The PS1 games are pretty good.
The first one (Air Combat) probably not worth the effort, Ace Combat 2 is a bit dated but still fun. Ace Combat 3 is a weird one, real interesting. The PS2 titles are all golden, Ace Combat 6 is alright - more of the same but not on the level of the PS2 titles.
Only play Assault Horizon if you're DESPERATE for more similar gameplay. Its not an awful game in its own right, I suppose, but its an awful Ace Combat game, if you know what I mean.
>>
>>336966237
>Ace Combat 6 is alright - more of the same but not on the level of the PS2 titles.

AC6 has way more going on than the PS2 titles. Way bigger operations and new maneuvers like high-G Turn. It is honestly really great in the gameplay department.

>>336966338
Problem is the missions can kind of drag on too long at times with not a lot of interesting stuff going on.
>>
>>336966338

It's hard to say this about an Ace Combat game, but you just feel overpowered in 6. You get so many missiles and it's so easy to spam them.
>>
>>336966338
>AC6 has way more going on than the PS2 titles. Way bigger operations and new maneuvers like high-G Turn.
True, I forgot about the high-G turn, that was neat.
To be honest though, I thought the bigger operations did more harm than good. There were so few missions from memory, it really lacked a lot of the variety in missions the older games had, and they went on for so long as well.
I don't remember the story being anything to write home about, either - at least not on the level of the PS2 titles.

>I don't remember the story being anything to write home about, either - at least not on the level of the PS2 titles.
4 is the only PS2 game with a good story though. 5/0 start off good but then turn kinda stupid. You can't even ignore them, either, since the story gets way more focus instead of being in the background with different characters like in 4.
I mean, 6's story is worse than 4's, sure, but at least it doesn't go to shit halfway through.
>>
>>336964730
Play 5 and Zero; personally i'd play 5 before Zero. 6 is good. 360 exclusive though.

PS1 is pretty basic. AC4 was the real turn in the series, first of the "Holy Trinity". Don't play NA AC3 unless really curious.

Assault Horizon HD is hot garbage. For one, it wasn't done by Project Aces. Because of that, it tried to aim at an American audience (at the time,COD MW2 was out) and failed miserably. Think of it this way: Assault Horizon HD is to the franchise what Shadow the Hedgehog is to the Sonic franchise; a failed marketing ploy.

However, Assault Horizon Legacy on the 3DS is completely fine. It's a remake of AC2. Shame it had the AH name attached to it.
>>
>>336968863
I love the way that they told the story in 4. Just felt really nice.
5 was great aside from all of the "muh peace" nonsense, but it had some moments that still give me chills (though I admit that nostalgia plays a part in it. That cutscene with the kestrel sinking and then the president and prime minister making their speech still makes me feel things.
0 did an interesting take on how to tell the story and though the live action scenes were weird at first, it felt like a good way to tell a prequel story.

>>336969282
>Assault Horizon HD is hot garbage. For one, it wasn't done by Project Aces.
Yes it was. They just did a really bad job because they didn't know what people wanted. Though that's sort of reasonable, since half the time it seems like AC fans don't know what they want either.

AH us a perfectly serviceable game that doesn't warranty a "don't play" recommendation. There are certainly terrible aspects about it, some forced DFM and the helicopter missions, but at is still a decent game. Sure, it's something you might want to play last, as mentioned, but it is hardly a bad game unless you're a massive acefag that probably shits on games like HAWX (the second game was sort of bad) or other flight games like Blazing Angels.

Also, I'd like to point out that the ace squads started with AC 2, not 0. And AC2 has a remastered version the PS2 with slightly improved graphics.

And no, no one should just place AHL instead of AC2. They should play both. AHL has no Fire Youngman and the music in general is not as "bitching" as AC2 rock music in the slightest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEeB2R-outc

In fact, if possible, people should actually play AC2 even before the PS2 games, so they can actually appreciate the improvements and see how much AC2 sets the standard in the series.

>the game is shit for being repetitive and monotonous unlike REAL pokemon games where you're traveling a region.
Not really. There's some repetition to it, to be sure, but a large part of the enjoyment comes from all the challenges you face when traveling to a dungeon and confronting new obstacles. The game is about item management and preparation, and it pushes the player to learn how to best handle enemies who are far above one's own level. Plus there's so much story focus that any amount of monotony that might be gained is avoided thanks to a constantly moving story with new events continuously happening and new dungeons to go to. REAL Pokemon games are more monotonous, since there's never any sense of challenge or need for thought to be put into the games to win.

But nevermind that; this is an AC thread.

And what are good reasons to actually avoid AH?

It has some gimmick mechanics, a dry story (but with an ending that mocks the bullshit drama in AC5 that made me LOL hard), and some missions are terribly designed. The game as a whole is still isn't nearly as bad as Acefags claim it to be and it will hardly sout any nonfanboy from the series. One of the complaints they use to throw out was also the fact that it wasn't Strangereal, though they've mostly shut up about that. I guess they found out AC series isn't exclusively strangereal.

You say this in an Ace Combat thread, where one of the appeals is the strong hype story of these games full of cool over-the-top scifi moments and mysteries and stuff. Games are pieces of media that have a combination of other elements to them; movies tell stories, music can tell stories...and so on. And they can add to it. Context added to the events of a game can make a game more enjoyable, giving meaning to what you're doing and reason for transitions between places. Context can help determine whether a boss fight is hype or not, and so on. In some ways story can directly complement gameplay, since context can determine how excited you are to do something in a game (like if a game made you want to kill a boss more than simply being a boss to beat).
I'm not saying story is the only thing that's important, but it can help make a good game better.

I don't know, I'd say it's a fair rating.

If AC3JP was exactly the same as AC3US, it'd be OK. But because the JP version had cutscenes, varied endings, and you know, actual characters, AC3US is say, a 7/10.

It is, of course, saved by really cool UI and technical design, play mechanics, music, and sound.

As somebody that played it recently, it runs and handles like crap. The core gameplay of the series has only improved over the years. AC1 doesn't even have dualshock support and the HUD is split between first and third person making you switch constantly. Visually it's uninspiring and hardly pushing the capabilities of even PS1 hardware.

no, story never makes a game better. it makes i worse. then the game becomes a playable movie like uncharted. fuck off.

here, I'll give you a chance.

they're both linear, both cinematic, both emphasize narrative progression, both have lots of cutscenes, both have fanbases that care more about plot and characters.

Because you actually need to understand the concept of flight combat mechanics to progress in the game.
>>
>>336982987
I've never played Uncharted. I'm not attempting to make such an argument. I just argued that having some level of story focus isn't a bad thing, and you disagreed. There's not much left to discuss.

I will say that I personally find Ace Combat games to be frustratingly difficult, and that lock-on still requires you to be aiming at your enemies and keep track of them in order to work, which is difficult when fighting enemies that move through the air at high speeds and when you can't turn on a dime. A lot of story stuff happens outside of cutscenes, with characters talking as you do the gameplay and story events happening in relation to what you're doing/seeing on the screen, so they don't detract from the gameplay since you'll still be doing your air combat all the while. A lot of missions require somewhat precise control over an airplane due to anti air gun areas and such.

it's not a fucking sim. might as well say "you have to understand the mechanics of third person shooting in order to progress in uncharted" as a defense for that shit not being a movie as well.
>>
>>336983391
Adding to that, some of the mission can actually be fairly long. In AC6 you could spend 40 minutes in a single mission with most of the time in combat.

Missiles, guns, and bombs are not magic, they still have their own mechanics. They are not hitscan or physicsless.

>>336983807
Uncharted has a better cutscene:gameplay ratio than a number of games almost universally praised here. The Order 1886 would be a less flawed example to shitpost with.

some would say uncharted on crushing is "hard" as well. Doesn't not make it a movie though same with ace combat.

Okay? The Narrative is just there to give incitement to complete the game rather than just playing through a series of arenas where you kill x number of enemies for no reason other than because you like watching planes explode.
