How is Ace Combat for a newbie to flight sims? Like, is it super realistic or is it action-oriented? I may want to pick up the new one coming out for PS4.

And you consider that good, exactly way?

Reality is the exact opposite. No single soldier or pilot, no matter how elite, changed the outcome of a war

FEAR had lots of these little moments when you killed an entire enemy team safe for one panicking survivor

>its not even you

Jp 3 and 4 were the correct answers

Ace Combat is definitely an action game, not a flight sim. As for picking up the new one, I'd hold off on that for the time being if I were you. After Assault Horizon, I have almost no confidence in the series. Pick up any of the games on the PS2 and you're pretty much guaranteed to have a good time.

I just started Ace Combat Zero and this really bothered me. They introduce elite flyers that you get to shoot down like any other pilot in the same mission they're introduced, and then a few missions later it happens again. It doesn't feel as epic as dogfighting against the Yellows.

tfw grew up on Wii / DS / PC and PS4 is my only sony console

i'll take your advice and wait for reviews, though. and see if that PSVR version that may be coming out makes you puke

I would say it's pretty easy to pick up. Honestly in Ace Combat it's more important to know proper air combat maneuvering than the individual characteristics of a plane.

I'm making a multiplayer FPS. Your post makes me want to make it possible to hear enemy comms, but garbled so you get the general emotion of it but not the precise information.

Now how the fuck do I find a proper way to filter speech in real time without resorting to 60+ dollar software packages?

It seems like it might be a bit too much effort for a system that might just result in people using external chat programs.

Completed it with dual arsenic and dual railguns. It felt pretty fitting to be using them. Shame Old King always dies like a bitch, but he was rude till he was dying, so at this rate, I'd want to have an option to kill him too. I don't know if it's even possible to save him. But his thanks is appreciated.

It feels nice to be a complete monster of the battlefield.

The filler missions where you fly around not doing much don't help. It's still good, but ranks as the worst of the big three for me.

Spec Ops the Line didn't have a good story at all. But they did do a great job mixing the story into the gameplay.

It had a good story when you pretend the "you (the player) are bad for playing this" doesn't exist.

As a story of Walker's downfall into insanity is great.

The direction in this game for character development was fantastic.

FEAR has the most fleshed out enemies of any shooter I have played. Fuck, any game in general really. It doesn't rely on scripted pseudo-cutscenes to make you understand what they are supposed to be feeling or doing. The dialog and behavior are so well linked that it just happens.

It was so fucking self-aware too. The entire ending is built off the fact that you never stop to wonder WHY you are an unstoppable murderhobo.

...

I haven't been able to finish FEAR unfortunately. For some reason my graphics card doesn't switch out of its idle mode when I play, so the GPU caps at 300MHz while I stutter along at 20fps.

...

What game?

...

Sounds like Goldeneye.

That sounds wonderful.

I love this shit. I makes you feel legitimately badass after all the effort you put into getting to that point.

So, anyone gonna post porn of the guy in the OP?

wow, americans are all fatties and furfags, huh?

It's very much action-oriented. As an example, even the starting planes carry about 50 missiles that are equally effective against planes and ground targets. is right that it's more about maneuvers than knowing all the details of flying planes.

I also agree with >>10386480: Stick with the PS2 games and maybe AC6 for now. There's also a PC game called Vector Thrust that plays exactly like Ace Combat and is also very open to modding, but it still has a lot of problems and the modding community isn't very big yet. I'm having fun with it, but I'm also very frustrated that a game with such huge potential still has such a long way to go.

Sounds like you don't love freedom, amigo.

Agreed, AC6 was breddy gud.

Another thing Ace Combat does right.

More of a mix of games. Some elements are from GTA4, bleeding out from a gutshot was in Kane and Lynch.

I'll take any of the four. Depends on my mood.

I think the mission in the rain with the beach landing really sets your reputation with the ground forces.

"WE'LL BE OK! MOBIUS 1 IS HERE!"

F-22s can be annoying to use in Ace Combat because of their internal weapon bays, meaning there's a delay between when you press the fire button and when the gun/missile actually fires. It can be very inconvenient.

Best plane ever made.

Ace Combat is one of my favorite games, but it is not realistic in the slightest. Not even the ACM is very realistic.

So even someone who has never played a flying game before should be able to pick up an Ace Combat game easy enough.

I prefer this over being the dragonborn immediately. Gotta work for your respect.

Ace Combat Zero does this system much better, where you can pick between one or the other.

Knight route always best route.

Honor has defeated you…..

What?

>if you agree you get dunked on

I got Killzone Shadowfall for $5 without playing the old ones, and did they seriously commit 3 seperate holocausts on the Helghans? How are they the good guys?

liking shit* from halo 1

at first they call Master Chief solder by the end of the game they call him the "green Demon"

dude 90% sure that the guy at the end of shadwfall was giving a speech from Bush post 9/11

Move aside kiddos.

They are not. Even normalfags by a good majority know that you are playing as the bad guys.

I've never played an Ace Combat game before. What would be a good one to start with? This shit has me interested.

At least with Bush we didn't purposely put the Arabs in the fucking desert and steal their land. I mean, they commit something they themselves call "The Terracide", then they develop a weapon to eat their DNA.

What the fuck did the Helghan even do anyway?

HE'S TRYING TO FLANK

WE CAN'T HOLD HIM BACK

You auto reload your gun when it runs out of ammo, I realized how much I took this for granted when I played E.Y.E.

How are these?

If by all you mean literary 50%, then yes.

...

your playing as the US the only "good" war the US fought was WW2 the first game was the end of WW2. all of the other wars after that have been a mess. the end of KZ3 was nuking japan clearly.

they almost took over Vekta remember, in the first game, the only game that the helghan were the invading force. all of the other games its Vekta invading outside of shawdow fall were its more of a Berlin wall / NK vs SK thing.

...

Ace Combat 4 is a good entry point.

I hope Ace Combat 7 isn't shit

You have much to learn.

You do it like this.

Mig-21 is my planefu.

the thing itself is just a manned missile really

I still find it beautifull in sort of a weird way.

Anyone know any games like this?

I think the undead campaign in Wesnoth has you end up as a necromancer, the final mission repeats itself over and over as heroes try to take you down.

I guess undertale also counts.
We really need more videogames about being the villain, last good ones were Dungeon Keeper, Overlord and Evil Genius. Tropico is ok but they keep putting new games out while adding very little each time.

Total War: Warhammer currently has more evil factions available to play as than good factions, allowing you to:

Bring about the end of the World

Become the biggest, meanest Orc Warboss ever seen

Turn the world in to a realm where the undead rule the living

Burn down anything even remotely resembling civilization

>if you agree you FUCK OFF TUMBLRTALE

I tend to prefer the Su-37. I just wish it had better paint schemes.

Even in the first game, it was after being deported off-world to an arid hellhole.

FEAR is the closest thing, Insurgency has similar mechanics to that which are actually pretty impressive more focused around teamside reactions though

The F-35 is the fighter plane equivalent of a Bethesda game: It costs a ton of money, it makes grand promises it has no hope of delivering on, and it does a lot of things but doesn't do any of them well.

And despite how much effort people will put into trying to improve it, the game's limitations will always be obvious and unfixable.

And they say it's supposed to replace the BRRRRRRRRRRRRRT

It even has a shitty vanilla UI!

Fuck off, the adults are talking

Other than that the raider in general arent technicaly their own faction of (according to lore) are 3. The one group in the city, to the north than the south. The city one is at war with the 2 to the north and south. the north and south have an alliance and are trying to get at the loot in the city but the city raiders are too big so its all a stalemate.

Fallout 4 does some things right, not enough, but some.

Diablo1: despite being unstoppable at the end-game, ending shows that YOU LOSE.
Diablo2: cutscenes are about who you're chasing.

same here in the Netherlands
F35 can't do anything particularly well, and on top of that isn't modular, so you're stuck with a jack of no trades that flies and handles like a brick, because it has a fat cross-section and no wingsurface.

the taxes weren't even that high you yanks

It wasn't about the taxes, you limey fuck, it was about the principle of being taxed without any representation in the government collecting said taxes.

jokes on you I'm a canuck

...

It was about self-government, nationalism, and independence. The Americans began to see themselves as a separate people, and their strong tradition of self-government naturally led to a backlash when the British became more heavy-handed in their attempts to profit at the colonies' expense.

Then you have nothing worth contributing; you picked the wrong side in the fight.

The revolution was just one group of incestuous aristocrats supplanting another with the aid of an easily manipulated public.

Well, it didn't really change the social relations of colonial life, that's true. But it was historically important, and it led to the creation of the first secular state in history.

I wonder if being Canadian made you this way, or if being this way is why there are Canadians.

Obvious bait but I support it. Time to bring out the bingo board again.

user, there is video of the Lightning doing this. Why would you lie so blatantly about this?

wow it's almost like you have almost no idea what you're talking about. Regardless, in recent tests the F-15 was unable to shoot down the F-35 in 8 separate attempts.

[Citation needed]

Now post the Jew bingo card.

you're planefu a shit

Did you even play the game you poser faggot?

Wew.

The worst is the A-10 one. Any air defense system capable of making the F-35 pointless will make the A-10 a million times more pointless. I am still learning about modern air defense systems, but that is so obvious fuck.

If the F-35 bombs then the solution isn't dumping stealth and spamming old aircraft. It's updating our stealth designs to cope with modern Russian and Chinese systems just enough to let us kill them good. Some level of stealth is the price of admission to an air fight. I always wanted to fly SEAD goddamn why won't my body let me.

"Cables out? This sucks!"

Fucking Armored Core and the Plus mechanic.

I know the enemy being able to 'know' what you do has been a thing since the ps2 era, but that's nice.

It's amazing how even this is underutilized in this day and age.

How have I never heard of this movie. This is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile.

washu mean fam?

You got an issue with that Slim Pickens?

It always bugged me that Raiders still tried shit to the guy strutting around in PA with a Anti-Material rifle in hand. But yeah that was one of the few nice touches F4 has.

Somebody hasn't read The Prince.

I wish people would stop reposting this in relation to the F-35. The Bradley's development was a long, drawn-out mess but it ended up producing a perfectly fine AFV. The F-35 will always be a turd.

The F-35 is actually shaping up to be a really good fighter too. Better range than the Viper and Hornet, better maneuverability than the Hornet, better payload than either the Hornet or Viper, better compatibility with the latest tech and built with future upgrades in mind, the most advanced avionics ever put in a fighter, and better than the Harrier in almost every way. All of this for far less money than the Eurofighter, Rafale, F-15SE, most other 5th gen fighters (slightly more expensive than the T-50), and some newer F-16 models (though not any that the USAF currently operates).

It's not.

The Viper's range is a product of its design goals, the Hornet's range is a product of those fucking pylons, the F-35's range isn't good except by comparison with two short-legged fighters. The F-15A has a larger combat radius than the F-35A.

The F-35 will never be meaningfully upgraded in the way that the F-15 and F-16 were. The main restraining factors on fighter upgrades are internal space and thermal headroom. The F-35 has some internal space to spare thanks to its fat fucking dumpy design but it has zero thermal headroom, as illustrated by the fact that its fuel trucks have to be babied.

It can't take advantage of them thanks to its low G-limit. I'm not sure if you want to point a finger at the plane's software as a good point considering the migraines that ALIS is causing.

The Harrier was an abomination against God. "Better than the Harrier in almost every way" is a condemnation.

I'm not going to argue about LockMart's creative accounting. Any benefits in cost that may or may not ever materialize will be offset by the enormous pain in the ass of having to shuttle a F-35 to the continental US for repairs every time it breaks.

And the F-22 is the only fifth-gen fighter that exists.

Okay? That's nice, but completely irrelevant. The F-35A isn't supposed to replace the F-15A in any meaningful way. The F-35A will replace the F-16 and the F-35C will replace the Hornet, so it's only fair to compare the Hornet and Viper with the Lightning. Pointing out that the F-15 beats the F-35 in combat radius is like pointing out that the F-22 is faster than the F-16. Statements like that aren't wrong, just completely irrelevant. The F-35 was never meant to beat the F-15 in anything, that's the F-22's job.

Jesus Christ this shit again. This, just like that "dogfight test" with the F-16, was completely misinterpreted by the media (whether it was intentional or not is a totally separate debate). This was not done specifically for the F-35, and would have been done regardless of its existence. This is a preventative measure to ensure that the USAF will have as few issues as possible with all aircraft in the fleet. Hell, many commercial airliners already paint their trucks white for this same reason. However if you can give me even one instance of a F-35 being unable to fly due to heat then I will concede this point.

What low G limit? The F-35A has been tested up to 9.9Gs. That's higher than the F-16's limit. The B and C variants are nothing to sneeze at either, as they both have greater or equal G limits to the aircraft they replace. There used to be artificial limits set on the fleet due to testing so that might be what has you confused there.

The Falklands War would like to have a word with you.

That only has to be done if there's extensive damage to the airframe, and even then many countries won't have to do that as many have Lockheed facilities on their own soil (Japan, Italy) or have special agreements with the US to support their own aircraft (Like Israel, who will promptly sell their secrets to China). I'm not saying this system is perfect, it's far from that, but I'm certain it won't last forever. After all, do you really think that countries like Turkey wouldn't simply develop their own repair techniques?

Dude the F-22 isn't even the only 5th gen fighter in service. The F-35B is combat-ready with the Marines and the F-35A just entered service with the USAF. Aside from those we have the T-50 and J-20 entering service with Russia and China respectively, the J-31 being developed by China for the cheap export fighter market, the X-2 being used by Japan to develop the F-3 (similar to the X-35 and F-35), plus the multitude of other fighters being developed by India, Russia, South Korea, Turkey, and Sweden.

Fuck I remember that part of the game! That was the mission where you take down Megalith, right? Damn, which Ace Combat game was that? It's been ages since I played that one on the PS2, there must be dozens of sequels to it by now.

...

Yeah, it was the mission against Megalith, the last mission of Ace Combat 04.

The F-15A is forty years old, just so we're clear.

"We painted the refuelers white to reduce the temperature of fuel being delivered to the F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter," said Senior Airman Jacob Hartman, a 56th LRS fuels distribution operator. "The F-35 has a fuel temperature threshold and may not function properly if the fuel temperature is too high, so after collaborating with other bases and receiving waiver approval from (the Air Education Training Command), we painted the tanks white."

af.mil/News/ArticleDisplay/tabid/223/Article/555558/luke-afb-changes-refueling-truck-color-mitigates-f-35-shutdowns.aspx

A preventative measure that weirdly never had to be done until the F-35 was set to replace the entire fleet. :^)

As far as I'm aware, this is still true:

The plane's got thermal issues, it doesn't have much if any headroom left for more electronics.

That was. I wonder how long it's going to be before the limit has to be brought back down due to airframe cracks or delamination.

The Falklands War only happened because the Argentinian junta looked at the UK's navy and thought to themselves "I bet they can't even get that pile of shit over here", it wouldn't have even happened if they had a proper fleet carrier with a proper fighter.

The Harrier: the only fighter so shitty it actually started a war.

I'm expecting Turkey to sell their F-35s to Russia tbh fam.

We both know the F-35B isn't combat-ready and the only reason the Marines declared it was is because if they didn't declare IOC then they would've been subject to Congressional oversight and nobody there wanted a bunch of senators asking questions like "why the fuck do you need these" and "why does your branch still exist anyway". The F-35A isn't in much better shape. Last I heard, Russia was desperately trying to sponge India for the money to continue developing the T-50 and India was telling them to fuck off. I'll believe the J-20 and J-31 are fifth generation when a Pakistani pilot flies one to Sweden to live in his native lands and the US gets to look at it. The X-2 is a testbed.

No. It was because they thought the UK would roll over and let them do it, and they almost did. Margaret Thatcher however was opposed to this, and thought they should kick their shit in.

(2)

That's good to know, so is the F-16.

“This is not an F-35 issue; there are no special restrictions on the F-35 related to fuel temperature. The F-35 uses the same fuel as other military aircraft. It can fly under the same temperature conditions as any other advanced military aircraft,”

“Painting fuel trucks to reduce fuel temperature and improve aircraft performance will benefit legacy aircraft as well as F-35. There is no fuel temperature upper limitation on F-35 operations that would prevent sorties, and no sorties have been cancelled as a result of fuel temperature,”

breakingdefense.com/2014/12/the-tale-of-the-f-35-and-hot-jet-fuel/

Correlation ≠ causation faggot. You're gonna need some more compelling evidence than "it happened at the same time". The F-35 had been using the old fuel trucks before this as well and it had no issues with them.

The Israelis are already adding additional electronics to their F-35Is so clearly heat isn't much of an issue with them.

That's a very real possibility, but good luck to Russia if they try to reverse-engineer it. The F135 engine alone is beyond Russia's manufacturing capability.

It's met the requirements for it and the pilots are trained, I see no reason not to declare them combat-ready aside from "I don't like the F-35". The F-35A has also met these requirements. As for the T-50, Russia is trying to get India to develop the export variant. The Russian model should be entering service in 2017 or 2018. The J-20 is definitely a 5th gen design. It's ugly, but definitely 5th gen. After all, It's directly based on Russia's MiG-1.44, which was a 5th gen tech demonstrator. The J-20 has entered LRIP recently so it'll probably be entering service with China soon. Who knows about the J-31 though, China has been keeping that program pretty damn quiet. The X-2 may be a testbed, but its design will be scaled up to become the F-3.

>Implying The Prince wasn't a satirical polemic against the Borgias.

Machiavelli wrote whatever would further his career at the point in his life he wrote it/with the person he wrote it for.

The Prince is no more satire than Discourses.

The Prince didn't further his career, it was a ruse to convince a retarded Borgia prince to follow his "advice" and inadvertently start a republican rebellion. It failed because few people are that retarded, and the prince didn't even read the book because Machiavelli was a known republican.

I strongly suggest you look up the complete writings of Machievelli, specifically his letters to friends.

A man who writes an unfunny satire does not describe at length its virtues and his pride in writing it to his friends.

The Prince and Discourses are not even hugely different other than they're intended audience. Do no mistake esoteric writing for satire.

I'm not going to take your view over those of the vast majority of literary critics.
