Both. One was willing to launch a nuclear attack for his ideals, and the other was a bloodthirsty mercenary who killed every enemy combatant he came across.

I don't know what call signs are, but I played a jet pilot simulator arcade game by Sega at that Main Event place recently, and that was pretty enjoyable until I started flying outside of mission boundaries and lost.
And no, it wasn't afterburner. It was something else with like 3 screens, and a bunch of levers, buttons, and other shit.

Callsign

Honestly, I was hoping if anyone knew what game I was talking about.
Something simulator. Seems 2 gens ago, maybe. Not recent at least.

Cream Sauce 69

Basically a nickname you use while flying
Although most of the thread is actually posting squadro names

Is it true that japs didn't like 3?
Why is that?

Too much fictional planes or some shit like that

Probably because it's far less fun to play than 2.
3 did sell decently, though. Less than 1/4/5, but better than 2, and much better than 0/6. Though that's not really hard, since 0/6 sold like shit. Especially 6. Being 360 exclusive really screwed that game.

fucking disgusting

AC7 will be shit? Or not?

Yet what an Ace combat thread

It had better fucking not.

Crash 4.

Does not seem to know how to properly land his aircraft.

Hey anons
Should I bother with AC7 if I've never played the rest? Never liked Fly Simulators but i kinda want to give it a try

They are not simulators user. Far from it.

5 and Zero emulate well enough so you can give them a spin to see if you are into it.

Thanks lad, will do

Poopsock 7

I doubt you'll need to have played the other games to enjoy 7. 6 came out like a decade ago, so there's no way the devs will assume everyone will have played it, let alone the other games that are even older.
That said, we have no idea if 7 will be good or not. Maybe it'll suck. There are plenty of bad Ace Combats. Some are good, but not all of them. Maybe 7 willl be bad too.

notGregor 2

There's no simulation about them, controls couldn't be simpler

Mercenary is canon

Other user here. How do I get into the Ace Combat series?

On the plus side, none of the main series games have sucked, the only shitty ones have been handheld, mobile or spinoffs.

Emulate 4 or find a copy if you still have your PS2

Just play the games. Despite most of the games taking place in the same continuity, they're all self-contained stories that contain, at best, light references to previous games. Even 5 and 0 are only loosely linked together, and that's the heaviest continuity in the franchise.

People usually recommend the PS2 games first before branching out to the rest of the franchise. Just avoid Assault Horizon and you're good.

Rooster 6.

Play 4. Everyone likes 4.
5 sucks though. 3's pretty bad too, even if the branching missions and story are good.

Thanks!

AC games are arcade shooters, not simulators.

Is the story in Ace Combat actually good because this sounds interesting and I had no idea it was this deep.

Lehel 12.

The story is full ham and cheese animu that focuses on cool moments with the plot largely being an excuse to get the player to shoot things. You're not getting a philosophical masterpiece. We like it because it's ham and cheese animu.

It's _____fun_____

Depends on the game. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it has potential but then turns retarded. Sometimes it's just really dull and best ignored. One time it seemed interesting but not enough people bought campaign passes so it never even got finished.

They're cheesy as fuck, the kind where dudes stares at the sunrise while a cute piano music plays ( youtube.com/watch?v=nQPntHe28O8 ) reflecting on everything that has happened to them and stuff
And then 10 seconds later you start shooting a falling satellite

the "story" in ace combat games is generally fairly average fake-politics-and-war stuff

however, it takes place in a pretty cool setting (countries built superweapons to try to avert an apocalyptic meteor shower, and now that that's over they've got nothing better to do than use them on each other)

although the plots are mediocre, they all form the backdrop for what i consider to be the best progression from zero to hero in video gaming

you always start out as a literal who but by the end people know your name and when you show up on a battlefield the bad guys are shitting their pants over the radio and the good guys are celebrating and it really makes you feel like hot shit

I tried to make this in BF4. I had very limited selection of emblem making parts though.

Why the fuck can't I be Erusean, fuck Osea.

>played AC0 as my first AC recently, not expecting anything too special
>mfw it was actually one of the best videogame experiences I've ever had
Do any other AC games even come close to Zero in terms of atmosphere and storytelling?

I tried to make the ISAF logo in BF4 but halfway through I realized they don't have letters and gave up on touching it up.

>implying we won't get a "everyone was being played by Belkans, we're all friends now" ending.

4 and 3 has better atmosphere

there's a reason 4, 5, and 0 are called the holy trinity

4 has the same feeling of zero to hero, though you can only become jet fighter jesus instead of the 3 options you get in 0.

Although you do get one of the best lines in Ace Combat history

Goodbuddy 1 or Buddy 1

4's story is better. It's a lot lower key and your character is barely involved in it, but it's still better.
3's is good too but it's kinda out there. It's set in the future so there's a lot of weird stuff going on, and the tone is totally different to 0's. It's more about intrigue and people betraying each other and stuff like that.

Chan 4

I'm not going to answer yes or no because I don't fully understand what you think of AC0's atmosphere and storytelling, and don't want to get your expectations up for something because we had different ideas about what made it good.
