Start with 4 on ps2.

>>379714083
This. 4,5&0 is the holy trinity.

if you only have a pc or a modern console then AH is the only you can get, its pretty good but the gunship and helo missions suck.

Yoooo. That picture is not assault horizon its ace combat 5. You can tell because the protagonist plane in 5 is the recently decommissioned F-14, the wonderful green tint, OADF on left plane, and the blue and white star insignia on the planes.

>not having at least 3 PS2s lying around in storage
Did you not fall for the thin ps2 meme?

Is this a 'jump in anywhere' franchise?
I don't want any elitists telling me I need the whole package, I honestly don't care I just wanna get the new one.

Retard probably only played assault horizon and thought that's the entire series.

start with 4

ERUSEA A SHIT

AC4 a best, 5 and 0 were okay

>>379714398
Emulation exists.

>>379714606
You're in luck. The only continuity (apart from timeline autism which isn't important) is the main character from 4 showing up in 5, and 0 being a prequel to 5.

04, 5 and Zero. Aka the PS2 trilogy

>>379713854
4, 5, 0 on PS2. 6 too if you have a 360 laying around.

>>379714812
Good to know

6 is better than 0.

>>379714812
>>379715803
Even then:
>4's main character shows up in a separate mode in 5, distinct from 5's main story
>Beyond minor references and being able to foresee a major plot event, anything you need to know about 5 to understand 0 is explained in 0 itself
That being said, 4/5/0 are called the Holy Trinity for a reason. Play all of them via emulation or an old PS2.

Reminder not to trust Belka propaganda. God bless you, Oseans

>>379713854
I started AC4 and while I didnt find it terrible I felt it kind of... boring. I only played the first few missions, does it get more intense later?

You can probably just jump right in to AC7 when it launches, although since the nations from AC4 and AC5/0 are the ones at war you'll probably miss out on a shit ton of references/fanservice moments

Electrosphere
Get the fan translated JP released, it's fucking great.

Emulation for 4/5/0 sucks so buy a PS2 and the three games for like $50-60 total. Shit's cheap.
Play 6 if you have a 360 and also play the translation patch of JP Electrosphere. US version cut a ton of content.

How is AC 6?
I am one of those weird people who doesn't own a PS2, but maybe I'll pick up one eventually...

>>379719340
>I played Assault Horizon Legacy
Isn't Legacy a remake of AC2?

>>379719636
You can play it if you like to dance with the angles mister!

>>379719636
It's great, don't let them ell you otherwise.
It's got decent graphics, good soundrtrack and some nice boss fights. There's not much bad to say about it, some people think the story is overtly cheesy, but that's kinda the case with every Ace Combat game.
All in all a very good game and worth a try.

>>379719802
Yes but it also added a dodge mechanic

>>379719472
>Emulation for 4/5/0 sucks
Did you try 1.5.0?

>>379719636
The story is less engaging than 4/5/0 but the gameplay is still good

I have a PS2 but no ace combat gaems.

If I emulate them, are they okay?

Start with 4/5/0.
Then 6 if you have an X360 and Assault Horizon Legacy if you have a 3DS.
Then download the Jap version of 3 with english translation.
Finish up with the two PSP games

>check out ace combat 4 gameplay

The game changes style from game to game. 4 is anime cutscenes, 5 is CG and AC0 is live actors.

>>379716846

04. It's Shattered Skies or Distant Thunder depending on your region.

I started with AH, because HAWX sounded a lot more fun at the time, because marketing for PAL releases of the PS2 games completely forgot to mention all the feels and superweapons

>>379716137
Stick with it a couple more missions, you'll be in for a treat.

>>379720432
they're barely anime cutscenes, they're fucking slide shows
and where the fuck do you think you are?

It's okay. The emphasis on grand battles means you'll be babysitting allies a lot. The enemy aces are a little weak and the plane variety is limited compared to its direct predecessor, ACZero. The game is drop-dead gorgeous, though.

>>379720432
