Everybody's playing Fallout 4

And I’m just sitting here, playing a game from 17 years ago.

I can pre-flight and fly the PMDG 737 and 777 in my sleep in FSX, but every single part of Falcon 4 (BMS 4.33 mod) is perplexing to me. I can now pre-flight, taxi, takeoff, and land, but everything else is just absolutely stumping me. I guess the good news is that I did carrier patterns and landing for about an hour last night, and pulled off a bunch of very good carrier landings. So I can fly, I just can’t blow things up or avoid getting blown up.

Fear not, for I too indulge in the classics.

And I’m just sitting here picking pockets in Skyrim.

I tried playing old games that used to look awesome from what I remember. But when I play them I realize that they look terrible:/

60 USD is pretty greedy for only 4 of the main maps. I might hold out and wait for a GOTY edition or something like that, but who knows if my willpower is good enough.

I will never leave GTA 3 and GT3. They are all I need.

Same, except in Morrowind.

I used to be a pretty big gamer back in high school & college, but that was before computer gaming was a thing, really. The few games I have are pretty dated, with my favorite being just as difficult to master. I might have to dust it off before it’s completely unplayable.

I still remember the original Falcon, which was IIRC only available on the tiny, black and white Mac screen. And only one person I knew had a Mac in 1991. The rest of us just suffered through MS Flight Sim on PC.

Borderlands 1, then when I finish that I’m going to start on New Vegas.

I think the last genuine flight Sim that I attempted to play was Lock On Modern Air Combat. It was too in depth for my time.

New Vegas is the shit.

The only game I’ve ever actually been decent at is Pokemon. Faster games go too fast for me. A few friends got me into League of Legends and I’m absolutely horrible.

That’s what I’ve heard. If it glitches half as much as FO3 I’ll be happy.

Half might be accurate. I think.

“My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!” Yells AMGtech as the poison takes effect.

Which is still twice as much as most games.

IIRC it was better than Skyrim as far as glitching/freezing.

You’re so modern.

I'm stuck in Forza Horizon 2-land.

I found a box of old Gamecube games and have been ripping them to my computer and playing them at twice the GC’s native resolution. It is amazing.

Paying 60 for a game then 50 for maps and other game modes should be illegal

New Vegas was absolutely horrific at launch, but got rapidly more stable. I had game ending freezes probably every couple of hours of play at first.

I finally finished the story in Tomb Raider. Only about 2 years after I started it. 97% completion just gotta go finish some more collectable challenges and I’ll be done.

Haven’t started Fallout 4 yet. Still playing Metal Gear Solid V. But tonight while I’m on duty I’ll be flying in a heavily modded Strike Fighters 2 install.

Did you ever get into modding it?

Oh yeah when I 1st got it, I went on a downloading spree for new aircraft and weapons. Combatace.com LOL

That’s where I spend my time when I’m not on here.

Holy shit SF2. I actually did a lot of self-modding of the game, including a series of Royal Navy Grumman Tomcat paints.

Think 10 times more complicated. I can fly LOMAC aircraft easily.

Falcon has been updated so much that it’s basically a new game. High def objects, textures, realistic weather, etc.

The whole flight sim market seemed to dry up.
