I am thinking to get these games.
So /m/, what games in the ACE series I should play?
And secondly, is knowledge of moon necessary to play the games?
>>13570561
2 & 3
If you watched the series featured, youd have a rough idea of the plot, the mission briefings have handy pictures included you can infer from. The only problem you could have is understanding the OG plot.
>>13567062
ACE 2 best game for variety in missions and levels
favorite unit is YF-19
Shinku a best
that continuous mission in ACE2 fighting the giant tower with lazers is best mission
favorite boss: fighting Neue Ziel for the first timeACE:R and Portable a shit
>>13570567
I wasn't really sure what was going on there. Apparently Maria is Takku's girlfriend? I thought she was his sister. According to the guide I was using, he proposes to her at the end of the game.
>>13570573
yeah Marina Carson is his waifu
what happened to Takk in ACE3 though, and why Marina using his Gunark instead of hers
>>13570578
He disappears, iirc. Either that or he hangs up being a soldier. It's one of those I think.
It's been a while since I went through 3 without skipping dialogue.

Operation Stardust and fighting against Neue Zielespecially during your first run when you basically had to use the Dendrobium Orchis since all your other units are shit by comparison
ACE R = EASY MODO for Buyer's Re/m/orse
>>13570612
A lot of super robots use almost exclusively melee weapons or else don't have any guns and stick to forward facing beams. They wouldn't work well for a shooty game. I'd love an action game with something like Dancouga or Gunbuster though
>>13572406
D-Hell and God Gundam are melee-focused though, so what's the problem with adding a Gurren Lagann or a Combattler V?
>>13570538
Never. R killed the franchise
>>13572353
>ACE R = EASY MODO for Buyer's Re/m/orse
That's not Z2 and Z3.
>>13572411
I haven't played these games, but I assume they made those two really fast to compensate for the lack of range.
Being fast wouldn't make sense for something like Combattler on account of the fact that it's fucking huge. Unless they made you transform into Grandasher mode all the time, but not all robots have something like that. God Mars, for example, would be fucked, as would Combattler's pal Voltes. I doubt Daitarn and Zambot would do well either.
Don't get me wrong, though, it's totally doable for some. Can you imagine how awesome playing as Jeeg would be in an action game? It'd be like playing as Monsoon from MGR except with interchangeable parts
>>13572438
Z2 and Z3 were boring movie games with little tactical depth, but they still work. They're not bad, just mediocre. ACE R is a bad game because on top of adding unskippable cutscenes, briefs, debriefs, and focusing on series /m/ isn't allowed to like, R also fucked up the controls and the gameplay.
>>13570538
I wish we'd get something. ACE is a fun series too bad it doesn't get attention.
>>13572459
D-Hell and God move just as slow as other Gundams, but they have head vulcans for ranged attack, but they're really shit. God is kind of a shitty unit outside boss fights, but D-Hell is a lot of fun because it can throw its scythe.
Was R really that bad? Is it even worth playing if you can find it for $20?
>>13572490
Maybe $10 or lessand this is coming from the dumbass that bought the game new when it came out
>>13572490
I went in blind never playing a ACE game. I got it because of Crossbone. It was a boring clunky piece of crap. if its $10 sure but anything higher than $15 is enter at own risk.
>>13572500
I'm in the same situation as you were then because I want to get it for Full Metal Panic and Macross Frontier, but mostly for FMP.
Fuck these teleporting bitches
>he doesn't play as Macross units exclusively with flight stick
>>13572432
Who the fuck thought Tension was a good mechanic to force on everyone? It might have been okay on one or two specific units, but fuck.
>>13575465
Should've been exclusive to Aquarion and maybe Arbalest, to be honest.
Doesn't really work with the Macross folks and some of the Gundams. The only Gundams it makes sense for are the SEED trio.
>>13570578
>>13570573

To this day, I don't remember anything about ACE 3's plot. And I know japanese. I only rememer Barrel (or whatever way you romanize it) was the main character. I don't even know the operator's name.
ACE 2 had a more memorable OG storyline, even if because the licensed series stages are also more memorable (that Poseidal stage).
>>13572438
ACE R has a unskippable 15-minute sequence right before the final battle.

Behemoth fight the FIRST TIME in R. R was great with a lot of things the first time through. Then you realized you couldn't skip shit and had to play through the same shit 20+ times because each prologue and like, the next 2 missions counted as different for completion %.
There's something I've been wondering about for a long time after seeing it for the first time.
This video of ACE gameplay, at about 7 min 58s. How on earth did that music get there?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5cj5rkJBmg&t=7m58s
Was it in the actual game? Was someone at Fromsoft just a massive nerd?
>>13575673
The actual game allows you to use custom BGMs
>>13575688
Which was one thing they got very right. Not enough PS3 games did it, even though there clearly was the potential.
My favorite moment in ACE2 is when Amuro descending in Re-GZ and Gato is all like "Amuro Ray? The White Devil!?"

Honestly, R wasn't the worst ACE game since ACE1 exists. Sure, it did a lot of things wrong and in no way worth it's full price. But I feel that it doesn't deserve the amount of hate it gets here and is worthy of one or two playthroughs with you favorite mech (just don't pick SRW OG for your first time because of that escort mission).
Portable is a missed opportunity. It has great roster, introduces badass modification of Gespents, returns to the old mechanics, but lack of story makes it kind of pointless. Though co-op in that one was fun.
And even though I called ACE1 the worst in the series, that game's opening cinematics and song "Garnet Moon" are the best.

>>13577347
By chance did you ever PLAY ACE1? It was fucking horrible, man. Especially coming from From Software who we already knew could do better.
>>13572810
For FMP you really have no choice I suppose but if you're looking for your jets with legs fix, get Macross 30
>>13577819
ACE1 does not have that fucking stupid tension system, unskippable cutscenes or terrible collisions. It also has the best pilot intros.
>>13577921
ACE 1 instead has unresponsive controls, shit enemy density, some of the worst balance in the series on the whole (Units all over the place rather than roughly equal effectiveness with a few outliers) and no reload at all for certain weapons. That's ass.
>>13577962
>and no reload at all for certain weapons.
Which ones?
In ACE 2 and 3 the reaction warheads never reload.
>>13577977
There's a difference between huge aoe fuck everythings not reloading and standard missiles.
>>13570538
When Dark Souls and other related games becomes unprofitable. Which is not anytime soon.
>>13577962
>ACE 1 instead has unresponsive controls
Never encountered this through my playthrough
>shit enemy density
Wut?
>some of the worst balance in the series on the whole
The only installment that's remotely balanced is ACE3, ACE 1 is nowhere near as fucked as ACER in terms of balance.
>and no reload at all for certain weapons.
git gud
None of that is nearly as bad and unplayable as ACER
>>13578248
>The only installment that's remotely balanced is ACE3
So did you just skip 2 or what?
>>13578431
>2
>Balanced
Buster Ark and Falken MAFFU completely ruined that
>>13579352
>Buster Ark
You get that shit near the very end of the game. And comparatively speaking, it's garbage. Brains will fuck shit up more than that will.
>Falguen MAFFU
I don't remember this unit even appearing in the game, but I've never watched Dragonar, either.
Gundam Unicorn game in PS3 has the similar control scheme and feel of ACE games. Using R1 and R2 to change height, and L1 as shift button to change active weapons. It also add cool stuff like melee counter, selectable firing modes, and cover system (to hide behind an asteroid, useless but cool).
It has some twists though, the weapon and energy for dash won't replenish by itself, only by taking supplies scattered around the map.
And unfortunately the game is DLC-fest, with only covering episode 1-3 of the OVA.

Gee, too bad no action game with those two exists, eh? And too bad that, if an action game did exist with them, it didn't get a much improved sequel, also with them, eh? (also, point of order, Shin Getter is as large as Combattler in every mode but 3 and Aquarion is IIRC the same size so.)
>>13580646
Falguen's the purple Dragonar mech without shoulder cannons.
>>13580916
There's a lot of shit in the game you don't notice the first time like how you can do Amuro's backflip bazooka shot and it's so good.
>>13570538
>>13578175
I'd be okay with Bloodborne 2 or even a proper Demon's Souls sequel. But yeah, Souls is the "hot" shit since Dark Souls and we aren't going to see ACE or AC games any time soon.
>>13567062
>Favorite game
2 because of its variable mission and launch sequence. 3 has more fun units but the mission objectives are boring.
Storywise, I like 3 more because 2 is goddamn underwhelming in the end.
>Favorite unit
Nirvash, Tallgeese and YF-19
>Favorite song
3's OP
>Favorite boss fight
I dunno. But I really like that indoor stage in 2.
Portable might not even as shitty as R but it's goddamn cheap. It even reuse R's logo.
>>13580978
Really doesn't help the R tainted the brand. Especially given that there was a disconnect between reviewers and consumers.
>>13581493
Weren't the sales of R the best in the franchise? Or was there a lot of returns like FFXIII? Granted ACE wasn't as well known as SRW but seems kinda weird to abandon the brand after one abysmal title especially with still strong interest in mecha games. Guess the Dark Souls movie is just too good.
>00 never got in to a ACE title
Feels weird man.
>>13581571
>Portable
Is 00 in Portable?

According to Wikipedia ACE R sold 245,301 units. If the numbers are accurate, then it would be the second best selling ACE title. However even with that the consumer reaction to the game was bad, and by the end of the year they were already being sold at huge discounts and clearance bags.
Also ACE P was met with barely any reception, and if VGchartz is to be believed it only sold around 120,000 units which while it's not bad it received middling to bad reviews.

Neue Ziel in 2 because it's hilarious and anything from the CCA finale in 3, it's loads of fun.
Also honorable mentions to Ru Cain and Ange for their V-Max fun.
Shinku is the best song, while we're at it.

What's the song that plays in Portable when you're playing as Nirvash? I don't recognize it.
>>13601412
Portable uses the E7 movie, same as Z2 around that time, so it's a track from that. Otoko no...something, I forget.
>>13602145
Woah, seriously? It's so bland and generic, I thought it was part of Portable's soundtrack.So is Renton the AU Renton from the movie?
>>13601412
Why did Portable have a better unit selection than R?
>>13606227
because they they favored bringing back old series.
>>13601412
>>13602145
Otoko no Tatakai.
I think it was pretty good. Nothing beats Storywriter, though.
What's with the hate for ACE R? I have just bought it, and find it enjoyable.
>>13606551
tension, boost system, pilot stats, clunky, missions.
>>13606568
Well,I can see why the pilot stats are annoying, and having to grind to get them all to max level. But that is not the first mech game to do that. Ups the 'replay' value.
>>13606619
not much replay value when all there is are 3 different missions in the beginning and unlocking all the secrets through multiple playthroughs. At least with upgrading you can conserve points to use later but with pilot stats you're forced to grind that shit for everything and it's tedious.
>>13606619
The replay value of ACE R is -999 because of that fucking no skip movie.
