are the ps1 games fun?

M-Mobius 1 pls help

1 is a little rough, but 2 is similar in its design to the modern games, just lacking story cutscenes. 3 is off the rails in its presentation and branching mission paths, and looks the best out of all of this. I'd say absolutely give 2/3 a go, and maybe 1 as well.

2 has some bangin tunes too.

Kinda sucks, but I'll still use it. It's probably my favorite plane and I've been using it mostly in my ace run since just going full wyvern was boring.

Yup, there's definitely a lot more satisfaction when you S-rank a mission with a shitbox.
I cleared Cape Rainy Assault on Ace with the F-104 and GRKT, shit was so cash. Blasting through the canyon with the afterburner on while doing barrel rolls and crazy hektik high G turns, its pretty fun.

Fun and short, you can clear each in a couple hours with no trouble at all.

What direction do I need to be to hit "hook" on Arsenal bird? Every direction misses for me.

I don't remember if the hook is the first or the second stage, but for the first, you have to hit the Arsenal Bird horizontally from behind, and for the second, you need to be coming from below, something like a 45 degree angle would probably do the trick.

Going for a low head on pass also works well for the second stage

Yeah it's the second phase. I'll try the lower angle. The mission is hectic as fuck.

So, 7 has continued the trend of playing the bad guys. sadly, the game is kinda bad too...

user, nobody is really the 'bad guy' in 7 except belka

Nah, the Eureasians were the bad guys manipulated by Belkans. You can see the Princess realizing she fucked up big time near the end when she sees the painting.

This game is shit.

joust it from a low angle, can't miss

Oseans are also the bad guys, that’s the point of the game. The drones/Arsenal birds were manufactured by Osea and hacked by Erusea, as they saw this development as a threat and crippled Osean ports and bases with no casualties. While going on to take over Usea.
Meanwhile Osean AWACS can be heard not giving a shit if planes crash in residential areas cause they struck first, even if it was part of the mission brief not to cause collateral damage.

in reality it was Belkans that engineered the two sides against each other to spread chaos and further the war economy by basically building skynet
it took the satellites and IFFs screwing up for everyone to see how the lighthouse war was two sides being played against each other
basically fuck Belkaand fuck jannies

>Ace 5 sold 1.8 mil
Fuck. I though the series in general hovered in the 600-800k range. Now I see why they bundled it with PS4 preorders.

I'm playing Ace Combat 5 right now. Am I playing the one and only single competent person in all of Osea? Half the missions seem to be friendly troops sit in place until I kill the enemy for them before they die from standing in place.

Dang it, I forgot how cool this thing was when you actually see it in-game. It actually puts Stonehenge to shame.
How is it supposed to be used as a superweapon anyway? Is it just a missible base?

Attached: Megalith - 2.png (1536x1344, 1.19M)

Nuclear ICBMs.

The Ulysses left a lot of shit orbiting the earth, Megalith lasers attract these formations to fall on target areas.

Incidentally - the main purpose of Ark bird is to destroy those leftover rock formations and it pretty much succeeded in the task before the war.

Its the most conventional of the superweapons, yes.

Most likely just a Big-ass Nuclear MIRV launch site.

Can I finally emulate the PS2 Ace Combat games?

It's pretty easy.

You've been able to emulate them for years. Even 4 is getting better and better in hardware mode.

Attached: 1551283617214.jpg (1820x2048, 291K)

Ah, okay. The last time I tried to play them, they were riddled with rendering errors and slowdown, and were effectively unplayable. This was probably over 4 or 5 years ago.

Hey, I'm also playing Ace Combat 5 for the first time right now and on that exact mission too.
The ground forces keep dying after they leave the fortress for me. Think I am prioritizing the wrong targets.

I've never played any of these games. Are all of them worth playing / any to avoid? I don't mind playing old games.

Attached: AceCombat.webm (640x360, 1.49M)

Oh, I passed it, I'm on Mission 24.
Shit gets real soon.

Which plane are you using? I think I did Fortress with a F-117.

Only one that's recommended to avoid is Assault Horizon. Everything else is good. Even Ace Combat 1 and 2 on the PS1 are enjoyable little timewasters.

It's perfectly fine to start with 7, but if you wanna go the comfy path then going 4 --> 5 --> 0 --> 6 (if you have Xbox) --> 7 is nice too.

Some might disagree, but they're wrong.

I think I have been using the F-18.

Assault Horizon is the one to avoid and 1 is skippable. Also, keep in mind that the games aren't particularly long, so playing the entire series isn't as daunting of a challenge as it sounds.

Release order is fine and all, but playing 5 before 7 so some of the references are at the front of mind isn't the worst idea.

Thanks for that. I'll track them down, I just got an xb360 so I'll get that well. Do you know if the ps2 roms work with fmcb/openload ?
I prefer to play on console for that big sound through a speaker system.

>tfw AC7 could be the perfect game if the levels didn't suck

Attached: Belkaball.png (128x128, 5K)

The levels are fine, what isn't fine is the lack of competent allies, the lack of a squad system, the lack of forced deployment missions, the lack of characters worth a damn and the lack of a story that isn't an unnecessarily convoluted mess.

PS2 games emulate juuuust fine with PSCX2.

It's evidently a design decision to have less valuable allies.

Your squadron kills don't count towards your score unlike 5/0, you can't choose their planes/order them around and there are no kill statistics like in 0.

Probably wanted to focus on just getting the game out with 7 and now they can polish those features.

Assault Horizon Legacy on 3DS isn't actually a sequel to Assault Horizon but instead a remake of AC2.

And all of that only serves to make you care even less about them. I understand they may be a bit rusty making these games, and I'm just glad the series is back at this point, but next game they better bring back all the things missing from 5/0.

Exactly, that's the point.
Imagine your allies being competent but not counting towards your killcount, S runs could become borderline impossible/rng on some missions.

Saying that
>Dang these allies are incompetent
Is not addressing the actual issue properly.

The dichotomy comes from the fact that they have character in the chatter, planes, cinematics etc etc. It's just not reflected properly in the gameplay.

Essentially you're playing 4 but with everything else being like 5/0/6.

>Essentially you're playing 4 but with everything else being like 5/0/6.
That's a good way to put it.

They straight up said during development that AC7 was being presented more in the style of AC04. Just be happy you only had two score attack missions.

We are at a turning point in Ace Combat history. The next installments will determine if the game will die or get rebooted again because Namco maneuvered themselves in a position that can't be fixed (the position being futuristic Jets amd shit).

HE WAS PROBABLY AN S.O.B

This is the installment that determined its future. It's on a good path. With MGS gone, it might be the only series left doing this bizarre militaristic/anime/political type of setting.

he was a good guy who killed other good guys

Good for him.

Any porn of the princess?

Play AC5 if you want more interesting scenarios. Out of the holy trinity 5 has the closest mission structure to 7.

Just finished the game. Holy shit the final mission was kinda retarded. Otherwise 9/10 would replay definitely.

Stratos 4 inspired Ace Combat fucking when!

Long Day, Cape Rainy & Farbanti is the best mission.

Once I got the aces for those I never played them again. Now Daredevil and Dark Blue, those are top tier missions.

Will we get to play as Skoll squadron in the DLC? Will they expand the story at all? They definitely should.

Obviously.
We know what Grey Men think about the whole Belkan War, but we don't know the true feelings of the belkan people. It would be kind of ironic if the Belkan itself fights against the remaining Grey Men but cleaning its image in the world of Strangereal they bring down the Era Of Nations givings free space for MegaCorporations to take over.

Redoing the campaign also gives you a pretty big bonus MRP especially in later missions. 2-3 rounds and you can probably complete the entire SP tree.

Did you even read the tweet? There's a separate line about Japan sales that are distinct from Asia sales.

With a shittier soundtrack

Most people probably just look for the lock on and pop off as many as possible hoping for a hit

Also the MP is by far the biggest fuck up so far imo
>Battle Royale mode
>planes like A10 useless because only dogfightning modes
>no co-op mode

Is the 1st time bonus still there if I start the campaign on a different difficulty?

You don't even need to go to a higher difficulty for the bonus.

Assuming you finished the campaign already then yes. It's called a round bonus this time.

Pretty sure they're working on a co-op mode now since literally everyone wants it.

I'm about to finish it on normal so I was just thinking of cruising through it once on easy just for cheevos but that's good to know, thanks.

Finish it on normal. Last mission's bonus is like 765k. Then you can do it on easy to get it again.

Note that aces won't spawn on easy even if you fulfilled the requirements.

>no co-op mode

There's also gun only bonus and no damage bonus. If you're doing easy run might as well do one of them too.

Aces are those special colored ones that give you skins when you down them? I thought those were free mission only?

I could but I suck at gun, I try to use it effectively but I can't keep a steady hand with analogs for shit. Could try the laser sub weapons along with it but I guess they don't count as guns right?

The devs say getting AI for PvE into the current multiplayer is hard for some reason.

They show up in a new campaign run too provided you play it on normal and above. They don't show up for the first campaign run though.

Lasers don't. The MG pods on the MiG-21 do.

It's gonna be like in AC infinity where you and the other team compete for points by blowing shit up. Also add in random mission updates like a squdron of QAAM spamming faggots to wreck your shit in the middle of the mission.

I think the insignia's seen in Ace Combat are cooler than the irl ones.

I really wish they would bring back those Special Raid Missions as well, along with Fleet Destruction. Even though Infinity was pay to win and killed off prematurely, it was still pretty fun.

0 it is! I have high expectations after AC5.

I played 4 and I loved it as well. It was a shorter, tighter experience. I don't know which one I prefer yet.

>Anything I should know before starting?
You unlock the Su-37 really early on, but unless you're really bad at these games I'd recommend not using it since it makes the rest of the game a cakewalk.

Teammates dying mean a lower score so shittier grades I think.

Nah just dive into it.

It's a good thing you played 4 first. I played 0 before 4 and it felt underwhelming as fuck. There's no way anything can top it off for me anymore. Get some tissues ready, because you're going to have multiple orgasms at the end.
