Do they emulate well on PC?
>>
>>319654590
You need to run them in software mode to avoid lines across the screen and missing ground textures, I think Zero also has collision issues too.

They do not emulate well at all.
>>

I've heard unfortunately not.

Hopefully it will on the PS4 em.
>>
>>319654590
Is this a recent meme? I'm starting to see this constantly whenever ace combat is mentioned. No, they don't emulate well, they remain practically a PS2 exclusive. It's cheaper to get a ps2 and the games on ebay than it is to build a pc that can play this with no problems.

Because it's far too easy to just see the planes and go "fuck that, I don't like sims".

Honestly, this. I held off for ages because of this.
eventually, I played AC2 and was like "holy shit, this is great"
and then I played AC4 and I'm like "HOLY SHIT THIS IS GREAT"
Flight model is pretty fun and lets you do mostly whatever you want, you have more missiles available than remotely reasonable at a time, shit's fucking ace.

Anyone reading this thread, go play Ace Combat now.
bit of a shame AC4/5/0 don't emulate well, if you want to get your feet wet without paying and don't have a PS2 for some reason, I think ACX for the PSP emulates fine (only played it on my actual PSP, so I dunno) and AC2 for the PS1 definitely does.

>people actually think zero isn't by far the worst of the 3
Let's see, what did it add? Oh yeah, the 3 path gimmick based on how many optional targets you kill. Worst addition of the series, just serves to prolong missions.

What does it offer in terms of story? A bunch of totally disconnected cutscenes of characters who play almost no role bar Pixy. Pixy himself is interesting, but can't carry the whole game alone. Main plot point is BAWW NUKES, a theme explored in every single Nip game ever because they're still mad salty.

The final battle is a lame dogfight in which you joust. So why does anyone like this game? Oh yeah, le Spanish guitar. The OST is the only decent part of the game, and it's somehow managed to convince retards that this isn't the laziest title in the series.
>>
>>319658945

Yeah, let's compare that to the amazing depth and personality of your wingmen in 5

>>319659026
This. It's a terrible entrypoint, it's just a really weak version of 4. Crux is the only highlight, and doesn't even work if you play it first because you aren't used to the standard AWACS the rest of the games have.

If you have to emulate, play the first disc of 3. And then cry because both routes offer little to no explanation for the story, and you've already played the absolute peak of the series and it's all downhill from here.

Zero IS the worst of the three. I played them all when the PS2 was out.

Especially in terms of story, like you said.

Ayyyy.
>Also, introduces a new wingman, whose purpose is just to die. Even gave him cheap lines to make you care for him

Its by far the worst of the trilogy, and the only thing anons seem to like about it is the praise enemies give to Cipher.
Which is not at all original there, because "Jean Louise you're not going to believe this" and "Its the ghosts of Razgriz!" already exists and were by far way more badass.

Also, Zeros planes felt way too heavy, and some of them turned and accelerated so so badly.

This is precisely why Zero is the low point in the trilogy.

No matter how good a pilot Pixy is, he will never be as loyal as PJ, his replacement, who took a laser hit for us.

>>319664365
>try harder
Dude, its asinine, the things he says about borders and politics. Because Belka persisting in its war time effort will just shift the borders even more, as the allies push further into Belka while Pixy prolongs the war.

You know what the underlying message was? Pixy was jealous of Cipher because it was Cipher whom every single one of the interviewed pilots was talking about, as they grieve about their losses. The ending is basically Pixy admitting he's not number 1. He just couldn't accept not being the best so he went into a childish tantrum and dropped seven nukes. Everything he said about conflicts and borders was delusional and escapism of the truth.
>>
>>319664570
His point was to remove borders, but he forgot that those borders would still exist to the survivors and still be fought over.

You do know Pixy is a Belkan right? Maybe the fact that his home country just nuked itself out of some archaic sense of nationalistic honor and that in the end, it did nothing since the root cause of war exist might drive him to do something to end that cycle?

Pixy is still light years better than those peace mongering faggots from 5 and PJ.

No, you're wrong. The whole point of that line is that Yellow 13 realizes they're not untouchable and so he asks "Who was that?! Who the fuck grazed me?!". So it absolutely has to be you who hits him because you're Yellow 13's fated rival.

The "war" in Zero is literally over in like mission 7, or after Glatisant or whatever the fuck

Everything else is the other countries invading further in to seize resources and shit, I think Excalibur falls into that too

Pixy didn't defect because of "jealously" and anyone who actually believes that is a genuine fucking moron

He was a Belkan who hated what was happening and eventually decided that AWwNB was the way to go, the Belkans dropping the nukes was just the straw that broke the camel's back for him

You can tell he plans on it for a long time too because he has some very obvious radio chatter with Wizard squadron in the Round Table mission discussing it

Plot development
Best replayability
No kill targets for 20 minutes or 4 vs. 1 dogfights for plot devices.

God damn I miss me some dogfights, but they are stupid easy to exploit. Zero was the rushed license adventure, but AC5 was GOAT.

Zero is much better than AC5. Better missions, better characters, better story, better cutscenes, better wingman.

If one was hit, it would actually display the HIT marker, even briefly. It even happens a few seconds later when another plane is shot down.

Without any indicator that they hit, you have to assume they miss, especially since XLAAs travel for a long time and act wonky sometimes.

Aces is great, but The Unsung War is complete trash and highlights my point about filler dialog. The first five minutes of the mission is nothing but you flying towards SOLG listening to your retarded wingmen before the 8492nd shows up to save you from boredom. It's a complete anti-climax, especially when SOLG itself is so bad.

If you notice, after that dialogue, the Yellows aren't there anymore. So even if he was correct that it IS scripted if you're shit, they leave after that.

>>319675527
That means Zero is the worst. 3 versions of every mission. Yawn.

In AC5, there's 2 missions where you can choose to diverge. And even if you choose one or the other, the story picks off from which mission you completed, while giving you the sit rep on the other mission you chose to forego. AC5 is superior in gameplay and story. As well as music and characters.
>>
>>319675593
That means we're going to see this in an Ace Combat game in the near future for sure.

AC5 was bloated garbage.

ACES got WAY too full of themselves and created that went on too long, was full of retrograde design decisions, seriously unfun missions like White Noise, worthless dialogue shit, and useless AI companions.

The ideal to provide personalized banter while cutting down on distractions and BS is a wingman, and no dialogue trees.
