It's a ritual, to start the releases of games

it better have vr support and proper flight stick support

Ace Combat is a sick series. Just played it once, but I remember the gameplay being a good mix of realism and arcade

I liked playing Ace Combat 7 on the Steam Deck when I'm on an actual airplane during takeoff. I pull up when the airplane takes off so that the G-forces are simulated in game.

As a kid/teen I played the hell out of 4 and 5. I revisited the series for 7 and it felt like they left a lot of storytelling out. Gameplay(combat and controls) was still great though.
