Forums - Gaming Discussion - Ace Combat series. What is it and where to start? Never played but curious

This is a series I never played. Know little about it. Are they very arcadey? Or Armored Core with jets? Is 7 a good place to start?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

It's no sim but great in VR! It's very arcady with waves of enemies that are designed to overwhelm you if you take your time. The flight model is pretty simple with L2 to brake or slow down and R2 to speed up or boost. It's pretty hard to stall the plane, landings are very easy and never required, ammo seems infinite. It's no IL-2 Sturmovik but fun in short blasts.



Yes, 7 is fine place to start.  It's also the most easily accessible.  It's a pretty fun game, too.  The last one I played before 7 was 4.  Not including assault horizon, which people say is bad.  I didn't play it enough to make a good opinion on it, but I do like AC7 very much.  Great soundtrack, and great gameplay.

How dare you! Also I think Zero for me was the best place to start. Six also stands alone by itself. Some of the geopolitical elements of 4,5, and 7 can be considered linked but all of them can stand by itself. 



 

Mission 444 is awful
