I generally don't play online any longer so I hope the AI bots are decent.

Great actor, and further reminder not to ever hike alone.

He looked familiar to me in his photo, but looking over his IMDB page I'll be damned if I can figure out what it is I am remembering him from...

I know him from Oceans Thirteen where he played the tech genius that Pacino's character brought in to do the AI computer stuff.

I enjoyed SimCopter back in the day. I am glad that they will have missions for helicopters.

i'm getting a baaad feeling about this. ubisoft open world kinda hints it'll be assassins creed: star wars.

idk, GR: Wildlands was excellent. Breakpoint, not that much but to their credit, they listened to fan feedback and fixed a number of problems.

I just want a survey flight sim that has a quick mission generator and configurable flight models. lol, I basically want Janes Fighters Anthology with a fresh coat of paint.

In that case, you might want to look into DCS World's Flaming Cliffs 3 module. This is very old school at its core and also "sim light" like Jane's.
Flaming Cliffs 3 is pretty much a sequel of LOMAC. It has slightly dated graphics but it should be perfectly OK for most of us old geezers who grew up bombing square or triangular pixels in ye olde sims of yore.

Thanks! Will take a looksy.

I remember going to the local monthly computer show here in San Diego and seeing the San Diego Flight Sim group all LAN'd together playing Falcon. I was super impressed as I had only really played the Janes and F-19\117 up to that point. After seeing the manual and needing one of the CH flight sticks, I passed.

I am cautiously optimistic for this title. I wish you could play with AI teammates but I may still give it a go.

Jokes on me I guess. I thought this game was already out judging by some details I've read online.

I thought it was open world but from what I understand, that is not the case and it's entirely linear.

Oh well, back to play State of Decay again.

if you like Tom Clancy kind of stuff, I highly recommend you read Flight of the Old Dog. Takes place in the height of the cold war and sets up a whole world of about 15 books. It was a series way ahead of it's time and talks about things like stealth bombers about a decade before the B2 and F117. B.U.F.F.s forever.

Yup, really enjoyed the Flight of the Old Dog books when I was growing up. Read them as a teen. I think the last I read was Tin Man.

May need to go back and check them out again. Everything out now is Navy SEAL this or Navy SEAL that.

This *looks* excellent. I have no knowledge of the developer though so I'll wait for some reviews.

Can someone in the know - but able to overlook the 'this isn't what a Battlefield should be' pre-bias - let me know how the solo/co-op experience in Portal is, now. I'm aware you can't level past a certain point. I'm aware the game went out in a total state, initially, and still has some lingering bugs and performance issues.

But as someone who primarily plays Quake 3/Black Ops CoD/GR: Wildlands, I'm wondering if I can scrap a few dozens out of this with friends/alone, while enjoying the open maps and the scenery destruction - any informed insight would be appreciated.

I enjoy playing it solo against bots. I really like the Portal feature to setup and create my own game setups.

At 48, this was a classic from my early PC gaming days. Think it came free with a video card or something. Kinda wish they'd have given it a graphics overhaul though.

Forced?!?! Lol, how about not making your car so easy to steal that any street urchin could do it.

Will this scratch my AIX2 itch?

Nice, I worked on that mod back in the day. Made some AI navmeshes. Was a fun time.

So Twitter will just become even more of a shit filled cesspool of hate and violence, got it.

Versus the liberal shit filled cesspool it is now?

Never been a big "royals" fanboy but the queen always seemed to me to be a classy lady. RIP.

I'm sorry but there are just too many streaming services. I want to watch some of these shows on FX or Paramount+ or whatever but I am not paying you extra in addition to my Dish service (which I like frankly), Netflix and Amazon.

I know I know; I can cut the cord and choose my options a la carte but even then, I will be paying more for 8 different streaming services than I would with Dish, Netflix and Amazon.

I just don't care any longer, if it's not on one of the three services I listed above, I am just choosing to not watch any more streaming services that I have to pay for. Give me them for free with unskippable commercials, i don't care, and make the app available on Roku too while I am in fantasy land.

This was getting widely bashed over in r/pcgaming for it's inclusion of denuvo. I dunno, would that make it a no-buy from you?

I thought 4 was good but missions were repetitive. Wish they branched out from WW2.

Game looks amazing! Wow, I remember how great James Longbow looked back in the day. This makes it look like Kings Quest.

Now for my smart ass comment...can I play as a guy with a manpads and shoot down my buddies?

Can I play this solo?
