| shikamaru317 said: Well, the last game in the Series, Flight Simulator X, got an 80 on meta, but the new one seems to be a better game in just about every area. Better graphics, more realism, better quality of the simulation mechanics. More content; 30 planes compared to 24 on X, 37k airports compared to 24k on X. It also got a lot of positive previews, so there is a good chance that it will meta at least several points higher than X did as long as it isn’t buggy as hell or horribly optimized. As for Wasteland 3, it will probably review pretty high, considering Wasteland 2 got an 81 on meta, while the directors cut rerelease got an 87 on meta. That is why I put my Wasteland 3 prediction in between those 2 at 86. |
2 more days!!! Or rather one, rumors are download unlocks at 22:00 tomorrow. Excited!
That said, the new one has the potential to be a better game. Reality is, it's not quite finished yet. Optimizations are still very much needed as its struggling on many high end configurations depending on conditions. No helicopters on release and still plenty bugs to fix including auto pilot randomly crashing planes. Also some iconic planes like the 747-400 are missing with more similar style smaller prop planes making up the list. Plus you only get the 30 planes if you buy the premium edition for $120, there are 20 in the standard edition.
So with all that in mind, low 80's is about as much as I expect for release. I've got the premium deluxe version (CAD 160 here) ready to download.
