glad to see they added niggers

I'm fine with the black guy in your squadron, but not the Captain of the Carrier. The funny thing is that a black Captain would be fine, but a black woman? And with that "tough girl" voicework? No way fag. I'm not a kneejerk reaction kind of person to real life political crap shoved into games, but that was 100% forced by Bandai Namco to meet "western diversity expectations" probably 3+ years ago when that kind of thing was still a major plague. The game seems like it will be decently long, and hearing her all the time is going to be the aggravating point of dialogue in the game.

Interesting. I guess he wasn't supposed to show those missions yet? Even though all of the people who played the game are allowed to use all of the footage they want from those 3 missions? I guess they just weren't supposed to show the entire mission played through normally and there was a misunderstanding? Weird.

>I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Bamco took some cues from PW.
Considering Ace Combat is the direct inspiration for Project Wingman, I think it's fair for them to trade back and forth. I should play the PW DLC missions soon.

>>61103
Its a good DLC and I find the WSO to be bearable unlike Prez, but story wise its almost identical to the Crisp White Sheets trilogy

>go to xcancel (because I don't have an account) to see what other people have noticed about AC8
>culture war faggots and cumbrain subhumans have invaded
At least I know these parasites will die off a week or two before GTA6 drops at the very latest. Thank goodness flying gameplay sheds retards better than a duck sheds water. Many will leave to overly dramatize the slop that Xbox will drop in a couple days, and even more will fall off when Nintenyearold shows whatever they have later this month. It's retarded because these two groups CONSTANTLY cry about the state of video games and how nothing is simple or innocent anymore, yet they continue to be the main cause of problems. They should all be killed.

ac7 is on sale btw

>>61254
I want it on PC, but it's hard to justify paying anything when I have it and the DLC missions on console.
I might pirate it. I was stupid and preordered the deluxe version of AC8 on Steam 2 days ago, so all things considered I feel morally justified.

nuclear option is a gem (evendoe i'm terrible at it) and flying jets is much more fun when you don't have diversity hires constantly yelling in your ear

I beat it a few minutes ago. It was pretty good. The final battle has some balance issues, THOUGH. The Airship Faust is in is way too maneuverable and fast, this is totally unessicary because there are plenty of fighter escorts to handle the dogfighting role and keep you on your toes, and it just looks wrong to see something that big move like that. Some of the targets on the front of it feel like they can take 1 too many missiles. I've also always hated how rail gun trails can hurt you in PW, just use lasers if you're going to do that sort of thing. The really big flak canons fire too frequently as well, making the fight a bit too spamish and overly punishing for less maneuverable aircraft. Overall, it feels a bit untested.

>>61204
they don't care about gameplay though, they'd rather just whack off and/or complain about the characters and story and whatnot. at best they'll forget about the game in a year or so. Given how the series has become slightly more mainstream i would also expect more gooner garbage but still not to the extent of a lot of games.
>>61274
i've been looking at nuclear option it just never goes on sale
>>61373
The flak cannons were genuinely cancerous to play against and this is coming from a guy whose beat Crimson 1 on merc difficulty with every plane. The whole fight is annoying namely because of your listed reasons, its way too maneuverable which makes lining up shots with bombs (one of the most effective tools against the ship) hellacious along with bad hardpoint placement making MLAA's hard to use effectively. Trying to go guns or use standard missiles on it is hard because you get destroyed by flak guns.

i think the pink haired bitch all the redditroons are gooning to cuts her hair at some point in the game so she fills the niche of the Token Tomboy™ character that every ace combat game has

They're going to put a bunch of planes in the battlepass, aren't they? Sure we might get stuff like the F-5 for free in it, but the planes people really want, like the FB-22 and F-15 ACTIVE and such, will be in the paid tier. The more you want it and the higher performance it is, the higher tier it will be to drive player engagement, or at least encourage you to pay for boosted progress/shortcuts. They're going to bleed the hardcore fans dry. Just watch. It won't be Project Aces fault, it will be Bamco's fault. The only positive hope is that they add more pve and pvp maps/missions for free.

My respect for you drops by 33% if you call an F-16 a "Viper". No respect for the "Hi-Lo" philosophy of the F-15 (Eagle) and F-16 (Fighting Falcon) historical names.

Another day, another person says one Ace Combat game is melodramatic but the others aren't. I'm convinced nostalgic ESLs can't truly be reasoned with because they don't really understand what's being said and have those rose tinted glasses on top of that.

Su-25SM frogfoot is a playable aircraft in ace combat 8

Assuming you play it on decent good PC, the graphics look comparable to DCS in a lot of ways, and in some ways (ground topography) possibly even better. I know basically all the footage we have right now is running on a 5080, and the official stills like that one were likely taken on a 5090, but still, this game is going to look really good for years to come. This might be the game that convinces me I need more than a 3080, because I know I'm going to have to turn down a lot of settings to get a good native framerate and resolution because raytracing on anything less than like a 4090 is kind of crap. I've become a bit of a snob and really want to hit 120fps in as many games as possible.

Genuine game of the year material.

ITT we start a Ace combat 7 multiplayer lobby

>>69233
I don't play pvp. Maybe when 8 is out we'll meet in co-op, but you'll never know it's me. And that's a good thing because remaining anonymous here is nice.

Looking pretty good.

I pray that ace combat 8 is a gem

>>70258
It will be. I'm rarely wrong when it comes to judging games. It's my useless autistic skill.

You're looking at game of the year. Zelda and GTA are wet blankets in comparison.

Near the release date.

Go away rubbish combat
Namco will burn

>>71747
Im sotoan btw

>like half the early access reviews have spoilers
Retards.

You WILL pre order Ace Combat 8 so you can get a free copy of Ace Combat Zero, and you WILL be happy.

ACK combat is Lesotho kulchur ya much aurr

The game is super good and easily GotY btw.

Kind of low key hate one mission because of a "Tough enemy goes invincible mode and kills your allies many times. Screw your fun." mechanic.

Slightly hate a different mission because you genuinely don't get enough ammo to get a good score in low tier planes. You can still beat it just fine by doing the revert to checkpoint trick from 7 to replenish your ammo, but now doing this gives you a score penalty that basically locks you out of an S rank no matter what. This means they did the very stupid thing they did in 7, and playtested the game almost exclusively with higher tier planes that can carry a thrembillion missiles by default. Arbitrarily screwing over lower tier planes is a chronic problem in the series now.

Very low tier planes up to and including the F-14D are borderline garbage even with maneuverability upgrades. Why even have an upgrade system if you 100% need to use mobility parts to not feel miserable flying most of the planes? And all of the planes that need body upgrades badly don't give you enough slots to apply everything you would want to. 7 also kind of sucked here, but the planes weren't as dependent on mobility parts. It's stupid because the roll rate on real fighter jets is really fast. I swear the F/A-18C (starter plane) rolls slower than an A-10 does in real life. Need for Speed solved arcade vehicle upgrades like 20 years ago in Most Wanted 2005 and Carbon. Crap car? Just throw a ton of upgrades into it and it's almost as good as the best fully upgraded cars in the game. Still a reason to use those better cars, but it's not going to shaft you for picking the one you like the look and feel of.

I'm actually really mad about how they made the same rookie mistakes they made in 7 with the upgrade system. It was a solved problem before most of the users on this website and 4chan were even born. Kono is just a little too independent to use a tried and true upgrade system methodology.

Screen shake is extremely obnoxious at times.
The camera is way too close in 3rd person view and still wiggles around too much even when you change it to the old (meaning 7) style.

8 is definitely better than 7, but 6 very firmly remains undefeated in gameplay because they did oldschool/thorough playtesting for it. You can beat all of 6 in the F-16 (starter plane) without too many problems. As bad of a review as this sounds, I think AC8 floats between 8.2 and 8.8/10, with many of the smaller the gameplay details being the main negative. Still game of the year THOUGH.

I'm very tired right now and only 2/3 of the way through, so maybe my opinions will change a little. But I don't think my score range will change very much in the near future. If you have a keen eye for FUN game design and decades of serious gaming experience, the game obviously needs to be significantly patched. But with how game developers have been over the last 10 or so years, I won't be surprised if only a few small changes happen.

Looked at some Ace Combat 3 gameplay again to refresh my memory. O ya, it's the AC game for people who don't really care about gameplay and obsess over the 90's futuristic anime aesthetic. 4 is so much better it's unreal. Weebs really do have the worst taste.

Tell me ac8 is shit so it can continue my hatred of modern games? or at least being meh?

>>72920
It's like an 8 or 9/10. And not in the professional game "journalist" kind of way. It's actually really good. If you're still not sure about it, wait for it to go on sale.

>>72920
Some schizonigger on cuck/v/ days it's woke because walls = drumpf

>>72985
Most people on 4chan don't know anything about anything. They literally make up stuff on the spot and defend it to the death because they have bloated egos and assume they automatically know everything on a hunch. They're somehow more genuinely mentally retarded than Reddit these days. I don't even visit the place because it's been at least a decade since it was interesting and funny more often than once a week.

>>72998
I just want to find the latest new games but everyone is a schizo nigger nowadays.

>play assault mode
>target some random truck when there are a billion enemies to target all over the place
>see that another player on my team/other team is now also targeting the same truck
>switch to a SAM somewhere else, another player targets that SAM too
>repeat this process at least 20 times that match
>we run out of time before every enemy is destroyed and get reduced zoll because we get an A or B rank instead of S
This happens way too much. It's pretty much the only way to get lower than S rank. Retards don't understand that this system only helps kill super high tier/ace planes faster. Ground targets can't evade your missiles. Getting the S rank matters more to everyone in the match than a tiny winning team bonus. And MVP is pointless ego stroking for anti-social fags. It's a good co-op mode made a bit poopy because of how scoring works and because there's no plane score/level limit, so if you want to mess around in your level 4 A-6 you get put in a game with level 18, high tier planes. You can fix the other stuff but how do you fix retarded teammates that waste time trying to kill steal? We need a real coop mode that can scale from 2-8 players on the same team, kind of like the special sorties.
