play 5, then zero

Play all the PS2 games, those are pretty much essential

you don't need to play 4

3 (JP version with English patch), 4, 5, 0, X, 6, Joint Assualt and Assualt Horizon Legacy (remake of AC2, not to be confused with Assualt Horizon) are all worth your time.

Since nobody else is giving you a sensible answer:

play the PS2 games: 4, 5, 0
then 6 if you have a 360

How does Joint Assault hold up? I've been hearing verying opinions on it.

6 on x360 is kino, the PS2 games are mediocre at best

Just play 6 and Assault Horizon. They are the epitome of the series, graphically and gameplay wise. The PS2 games are much more simplistic and smaller scale.

Star Fox 64 > Ace Combat series

This is entirely true for the PS2 games, those games are fucking nothing, but the series evolved with 6 and became a proper flight combat game rather than 3 hour long on rails bullshit. Assault Horizon continued that trend.

stale bait

I want baitfags off my ace combat threads

04, 5 and then Zero

If you liked it but want more political drama, find a way to play 6.
If you don't mind older games, 2 is still good and Electrosphere recently got a translation.

Assault Horizon and Assault Horizon Legacy (2 remake) are both trash.

>you don't need to play objectively best game

What's wrong with Legacy?

he's right though, 4 is objectively more arcadey than the other 2 and some new players might not appreciate that.

You can push a button and teleport behind whoever's tailing you in a second-long animation. It's crimped into a handheld screen with handheld sensibilities (no camera control with second analog). It's tripe.

a miserable pile of borders

AC5 ending is still the best one in the series

it's okay but worse than X and the setting isn't as interesting.

Play the JP import of AC3. I heard there has been a recent translation of it, though. I won't help you there.
Play 2, 4 and Zero. Fuck 5, and fuck those angels. Also, fuck 6.

serious question: why does 6 get so much hate?

I absolutely loved it. I know the story/voice acting is a bit trash but it doesn't seem any worse than any other weeb shit. Is that the only reason or am i missing something else

After completing it a couple of times i'd just turn the voices down to minimum and roleplay that i was in some big Russian/NATO air war.

It's completely optional and some bosses will fuck you up for using it on them. You can debate if it's better than 2 but it certainly is one of the best 3ds games

6 is good. Ass horizon doesn't deserve Ace Combat name.

The whole " hold the shoulder buttons to do a tight turn " thing casualized it.

Emulation has come a long way since 2015, you can emulate the ps2 games pretty much perfectly now with a little bit of tweaking.

It doesn't, the game is one of the most praised... well, the only "problem" is its exclusivity to the 360.

Assault Horizon is the one that you should be mentioning mate.

Why is she so perfect?

>why does 6 get so much hate?
Fox and the grapes.
Meh, I don't have very many 3DS games but I don't rank Legacy high at all. More on the low side with the shovelware.

Are you going to tell us what this is? Or are we gunna' have to make you?

While I can emulate 5 and 0 well enough, I still have some problems emulating 4.

it's a bullshot of a potential Muv Luv game

This is going to be the GOAT:

>that generic music
Man, this and Vector Thrust really helped to highlight just how good the Ace Combat soundtracks are.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still looking forward to PW but damn, I never fully appreciated just how polished AC games are until I started to compare them to stuff like this.

...

Perfect mindbroken battle spoils after burning her kingdom to the ground? I agree.

STOP

Namco Sound Team are gifted dudes.

>muh airplane jousting
>muh Buddy

what the fuck is that disgusting theme

does 4 work on emulators yet? last time I tried the gameplay worked but you had to skip the cut scenes or it would freeze or some shit.

you can try with pcsx2 1.5.0 with the mipmapping but I heard some user say it still doesn't work.
