I heard that you can't even fly a pterodactyl in it.
Pathetic

After the cluster fuck that was their previous release on top of the mass amount of actual DLC so I can't just buy the game and run with it, there was no way in hell I would buy this game.
The last flight Sim game that I had was flight simulator x, and honestly even that one if I hadn't got it as a gift I probably wouldn't have purchased because even that, the amount of DLC that it had was outrageous, I was lucky enough that I got it on disc so I'm not bombarded with them all the time, but I had looked at the steam page because I was curious about it and man was I in for a shock.
I wish I still had all the discs to my flight simulator 2004, it did basically the same exact thing that X did, and arguably was better than the previous iteration of flight simulator without all of the stupid paywalls. I just threw the disc in and it ran, didn't have to wait days for it to download, it didn't monopolize part of my drive and it didn't need a NASA supercomputer plus Internet to run
Turns out that a massive Earth-scale game that requires streaming of gigabytes worth of data every play session for each user and has next to no local storage is a really awful idea.
X-plane 12 is looking better and better.
This is one of the most dumbest Parts of this game, everyone's complaint of the last iteration was the massive download times, and the inefficiencies in the game causing it to lag even on high end systems. And their solution to that was to increase the specs that it's required to run the game and require a high speed internet on top of that? They more or less made it so anyone running satellite internet can't buy their game and anyone that lives in like 70% of the US that still has absolute dog shit internet speeds couldn't even imagine playing it. My mom still has a 5/5 mbit/s, that's the fastest anyone offers in her area, even downloading the previous game took ages there's no way in hell I'm going to recommend her buying this game
There's a new flight simulator? Shit, I still haven't played the one I bought like a year or two ago.
Let me guess,it doesn't work on Linux.
It doesn't work on anything, apparently. That's kinda the point of the post.
Ah I see.
You don't have to inject Linux into the conversation just because Microsoft is in the title
Have you been on Lemmy?
Nah am guessing, because when I see a game with negative reviews I always assume it doesn't work on Linux.
Lmao, it apparently doesn't work on Windows either.
Bruh 💀
Works fine now that they fixed the problem, but that was an oops for sure.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
