This is supposed to be the "bad" Ace Combat, the one everyone seems to agree that is the worst among the main titles and I really don't get why. I've been on a 30 year journey playing every mainline Ace Combat from Air Combat to Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown and I don't see what makes AC6 be so hated.
AC6 reminds me of AC4, both are the first game of its console generation, both look gorgeous, both feature a short campaign of mostly repetitive missions, and both stories are unremarkable yet Ace Combat 04 doesn't get nearly as much flak as 6 does
The core gameplay is the same, fuck the core gameplay has been the same since the first game released in 1993 with some improvements like special weaponry and better controls. So it's not the gameplay and it's not the story then what is it? And I might know the answer and its probably because it's a Xbox 360 exclusive and because it's capped at 30 fps too. To that I say just emulate it, you can play it on PC and even get it to run at 60 fps.
In conclusion, Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation is a great game and quality wise probably sits in the middle of the rest of the main games and it's totally not worth skipping if playing though all the mainline titles.
