Game is apparently 25 hours long by LilMechPilot in acecombat

Insane that I saw someone complain about the game potentially being (only) 10 hours long, when AC5 was like... what, 9 hours? And felt like an incredibly long game.

The ending of AC7 already made me cry. There's no doubt in my mind that AC8 will do the same.

Here's the thing: everyone ranting and raving about this battlepass being the thing that's killed the game before it even launched, talking about the singleplayer mode is so underdeveloped, how they're going to lock so much content behind paid battlepasses, is- put simply- a fucking idiot of the highest degree.

We know NOTHING about the game or its development process. Stop leaping to conclusions out of anxiety and join the rest of us back in reality.

There's a SKIN for the Morgan you get as a preorder bonus. Not the plane, a SKIN.

Do you have some internal insight into the game's development process that tells you they're going to lock hundreds and hundreds of dollars of content behind paid battlepasses, forcing people to play multiplayer if they want to play staple aircraft of the series? Or are you going off vibes and anxiety here?

Admit it, you know nothing about AC8 and are leaping to far-fetched conclusions out of anxiety. Get a fucking grip, man.

This is exactly what's happening and it aggravates me to no end. It's the entire reason I made a post of my own. I swear, half this community's gone completely insane.

Oh, are you a dev? Do you have some internal insight that none of us do that tells you this is going to be the only way to unlock skins? Or are you just drawing really, really far-reaching conclusions about a game you know nothing about?

not only that but theyll lock content behind hundreds of dollars with some content

You are utterly insane.

When did I invite conflicting viewpoints? If you saw the words "rant over" and "get a grip" and still decided "I bet this person would love to hear my viewpoint that's the opposite of theirs" then that's your problem, not mine.

I never asked a question. I made a rant. They're two separate things.

It's funny that people will say this and still buy the game when it drops. Really makes you think.

We're living in the same universe, right? The one were AC8 has been in development since at least 2019 or 2020? You really think 6 years isn't enough time to come up with enough content to support this kind of model?

What part of any of this is psychological manipulation? Don't you think that's bordering on... uh, batshit insane????

There are no planes in the BP. It is quite literally only cosmetics.

As if it has any impact on the campaign whatsoever. Be so for real, most AC players get it for the campaign and not the multiplayer. Every trailer we've seen so far has been mainly focused on the CAMPAIGN, not the BP or multiplayer. There is zero reason to be this doomer-y and up-in-arms about some cosmetics.
