You'd think that the mission timers were what was making the game so hard for several of the reviewers... but when I watched and read the reviews themselves... turns out they didn't pay attention in the briefings and were mentally tuning out the radio chatter. Which basically means that Menhir 7 is still waiting on Air Support from them.
@@SkinnyBlackout Yeah it is not an Ace Combat game period. If you compare it to Call of Duty it is actually pretty good. At least Markov is a sympathetic Russian antagonist, which is rare. Also goddamn the metal soundtrack is just awesome in AH, really is its own thing.
@@titanicww2345 I couldn't finish it. I just uninstalled immediately after the first 2-3 missions, the only things I remember are the useless dogfighting mode and the bitter taste it left afterwards. Also, as much as I love metal, AC3's atmospheric drum and bass soundtrack takes the cake for me.
right I actually liked that aspect. it made me actually feel more connected to my wingmen. also it made the missions refreshing when I needed to confirm the ID before shooting
Story started out pretty basic, then got amazingly unique with the 444th. Then they kinda dropped the whole penal squadron plot for the rest of the game. It got amazing when the IFF was down though. Pure chaos amongst two tired forces fighting a war that should've been over.
It had a lot of great ideas, but that's kinda the problem, they set up a lot of cool stuff and abandoned them halfway. When the IFF was down, I really felt like the overall tone got a lot better, and the whole drone debacle was very interesting, but at the point, it was already too late. They introduced too many characters and plot points, many of which were scarcely explored, and the end product was kind of a jumbled mess. The impression I had is that the campaign had to be at least three times as long to properly develop its ideas. I'm really hoping that the DLCs have smaller, more enclosed stories so that we can have at least a bit of the consistency games like 4, 5 and Zero had.
My brother put it nicely upon seeing me play it for the first time and watching a cutscene. He said "this looks like those japanese games for the PS2 that they just don't make any more". It is so refreshing to see a long time series like this come back in stride. It feels like no time was lost at all, and I played AC4 about a week before launch so I had a direct comparison going in. Both games play fantastic, only difference being AC7 looks a hundred times better. I wish more series from the PS2 era got modern sequels like this, where the games stay just as fun with all the modes intact, but the graphics cranked up.
Lighthouse war? more like The Drone Wars. You know, the idea of an endless drone army did sound scary. Kinda like a robot rebellion but in Strangereal. But Mister X put more of a fight than the two last drones. Maybe it would be more interesting if we fail and the war drags on.
I think that outcome got less plot-time than it deserved. The idea of two hyper-intelligent combat drones spawning an endless horde of weaponized robots onto a fractured continent is one of the only things in AC series to make me actually care. That's some absolutely Skynet-tier shit.
@@echodelta2172 I wouldn't really call them hyper intelligent, at least at the stage that they were at the end of the game. They do seem to exhibit learning behaviour, but I would think that it's more of Mihaly's "I want to understand the enemy" attitude bleeding through, but still that does allow them to learn, so yeah. Also it's still unclear if they're an AI that reached self awareness, or they're simply following orders really aggressively. I personally believe in the latter, which is no less destructive, but limits their interactions to following their set directives which allows wiggle room in finding a strategy to defeat them while the former... Let's just say a computer thinks much faster than humans, and if free to do anything it wants, an apocalypse due to it would be inevitable, or as the characters said, the war would go on forever
@@ThePolish2107 Erusea would have won the war, hands down, if Trigger didn't knock the two drones out in time. Of course, I think that victory would be against the majority of Erusea's will, as both sides were teaming up to find any way to end the war ASAP, regardless of who won. And that's also assuming some Belkan asshole who could pull the strings wouldn't suddenly turn the infinite number of drones to destroy Erusea and everyone else. The world would be in a state where one person can order pinpoint strikes against anyone, and any armed force trying to resist now has to deal with mass produced Mihaly/Trigger haxbots.
The story may be cluttered and not as good as, say, the trinity, but I think it catches a lot of flak it doesn't really deserve. tl;dr, it's made pretty clear that "chaos and confusion" is an intentional underpinning this time around, with many key events falling under "trying to make sense of a clusterfuck when the expected has broken down". Tying in with that, it also makes it clear that it's trying to deal with perspective and (mis)interpretation (there are way too many examples of this to list, literally can't make it through the first cutscene before it comes up), and I suspect that some of the things I've often see referred to as "dropped plotlines" are exactly that. Maybe Bandog really did make a mistake but he's just so arrogant, confrontational and condescending that in context an honest accident looks like a conspiracy plotline with a messy coverup. It's a bit too jumbled and jumps around too much for my liking, and often isn't told very well, but I don't think the story is quite as bad as people make it out to be. Take any specific criticism you might have, ask yourself how it might fit in with "chaos and confusion" and "perspective and (mis)interpretation", then see if your criticism remains as strong.
I was even confused about the motivations/goals of the Eruseans. They never even show us the soldiers and civilians of the respective sides. Like should I care.
@@titanicww2345 Erusea believed that Osea was attempting to gain power and influence over Usea with the space elevator and wasn't happy with that. So they used drones to strike military targets in Osea and Usea. It's important to note that they were military targets. No civilian losses. The fact that they were fighting a clean war and Osea was accidently killing civilians in their counter attacks further justified the war in the eyes of the Erusean people.
@@majorborngusfluunduch8694 Well than the game should have bloody well shown us the effects of war then. The plot/game feels so disconnected with the world maybe that was the point because drones. Like do we not play a soldier who is fighting for his country, never got that feeling.
Spoilers ahead: The issue with 7’s story is that the missions you do feel like a byproduct of the story- not the story itself. For example, the most dramatic thing to happen in the game is the satellites going down, but are you involved with that? No, you just have to deal with it for a mission or two. Compare that to 5 or 0, where the plot is totally driven by the actions of your squad alone, sinking the scinfaxi, leading the invasion of Yuktobania, becoming refugees on the run from gray men. That’s plot- not just random missions that are related to what’s happening in the story. Ace Combat 7 manages to save itself in the final hour, with the last missions finally feeling like you are the real protagonist of the story, shooting down the arsenal bird and mega-drones. The only issue is, by this point the campaign is ending and there isn’t enough time to make us care about the characters. So it ultimately falls flat, which is a real shame.
SPOILERS I've expected a better use for the characters they showed us from the trailers. In the end, none of the actual characters of the game does important shit for the plot's progress, I mean, Trigger kills people and Oseans likes it, Mihaly is used for drone IA improvement but what he actually does is flying around, shooting to one or two enemies until Triggers sticks to his tail, Avril is mostly a narrator so I can understand but I would have preferred to see her more involved into the plot, same for the Princess. I've found that most of the characters just doesn't evolve and they can't properly be studied by the player only by radio communications. Maybe getting longer cutscenes would make it work better, or also having private talks with the characters like in the JP version of Ace Combat 3. I mean, in that game any characters has a different line of dialogues and actions that changes by what you do and by your performance during the mission, you can actually see them changing in good or bad or understand how they think. Project Aces should look back at Ace Combat 3 and make a game focused on characters than the event, also because they always tell us a little of the true plot that usually is told in Aces at War books.
I actually really like the story here, the fact that your Wingma develops over the course of the story is great and the *twist* if you could call it that for the final boss was great (although I wanted a bit more out of it).
I have to disagree with you on the story part Like i know some parts are unecessary (like the song they start "singing" out of nowhere for no reason) but the story was pretty good if we compare to nowaday's games,(and a masterpiece if you compare to Flying With The Angels Simulator,DFM Combat Assault Deception or Give Us Your Money For Fuel And also lets not forget the cameo of the eternal Ace Combat 7 Waifu,Kei Nagase
Camaraderie is absent from 7. I really hated Osea by the end with their poor treatment of Trigger. Also Osean incompetence reached ludicrous levels in this game. Erusea wasn't better either. You know in 6 I felt camaraderie with the Flagship Marigold, Avalanche, Windhover etc. In 6 I sympathized with the Estovakians. Not in 7 as it switched squads too often and Erusea was underdeveloped. Only Wiseman was somewhat good. Cossette was a missed opportunity. Really the game was a missed oppertunity story wise. All the elements were there but they could not form a compelling story. It has its moments but is no story masterpiece.
@@titanicww2345 Military brass incompetence and the lack of communication during chaos were both pretty big themes of the story. Not saying your criticism is invalid but those aspects were definitely intentional.
@@koumakyo Yeah but I wanted Trigger to act on that like Pixy did. All that incompetence is buried in the end and Osea gets away with it. It is just a let down.
I just recently finished my fourth playthrough of this and having not played an ace since ace combat 6 on the 360. When you let off that montage of moments in the game with the really intense music and diffent dialogue cuts my hairs stood up and i got chills down my spine. Ace 7 was exactly everything i wanted it to be and more. The game is generally just really good, im having so much fun with the post stall manuvers, the story still leaves much ro be desired but i will admit once i ended it and got to the "war is over" magazine cover i kinda started to tear up. Thanks for that nostalgic kick in the face even tho i just played it today because you someboe made me miss a game i played an hour ago. (I am aware this comment was all over the place )
@@SkinnyBlackout Probably only started playing 5. It holds up, with enough variety to make it interesting. Osea is at least shown and the civilians actually react to the events unfolding. But we will see how it ends.
@@shaundavidssd AC's story has alway been cheesy, any AC vet knows that. But, I have to agree with almost everyone, they just missed this one, they could have done a lot more but the focused more on the gameplay
Don't destroy me too hard but the one thing that I really liked about assault Horizon was the multiplayer having a mix of ground targets and are targets Ai thrown in there I'm fine with them having a Team Deathmatch and a free for all but you don't feel like you're battling anything other than another random person online where the assault Horizon had you feel like you were participating in some sort of battle. But that's just how I feel about it.
Yeah, the multiplayer in Ace Combat 7 is a major downgrade compared to both Assault Horizon and Infinity, it just doesn't have as much to offer compared to them. Still fun, but they definitely need to add more variety in later updates.
@@rueryuzaki9917 Why didn't they just like, port infinity over to ps4? it was actually a passable entry. could have just gotten all those modes (maybe even player dara, callsigns paintjobs etc.) so we would have all the co-op missions, imagine all that content from the get go only now its not attached to some f2p BS. Buy the full game, you get 20 campaign missions and a loaded MP ready to rock. Sadly thats not how it played out. At least we get the best controls and audio/visuals in the series in exchange, you win some you lose some.
@@Zezinizzle Tell me about it, Infinity would've had so much more to offer. 7 is a good game, don't get me wrong, but just remembering how much more Infinity had just saddens me.
In defense on the timer part, those missions need some 'strategy', eg. The fleet mission, you need to strike the core of those platform to accumulate mass points. Same as the oil tanks mission, shoot the big oil tank to trigger mass explosion.
I did my first play thur on normal mostly because of the story do feel it lacked a little compared to other Ace C games but it was harder at time an didn't have a repetitive feel to it. It really kept things mixed
That last little montage with the song was getting me in my feels for the game, right up until I saw him flying too low and knew exactly what was about to happen. Because I do the same thing alllll the time
I still wonder, how that princess survived? By the way, why a princess need to go to that tower and jump from it? Sorry I was too busy shooting those UAVs. Waiting for your story review.
@@SkinnyBlackout Yeah, dude. I thought it was my poor English skill (I am from China and bought the US version). But after I replayed that mission, I still don't get it....... :P
It's a decent story, but they try a bit too hard to make it like 3 and 5 at the same time. That, and they kind of go on a, to put it kindly, a character killing spree.
I was fine with the story, as the "color" portion of it was told through 4 people with different viewpoints, different information, and (within limited time) showed how the events of the war changed them. Then there was the story told within the briefings and while in-flight, where even the tone of the commanders conveyed the situation and the confusion that can occur during war with limited communication/information.
As a newcomer to the franchise I thought it was a fuckin blast. The dogfights were fun even if I still don't know everything. I had only a few minor timer issues my real complaint was some enemy spawns on like one mission and one of those red 1 min timers
Okay quality quotes from 7: "Scrap Queen" Avril, "I am going to tell my kid this" Jager, "Stick with Trigger and you'll make it" Tabloid. "Solitary" "Convicts" Commander Mckinsey. Of course not Ace Combat 6 level of cringe but weirdly resembles in plot structure with a dash of pacing problems, and unresolved plot threads.. Also the Assault Records are a step down from 6.
SA80SLAYER not sabo Oh yeah Trigger is always called buddy but I am not buying. Trigger is not a buddy he is the mule that does all the work while the allies sit back and take credit.
All of the comments talking about the good ol' days and how great it is to see an old dog learn a few new tricks. It's a beautiful sight to be sure. I remember those days. I remember how I thought that the future of gaming would have all sorts of titles like this one but with crazy graphics dialed up to 11 and dynamic gameplay that was so realistic that it would rival actually going out and doing the real thing. Boy how wrong I was. While AC7 doesn't live *entirely* up to the Holy Trinity of AC, it serves a greater purpose. Games like this one, Doom, and Spyro Reignited Trilogy serve as beacons of the Golden Age of Gaming. A reminder of what things were like back then, and what gaming has lost as a whole. Looking back, I would never have thought that gaming would eventually be exploited by old men in suits and their multi-billion dollar enterprises for the soul purpose of taking cash out of our wallets. Thank goodness for companies like Project Aces and their devoted teams who through all of this time, have been looking down on us. This comment goes out to them, and to many great gaming titles to come.
my favorite is when you buy the season pass that just contains a music play which you can find on the internet now and they dont actually add content to it so they become EA2
AC7 is fun. Out of the 20 campaign missions (most finished in about the 10-15 minute range) there are only a few worth replaying. There are at least 3 extremely annoying missions that I dread having to replay for the collectibles. (Can't go above clouds or you die, scavenger hunt in desert for invisible trucks, etc.). The score attack missions are the most fun (unfortunately, one of those is the hunt for invisible trucks mission which happens after the score attack part.) One of the missions is an escort mission with invisible SAM sites you have to find (yeah no, I googled a map and said F that after failing once.) I really.... REALLY wish there was another campaign or at least more missions. I'm not much of an online player, so I was a bit disappointed in the play time of the game. However, people are actually figuring out how to mod this game (just cosmetic so far) so I'm really... really hoping that they figure out how to add more singleplayer content. The story is.... confusing to say the least. Most of the time I ignored it and just "shot the red things" and that seemed to work out pretty well. The different planes feel different and control differently, so that's good. It's a shame that the planes are all locked to 3 weapons (out of a bunch total). It makes some high tier planes just not worth playing because the weapons available to it suck. In the end, I'm not sure if I'd pay full price for it again, not unless they release more content or the modders figure out a way to add content into the game.
So happy Ace Combat and Soulcalibur came back from their slumber. Now we need Ridge Racer to return as well.....Maybe even Cybersled and Time Crisis. Give me a Time Crisis VR
I'm glad someone pointed out some of the mission timers, that's my biggest complaint of the game. Its not fun having 10 minutes to get 25,000 points hitting different groups of targets separated by different distances. If I was using something faster than the A10 it might have been easier though so maybe thats the trick.
@@skylerrutherford9870 That would've sucked. That's awful fan-fic stuff right there. That's the cringey kind of fan service ruins characters. Yellow 13 died in battle at the hands of a pilot he deemed worthy, and he fell over the capital city of his nation. That's beautiful. Mihaly being Yellow 13 would've ruined that.
Why would a military let convicts use in real life multi million dollar Jets like the F 22 A Raptor which in real life cost 330 million dollars. So why does a penal unit have expensive planes if im expendable then give me a prop plane with a machine gun attached to it.
Wait wait... I'm sure I can't be the only one who dreamed to play Ace combat in virtual reality one day, and it's barely a footnote or ten second mention here??
I just finished the story of the game a week ago and I had a lot of fun learning about this game and the world it takes place in. But I got hit with 5 lightning strikes and almost broke my controller, but other then that I loved this game
I just beat Hard mode with just the F-14. Except for the first two mission, needed some cash to buy her. Literally, just the F-14 in full cockpit view. Mostly use the Phoenix missile and the guided bomb unit throughout the whole campiagn. It's was exhilarating, and love every experience on it, Highway to the Dangerzone
What did you personally feel about the "Protect the NPC" missions? I only failed Score Attack and Escort missions, with the prior being due to not having good planes and the latter being entirely not fair in the slightest.I've played too much ace combat in my life to be finger waggled 'u didn du it rite' every three missions.
Yeah honestly the story was my only real gripe. It didnt really evoke the same amount of interest and emotion from me as the PS2 games did. But the music, characters, graphics, etc were top notch and made the presentation as amazing as I'd expect from an Ace Combat game.
This was my first Ace Combat game I forgot that I was playing on hard mode on my first playthrough. It's easy enough if you know that you can't fire at an enemy flying perpendicular to you.
Them being a-holes with lack of joystick compatibility outside the couple they marketed for the game (aka what most people who waited for the pc release for only to get slapped in the face) is my biggest issue with this game. I LOVE looking at my logitech extreme 3d flight stick and not being able to use it on an air combat game!
You should do an in depth review of the 3 DLC missions They contain enough content to make a video on those 3 mission themselves they are that amazing and very long
So the Cuphea survivors can't handle a bit flying as well? Maybe they should just stick with Pong or memory puzzles instead. But I can kinda see why people will find the control scheme a bit difficult, given the fact that someone that played any of those games before already knows the drill and there is almost no modern flightsimulator on the PS4. But whatever happened to the cliffhanger from Infinity? I thought that was a bit more than just a tech demo and PR for this game...
I liked the story tbh. It's true it's a bit cheesy and it has some plot holes but no Ace Combat is safe from that, maybe only Zero. My main problem with it is that it tries too hard to be AC5, both stories have way too many simmilarities. -Osea caught by surprise and then on the counteroffensive? Check. -Civilian characters caught in the middle of all this are the ones that tell most of the story? Check. -Osea has not one, but TWO superweapons that are lost to the enemy and must be destroyed or stopped somehow? Check. -Everything was a Belkan conspiracy in the end? Check. -There is a major event that makes you lose contact with the military and work more or less on your own for a greater cause? Check. And I'm sure there might be even more simmilarities. Mind you, I think the story wasn't bad, but not really good either.
While mission difficulty because of time limits is debatable, I find dogfights pretty easy. I mean on my first playthrough I managed to beat Mihaly on hard with an A-10
Challenge alert, get as hammered as you can possibly get without needing medical attention and then try to do the last mision in ace mode, everyone in the group puts 10$, whoever wins get it all Now u have a plan for tomorrow
@@khadijarassa1865 I actually disagree with that. I would call it equal to 6. The mechanics, graphics and writing of 7 are definitely better. However, the gameplay of 6 was rock-solid and the superweapon battles were leagues better than what 7 offered.
(SPOILERS in an angry rant, beware) Can we just comment for a second how all the SOL squadron survived (including Mihaly) but any of those that where with you or just hunted by Mihaly didn't make it? (Brownie, Chomp, Wiseman) It really pisses me off. Are my fucking missiles made out of wet paper? Also, the totally unecesary death of Tabloid at the end (that we didn't even get to see). Btw, the princess's "death" when she jumps from the space elevator was so disrespectful and unexpected I couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes, just to be extremely mad that they "killed her" in that way. It makes me even angrier that she somehow survived what seemed to be a missile to the face. I was also really mad with the tunnel phase because my PS4 controler sometimes steers to the left for no real reason, crashing my plane unless I'm fast enough to counteract it. Older ACs tunnel phases weren't as freaking tight as this. Edit: On the topic of getting hit by lightning I can say: Only twice? Cute. I got hit 3 times in a row in the same attempt, until I crashed because of the last one.
@@rueryuzaki9917 You may be right, since in the last mission my focus was destroying the drones as fast as posible. I wasn't paying too much attention to the radio. What I meant was that whenever I tried to shoot the SOL squadron they somehow survived. Two times.
@@dhuntermg That is true, it is annoying that they seem to have invincibility whenever you fight them; and even if you shoot them down, they, most likely, survive.
The game was hard the first playthrough for me. Ace Combat 6 is still difficult for me. (Granted I didn't play it more than once) 7 and 6 have a good amount of DNA in common, specifically the enemy spam. OH GOD, THE ARSENAL BIRD, OH GOD *Gets hit by 20 missiles at once on Stonehenge Defensive*

And that's also assuming some Belkan asshole who could pull the strings wouldn't suddenly turn the infinite number of drones to destroy Erusea and everyone else. The world would be in a state where one person can order pinpoint strikes against anyone, and any armed force trying to resist now has to deal with mass produced Mihaly/Trigger haxbots.
@@ThePolish2107 Combine unmanned drones with fookin laser sights, now you get his living nightmare.

The story may be cluttered and not as good as, say, the trinity, but I think it catches a lot of flak it doesn't really deserve.
tl;dr, it's made pretty clear that "chaos and confusion" is an intentional underpinning this time around, with many key events falling under "trying to make sense of a clusterfuck when the expected has broken down". Tying in with that, it also makes it clear that it's trying to deal with perspective and (mis)interpretation (there are way too many examples of this to list, literally can't make it through the first cutscene before it comes up), and I suspect that some of the things I've often see referred to as "dropped plotlines" are exactly that. Maybe Bandog really did make a mistake but he's just so arrogant, confrontational and condescending that in context an honest accident looks like a conspiracy plotline with a messy coverup.
It's a bit too jumbled and jumps around too much for my liking, and often isn't told very well, but I don't think the story is quite as bad as people make it out to be. Take any specific criticism you might have, ask yourself how it might fit in with "chaos and confusion" and "perspective and (mis)interpretation", then see if your criticism remains as strong.
I was even confused about the motivations/goals of the Eruseans. They never even show us the soldiers and civilians of the respective sides. Like should I care.
@@titanicww2345 Erusea believed that Osea was attempting to gain power and influence over Usea with the space elevator and wasn't happy with that. So they used drones to strike military targets in Osea and Usea. It's important to note that they were military targets. No civilian losses. The fact that they were fighting a clean war and Osea was accidently killing civilians in their counter attacks further justified the war in the eyes of the Erusean people.
@@majorborngusfluunduch8694 Well than the game should have bloody well shown us the effects of war then. The plot/game feels so disconnected with the world maybe that was the point because drones. Like do we not play a soldier who is fighting for his country, never got that feeling.
I think Bandog's "mistake" is ordered by McKinsey, and Bandog doesn't like McKinsey very much.
Spoilers ahead:
The issue with 7’s story is that the missions you do feel like a byproduct of the story- not the story itself. For example, the most dramatic thing to happen in the game is the satellites going down, but are you involved with that? No, you just have to deal with it for a mission or two.
Compare that to 5 or 0, where the plot is totally driven by the actions of your squad alone, sinking the scinfaxi, leading the invasion of Yuktobania, becoming refugees on the run from gray men. That’s plot- not just random missions that are related to what’s happening in the story.
Ace Combat 7 manages to save itself in the final hour, with the last missions finally feeling like you are the real protagonist of the story, shooting down the arsenal bird and mega-drones. The only issue is, by this point the campaign is ending and there isn’t enough time to make us care about the characters. So it ultimately falls flat, which is a real shame.
SPOILERS
I've expected a better use for the characters they showed us from the trailers. In the end, none of the actual characters of the game does important shit for the plot's progress, I mean, Trigger kills people and Oseans likes it, Mihaly is used for drone IA improvement but what he actually does is flying around, shooting to one or two enemies until Triggers sticks to his tail, Avril is mostly a narrator so I can understand but I would have preferred to see her more involved into the plot, same for the Princess. I've found that most of the characters just doesn't evolve and they can't properly be studied by the player only by radio communications. Maybe getting longer cutscenes would make it work better, or also having private talks with the characters like in the JP version of Ace Combat 3. I mean, in that game any characters has a different line of dialogues and actions that changes by what you do and by your performance during the mission, you can actually see them changing in good or bad or understand how they think. Project Aces should look back at Ace Combat 3 and make a game focused on characters than the event, also because they always tell us a little of the true plot that usually is told in Aces at War books.
I actually really like the story here, the fact that your Wingma develops over the course of the story is great and the *twist* if you could call it that for the final boss was great (although I wanted a bit more out of it).
I will say Count is a good character, but personally, the twist wasn't that great to me. It was ok, but they probably could've done more with it.
@@rueryuzaki9917 That's why I said I wanted more out of it.
@@protossoverlord8345 Oh, I know, I was just saying I found the twist to be ok rather than great.
To me it felt like a spiritual continuation of shattered skies
I have to disagree with you on the story part
Like i know some parts are unecessary (like the song they start "singing" out of nowhere for no reason) but the story was pretty good if we compare to nowaday's games,(and a masterpiece if you compare to Flying With The Angels Simulator,DFM Combat Assault Deception or Give Us Your Money For Fuel
And also lets not forget the cameo of the eternal Ace Combat 7 Waifu,Kei Nagase
Camaraderie is absent from 7. I really hated Osea by the end with their poor treatment of Trigger. Also Osean incompetence reached ludicrous levels in this game. Erusea wasn't better either. You know in 6 I felt camaraderie with the Flagship Marigold, Avalanche, Windhover etc. In 6 I sympathized with the Estovakians. Not in 7 as it switched squads too often and Erusea was underdeveloped. Only Wiseman was somewhat good. Cossette was a missed opportunity. Really the game was a missed oppertunity story wise. All the elements were there but they could not form a compelling story. It has its moments but is no story masterpiece.
@@titanicww2345 Military brass incompetence and the lack of communication during chaos were both pretty big themes of the story. Not saying your criticism is invalid but those aspects were definitely intentional.
@@koumakyo Yeah but I wanted Trigger to act on that like Pixy did. All that incompetence is buried in the end and Osea gets away with it. It is just a let down.
To hell with Nagase, If wanted a useless waifu with square personality I'd date a brick.
@@SkinnyBlackout Not even that the die-hard fans use that cameo to excuse all the narrative flaws in the game which is infuriating.
Finally a reviewer that isn't using novice control mode, THANK YOU!
I just recently finished my fourth playthrough of this and having not played an ace since ace combat 6 on the 360. When you let off that montage of moments in the game with the really intense music and diffent dialogue cuts my hairs stood up and i got chills down my spine. Ace 7 was exactly everything i wanted it to be and more. The game is generally just really good, im having so much fun with the post stall manuvers, the story still leaves much ro be desired but i will admit once i ended it and got to the "war is over" magazine cover i kinda started to tear up. Thanks for that nostalgic kick in the face even tho i just played it today because you someboe made me miss a game i played an hour ago. (I am aware this comment was all over the place )
Is it weird that I was looking forward to this video more than the possibility of playing the game?
honestly yeah
Not at all, it will be a meme/joke masterpiece. Ace Combat 5 is still better than 7.
@@oboeshoesgames You sell yourself short. You are going to get big with your quality humor.
@@titanicww2345 I'd say it's the same level of cheese and useless characters in both games.
@@SkinnyBlackout Probably only started playing 5. It holds up, with enough variety to make it interesting. Osea is at least shown and the civilians actually react to the events unfolding. But we will see how it ends.
Gameplay sent me straight back to my days grinding out AC5.
Story reminded me why I pay attention to but don’t overanalyze anime plot lines.
Honestly? A couple details aside, 7's story is pretty much a remix of 5: just swap the word "nuke" with "drone".
Well said. This was actually my first Ace Combat game, and now I’m hooked on the series.
RIP brownie
In my humble opinion, ace combat 5 and zero story is the best ones
Story is good, just not the best
the story is cheesy as fuck ....pure cringe .. ..lmfao only a child would think otherwise
@@shaundavidssd AC's story has alway been cheesy, any AC vet knows that.
But, I have to agree with almost everyone, they just missed this one, they could have done a lot more but the focused more on the gameplay
Don't destroy me too hard but the one thing that I really liked about assault Horizon was the multiplayer having a mix of ground targets and are targets Ai thrown in there I'm fine with them having a Team Deathmatch and a free for all but you don't feel like you're battling anything other than another random person online where the assault Horizon had you feel like you were participating in some sort of battle. But that's just how I feel about it.
Yeah, the multiplayer in Ace Combat 7 is a major downgrade compared to both Assault Horizon and Infinity, it just doesn't have as much to offer compared to them. Still fun, but they definitely need to add more variety in later updates.
@@rueryuzaki9917 Why didn't they just like, port infinity over to ps4? it was actually a passable entry. could have just gotten all those modes (maybe even player dara, callsigns paintjobs etc.) so we would have all the co-op missions, imagine all that content from the get go only now its not attached to some f2p BS. Buy the full game, you get 20 campaign missions and a loaded MP ready to rock. Sadly thats not how it played out.
At least we get the best controls and audio/visuals in the series in exchange, you win some you lose some.
@@Zezinizzle Tell me about it, Infinity would've had so much more to offer. 7 is a good game, don't get me wrong, but just remembering how much more Infinity had just saddens me.
In defense on the timer part, those missions need some 'strategy', eg. The fleet mission, you need to strike the core of those platform to accumulate mass points. Same as the oil tanks mission, shoot the big oil tank to trigger mass explosion.
I did my first play thur on normal mostly because of the story do feel it lacked a little compared to other Ace C games but it was harder at time an didn't have a repetitive feel to it. It really kept things mixed
That last little montage with the song was getting me in my feels for the game, right up until I saw him flying too low and knew exactly what was about to happen. Because I do the same thing alllll the time
Man your video style and humor are amazing. Subbed for more!
I’ve been subbed to you for while now on my main channel account. Just want to say your a great content creator. Love your videos man
Thanks so much for this. I needed a review that told me the game was worth my 85 dollars without spoiling it while I wait for February 1st
I still wonder, how that princess survived? By the way, why a princess need to go to that tower and jump from it? Sorry I was too busy shooting those UAVs. Waiting for your story review.
This was actually one of the dumbest moments in the story. It came just out of nowhere and led to nothing. Just a dumb stunt without consequence.
@@SkinnyBlackout Yeah, dude. I thought it was my poor English skill (I am from China and bought the US version). But after I replayed that mission, I still don't get it....... :P

The ones who said AC7 is hard are probably the ones that got used in AC: Assault Horizon's DFM
How the fuck did I go through the whole campaign without knowing about the maneuvers?
- Blu_Pixel - Me too but I actually preformed it accidentally many times.
Wow, an actual game review
And all the Ace Combat fans said, Amen.
2:32 so every Ace Combat game story till now. Awesome can't wait.
It's a decent story, but they try a bit too hard to make it like 3 and 5 at the same time. That, and they kind of go on a, to put it kindly, a character killing spree.
I was fine with the story, as the "color" portion of it was told through 4 people with different viewpoints, different information, and (within limited time) showed how the events of the war changed them.
Then there was the story told within the briefings and while in-flight, where even the tone of the commanders conveyed the situation and the confusion that can occur during war with limited communication/information.
Hoping Namco Sounds puts this album on iTunes. Fingers crossed.
Matthew Callahan I’m still waiting for them to do that with AC 04’s soundtrack
As a newcomer to the franchise I thought it was a fuckin blast. The dogfights were fun even if I still don't know everything. I had only a few minor timer issues my real complaint was some enemy spawns on like one mission and one of those red 1 min timers
This. This is it chief.
Surprised you didnt talk about the soundtrack, probably one of the best in 2019
Okay quality quotes from 7: "Scrap Queen" Avril, "I am going to tell my kid this" Jager, "Stick with Trigger and you'll make it" Tabloid. "Solitary" "Convicts" Commander Mckinsey. Of course not Ace Combat 6 level of cringe but weirdly resembles in plot structure with a dash of pacing problems, and unresolved plot threads.. Also the Assault Records are a step down from 6.
Got some advise for ya:
Go dance with an angel.
SA80SLAYER not sabo Oh yeah Trigger is always called buddy but I am not buying. Trigger is not a buddy he is the mule that does all the work while the allies sit back and take credit.

All of the comments talking about the good ol' days and how great it is to see an old dog learn a few new tricks. It's a beautiful sight to be sure. I remember those days. I remember how I thought that the future of gaming would have all sorts of titles like this one but with crazy graphics dialed up to 11 and dynamic gameplay that was so realistic that it would rival actually going out and doing the real thing. Boy how wrong I was. While AC7 doesn't live *entirely* up to the Holy Trinity of AC, it serves a greater purpose. Games like this one, Doom, and Spyro Reignited Trilogy serve as beacons of the Golden Age of Gaming. A reminder of what things were like back then, and what gaming has lost as a whole. Looking back, I would never have thought that gaming would eventually be exploited by old men in suits and their multi-billion dollar enterprises for the soul purpose of taking cash out of our wallets. Thank goodness for companies like Project Aces and their devoted teams who through all of this time, have been looking down on us. This comment goes out to them, and to many great gaming titles to come.
Are we gonna get a review of Ace Combat: Ghost of Kyiv?
I wish the story was better but lets be honest, we play acecombat for the gameplay. The story is just context for the gameplay xD
I didn’t notice any pop-in for the graphics side of the house, but the frame rate drop on missions with many targets. I game in the XboneX
my favorite is when you buy the season pass that just contains a music play which you can find on the internet now and they dont actually add content to it so they become EA2
AC7 is fun. Out of the 20 campaign missions (most finished in about the 10-15 minute range) there are only a few worth replaying. There are at least 3 extremely annoying missions that I dread having to replay for the collectibles. (Can't go above clouds or you die, scavenger hunt in desert for invisible trucks, etc.). The score attack missions are the most fun (unfortunately, one of those is the hunt for invisible trucks mission which happens after the score attack part.) One of the missions is an escort mission with invisible SAM sites you have to find (yeah no, I googled a map and said F that after failing once.)
I really.... REALLY wish there was another campaign or at least more missions. I'm not much of an online player, so I was a bit disappointed in the play time of the game. However, people are actually figuring out how to mod this game (just cosmetic so far) so I'm really... really hoping that they figure out how to add more singleplayer content. The story is.... confusing to say the least. Most of the time I ignored it and just "shot the red things" and that seemed to work out pretty well. The different planes feel different and control differently, so that's good. It's a shame that the planes are all locked to 3 weapons (out of a bunch total). It makes some high tier planes just not worth playing because the weapons available to it suck.
In the end, I'm not sure if I'd pay full price for it again, not unless they release more content or the modders figure out a way to add content into the game.
I clicked on the ad to give you more money
You’re welcome cheif
Love your stuff man. Would you ever consider reviewing Ace Combat 3 (Electrosphere)
Don't complain about the story! It gave birth to the best AWACS in the entire saga.
I think he'll throw me into solitary for saying this
So happy Ace Combat and Soulcalibur came back from their slumber. Now we need Ridge Racer to return as well.....Maybe even Cybersled and Time Crisis. Give me a Time Crisis VR
That acapella was so *beautiful...*. it brought tears to my eyes.
Yeah.. I'm gonna need a full hour long minute of your outro there bud. Thaaanks.
I'm glad someone pointed out some of the mission timers, that's my biggest complaint of the game. Its not fun having 10 minutes to get 25,000 points hitting different groups of targets separated by different distances. If I was using something faster than the A10 it might have been easier though so maybe thats the trick.
I disagree, the story is really good.
If you compare It with the other games is a big down specially against ace combat 5
@@martincf9147 To be honest I like AC7's story more than AC5's.
If they made Mihaly's backstory with a twist of him being yellow 13 then it would've been good
@@skylerrutherford9870 That would've sucked. That's awful fan-fic stuff right there. That's the cringey kind of fan service ruins characters. Yellow 13 died in battle at the hands of a pilot he deemed worthy, and he fell over the capital city of his nation. That's beautiful. Mihaly being Yellow 13 would've ruined that.
It's pretty okay 👌
Why would a military let convicts use in real life multi million dollar Jets like the F 22 A Raptor which in real life cost 330 million dollars. So why does a penal unit have expensive planes if im expendable then give me a prop plane with a machine gun attached to it.
Wait wait... I'm sure I can't be the only one who dreamed to play Ace combat in virtual reality one day, and it's barely a footnote or ten second mention here??
I just finished the story of the game a week ago and I had a lot of fun learning about this game and the world it takes place in. But I got hit with 5 lightning strikes and almost broke my controller, but other then that I loved this game
At least it has a story unlike black ops 4 ™
I just beat Hard mode with just the F-14. Except for the first two mission, needed some cash to buy her.
Literally, just the F-14 in full cockpit view. Mostly use the Phoenix missile and the guided bomb unit throughout the whole campiagn.
It's was exhilarating, and love every experience on it, Highway to the Dangerzone
That last clip🤣
I mean, you gotta end the video somehow!
What did you personally feel about the "Protect the NPC" missions? I only failed Score Attack and Escort missions, with the prior being due to not having good planes and the latter being entirely not fair in the slightest.I've played too much ace combat in my life to be finger waggled 'u didn du it rite' every three missions.
What's not fair about the single escort mission in the game? It's fairly easy to do even on ace difficulty lol
Yeah honestly the story was my only real gripe. It didnt really evoke the same amount of interest and emotion from me as the PS2 games did. But the music, characters, graphics, etc were top notch and made the presentation as amazing as I'd expect from an Ace Combat game.
For real tho it's wild how pretty much every Ace Combat game has 10/10 music.
This was my first Ace Combat game
I forgot that I was playing on hard mode on my first playthrough. It's easy enough if you know that you can't fire at an enemy flying perpendicular to you.
Never stops me trying though, gotta spam those missiles.
Them being a-holes with lack of joystick compatibility outside the couple they marketed for the game (aka what most people who waited for the pc release for only to get slapped in the face) is my biggest issue with this game. I LOVE looking at my logitech extreme 3d flight stick and not being able to use it on an air combat game!
Would you consider doing a review of Ace combat 3 NTSC-J with the NEMO patch?
You should do an in depth review of the 3 DLC missions
They contain enough content to make a video on those 3 mission themselves they are that amazing and very long
I loved the story ;(. Best one in my opinion besides 5
Oh my god. I am so going to be able to buy this game someday :D
Is that humming for intk the dusk or journey begins? I cant tell 😂
Great video, thanks for keeping it real... subscribed.
Someone please please tell me what is that music name at 3:47
It's not a real song it's made for the game. Sos
One week to go, getting the deluxe edition (I want the F4E) and can’t bloody wait.
3:36 are we talking about the same fanservice? UwU
what's the name of that song at the end???
So the Cuphea survivors can't handle a bit flying as well? Maybe they should just stick with Pong or memory puzzles instead. But I can kinda see why people will find the control scheme a bit difficult, given the fact that someone that played any of those games before already knows the drill and there is almost no modern flightsimulator on the PS4. But whatever happened to the cliffhanger from Infinity? I thought that was a bit more than just a tech demo and PR for this game...
I liked the story tbh. It's true it's a bit cheesy and it has some plot holes but no Ace Combat is safe from that, maybe only Zero. My main problem with it is that it tries too hard to be AC5, both stories have way too many simmilarities.
-Osea caught by surprise and then on the counteroffensive? Check.
-Civilian characters caught in the middle of all this are the ones that tell most of the story? Check.
-Osea has not one, but TWO superweapons that are lost to the enemy and must be destroyed or stopped somehow? Check.
-Everything was a Belkan conspiracy in the end? Check.
-There is a major event that makes you lose contact with the military and work more or less on your own for a greater cause? Check.
And I'm sure there might be even more simmilarities. Mind you, I think the story wasn't bad, but not really good either.
While mission difficulty because of time limits is debatable, I find dogfights pretty easy. I mean on my first playthrough I managed to beat Mihaly on hard with an A-10
Challenge alert, get as hammered as you can possibly get without needing medical attention and then try to do the last mision in ace mode, everyone in the group puts 10$, whoever wins get it all Now u have a plan for tomorrow
2:54
F22: Really good looking stealth badass plane, will definitely fuck you up.
F35: haha look he a fat boi haha he tiny lol look at him go
so basically, the game is a great comeback for the series but still doesn't reach the same heights as the PS2 trilogy...
@BLACK ICEYOU better than 6
It's up there with them, but it doesn't quite surpass them.
@@khadijarassa1865 I actually disagree with that. I would call it equal to 6. The mechanics, graphics and writing of 7 are definitely better. However, the gameplay of 6 was rock-solid and the superweapon battles were leagues better than what 7 offered.

Spacenoid Veterano Eh, can’t rebuild Rome in a day ya know.

*Trigger has kicked the bucket*
(SPOILERS in an angry rant, beware)
Can we just comment for a second how all the SOL squadron survived (including Mihaly) but any of those that where with you or just hunted by Mihaly didn't make it? (Brownie, Chomp, Wiseman) It really pisses me off. Are my fucking missiles made out of wet paper? Also, the totally unecesary death of Tabloid at the end (that we didn't even get to see).
Btw, the princess's "death" when she jumps from the space elevator was so disrespectful and unexpected I couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes, just to be extremely mad that they "killed her" in that way. It makes me even angrier that she somehow survived what seemed to be a missile to the face. I was also really mad with the tunnel phase because my PS4 controler sometimes steers to the left for no real reason, crashing my plane unless I'm fast enough to counteract it. Older ACs tunnel phases weren't as freaking tight as this.
Edit: On the topic of getting hit by lightning I can say: Only twice? Cute. I got hit 3 times in a row in the same attempt, until I crashed because of the last one.
D. Hunter Yeah Farbanti was just bullshit.
I thought Sol 2 was killed in the final mission, I could be wrong though.
@@rueryuzaki9917 You may be right, since in the last mission my focus was destroying the drones as fast as posible. I wasn't paying too much attention to the radio. What I meant was that whenever I tried to shoot the SOL squadron they somehow survived. Two times.
@@dhuntermg That is true, it is annoying that they seem to have invincibility whenever you fight them; and even if you shoot them down, they, most likely, survive.
the biggest lesson given by ace combat 7 in terms of game design: "If it's not broken, don't try to fix it"
The game was hard the first playthrough for me. Ace Combat 6 is still difficult for me. (Granted I didn't play it more than once) 7 and 6 have a good amount of DNA in common, specifically the enemy spam.
OH GOD, THE ARSENAL BIRD, OH GOD *Gets hit by 20 missiles at once on Stonehenge Defensive*
