There must be some sort of psychological condition on the books for people who are utterly shallow (or perhaps lack souls) but refuse to admit to themselves out of pride. Dragon rising is obviously catering to this crowd.

After watching the gameplay footage, I think it’s safe to say that the AI is stupid – not reacting to gunshots and down teammates at all at all; deaf – no reaction to gunshots only a few hundred meters away; and just a little blind. The animation during movement is a little funky, as well, but that’s easily fixed.

Also, with all the talk about “tons of DLC”, I wouldn’t expect much from the moddability(is this a word?), either.

Man, I lone being bitter! Must be an emo phase I’m going through.

I have to laugh when people say that ArmA II is realistic.

It’s not realistic. It’s not well designed either. It’s bug-ridden, slow, and outdated. Its community somehow manages to be both stupid and elitist at the same time. Maybe that’s why BIS dropped the ball with ArmA II. They’re sick and tired of it.

I don’t expect much from OFPDR, but I’m certain it’ll be a better game than ArmA 2.

@ Breaker

The ‘Silencing the Dragon’ 2nd video mentions the editor, although not in much detail. He did make it sound as though it would be similar in power to the original OFP one. What that means for model/texture imports is unclear, but when OFP was released there was no support for importing models until the DEVs released one.

Also, NINE HOURS to cross the island on foot. Wow.

Nah, I like to run around a map the size of a fart vapour seeing who can shoot who the fastest… call of duty all the way.

How does it run? I’m not gonna buy another 20FPS game. ArmA II chugs on my rig and it’s a decent old gal.

I find it disturbing that he didn’t talk about modding support. Mods are what made OFP the legend it is.

Is an instinctual move the same as an instinctive one?
