The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

It seems it'll be released on the death of Infinity

Maybe, but it seems like Namco is committed to a 2018 release.

Yeah this is gonna be quite awesome. There have been many theories about the plot from the game play videos. and a potential spoiler was dropped in one.

I'm going to be avoiding that video then, best to go into this game blind in my opinion.

Just ordered my copy yesterday, one of the few times I've ever picked up a game so close to its release date.


...and I still need to get around to playing Zero for the first time too.

Just beat it today. It is truly worthy of a place among the holy trinity of 04, 5 and Zero. A 9/10 I loved every moment of this game it is in my opinion one of the best in the series.

I killed the two drones and beat the final mission with the F-104.  It seemed fitting to use an ancient plane to take on the super advanced drones and then fly up the space elevator.  I'd have used it a lot more if it had a better payload capacity.

Nice. I used the F-22 myself first time I beat it. Now I really wanna try using the F-104 for the final mission.

Finished the game last Sunday and overall, I agree with F-22's sentiment. Its the best Ace Combat game since the PS2 trilogy, especially story and gameplay-wise. Defeated the final bosses with the Typhoon (as I used it for the rest of the campaign once I unlocked it), both of which were a good challenge, especially the tunnel section near the end (I disagree with the opinion that its more difficult than the ACES tunnel from AC5, admittedly.) I also teared up when Kei Nagase turned up.

Probably going to replay the campaign a few more times, as I tend to do with these games. Going to try and unlock the Erusian skins and a few of the specials.
