Greetings...
Why is my 1964 VW beetle, my dirty gummed up .22 pistol with broken iron sights, and an
empty walmart parking lot - More powerful, maneuverable and faster than most of these
disgusting Car-Wars in space games these days??
An empty Walmart parking lot is almost ALWAYS larger than any game universe...
My .22 pistol with broken iron sights, pointed intuitively if FAR more accurate - faster
on target, and a hell of a lot more damaging than ANY weapon seen in any so called space
sim game....
And my broken down VW Beetle is not only faster in top speed, but can accelerate faster
and stop faster than nearly ANY so called space ship in ANY online space sim game...
Given that for the average monthly price of $10,00 I can BUY nearly 1000 rounds for my
.22, fill up my VW at least 10 times, (empty walmart parking lots are free..)
I think I'll be much more satisfied driving around shooting at empty beer bottles than
playing ANY of the current crop of Online SHIT passing itself off as a space game these
days...

Thanx Lem -
Actually I've been lurking here for over a decade...
No really! I'm completely serious! If you do the math on the numbers that you can pick
up in the current crop of so-called space sims these days - without fail, nearly every
game - 3D. 2D. it doesn't matter - The physics seem to always equate to very nearly always
the same empirical results:
================
Your average 'SHIP' cruises along in the game universe at a max speed (why is there a max
speed? Well, that's obvious!) of between 30-100 m/s In other words - 35 - 110
MILES/HOUR. Some games let you boost speed up into the 300's m/s but really - So the fuck
what? My VW can cruise faster than some silly starship....
Given the very small nature of "USEFUL Acreage" in your typical game - (despite the fraud
tactic of being able to fly forever in a single direction in some games... If there aint
nothing out there and it doesn't get you anywhere - There's no point!!) - Again, your
typical empty Walmart parking lot is usually bigger than any game map. All you need to do
to check my math is drive across one in my VW!!!
- In fact, I'll go so far and actually make the claim that nearly ALL current Game maps
- no matter WHAT game you choose - the USEFUL AREA is no larger than a typical elementary
school playground....
I find it rather ironic that I first learned the speed of light 186,000 miles/Sec ON just
such a playground...
Your typical average elementary school student is usually quite capable of tossing a rock
all the way across the playground... A good rock thrower can usually keep a rock in the
air what? - 5-8 seconds?
Check it out in YOUR favorite game - how long do those bullets last? How long does it
take to cross the (playgr^H^H^H^H^H^H) game map?
Yeah..... You've probably figured out by now, that nearly EVERY space sim that currently
exists - ISN'T a space sim at all....
A little presto chango with the graphics, Add in Gravity and Yeah, it's a bunch of
children throwing rocks and bottles on a playground....
Oops... I shouldn't have told you that...

My VW can cruise faster than some silly starship.... Are you just conjuring all this rubbish out of a hat or did you actually think it all out? Nearly beef you appear to have is based on some fictional parallel universe that only you inhabit.

My VW can cruise faster than some silly starship.... Mebbe so... but even /this/ little kid can tell that your maths sucks. Perhaps 'tis time for you to go back to kindergarten for some practice on the counting blocks?

LMAO!!
Well, perhaps if I go back to Kindergarten - after my lobotomy - I'll be happier with the
current crop of so called games...
It seems to me that a few of you are in severe denial....
Maybe you suffer from the same Arcade-Envy that most of the games these days suffer
from...
