asset rip?
I watched some yt video on this game and it feels like they just copied assets from MWO and improved visuals. Is there any truth to that? I have over 1000hrs in MWO and get that feeling. Not sure if this game is worth it just to see my 3070ti rtx in action.

If you want to play this game because you want to watch your hardware in action.....

Think again... This game has issues with RTX along with not being well optimized.
We could add your name to the list of people who have issues with the game on their awesome systems.

Now If I were PGI and I had MWO - why would I go to all the trouble to make different looking mechs when I already had the assets......

Hmmmm.... I don't think the answer there is a hard one.

Would this be considered an asset flip if it was made by the same people that made MWO?

just seems like an odd "muh graphics card" flex

how can anyone not know that the two are developed by the same people? not in this day and age

EDIT: previous post check confirms, insufferable amount of spec/graphic card flaunting posts. one of those strange types

Everyone knows UE4 is all about CPU anyway. We could bully him more over that.

low hangers

too easy. id rather just ignore.

sadly id had a week or so away, id finally cracked and got the f16 in dcs, and reinstalled that, and also went back to GR breakpoint since....wow i dont know, at least 18 months- 2 years as alot had changed (immersive mode, ghost experience, ai teammates) it was crap on release but is a little bit better now. not to wild lands standard or OG ghost recon but better.

unfortunately i see very little changed. sad

Why go for DCS and not Falcon 4?

You would think if they were going to flex, they'd at least have gone with a 3080. Maybe dual cards. But a 3070? Who gives a ♥♥♥♥?

i already have allied force, og falcon and bms 4.34.

i just am very fond of dcs i have a long running (since about 08, when black shark was stand alone) love of the sim and the new 2.7 overhaul is quite frankly f@cking amazing, the supercarrier and the f14 is something 10 year old me would have had a nerdgasm about

and yes, thats the reason i was slow on the uptake for the module, that and the fact that it takes at least 2 years to be worth while, early access is an obsession of eagle dynamics that they take to the extreme

Fair dos. Was just not a big fan of DCS. Mean played Lock-On back in the day but I just don't find what I want out of it. Also the DLC plan does put me off.

yeah i get that, it is very "paradox" and i would never try and oversell to someone who is on the fence, its a big outlay and not only that theres peripherals etc.

its choices really. my first love (pc gaming wise) is flight sims, all the way back to 92-93 with f29 retaliator....f19 stealth fighter...TFX.....etcetera, so ill always have a weak spot for flight sims

if im honest ive spent a prohibitive amount on dcs modules, and thats a mistake as i only use maybe 3-4 planes max.....and am only really fairly proficient on one (warthog)

We missed you too. I was wondering why you dropped off the face of the earth. :steamhappy:
