rookie49 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 ..spending 60$ or even 100$,like in the old days,when sims came with printed book thick manuals! I guess demo's are outdated also......
Finkeren Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Indeed they are. You don't get to watch the first 20mins for free before you decide to go see a movie. If you really want to experience some of what BoS is like, download the free-to-play version of Rise of Flight. It will give you a rough idea.

Leaf Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Welcome to the new world order. Watch some gameplay on YouTube, take user reviews with a mountainous pinch of salt and ask around here for opinions and base your purchase on that. You can always go for the standard edition and upgrade later, if you like.
Feathered_IV Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Lots of videos on youtube too. No shortage of info out there.
1./JG42Nephris Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Indeed a tough comparison. You may get a feel, how the game feels basically , but thats it.
Finkeren Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Not even close as to the campaign. True dat. I was talking about the sim only
ST_ami7b5 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 True dat. I was talking about the sim only Oh, OK.
rookie49 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 You don't get to watch the first 20mins for free before you decide to go see a movie. Silly comparising,as you don't get to star in the movie,but you do get control over the sim......and I actually do have RoF,and bought some DLC,so are they the same developers?
I/JG27_Rollo Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 and I actually do have RoF,and bought some DLC,so are they the same developers? Yes, pretty much. 777 who did RoF are also behind BoS (coupled with 1CGS) and the BoS game engine is based on the RoF engine (with some adjustments/enhancements). Like others said, RoF will get you a great impression of the feeling of flight you'll get in BoS (only much faster in comparison).
DrDag Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I would possibly possibly do generally a 2 plane client free to play. And then sell more planes and additional addons later. I found the way RoF handled it ok, even though it meant additional cost for customers. I could image this would add more money to the devs balance sheets as well as it exposes the game to more people.
-NW-ChiefRedCloud Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Rookie demos for most games went out the window years ago. It's true that some companies like EA have started back with a times play but it isn't a true demo. As mentioned above the only thing you'll get without dropping your money in the slot is free to view in game videos. Now I could sit here and tell you it's great or that it sucks. But it would not be the same as you trying it out. But this is how it is. You decide. Incidentally I believe in demos but to selectively neuter a sim like this to produce a demo would not be worth much to even you. Chief
HeavyCavalrySgt Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 . I guess demo's are outdated also...... I wouldn't say so - I still use them when I find them. Otherwise I try to rely on reviews. For BoS though, I bought in based on my experience with Rise of Flight. If I had known what was planned for the single player campaign, it might have given me more to think about, but I probably still would have bought in.
