You mean three, Usea had Stonehenge, Megalith and Fortress of Intolerance. Belka could've used Excalibur and Avalon Dam had they not been destroyed during The Belkan War
did you know: the man (Paul St. Peter) who voices Lt. Col Voychek is the same guy who voices PM Nikanor & AWACS Oka Nieba (Sky Eye) from AC5. Also, the person who voices Sgt. McKnight here is the voice actor for AC5's AWACS Thunderhead and makes a cameo as Erich Hillenbrand (Schnee 1) in ACZ.
It was such a wasted opportunity tbh. Since the story is about occupation and liberation, giving the player something personal to protect on the ground would be awesome.
23:53 And thus, we are introduced to the second most overpowered enemy ace in the entire series, coming up just behind Ace Combat 2's/Assault Horizon Legacy's/Cross Rumble's Z.O.E. Pixy with his Morgan? Pasted. Yellow Squadron? Wasted. Ofnir/Grabacr? Reduced to ashes. Sol and Mr. Plot Armor? Deleted. Mimic? Reduced to ashes. Remember how OP AC6's CFA-44 was? Eliminate it's horrifying instability and its need to bleed speed whenever someone performed a high-G turn in it, add in even more maneuverability, more acceleration, stealth, the ability to use every single one of it's special weapons in battle and the most insane A.I. I've ever encountered in Ace Combat and you get one Ilya Pasternak.
Bruh, stepping in the cockpit for the first time (my first game was Fires of Liberation) I thought Voychek was difficult. Fucking Pasternak came at me with a fucking vengeance and passion, hellbent on my death.
It took me 3 tries to beat him the first time, I kept running out of time. Then I just learned to recognize his flight pattern when I got old n he got pretty easy to kill
_"It is true, that you are no longer flying. . . and have grown close to these children._ _You've lost your wings. . . but you've gained the land in return._ _Now you can see the sky, as these people do - the people living on this land._ _Voychek - Are you truly going to sit here and let the sky fall down on these people?"_
This game was my first AC game and it inspired me too. I already did my tour, hope you're alright. Also hope you're not at LAAFB, I've heard horror stories from more than a few people.
i know this comment is a year old, but man you are living the dream I had as a kid. I did serve, but it was in the Army. I was no where near qualified to become a pilot lol.
The tank on Ace Combat 6 is kinda like a Franken-tank....It has parts of the Challenger 2, but the turret and parts of the hull belong to the Leopard 2
it was ok but the dance with the angels thing was gay. 5 and zero were the best i think and 4 was right after them. i would like to play infiniti but i dont have a ps3
as cheesy as it is, the cfa-44 came from this. Take it as you like, but The cfa gave me the joy of watching targets disappear from my map in large numbers
i love the ace combat story style of: focus solely on random characters who have nothing todo in the actual gameplay missions. wanna learn more about your flight team and see them get closer together with some cutscenes of them on the ground? nahhh fuck that, lets follow a blond woman as she randomly walks around the country, lets do that for the entire game instead.
Man I got ace combat 7 and I tell you I love the cutscenes in ace combat 4 (studio 4°C) and 5. Here they have lost it and no. 7 they brought it back somewhat but still isn't up there with them. But I'm still a fan of the game series and never want it to stop. I wish they didn't bring in the price of planes. If you shot it you unlocked it, that was it. I prefer the old school before everything got complicated.
@@territoriesoflegreaterbrit8877 I think that most of these people who say that the game was bad are just salty because it wasn't released on PS3, but XBOX 360
This was my first combat game and I loved it. Obviously it's not even a good game in the franchise which gives me high hopes for the new game if it lives up to standards
God, the voice acting is terrible in this game in both cutscenes and gameplay. Especially in the first cutscene. The mother mumbles most of her words and it's just maddening to see the CGI actor's body language suggest talking loudly, and actually hearing '...listen to your teacher, okay...?' Oh yeah, and "DANCE WITH THE ANGELS LEL" every five fucking minutes. I mean, good God.
Compared to Zero, Shattered Skies, Skies Unknown, and Unsung War, this game is lacking quite a bit. But it still holds a special place in my heart as the game that brought me into Ace Combat. Plus, Liberation of Gracemeria will forever be my favorite track.
My 2nd ace combat game, first was AC X, while i preferred that game's non-linear campaign and better replayability and the story there, I preferred the gameplay and the planes more in AC6, the CFA-44 especially, so OP!
GrandesClassicos93 If I've learned anything about video games it's that "realistic" is never the direction you should go. Authentic maybe, but never realistic.
I really wish the story paid any mind to the rest of the world. I assume emmeria would have had allies that might have given a crap about their country being taken over or have been a little concerned about a cruise missile-shell launching railgun
I guess Estovakia saw what Belka did in the 90's and tried to succeed where they failed. But, as the old saying goes, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Estovakian Colonel says at the end of the game they are finally going home...to a country more impoverished then ever. After all who do you think is going to pay for all those war damages that was inflicted on the neighbor they invaded? They are! Have fun being poor Estovakia!
Yeah i will agree the characters seem emotionless in their actions and speech. Above all as far as gameplay and an impacting story Ace Combat 5 tops my list
The only real issue with these cutscenes is the excessive usage of narration for no particular reason. Explaining shit that is literally happening in front of our eyes.
This is the only Ace Combat story I never payed attention to. I mean seriously what gamer, let alone an Ace Combat fan, would want to hear a story that revolves around a mother and her daughter?
Yeah, AC6 was my first AC game, so I think I love it for the campy overdramatic story that it is. Earnst to the point of insanity, but good fun for it.
I'm getting a Final Fantasy vibe from all of this. When the hell are they collaborating with Final Fantasy? I want to fight monsters with fighter jets.
36:25 Why is Melissa so surprised when people are celebrating? Did she somehow miss the massive battle to retake the city? Was she somehow unaware that it took place?
@@tango5thetargeted73 again, even if she just arrived there was a massive war that just happened. Given where she was during the previous cutscene there's no way she could have missed the fighting happening around her
Alfarizi Dhiyaul Islam I don't know why it seems to be because they went over to Xbox the story line was shit I mean why did they go over to Xbox when AC was always on PS they went to Xbox for one game then went back over PS I mean why??? they should of stayed on PS all the way through the franchise
Why was Usea the only ones smart enough to say: "You know what's better than one asteroid defense system? Two asteroid defense systems."
You mean three, Usea had Stonehenge, Megalith and Fortress of Intolerance. Belka could've used Excalibur and Avalon Dam had they not been destroyed during The Belkan War
Right, forgot about that one.
Antares 1 is better
That's cool. I guess... Wasn't really talking about who was better though.
No you're name on Google
You know it's sad when the most interesting characters are the three bank robbing tank gang
Still a funny story.
That's some Kelly's Heroes inspired stuff right there.
if you dont have any empathy at all... kindly shut it, and don't ruin it for those that do.
Actually, Colonel Voycheck's story is better
Yeah Voycheck was quite enjoyable
16:00 "Apparently he was robbing banks before he joined the service"
Osea: "WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!"
24:59 When you decide to get McDonald's and they fuck up your order but you're too much of an introvert to say anything so you eat it anyway
did you know: the man (Paul St. Peter) who voices Lt. Col Voychek is the same guy who voices PM Nikanor & AWACS Oka Nieba (Sky Eye) from AC5.
Also, the person who voices Sgt. McKnight here is the voice actor for AC5's AWACS Thunderhead and makes a cameo as Erich Hillenbrand (Schnee 1) in ACZ.
actually the scene with the tank and crew blowing a hole in the tunnel looks more like a scene from bad company
Ben Conway Ha, that's nice!
You know, that probably is. Bad Company is that kind of game.
15:35 "The Fly boys on the other hand are workaholics", Said no tanker ever.
Not in Strangereal
Tankers respect them
Who else thought the player was the husband until we saw 7:39
I thought the same too
Me
I thought shamrock was the husband honestly
It was such a wasted opportunity tbh. Since the story is about occupation and liberation, giving the player something personal to protect on the ground would be awesome.
@@fellout2555 sadly Shamrock lost his wife and daughter
Someone needs to elaborate on the legend of the Golden King.
23:53 And thus, we are introduced to the second most overpowered enemy ace in the entire series, coming up just behind Ace Combat 2's/Assault Horizon Legacy's/Cross Rumble's Z.O.E.

Ace combat veteran here. Haven’t played 6 in a long time, but he’s way easier now then before when first fighting him.

My first Ace Combat game and it’s still my favourite to this day. 15 years later I’m in the Air Force, Dancing With The Angels !
This game was my first AC game and it inspired me too. I already did my tour, hope you're alright. Also hope you're not at LAAFB, I've heard horror stories from more than a few people.

Talisman , this is it ... this is what we've been fighting for . All you can do it be proud
I personally liked this game
The Daily Dose Of Randomness Crew me too
As do I
Same
Best ace combat in my opinion and the first game I played on Xbox
Same here and I kinda preferred it over 7 tbh but that’s my personal opinion
The AC series always has a very eloquent way of saying things.
Go dance with the angels
gO dAnCe wItH ThE AnGeLs
I feel bad for Voycheck. As the game progresses he loses more faith in Estovakia.
The tank on Ace Combat 6 is kinda like a Franken-tank....It has parts of the Challenger 2, but the turret and parts of the hull belong to the Leopard 2
Same with the helicopters of Yellowjacket. Uh70 tail and body, with the nose of a ch53
This was my first Ace Combat. It's better than people say it is, though it doesn't measure up to Ace Combat 4 or Ace Combat Zero
I can't be the only one who thinks the whole tank crew arc is a nod toward Kelly's Heroes.
dixievfd55 who
It was
This game was so fucking cheesy. 4, 5, and Zero still reign supreme in my opinion.
it was ok but the dance with the angels thing was gay. 5 and zero were the best i think and 4 was right after them. i would like to play infiniti but i dont have a ps3
***** ...Hey Nick, Nick? Nick hey! You gotta hear this!
Nick Sandman how was it gay
as cheesy as it is, the cfa-44 came from this. Take it as you like, but The cfa gave me the joy of watching targets disappear from my map in large numbers
Story wise I'd say 5 is my favourite, but gameplay wise It'd hard to go back to 4 and 5 after you've played 6 and 7.
estovakian = Estonia + slovakia
i forgot how bad the voice acting was for the subplot lady lol
Estovakia Resembles North Korea and Emmeria resembles South Korea and Thailand based on politics.
Man! I love this game!! I played the whole campaign! But on multiplayer... nobody plays it! :(
Bootleg Jesus Because no one likes it. It's unfair.
It already wasn't gonna do well cause Ace Combat 5 is overrated.

Lip sync sucks, dialogue is a tad wonky, but it looks good!
Because it was synced for the Japanese dialogue.
7:18 ... feels
searched these cutscenes just for this scene. This game had a wild story
Oh thats why OSEA didnt have any luck in the beginning of the lighthouse war, thats because Melissa used it all
AC6'S Story is so bad its good. It just makes me laugh.
No, for me, the story is pretty good.

the weird is
emmeria and estovakia is not mentioned in map briefing Mission 13 in Ace combat 5
It's Annea island or Continent

this is an awesome game and cut scenes are great

He walked
Summary of Ace Combat 6 in 5 words:
gO dAnCe wItH tHe AnGeLs!
There's a monkey in my bathroom
"This is Gracemeria! Go dance with an angel!"
"HOW ARE WE LOSING TO THESE PEOPLE?!"
+1 for graphics
-1 for sound
This was my first combat game and I loved it. Obviously it's not even a good game in the franchise which gives me high hopes for the new game if it lives up to standards
everybody in this story is crazy. except for garuda I assume.
Garuda is normal in that he's just like every other Ace combat protagonist: A sociopathic mute in a fighter jet
Ukraine giving off serious AC5 vibes
I miss the vibes of Ace combat 5 & 6. Piano music really brings relaxing japanese vibe
It's my second favorite game behind ace combat 5!
God, the voice acting is terrible in this game in both cutscenes and gameplay. Especially in the first cutscene. The mother mumbles most of her words and it's just maddening to see the CGI actor's body language suggest talking loudly, and actually hearing '...listen to your teacher, okay...?'

Thought every inch of this game one if not the best air platforms on 360
Compared to Zero, Shattered Skies, Skies Unknown, and Unsung War, this game is lacking quite a bit.
But it still holds a special place in my heart as the game that brought me into Ace Combat.
Plus, Liberation of Gracemeria will forever be my favorite track.
There's one Strangereal-based Ace Combat game features a cutscene with speaking other languages such as Russian than English or Japanese.
g o d a n c e w i t h t h e a n g e l s
I remember when playing this game and in the intro scene she screams “Matilda!!!!” I fucked lost my shit and was rofl
i was really hoping i wasn't the only who cringed near death at this voice acting.... thanks comment section.
My 2nd ace combat game, first was AC X, while i preferred that game's non-linear campaign and better replayability and the story there, I preferred the gameplay and the planes more in AC6, the CFA-44 especially, so OP!
Ace combat 5 did cutscenes so much better than this pituful fuckin sob story.
TheRocketdrive yup,
+TheRocketdrive what??
+TheRocketdrive Zero's looked realistic
GrandesClassicos93 If I've learned anything about video games it's that "realistic" is never the direction you should go. Authentic maybe, but never realistic.
And best story so far
I hope they Remasterd this game to PS 4
the voice acting sucks so much, but the game itself is So incredibly good.
Blind Side Yeah man but no one understands
I love the side plot of the tank crew bank heist. Screw fighting, let’s get rich
Anyone else notice a puppy and a little boy staring at each other in the clouds??
This story is better than Ace Combat Horizon 😅
I really wish the story paid any mind to the rest of the world. I assume emmeria would have had allies that might have given a crap about their country being taken over or have been a little concerned about a cruise missile-shell launching railgun
I agree, only problem was that Usea was probably busy with the Free Erusean uprisings and Osea and Yuktobania were just done almost killing each-other
i was sad when ace combat 6 is finish
Can we all agree that this was a much better story than Ace Combat 7.
I guess Estovakia saw what Belka did in the 90's and tried to succeed where they failed. But, as the old saying goes, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Still can't believe it's a game, it's better than some movies out there
I believe Estovakia is supposed to be Romania. Considering all the vampire references.
how come they made ace combat 5 so good but decided to make ace combat 6 this cut scene,pitty this still have good story
Bro. Ace combat 4 had the best story. Ace combat 4 and 5 were the best in the series
Though the pilot being interrogated reminded me of English gaara from naruto
I'm going to be honest, I only play Ace Combat 6 for the pretty gameplay
I kinda skip all the cutscene lol
Ikcatcher Like any respectable arcade game player. Or rather, ANY arcade game player.
@@alfariziislam3796 Same. Lol. Really tho. All the time.
Estovakian Colonel says at the end of the game they are finally going home...to a country more impoverished then ever. After all who do you think is going to pay for all those war damages that was inflicted on the neighbor they invaded? They are! Have fun being poor Estovakia!
or become one the first nations fall to the likes of GR/Neucom in a lead up to Ace Combat 3, that works
some people actually prefer being poor but connected to their homeland instead of wealthy but disconnected from their home
Damn I don’t remember this at all…
The tragedy is soo goofy and in your face that the intro made me laugh more than once. What the hell ace combat? You used to be cool.
Yeah i will agree the characters seem emotionless in their actions and speech. Above all as far as gameplay and an impacting story Ace Combat 5 tops my list
The only real issue with these cutscenes is the excessive usage of narration for no particular reason. Explaining shit that is literally happening in front of our eyes.
LMAO how many miles does that tank go without refueling ?
Tanks like that are designed to run of basically any combustable liquid, so it’s not impossible
So Emmeria Is Ukraine?
ukraine isn't the first country in history to be invaded
My very first AC
Can you replay these cutscenes after the missons, or finish the campaign?
Yes
Shit you get when it moves to Xbox.
So it's not on ps2
you cant dislike Victor Voychek
The Last Cutscene was not bad at all
The game takes place in 2016
AWACS Ghost Eye All Squadrons Report In
This is the only Ace Combat story I never payed attention to. I mean seriously what gamer, let alone an Ace Combat fan, would want to hear a story that revolves around a mother and her daughter?
This story is indeed a toiletfire.
All this shitty writing and awful voice acting and you think the core problem is that the story is about two women. Hopeless.
oh god it hurts. Assault horizon cutscenes sucked but at least they werent so cringy
Connor O'Brien neither cutscenes were good or bad, but the AC6 cutscenes were definitely more entertaining.
Yeah, AC6 was my first AC game, so I think I love it for the campy overdramatic story that it is. Earnst to the point of insanity, but good fun for it.
2016? No Phones?
As Cringey as it is, It does bring back good memories…
Story aside, I'll take any ace combat game that shows what the countries and armies actually look like.
