Damn I missed it, had a bad headache this morning so I went back to sleep and ended up sleeping all day.

I wish I didn't have to miss the GAF event
We will hopefully play again next week at the same time, we could change the time and date to something different if necessary.

I have three questions guys, if any of you can answer those i would be grateful.
- is it possible to play it offline?
- whats the download size?
- is it shitty like the last Ace Combat game or awesome like older ones?
Demonlord of the round table out!

no offline play at all. you have to sign in to play campaign
3.2 gigs
god no, its arguably the best gameplay of the series imo - and they got rid of the shitty dogfight mechanic too.

whats the download size? - about 3 gigs
is it shitty like the last Ace Combat game or awesome like older ones? - It is a good mix between classic and Assault Horizon
"Demonlord of the round table out!"? Pft, already taken, mate.
Dogfight mode is not shitty. It has it's purpose in Assault Horizon and works well, you just have to realize that Assault Horizon plays differently than classic Ace Combat games. Also, thx to it we have the best competitive multiplayer yet.

I bought the campaign.
Dat Nagase. I was kinda expecting some small cutscenes and less briefing slides.

Yeah, coming from AC5 and 0 you kind of get used to watching excellent and long cutscenes :/
You're playing into the hands (pockets?) of Namco. Use mercenary contracts instead of wasting fuel on forced sorties to earn credits faster, unless you feel that research is a terrible grind.
Your avatar is not transparent, but this should be transparent and within NeoGAF's avatar size limits.

Thanks guys, will download it soon, would be awesome to play with some of you guys.

Many thanks for the image!
Im using mercenary contracts along with forced sortie. Im getting 60k-70k+ per match.

Aren't you forgetting someone ? You know... the man who got MVP with a Morgan
Well I fucked up, so I played easy that round lol.
It was really fun playing with you guys, looking forward to next time.
Looks like I managed to mess it up anyway, unless my cache still stores your old avatar instead of the one I modified. Just in case, this should be under both the size and dimension limit.

Razgriz is the only one I would go for(and was my first on Gaf)but with it in my name it was kinda overkill.
Speaking of emblems im still mad we never got the Ace Combat avatar packs on PlayStation in the US.

Merc contract + forced fuel = $$,$$$
I'll happily take the nemesis of my namesake. Thank you.
Used up all of my aircraft research reports to get the F/A-18 last night. Hopefully I can get a decent ranking tonight with my last few supplied fuel.
What is the merc contract? Forced fuel meaning stocked? Sorry, I'm old and I'm still not up to par on the ps3/360 gen. I would be completely baffled by ps4/x1 games, lol.
I got the F/A-18F tonight; very nice aircraft. Now, to level it up and upgrade parts!
[edit] love that Wardog emblem!

Man you just can't stay competitive in this tournament unless you are putting hundreds into fuel.
Gone through 70 fuels and was #130, S rank nearly every mission scoring 35K-48K.
Run out of fuel and drop into the 2,000s, buy a little more fuel and every match im jumping 60- 100 players until I run out again.
When you select your fuel at the start of the match you can use more than 1 this doubles your earnings.
definitely do this for Moby Dick.
Merc contract just means you earn more.

Playing casually right now. haven't bought campaign ticket yet but might soon.
I'm not very good at this game I think. I do fine each mission but usually have 2-4 people get higher points than me. My best yet is 45004 pts on Alps Air Corridor. My current plane of choice is super hornet.
Also I alway laugh when next set of enemies pop up after you clear the first wave, most people including me alway go farm the planes that just spawned trying to rack up points.
Edit: Yes! finally got the Zipang!

Finally got the Zipang! Took around 40 or so sorties.
I live by this. So close to the F-15E. So close I can taste it

Modified it to fit the size restrictions, so it should appear transparent.

Saw someone with a gold Reaper emblem, how in the world do you get that.

Working on making those Gryphus, Garuda and Wardog emblems transparent right now and then resizing them to fit NeoGAF's avatar size restrictions.

S rank all missions in the campaign
next time check the wiki
Well last I had checked all but the easiest emblems just had question marks.
Oh shit Lv 10's unlock a nickname as well.

How do I unlock Zipang? I keep getting the schemes but the aircraft remains greyed out in the special development tree.
The F-14A -Zipang- is a Limited-Time Drop, you're probably getting the F-14A Normal Skin #01 Limited-Time Drop which is a skin for the F-14A Tomcat with three colour variations.

Welp, bought the campaign pass for mission 5.
There is just no way im going to be able to save up to 400,000 credits for a single mission vs plane upgrades.
Dear God the Zipang at Lv 5 feels like the the most agile plane I recall in an Ace Combat.

I demand for a title change:
Ace Combat Infinity |OT| For The Love of God, Delay The Final Attack!

Yah the Zipang's stats scale really insanely, but I'm sure the last captain-rank planes will feel about the same.

Probably,
after using it though I can't even imagine a Lv5 F22 let alone the next five upgrades for the Zipang.

Seriously.
I''ll have the su-35 before the end of the day definitely. But that T-50... I can only imagine the pricetag just to get to level 3

Damn, I want that Zipang, until when the Zipang can drop?
most people are saying that it drops after 40 sorties post-patch

Nice work. Do you have one for Wizard or Sorcerer Squadron from Zero?
