Also, good god, the dialogue is cringy. It went past the campy side of things straight into the cringy anime dialogue. They even have the stereotypical autist with glasses as a character; I never understood why the Japs think this stereotype is cool in any way.
Where are you in the game? The best moments in the game are all in later missions.
Tyler Johnson
Just ended Mission 4
I have the controls set on manual swerving and I'm using a controller. I just don't find it fun at all though. Last AC game I've played was AC2 back in the PS1 era
Zero is good. Mechanically it's essentially a mission pack sequel to 5, a little shorter but more replayable with the ace system. Overall, it tends to be a coin-toss between 5 and 0 for most people out of the PS2 trilogy.
unfortunetly i dont own a xbox360 but i downloaded the psp ones
i also pirated 7 just to see if i could run on my toaster ready for disapointment but dear god it runs better than the ps2 emulator.
Zachary Gonzalez
I bought a 1:144 F-14 from Revell and I think I'm gonna try and paint it to look like the players skin with the three strikes on the tail
Isaac Gomez
Is it just me, or are there way too many enemies coming at you at once in this game?
Henry Smith
wait thats the little girl from the end of 5?
Tyler Reyes
They did Ace Combat ASSAULT HORIZON for pleb like you. Go play that shit
Ethan Wilson
At times, but it's not as bad as 6's campaign of 8 straight hours of missile warning tones.
Adam Allen
>going the suckoi route Enjoy not having fun
Caleb Cox
It's not even the same country. Out of the LRSSG themes it's got to be youtube.com/watch?v=Nx9YJAcBOi0 For the Freespace 2 vibes.
Isaiah Cook
all those who debase komi-tan deserve death
Nathan Hall
It is unfortunate, but I have to agree. The missions just aren't as enjoyable as previous entries, and the story feels simultaneously overbearing and lacking.
The gameplay itself is fine. Though, as is usual with such graphics jumps, the roster is shit.
Camden Moore
What jets did you want?
Brody Cook
What's wrong with Sukhoi? To my understanding, they tend to be among the most maneuverable, especially the Flanker variants and Berkut.
Yeah the story was handled pretty badly. No idea how scrap queen was even relevant, especially when she was set up to be really important to the story at the start and in the trailers. And we're kind of meant to figure out why the princess fucked up or care about the president dying when there isn't much reason to do so. Trigger's fall to a penal squadron, bandog killing off someone all of a sudden, were all promising storylines but it kinda fizzled. Mister X and his remaining squadron falling in battle was alright but coulda been better.
The games saving grace was the absolute fucking KINO in some of the missions when the gameplay just matched perfectly with the music, scenery and radio commentary.
Aaron Perry
US jets generally have better weapon loads, and in my experience I find the f-15 to be superior
Cameron Campbell
The thing i would usually do is mock you for being bad at the game, but instead i'm just going to remind everyone that OP is just desperate for attention and thinks bashing a historically popular franchise on Yea Forums is the way to make up for his mother abandoning him in front of a console to go get railed by niggers. Any attention is good attention, right? You internet poisoned teenager.
Grayson Adams
Don’t bother with slav shit besides the mig31, f15 is great, yf23 is patrician but the f22 has a better load out. F35 is great for ground/air target missions
Michael Phillips
Why are the unnamed Spare Squadron members so good? >Bandog: > > >
Champ: "Woohoooo! My blood's boilin'!" Control Tower: "Toss the chump in solitary once he gets back! Spare 8, when you land your ass is grass!"
Nicholas Thomas
The best dialogue is when Trigger flies through the tunnel in misson 6
>Bandog: >Spare:
Asher Smith
Su-57 is actually the best plane in the game for single player. Pulse laser is really fucking broken.
Henry Wilson
>. >.
Robert Bailey
True but it’s also at the very end of a long line of shit while all US planes besides maybe the f18 are good. Even then the f18 with railgun is great for ground assault
David Phillips
F-15C for PLSL. Actually faster than the Su-57, and good high speed mobility. Plus it leads to the based F-15E, YF-23, and F-22A. Flankers are unusually average in 7.
Levi Nguyen
I loved the Spare Squadron's banter. It felt like they took chunks of Chopper's personality and spread it around a bunch of delinquents.
Easton Torres
Having a squadron of four Berkuts during the intro to Aces is true kino.
Russia is actually better at most points. Fulcrum is better than Tomcat. Flanker D is better than Super Hornet. Eagle and Strike Eagle are better than Flanker F2/Fullback/Flanker F, but Firkin/Flanker E/Su-30SM are better than Lightning II, and Su-57 is better than Raptor. The only time US planes are better is when you're in the middle using the Eagles, and they're optional anyway. If you take the middle branch with the Lightning II you won't get them.
Not really. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it's possibly the worst Ace Combat game, barring Advance.
Kayden Flores
is not as bad as people say what kills that game are the forced helicopter stages
WHO THE FUCK PLAYS ACE COMBAT TO FLY A SLOW AND BORING HELICOPTER?
Aaron Moore
While it's still, compared to most action games, a decent 7/10, it's not worth playing if you can get your hands on literally any other Ace Combat besides Advance
Angel Morales
I prefer Su-30M2 or Firkin for MP. Raptor has better stats but the lower slots are annoying. Lots of people seem to like Raptor so maybe that's just me though. I don't really play MP much anyway.
Jackson Butler
not one of your complaints was about the gameplay, I'm gonna assume you haven't played the game?
Kevin Davis
nah its the second best after 5 as far as im concerned
AC7 is my first game and I'm stuck on mission 6, how is this shit possible? I'm considering downloading a trainer just to beat this mission. I like dogfighting not this time limit bombing shit.
Brody Harris
Qaams and 8aam are op as fuck in multiplayer with the multiplayer sp missile upgrades
Tyler Jones
Stop posting this fake map
Nathaniel Lopez
>Using the fan made map
SOLITARY!!
Adrian Lee
>can’t pick wingmen’s planes in 7 I just want Mage and Strider to all fly whatever I fly dammit
Andrew Nelson
You are literally a faggot
Michael White
Get something with unguided bombs, start with the air field with the bombers taking off, then cycle around between the other two, then when the drones appear grab aa missiles from the resupply station and focus on them
Nathan Martin
Use A10
Caleb Myers
>Long Day Yeah, that's the first real roadblock most people go through with this game. Use a ground-attack specializing plane like the A-10.
Jaxson Rivera
I thought it didn't end up being Bandog in the end though. I thought it was that Belkan magic-science messing with the IFF systems
Thomas Reed
Russian planes get QAAMs too. 8AAM aren't OP, they're terrible. Bad homing means you'll never hit anyone who even thinks about dodging.
Juan Hughes
You are a massive faggot
Caleb Collins
Sky Crawlers gameplay but with Kotobuki when? Reminder both of them are owned by Bamco
Apparently it's in the localization that's the difference. Bandog is less of an ass and genuinely seems to make it out as an accident. Which I like a whole lot less than Bandog doing what he needed to do to stop Full Band from blowing Stonehenge, and the chance at Osea winning the war with it.
That's what I thought when it happened, but when they throw out the fact that Erusians were actively fucking with IFF systems it brings that into question.
Lincoln Rodriguez
Any planebros here that can recommend me a good game?
I've only ever enjoyed Heroes of the Pacific and War Thunder, but I'd like to try something new. Preferably one with a playable SR-71?
>inb4 "black ops lmao xD"
Isaac Scott
>dude I saw so much intel today >stop it m8 >man you wouldn't BELIEVE what I saw, I'll tell you when we get back >...
Joseph Peterson
What? I've been playing AC since 4 and I found 7 to be one of the more challenging ones, actually.
Hudson Sanders
Ace Combat 3 has an SR-71
Matthew Cruz
>person with reasonably functioning brain >this game wasn't for me, oh well
>zoomer tourist brain >literally everything about this game is fucking terrible, -3/10 not smash ultimate >
Isaac Watson
Reminder that this guy watch over the intern Yoko Martha and Simon Cohen from AC3
Christian Robinson
Hawx the 2nd one is shit tho
Wyatt Jackson
Erusea don't fuck with IFF. They impersonate friendlies, that's it. They can't make friendlies appear as enemies, only Bandog can do that. Fucking Bandog.
Wyatt Butler
I guess its because I started with 5 a million years ago but I really think 7 is the easiest in the series.
The launching bombers on the ground in the airbase are the key points.
David Campbell
Not him, but AC7 is definitely one of the easiest. Ace difficulty in the old games was rage-inducing.
Jaxson Rivera
It's a 99th rehash of a trashy console movie for anime retards. What did you expect? It's one of the most overrated franchises due to all of the degenerate anime children on Yea Forums.
Cameron Jenkins
Maybe it's the Checkpoints. AC7 fucked my ass, no lube more times than any of the trinity did, but the checkpoints probably made it seem like it wasn't as bad.
Jonathan Walker
KB+M, controller, or joystick ?
Jordan Ward
Belka's gotta reclaim the clay eventually.
Matthew Reyes
Game was meant to be played on a pad, but I heard the other control methods are just fine.
Most slav planes don’t, and 8aam with upgrades into the middle of the retards doing loops garuntees kills
John Taylor
KB+M works fine, but you should bind the keyboard for persistent aircraft movement and mouse for fine adjustments movements.
I use wasd for pitching and rolling, Shift for afterburner, space for brake, and Alt for high-G. Q and E for yaw, middile mouse for padlock view/camera lock
Andrew Taylor
maybe because i was inexperienced, but i vividly remember restarting several missions in 04 because i didn't reach the wanted score in the time limit never had this issue in 7, the only two missions i restarted are the one you have to stay beneath the clouds and the other where you have to maneuver through a valley of searchlights, thats it, everything else was a breeze
Evan Lee
True but it was like 3.60 bong so it it goes wrong I'm not out of pocket.
This comes out in June though and it's Mihalys plane and that is definitely getting a Sol-1 paintjob.
Henry Kelly
>On mission 11 >most of the missions so far have just been hide and seek games because there's always some bullshit that fucks with your lock-on capabilities Does this get any better or am I damned to do sandstorm bombing runs for the rest of this shitty game
Kayden Peterson
And you are bigger faggot
Eli Russell
7 is far easier. In the old games if you get hit by a missile on ace you die instantly, the end. In 7 they only do like 30% damage, and you have a part that gives you regen on top of that. And you have flares so it's even easier. Yeah, and most US planes don't have QAAMs either. I don't see how that matters. The Su-30SM and Su-47 do get QAAMs so it's all good.
the ground convoys don't move very fast, so once you get a peek at them from the radar (be sure to use the long range radar toggle), you can just pretty much make a straight beeline for them.
Charles Miller
I didn't have trouble with that mission, it was just incredibly boring and gay.
Joseph Jackson
>tfw AC5 mission briefing will never be surpassed god fucking damnit
Yeah, I know Raptor has better stats. I said that ages ago. I still prefer the Russian planes since they're slightly lower cost so they can fit more parts meaning they have better QAAMs.
Cooper Sanchez
I don't get the appeal of this game. Planes fly better in fucking GTA V. What's the point?
Charles Hernandez
All you need on qaams is enhanced guidance and capacity
Robert Brooks
>7 is far easier. In the old games if you get hit by a missile on ace you die instantly, the end. In 7 they only do like 30% damage, and you have a part that gives you regen on top of that. And you have flares so it's even easier. Sure you don't get instantly killed in AC7, but in the older games it was much easier to avoid being hit.
Jack Green
Don't lie on the internet and expect to get away with it.
why do people jerk each other off about the ost so much
Ryan Diaz
Because it's GOAT, I can't even rank the themes, they're all good
Hudson Clark
>still here Buttmad
Jonathan Adams
The nauseating "cinematic" sequences don't help, either.
Angel Gonzalez
But at least you had to bother. Half the time in 7 I don't even bother dodging since I know I can just regen it anyway. I guess I am playing in easymode by using the regen part though.
Aaron Watson
Try playing in anything else other than normal, even with the regen part, you'll get raped
James Fisher
>wasting slots on your plane for regen Holy shit, how can you be such a little bitch?
Luis Nguyen
Do any other games in the series offer a control scheme similar to AHL where left and right bank instead of roll?
Henry Williams
>novice controls Just learn to roll user
Colton Wood
I only play on ace and I really don't. Regen makes you basically invincible as long as you have a minute to heal between missile hits. It's not hard to avoid getting hit that frequently. I prefer to think of myself as lazy rather than a bitch. But really, it's not like it matters. I already have all the parts I need in the other 7 slots. If this was ACI I'd skip it and go for maximum performance, but it's not. I had enough of trying hard in that game. AC7 is just casual flight time.
Hudson Morales
Anally ravaged
Parker Bailey
Is it worth investing in a joystick ? I heard it completely change the experience but I'm not keen on wasting 80 bucks
Levi Wright
>Is it worth investing in a joystick yes, but not for this game alone. Have others lined up.
William Stewart
No. Especially since Namco are greedy fucks and deliberately broke compatibility with anything other than the specific AC7 branded sticks.
I hear 7 isn't too enjoyable with it. Pad is preferred.
Isaiah Butler
Any way to remap the flares on pc? I hate how they mapped them to both sticks instead of just using the d-pad.
Julian Bell
use your special anti air on the planes that are taking off on the ground. then towards the end theres a ton of planes at the 3rd base that will give more than enough points
Jaxon Hill
but all the games had that just hold triangle when you are behind a enemy
I can't tell if these are falseflagging ACbros making these threads because there's almost no other way to make AC threads without it being archived early
