Aces High General Discussion / Re: Is Aces High Worth Buying?
« Last post by AKKuya on Today at 06:52:04 PM »You'd be better off making your own game than buying this one and making an Aces High 4. There isnt a following large enough to justify paying money for the player base. A solid WW2 open world flight sim would draw the players away on its own.
There is potential for bringing in tons of new and returning players. It's about innovation and sustainability.
Innovation requires fresh talent to create the new game at the core level of code and programming. They would begin a new chapter in Aces High.
Sustainability happens by keeping the methods of the game that works best.
1) Monthly subscription that entitles a player to full access of all features
2) Limited free access to online content to peek at what is more to get with subscription
3) Keeping the 3 chess piece countries for tradition

Aces High General Discussion / Is Aces High Worth Buying?
« Last post by AKKuya on Today at 04:21:01 PM »Does Aces High possess the capability of improving with a whole new updated version? Would that appeal to present day gamers? Can a WW2 based combat flight simulator compete against missiles and jet aircraft?
Hypothetical:
Would an existing player who had the money be able to buy the game, hire a team of programmers, and market Aces High 4?
or,
Will Dale sell the game to a gaming company?
This is the real question pertaining to all the comments and suggestions for the game.
If I had the money, then I would buy the game and hire programmers plus start marketing the new version. That's me. I once started a topic on the players buying the game over a decade ago for a million dollars. Dale responded X 5 for the amount. What would be the asking price now?

« Last post by CptTrips on Today at 03:10:13 PM »Yeah the beginning is just the premise of saving people and origins of the machine. Season three is when it started to develop deeper into AI vs AI, and bring new characters, who are smoking hot. Its The machine vs Samaritan, while also maintaining the original premise to some degree. The last 2 seasons are more indepth related to what Samaritan was actually capable of. I like Finch in the show, the creator of the machine and his ethical considerations for developing it like he did. I also like Reese because he's a phantom and I like that chitlots of shootouts, critical thinking, clever cast and a storyline full of reasoning.
Its hard as hell for me to binge watch as well. Only recently have I been able to get into shows. I watched the first season of Westworld, which I really enjoyed. Been skeptical on the second by maybe I'll try it. There are so many, and being an hour long... you really have to make some tough decisions on which to actually watch
Yeah the season 1 Westworld was really interesting. I think it lost me around season two.
Depending on your service some of my favorite bingables I recommend are:
The Wire
Deadwood
Rome I & II
If you haven't see those yet. Even if you have, I binge The Wire every couple of years. Yo! Omar cumin! Omar cumin!
