>Zero
>not scripted as fuck too
>b-but you can spare enemies!
7 missions in to this, when does it get good?
>shoot down all the enemies way ahead of the in-game dialogue because I've got XLAAs
>have to listen to Chopper cry about how enemies are tailing him and shooting him for another couple minutes
>have to listen to Nagase tell him "don't crash land on that river over there, smash yourself into the middle of a stadium"
>more tears and crying
>like 5 minutes of fucking cutscene while I fly in a fucking circle
there is NOTHING even close to this bad in Zero, the worst is the mission where the nukes go off and you get enemies to fight for that
Are you talking about 5 or 7? I though you meant 5 but the transport mission in 7 is a bit ridiculous
>have to listen to Nagase tell him "don't crash land on that river over there, smash yourself into the middle of a stadium"
wtf was nagase's problem?
It's not good, just skip it and play 0.
>I loved AC4
Ace Combat games are fairly short anyway, just endure it so you can appreciate Ace Combat Zero more with the additional context.
This. All the gimmick missions in 5 are cheese once you know the trick to them. Except maybe the tunnel in Aces, and even then it's okay if you're told about that motherfucking crane in advance.
ITT: OLD GOOD NEW BAD
AC7 has long surpassed the holy trilogy, get with the times. If you guys have to nostalgia wank an older entry, at least wank the best entry that is X
I loved them all, your point?
