Ace Combat 4

This was fantastic, I just finished it and I am blown away. I haven't had this much fun with a game in ages. Why isn't this talked about more?

Try 5 and zero next. They're even better.

ACE COMBAT THREAD, BITCHES

I love this game. I really really love this game.

They aren't. They can have a better gameplay but 4 stories just sweeps them off the table.

That's really debatable. I thought Zero had the best and most concise story. I also enjoyed 5's anime melodrama plot.

>Mobius one being jesus
>good story
>better than zero

Should I play them in the release or the chronological order? I want to have the perfect experience with the two.

always release

>That's really debatable
Not really. No other Ace Combat gave such a different point of view of the whole war. The Yellow Pilot, the city liberated. It's characters were living in a bigger world than the bubble that the other's games make where everything happen just in the pilot's sphere.

Thanks, guessed it already but I just wanted to make sure

Should I give this series a try even if I don't normally like flight games? Like I'm not a big racing game fan but loved Burnout 3. Is AC comparable to that at all?

I'm a Burnout fan who likes Ace Combat, but I don't have any reasons to give you on you'll like AC because of Burnout.

And this still can't be emulated properly, what a shame. At least 5 and Zero work. I've been playing 3 and 2 recently, they aren't too bad either. Not as smooth controls, but I guess that's understandable. This is the best fucking series ever, I hope they don't fuck up 7.

Yes. But I don't know if it still hold out today (the graphics, the gameplay and etc) but it truly deserve a chance for you to find out.

There's no sim element to the ac games at all, it's just arcadey yet challenging fun.

AC is an arcade sim, so it's completely different. than most.

The games are great. Try 4 and see if you like it.

Well what I'm asking is if Ace Combat is accessible to people who don't play flight simulator games similar to how Burnout is very accessible and arcadey.

Oh definitely man.

Okay that's what I wanted to know. I'll probably start with one of the PS2 era ones.

I've never played any Ace Combat before, should i start from the first one?

4 or the 3DS one are good starting games.

I'd recommend starting with the sixth gen games rather than going back to the PS1. Up to you though.

Not really, play the three ps2 ones, the others are just for hardcore fans who need their ace combat fix really.

>ITT Mobiusbabbys think they know a good story

How does 4 emulate nowadays? last I checked it still had some texture glitches even tho 5 and 0 ran perfectly. inb4 software mode.

If you have access to a ps2 you can just play the holy trinity: 4, 5, Zero

I should probably try to beat X again. I gave up because the controls didn't feel really good, but since emulators are a thing now, maybe it'll be better.

software mode

0's story is only as good because of the framing device just like 04's you faggot.

yeah, fuck you too

BEEP BEEP FRESH NEW OC COMING THROUGH

software mode runs well though and looks decent with fxaa slapped on it. What's wrong with it?

Thank you, i'll start from the ps2 ones.

Laptop i7

just set audio to async mix and you won't even notice the framerate drops

I have a 3DS, wii U and a PC and want to get into AC

What do

Are you really going to shitpost a good thread?

pcsx2 my dude

I've been thinking of buying an used ps2 just for playing these kind of old games . It's easy to make the games and unblock it and nothing beats having the real thing ready (except the maintenance problems)

3 and 4 are the only ACs with good stories.
1 and 2 don't even have stories, it's just there are some bad guys and you should kill them.
5's writing is terrible because it was rushed as shit so the characters suck and the plot is retarded. It also has the worst dialogue in the entire series, and that's saying something when 6 exists.
0 starts off good but turns stupid at the end since AWWNB's formation and plan are both just dumb.
6 is just really boring. It's not actively bad or anything, it's just really boring and nobody cares about it.
AH is AH. It does have the advantage of having dialogue written by a native English speaker instead of written in Japanese and then translated to English badly, but it's still AH.

Maybe the handheld ones are good too, but I haven't played them. When it comes to numbered games though, only 3 and 4 are worthwhile. The writing in the rest isn't any good.

BELKA STRONK

Attention nuggets, this is not a drill, AC7 preorder is up for $50 on Amazon.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE COLLECTORS EDITION SCAMCO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I also just finished 04 recently. If you loved it, you are in for a fucking TREAT with The Unsung War.

4 will always be my favorite Ace Combat.

>6 is just really boring. It's not actively bad or anything, it's just really boring and nobody cares about it.
I care about 6

Assault Horizon Legacy for 3DS.

6's story is boring as shit though. The Estovakian officer is alright, but every other character is just a waste of time. Absolutely not worth watching the cutscenes involving them. Much better to just skip them and get back to dropping cluster bombs on your own country because Talisman is kind of a dick.

6 was good. my opinion but I think it's as good as the ps2 games.

>They all have ribbons!

Buy a fucking ps2 and the 3 games you cheapskate

If we're going to judge AC6 based solely on its on characters, then 6 is ahead of 5 in my book. Even if 6's characters are boring, 5's are actively annoying. This is probably going to be a seriously unpopular opinion, but I also think 6's actual gameplay is better than any of the other games in the series.

I'd also disagree that 6's characters are boring. No one is close to pixy or narrator boy levels of good but I do remember most of them. The only ones I really disliked were the little girl and her mom.

6's story/dialogue/characters/whatever are better than 5's, sure, but that doesn't mean much. 5's writing is really fucking terrible. Being better isn't hard.
Thinking 6 has the best gameplay isn't really a controversial opinion either. Lots of people like 6's gameplay. I just wish it had more missions/planes. I can understand why it didn't, since it was the first game of the generation so they had to put a lot of effort into just making it work, but it would have been nice if it had more. If only it'd been more successful so they would have made a sequel that could have built off it like 5/0 did to 4.
