[razgriz786]

what song does the orchestra play at 3:01??

[JOEmega64]

@razgriz786 Launch.

[ActiveG4m3r1]

I like that they went realistic but damn the DFM and the lack of content.

[ActiveG4m3r1]

The fucking ground missions suck major ass.I don't need a fucking guide to show me where the targets are at.

[JOEmega64]

@ActiveG4m3r1 You don't HAVE to use them. lol. 

[ActiveG4m3r1]

Bring back the Aircraft family tree's and the 30 missions that we grew to love.

[JOEmega64]

This game is roughly as long as AC5.. the missions are pretty lengthy, rather than having a lot of short ones. But I do agree that the Aircraft family trees were pretty sweet!

[yowza234]

@BlazingAngelzzz yeah ikr but it kinda adds the unrealism of exaggerated intensity to make it fun.. i foumd it fun myself

[BlazingAngelzzz]

I find DFM to be cheap... I'd rather have traditional dogfighting....

[JOEmega64]

@BlazingAngelzzz I'm sorry, but I can't stand comments like this. Do you really think the "Dogfighting" of previous Ace Combats is anything but chasing planes that fly aimlessly and half-heartedly shoot missiles at you? This game does what you always imagined you were doing in previous entries.

[BlazingAngelzzz]

@JOEmega64 It's nothing special the game is mostly flying the plan for yourself and all u have to do is keep the enemy aircraft in the circle...

[JOEmega64]

@BlazingAngelzzz I am going to ask you a serious question: Do you own Assault Horizon? Because right now, it's pretty clear that you don't. Also, it can be easily argued that all's you do in the older entries is fly around and wait for a lock on and push the missile button.

[BlazingAngelzzz]

@JOEmega64 Why would I even be talking to you if i didn't have it?? People don't know this but Ace Combat was a dieing franchise, it might have lost some hardcore fans but SOMETHING needed to be added or changed. And the DFM mode is obviously scripted, so your point on waiting for a lock and push the missile button can be easily argued, in which its a fuel pumped action sequence where only the player controls a part of the airplane and is following the enemy jet like a puppy follows its owner.

[JOEmega64]

@BlazingAngelzzz Trust me, I know Ace Combat was a dying franchise. I'm not one of the purist fanboys that live in la-la land. I approved of the change in formula the first time I saw the trailer for Assault Horizon. I embraced the change. And yet again, your ignorance shows: DFM is NOT entirely sripted. TGT_Leads are scripted (but can be shot down with regular means). But regular DFM is NOT. Think of your plane as elastically attached to the enemy plane. It pulls you along, but if you veer -

[JOEmega64]

- or if he breaks hard it's easily gone, not to mention the fact he can counter-maneuver quite easily on the non baby difficulties. You are 'slightly' on rails, but it's not intrusive as you still have absolute control of your plane (especially on 'original' controls.) Playing online is a whole 'nother matter. Human players are ruthless, slamming their pursuers into the ground. Trust me, I love the changes. Ace needed it bad, and trust me, DFM is nowhere near as scripted/onrails as people think.

[BlazingAngelzzz]

@JOEmega64 Then don't go around and say your a true Ace Combat fan to anyone then when I see your one of those casual gamers. This game is more like a sideline, So this technically is not Ace Combat 7. Your arguing over the internet is pointless when Namco now is taking the series a giant nose dive. ( And obvious quotes from Wikipedia taken )

[JOEmega64]

@BlazingAngelzzz LOL! Is that the BEST defense you have!? I had to get my opinions from wikipedia? Wow, you're a moron. hahahaha. What part of dying franchise don't you understand? It was already in a nose dive, and they are trying to pull it up from crashing. I am indeed a true Ace Combat fan, but I have the little-known and understood ability to take off my fucking nostalgia glasses and see the truth. There is NOTHING casual about AH, and you'd know that if you played on Elite or Ace.

[JOEmega64]

@BlazingAngelzzz I'm only arguing to defend something that is being wrongly torn apart by arrogant purists. I am well aware this isn't "Ace Combat 7," and there won't BE another Ace Combat PERIOD if this AH fails. I am not a "casual gamer" by any means (And let's not even get into the furball of derp 'hardcore gaming,' as that is for dickheads only) And... I can argue with whomever I'd like, internet or not:) P.S. - Blazing Angels is a pretty good game.

[BlazingAngelzzz]

@JOEmega64 Well it didn't fail and both fans like like it and hate it. Anyone can try to point out opinions and try to argue them about something. Since i see the comments full of your numerous replies, I'll let u go back on " defending your point " to other people. Have a nice day.

[hassaan1424]

great job ace combat, after zero from ps2, this game has really uplifted the same feeling i had 5 years ago.

[MrJhaohh]

Modern warfare gets wings!!!!!!



[HendrickFan2488548]

This game is amazing if you have an open mind.... if you're expecting ace combat 7, you will be in for a rude awakening.

Campaign is a little short/cheesy but online is great.

[Razgriz383]

@HendrickFan2488548 If DFM wasn't so clingy and the aircraft so poorly balanced...I would TOTALLY agree with you

[HendrickFan2488548]

@Razgriz383 Ill agree DFM could be better, but it isnt game breaking like everyone made it to be pre release. Wouldnt know about plane balance.

Overall I give this game an 8.

[Kriegsmarine0]

EU guys, you will like this game, it may be more action oriented than the previous games but it still holds up.

[JOEmega64]

Can we all at least agree that the music was phenominal in this game? Thanks.

[ZaneHitsurugi]

@JOEmega64

Its really the only good thing about it

[JOEmega64]

@ZaneHitsurugi It really isn't.Sorry to break it to you buddy,but I'm pretty sure this is the best Ace Combat out there if you're not looking through Nostalgia glasses.Which I'm not. This game is incredibly fun, sharp, immersive as all Hell, exciting and even exhilarating. Went back and played 5. I was almost embarrassed by how much I used to like that game. Everything about AH has polish, from graphics to controls,writing and acting. Not to mention the gameplay. There was ACTUALLY "Ace Combat."

[ZaneHitsurugi]

@JOEmega64

First off, to say that this is the best one is a matter of opinion. The story was kinda boring to me, I prefer 4, 5, and 0's style alot better. There was no feeling of accomplishment for me at the end of the game. The characters werent really memorable, except for maybe Guts. The lack of enemy radio chatter, or interesting radio chatter took a little bit of the fun out of this for me. I'm not saying that its the worse in the series, but it certainly isn't the best.

[JOEmega64]

@ZaneHitsurugi You speak truth about opinions, friend. I will respectfully disagree with you on the storytelling, characters and enemy radio chatter. However, after playing on Elite, and then Ace, there is a BIG feeling of accomplishment at the end. Like beating an insanely hard NES game (Section Z comes to mind, or Death in Castlevania), and I also found the radio chatter to be quite excellent as it had a point and pushed the story along (not to mention is was authentic and not wishy-washy.)

[DarkFlame588]

If there's one thing this game did right, it's the music and visuals.

[RolfSAMA]

Nothing beats the Warsaw Filharmony Orchestra from Squadron Leader (Razgriz Theme) a small but very significant polish accent of the game - my home town orchestra BTW :)

[JOEmega64]

@RolfSAMA Not my hometown, but that's a fantastic orchestra.

[eltijuana23]

someone else doubt that the games are cultural

[01lawsda]

keiki kobayashi who did the soundtrack for AC5 and ACzero is doing soundtrack for assault horizon.... i hope it isas good as his other work!

[HunkeyPunk]

Take this for your 5.5 Gamespot. The Music alone beats your other Paidoff-Score Games 10 to 1.

[coldnexusfrontline]

not long before my pink su35 enters the world!

[TheDarkWingedAngel]

i bought the game today! ^^ In my favorite videogame shop, they accept to sell me the game before everyone ;)

[chrismanmk]

Northwest Sinfonia rock, they've done quite a few games soundtracks.

[leksoliverbeats]

*-----* -1 DAY !!!

[GALM1Cipher]

i would have liked to see a behind the game music of zero and 4. the guitars are amasing there (you can even hear the breathing of the guitar guy in ace combat 4)

[superlukko]

-1 day!
