Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception - Mission 3A: Prelude

[@karastormborne3132]

laNdING sHipS was originally just supply vessels. That's hilarious to think about because the original line likely implied you were destroying civilian piloted vessels, and for some reason got censored with Landing Ships instead.

[@karastormborne3132]

If you never update the game in the original PSP version you can hear it.

[@timurkasymov162]

But why do they have a landing ship's model?

[@ZeroSSOX]

is it me or aerial enemies have a tendency to celebrate missiles missing when they're actually hitting them? makes it hilarious to hear

[@tegjwokjohn1839]

Alright! I dodged it!

[@RedBaronAce0207]

They always say they dodged it right as soon as it’s launched XD “Missile defeated.” **gets shot down two seconds later**

[@aaron_905]

I imagine they're saying they dodged staying in the war and doing work lol

1:01 So is it just me, or are Crux's lines in the briefing clearly redubbed to say "landing ships" when the original line said something else?

[@TugaAvenger]

You're absolutely correct. Who knows what the target was originally meant to be...

[@Burkhart4192]

Hey man, while you're here I just wanted you to know I love listening to your videos in the background, ACX was my entry into the series and my favourite PSP title (playing AC4, incidentally, just made me think of all the stuff X did better in it, and the less said about X2 the better). Right now I'm playing through Zero on emulator.

[@MrFluoxetinePatch]

The ships look like carriers, they probably changed it because it doesn't make sense for a carrier in port to pose a big threat to ground forces.

@@TugaAvenger in proto, the text (bcs no voice acting) says "landing vehicles"

[@baltosfan]

This mission has a lot of similarities to the 3rd mission in AC5, from the spoken lines to the area to the scenario, all to familiar

[@TugaAvenger]

With the slight difference there's actually a mission to play here, and not just endless dialog with some A-6s in between.

[@baltosfan]

+TugaAvenger Don't forget the F-5's!

[@falken2089]

Yeah, after too many years of playing this game, I starting to believe, this game was made on a low budget

[@shoreshmoore7665]

The detail in this game is the most amazing I've seen. Even when taking liberties with the way aircraft actually fly, Ace Combat remembered that missiles buckle around when attached to a hard point

[@TugaAvenger]

I think that's just an emulation glitch though. And hilariously, I've noticed they tend to shift in the direction of the target.

[@theamgcriminal9248]

Seems like the Leasath troops took some dialogue from the Yuktobanians

[@TugaAvenger]

Yes, they reused quite a lot of AC5 lines.

[@calamitousenigma9052]

Am I the only one who likes the music in this mission and Joint Operation?

[@TugaAvenger]

Oh no, it's one of my favourites as well. PS- I'll probably go on a comment reply binge tomorrow

[@steinnbjorn7627]

That's one of the best OSTs for sure, it's simple, yet, so powerful and heroic, really makes you feel the story behind it

[@strix501]

Yeah me too, especially the "alect Squadron".

This past week, I bought the velcro patch of Ace combat X skies of deception for my Alpha Avation military jacket

[@kujiko88]

The Vigen so clearly much better in acx than in acx2

[@Derpy-qg9hn]

Yeah, X2, while I was once obsessed with it, fails to hold the slightest hint of a candle to ACX, *especially* in how terribly they nerfed any hint of maneuverability. In X, the A10 can actually turn pretty quickly, the Phantom is uncharacteristically spritely, and anything beyond the Fishbed is almost too maneuverable for its own good. In X2, if you aren't in a superplane, it'll take you a year to turn 90 degrees. If you *are* in a superplane, then the slightest roll input will send you helplessly rolling for seconds at a time.

[@kujiko88]

That's a bit exaggerated, but yeah, I noticed in X everything flew better while in x2 it was like everything was flying at half speed.

[@DMSwordsmaster]

Hardly. I remember tuning a MiG-29 into something with near-max mobility and it still turned like an F-4E missing both of its wings.

[@seannthegamer832]

Ived played this game is soo cool

[@Malick-ix9io]

So we can't destroy the landing ships even if they're already passed under the bridge?

[@TugaAvenger]

You can, they don't disappear. You only lose the mission if three landing ships are inside the bay at any time.

[@iicustodianlaw]

[@stealthSGMB]

So much copy pasting from AC5. "I'm not gonna let them sink us here!"

[@TugaAvenger]

It's the type of resource recycling I'm perfectly fine with. Saves them money and detracts nothing from the game.

[@stealthSGMB]

TugaAvenger I found it some what distracting when you look at all the other AC games. It's not TERRIBLE...
