I have over 1000 hours clocked in this game. I have beaten (and lost) Operation X on Ace many, many times. But I have never, ever, been pushed to the edge as much as I was here. This was completely unlike anything I ever played, absolutely exhilarating, and I'm not even bothered the slightest with the outcome.
This is Ace Combat. At it's very best.
Quality is a bit lower than usual as this is cap from my AC 20th Anniversary stream.
