THIS GAME DOESN'T SUPPORT MY VKB GLADIATOR!!!! and the lack of settings doesn't allow me to set up the controls for it!!!!!! what a bad game... always wanted to play it but when I finally bought it I was dissapointed that I can't even fly...... I wish there was more settings for your controls. it's way overpriced, thank god I bought it on huge discount.

i refunded because its boring. The gameplay is boring. The flight model is way to easy and arcadey. The missions are too easy. I bought it on the 4 dollar sale, turns out the rest of the game is being sold seperately and is completely and entirely pay to win. The top gun maverik jets trivialize the campaign. You can use the stealth jet to fly around at 5,000mph and literally shoot at everything with star wars laser beams, nothing competes. The stealth jet is like a UFC fighter at a kindergarten…

There is no customizable Keyboard and mouse control. Fine on GPU usage.

結論 セール価格だとしてもクソゲー 初めてエスコンシリーズをプレイしたが、説明が足りなさすぎる。 ボタンの説明を見てもどこにもロックオンが無い。後から調べたことで判明したが、目標切り替えでロックオン対象を選び、近づくとロックオンするようだ。 次にレーダーの切り替え機能やHUDに関する情報が足りていない。何がどれを指してどういった機能を持っているのか、それすらも分からない。ミッションの途中から突然表示される1回きりの説明でどう理解すれば良いのか。 さらに感度問題。プレイヤーの使用するコントローラー側で感度を調整しなければならないのはいつの時代のゲームをプレイしているのか。視点操作も思った位置に動かせず、0か1でしか反応しない。わざわざエスコン7用にコントローラーの設定を変更し、その他のゲームの感度設定を調整させるのは馬鹿馬鹿しい。 ゲームのコンセプトや開発ツリー様々なコンテンツは非常に面白いものだと思えるが、それを楽しむための基本的な設定や説明が足りなさすぎるので勿体ない。 668円という安価で買ったとしても正直返金してインディーゲームを買った方が100倍有益である。 シリーズのフ…
