Zero because you can skip most of the boring ground attack missions and if you do play them, they're based on static score thresholds where you're graded on time instead of static time thresholds where you're graded on score. For some reason they went back to the latter method after changing over to the former for Zero, even though it sucks dick.

>>737052801
4, 5 and Zero are all great. I think 5 has my favorite moments overall though.

>>737052801

7 for gameplay
5 for narrative
Zero for replay+unlock loop and how it should be standardized for the series

more long, elaborate and challenging missions like in 7

incoherent rushed story, like in 7

The woke bullshit in ACE 8 worries me.

Stuff that's been in AC games since at least 3
Even 1 had female pilots but they were just names and helmets
Don't worry about shitposters, they'll bump these threads for years

somehow AC4 has one of the best stories told in a video game, it also has the best music so that one.

Online coop. Just that.
Maybe add jpeg dog in the ship but please add mission coop.

>>737055524
to me nothing will top AC4 but its not like any of the mainline AC's are bad games.
at worst they drop down to 6/10's.

It's hard to gauge, RL pilots aren't doing the kind of shit that AC pilots do, but at the same time AC pilots are made of sterner stuff so they can tank those kinds of g-forces without issue
I'd be more worried about radiation and laser burns

>RL pilots aren't doing the kind of shit that AC pilots do, but at the same time AC pilots are made of sterner stuff so they can tank those kinds of g-forces without issue
i beg to differ
plenty of Air force dudes were like "all that 6G-9G stuff is highly exaggerated and we would have no problem flying those routes and doing those Gs
I heard the issue at that point is consistently that the plane can't handle it
and worse, that no plane "needs" to do that due to satellite, laser, and autonomously guided munitions

>>737057215
This, dogfighting is dead and jet propelled craft aren't suited for turn fights anyway. Air missions now are mostly strike and recon. If by some fucking fluke you have to engage enemy aircraft, you're doing it with missiles from miles away.

My worry is that it could run like fucking ASS
Dev diary explicitly mentioned Lumen, I am not exactly enthused by the standard of jap coding.
My top fear is horrendous unreal 5 quality ghosting.

>We could totally do it, it's the plane that's the problem
Weak
AC pilots are also pulling those Gs inside Avalon Dam and other ridiculous locations and circumstances
I guess the failure is on us for not making a world of tunnels and railcannons and satellites so big you can fly through them
And that is a failure, just like BVR

>>737057421
its pretty fucking funny that I saw some discourse on Takara Tomy's "Over G fighters" and how that was an "ace combat like"
the game has flying back to bases to refuel and rearm, and the core gameplay is literally
>fly into range
>get lock
>fire missile
>turn and burn
at which point the most OP plane in that game is the raptor
>>737057561

I hate this catch 22.

7 is the only AC games I've played and it's genuinely terrible. Project Wingman is better in every way.

I hope to see more enemy ace squadrons like in Zero. I fear for Tasha's life, but I'm guessing they'll probably kill Professor (the black guy) first.

It definitely tells it's story in such a way that makes their highs unusually kino. I still think about when you finally nail your first Yellow.
>"WHO HIT ME?"
I hope AC8 does more of that. Maybe some higher tier pilots in parts of the airspace you can either choose to engage (with/without wingman) or not (with dialogue to match all 3 outcomes) that eventually become regular enemies later in the game.

no, 3 was the only one with danger-hair fe-males (since it's the most anime of the games by far)
i don't have a problem with keith or wiseman or swordsman yellow 4 because they're all cool, i just don't think pink haired magical girl high schooler is cool. and i think ac3 is cool and its cast is fun, but ac3 is hardly representative of the rest of the series

Is it really danger hair when it's anime? Not to mention that they're still all basic hair colours (black, blonde, brown), the closest you get is Martha's ginger hair being rather light
Hell Nagase has black hair and her characterisation puts her one transformation sequence away from becoming Princess Magical Dove, there's always going to be an anime influence first and foremost (not counting AH)
Obviously shitposters are shitposters but I think people in general will come around

yeah but she has the fatal flaw of being an absolute shit pilot who has to have her ass rescued multiple times

It felt like an unconnected series of events that just randomly happen. What was the point of you being convicted? Why was the Mihaly data only relevant for a single mission and dealt with immediately? Everything felt really rushed and schizophrenic. Even the space shuttle thing at the end.

>>737052801
>What's the best Ace Combat?
Zero
>What are your hopes and fears for Ace Combat 8?
Hopes? Split loadouts from Project Wingman. Fears? That this is gonna be AC5-2.

>>737062132
I read somewhere that a lot of shit was cut and rushed, so yeah, it wasn't their best. I like the SP missions tho.

>>737062132
AC7 is pretty much 3 plots that they tried to shove into one due to the shitshow that was the game's development. Part of the reason why I'm interested in 8 is because development was likely much less of a shitshow and so far the premise seems much more locked in. It's also the first time in quite a while that we are experiencing the story cutscenes through the protagonist instead of some narrator.

>>737062132
>What was the point of you being convicted?
Establishing hook, there's a conspiracy afoot and you just happen to be the fall guy (this will backfire against the villains later)
>Why was the Mihaly data only relevant for a single mission and dealt with immediately?
Mihaly's data is the whole reason there are dangerous drones in the first place, they talk about this multiple times and missions
>Even the space shuttle thing at the end.
Ace Combat 5 reference (referencing material outside the game which is even more weird)
>Everything felt really rushed and schizophrenic.
Ultimately, it was, the game's narrative was reworked multiple times
Still, the content isn't really confusing, it's the way it's told and paced that's the issue

>>737062328
