honestly once you start purchasing DLC planes you will very quickly find that most of the base game is completely outclassed by just about everything, save a few key exceptions
@@blesner the DLC jets are just that good, sans a few exceptions, they have to sell somehow, and there is no way you're telling me the ADF-11 Raven is not overpowered
I loved this review! You highlighted the benefits and disadvantages of the DLC in a coherent manner. As someone who is very fond of Top Gun much like the vast majority of Ace Combat players, I found myself utilizing the contents of the DLC to a great extent in both campaign and multiplayer. I’m glad to say that the DLC was definitely worth it, providing hours of uninterrupted fun. Great work! :)
Yeah I dont get the big deal Bandai sells their games cheap. I know people gotta make videos but this video has to be mainly multiplayer focused. Playing the SP missions and whatnot is plenty of fun. The best way to fly on a gamepad or controller. War thunder hides behind complexity that is fun but not impressive to anyone who can fly planes. So they're like: DCS or Il-2 or just arcade mode game. This is priced like a cheap game compared to how expensive other flight games are. It runs smooth. It doesn't crash. It's a game everyone should try if they think jets are cool and feel interested in spending a bit to play this even in a basic edition without any multiplayer planes or any of that extra jazz.
One thing that pissed me off is that i bought all 3 of the aircrafts in the experimental fighter jet bundle separately, yet i didn’t get the skins and emblems for the other aircrafts. If i wanted to get that one skin for the su 57 i would have to spend $12 as if i were buying all 3 planes all over again because they don’t want to sell skin and emblem bundles separately. Uninstalling.
1:19 If I'm not mistaken, the Maverick Ultimate Edition includes those "8 popular nicknames from past games", but if I recall correctly, there's no other way to get them. They're useless, of course, but it's a small fact.
I bought the DLC+the Game on a uber discount, and boy I cannot stop using Mav's F15s and F18s. Funnily enough always with the Hangman Emblem. 10/10 would buy again
Thank you for the helpful video. Currently there’s an Xbox Marketplace sale of the Top Gun edition of the game for 15$. I already own it, but found that the dlc would be 20$, so I just bought the bundle for the planes. Sale lasts 10 more days.
I just bought this game today as with the Maverick DLC it's just around 11 pounds. There's a huge discount now so better check it! Can't wait to play it as I really love Top Gun and long ago I played Ace Combat 3 literally every day... :) Will be good to get back as a pilot.
Fun fact as of this year The darkstar is confirmed in development as "Son of blackbird" by Skunkworks and is expected to enter service in the mid 2030's. While not 1:1 its specs are still wild
Im a year late but screw it. Because it is so expensive the DLC should have included all aircraft from both movies. Such as all for mentioned planes including, the "MiG-28" which was an F-5 painted in Soviet colors. The A-4 Skyhawk, which was the aggressior aircraft flown by Top Gun instructors in the first movie. And Mavericks P-51 Mustang for "Free Flights".
Half of these separate planes should have been just skins. No need for "TGM" versions of the planes, and there definitely wasn't any need for a literal copy-paste SU-57 with slightly different stats. Just give us the regular E-model Hornet and A-model Hornet with all skins in one place, and add some "5th Gen Fighter" skins on the Felon that we already have.
Hey! I just started ace combat 4 this week (planning to play 5, zero,7, and then project wingman). One thing I'm curious about is how important are 7's DLCs. Am I right to assume that none of them are really important for my first playthrough given that their planes are already unlocked? BTW any other ace combat game suggestions would be much appreciated.
Correct. The DLCs only add to the experience of AC7. I haven’t played many AC games, I’ve only played AC7 extensively so I’m not the expert here but the ones you’ve mentioned are fan favourites.

@@scootmg Thanks a lot for answering. About the past games as of now I'm enjoying 4 a lot, I don't know how a player already used to 7 would feel playing the older titles but since they're short might be worth giving them a shot if you're interested.
@@Deviljho5 I sold mine a while ago, so I had to use an emulator to play the ps2 games unfortunately, with 4 the shadow of the planes were just a tad bit off but overall I had no problems.
Ace combat 7 gets 5 stars for game play and 1 star for story. I feel the game is still worth playing and getting amazing planes to early would spoil early levels. I'm looking forward to playing the dlc.
Please write so that I can understand whether there are many differences between the Top Gun and Top Gun Ultimate versions? . does the standard version have paid updates to top gun or is it free? I ask because there are 3 versions for ps4/ps5
I completed the base game, including 2 of the 3 add on missions. If I bought this, am I just getting different planes or am I getting new missions as well?
@bk9951 Oh yeah for sure but I feel like maybe they could have used the assets from that mission and the one where you can’t go above the clouds into a brand new mission specifically around Top Gun Maverick That and maybe another mission from the first game? Not sure but the assets are there and would be super fun!
I wasn't exposed to Top Gun until I downloaded the movie and watched it to get me up to speed before watching Top Gun Maverick. btw Steam is having a sale and the Ace Combat 7: Top Gun Maverick Ultimate Edition is really cheap so that is a good buy if you have yet to buy the game. It's a shame the Instrumental Danger Zone is only for multiplayer, that song is a banger and fits some of the missions. That said the main mission in Top Gun Maverick about bombing the nuclear facility deep in the mountain really takes cues from Mission 14 with the Canyon Run segment, mission 13 bunker buster when the bombs are dropped and mission 9 faceless soldier with the multiple SAM sites. POV: You're 12 seconds behind schedule and clocking the fastest time in the canyon run and then doing the attack run. And doing GMV with the F-14A in Maverick Skin doing a launch in the Aircraft carrier in Mission 3 Double Prong Attack and then returning to the boat after the mission. Hard to beat that and with the Danger Zone playing in the background. def the TGM variants of the planes are my fav. Role Playing as Maverick in the whole story is prob one of few Top Gun fanboy dream. Previously you can only use the F-14D in Ace Combat 7 so the F-14A variants is a nice addition. Same can be said for the F-18 Super Hornet. The Dark Star is really useful in Fleet destruction mission with the Quad Pulse laser loadout. You can basically make swiss cheese with the ships and the platforms. Just be mindful of the plane's turning ratio. Heres hoping for the next installment of Ace Combat to be as good as the last one.
ij have the base game disc on ps4, base game on xbox digital, i bought TGM edition on steam. it's funny that you can beat the game with just the TGM dlc jets, and use any parts you would unlock along the way.
they are missing one jet the infimous Mig 28 from the first movie based off of the F-5E but its okay, i really enjoyed both movies and love these planes in my arsenal.
I never played any of the Ace Combat games but they look pretty cool. I was wondering if anyone here would recommend it because I can now buy the Maverick Ultimate Edition for €19,79 is it worth it?
I played multiplayer on the last Ace combat the one that was set in the real world and the multiplayer was pretty good I like that and I like the missions too before they shut it down it was hard to find a match what are my people playing the damn thing what kind of hesitant to invest anything in the multiplayer in this one
The game it self is great but they seriously want people to pay for the ADF(X)-01 !?!? Yeah no. And great when they fuck up their own sales: Right now on steam the Topgun-ultimate edition costs 100$, but the individual products from the bundle together only cost 55$ ... 100 is just way too much.
Ohh more than a pissed off customer. This game is more differently too over priced. We console players were fucked. PC players can free play with free hacks.
Te dlc jest zbyt drogie i nie oferuje praktycznie nic za tę cenę. Oprócz Darkstara, który jest zbyt op w multiplayerze. Reszta samolotów z tego dlc nie daje zbyt dużej przewagi nad graczami grającymi samolotami z głównej gry. Można powiedzieć że Top Gun Dlc to cheat do single playera za pieniądze udostępniony przez samych twórców. Po prostu popsuje ci to wrażenia z gry. Podobnie ma to miejsce z innymi samolotami dlc. Gdy pierwszy raz przechodzisz Ace Combat 7, radzę ci żebyś używał samolotów z drzewka rozwoju. Bo poczujesz nie tylko ich progres ale też twoich własnych umiejętności
Would've been worth every single penny if you got to fly the mission

I think it's safe to say that this game did fighting Jets better than the top gun Maverick game itself assumably right?
Just wish there was a mission to go along with it
I bought the bundle of the game with the DLC for $15 in PlayStation Store. For $15 it’s pretty worth it.
I love the sales they have for it
Same but for xbox! It's back too 99.95 lol
How do u get the stuff because it’s not working for me
Just picked up the dlc. On sale now on Xbox for $9.99 US.

The base game + maverick dlc is now $15 on the steamy summer sale. 👍
Still not worth only for the dark star :(

It’s so darn worth it. I’m glad I got this game. And Talk about An amazing Start Up Stuff. Like on Aliens Colonial Marines.
I bought the entire game and all dlc during an online sale for a grand total of $20. I think the dlc is worthit
Just bought the TGM DLC bundle for $20 on PSN last night. Pretty darn good steal if you're familiar with the series.

How were you able to get ace combat 4? Is it on steam or another site? I have all of the ace combat games but not on PC.
@@Deviljho5 I sold mine a while ago, so I had to use an emulator to play the ps2 games unfortunately, with 4 the shadow of the planes were just a tad bit off but overall I had no problems.
The 5th gen fighter is awesome because it lets you use the LACM, and lets you carry significantly more than any other plane in the game.
Will they add new content into the game or will they probably release a new game for PS5?
It has been a year since the last DLC so I think they’re done with AC7. Now they’re working on AC8
@@scootmg when will the AC8 be released?
In a few years, they have not announced anything major yet
Sorry for the silly question, but can I play air combat on ps5 without VR set?
Are the DLC packages just skins, emblems, and different jets, or do any of them offer additional campaigns?
wish it also gave you a TGM Skin for the regular F/A-18F
With 4 Super Hornet variants, it makes me wish that there was a Legacy Hornet early in the tech tree :/
Not to mention 3 Tomcats to choose From.

I have a question, I just started Ace Combat 7 and I just really want to know how to equip these, I got the pack as a code when i biught the game
I completed the base game, including 2 of the 3 add on missions. If I bought this, am I just getting different planes or am I getting new missions as well?
There's no new missions in this pack.
They should have made the mission they fly in game
@bk9951 Oh yeah for sure but I feel like maybe they could have used the assets from that mission and the one where you can’t go above the clouds into a brand new mission specifically around Top Gun Maverick
That and maybe another mission from the first game? Not sure but the assets are there and would be super fun!
bought it and started using 5th gen fighter. What an amazing aircraft, I feel unstoppable. 😊
Just saw it was on sale for 15 bucks on PlayStation so I got it. Looking forward to playing it.
Wait, I have the ultimate edition on PS4 but I bought it before the top gun maverick edition came out, why do I not have it?
I wasn't exposed to Top Gun until I downloaded the movie and watched it to get me up to speed before watching Top Gun Maverick.
btw Steam is having a sale and the Ace Combat 7: Top Gun Maverick Ultimate Edition is really cheap so that is a good buy if you have yet to buy the game.

I bought the Ultimate edition for 5 euros on Steam but I don't even have a PC to play it on 😭
ij have the base game disc on ps4, base game on xbox digital, i bought TGM edition on steam. it's funny that you can beat the game with just the TGM dlc jets, and use any parts you would unlock along the way.
I love darkstar
Same here, it's a very unique aircraft
I got the game and this DLC for about 14 bucks on steam, the base game was also on sale but it was more expensive than the game + DLC. Lucky me.
Would have been awesome to make that mission a multiplayer mission, 2 teams 4 su57 vs 4 f18
0:42 really? I bought it for $15 on Xbox...
He is talking steam PC prices not console
1 or 2 more days the whole game with the maverick dlc is 20 bucks on xbox
Easiest way to spot a nugget tho
Second easiest way after using the Piñata controls.
they are missing one jet the infimous Mig 28 from the first movie based off of the F-5E but its okay, i really enjoyed both movies and love these planes in my arsenal.
I never played any of the Ace Combat games but they look pretty cool. I was wondering if anyone here would recommend it because I can now buy the Maverick Ultimate Edition for €19,79 is it worth it?
wait I bought the standard edition and still got the F-104?
>Adversary 5th Gen fighter pulls a PSM, basically at a standstill
"Ah man." *brrrrrrrrrrrt*
Renude?
So wait, so top gun theme is only in multiplayer?
I played multiplayer on the last Ace combat the one that was set in the real world and the multiplayer was pretty good I like that and I like the missions too before they shut it down it was hard to find a match what are my people playing the damn thing what kind of hesitant to invest anything in the multiplayer in this one
The whole ball of wax is on sale on Steam right now for twenty bucks 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
The DLC is with it if you have ever seen Top Gun. I think it may be the best DLC.
I have and it is the best
Imma be real, top gun DLC ain’t worth it…
The developers should have simply made the DLC F-14 and SU-57 a SKIN only, not a separate jet.
Got lucky, picked up ultimate maverick edition from psstore for 20$
I...don't remember having to pay...I just have it...
Got the entire game and Top Gun DLC on my Xbox for about 20 singapore dollars. WORTH IT
Happy i got the whole game with this dlc for just 15 euros
I pirated the entire game and flew all of the planes. The base fighters are all uou basically need thats it dont buy anything else.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe shall have this for Top Gun Maverick DLC
i'm purchased DLC only 9 dollars the DLC contain 6 airxrafts from topgun and i let Say the price is very ship low cost .9 dollars i bought it today
The game it self is great but they seriously want people to pay for the ADF(X)-01 !?!? Yeah no.
And great when they fuck up their own sales: Right now on steam the Topgun-ultimate edition costs 100$, but the individual products from the bundle together only cost 55$ ... 100 is just way too much.
I want the dlc it’s great!!!
Wait till there on offer, I got my set for £9
We need more planes jk we need the new game asap
well during Steam Sale it was worth it.
I bought it for 20 bucks woth game pass, definitely is worth it
Ohh more than a pissed off customer. This game is more differently too over priced. We console players were fucked. PC players can free play with free hacks.
I am getting Ace combat 7 ultimate edition for 9 dollars on steam.
too many f-18s and f-14s I've already got most of the other DLCs I want to play story mode I don't play no player
10 Euros on steam.. meh i'll pass but thanks for your overview
maybe instead of a dlc you couldve bought a normal mic
PS sales was goated Ultimate maverick edition was cheaper than base game when I bought the game
It's on sale for $19.99 right now. 😂
not worth it, they should have added a new campaign set of missions geared towards the movie
There is no point in getting these if there are so little few missions to fly these on, so very few scenarios.
I got it for 12 euros💀
