It doesn't guarantee a failure loop, you're just bad  if we're doing hot takes already in this thread, I'll point out a lot of criticism leveled at AH (not your post) could equally apply to 04 and boy howdy do overly serious fanboys get mad about that one. It's good times. also, crow, it's the F-22A Raptor. It's not the F/A-22. It had a variety of designators including that one, but when it was officially accepted into service in 2005, F-22A. According to wikipedia, which would never lie to me. Psion fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Aug 22, 2016 |

Tythas posted:Was in the Airforce can confirm the F-22A part though everyone just calls it the F-22 even on paper yeah, I rarely if ever see the A at the end, but I never ever see the F/A designation except for Super Hornet drivers, all of whom probably drop the /A whenever they can, too.

Based on what I've read from DeFelice and knowing Namco's history, I think he was given the unenviable task of being told to make an Ace Combat game that also had to be Modern Warfare, and that while everyone tried hard, well  Here are some archived versions of what he wrote about it at the time: http://web.archive.org/web/20111031112942/http://www.jimdefelice.com/Assault_Horizon_16FE.html http://web.archive.org/web/20111031113053/http://www.jimdefelice.com/Assault_Horizon_Peo_LTKZ.html spoilers, I guess, considering. The first one speaks directly to rad's post.

He's got it a little mixed up there - the F-35B is the V/STOL version, the F-35C is the naval carrier-capable version. But, yes, I would have loved to have seen how they managed to make the F-35B doing hover tricks and poo poo into an Ace Combat mission.

As far as I know no - either AH isn't very moddable or nobody cares to find out. I imagine it's both. It's too bad - I'd love to mod the DLC plane selection into campaign. Like, keep the class restrictions per mission sure whatever, but if the mission allows fighters and multirole, let me pick any, not just the ones in the 1.0 launch.

It frontloads all the bad missions, so you can either do a steam refund or push through to mission 6, where it starts being consistently good and continues; after 8 is where it's very good. like I'm not gonna pretend to defend the opening of AH as good because it frontloads the worst missions and the most egregiously bad scripted TGT_LEAD DFMs, that poo poo's a one-two punch I totally understand hating. It makes up for it and then some in the back half, though. And then the final bossfight, wellllll let's just concentrate on the world's best QTE instead hot tip: play Oil Field in an F-4, pretend you are playing Area 88 in HD.

VKing posted:That's the most boring AC130 video I've ever seen. Is that the original (lack of) music as well? Yeah, it's boring. The music is just tuned really low, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exjZbEtUX7w (music is also boring, sorry) the only good AC-130 mission was COD4, and not just because it was the first in the modern oorah simulator market, but because they understood how to make it worth playing what amounts to a point and click arcade simulator. Though being first didn't hurt, that's for sure.

Yeah, the mission is wholly unremarkable, but Blockade isn't. 04 hasn't had a remarkable mission yet, really - partially because they're still doing tutorials and partially because 04 only has a few really good missions  in my opinion #7 and #8 are the first two good missions, but they're really good, so it's worth it getting there Psion fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Sep 11, 2016 |

The ground-attack mode thing is called ASM, not DFM. you see, the more acronyms, the more realistic it is!! also criticizing AH's cast when we're watching an LP of Mobius One, the cipher before Cipher?

NobleSixFour posted:My head is still ringing from the force of my facepalm the first time I played the pipeline mission. Highly Integrated Target System? Really? I laughed at that one. I mean, here's the thing. It sounds dumb. It also sounds exactly like something Defense Contractor #3 would try to sell to DOD. And probably succeed. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but it's bleakly appropriate. consider Rockwell's FireStorm Integrated Targeting System (yes, FireStorm, just like that) and there's also Raytheon's Handheld Integrated Targeting System for the same HITS acronym. These are real things, or at least real Powerpoint presentations Psion fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Sep 27, 2016 |

NobleSixFour posted:Dude the A-10 is the best plane for that mission. It goes so slowly that if you brake for any amount of time at all the pursuing fighters just shoot right past you due to their scripting and you just pick them off easy as pie. Top Gun rules on air combat, right here. This does lead to amusing situations in other AC games where, in order to S-rank a mission which is nominally "go fast and chase x, get to point y, etc" the solution is to immediately stomp on the airbrakes and shoot every pursuer up the tailpipe and then proceed.

I'm not sure how else you'd balance them, though it could be Infinity took it too far, I don't know. Magic QAAM missiles which shoot out of your rear end and go directly into targets behind you is the province of badly scripted final boss encounters involving overly long QTEs (not bitter) and in no way shape or form balanced. They can't be so good at tracking as to render evasive action useless but if they aren't better enough over regular missiles there's no reason to take them. It's a tough spot. the only missile which should be ultimate killdeath when it hits is a SAAM because keeping a lock circle on someone (especially the smaller circle in more recent games) is something which both requires skill and renders you hideously vulnerable to taking a missile yourself. If this means I can rack up a huge kill streak in using a MiG-21 or F-4, that's fine.

they didn't bind gunpods to the same key as guns, so you had to hold two buttons to get MAXIMUM GUNPOWER and that was annoying also SAAM sniping to get the killstreak reward repeatedly was magical. MiG-21, PAK-FA. MiG-21, PAK-FA.

Cooked Auto posted:Aside from the menus being a bit clunky I didn't have that many noticeable performance issues with ACAH. And then I played most of it on probably a slightly under recommended spec machine before I upgraded. Yeah, there was some obvious console port UI but it ran really smooth on my PC which is a few years old now. I'm so ready for 7, hearing it'll be on PC is a very nice surprise.

Cooked Auto posted:Well I was going to say that really depends on if they'll bother giving people tools for it but you know people are just going to figure out how to do it anyway. There are Macross skins for ACAH that never got hacked out, though, did they? I mean I expect with 7 being a mainline title and probably launching the same day as the other platforms might help on this regard, but I know there were Japan-only VF-1 skins for the Super Tomcat (of course) that I wanted and couldn't get.

I think TTG is misinterpreting an event in 6 but I'm not going to say more than that. I get what you're referring to but I think there's a very significant difference to what we saw in the trailer for 7; and that assumes we're interpreting it anywhere close to correctly. now that said, independent of any context, the idea of a penal pilot camp? it's not like this hasn't been done before. let's just sort of ... hypothetically assume there are some pilots who signed some bad contracts and have to pay off a significant, uh, let's call it debt. But the quartermaster is really corrupt so no matter how much they get paid for doing these insanely high-risk missions they never quite seem to break even, especially when they have to replace their planes... now where have I heard this before?

Ask me about joining a co-op partner's DFM on that mission and the game helpfully flying me into the ground. That one mission in co-op is oddly buggier than everything else in the game, go figure. also for what it's worth, putting in a re-record vote. You don't want to start a thread on the wrong foot. What platform you do it on is up to you.
