I still often play Zero because of how much I enjoy the final mission, although the final sequence as a whole from The Demon of The Round Table to Zero is one of the greatest ending sequences in gaming.

>>386262608
Never played any of the Ace Combat games, are they good?
>>386262921
Almost the entire series is incredible, I can only think of Assault Horizon and the international release of 3 being the bad ones of the bunch.
>>386262921
Does this sounds like it belongs to a bad game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlPK_53Rrhw

I try not to rely too much on the final mission themes 'cause they're so above our reality that using them almost feels like cheating
>>386263048
>>386263051
>>386263162
Well I guess I'll play them. Do I need to play the games in order to get the story or are the games independent of each other in terms of lore?
>>386263474
How about The Round Table themes then? Contact is my personal favourite
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTd7uR7bVRI
>>386263583
Play AC4, AC5 and ACZ in that order first, then you can play the rest of the games. Those three are the pinnacle of the series even if all the games are great.
>>386263401
There are so many good themes, such an amazing or better yet consistent ost
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haEoo0RHu-Q
>>386263583
Indepedent, 5 and 0 are related but by no means does one depends on the other
Still a good idea to go chronological order 'cause the gameplay does get a bit smoother from 4 to 5
Sucks that the best AC meme came from the worst AC game.
>>386263585
Aw yeah Contact is my shit, whenever i'm doing too good i always delay the final hit until 1:45 starts playing
>>386263676Twowas prettyfun.
Even the DS game was decent.

We'll get them soon enough, Buddy.In 2019.
>>386263583
They have a timeline and elements of other games/locations show up from time to time.
I think it's some thing like this:
Ace Combat 0 and Ace Combat 1 take place in the same time but different parts of Strangerea
Then Ace Combat 2, 2 years later.
Ace Combat 4, 5-7 years after 2
Ace Combat 5, 5 years after 4
Ace Combat 6, 5 years after 5
Then I assume it's Ace Comat 7
Finally Ace Combat 3: The Animu which is 40? years after Ace Combat 1
>HIS TWISTED GAME NEEDS TO BE RESET!
<<Yo buddy, just look at the view. There's not much difference between those countries from up here.>>
<<Can you see any borders from here? What have borders given us?>>
I always liked the callbacks to the beginning in the final mission.
I have never played any Ace Combat games before and planning to get the PC port of AC7.
Will any game be required for AC7 for story reasons?
>>386264431
7 Will be 9~10 years after 5, around the same time as Xwhich is far enough in the timeline to have more COFFIN aircrafts, hope there's some in 7
>>386264431
The timeline is:
Ace Combat Zero/Air Combat - 1995
Ace Combat Two/Assault Horizon Legacy - 1998
Ace Combat Four - 2004/2005
Ace Combat Five - 2010
Ace Combat Six - 2016
Ace Combat Seven/X/Xi - 2020
Ace Combat Advance - 2032
Ace Combat Three - 2040
>>386264629
We don't know for sure yet, but if the game sticks with the same mentality as the previous ones then no. There will probably be callbacks for the benefit of players already familiar with the older games, but those will be mostly throwaway line with the plot itself being self-contained.
>>386264629
Hard to say how important it'll be to the story, but there's references for 4 and 5
>>386262608
i hope they make an hd remaster or some shit of the ps2 games
i just bought them so i could play them and pretty much all of them are broken
>>386264823
Close enough.
I haven't played the PSP games so didn't add them
>>386265240
Yeah, the rest of the games like Joint Assault, Assault Horizon and Infinity all take place in other time universes completely separate from the Strangereal one.
>>386264867Ulysses X1994F04plays a huge role in most games 4 and above.
>>386265435
Sure but the various fallout from it is explained in each game's plot.
>>386265435
So does thean heroing of Belka by nukesbut you don't have to play them to know of their impact.
I only just got into the series with emulating Zero. It's actually pretty entertaining to play with a joystick on PC. I really need to play more.
>>386265892
Zero's where I started in the series too. It took me a while to get used to the controls and mechanics at it didn't have tutorials unlike 4 and 5 but it paid off as it allowed me to learn everything from experience over just pulling the same moves you get taught in the tutorials.
Right I'm honestly not trying to ruffle any feathers here: I don't like AC0 that much and I don't know why it's so liked, aside from the OST and the Pixy fight.
Can a few of you guys explain why I'm wrong? It just felt like a rushed copycat of 4 and 5 with less plot and characterisation.
>>386262608
<<HERE COMES THE SNOW>>
>>386266397
Me again. Seriously, it upsets me that these threads are always people going wild over Zero and I can't join in the fun.
>>386266397
It's the most vanilla of them IMO, 4 has a little too much "Kill shit until time passes" mission and 5 tries a lot of gimmick missions, some of which are not that successful, 0 is pretty straightforward with simple "Destroy the targets" missions and i appreciate that
Also, the L3 funcion

>>moving on to squadron
You mean Unsung War? You're in for a pretty story heavy game and you'll be stuck with the same characters for a long time
You'll probably hate this Chopper dude but give him a chance, he gets pretty based by the end of the game
>>386262608
I hope we get more footage from the TGS
>>386266397
There's nothing wrong with your opinion, when it comes to the AC series almost none of them are bad so it more comes down to personal taste.
For me personally, I enjoyed Zero as characters had some depth to them such as Pixy being this cool headed and cocky ace only for it to be revealed he actually fights for ideals as well rather than just cash after Stage of the Apocalypse, while AC5 had generic trope characters that had no real depth to them along with the constant anti-war rhetoric it uses and doesn't go easy on.
I also enjoyed all the aces they put in the game and how missions were more straight forward rather than being point building or gimmick missions, as it allowed for players to enjoy the dog fighting in the game more without worrying about time limits, having to get enough points or doing unusual and annoying tasks.
>>386266868
A much more focused story. It's more hands on so it's a bit of a love it or hate it game.I love it. Fucking love it. Top 5, easily.

Same. The only dumb parts were the cutscenes, and Shamrock going full emo in the second-last mission. Atmosphere was leagues better than any other game. Made me feel like an ace of aces among aces and not like I'm the only person in the entire military that isn't a retard.
>>386262608
Am I the only one who hates this stupid weird voiceover that sounds fake as fuck and not fitting and the shitty ass weapon sounds all the time?
The soundtrack made that boss battle
>>386268325
Zero is easily the best track in the entire series and the reason why the final mission was so great.

You'll likely miss more by playing AC2 aside from some great OST and a few missions that got cut from AHL since AHL takes what was in AC2 and actually fits in into the Strangereal world better.
>>386269345He got shot down like a bitch.
PIXY WAS A GLOBALIST KIKE

Funnily enough his backstory of getting called Solo Wing was based on an incident where an Israeli fighter pilot lost a wing during a training exercise in his F-15 Eagle but managed to safely land thanks to the aircraft's excellent stability.

Wait, really? Hopefully that's just "reporter mode" so they don't complain about it

There was already an Australian reporter that called the gameplay dull and bland as well as totally lack luster.

>>386270547
Forgot which video was it, but in one of the E3 demos the guy went straight down to the ground and only took 50% damage, it wasn't no grazing either, dude went nose diving

Pixy is from Belka which in Zero is Strangereal's equivalent of Nazi Germany but with less mass murder
>>386271017
>but with less mass murder
So more Jews?
>>386271017
If Pixy is from Nazi Germany why would he be complaining about "muh borders"
>>386270830
Infinity and AH has the floor bouncing only on Easy modo.
>>386271286
If there are no borders then no one owns clay. Therefore the clay is free for everyone. The Belkans will then have all of the clay.
>>386271187
No Jews.
If anything, the Belkan Nationalists are the Jews since they eventually try to destroy two superpowers through a war engineered by them to steal land after the countries are weakened.
>>386271476
Third Israeli Reich
>>386271476
If there is no Jewish genocide then there are more Jews in the world.
>>386271661
But Jews don't exist in Strangereal.

It's been awhile since I've played 04 but is there any reason to stick around and fight those guys other than score? Why not just go straight for the targets?
>>386274070
On higher difficulties they'll wipe out the rest of Mobius Squadron and approach Megalith to attack you while you deal with the targets.
>>386274070
Nah, it's only required for score and rank. They're high-value though so it's worth it for the cash.

When the game was released in NA and EU, they got basically no budget. The game only got 1 disk instead of two, so the game length was cut in half, and then they couldn't afford any translators, so they removed all voice acting and cut scenes.
