well, falcon bms is kind of different and maybe a bit crazy

falcon 4.0 came out in like 1998 and sucked. iirc, when the developer (microprose) when kaput, there was a leak of the falcon 4.0 source code to the community. from there, the flight sim spergs kind of went crazy with modding the game and turning it into something that's acceptable

now we have some huge overhaul mods like bms, which basically turn it into a whole new game, and probably the best flight sim out there for a modern fighter jet

Yeah, I know, I have a warthog and everything.

Falcon BMS i can honestly say is the only game I've every played where you have to use a 17 megabyte excel macro to configure your input devices, and it's still such an infuriating piece of poo poo that people unironically say "it's worth just spending the three or four hours to learn the settings file structures so you can write them yourself"

i had no idea what godus was until now. lol

During the early afternoon of 26th May 2013, 18-year-old Scot Bryan Henderson tapped on Peter Molyneux's Curiosity cube for the last time. He had won the game.

A tiny message appeared on the screen of his smartphone. It contained an email address for someone at 22Cans, the Guildford studio Molyneux had founded after leaving Microsoft and traditional game development behind.

Bryan, confused but intrigued, followed the instructions. Have I really won, he asked? An email appeared with a link to a video. In it Molyneux, dressed all in black and set against a virtual cube, delivers a message of congratulations.

The prize? In the months before Curiosity's release, Molyneux had hyped it up, promising it would be "life-changing" for whoever discovered it. "Life-changing." Quite the claim, and Molyneux's video message repeats the words. But how? You will become a digital god, Molyneux proclaims in the video, of 22Cans' next game, Godus. And, you will receive a cut of the money made by Godus from the start of your reign to its end.

"That, by any definition of the word, is life-changing," Molyneux says.

18 months later, as Bryan approaches his 21st birthday, he has yet to become God of Gods, he has yet to receive the "riches" Molyneux promised him, and it's looking increasingly likely he never will.

Rookersh posted:

It also never really rewards you in any meaningful way. As soon as you start figuring out the greater puzzles of the island, some of which are actually quite fascinating, you get rewarded with.....Johnathon Blow talking about the sacrifices he's made. Johnathon Blow talking about being an indie dev. Johnathon Blow masturbating to his love of art. Like the reward for doing the most complex/exciting things in the game is a front row ticket to some FMV sequences Blow put together about art, which isn't satisfying at all! It puts a massive damper on any desire to actually further explore the world and figure out what the core of the game is, because you assume it's just going to be more of that ( and word so far is that it IS more of that. ).

ahahah fuuuuuuck

Here is one of the endings.

It contains the piss jug, for those curious. It's also as you can see gotten by doing cool puzzle poo poo with the world, not the screens, as I mentioned.

Another one shows you a 10 minute unskippable BBC drama.

Another one supposedly has Johnathon Blow painting, to show you it's art.


These are the rewards you get for solving the tough, island wide puzzles/thinking outside the box.
