Pakman said:Is it just me or do you guys keep getting dropped in team battle games? It seems 1 out of every 3 games I loose connection to the host and drop a minute after a battle starts. Is that because the damn host is quitting or is it something else? Because this is driving me nuts.
Y2Kev said:Holy fucking shit this game looks unbelievable. Like UNBELIEVABLE unbelievable.
I just popped it in and it just looks so amazing. Bright, colorful, the opening cinema was fantastic (though way overwrought, but it's Project Aces so whatever). The planes are so gorgeous I don't want to shift into the plane HUD mode. The smoke trails are obscene, the ocean looks fabulous, and you can see the enemy bombing and their little bombs hitting. And the music!
Project Aces is the only team at namco worth a crap graphically. This game looks ABSURD.
Maggot9 said:How's the music? Epic like the others? Does this one have a "theme" like the others?
Your absolutely right about that. No need to apologize. Man this game looks all type of awesome.watership said:They're not 'next gen' but they're very in tune with the digital text type displays the series always has used. It's a design choice, representing the digital displays in modern fighter aircraft.

Y2Kev said:Holy tit balls this game is insane. I just beat mission six with the nice wind effect and the smoke and rain everywhere....it's absolutely stunning and completely an adrenaline rush.

Y2Kev said:I took some OMFGBBQ shots I will upload as soon as I am done with mission 7, which is a biotch.

I've never really understood the AC series. I picked up 4 w/flightstick but all I made it through was the training and the first few missions. Was too complicated for me. I enjoy arcade flight games like Afterburner where you just fly straight and shoot stuff while rolling and I enjoyed sim-type ones like Wing Commander, Tie Fighter, Colony Wars back in the day, but last time I tried AC it was just confusing. I swear every mission was like fly until you are in range and your missle locks turn red then let go on the circle x repeat for 20 mins.
Is AC6 a sort of newbie/mainstream AC for people like me who don't get the AC series? I love the graphics and soundtrack so I'm sort of tempted to get it after a price drop, but then I think of AC4 and I step away.
gkrykewy said:Okay... looks like if this isn't patched, ranked online is going to end up populated by CFA-44 (this is a bonus plane you unlock by beating the game on hard) railgun spammers. In player matches, the host can limit plane and weapon selections, but not in ranked matches.
ItsInMyVeins said:I haven't played any of the Ace Combat games before, and I'm not sure if I'm into simulation style of flying. I like that stuff a bit arcadish.
But the wallpapers makes me wanna buy this game when released here.
Yeah, Ace Combat is like the PGR of flight action games. It's not sim, but it's not arcadey either.Schafer said:Ace Combat isn't simulation at all. In any way.
Seriously. Your plane has on average like 300 missiles on it.
mikekennyb said:For the life of my I can't figure out how to use allied cover/allied attack! Does it automatically do that when you have the meter filled up and tell your wingman to cover you or attack?
gkrykewy said:When it's shown as an option (meter full enough), HOLD up or down on the d-pad for a second.

I liked ac5 more, in terms of story. I still remember Chopper, Edge, Acher, Swordsman. The Razgriz, Honestly I liked the Story from Ac5 the best, The music from Ac0 the best.watership said:Is the storytelling/voice work worse than Ace Combat 5? That whole photographer asking questions/narating was so bad. "She opens a book. it's a red book."
Or the whole singing bit. Ug.

I dont think its that as much as its the fact they try and tell the story from too many people's perspective. Also then don't really give any depth to Garuda team.Y2Kev said:It was kind of refreshing almost to see that "journalist" thing done in AC5, but no, it was not well written then either.
This is way worse, though, because that really awesome sense of isolation you got early in AC5 is gone and the woman is way more annoying.

and btw Kev, we gotta try out the co op!
Llyranor said:Wait, how many difficulties are there? (including unlockable ones)
I like a high difficulty in my games; most of my favorite games tend to rank high on the difficulty scale. The demo was hilariously easy it was ridiculous.
Now, I've never played an AC game before this, and I'm getting the flightstick (I'm a sucker for peripherals). If I don't want my hand held, should I just start at the highest diff available, or are there lower diffs that are challenging enough as well for the average 'hardcore' gamer (to promote replays)?
