So, this is my first go-around with the Ace Combat series, and it looks really fun. Crow's definitely showing off his expertise with how he tends to dance around the enemy(for the most part). It's really entertaining. And with co-commentators, the commentary is really fresh too. But yeah, the story is... It's not good, and it really doesn't portray the 'good guys' as veritable angels, does it? Is that gonna change, or is this gonna be a very ooh-rah go war kind'a game?

Dr. Snark posted:Like I said in the video, that's probably millions of *insert currency here* worth of damage between the destruction of the rigs and the gallons of lost oil, all during an operation to retake said oil field, and that's before you factor in environmental damage like other posters pointed out. Sometimes you have to destroy the country to save it. The Emmerians would agree that the stuff they bought with their tax dollars make pretty explosions, just like how my rap sheet will look better with two probations after I go dance with the angels one more time.

Hi there. I know nothing about these games and I don't have much to contribute to conversation (mainly I'm just here to enjoy the spectacle of the thread), but I did remember something I saw a long time ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3u6l5y6VFI&t=50s If I have to pay the tax for this, then I will graciously accept it.

Lazy Bear posted:The gently caress is an angel, and why should I dance with it? Hey, show some loving respect. We're talking about angels and dancing in here, those are two wholesome subjects that don't need that kind of negativity. Get pious and take some ballet lessons, you uncultured brute. Also I just want it stated for the record that all of my angels-related posts in this thread are shitposts and do not fall into the category of "genuine discussion." Tax the gently caress out of me because I never want the stigma of having earnest conversation about a meme involving dancing with the angels in a poorly translated japanese game about airplanes.

Good to see Yellow Squadron and the Kid showing up in another game, although I can't say I like the new art direction. For a bit of serious discussion, it feels like Ace Combat 6 really doesn't want you to be the Main Character, in an almost passive-aggressive manner. Like, in 04, you were Jesus, in 5, you were Big drat Action Hero, in Zero, you were King Arthur; in 6, you're Ground Support's Flyboy. Even if you make the argument that Kei Nagase is the real main character of 5, she's still, you know, subordinate to you and her role in the story is one without agency. In 6, at least so far, it's not only "you're not the most important person in the world," but "you're just one of this very big crowd of people affected by the war." Except you aren't really affected by the war. You're not the little girl's dad or Melissa/Matilda/Idon'tcareenougha's husband. You're not Vostyock's personal nemesis. You're not the guy playing off the tank squadron. It's like the game is trying to have its cake and eat it, too; trying to be both an impersonal war story about the way the masses react to war, and a personal war story about the cast of, let's generously call them "characters" but more realistically "cutouts," you're following. Imagine if Talisman had been Melissa's husband. Then all of these things make a lot more sense - Vostyock's connection to Daughter and Wife becomes a more personal and touching moment for you as you unpack Talisman's distant relationship with his family and his duty coming before them in all things; Daughter and Wife become actual characters coping with the tension between Talisman and them as Talisman becomes more and more lynchpin in a war that they know is important; Tank Guys become actual characters when their paths inevitably cross with Daughter during their robbery. It feels very much like another case of this game trying to achieve something it wasn't capable of achieving. I don't think they were lax or rushed on the story; I think they were trying to tell a narrative that the game simply couldn't support once they made the decision to stick to one part of the Ace Combat formula (Faceless Protagonist) and departed from every other thing that made the Golden Trilogy strong (a powerful central narrative, arc words that applied to the main character). It's kind of a shame; it would be a lot more interesting to give Talisman a face and a voice of his own so that you, the player, could interact with the narrative more directly. EDIT: To be really clear, I've played exactly one mission of this game before (and it was the first one, and I sucked at it) and I'm mostly just guessing about Daughter and Tank Crew, so if these are spoilers, I have no idea.

Being forced to deal with this "Angel Dance" crap all the time from civilians who aren't lifting a one drat finger to help liberate the country they claim to love oh-so-much is more than enough to justify Talisman's homicidal behavior. Also, Shamrock physically blocking his lead's missiles from hitting their target makes him more treacherous than Pixy. The real story of the Golden King probably has similar roots, with some crazy awesome cavalry general probably spending several months fighting with scorched earth tactics, hit-and-runs, and hunting down enemy officers whenever they went out to try and stop him and/or scout the area. Thanks to his efforts, the enemy army was reduced to shambles, and the leading general set out to try and kill the person responsible, resulting in some awesome duel, presumably with the enemy general having some prototype monster repeating crossbow. While that was going on, the Golden King was dragging out his ridiculous golden armor, army in tow: the enemy saw that creepy smile on the armor and assumed it was their own general, who must have been captured and brutally murdered by pouring gold onto him via a metal cast, prompting them to surrender. By the time the invading general was killed by the heroic defender, the Golden King had gotten all the credit for winning without battle among the actual population.

I, on the other hand, think the mods aren't being brutal enough. I can count three separate instances of blatant tax evasion from my person alone, and I'm sure others in this thread have been allowed to fester in their law-breaking with no repercussion. Stop letting us be criminals, mods
