Neither is better than the other.

5 is a longer game, has more mission variety, and has tons of planes to choose from.

Zero has a larger focus on dogfights against enemy aces, and the three Ace Styles add to the replay value.

This isn't a good thing. Most of the missions are only longer because they have so much stupid dialog filler, and all the variety relies on dumb gimmicks.

At the expense of needing to grind to unlock them and being locked to one subweapon.

Those problems as well as the awful dialog/story and no resupply mechanic definitely make 5 the worst of the PS2 trilogy.

You'll have to explain what you consider to be dumb gimmicks. Personally, I enjoy the variety in the missions. Zero's are not bad, but they're pretty short and to the point.

>At the expense of needing to grind to unlock them and being locked to one subweapon.

This is a fair point.

>Those problems as well as the awful dialog/story and no resupply mechanic definitely make 5 the worst of the PS2 trilogy.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree here, because I liked the story in 5; I liked each of the PS2 games' stories.

4 was really the only one of the three to really make use of a resupply line. Zero only used it for a few missions; and quite frankly, having a resupply line can make things a bit too easy.

>You'll have to explain what you consider to be dumb gimmicks.

The "coordinate your attacks with your retarded wingmen" is easily the most obvious choice. Can't forget the dumb spy mission as well.

>they're pretty short and to the point

That's a good thing. Too many of 5's missions have way too much down time where you aren't doing anything but flying around aimlessly waiting for the NPCs to shut up.

>having a resupply line can make things a bit too easy

These games aren't difficult in the first place. Some planes simply don't have enough ammo to make it through certain missions, and you're forced to rely on the borderline retarded AI to finish things. Desert Lighting/Arrow shows this perfectly.

>>
>>316435094
So you like missions taking two or three times as long just to listen to some dumb anti-war NPCs? It's complete garbage and destroys the pacing.

>If this is an issue you have

It's not an issue with me, it's a problem of the game itself. Some of 5's missions just aren't balanced well and have a bloated amount of enemies.

>You get a lot more freedom to use what you want there.

Is the guy drooling rainbows better than the guy being touched by god? Is guy with one eyebrow raised worse than guy with blank face or guy with slightly mad face?

>The "coordinate your attacks with your retarded wingmen" is easily the most obvious choice. Can't forget the dumb spy mission as well.

What the hell, what is the problem with those? Some variety was super welcome, especially after Ace 4 in which the vast majority of the missions was "score x points and then do event".

Ace 5 excels because it has the best mission designs of the trilogy. That doesn't make it the better game but it's toe to toe with Zero and 4.

>Ace 5 excels because it has the best mission designs of the trilogy.

This very much. Many of 4's missions were "Get X or higher score before the time's up." but 5 had so much variety to it.

Zero is my favorite for Story+Characters.

They all have amazing sountracks.

Ace Combat 5 for story.

The JPN 3 on emulator was my introduction to the series, so that.

4 and 6 are pretty good. Haven't played the other PS2 ones. Thought AHL on 3DS was kind of weird, liked the PSP Joint Assault better.

Basically energy for mobile games. Can only do so many missions before it recharges. Can pay real world money to refill.

Apparently the skill cap is still there though. You can still kick major ass with like the first plane you get in the game so that's cool.
It's a little trademark of the original ace combat but it's nice that they still let you do that.

They give you 3 fuel supplies to start, each one is an online play match. So when you're out of fuel you are forced to

>wait for resupply (to get another full three takes like 12 hours)
>earn fuel some other way, like for clearing the campaign you get 20
>buy it on PSN for 99 cents per.

It's pretty slimy overall and frustrating when you would have gladly paid $59.99 for a disc game with unlimited online play. But it's fun of course, so...

Oh? I thought the fuel was for single player use, not multiplayer. Is the campaign worth playing? Can't hurt booting up my PS3 I guess.

fuel is for single player as well, unless you buy the unlimited campaign ticket for $20, then you can play them all for free and as much as you want

without the ticket each mission takes a fuel to play and any mission past the first (or maybe the first 2, dont remember) is going to cost a metric assload of credits which you would rather be spending on planes

by the time you had enough credits to play all the missions without the unlimited ticket, you would be so burnt out and jaded with the game that you probably wouldnt want to anyway

the 8 missions we have are fun, but if you do play them be aware that it ends on a shitty cliffhanger

i think they planned another set of 8 missions but decided they'd just do better to keep rehashing tournaments and expensive superplanes

Basically improve on the things Ace 6 did wrong but take what it did right.

The game itself isn't bad it only sold like shit because of a supposed retarded deal with microsoft. If it was released on the PS3 it would have been fine but those in charge thought the series needed change because of low sales.

Physics wise I don't know how things are now in Infinity, I hear it has good gameplay, but the game should try to be closer to Zero and AC4 instead of AC5 and AC6, but copy the mission design direction from AC5 and bring back fucking strangereal.

Also the lauded remasters collection should be released prior to re-ignite interest in the series after AH awfulness and Infinity's F2P bullshit burned everyone.

Finally release everything on the PC too for now on so that the series are replayable in the far future and we don't have a scenario like the PS2 trilogy again or AC6 being locked to the 360.

- more branching mission paths and alternate endings

- campaign that's long enough to be satisfying, but doesn't include any padding or filler
- no leaving out or hiding the scoring system
- good mix of fictional and real aircraft, including both series regulars and ones that haven't shown up before
- return of the ace squadron bosses from AC0 and Cross Rumble
- detailed cockpits and plane models
- either FMV or "anime-style" cutscenes
