is this newcomer friendly

[isaacbobir]

like im interested but i just wanna gauge a sense how newcomer friendly is this

[Okazaki Naoki]

I bought the game and played like 2 days ago.
So far I feel like you have to be very clear the strategy of every mission.
I am currently at progress of mission 12.
I would say not quite friendly. Need some time to overcome the frustration of the part of mission that assign you to do something in time.
Also need to know what missile/rocket to bring into mission.
Like there's a oil facility destroy mission. You got to bring some wide explosion weapon.
Else you would spend too much time and exceed the time they ask you to finish the job.

if you shoot Oil tanks they explode and take out nearby targets, you can easily beat the game using only normal missiles and one of the medals requires you to use guns only for the whole campaign.

It's as good of a starting point in the franchise as pretty much any of the games. There are multiple difficulty options. There is also an option to use an easier control scheme but if you're interested in the game I implore you to learn the "expert" controls as the "novice" controls will limit your plane's maneuverability

The game is good, this PC port isn't

This was my first ace combat game. The campaign is pretty short, the first time playing through it can be tricky since you don't have good equipment unlocked yet. If you end up replaying it, it becomes significantly easier with the higher tier parts/planes, even on harder difficulties.

It is identical to the console versions, I own all 3 and have played PvP to Commander in Chief rank on more than one platform. There's literally no difference, game play wise.

I'm a vr player but I'm not missing those 3 missions (plus I have them on PS4). You can actually play the whole PC game offline in VR with UEVR. Just wish it worked online! LOL

This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ forum has been a full of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ only because this damn PC port never NATIVELY supports every VR headset and every HOTAS flight stick, calling the entirety of AC7 garbage just due to that
So I joined in those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I never recommend anybody play AC7PC

Better use controller. If you use mouse + keyboard. When pitching your jet you'll have to keep sliding your mouse which might make you hand burning.
And in controller you simply push the mushroom.
I currently almost finish the campaign. Progress 19/20. With my mouse.
But in later mission I was able to unlock better jet let me scratch my hand lesser.
The mobility have huge difference.
I still have to let you know it probably would be sort of challenging.
I played 1 or 2 mission a day. Because the checkpoint system is quite inconvenient.
Checkpoint is design with campaign story progress. Not by your gameplay progress. Which we could frequently face play whole part again if you accidentally crash.
Need some patience but worth it. It is really a fun game to me.
I love using F-15E. Cool looking. End game capability.

You don't have to make life harder with a mouse, just use your keyboard numpad for right hand controls.

Very good game. Kinda on the shorter side, but a lot of replayability.

[isaacbobir]

All good boys I bought it after I'm done with resi 4 I'll hit it
