I am slowly warming up to Brad in QLs and things. I used to dislike him a lot but felt I had to like him because he was a big help in the SC2 GB community and helped to promote/participate in the little tournaments we ran. But as my appreciation for Brad increases, my rage against Ryan grows as well. Fuck Ryan Davis
 
Ravaged with both awesome (because of dat choppah) and sad because no one is playing it.

It reminded me of Silent Horizons or whatever that space-based FPS was called.
 
The part were they are in the glider and they are climbing with that button pressing and the sound, that killed me.

Haven't laughed this much since laddergoat.
 
Speaking of Flight Sims, will Microsoft ever release like a new Fligh Simulator? I mean a real one, not the Microsft Flight stuff.
 
Sorry I offended you, but I've seen the other flight sims they quick looked, and this by far looked the most boring to me.

You didn't offend me, I just had to sigh at the comment because it sounded like something a 10 year old kid would say.

Even for a flying game that was boring as hell. All the interesting parts of that genre were gone.

I've played it, it's a decent game with good flying mechanics and a very accurate flight model - You know, what people who care about flying games tend to look for. Does it lack content? Very much so but it's not "boring" by any means if you are actually into the genre.

Won't happen.

Why? Did they sell bad?
 
A lot of new quick looks from GiantBomb today -- loving it. Vinny is probably my favorite on commentary.

FLIGHT was horrible, didn't do quite well and they pulled the plug on it. Money down the drain and I doubt they are up for creating a full on simulator which takes a lot of money and effort because the flight sim crowd isn't as interesting as the big casual crowd.

So unless miracles happen, Microsoft's true flight simulators are dead.

What? How come? I sounded like a 10 year old because I found something you liked to be boring? I don't understand the reasoning.

edit:

Wow, I don't understand why everyone is being hostile towards my opinion. Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I'm not speaking about flight sims in general or the people who like them, by calling them boring. I'm talking about Aerofly FS .

aah, that's too bad, I really enjoyed the flight simulator games.

Because coming down on a game in a genre you clearly don't play, with a gameplay that doesn't stimulate you mentally is very childish. I'd say a normal adult would be able to say "Okay, it might be a good game but it's not a genre or game type that interests me, I'll just shut up". Instead of "boring ass flying game!" which is something a kid would say.

Have some respect and tolerance for genres outside of your gaming spectrum.

Yeah, Microsoft's flight games had a big following and a massive modding community.

I would rather they had said "Okay, we don't find this game viable any longer" and then move on instead of creating a pseudo sequel that their new intended crowd doesn't want to touch and completely shits on their true fanbase.

Why are getting so defensive that someone called a genre you like boring? I am sure people call genres of games I like boring, but I am not gonna start talking down to someone because they did.

Respect and tolerance for genres? People aren't allowed to watch a game for an hour and decide they think it's boring?

Are you a crazy person?

Why the hell would one watch an entire HOUR of a game from a genre they clearly don't like? And yes they can watch it all they like but if they don't care about the genre and really don't have any tangible experience to compare it with, the verdict is quite predictable.

Doesn't make any god damn sense.

Yeah, see this wasn't what I was saying. It's true that I don't play flight sims. But I never said they were boring or bad. Heck I think some of the games they Quick Looked were awesome. And I have a huge respect to everyone who plays those games, because they require a level of discipline and patience, that is not common.

Now re: Aerofly FS, I still believe it's boring. It doesn't have the level of details other flight sims have, and it looked like there was nothing worth doing in the game. Now you can disagree with me, but I will not apologize or back off for having an opinion about a flight sim game.
And honestly? I think it's childish to disrespect people who don't share your opinion about a genre. I think YOU should have some respect and tolerance for gamers with different tastes than yours.

I think with todays engines there could be some awesome Flight Sims.

Flight Simulator 2013 with Frostbite and moving traffic and pedestrians.

The only thing that doesn't make sense is your crazy ass opinion that people aren't allowed to have a negative opinion on a game because of bullshit like respect and tolerance.
