Thread 719980005

yea ac7 is pretty good but like
not outstanding
too many stages that i honestly just hate when i replay them lmao

>>719981142
Find those trucks during the sandstorm
>also UAVs because UAVs okay

>>719981790
the sandstorm mission is the biggest offender and i would like to thank team aces for putting it relatively early so i just quit a replay there when i remember the mission exists
the UAVs are mostly inoffensive from what i recall

>>719981940
nta but the UAV's are just another annoyance on top of the sandstorm covering the fucking trucks. I don't even mind the time limit but some missions are just a pain in the ass to replay with all the gimmicks that are simply there to fuck you in the ass.

>>719983475
and they nerfed the machine gun, strafing is utterly useless

>>719984178
yeah the machine gun suck ass without upgrades, and the fact that there is no physics for bullet drop to properly lead targets is a missed opportunity, hopefully they fix this in AC8

>>719980005 (OP)
The game has 2 ground attack planes, but none of the missions are specifically just for that sort of plane. Even the mission you'd think would be you supporting the filthy soil vermin will still have some dog fighting in it, so the A-10 and the other one are kind of crap. There are multi-roles that can do those missions better and not be gimped in the dogfighting department.

Just finished this.
>That mission with the boats and floating rig
Kino.
Ending with the chase in the tunnels was pretty fun too.

Fuck farming a trillion dollars to unlock everything though, also there's literally 5 guys playing it online at best

>>719980005 (OP)
it got a massive buff because it had been literally a decade since the last combat, but the game itself is pretty fucking shit
>disjointed plot due to scrapping and restarting development 1 year prior to release
>pretty terrible missions
>drones just aren't fun to fight
>one of the worst tunnel runs in the series
>forgettable squad

>>719980005 (OP)
>game tells me a missile is locked on
>shoot missile
>miss
Nah

>tfw I like the sandstorm mission
Weather effects are cool, the storm pulls on your plane, it's like the only mission in the game where the time limit actually feels relevant, making it pretty tense
And it plays this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvJ1hMGTyTI
>mfw 3.30
I really do not understand all the hate this mission gets

>>719984606
>disjointed plot due to scrapping and restarting development 1 year prior to release
Its Ace Combat....how did they even managed to do that ? And by the E3 2017 demo the plot was almost the same.

I call it BS from devs who simply cant own up for their mistakes

>>719984625
Do you bitch about Project Wingman having the same missile lock system where enemies can dodge your missiles just by flying faster?

It's a 5 for honestly compared to project wingman, but it's better than Zero and AC5. The series is mid all around and it only does good because there's not many like it in it's area. I'm not even sure if you could call War Thunder an arcade flight game.

>>719980005 (OP)
Sooo what's the best PSVR2 compatible campaign mod for AC7?

Project Wingman crashed a few times mid mission and I'm sick to death of it now.

>>719984625
Missiles being AIM-4 Falcon tier shit as the default is a baseline requirement for an arcadey plane game, you can't have ace combat with competent missiles.

>>719985000
the plot in the trailer is loose enough that it doesn't really show anything
>prisoners
>princess
>space elevator
>scientist
i can see them taking the cutscenes, shuffling them around and then making new shit in between to give the incoherent mess that became the final AC7
they were under pressure to make AC7 work because the fate of the series literally rests on its success, and that probably made them too twitchy

>>719984625
The fact that your missiles lock-on around 1 mile didn't clue you in how shit they were?

>>719984705
They hate it cause everyone's first time with the mission was with an AC130.

vulcans are the thinking man's weapon

i felt like the story just went through multiple re-writes

>let's play it safe and make it about a rookie pilot becoming a legendary ace

>>719985712
I got filtered by 3 because you can't pitch and roll at the same time for whatever reason.

>>719985762
Honestly, I would've liked a whole game of Spare Squadron. Just doing the shit jobs to clear the way for regular pilots, eventually making a name for yourself because of how good you are at the job.
>>no osea can never shown in a bad light, make them the good guys again
5 already showed how incompetent and subvertable the Osean military leadership is, they might as well have a black ops prisoner squadron do their dirty work

Project Wingman is written by a pseudo-intelluectual leftist who obsesses over and chases trans "women", and that automatically makes Ace Combat 7 the superior game.

Literally finished it this week for no reason at all. I really liked the campaign up until the very last moment where suddenly UFO tier drones are in play and you have an arcadey boss fight against them inside a tower.... As a F22 stealth fighter...

I played the entire game in cockpit view. Weirdly enough the target bombing levels were the highlight for me, dogfights were cool but the drone dogfights felt a bit useless to me. I liked the "rival" 1-on-1 dogfights a lot even though it's ridiculously scripted to the point of 6 rockets not destroying his jet.

Also this is the first ace combat I played and the story was straight up trash. I was led to believe the story was great. The mission briefings were good but the weird cinematics with the rebel lady and anime-ized white princess lady were ridiculously bad and I wish I had skipped them in retrospect.

I will absolutely play Ace Combat 8 and I consider the game to be a 9/10. I might even play earlier entries.

>>719986184
Forget that guy, post more Nick and Lever

>>719986387
you aight, anon

>>719986287
>I might even play earlier entries.
You should absolutely emulate the PS2 games, they're all good in their own right. 5 is the only game that has the same level of cheese in the main story, 4 is pretty grounded and Zero has compelling rivals.

>>719986195
lmao no wonder i felt something was off about PW's story. him being a troon chaser just makes it all make sense

All I care is the princess and Milhaly girls getting dicked by BWC, hope they did

>>719986672
>t. Schroeder

>>719984472
>also there's literally 5 hackers playing it online at best

>>719986287
AC8 might be worse

the music is 10/10

>>719986195
>chases trans "women"
he's from SEA so that's to be expected, I also don't really care

>>719988575
can't really go wrong with Kobayashi, I'd love to attend a concert

California gets nuked in PW, so it's a redpilled game.
Ace Combat 7's message is "borders = bad"

Penal Unit should've been a bigger part of the game, UAVs suck shit to fight and the DLC was the best part of the game.

>>719986502
What do you mean by cheese in 5? I just recently started it after playing 4 and it actually feels harder desu. Am I missing something?

>>719989419
Cheesy storytelling, not the gameplay.
4 is the easiest game in the series imo

>>719989065
AC7 message is more like "letting AI drones control factories that produce even more AI drones is not a very good idea"
