EtherealN Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 I also agree that Bioware's Dragon Age is probably the best game of 2009. But I still voted for Black Shark since I know I'll be playing it A LOT longer than I will Dragon Age. Probably have had and will continue having more hours of fun with DCS than I have/will with Dragon Age. Very much agreed. Dragon Age is a masterpiece (if a bit cheesy at times :P ), but in the simple metric of staying power I do not think I'll still have it going strong in a year the same way I do with DCS:BS. Very limited "replay value" in a game like DA, whereas DCS:BS is constantly getting reinforced with new singleplayer stuff (and a very simple way of making your own, as opposed to the complet kit needed for DA) and the online is just blissful. So while DA is "better" in some metrics, simple staying power makes DCS:BS a winner. (And besides, while DA is good there's nothing revolutionary in it, while DCS:BS has managed to reinvent a genre, IMO.)

Shaman Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Probably not, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Would be great exposure for the DCS series.

joey45 Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 or a MOD can do it.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

isoul Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Guys I don't want to be messenger of bad news but Dragon Age, although a hardcore RPG, has a vast audience compared to a hardcore helicopter simulation such as DCS:BS. For a simulation to be in second place is a tremendous achievement and I think that beatting Dragon Age is almost impossible (the fact is that most people, when they see a new simulation is out, they just "skip to the next article" while in a new RPG they will probably read a few lines before rejecting) Simulations such as Black Shark are not for the "majority of people", they are for the few... and personally I am proud to say that I have a few flight hours with it.

EtherealN Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Dragon Age: Origins - 405 DCS: Black Shark - 392 Now, what was that defaitism I read earlier in this thread? :P I bet that the VE3D people running this thing are going "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Why didn't we bother writing about that thing?" Teaches them to ignore the best genre in electronic entertainment. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
