对AC8我本来没有抱很高的预期，没想到打开之后就彻底被吸引了。 从29号到现在，废寝忘食地玩了126个小时，拖拖拉拉总算做完了全成就。 五个周目打下来，心里积攒了不少零零碎碎的东西，趁现在还记得清楚，先把它们写下来。 以后我也会继续玩，也许等下个假期，又会有些新的发现。 m05的首都登陆战让我印象很深。 没想到仅仅两千人的部队，其中还有很多民兵，竟然有勇气向希孚发起登陆。 更加触动我的是他们对希孚之翼的信任。 对于那些真正要冒着炮火登陆、推进的地面部队来说，“希孚之翼在天上”似乎就是他们敢继续向前的理由之一。 可一路飞下来，我记住的不只是这种信任，还有越来越多没能回来的人。 m03初见Purple Magic队，Cope说就算去支援了，他们最终还是会死的。 那时的我没当回事，没想到竟是谶语。 到了m08，炮火在远方棱线处明灭不定，隔着那么远看上去甚至称得上壮观。 可是Purple Magic就在那里。 后来Purple Magic 1在无线电里转述了Purple Magic 4的那句遗言： “如果希孚之翼他们在这里就好了。” 听到这里我一下子很难受。 我也希望我在那里，可是过不去。 我只能继续眼前的任务，看着远方的炮火明明灭灭，听着无线电里他们一个接一个消失。 我们一路听着他们的歌飞到这里，但创作那些音乐的人正在远方那片漂亮的炮火里死去。 那片炮火依然漂亮， 可我已经没办法觉得它壮观了。 后来让我难受的也不只有自己人。 m23遇见Gemma队，如果对他们发起攻击，就会听到“弹射按钮在哪里”“帮我告诉我妈我爱她”这种稚嫩、恐惧的无线电。 击落他们后，Mavisimen带着哭腔说完最后的独白，无线电里传来一声枪响。 那一下我尤其难受，被我击落的不是身经百战的敌方王牌，只是一群没毕业的飞行学员，稀里糊涂被调到前线，而我亲手杀了他们。 后来我尝试不攻击他们，但是他们依然会被友军击落。 再后来我故意不击落那两架Su35冠名机，他们会在无线电里劝她投降，最后没有那声枪响。 我不知道这是否意味着她活了下来，但我愿意这样相信。 至少这一次，我没有听见那声枪响。 Professor的离开则是另一种难受。 从一开始，他就给我一种博学、可靠的感觉。 刚认识的时候他就说自己的职责是保护一号机，后来经过那么多次任务，我也逐渐习惯身边有这么个稳重的僚机。 直到m26，他真的挡了上去。 回母舰的路上，我听见他说自己状态很好、腰也不痛了，感觉有点不妙：不会是回光返照吧？ 他的完美着舰又让我觉得也许真的没事，没想到河野给了我一记快慢刀，他最后还是离开了我们。 他的确履行了他的承诺。 m28里还有一个很小的承诺： Toprak承诺让Shadows 28（25？）的女儿不再当飞行员，但是Toprak随后死了，这个承诺大概无人去兑现了。 若干年后，也许又有一个小女孩被卷入战争。 萨维亚佣兵也让我印象很深。 他们接受雇佣、用战斗赚取佣金，却不是单纯为了自己，而是为了帮助自己的国家。 这种为了自己的国家远赴他乡，以佣兵的身份战斗甚至牺牲的方式，还是很让我动容。 除了这些人和他们的结局，打完以后还有不少细节让我思考。 进入游戏前，我以为Cope是纯粹的菜鸟，后来他躲导弹的飞行技巧让我觉得没这么简单。 直到他的身份揭开，我才终于明白： 他不是不会开火，而是不愿向故国开火。 m25里Kate对Rex说“我快要迷上你了”，战后Rex又成为了Kate的后座，一起飞在索托亚上空。 这是伏笔吗？ 游戏里Lux Lunae隶属于第11战术中队，两位数精英小队的番号非常整齐： 22、33、44、55、77、99，刚好都是11的倍数，却跳过了66和88。 不知道是真的不存在，还是留给了以后的DLC。 相比这些还只是让我好奇的小地方，m29出现的那架Su57应该是全游戏最神秘、最诡异的一架。 战后，他的亲属在整理遗物时，却在住宅的地下仓库里发现了一具已经死亡超过十二年的白骨，根据牙齿的治疗痕迹确认，那才是PRUDENS本人。 也就是说，2030年4月1日被击落的那个“PRUDENS”至少不可能是档案中本来的那个人。 他的翅膀也是偷的吗？ 又或者，驾驶它的根本就不是一个真正的“人”？ 我不知道，但是很难不把PRUDENS和43天后发生的Sublimation联系起来。 这架冠名机会不会是AC8通往AC3的一个伏笔？ 不过，比这些没有答案的问题更让我放不下的，还是那些我明知道大概改变不了、却总想再试一次的结局。 很多牺牲我知道是无法改变的剧情杀，但还是忍不住想： 如果我飞得再快点呢？ 如果我背板呢？ m10穿越雨带，如果能飞得快一点，在神枪落下前就击毁飞行船，忠实号是不是就不会牺牲？ m24攻陷轮盘，我提前记住了飞行船的刷新点，可我提前去东边它就在西边刷，我去西边它就在东边刷。 可恶啊，还是没法做到吗。 Dealer说，赌桌上输的钱可以赢回来，但是失去的生命已经无法挽回。 Cope、勇气号、Purple Magic队、忠实号、Deadless队、Queen队…… 还有那些我们看不见、叫不出名字的地面部队，一路上已经有太多人没能回来。 也正是在反复重打这些任务的时候，我突然想起Tasha在一段过场动画里说过，我们的灵魂会被战争逐渐侵蚀。 一周目的我不解其意，后来却突然明白自己为什么会想起这句话。 尤其是当我开始刷S评价、刷MRP的时候，敌人慢慢变成了分数。 我只是机械地锁定发射，然后寻找下一个目标。 当我不把敌方当人的时候， 当我毫无波澜地发射导弹的时候， 我是不是已经被侵蚀了？ 最后的过场动画和制作人员表不是一场盛大的庆功。 镜头在空无一人的坚忍号机库里穿梭，那些陪我飞过整场战争的飞机一架架停在那里，音乐响起来，名字开始滚动。 空旷、孤独。 Professor不会再从右侧的弹射位起飞了。 无线电里那些已经熟悉的声音也不会再响起。 Cope、勇气号、Purple Magic、忠实号、Deadless、Queen，还有那些连名字都没有留下的地面部队，都已经停在了这场战争的某一天。 这里只有我。 我已经完成了五个周目，我将再从这里起飞，再完成一次传奇，再听一次那些已经知道结局的无线电， 可他们不会因为我飞得更好而拥有另一个结局。

Best orchestra album in years, especially the tribal chanting part and songs. Mind-blowing stuff. The game that is attached to it is equallly brilliant too. But jokes aside... I mean, listen. Ace Combat 8 is absolutely ridiculous 90% of it's runtime. But the sheer sincerity of it made it work. This is what makes Ace Combat series so special in our challenging times. It may come off as corny, but it genuinely believes in the message it wants to send: that hope is real, personal sacrifice is worth something, heroism is sincere and humanity is stronger when it reaches past borders to hold hands and strive for peace. This has always been the theme at the heart of Ace Combat. And AC8 excells in this mission in the most bombastic, fun, beautiful and tearful fashion. Yeah, the game about planes go kaboom did it again. Never change, Project Aces.

Mainly just want to leave this review to show that it's possible to run this game on below-minimum specs if you leave all the graphics settings on low. It's pretty smooth, even, albeit a bit ugly. So if you don't have a graphics card with hardware ray tracing, there's still a chance you can play this game. As for the actual game itself, I think the best way to describe it is that it's just such a nice feeling to play it. There's nothing quite like a flight shooting game when it comes to good gaming vibes IMO, and Ace Combat 8 is the best of the bunch.

It's actually so peak. I tell people that while DCS wants to simulate the reality of dogfighting, Ace Combat wants to simulate the fantasy of it. And being a Japanese game, it has a lot of corny dialogue and incredibly obvious story writing but the story is really just a vehicle to create incredibly ridiculous set pieces to satisfy every dogfighting and shonen trope there is. What it lacks in sophisticated writing it completely makes up in pure AURA. It's a fun game that almost revels in how ludicrous it gets.

This game made me feel things I haven't felt from a game in a long time. Every time I thought it had reached its peak, it pushed even further. Honestly, most of the late-game missions could have been the finale and I wouldn't have complained, but it just kept raising the bar. It's rare to play something made with this much love and care. You feel it from start to finish.

Wow..... I'm new to the Ace Combat series with my intro being AC7. As much as I enjoyed Skies Unknown, Wings of Theve blows it out of the water. The gameplay, the VA, story, the promotional mini series and extras, the MUSIC, everything is just wonderful. Its so refreshing to see a game release complete. No delays, no missing content, not buggy. Project Aces so obviously put heart and soul into this game. AC7 may have gotten me into the series, but AC8 cemented me as a fan. o7

While I understand many people have issues with the multiplayer, crashes, or zero's preorder inclusion, my priority has always been the campaign. This is far and away the greatest Ace Combat game in the series, a title I often jokingly gave to Project Wingman, but this blows that and everything else out of the water. The music, the characters, the gameplay, the sound design; everything is the best that PA has ever done, and while there are some flaws, this has quickly and become one of my favorite games of all time.

This is the best mid 2000s "inarguably anti war, but military hardware is sick as hell" anime since the mid 2000s Speaking as a campaign only person here, as I have no intention of getting deep into the multiplayer in any way. If you plan on digging into the multiplayer side of this game, then please read other reviews that have a greater focus on that to get a more complete picture. I've been hearing about the Ace Combat series for a good chunk of my life. The people who love it have always been passionate and vocal about that passion, and back in Ye Olde Dayse, whenever somebody would post a Greatest Video Game Music Of All Time thead on a forum, at least one Ace Combat track would come up. (it was usually Zero, or Liberation of Gracemeria, or...) but I've never actually properly played one of them, despite having some exposure to the series from afar. This was my first Ace Combat game. The only words that seem to do it any sort of justice are 'spiritual experience.' It was hectic to play at first but by mission 17 or so everything was pure flow state and any game that can consistently put you there is special. The beauty of Ace Combat, the secret sauce that brings the entire dish together, really is the gameplay and how much it asks of you. It is not HARD in the sense that the game is not ever really trying to hurt you or make you struggle, but it IS a game that requires you to be On. Every mission has at least one task that you must keep in the back of your mind at all times while simultaneously overwhelming you with a bunch of stuff that you don't NEED to deal with, but also yes you do, but also if you focus on the small things you WILL lose the mission sooner rather than later. It feels like juggling plates while permanently going at least twice the speed of sound, flipping through targets of opportunity, hearing the beeping tone of a confirmed lock while at the apex of a midair U turn and praying to the Gods of IR Guidance that those two HVAA missiles you just sent out without a clear visual find their targets because you do not have time to stop and watch or correct your aim. And then, eight seconds later while you are doing a strafing yaw against a line of ground targets, they hit - your HUD flashes up the HIT -> DESTROYED box for a brief moment as you pull a high G turn to pitch up and away from the rapidly oncoming ground, and you feel like the most powerful person on the planet. For those fifteen seconds, the world stops turning, and the only thing that matters is you, what is in your crosshairs, and the great, unending blue sky before you. And then it happens again. And again. And again. And not once does it lose its impact. The story is Anime ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥(very very affectionate) but it completely won me over with its earnestness and, upon finishing it, shocked me with how much depth the worldbuilding and the individual characters had upon post credits analysis. I was grabbed in a way I have not been by something in recent memory, and I cried several times, something I pretty much never do to any sort of media anymore because my heart is a shriveled husk - it felt like every single mission had at least one moment that felt like a hit to the stomach either because of something utterly sick as hell was happening or something was breaking my heart. The best missions had both, and the best missions were also the majority of the game. (It is freaking ridiculous how much emotion they can engender with a simple "Yes/No" prompt) The soundtrack cannot even begin to be glazed up enough. It is truly next level. It's going to get ignored at GOTY discussions but don't be fooled; this is the one. Its integration of the music into gameplay is unmatched and every single mission made it clear that they REALLY worked hard to make sure that the music and Sick Stuff Occurring synced up perfectly and they miraculously maintained that all the way through. Never once did it feel like they were resting on their laurels. Never once did it feel like, for just one day, they wouldn't put 130% into trying to get you to love playing Ace Combat as much as they love making Ace Combat. And I do love Ace Combat now. Love is the only word for it. When I think of this game, when I think of how it made me feel, the incredible highs and the harrowing lows, it's extraordinarily difficult to find the correct place to start or the right words to impress upon somebody else just how *powerfully* this resonated within me. And somehow they did it with 90% of the story being told exclusively through radio chatter. If you like action games and melodramatic stories presented with a surprising amount of depth and respect and an overwhelming amount of unashamed earnestness for what it is doing, then play it. If there is even a chance that you might enjoy it, then I BEG you to take the plunge. If you are the right person, and this game finds you at the right time, it has the power to irrevocably change you. Up here, high among the clouds, even a dead heart can stir....... and we'll keep going until these skies belong to everyone.
