I'll cop this for like $30 or less if reviews look good enough.

I've only liked Ace Combat enough to rent or download for free :manny:

This game is really good. I bought it not knowing if I'd like it. Legit havent played Ace Combat since an Ace Combat 2 demo disc for PS1.

Its challenging but rewarding. Level design is really well thought out. Its not just a kill everything game. You need some strategy to go with your flying skills. Load out for missions also matters. Radio chatter is actually useful in missions. Visual cues are important. The cloud and weather shyt is not just for show, gameplay implications exist throughout. You will fail some missions and the game can be punishing with its checkpoint system (or lack thereof). Retry from checkpoint often means "you're starting from the beginning chump." Only time you actually get a checkpoint is if there is a big cutscene somewhere during the mission. Otherwise you are playing 20+ minute missions with 0 checkpoints. One mission even took me around 45 minutes to complete, that one did have 1 checkpoint though. Dying can be frustrating but figuring out the problem and completing the stages is rewarding.

Saying this after I completed the first 12 missions.

Story makes no sense but maybe it will come together later? I dont know. TBH I wouldnt even care since the gameplay itself is great.

Also one major thing that western journalists are getting blown up over is the control scheme. Standard and Expert are the choices, but they were named wrong IMO. It should be Novice and Standard. Calling the base controls expert scare off players and journalists thinking its some next level shyt, but no, its just the standard controls. If you pick this up put it on expert controls immediately. This isnt some elite gamer shyt, expert is legit the normal control scheme. Novice limits you greatly and takes away a lot of the fun. I played the first 2 missions with "standard" controls and it was wack. Turned on expert and replayed those missions and had a lot more fun and did way better.

Feels like I got robbed on the season pass. And is there any way not to blow ol Harling ass away? Multiplayer is nice though. Wish I could have shot down some of the cowards I flew with. Mf basically ran the whole time and didn’t shoot shyt. Oh, I shot down a few F22s with a basic jet lmao them mf was madddddd

HAWWWWWW I got the ultimate troll for this game! :russ: If you want to gain MP and money just go to multiplayer and search. Look for games in progress and battle royal, or team. Join games in progress and you sometimes get dropped in behind aces and shyt. Stuff two hot ones up their asses and you can get up to rank 3. The higher the player the more money you get. Do it on unlimited games in progress and shove some hot ones up those highend MF planes asses. :lolbron: THey be like WTF! Who shot me down and it's me in my lowly Mig 21bis Fishbed lol:mjlol: They be running from other players and not watching me as yep, two hot ones get crammed in their asses :francis: Then I come out and be like :blessed: byyyyyeeee bytchesss!:martin:
