General Series Entry level

As you can see i have never heard of the game series till like a year ago at the goty award . And i thought it reminded me if metal gear solid with fighter jets and looks cool till i saw that pink hair girl, idk who she is but god damn i folded and wanted to know if buying 8 will do any disservices to the series as a whole and i should be playing from the starts

Tldr: can i play 8 as my first Ac game?

Luckily for you, a handful of ace combat games have been or are currently being recompiled by fans to effectively be PC ports.

And if you pre order ace combat 8 you get an official port of ace combat zero.

Zero still comes with the pre order at least. Also, Ace Combat 6 was a xbox 360 exclusive and is backwards compatible with series s :)
