Man, Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 Sucks Ass · 3:18am Aug 19th, 2020

It runs like hot garbage (below 60 fps on my 6700k 1080 Ti rig), has horrible control issues (plane pitches up when joystick is at rest), and is all around not enjoyable like I had hoped.

Why does every game that come out nowadays feels like it's not even fucking finished?

Mine is still downloading. I've heard mostly good things. If not, I'll wait for patches. Got it because of Game Pass, so no harm done to my wallet.

Because nowadays it usually isn't finished. That's the "Ship it now, Patch it later" mentality at work.

Some of the reviews I've read basically say that almost no hardware can run it well atm

Seven words. Don't worry the moders will fix it.

I got the $120 version cuz I wanted all the nice pretty planes (and cuz my dad owns a Cirrus SR20; the SR22 just has a better engine); I wanted to be able to let him fly it in game.

I was planning on upgrading to a maxed out rig later this year, but god damn, even at medium settings at 1440p, you'd think I'd be able to run this game well, but noooooope.

Also, Flight Sim comes from DTG.

Not the only game I'm waiting for patches for.

Very very impatiently waiting for some patches for Horizon Zero Dawn. Until then, Division 2, RDR2, and another run of Witcher 3.

I remember playing Flight Simulator in Windows 3.0.

I think this one performs better.

I grew up playing all sorts of flight sims with my dad, going all the way back to Jetfighter III. His entire career has been flying planes, both military and civilian. This one does perform and look better than those old games for sure, but man, either they need to optimize this one or I need to throw down a shit ton of money to buy a PC that'll actually run this game well.

It’s Microsoft. Enough said.

welcome to money maker 2020

Yes, I see that even a 2080 Ti It struggle.

Profit over quality, even though quality can/will make more profit.
American economics in a nutshell.😩

I miss buying a game and getting a great experience right off the bat. Sure there'd be glitches, but the game generally felt good. Since like 2014 it seems like every game is shoved out a few months early just to hit that quarter to get investors and what not. It's just wild man.

it's a shame to hear, i was kinda looking forward to it once the price dropped a little

I'm sure it'll get better soon.

I got a Gigabyte GTX 1070, i7-6700k at 3440x1440 (high settings) and I'm averaging 50fps. The only complaint I have is the load times and frequent crashes.

Because even though you seem to think every game coming out nowadays isn't even finished, you still:

Bought the super-de-duper version at double a normal AAA title's launch price, apparently without checking out anything about the game beforehand. The companies do this because customers like you let them.

Man, I love how you assume that I'm a complete fucking idiot. :rainbowlaugh:

You made the blog post complaining about the game after you purchased it, not me. :rainbowlaugh: And I never assumed you were "a complete fucking idiot", but there's an ancient Chinese proverb: "Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

See your reaction to this post above? 5338620

Really? Yay...

If you already knew about the game's problems before you bought it, then this wouldn't have been new information for you, now would it? :rainbowlaugh:

Tfw I didn't know the game would run like shit on my high end computer. :rainbowderp:
