I have it, you had to pre-order Ace Combat 7. It also came with the EU Collectors Edition but recent reports seem to show they stopped giving AC5 with it now. Sorry.

Now I'm reminded of the bullshit that Amazon tried pulling with my pre-order. :csdmad:

Would you all say 7 is a good point to jump in? I also recently saw Top Gun and wanted to play a flight game and this looked pretty good. I also heard it's on the more difficult side though so just curious.

Yeah, although mainly due to its availability compared to games on previous platforms. 7 is fairly self-referencing in regards to previous plot points in the series, and compared to previous games enemies can be considerably more aggressive.

It's absolutely a good place to get into the series. The stories are more or less self contained in each game.

Yup, I'd say it's a great place to jump in too. You can always adjust the difficulty if it's too hard, but I don't think normal mode is too hard.

Don't forget zero, as it's a prequal to 5, but numbered weirdly. To clarify, I meant to play that one, not skip it. Should probably do it after 5, tbh.

Oh right zero is incredible. I still say it has the best soundtrack of the series. The way they mix flamenco with clasisc ace combat brass and vocals was incredible

The platforms have a "base" target. Two lagm missiles will collapse the whole platform. You gotta find the base target sandwiched under the platform. It's tough to get it to lock onto that one specific thing with so many other targets on screen.
I've seen YouTube videos of someone knocking out all the platforms at once with a laser weapon. But I couldn't get a single one with lasers.

I would actually put 4, 5 and 7 as the top 3 of the series. 6 has a... not so great story. But I will say that 6 has my favorite opening mission in the series. I love the moment when you see all of your fighters in formation and the squads start breaking off one by one.

yep, it's fun to sit thousands of "units" off from the platform when they're barely visibile and one shot railgun the cores. THat mission becomes a cakewalk once you know where to target and is one of the best missions to grind credits for unlocks

You don't play as the girl at all. You just play as Trigger, who is a pilot for Osea. The story just kinda tells the story from her point of view.......for some reason.

You can also just slam a LASM, LAGM, or bombs with blast radius parts into the very center of the top of the platform and the damage will extend down into the base.

It depends on the person. I know plenty of people on the forums here, and on reddit, actually do care about the story. Case in point the quote that @pogo_rabid said to Imit8m3 (post #69) was from the story in AC6.

And of course, there are people that just play the games to shoot things. Nothing wrong with enjoying the games that way either.

I'll take your word for it. I never played the PSP games. The game you're thinking of though, is probably X. Zero was a PS2 game.

Once you get good at it, you'll be able to clear the entire fleet, and both groups of platforms, and mop the mission up with a few air to air kills with the allotted time.

Don't forget to cross back over the southern border to refill ammo and fix damage.
It takes time, but it's the only way to get S ranks in my experience. Use up all your special missiles and immediately turn south and resupply.

And yeah, you're right I mixed up the names. It was assault horizon I was thinking of.

Different missions have different requirements. The mission in question is forced to go the full time. You can't end it early by shooting all the required targets. So the rank in that particular mission is strictly dependent on points score.

After playing a few missions with the darkstar from the new dlc, holy shit is it fun. It's so goddamn fast you bascially just zip across the map doing strafing runs at 5000 units per hour. You can outrun anything, including missiles including "unavoidable" ones from one particular mission.
