Aw yeah.  I simply adore the music for this series as its amazingly solid through and through. Yes, I even like the ACAH soundtrack quite a bit.  However, you seem to have posted the wrong image for the Mitsubishi F-1. That's a Japanese F-4EJ. Dr. Snark posted:On the plus side, it does have one of the best (if not the best) soundtracks in the series, so there is that! I think AC5 has it beat as a whole but Zero does have some amazing tracks as we'll hear. Heck, one of my favourite ones, Glacial Skies, is featured in this mission.

You actually used the  Draken in the first mission too. Fun Draken fact  , the plane was withdrawn from active service as late as 2005. In this case it was the Austrian airforce which retired theirs with F-5 Tiger II's until they got Eurofighter Typhoons.I may or may not try to sprinkle in some extra fun facts about Swedish fighter aircraft present in this game as I'm pretty sure the Drakens successor, the Saab 37 Viggen or Thunderbolt is also present in one of these games alongside the JAS-39 Gripen. Cythereal posted:Oh dear. All I know about this series is that it inspired the HAWX games and has some very silly superweapons as bosses. As I mentioned back when I LPed that series the HAWX games ripped a ton of stuff from the Ace Combat series. I mostly noticed stuff I recognized from AC5 but I'm sure several other parallels can be found as this progresses. nine-gear crow posted:Just don't give me poo poo about my flying style Eh, I wouldn't worry too much. No one really game me much gruff for my flying in HAWX. DivineCoffeeBinge posted:I'm delighted to see this series getting an LP; I look forward to seeing it get to 4 and 5 where I might actually have something interesting to say because I've actually played those games. Aside from this mission in AC0 I've only played AC5 to completion and most of ACAH. Something that should once again be commented on is the music because a lot of the tracks have some great Spanish influences to them with castanets as heard in Glacial Skies. Also, a couple of years ago I worked on an F-15C plastic kit that I had lying around and I couldn't resist making a slight altercation to it when I painted it:  It was a cold and snowy day... Also, here's two photos I took from a Flight day last year at a nearby airforce base.   That, and the rest of the stuff I saw, was worth the sunburn.

VolticSurge posted:Speaking of the HAWX LP's , I still miss those vids. Someone really should re-upload them at some point. Anyways, looking forward to the rest of the LP! Even though PCSX2 is not a real PS2,I'll try to play along to the best of my abilities. You know I'd love to but the problem is that back when I did them I used the fact that blip didn't really care too much about the music copyrights like YT does and that makes it hard to upload them anywhere without pretty much all of them being muted. I have all the footage still but there's no real place for me to upload them. Had I the will for it I'd probably want to redo them all for YT and this time remember to turn on subtitles for HAWX2 from the start.

So I took the previously mentioned advice and uploaded the HAWX videos to Youtube. Out of 38 videos only two got completely muted and one got slapped with a restriction making it unwatchable outside the US and Japan. To any German viewers, I'm sorry. Let's Play H.A.W.X. Let's Play H.A.W.X. 2 Also uploaded the Halo LPs and my Chaos Theory one as well for those interested. Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Nov 24, 2015 |

Night10194 posted:To me the fundamental problem with HAWX is that it in no way 'gets' that Ace Combat is Mecha But With Jets. It doesn't embrace the melodrama and specific, earnest kind of dumbness that makes Ace Combat feel so endearing and positive. I mean it's obvious that they have looked at Ace Combat quite intently during the development of both games. Look at the Rio de Janeiro mission for instance, it has enemy ace squadrons and the AC style overheard radio communications. Only for this to never ever appear again at any point. So yeah, they're obviously inspired by it but they fail to get it. If you combined a lot of the stuff from both HAWX games and threw out the overly gimmick parts like the jamming in one and the atrocious drone parts from 2 you could have a decent AC-like game. I mean the end fight for HAWX 2 would fit in Ace Combat really well.

The Casualty posted:In the first GRAW (and the first mission of HAWX, for that matter) aren't you fighting Mexico? First GRAW had evil Mexicans. Second GRAW had evil Mexicans that then got replaced by an evil PMC. Ubisoft's Clancy writers had a huge hard-on for evil PMCs for a while there between 2005 and 2010 IMJack posted:Too much Call of Duty influence, then. That's the feeling I got particularly from the drone parts. Well yeah, I joked and commented about that fact constantly while doing HAWX2. The references are obvious even if you willingly ignore the AC-130 level. Something which ACAH honestly did a lot better. I'd be amazed if you could even fail the one in HAWX2 at any point. Only difference is that it took Modern Warfare two more games to get back at Russia while HAWX2 did it in one. SIGSEGV posted:The Crenshaw Counter was the best character. I attribute the fact that they even mentioned Shade once throughout the entire LP to luck.

VKing posted:Also don't forget the Saab 37 Viggen (confusingly existing in both JA-37 and AJ-37 designations) that was the canonical (so to speak) successor to the J-35. The truth lies in the name. AJ-37 in this case is Attack/Jakt-37 or Attacker/Fighter-37. So a ground attack aircraft with a secondary fighter role. JA-37 in this case is Jakt/Attack-37 or Fighter/Attacker-37. The inverse to the AJ-37 with the aircraft being primary interceptor/fighter aircraft and attacker being secondary. The F/A-18 Hornet does something similar in this case. I was going to point out the same, the Viggen (Thunderbolt) is closer to being the replacement for the Draken. The Gripen is the replacement for the Viggen because it combines Viggen's multirole idea into a single aircraft. Which is also why it's called JAS-39 as JAS stands for Jakt (Fighter) Attack (Attacker) Spaning (Recon).

I was debating earlier if I was going to write something about Swedish aircraft and such or just quote what Fluff has posted in the Cold War thread on TFR to save me the hassle. Fun fact I forgot to mention in full way earlier, both HAWX games are no longer available anywhere digitally. Even from Uplay/Ubisoft. Clearly they wanted to wash away the shame of it.

JcDent posted:Auto, could you notify Baldurk? He could update the Archive with the correct links. If anything I should do it with the Halo and SCCT LPs. But the problem with HAWX is that a bunch of the videos are blocked and a bunch are outright muted as well so I'm not sure if it's really worth it. Although to be fair I did expect this to happen and I'm more surprised that many videos slipped through without getting muted or seriously blocked. Still kind of miffed that one of the GITS:SAC tracks was one of the blocked ones. I thought it fitted so well with Maelstrom.  If I had a DVD drive to reinstall both games I'd try my best to maybe redo the LP completely but I don't and the games are neigh impossible to find legally digitally.

Psion posted:the Bone mission was awesome, and the second helicopter mission was like 2000000000x better than the first. You just tear through it like some sort of helicopter-borne Explosive Death Lord. I remember having some issues with the Bone mission because I always overcompensate whenever I twitch slightly with a flightstick. Don't think I failed the low level flight part but it was close at least a couple of times. To be honest I liked both helicopter missions.  Even if the Moscow one was a lot better.Psion posted:Yeah, they did a great job with atmosphere and since it was the first of its type, it didn't make everyone eyeroll at Yet Another AC-130 level like most of the me-too follow-ons in future CoD games and/or future not-CoD games. I assume there was at least one in MW3 or such because the only ones I encountered after CoD4 were HAWX2 and ACAH. But then HAWX2 didn't really disguise the fact that it cribbed heavily from CoD4 and such. I mean yes ACAH did it too but it wasn't as blunt about it.

ninjahedgehog posted:Isn't the Royal Navy also partially to blame? Theoretically, the DOD could tell the Navy's Army's Air Force to gently caress off back to the kid's table but the Brits do actually need a STOVL (short take-off, vertical landing) fighter because their carriers don't have catapults. Nah, that's because the Brits hosed up majorly with their new carriers with such amazing decisions such as mothballing their entire Harrier fleet and building two different types of carriers because I'm pretty sure the second one is supposed to come equipped with an EMALS catapult because they can't provide enough power for a steam one. I'm sure someone can drag up a good post from the Cold War thread about it because it's a really embarrassing tale of stupid military procurement.
