The other control option in ace combat games seriously hinders your ability to play and I don't know why it's there

IIRC Novice controls were essentially designed to give players who are more used to a grounded 3D game world (platformers, driving games etc) a feel for the general style of play and a more three-dimensional style of movement, and new players are meant to adjust them to Standard about a couple of missions in. For some reason they changed it to ‘standard’ and ‘expert’ in this one, which just upends everything.

Finished the game. Really good but drones kinda lack charisma and the series staple trench run isn't as cool as the other games

The game owns really hard overall though, probably gonna replay it a couple more times

Bought this yesterday, it’s amazing so far. The air combat feels quite good and the difficulty feels really balanced on hard mode.

The story... well... it’s fine.

Are there aces to fight in each mission in this?

All the missions feel pretty similar so far. Do a part with ground targets>drones show up after.

It’s way more interesting fighting other planes

New Game+ for the aces I think, OP

I’m almost done a second playthrough on ace mode and I find it much more enjoyable. The AI planes actually present a reasonable challenge, especially towards the end. Also with better aircraft the early levels against the drones are far less tedious.

The sound design of this game is so good. OST really sets the mood, and it feels so good to just evade a missile and hear it rocket by.

It’s pretty hard to get aces to appear I feel. I’ve had a couple s ranks where they didn’t come up.

I’m reviving my thread since…there is another Ace Combat in the works! Hopefully it’s not a mobile or f2p game.

Having only vaguely enjoyed AC7 the first time around I’ve gone through it again and really enjoyed it. I’ll be honest and say some of the DLC planes make it more fun as to unlock some of the really neat ones in the base game is pretty grindy. Some great music as well.
