but now you can do Ace Combat X - Mission 1 [4K 60 FPS FULL ULTRA HD QUALITY] for those sweet youtube algorithm clicks, so is it all bad?

My experience dodging them was the exact same as firing them; they had good seeker logic but weak turning so if you didn't turn hard right as they got close, they would continue seeking in better than AC's missiles which get distracted by everything.

I've already sent out notices to the folks for the re-recordings, so hopefully that's gonna start this week.

I can't help but find funny how not very useful the "Pull Up" message is when you fly too low: it sounds like someone bored making a suggestion instead of an actual warning message
:geno: "Your altitude is too low.. pause ..pull up" :geno:

it's been programmed to recognize the protagonist of the title, who will - inevitably - have no respect whatsoever for things like altitude or clearance or anything involving flight safety

I'll admit I've considered redoing the HAWK LPs. Mostly because my soundtrack choices doesn't really work, and it's subtitled, and some of my commentary is honestly... pretty bad.
Not to mention the Halo ones considering 3 is available for PC now, but I feel others have that handled nowadays.

but then you'd have to replay HAWX

so long as you keep the Crenshaw Counter (tm) though...

I definitely agree that game has some awful checkpointing.

Wingman doesn't have any checkpointing at all :v:

my guess is like many things it got cut for time as opposed to a deliberate misunderstanding of Zero. Considering the number of other almost-complete features that didn't make it (e.g. a near-finished A-10) this seems plausible as yet another one.

That too! It's been fifteen years and it feels downright criminal none of the other Ace Combats have used this idea.

probably because it rarely works out in practice as well as in theory. Branching campaign structure usually means a lot of developer time wasted as players don't see the branches and it adds a ton of overhead to creating it. that's been true since the 90s at least and the value proposition is only getting worse as dev costs go up :shrug:

sure, you get the rare game like Alpha Protocol, but it's definitely the exception

They seriously need to consider remastering this game and/or bring it in more line with current canon in regards to Strangereal.

Hell, release it for the PS5/XBXS if that’s what it takes.

I would much rather they spend the time making more good ace combats instead

I suppose that’s the trade off, then.

glib replies aside, I think X remake would be an incredibly hard sell? Because it's so clearly a product of the PSP's limitations a remaster just wouldn't do much and a remake would be a lot of effort to bring it up to par. At that point just make a new game? It doesn't have - to my knowledge - the sort of glowing fanbase love the PS2 trilogy did so it has to stand up on more than nostalgia.

Do they likely have skyline chili in Dayton? I've always wanted to try it.

Yes, there's one fairly close to Wright-Patterson. And even if that one doesn't work out, flight prices probably mean flying into Columbus or Cincinnati and driving, so I'm pretty sure you can get it.

Oh, it's the name of the restaurant, not just the dish. Thanks for pointing it out. There's one near the hotels, too.

I think Skyline (the restaurant) is just one place to get skyline (the dish) which should probably be called cincinnati-style chili or something, but brand recognition is a powerful thing. May as well get Skyline Skyline though, right?

i really want some four-ways right now...

So, I'm curious, on a scale of 1-10 (1=brain dead, 10=genius) What's everyone's opinion on the building of several massive particle beam cannons fueled by what amounts to a probably heavily overclocked large Hadron collider, in the middle of a heavily populated city?

for us: 1
for Strangereal, where anti-asteroid weaponry is literally a global pastime, probably a 10. Zero deflection shots are so much easier to calculate, after all.

I've never been to a proper Skyline so keep that in mind, but I've had the dish at another place. In my opinion, the more ways the better, because that means more stuff stacked on it. Place I went to topped out at five-ways. I thought Skyline topped at four but wikipedia misled me compared to their menu!

I do know some people who swear by coney dogs too, so ... I don't think you can go wrong.

Angry_Ed posted:

That's Strangereal for you :v:

that's true...what's Strangereal hawaii called, then I can complain they aren't grounded there. But it's true that Strangereal has a global belief in availability rates that's well over the line of fanatical. Every single air force can produce an enormous range of flyable planes in perfect working order at all times.

nine-gear crow posted:

So our next update will look at the absolute worst-case disaster situation of Mission 7C (Time Limit), followed by the slightly less disaster-centric and more fun Mission 12C (Wild Card). Since we’ve seen all the permutations of missions leading to each of them, doing another run of Part 2 is belaboring the point, so 7C and 12C should be considered nothing more than a pair of bonus updates for now.

excellent :getin:

Planes with bullshit superweapons is bad enough. You put verified aces in those planes? Yeah, no. That’s a recipe for a bad time. We can deal with the superweapons easily enough; it won’t be any sort of cakewalk, but we can deal.

Please, let me know by posting something about it so that I know people are actually reading this poo poo and I’m not just screaming into the void about the nichest entry in a series of already niche games about magic jet planes and fantasyland geopolitics that falls apart the second you bother to try and analyze any of it.

would it be rude if I just posted tl;dr, which suggests I didn't read it but by specifically quoting this part I'm implicitly acknowledging I did read it, thus sending us into an ironic reading feedback loop?

yeah? yeah, I thought so too.

X is just kinda empty, start to finish. It's there. It exists. It gave me a mean hand cramp trying to play it on a real PSP (while curled into a window seat on a plane flight, for maximum aviation) and uh, I wish the Apalis had a showing in a better game?
