who ACTUALLY take down Grunder Industries and the Grey Men to be Belka proper?

So this is what people are feeling when they complain about stupid-looking keyblades.

I love this meme

She's fine, Count ate the missile, she literally talks to you shortly after that cutscene during the mission. Shes the one who tells you about the drone

For a brief moment, when she talks to you to reveal the second drone after having seemingly been blown up, and going by how they make a plot point earlier in the game of how the space elevator is a ridiculously powerful energy source because of all the solar collectors attached to it, I was expecting her to have been somehow sublimated.

huxian is better than either the dykelet and the princess though

I hope they turn Trigger into an antagonist in the next game, he has such a ridiculous story that even someone who came in new to the franchise would pretty instantly know how much of a badass he is. Wouldn't even have to name him, could call him Three Strikes, or the president's murderer or something.

b-but it’s mobius 1 ! He wiped out an has-been squadron ! He destroyed a stationary target with almost no defense system !!

>Retcon
Nothing is retconned in AC3 because its still a simulation, anything can happened. The annexation of corporations will not stop Simon ordering Nemo to erase Dision in Electrosphere. Besides, this possible AC8 scenario indirectly gives Fiona, Erich, Cynthia, and Rena a better future for them, free from corporation's shackle like the simulation predicted.

Never played Ace combat games, but this one was fun. As soon as I realized to turn down the difficulty to normal the game became very enjoyable. On hard it was retarded.
