I couldn't follow the war or storyline of AC2 at all, so here's hoping this one's better. Wonder when the series is going to finally have a female protagonist.

Cooked Auto posted:I'd argue that the callsigns are neutral enough to just say that Mobius One/Blaze/Cipher/Phoenix is a female pilot if you so like. Just spitballing here, but one thought I've had watching this LP series is that a potentially interesting way to tell an Ace Combat story would be to feature a protagonist squadron, with the actual PC faceless but each mission's briefing/inter-mission story bit narrated by one of your squadron mates, perhaps as flashbacks or perhaps as journal entries written during the conflict.

A fun fact about the Bear: it's so ungodly loud that submarines have picked them up on hydrophone.

Cooked Auto posted:It's like they saw the Thunderscreech and went "Yeah we can do better than that" and so they did. Still less metal than the Valkyrie, though. A plane that surfs its own vortex of air for lift.

Yep, and there's a small number of aircraft today that use it, like the O-2 Skymaster. It's called the push-pull configuration, and it was used for a number of seaplanes in the early to mid-20th century most significantly. Like pusher prop (propeller at the rear) designs, it's just not as efficient or practical as the traditional puller prop (propeller at the front) design.

All I can think of when listening to the story and in-game chatter in these games is, I think they'd be a lot more fun if all the dialogue was replaced with a voice pack like Lunethex uses over in the Battlezone LP. Does anyone take these games' stories and characters seriously?

Ashsaber posted:Its one of the more enjoyed parts of the series, especially the in game chatter. It is extremely fun when by the midgame the enemy collectively flips their poo poo at the very sight of your emblem. I do enjoy that, I just think these games are so silly I think it's something of a waste that they by and large take themselves so seriously. Which admittedly is itself part of why they're so absurd to me.

Well, that mission's going to be one hell of an ecological disaster for the region. I don't envy the poor bastards trying to contain this oil spill.

Let's Play Ace Combat 04: Environmentalists' Lament Regarding the Ace Combat 7 speculation, somehow I get a funny feeling the final mission will ask you to fly up into the space elevator and have a dogfight inside the space station at the other end.

Or if the ISAF is competent, they may have had a decoy strike going on somewhere else to attract Stonehenge's attention before this operation started.

The thought also occurs to me that it's probably impossible to hide from the public what Stonehenge is firing at. Assuming Erusia isn't comically evil, there's no way to spin "We just tried to murder a bunch of women and children" into positive press.

nine-gear crow posted:The term came to contemporary cultural awareness in the mid-90s with the John Travolta/Christian Slater action movie Broken Arrow by John Woo. It was not a good movie. It did have one good line, though: "I don't know what's scarier, it happening or that it happens so often there's a term for it."

With the talk of the battlefields in the next game, you know you have to support the navy every chance you get. Because it takes serious balls to name the Iowa-class flagship of your navy the Marigold.

Well that was underwhelming. I was expecting something more based on the music.

Brunom1 posted:It's the kind of thing that loses a bit of impact when it's not you at the controls. Still, near as I could tell Megalith never actually shot at nine-gear. A brief dogfight against planes you've shot down several times by now that aren't even the squadron they ostensibly represent, then a few trench runs against a stationary target that doesn't shoot back.
