[«ΙΞ¢KØ»]

Ya i just saw this announcement. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Does look like probably going to just be microtransactions.
They really havnet showed us anything yet so im not going to post any early judgements yet.

No no, Rogue Squadron gave you a Cheat Codes option, and you didn't have micro-transactions. This is simply the flight element from Clone Wars Adventures, heavily modified, and with cool ship skins.

What the fudge is a micro-transaction?
-- Sort of off topic, but I saw this on a T-Shirt today "I say what others are thinking."
Also Birdo, mentioning you makes me feel old..

Micro-transactions = small little payments required to advance in a game. Sort of like those in-app purchases on Android/iOS apps. Real Racing 3 is notorious for their micro-transactions, still hate that game to this day. Those stupid micro-transactions really ruined an awesomely looking game for me.

They could have let EA make a proper flight sim, would have made money...lol

Not sure a proper flight sim would sell these days.
An arcade game with thrust and fire buttons will though.
It's like our games are devolving into late 70's arcade games.

There's a game called Elite: dangerous coming out soon. It's a 'space simulator' based on the original Elite. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_(video_game)
It was funded through kickstarter (I donated some) and should come out early next year.

I avoid F2P games like the plague. I shall avoid this too even though I am a rabid space sim fan.

[«ΙΞ¢KØ»]

whatever you have moving your mouse side to side will be a  to adjust to having inverted now, but its the price you pay
