Ladies and gentlemen, it's kino

Should I play this or Ace Combat 0

Zero because it's actually a good game.

qaams ruined ace combat
4 & 5 were better.

QAAMs were great in 4 though

If you must choose 0, but 7 is good too

cring

Both, but probably 0. It's the most newbie friendly. Even if I prefer 7.

Play 4/5/0/7, they're all worth it.

playing this got me in the mood to read tons of shit about current US military and near peer capabilities and now I want a contemporary strategy game
are there any?

do they intentionally make the random chatter total nonsense like this in AC? is it like that in japanese too?

but user, the next game is going to be a remake of 3
i want to hear transparent blue re done on modern software so fucking bad youtube.com/watch?v=f_UiIO3oAos&list=FLtCaMtxdgBrrre0s3sbyAeQ&index=3&t=0s

worst one desu

why do you think they want to remake it?
maybe the US version wont be fucked this time round.

I assume so, it's probably the same in japanese.

IDK of any true contemporary-set strategy games but World in Conflict is set during the late 1980's and has the Cold War go hot.

alright guys I got an idea

steampunk ace combat

Literally no.

but imagine all your wingmen and enemy aces are smug british people and steampunk belka builds a giant zeppelin aircraft carrier thing

I want Weeaboo Anime Combat 8, not soiboi fighter.

Bamco would want international distribution, I think. Macross lends itself to tie-in concerts as easily as breathing.
Delta's plot was a heaping pile of Windniggers but Walkure have been immensely successful with their IRL concerts, and we know how much Bamco loves IM@S.

The pizza gag was a running joke between Count and the ground forces throughout the mission because everyone assumed the casualty count on the ground would be high.

444 was the comfiest mission, closest thing to what I thought the actual game would be

Even though the people of this world engage in war so often, they're usually referred to as "pointless wars". They are often the result of desperate, shortsighted governments, and pretty much every war ends with the antebellum status quo.

And a lot of the wars started in the AC universe are due to the aftermath of a nearly apocalyptic asteroid strike that fucked up one half of the planet, and the resultant refugee crisis and economic collapses that followed.

Yo, buddy...please put Ace Combat in the OP post next time, I almost missed the thread

Just finished Ace Combat 0 for the first time in Knight, enjoyed it a lot. The aces really push your shit from the get go and Pixy is a great wingman. S ranks were a bit easy to earn though, A was the lowest I got. I love how the fight with Pixy is like knights jousting in the air, it plays into the Arthurian mythos of the game.

X-02 isn't hiding in the Admiral Anderson.

Oh yeah, in reference to tech, the series loves to reuse a kind of "ploughshares to swords" theme. Very often, advanced war machines were initially built with humanitarian intentions for a good cause, with international cooperation. Then its subverted to gain a tactical advantage in wartime. e.g. the Space Elevator.
The planes themselves aren't ever scrutinized though. The games tend to portray planes as extensions of their pilots. Pilots are explicitly unreplaceable compared to their planes in this universe, which is a conceit of the fiction.

Finally started playing it even though I bought it at release. Always thought the war plot was super cheesy, but I'm beginning to dig it. Not a fan of the long cutscenes, or cutscenes in general. Especially in the middle of a mission.

Comfiest mission
>tunnel flying section that is actually harder than the actual tunnel in the last mission
>reasonable amount of ground enemies
>no bullshit score requirement
>pretty easy to S rank

Who is she dressed as?

Finished it yesterday. The story was pants on head retarded to the point that I didn't even feel hyped during the final missions because I didn't care about the war or any of the characters.

What? My HOTAS works fine.

Pilots have never been simply replaceable. They have slightly lost their relevance but you still want to keep your pilots alive more than keeping the machine intact.

The way the music builds up to the end of the tunnel run was absolute kino, as was bombing the absolute shit out of the unsuspecting Eursian pigdogs before they could take off.

Everyone should be kept alive, but damn planes are expensive too.
In AC7, they had convicts fly planes as if they were just unloaded rifles.

>Ladies and gentlemen, it's kino.
Yeah, watched it on youtube.

Strangereal probably has the same super cheap automated plane factories they mentioned in Ace Combat Infinity, so planes are much cheaper (apart from development) than in our world.

Belkans getting dabbed on

Automated drone plants were a major plot point.
I'm not sure how that shit's supposed to work.

Music didn't have as many amazing tracks as Zero, but it had some god tier ones like Lost Kingdom and Long Day.

Is multiplayer still alive?
I want to get back into it but something else has been distracting me lately.

Attached: bomcat.jpg (1920x1080, 399K)

whoever has access to the drone factories probably just need to provide steel blanks and whatever else you need to build an aircraft

artbook says that the X-02S is built using 3D metal printing too

444 was the best arc too, real sad they just dropped it. Being treated like deadly, flying shit was kino

The only way this series can move forward is after ace combat 3 and in space

That's why I fucking hated 6. Also, qaams in 5 don't work for shit, I honestly think they were actually worse than the base missiles.

>How hard is it to unlock the Skin 2 for the Wyvern?

>steel tomcat folded over a mirrion times

I still can't believe you don't see Bandog or the shitty commander again. What was even the point?

Guys. It made me so indescribably happy when that drone flew into a tunnel and I had to follow it.
The game had kino moment every second mission or so. But that was truly top kino.

Attached: EMBRACE IT.png (995x1348, 1.1M)

There was one mission after the IFF got fucked talking about an Osean commander found locked in his room crying in Farbanti, so I'm assuming that was McKinsey. But Bandog just vanishing really upset me. I was expecting to run into him on Tyler Island or something but nope. Entire shit just dropped.

Is this your first Ace Combat? An arcade flight game without tunnel runs isn't AC.

The magic of Electrosphere's soundtrack
is that it will be simultaneously timeless and of the period.
Out of all the soundtracks in the franchise, Electroscope's requires the least touching because it was never trying to be anything more than what it already was. The other OSTs need to be fully orchestrated and better mixed, but 3's OST was already in the care of someone who was very, very competent at all levels of production.

There's something to be said for putting context to the tone of the music. Siren's Song is great.
