Man, I can't wait for Bamco to say at least SOMETHING about AC7. I'm starting to get bluewalleted here.

I'm currently working on the hangar and customization screen. I don't really have a proper roadmap layout due to the frantic nature of 1 man dev team. But after that I'll do a major overhaul of the game systems to accommodate for cutscenes and mission scripting.

A very overlooked, yet one of the best, parts of AC. Will it have kickin' music ?

It gets annoying though.

>>137035174
I hope you realize you're making the PC version of Ace Combat 7 at this point.
Think you can release it before Bamco releases theirs? So you can spam their inbox with"TOO FAST FOR YOU, ANTARES?"

Oh please do that. I would try out for a voice roll. I got a fancy mic and everything.

Nah, doesn't really seem like the best idea.
>>137036915
I mean, Aces are anons, so doing that faces of /aceg/ is a no go, but having us do a voiceover of the game sounds fun.
Only problem is mics though, all I have is this shitty laptop's built in mic.I can just say it's radio static noise and call it a day.
>>137037352
He should come to those of us with good mics though. Been a while since I did voice shit and I'd like to try it again.
>>137037660
Or maybe anons should try to record something and send it in here, so our dev can choose what he wants.

>>137037352
Mic quality isn't really a concern unless you've got a super terrible mic that makes you less audible than a lawnmower. Because if your mic is not the best quality I can just assign you on the general chatter dialog which will have the audio distorted anyway due to radio static.
>>137036378

>>137004245
Realtalk tho, /pol/ just wants to invade/nuke every sandnigger country because they don't fucking understand politics or history. In current year nobody sticks around /pol/ because they are highly intelligent or want to learn more about the world. It's by and large filled with NEETsocs and bitter virgins who flock to white supremacy because they are insecure about their own accomplishments and are emotionally addicted to an ideology that tells them they have worth and value when no one else does. They love the idea of thinking of themselves as superior to other people because in everyday life almost everyone they meet is superior to them. They're constantly humiliated and emasculated. The values of the culture they grew up with tells them they are worthless and will never amount to anything, so instead of shaping the fuck up they reject that culture and run into the arms of a radically different one that tells them they are secretly superior to others just for being white.
/pol/ was never actually interested in the mechanics or fine details of politics and history, for them it's all about emotional fulfillment and a sense of identity.That's why /pol/ loves Trump so much.

I haven't played AC6 yet. What memes am I missing out on?
Weird. My PS3 went to the title screen after installing the update. I entered the game just out of habit and it said "Lost communication with the ACE COMBAT INFINITY server" instead of talking about maintenance like it used to. How long has that been a thing?
>>137041194

Bamco on official Twitter account said that it can even freeze your PS3, as there is some bug, apparently so be careful.

Dancing with angelsit's a pretty fun game regardless of story, some of the the best (if not the best) gameplay in the series familia
>>137041164
Dancing with the angels. That's it.
AC6 has great gameplay though. Honestly, it really improves on the PS2 trilogy instead of being a carbon copy. It's everything a next gen AC should have been, just on the wrong platform. Best graphics in the series to date too, even though it's almost 10 years old it's way better than AH and Infinity.
The story is undeniably awful but no worse that AC5's. Everyone in AC6's story is really irritating, just like AC5, but it doesn't have those awful little nipple twists of plot details like AC5 does. There's no terrible shifts in tone like fighting the Yukes vs. fighting Belka, and the story is fairly straightforward and lacks AC5's obvious Frodos, even if it sucks.
Plus most of the terrible dialogue in AC6 comes from your wingman and people in cutscenes. Most of the other military embers you hear in-mission sound just fine, unlike AC5 where every mission's dialogue in burned into your brain like the sight of your blind date's morbidly obese and STD-ravaged genitalia.

Did AC5 fox two your dog and bomb your house or something buddy
>>137042884
AC5 and AC6 easily have the most comparable stories in the series though. A lot of people say AC6 is terrible and no one should play it because of the story, but the story is no worse than AC5's, and many people here enjoyed AC5 in spite of that, myself included. The whole point is that if you can stomach AC5 and appreciate it for the gameplay, you can do the same for AC6.

Other than smoke trails, I disagree with that. AH on PC looks better.

It did, actually. Some incoherently angry dude in a car was going all "SHUT UP MARCUS SHUT THE FUCK UP" and ended up crashing into my house. I saw all that when coming back from school, the crash killed my doge and my family.
Now I'm working in this shitty ass bar to pay rent.
>>137044212
Was the guy in the car shot by missles launched by a Flanker before crashing into the house?The same house where your family lived?
>>137044434
Well, I saw this weird yellow VW Beetle, only the underside was fully painted though, are those called Flankers there in Ose- I mean, America ? Anyways, the Beetle bumped the back of the car, making it lose control.
Afterwards it circled around to check out the crash, then it went away.
>>137044965
Did the beetle circle around the crash area for a while to confirm the kill before leaving?

>>137045168
Yes. I have a strange feeling that Beetle's driver can play the guitar just like my dad did. Too bad my uncle can't do either, after that crash he stop driving his cab and is drinking like a sailor, maybe he's afraid of dying in a car accident ? Or maybe it's because the gas station closest to home simply shut down ?

One or the other bub. Maybe PJ was just really shit at dodging?
So, I was joking about the Gundam statue in Tokyo maps last thread, but I went to check and I'm almost sure it's located in that area near the ferris wheel where a shitload of AD Tanks spawn in the game.
Can anyone confirm?
>>137048912
>>tries to kill you
Okay, there is no denying a hit from an MPBM is potentially lethal, but he knows egress systems are a thing, he probably just wanted to have one last fight.
>>Kills PJ
My headcanon > everything
What really bothers me about him is the fact that he was willing to launch a MIRV into Razgriz knows where to make sure to get his point across. I sure wish that V2 was aimed at buttfuck nowhere just to make threats to the world, but seeing how much effort AWWNB put into protecting it, and how they had no remorse in bombing Lumen, I know this is just wishful thinking.

Is this for real? It seems too stupid to be legitimate but it's an odd choice for bait. Is there virtually anything in Pixy's conduct that implied he was not trying to kill you? Not only does he never say anything of the sort but he can actually shoot you down. I know even on Ace ACZ isn't really that difficult but if he does get you it's not like he goes <<Oops, sorry buddy, this was all just a big practical joke. I didn't mean to actually hit you, my bad.>> He deserted the Ustio AF and fried PJ, he clearly meant business.
>he was willing to launch a MIRV into Razgriz knows where to make sure to get his point across
He wasn't trying to "make a point." V2 wasn't a mean to an end, it WAS the end. The whole rationale was to destroy the powers that be and let something new be built on it's ashes. To "reset" the game from "zero." Pixy wasn't just disillusioned to the point of criticizing the system, he far enough gone he was willing to betray his comrades, fry PJ, try to kill you and nuke the world. That's what makes his relationship with Cipher so tragic and makes the "thanks, friend" line so meaningful.
Here's the logs from session 2.5
Keep in mind that everyone seemed to be having fun before you judge anyone too harshly.

>>137051351
The time it'd take for rescue teams to find his crash site, search the area for him, fail, come back to inform his gf, and for her to go all the way from home to put flowers on his crash site is long enough to pretty much confirm that he was never found, not even by locals, which can only mean that he's dead and gone.
Sorry, Anon.

>>137051757
H-he did at least redeem himself when he went on to become an ISAF fighter, right ? RIGHT ?!
Okay though, I guess it it pretty stupid that after all those V2 launch jigaboos, he went to fight for borders on a completely unrelated continent.
>>137052523
I think it's been too long since you replayed the game, buddy. His reconsideration of borders and their meaning was the result of your fight. Realizing that maybe he was wrong and wanting to learn more about the world he tried to destroy IS his redemption. It's legitimate character development and part of what makes ACZ so great.
>>137052047
This whole locals thign makes me think : didn't Pixy get help from the locals ? I wonder, how did he get to the Usean continent ? I mean, by this point, he probably had a price on his head as a war criminal or something, leaving Belka should be damn near impossible. And then, he even went and joined a foreign military. How the fuck did Brett locate him to begin with ?
>>137052424
>3 way tie for 2nd.
I'll get set up to stream once there's a clear 2nd place.
Spec ops will be on saturday night.
>>137053043
Actually lots of belligerents from the Belkan War found work on the Usean continent. More than a few Assault Records aces are mentioned as having fought there, Belkan scientists are mentioned as having contributed to Stonehenge in the same records, that guy from Beast Squadron in AHL is from Belka, plus Pixy. There's also a Yuke Ace in ACZ with a paintscheme that's exactly identical to Y13's that has "no information available." Details like these are part of the reason people theorize that Cipher, Scarface, and Mobius 1 are the same person.
>>137049170
N.gen is a pretty fun game, if a bit repetitive. Used my capture card to compile the plane list.

>He doesn't have all assault records.
>>137053608
Man, I forgot how great Zero's assault records were. I liked the idea from 6 of having ones for both allies and enemies but there were just way too few entries. Plus 6 is the "current year" when played instead of the past, and since you can't really look too far into the future it mostly just talks about past conflicts. That's all fine and dandy but we don't really know anything about Estovakia's civil war so when it talks about the different factions and stuff we have no way to relate to it. ACZ's records talked about how the people fit into a world we already knew, but we don't understand the various factions behind the civil war and they're never explained to us. The records could have been interesting if they were explained to us, but they're not, so they're just confusing and meaningless.

I can just see an interview with some Osean college student in AC7.
>Oh my god it's CURRENT YEAR people! Why are people still allowed to say Belka started the Belkan War? Like, don't start, I just can't even. Pick up a history book some time and educate yourself you cretin. Don't you know it was only Osea's selfish capitalist expansion that forced the Belkans to invade? I think we all know who the REAL bad guys are here. Osea's occupation of South Belka (which some war-mongering bigots offensively call "North Osea") is completely unlawful and violates every known standard of human decency. The only way we can have peace in this world is for Osea to step down by returning Belka's rightful lands back to it and by disarming it's provocative and war-facilitating military. The Belkans can't live in peace with us until we show them we mean them no harm.

>>137060237
Yeah, probably too much work for bamco, unfortunately.
Still, it'd be cool if they make the B7R hard map all desolate and cloudy like it was in Zero after Belka dropped the bomb.
This game is a 10/10 belgian point blank face shooting simulator.
Strangereal /pol/ when?
>>137051757
He keeps saying << Try again from head-on. >> if you miss the jousts.
I think some part of him knew he was in the wrong and wanted to be stopped. But to say he wasn't trying to kill Cipher is wrong, they were both putting everything on the line.
>>137062241
Not a bad analysis but I think <<Try again from head-on!>> was more of a general taunt. Kind of like "Hit me motherfucker" or "Is that the best you got?"
With that said ACZ was written natively in Japanese and some of those more uniquely Japanese lines can't accurately be translated into English, and attempts to try sometimes confuse meanings more than they clarify them. "Here comes the snow" is apparently more along the lines of "it's snowing" in Japanese and is supposed to be some kind of artsy observation about the situation at hand.
>>137053761
>>137053975
>Capture card
So can you stream this or what?
Remind me again why bamco always releases the trailer a couple hours after the update hits when the whole point of a trailer would be to hype people up for what's to come? Once it's live people can just log in and see, and new people don't care because it's all part of the package they get when they install the game from that point on.
It'd be way more effective to release it once maintenance starts and get people pumped up and discussing things. I know Bamco ain't the sharpest tool in the shed but come on, that's pretty obvious.

Mecha anime is almost inevitably shit because these 3 things always happen:
1. The only people who manage to join the army are pacifists who hate war and will complain about its injustice for the entire fucking show. If you're an ace pilot (as most protags are) this involves whining about how awful war is while mowing down enemies by the thousands and doing nothing to change your situation.
2. If you don't fall into the above category you are inevitably an open warmonger who laughs while gunning down women and children. Even those these types are one-dimensional and irredeemable bastards, the fact that they attack and destroy the protag’s homeland and kill innocents with no remorse doesn’t seem to engender much rage or desire for revenge in the protag, because he’s more concerned with making sure everyone knows how awful he thinks war is and how both sides are wrong. Stopping the villain to save more lives never seems to occur to him either.
3. The show tries to paint itself as a serious and nuanced critique of war despite the fact that everyone is written as ludicrously one-dimensional and the kinds of things that happen within the show never happen in real life. Hitler was a bastard but he didn’t gas Jews just because he was evil and that’s what those damn war-mongers do. Hitler’s treatment of the Jews was based out of hundreds of years of ethnic tensions and was provoked by Germany’s disproportionate (in comparison to other central powers) and extremely harsh treatment in the wake of WWI. There were legitimate REASONS behind Hitler’s action and if you wanted to critique war you’d show that both sides have reasons to think they are right. That never happens because Japs are a race of autists and hate new things.
There are exceptions to the rules above but /m/ and its Japanese equivalent always hates these shows because reasons. Code Geass and TTGL are two examples of this.

>>137071190
Gurren Lagann is just an homage to classic super robot shows like Getter and Mazinger. Which, by the way, don't fall into those categories you listed.
>>137071190
1 describes Nagase or anyone Wardog, really, also all those people in the stadium and president Harling
2 describes Hamilton, as a gullible pilot, he was treated as an evil warmongerer who couldn't keep his cool. I guess the part of"kill innocents with no remorse" goes to Belka's 1892.
3 is pretty much AC5.
Damn son, was AC5 just a really bad mecha anime turned into a game ? I mean, it was fun and all, but it always bothered me how Osea and Yuktobania were all the bullied and peaceful guys, and the Belkans were the I AM SILLY tier guys. Same critique applies to AC6 to some extent.
>>137071382
/m/ thinks Code Geass "Isn't really mecha" because it's a mash up of many other genres and primary emphasis is placed on politics and character drama, not mecha action.
Much like /a/, /m/ hates TTGL because it's filled with butthhurt Getterfags who don't like that TTGL is way more popular in Japan and elsewhere despite just being a homage to earlier super robot shows.
>>137071510
As I said, "almost" inevitably. There are good shows out there. But mecha has a disproportionate amount of shit nuggets in a medium that already isn't known for a high volume of quality works. Also, can you name a significant Super Robot show in the last 10 years besides Gurren Lagann? New works are mostly Real Robot shows that fall guilty to the above.
>>137071798
AC5 had some fun moments but yeah, most of the bad points are shared with the worst of Mecha anime.
>>137072174
everyone hates TTGL because its so goddamn overrated, and the fanbase is obnoxious.
>>137072174

You know, I always liked Macross because it has some pretty kickin' fighter and all.

Man, now i wanna see those two franchises working together with AC to make a superplane no belkan could surpass.

Diebuster and Aquarion certainly fit the bill though, I was wrong there.
With that said the existence of exceptions doesn't mean there are no rules. Way too many mecha anime fall prey to those 3 problems.
Even ones that do follow those conventions can still be fun, but these ideas are used way too often. Once is irritating enough, so many times is even worse. You don't see repetition of themes and archetypes to this extent in movies or live-action television.
>>137073172
>Remember the golden rule. It applys to animu, vidya, or pretty much anything. Just have fun with it.
Yeah, not a bad idea. I let my autism get the best of me. It's just I never seem to hear this from anyone else. It's not that people like it, they just seem obvious to it.
>all this mecha talk while absent
Well, go watch Votoms. Whatever.
Shit, I just realized AC prepared me for mecha. But seriously, Code Geass' mechs are shit and that show is the single most cliched, one dimensional anime I've ever seen.

For the amount I watched, I really loved that thing. Too bad I stopped halfway.Also what kind of name is Chirico anyways, is he like Chico from Peace Walker but grown up with dyke hair ?
Since when did /aceg/ become /m/?
What's the worst you've watched anyway? My vote goes toValvrave. It was gloriously horrible.
Like Airforce Delta Strike.
How could I forget patlabor, It's a wonderful mecha
>>137074694
Hmm ? I thought /aceg/ liked Airforce Delta because it's like AC in space with lolis, but what do I know.
>>137074694
I don't watch much mecha, but I've liked almost all the ones I have watched.
I even liked Total Eclipse.
>>137074567
Go and finish it, now. I can't stress how much I love Votoms, not only for the crazy action and disregard for property and human lives, but how it's actually a story about PTSD and tackling Nietzsche figurativelyonly to become quite literally the ubermensch analogy
And Dougram is even better.
Also,There's an artist IRL named like him, but it's spelled differently

I-I was watched it with them too.
You guys were all fun.
Goddamn maintenance you were supposed to be done TWO WHOLE MINUTES ago
>>137074937
Well, funnily enough, both Votoms and Dougram are still in my "To watch" backlog, but anyone who's ever watched anime knows how well THAT works. I've piled up too much now I can't keep up.
>>137075357
1 hour left. They must have forgotten DST is a thing.
>>137075357
I figured out the problem. Japan doesn't recognize DST, so it won't be back up for another hour.
Notice on the maintenance notice that it lists PST instead of PDT.
>>137075515
Make sure to do so, especially Dougram. It takes a while to get things going, but they make an amazing work with those 70+ episodes. There's no filler and every single little thing has a meaning for later events.
If only Kanda didn't die in that cursed crash. Anime would be better nowadays.
>>137075332

Nigger what are you smoking? Code Geass's mecha action is actually good (at least in season 1) because
>They exist within the context of an actual war surrounded by other elements such as tanks and artillery instead of everyone just spamming Mecha/mobile armor rips offs
>Instead of just flying around at the speed of sound like every other mecha they focus on ground combat and tactics involving terrain
>The roller skate gimmick (yes, it's been done by other shows before, but it has an enjoyable take on it) is used to create energetic, fast-paced fight scenes that are fun to watch (Gurren versus Lancelot at Narita is a great example of this)
Like most of what makes Code Geass great it goes out the window in R2 but even there it's just like my Gundams except exclusively fought in the planet's atmosphere.
Also, I know Code Geass isn't exactly the height of depth and subtlety in storywriting but it's definitely less cliched than most other anime. The whole Amuro/Char swap is fun and following Lelouch as a character was refreshing because instead of being indecisive and passive he was highly motivated and acted on the world around him. Code Geass wasn't a story about things happening to Lelouch, it was about Lelouch actively going out there and doing things, as opposed to a protag hating fighting and piloting a mecha but getting in anyway because plot. Lelouch wasn't thrown into a conflict he hated and reluctantly fought, he created one because he needed it for his master plan.
The lackluster story of the Akito OVAs really highlights how central Lelouch was to the success of the original series.
>>137075221
if the world froze in 1998 would literally anyone be mad, discount the fact that the holy trilogy hasn't released yet

>Succubus (Sumerian mythology, Akkadian mythology, Jewish folklore, Christian demonology) Pic A succubus is a female demon or supernatural entity in folklore (traced back to medieval legend) that appears in dreams and takes the form of a woman in order to seduce men, usually through sexual activity. a succubus may or may not appear in dreams and is often depicted as a highly attractive seductress or enchantress; Those in bondage can be free.
>Incubus (Christian demonology, Chaldean mythology, Jewish folklore) Pic A demon who has sex with woman at night and sometimes during the day. Another effect these spirits have on people is causing overwhelming sexual urges in the body. This class of demon is also responsible for sex dreams: those are dreams during which you are engaged in sexual contact or intercourse, or dreams in which your body has a spontaneous orgasm. And one much less obvious manifestation is nightmares – realistic, graphic, heart-stopping nightmares that rob you of sleep and make you awake frightened.
Even jews have got dreams covered.
