I fired up Ace Combat Zero tonight - what can I say, bloody brilliant! :D
The flight model and physics are even better than AC04, if that's possible,and the wingman stuff actually makes sense this time around. I'm now gutted that I've waited so long to play this game - AC5 really dented my confidence in the series - it was only Ace Combat X that's got me playing again.
Really happy with ACZ six missions in - thanks for the heads up, Andy. :+
Ive never played AC4 so I dont know how difficulties are set out. On ace combat the hardest difficulty you start with is hard. Complete the game on hard and you unlock expert difficulty - one missile will kill while enemies take two. Beat expert and you get Ace. This is mostly Expert but with much harder AI.
Ive been playing since it came out and the Ace sqraudrons are really fun. ^^ Especially the last group. Btw, what ace sqaud did you fight first?
Too bad I cant play online.
Hope you enjoy it
Grun squadron, I think their name was.
I completed AC04 in ace mode, shooting down every ace pilot at that level, too, so you could say I'm a veteran at the harder levels.
Yep, Grun squadron are good. Those flares can be very annoying.
I'd recommend flying against rot team though as when you beat them you can buy the eurofighter typhoon which is immense and easily my favourite. I've done well over 999 sorties in my eurofighter and my sortie count has turned to pacmen and ghosts (damn you namco!!!).
heh! :D
I thought Grun squadron were okay - not too hard, considering I was in one of the three default planes (the one with the big numbers on top), which has the turning circle of a barge.
I've bought an F/A 18 before mission 4A which, along with the F-22 and AC04's X-02, is probably my favourite plane, so I'll see how I get on with that. Looking forward to seeing what the X-02 flies like with ACZ's flight model, but from the FAQ it looks like I have a couple of runs through the game to go before obtaining that.
I take it that your ace style dictates which squadrons you get?
So far I'm ranking pretty high in the Knight area - I guess it's because I've not been hitting yellow targets, plus I've been letting the odd enemy plane get away once they've been "neutralised". If I played it the way I play AC04 (the only thing left at the end is a smouldering outline of the terrain I happened to be fighting over), then I guess I'd be in the Mercenary area, instead. :D
That's how I play. ^^
That's right, your ace style determines which ace sqaudron you fly against each time you fly at the round table. I was a knight first as well. The game lasts much longer because you have to replay the game as different ace styles to fly against all of the ace sqaudrons.
I also think Grun are easy as they don't gang up against you as quickly as the later sqaudrons do and they don't really have an offensive special weapon. Then again they wouldn't put a rock solid squadron at the start of the game in order to give new players a chance. It's only when you start flying at the higher diffficulties and on the gauntlet that their skills start to shine through.
My favourite teams to fight are gault, espada and wizard. Also, the little intros for ace sqaudrons are just plain classy. :D
My favourite planes are the Eurofighter, the SU 47 Berkut, SU 37 Terminator and the MiG 31. :)
Ace Combat series, Grand Theft Auto series, Worms series, Socom (psp), just got into UT (unreal tournament), sometimes Doom 1/2 ...I think that covers it all. :pc
EDIT:
I love my classic games too - Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Sonic the Hedgehog, Road Rash, Tony Hawk series, Pong ;), Asteriods, Q*Bert, Tetris, Tempest, Breakout, Pitfall, Yar's Revenge - the list could go on (I love video games :D)
I play Unreal Tournament (GOTY) and Quake 3, Starcraft and Dark Reign 2, and some serious old-school like Boulderdash, Kid Chamelion and Populous... I would be playing UT2004 but I need a new PC :(
I'm currently hooked on Elder Scrolls Oblivion. Needs a beast of a system to play it with any decent graphics, but it's such an addictive game. Recently picked up an X1950XTX so it runs just lovely :D
I've been playing the bit generations games on the GBA. Check them out if you're into retro style vector graphics etc.
Other than wipeout I play lego star wars, Canis Canem Edit, The warriors, Metal gear 3, portable ops, M.G.AC!D and urban chaos: riot response.And oblivion, resistance, and mobile suit gundam: target in sight (fifty quid that was!)
Hehehe umm, right now im doing:
WoW (PC)
WoP (PSP)
F1 Champ (PS3)
GTHD (PS3)
Tiger Woods Golf (PS3)
Currently waiting on:
New GTA
Wo Pulse
New FIFA
GT Prologue!!!!!
WoHD
I play:
Metroid
F1 CE
Sly Cooper
Lumines
Okami (probably the best one here)
XGRA
And that's about it! :)
Games I normally play aside from Wipeout:
- Soul Calibur III
- Tekken 5 arcade
- NHL '94
- Burnout Revenge would be but there's no way to have any casual fun with it in single-player mode. Waiting for Burnout: Paradise
- TrackMania Nations ESWC 2007
Now playing (ignore the fact i started the thread, ive changed my game tastes for the moment):
Wipeout Pure
W40K: DoW: Dark Crusade (never actually played warhammer before lol)
Counter Strike: Source
Warcraft 3
Play every so often:
TM Nations
UT04
Waiting on:
Wipeout Pulse (who wouldn't?)
Wipeout HD
Unreal Tournament 3
All Wipeouts at times,
Lumines II,
Every Extend Extra (But it pisses me off!!!!),
Tomb Raider (currently the first one),
the first Resident Evil,
Intelligent Qube, and if I had them,
Medal of Honor and Call of Duty!!!
Oh ya, Tekken 4,
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence,
Final Fantasy X,
Kindom Hearts stuff,
I have other games, but I really can't think of them right now. They must not be important enough... :p
Right now I'm trying to get into FFXII, but I'm struggling. It's stupid to force yourself to play/ like a game, but I only try so hard to justify the money I spent on it. Although I finished every FF since Legends 2 on the GB, I just can't get warm with XII. 25€ and it's yours ;)
other games I switch back and forth to over the course of a day:
Virtua Tennis 3 (psp)
Archer McLean's Mercury (psp)
Every Extend Extra (psp)
Guitar Hero I+II(ps2)
ProEvo 5 (xbox)
Civ IV (pc)
Bit Generations - dot stream (gba)
In the nights it's mostly WO3 and watching our boys (Austria) at the U20 World Cup in Canada.
And yes, it's my holidays right now, in case someone wonders about the spare time I got at my hands. 3 months baby, from july to october \o/
P.S. What pisses you of with EEE Chill? I only managed to play through it one single time. Struggle sooner or later on any boss, and I don't wanna use continues much due to the fact to unlock stages for caravan mode and of course high scores (which is what we play those games for, right?)
I've always been into the Football Manager (ex-Championship Manager) series and go through periods where I will play it religiously haha
Also play a lot of Lumines II, Virtua Fighter 5, Pro Evolution Soccer series, Castlevanias on DS... really looking forward to Pulse obviously, GTAIV, BioShock and Fallout 3.
Play a lot of different games across a variety of genres, can't remember them all off top of head though!
Hey Chill! A few weeks ago I've bought FFX, too. I'm now totally into that game and have already spent over 90 hours playing it. Truly a great game! :nodQuote:
