[Leafhopper]

I like most of this list and Flight Simulator X being that high.

Do we really call Swat 4 a sim though? As amazing as it is?

 

[Kandrick]

2 Falcon 4.0

That's the one i spent the most time with.

 

[Hylian7]

Elite: Dangerous is missing from that list. That game is incredible.

We'll never know there reasoning as they only talk about 25. :/


But glad ETS2 is 9th. That game has stolen some time from me and the new expansion is great!

 

[Viper3]

WTF. Where's Jane's WWII Fighters?

 

[RP912]

Game Dev Tycoon....where is it?

 

[KKRT00]

Yep, there cant be better suggestion for a first place than Flight Simulator X.

 

[Fasty]

Elite: Dangerous is missing from that list. That game is incredible.

I'm not sure how "sim-like" it is though exactly. Having a speed limit in space for example?

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

Solid list.

 

[atomic moth]

WTF. Where's Jane's WWII Fighters?

There needs to be a lot more Jane's simulations on here. A lot.

Also, while I agree with Flight Simulator being at the top, I'm guessing they used X as the overarching title and didn't include the previous installments - most of which were great and packed with content.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

No a-10 tank killer, this list is rubbish.

 

[maquiladora]

It's missing F-19

 

[jotun?]

No Kerbal Space Program? Blasphemy!

 

[Shining Sunshine]

No Dating Sims? I call bias.

 

[Fat4all]

Goat Simulator is the GOAT.

 

[Watevaman]

Glad to see RACE07 up there but kinda sad there's no GTR2. That's one of the best racing sims ever imo.

 

[Data West]

American Truck Simulator is one of my most anticipated games of 2015.

 

[Zeth]

Assetto Corsa yeah!

 

[pottuvoi]

I wonder if Dwarf Fortress should be in the list.
If certainly simulates things.

No Kerbal Space Program? Blasphemy!

Agreed.

 

[KKRT00]

I wonder if Dwarf Fortress should be in the list.

No different than any strategy game.

 

[Xater]

2 Falcon 4.0
3 Silent Hunter 3

I'd take both of these over Flight Simulator X. They were not just great simulations but also fun games.

Also I really think Kerbal Space Program should have made this list.

Edit: And where the hell is Comanche 4? That game was awesome.

Flight Simulator deserve first spot, because a lot of aviation students are actually using it for learning.

 

[Sijil]

No mention of Fleet Command, wow... Good list otherwise.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Elite: Dangerous is missing from that list. That game is incredible.

How can you simulate something that doesn't really exist?

 

[Teknopathetic]

RPS is really cranking out these top # lists...

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

RPS is really cranking out these top # lists...

I thought the same thing. Guess they need their clicks

Glad to see Janes longbow 2 on there. I played a ton of that one.

 

[InfYn]

RPS is really cranking out these top # lists...

Maybe they'll explain themselves if asked why.

"We're Making Top 10 Lists, And Why That's A Good Thing"

 

[Turin Turambar]

RPS is really cranking out these top # lists...

Well, at this point it's clear they are going to make one for each genre. Strategy, fps and simulators done, for now.

 

[And_Boy]

Soon Kerbal Space Program @TOP5

 

[Nikodemos]

No U.S. Navy Fighters?

No Sub Command either.

 

[-Amon-]

Competent list.

 

[AzerPhire]

Longbow 2 should be higher. The co-op in that game was absolutely amazing.

 

[Fragamemnon]

Pretty competent list. SH3 might be a bit high on the list but damn if that game modded up isn't something real special even today.

Glad to see some real niche games like Steel Beasts and Dangerous Waters get some airtime. I kind of thing they slept on Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations but again there's only 50 entries.

 

[| Praxis |]

Silent Hunter 3 with a few mods is one of my favourite games.
