The ending of ace combat 8: (spoilers)

130

I think this whole thread can be summed up by “I expected more outta 70$ and 10 years later”. I expected more post Topgun Maverick too. Hyper fast Valkyrie x B1B bombers? Never explained. Kill em. Was that Belka??! Naa Sotoan. Oh. Ok. Never mentioned again.

Meme From Ghetto dan, and further analysis. Also lol the Mongolian singer.

But you know what? I'll give Ace combat 8 this: Keiki Kobayashi can still whip out some Banger music, And they changed things up this time and forwent the whole tunnel flying bullshit that was tradition in most of the previous games. To that I say THANK FUCKING GODDDD!

Project Aces, you need to stop using graphics heavy shit in unreal 5 and forced ray tracing. I beg you. Expecting that people will just go out and buy a 5080 like bananas from the store is not being responsible to your user base right now. (gif is from Assault Horizon)

This game desperately wants you to care about the carrier Endurance and feeds you a largely anti-climactic Final mission where you shoot down a submarine and- that's it. That is what follows the thousand man Sotan remnant air battle, and your boss fight with Moon 11. Mission order should be reversed

030

Your character never actually speaks. Cope is just a ghost that lives in your head. If this "Wings of Theve" thing is just a continuation of the propaganda arm aboard the Endurance, then why constantly talk about a guy the player has never really met? Everyone is in on the fact that cope is dead.

The mission to escort a space shuttle and go into space to take out the Tonitrus spear death laser was a total waste of time and did not actually matter. Because the enemy just has another one it uses to blast cities and ships OK? They should have committed to a change up space force mission.

The emotional beats with Severskaya were mostly unearned. She started crying and vomiting in her O2 mask over Kate during a life or death mission, and Ingo kept saying "Who was this bitch?" "Why are we supposed to feel sad?" and he's right. Because we spent most of our time with Baxter.

This will probably shock some of my fans in chat, but sometimes Airplanes are not enough. Project aces had a perfect opportunity to fill out the weapon tree with Museum classics, Nasa shit, and Belkan Super fighters, and chose to mainline the same shit they did 10 years ago. (DLC greed?)

Now that Ingo has finished ace combat 8, (I was spectating the whole time) My brutally Honest opinion is that Ace Combat 7 was objectively a more interesting story, with a better soundtrack, and better performance. I need more than a tweet to state my whole opinion here.

Mission 28: This game is actually about over funded mongol hordes and stealing shit. Your pilots will tell you that the five wings insignia means the “Hand of hope” but imo, since you spend most the game stealing back bases, its really “The five fingers of Discount” or “Wings of Thief”

031

Outside of my own Bluesky profile, my feed feels like an apartment in the projects part of town where people are screaming at 1Am in the parking lot that they will “Call the cops!!” and someone’s man called someone else a “bitch” and now they have to “settle things”. Sometimes really cool art ect.

1st world problems: Is it just me or do people just be out there announcing their games too early? Only 2 of these has any kind of release ball park. (Current wishlist)

On mission 20, I am convinced this game is about Amazon, Hitachi, GE, Raytheon, Wallmart, Aldi, Nvidia, Alibaba, Monsanto, and TicketMaster combining forces to rule the world.

Sneeking this in here: if you “felt something” lookin at these toons, its because the author was legit. (Thanks smidt)

11 missions into Ace combat 8, and I am convinced this game is really about a White Tug and a German Shepard.

There is no one magic intelligent enough to protect everyone in this instance. So i think it is mostly limited to people invoking the “words of power” as priming the switch, and their thinking aligning as pressing the detonator switch. I could see murderers abusing this power if they ever thought to

010

At the very least it would be super funny to watch all the rich old guys, prison inmates, religious cult leaders, presidents, and tech ceos mysteriously pass all over the world from “spontaneous pulmonary cavitations” effectively outing a fuck ton of douchbags in the first 6 months of the experiment

080

I would love to see that world as a controlled 30 year experiment just to see what would happen. To see if indeed humanity would go on with complete consensual control over reproduction and sex, or if that world becomes a nightmare land of predatory work-arounds or Brave New World type eugenics.

Would the species go caput if magic wipes out that ugly little feature of primitive mammal drive within society? Lots of really shitty things within humanity are regrettably features and not bugs- including greed. The “fittest people” aren’t necessarily the kindest, even though it pays to be kind.

What would the species, the social dynamic look like then? If every female teacher who hung grades over their underage male student’s heads had their heart go “POP!” Inside their chests and its done? Would that cure rape? Or would assholes try and find work-arounds as they do?

070

In light of all this coerced silicon valley rape party shit coming to light, I have often fantasized what it would be like if our species had “Magically enforced” consent law. That is- if you try and fuck Someone who’s not willing, your cock detonates and you bleed out onto the floor.

Front and back. (still needs a few more details) But I will have the final on the website soon.

I saw the ACME vs. Coyote movie tonight with the fellas. This movie would be great for kids if only the kids had 50 years of nostalgia for Looney Toones/Tex Avrey/Chuck Jones stuff- which they don't. Unlike similar movies (Who Framed Roger rabbit ect.) The studio did not commit to 2-D animation..

(Tankerz art?) rare decent sfw (possibly inspired by Prince Tomcat)

Wu posted this earlier. A snap from Starshipx flight 14. It was such a good art reference for rocket cloud smoke morning colors that I had to first ask if it was bullshit Genai (something I hate having to do now)
