Dude, you had like, 5 WHOLE DAYS to post :P
I didn't realize it had been that long until I made my own post. And besides, if he didn't introduce himself yet, then you can still do it afterward!

Yes, there will always be a good opertunity to leave an impression^^
And I was slow as hell with posting indeed :(

Aw, I missed out on a compliment. Ah well. I'll post soon~

I'm going to shamelessly advertise the fact I've started up another game, since I've been more than happy to let the rest of you advertise your games here -

It's a non-furry/anthro/whatever you want to call it one, but inspired by Ace Combat and military fiction and technothrillers in general, based around a squadron of fighter pilots fighting a rising enemy in a hi-tech alternate 21st century after a global disaster has radically altered the face of the world:

Any of you that want to join would be welcome to do so, and I hope some of you will take a look!

I'll get back to GEARs once a few more posts go up :)

I am a helicopter pilot when it comes to being an airman, not a fighter jet one >.> Sowwi Silver

No worries man, it was an invitation, not an order :) I know not everyone's going to be interested.

I'm a big Ace Combat fan, and that sounds awesome... but I'm currently at about my limit for RPs joined T^T

BOO! I would've loved to have had you involved too. I also didn't know you liked Ace Combat!

Sorry if I went overboard with the introduction, I felt that I should do some sort of catching-up with the most recent events.

Maybe if one of my current RPs die I'll join up.

Also, yeah, I thought I'd mentioned that and/or gushed about the soundtrack at some point? I never had a PS2, so I mainly played AC6 and AH.

I played Ace Combat 5 and 6. I never actually bothered with Assault Horizon and just watched a walkthrough...the helicopter and AC-130 missions kind of broke the deal for me. No judgement on Infinity though. On one hand it's a more traditional AC game and the multiplayer's nicer to get into...no high-G turn QAAM dance of death. But the F2P system feels like it's been ripped straight out of a bad mobile game and the full singleplayer campaign isn't even completely out yet(?? Last I checked, at least).

I remember picking up AC5 because I was wandering Best Buy one day, looking for Lethal Skies 2...spoilers, Lethal Skies 2 is obscure as fuck, according to Youtube.

You probably did, but I've slept since then and I'm also old, so I forget things.
At least, that's my excuse.

I quite liked the helicopter and AC-130 missions, actually. The AC-130 was fun, but that's because AC-130's are awesome. I also loved the bomber level, but that's because the B-1 Lancer is one of my all-time favourite aircraft.
The helicopter levels were an interesting idea, but the actual helicopter took up WAY too much space on the screen, and coupled with some wonky controls, it was a bit of a teeth-grinder.

Infinity seems like a step back in the right direction, especially with the gameplay and plot, but I agree that it's irritating the full campaign isn't released, as we're getting it in chunks instead of one delicious meal. The Co-op missions are fun, and earning your new aircraft is kind of rewarding, but the F2P model is occasionally pretty aggrevating.

I've played the games since the original Air Combat back on PS1, and 4 was the first one I fell in love with, due to it's properly explained plot and background - it was exactly what I wanted - real world aircraft, relatively realistic mission objectives combined with enough sci-fi and anime-feeling story and tech elements that made it more exciting that a 'realistic' flight sim.

Oh, a couple of points about the last posts from Winter and Machine -
Captain Garrett is the captain of the Parvan's Claw. She's firmly aboard the land-ship, it was General Houseman who was debriefing us. He, the Captain and Silver have a history of working together, and came up with the Roughriders concept together.

And, MachineSoul, Silver only has an artificial arm, not an artificial eye. His left eye was removed at the time of his injury, and is covered by a patch. If Aiden has access to his medical files, it will state that Silver has trained himself to be able to compensate for it in most regards over the last several years, and despite normal recommendations, has passed all normal visual acuity tests.
(Because otherwise, y'know. He wouldn't be a GEAR pilot. Also, it's not real so :P )

Grr, damnit, how did I overlook that? I'll fix it once I deal with my starving stomach

---

Edit: Fix'd it.

AH's bomber mission was awesome, I wish there were more than one of them. And yeah, the chopper missions were cool in theory, but the controls were wonky as hell. I didn't enjoy the AC-130 mission as much as I did the ones that appear in COD:MW or HAWX 2 for some reason. Not sure why, maybe it was the fact that targets were a bit hard to see?

Anyway, I'll get a post up tomorrow. In the mean time, I saw this, and thought of GEARs ^^

That little trailer was great. I love the animation style - the way the pilot moved as he walked was really realistic!

In other news, I'm tabletop gaming this weekend, so I'll be incommunicado for the most part. I might drop in here and there, but I'll be gone, mostly. I'll get a post up on my return.

Look what I came across >.>

"SUPER DUPER NINJA FLIP KUNAI POWERS" ~The Bard

On a more serious note, isn't that the thing the people who did Double Rainboom are making? I don't know, it'll probably okay, even if there were a bunch of little things that bothered me. Especially that very MIDI sounding guitarmisen thing that covered the whole trailer.

It is.

I for one see great potential ^.^ It reminds me of the recent but old cartoons ((2005ish))

I'll start working on my next post tomorrow. Have been out of town for a few days due to a wedding in the family :)
