Forum Overview :: Ace Combat 5

Okay so far the game is better than the previous games in every way. by Jhoh Clbbl O_____O 12/01/2007, 3:03am PST The HUD actually is hard to see and it can be tough to tell which of the hundreds of little target circles is blinking to tell you which target you're actually firing at. Aside from that, I don't see why you'd even need a HUD. HUDs are for NEWBS. Anyway they added actual importance to the landing and taking off, because you can do it in the middle of combat when friendlies capture friendly airstrips so you can repair and rearm and go right back into shit while enemies are fuckin fighting it out with like A FUCKING THOUSAND ENEMIES AND FRIENDLIES IN FRONT OF YOU ALL STREAKING THROUGH THE AIR LEAVING SMOKE TRAILS and all sorts of visually amazing shit that has not previously existed in game history before and you take back off and get back into combat while this shit happens. Not only did they add that, which adds a lot to gameplay, but they added a new movement feature where you hold brake and throttle down at the same time and it lets you do what they call a High-G turn where you can turn faster than normal (great for tracking enemy jets) at the risk of stalling if you keep doing it too long (also the A10, which is still awesome, can only do this for like one second before stalling, because it is so very slow). And the explosions look fucking greater than ever. They are all big and hoosh and fuckin swee, but also they added even more effects like a faint rain of shrapnel and molten glass and shit from explosions, and smoke that hangs in the air basically for the entire battle, and the entire sky is full of anti-air fire and black explosion smoke and missile trails and jet trails. The story is terrible with unintentionally hilarious dialog that provides one embarrassed laugh several times a minute with characters talking in the most incredibly fruity metaphors and THE GREAT KING'S SMILE IS FADING FROM ME I AM EMPTY, but I fully expected this after playing the previous games anyway so really who cares.
