Ace Combat 6

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Picked this up yesterday, and so far it's great. Graphics are amazing, as seen in the demo. The gameplay, though pretty much unchanged from previous entries in the series, is solid. There's a new ability to call in support fire on various targets if you meet certain objectives, but I haven't progressed far enough yet to see what that entails.

There's the usual silly storyline bookending the missions, but so far it's at least a little bit engaging and not nearly as overwrought as it might have been. The cut-scenes use the game engine, not CGI, and are surprisingly detailed. Still, I wish they'd just bite the bullet and set this in non-fictional countries. I mean "Gracemeria"? C'mon already.

I'm only a few missions in, and haven't touched multiplayer yet, but as of right now I'd give it a firm 8. More when I've delved a little deeper...

I didn't want Singer's thread to go unpopulated.

I'm much too busy to try this game, though.

Screw that.

Did you name your character "Goose" or "Ice Man"?

Pshtaw. I'm guessing he went with Christopher Blair, myself. Even with the appalling lack of Kilrathi in AC6.

We don't get this title in Australia until the 30th of November. Would be interested to hear some thoughts on the multi-player co-op missions when you guys start looking into them as that's what I'm looking forward to the most.

I beat it last night. Great game, with some long, LONG missions. There's a few good 'oh fuck me' moments as well.

Too bad the plot/story/dialog is fucking terrible. Don't get me wrong, the pacing of the actual GAME is aces, just the writing of the cutscenes is cringe-worthy.
