The whole game felt like a huge step back.

My big complaint with AC7 is how little dogfighting you get to actually do in the campaign, with multiplayer also being fairly lacking compared to the last games, and I really missed the allied assault/defense features from AC6. Feels like all the distractions from the core gameplay in AH go further to weaken it than the gimmicks in 7's missions ever do, even aside from DFM. Definitely works better as an arcade game than as a full console release.Ĭurious why you think AH is better than 7, though, if you don't mind me asking. Hadn't realized until just now it was an arcade port of Assault Horizon, but it makes sense. I managed to play it a couple weeks back. They replaced Markov with The Russian Navy though so no dogfighting nukes in DC, just dogfighting around it The bonus mission being 'you've got 8AAMs now lmao gently caress poo poo up' was a fun treat too I had the good fortune to play the Ace Combat Assault Horizon arcade cabinet today and let me tell you as much as I like DFM mode and AssHor as a whole (honestly generally better than AC7, though AC7 has higher highs) it makes more sense and works way better in an arcade pod lmao. HER NAME WAS SUZIE SHE DREW A BIG WEINER ON MY FOREHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASK ME ABOUT THE TIME A GIRL BEAT ME UP IN GRADE SCHOOL. I LIKE TO MAKE VAGUE THREATS TO PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET BECAUSE I AM TOUGH GUY. Howver I still think that AC would be a way more successful franchisr if it leaned on co-op MP with missions released for free and then selling planes and skins as DLC I thought DFM was actually really good in MP and AH had better PVP MP than all the other ace combats. Especially with their huge hp pools when you do get to kill them Started playing through assault horizon again and aside from liking the feel of lower end planes and the overall game a lot better, the way things just hit turbo boost and take off like man of a thousand names and the drones makes it feel like dfm was going to be in 7 but got pulled right at the last minute. Let me know when they pay you to play it and maybe I'll consider it. Av paid for by the firensd of lowtax spine foundation
