7 missions in to this, when does it get good?
I loved AC4 but this just hasn't grabbed me at all. The plane handling feels less satisfying somehow, the wingmen are annoying and distracting, and the missions are so scripted that I barely feel like I make a difference.

It gets better.
DDay. I agree with the plane handling though, it feels like planes always travel where the nose points as opposed to where your momentum was going prior to pulling up
>the missions are so scripted that I barely feel like I make a difference
Literally every AC since 5 not including Zero.
Ironically, november city.
>super advanced radar and AWACS can tell you where enemies are, where allies are, can show you missiles in-flight
>except this one mission "dude the SAM sites are camouflaged lol"
>"I can't tell you where they are despite the fact that they're shooting missiles with huge smoke trails from 3x the distance they usually do and they're immobile"
Fuck this entire game for turning up the stupid bullshit to 11.
>just dodge the thunderstorms dude
>btw the entire map is one giant storm cloud
>just hide in the clouds dude
>btw all the targets are on mountaintops
>hey you have flares now, cool right?
>they don't work on instakill death SAM though lmao bitch u thought
They were shoulder mounted SAMs
Even 7? I was really looking forward to playing that once I finished the PS2 ACs
Don't worry, there are missions where you have to get a certain amount of points to win. You will feel right at home there.
cruising altitude for your average transport plane is 3x higher than what a Stinger can reach
>Zero
>not scripted as fuck too
>b-but you can spare enemies!
>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?
0 is still excellent
In gameplay and music, yes. Not the rest
That AC4 is the worst.
>ranking AC games
let me guess, zero is your favorite?
Not him, but
7>X>=5=0
>04 the worst
>When AH and JA exist
"The rest" means just the story. And the story's only real problem is that it's too rushed to feel the full impact. That's a lot less of a flaw than AC5, AC6 or AC7. Or even ACX.
As someone who likes Zero the best (haven't played 7 yet), I will admit that the story and how it was presented looked a lot better in the pre-release trailers than in the game itself.
I played the trilogy before AC7 launched and somehow Zero just felt as I was playing AC4 all over again because how similar the missions are. Still had a blast tho.
I felt AC4 had way more point scoring missions. Dying once and having to replay the whole 15 minute mission is tedious. Having to spend 15 minutes in single mission anyway is tedious. The only time I felt that in AC0 was Glatisant.
That's an absolutely fair call. I'd argue Zero stands out relative to 04 with the ace squadron battles and the duel with Pixy, but 04 gives you multiple engagements with the Yellows where you get progressively better each time.
>Glatisant
And with that mission, they were merciful enough to end the mission the instant you hit the score requirement, and rank you on clear time instead of the extent to which you exceeded the requirement.
>power ranking faggots
please die
Why was the story in AC7 so bad? I thought they'd have learned after AC6.
why yes. how did you know?
Sounds like a Zimmer soundtrack.
Did anyone else cry a little when they had to shoot down the Arkbird?
>not Zero
Opinion discarded
At that point, i had no tears left to shed. they were lying among the wreckage in that stadium
>only one tunnel section
7 manages to be mediocre in every aspect compared to the rest of the games in the series. Its still a good game overall, but anybody who thinks it's better than the trinity is just lying to themselves.
Go back to your patrols Nagase.
Go dance with the angels.
How to do the fortress mission? The stupid ground forces just keep sitting in place and dying.
I hope you are using AtG special weapons.
M18 in 5? There are particular enemies that block their advance, you take those out to get the tanks moving. Unfortunately, the game doesn't tell you WHICH ones are the ones, and I recall that you need to time when you kill certain bunkers so that they don't respawn at a bad time (but I may be thinking of Lit Fuse earlier on).
Also, bring something with good speed and mobility for this mission. You'll thank me later.
>one of the three games of the holy trinity is bad
Never. The only people who like it are apes who selectively forget the 20 utter garbage missions in favor of the 7 good ones
AC4 is shit
« Wooohooo! My blood's boilin'! »
>ASS=GRASS
What are some recurring things that every Ace Combat has? stuff like
>tunnel mission
>a Kei Nagase
>mission that tricks you into playing an attacker then drops an enemy ace squadron on you
« Toss that chump in solitary once he gets back! »
Low altitude canyon run
>I don't think that would work outside of easy mode.
But that's how I've S ranked most missions on Ace save the bullshit ones.
Kei wasn't in 6.
I started enjoying it the moment the F14 got the razgriz skin.
« Don't pretend like you deserve any better! Now buy the next game! »
Redpill me on the series lads. Do the PS2 entries emulate okay? Hardware isn't an issue with an overclocked 8700k/1080Ti
AC4 is meh but 5 and 0 are fine. Check out the /vg/ thread they have an emulation guide.
Which multiplayer stage has the best overall soundtracks?
AC4 is GOAT, the rest are meh
The PS2 ones emulate great
AC7 had a very troubled development and it's a miracle it even came out at all.

why does nobody play the best ac, ac3?
the ocean one with Comona and Aim High.
aim high is a pretty great track though
yeah ac5

Soul Squadron is the better track for me. Daredevil just doesn't do it for me somehow
>04 gives you multiple engagements with the Yellows where you get progressively better each time.
The yellows have like 5x better manuvering and and invincible before you get to fight them for real and they just really waste your time and if you damage one of them they all retreat
