The last boss sucks

[MetsaSketch]

Okay, I've been really enjoying the game so far, until it came to fight the last boss. God that fight is super frustrating. I feel it was a really bad idea making the effects and lights etc so over the top. It isn't fun being constantly blinded and showered in spamy super bright weapon fx, I still have spots in front of my damn eyes.

Alt F4'd in disgust when I died to almost invis chipping at hp when he had less than 5% hp.

*EDIT*
The changes to the last boss feel much better now, beat him on first try on my merc second playthrough.

I used the f-14 and just spammed this boss with std msl and high powered std missiles at close range until the end and used the MML's when he started spamming orbs. You should play the game at a lower difficulty if you are struggling or keep trying until you learn his flight patterns. This is the final boss I am glad he made me all hot and bothered even though he failed to kill me ^^

Dude, like I said I did it on the second go, I didn't need to drop it to normal. The fact that these attacks can come unsighted by the player is an issue. He isn't hard beyond that, even with only flares and mg's. The issue is that the player is punished with damage that can come in unsighted, and in the event of the orbs, continues to damage you until you clear it's aoe . That is bad boss design.

The issue is definitely surprise attacks. The fight was much harder on VR because of all the blind spots, for example. If you’re stuck on it, I recommend using the Harrier and just rocket jousting him. Entire fight can be done in two minutes.

Yeah the HUD needs to stay intact or else it feels like a cutscene that you can die in. Like Resident Evil 4. That, and the spaztastic death orbs and everything being perma-orange doesn't help. Or the fact that the final guy keeps whining and being overall an unlikable hypocrite jackass that can't even die properly.

Still beat him first try on Easy with Chimera tho.

After the first death to him I muted the dialogue, turned off subtitles and switched off the music. Threw on my ace combat playlist and went back at him. idgaf what he has to say. Ive shot down Dission, Rena, Yellow 13, every soldier knight and merc squad in Zero, Pixy, Mihaily, and the twin Ravens. Literally who are you Crimson, why should I care.

That's kind of the vibe in the entire Ace Combat series, so if you aren't into that, Ace Combat and Project Wingman likely aren't for you.

AC Zero and 4 wernt really like that, and AC3 sort of, even if more like anime, so not totally.

I havnt played AC7 though.

terrible take

Because you like cringe level writing ? Opinions I guess

Lmao

I think that you are wrong, and that your opinion is of an extreme minority position. Again, as another user stated I don't think these games are for you, you should play something else instead of instead of being super unproductive in both your statements and tone.

Boss is really bad and sad. No explanation of who it is, why he's here etc eye killing map with same eye killing effects of boss. Have worst qualities of Milosz Sulejmani with V2 and ADMM on top. Immortal at start, immortal during some maneuvers, absolute sponge. constantly dropping lock and this can and will sometimes bug out resulting in complete stealth for him. idiotic "no hud" section and to top it - not even fighting you. just flying at semi fixed pattern. you can just fly away and he will continue same pattern. Seriously why it even present? Sulejmani should have been stopped, same for Pixie, but crimson 1? .

This game is trash just due to the end boss fight, that just regurgitate attacks after attack. they needs to be fixed because they rush this mess.

...uh no. It sucks but it doesn't ruin the entire game.

I was enjoying the story, then it went full anime at the final boss fight. Who ever decided on those AOE orbs...i hope you get kicked in the ♥♥♥♥. Daily.
The fight isn't even hard, its just orange/10 and extremely irritating once he starts using the orbs. If you go to stage 3 with less than 75% HP, might as well start over. If he drops two overlapping orbs on you when you are around 50% HP its GG. basically once the orb stage begins its a chinese firedrill, just wiggle and spaz your aircraft around to get him to level out once in a while and thats when you strike. Jousting works really well, but its a split second matter.

If they removed that bubble attack he does, everybody`s enjoyment of the fight would skyrocket.

Is the main story mostly cringe like Ace Combat 5 ? Where everyone talks like they know they`re in a video game ? I got that feeling from the demo

Another AC5 hater, these ♥♥♥♥♥ always gotta make it known they hate the game with a passion. ♥♥♥♥ off.

You know what makes it worse? Your vision literally goes black the second that boss starts and your plane keeps heading in the direction it was heading, even with the screen black. Your vision comes back to you hitting the floor, back to the start of the level for you. Garbage.

Since the boss's stage 4 is a pseudo-cutscene anyway, it'd be nice if they made your plane invulnerable for this stage (and make Crimson stop zipping around so much).

Absolutely this.
In general, the 3 stages are somewhat just annoying or boring.
Besides guns until fase 3, STDM work well by "booming and zooming".
But stage 4... GOD!
If you are in making it "cinematic&dramatic" at least make the player aircraft invulnerable! Also, the boss needs TOO MANY hit in this phase to finally die.

I wished the game ended one mission earlier...

I agree with the statement on weapon FX and the colours but dude, come on.

Use the Harrier for the fight with gunpods only. It'll melt him completely, just fly cautiously.

It is working as intended. PRAISE THE ORANGE
