AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Anyone else enjoy this? I've never liked flight sims before, usually quite complicated/boring, but I really like this at the moment. Haven't taken it online yet, but the campaign is decent so far. One of the downsides is you never seem to see anything you're fighting against, you can take things out from so far away! (Sorry if there's already a thread, I did search, honest!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I downloaded the H.A.W.K.S demo. I didn't think the game compared to 'Ace Combat 6 - Fires Of Liberation'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry if there's already a thread, I did search, honest!) Thats exactly why I am not playing this game, its too arcadey, fire off 100 missiles to shoot down 40 planes in one mission type of thing. To me that is more boring than a proper sim. Never really liked the Ace Combat series either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that is more boring than a proper sim. Never really liked the Ace Combat series either. 'Ace Combat 6' is the first 'Ace Combat' game I've played. I used to play flight simulators back in the 8 bit, 16 bit and PC days. 'Ace Combat 6' is arcadey in so far as you carry a lot of weapons (but they aren't unlimited) but the rest of the game is comparable to the simulations I used to play.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Might try that Ace Combat when I get bored with HAWKS... you're right it is arcadey but I've never been a Flight Sim person before so maybe it suits me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Also, the Tom Clancy name was always synonymous with realism. Lending his name to this game has cheapened the Tom Clancy brand imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, to me it means exciting games with intuitive control systems, which this one definitely has. I agree it's not in the same league as Rainbow 6 etc though.

Mistle17 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Havent played this yet. I wish they just made a 3rd Rainbow 6... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Had a good session on this last night, think it's a quality game. The online mode is alright, although cooperative missions are quite easy with 4 human players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Love that review! I haven't got to the bit where the enemy invade the USA yet, does sound a bit far-fetched! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O Neill Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Also, the Tom Clancy name was always synonymous with realism. Lending his name to this game has cheapened the Tom Clancy brand imo. The Tom Clancy name has been going downhill for a while. Rainbow 6: Raven Shield was the last of the heavily realistic games. Since then they have opted to sacrifice on realism in favour of more action driven games. This isn't to say the games are less enjoyable as the likes of Rainbow 6: Vegas are fun. However it seems they are aiming at appealing to the masses more now than they did when they were releasing primarily PC titles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. TC Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 The main thing wrong with this, IMO, is the broken camera. The load times are ridiculous too. Looking forward to seeing what Yahtzee has to say about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing what Yahtzee has to say about it. Didn't he already review it? Think he liked it a bit. That off mode camera was some shit until I figured out the controls.
