The Best Game Out There
« on: October 07, 2021, 09:53:19 AM »
When I think of the best game out right now  there are a few factors.

1. Playability-- does the game have multiple ways to be played as in more than 10

2. Graphics -- are the graphics decent enough as far as terrain, vehicles, etc.

3. FUN Level -- does the game provide high levels of FUN


I have only seen and played one game that offers all three of those factors and it is ARMA 3.
different era's, vehicles, planes, helicopters, weapons and play styles ranging from liberation to king of the hill to wasteland, mikeforce

The MODS, so many mods for this game. The holy hand grenade of Antioch mod if the funniest one I have seen yet. Zombie mods, starship troopers mods, there are a lot.

I recently met up with the POTW guys on arma and they have a badarse server to play on.

If your looking for a fun game to play with what seems like unlimited scenarios then look no further.

Apache attack run in 1968 Vietnam.

For me, based on what I've played, I still say Battlefield 4 is the best.

And you can pick it up dirt cheap now days. 

Plenty of servers still active.  Tight gameplay.  Good visibility.  Good mechanics.

YMMV
Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

The only game I started in 2000 and played almost daily since is AH

Try many others and end up back here

So to me this is the best game out there

Same for me.  AH is about the only game I play anymore.  Still love me those scenarios. :)

I have a few favourites I keep returning to, best of their genres in my opinion. I can't pick one I would call the best, they all scratch different itches.

WW2 flight sim : AH of course. can't beat the events.

modern flight sim : DCS. Just take a look at YT vids of the Tomcat cockpit and you'll get it. Closest I'll ever get to flying a real jet fighter.

tactical shooter : Squad. more casual than ARMA but more realistic than battlefield. hit's a nice middle ground for me.

engineering : KSP cause blowing up rockets until you figure out how to make them not blow up never gets old.

casual : Stardew Valley. no time limits, no dying, no set goals, just do what you want kinda game. it's a good relaxing game.
Ingame : AKRocco

For me the decision is simple.

Flame throwers and Napalm

Realistic comms. If your unit is up country and you don't have a ground spike or are sitting in a vehicle to boost your signal then the comms transmission is weak and faint.

The playability has to be there.
