Skyviper 1,101 Posted May 12, 2014 Well its not completely corny ... its a good time killer. I'm talking about an old game that came in 2011 called Airport Firefighter Simulator its a neat game that allows players to do as the title says fight various fires at an airport ... of course some of them happen at such a frequency one has to wonder if there is a little dirt bag running around lighting various things on fire. The reason I like it so much is because it one deals with aviation and two is a kind of SAR type game and I love those kind of games yeah blowing shit up is cool but there is something neat about being a coast guard pilot and pulling some helpless sole from a sinking ship. Another reason I like this game is because its the kind of sandbox game that I like and it has TONS of potential if it had the right amount of man power and resources it could've been great. They obviously took short cuts with certain things like the NPCs walking around but they did many others things such as add air traffic and ground traffic to give you that airport feel. Your not just some dude in a truck driving around with a bunch of parked and vehicles forever frozen in time looking as if they're doing something or are about to do something nope you have to watch yourself because a 747 taxing could be right around the corner or check both ways when crossing that runway on your way to put out a fire burning a Helicopter ... a failed to do that and a 747 landed on me... such a career ender. The annoying thing too is that the other cars, loaders, food trucks, etc don't get the hell out of the way when you have your sirens blaring ... the planes stop but not everyone else. Its also a neat game because unlike other games that throw you in state of the art equipment your first day... these suckers give you a little SUV and make you check the fence line of a 24 km airport (which loads all at the once which is why your computer will lag like hell around the fire station because everything even the interior are loaded) anyway while you're checking that fence line its up to you and your handy fire extinguisher to chase down every last call of burning trash cans or false alarms. If you're didn't bring your A game you'll be checking that fence for a while ... if you have then you get to move on to bigger trucks and bigger fires after your first mission. For some reason I still liked using this truck.... But I find myself starting to like this bad girl as well. Just hit a button and done! The only major gripe I have other than the graphics and traffic not getting the hell out of the way when you're running lights and sirens is that there is not a single f*ing pool table or weight room or anyone to interact with while your spending hours at the station killing time. You can take a four hour nap that's it. Put a pool table in that sucker or some kind of pong game or something and when the alarm happens get moving. You can drive around all of the airport but I don't recommend it because something could happen at the other end and then its a long drive to get there. You can also make sure your water and fuel tanks are topped off and that's about it for fun unless you want to dink around with truck and its equipment. Some of the alarms are funny too like a plane will crash and everyone goes out there with you and that's all they do is that they are parked while YOU do all the work oh sure someone is spraying water .... at the ground. and not at the fire next to the fuel tank... but why not its not like things explode. But that's my guilty pleasure what's yours? Yes I am aware there is a new one but the reviews on it so far about are less than pleasing ... there are some bugs that need to get worked out. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexx_Luthor 57 Posted May 13, 2014 some of them happen at such a frequency one has to wonder Ah, a SAC B-47 airbase? Nice I gotta try that. That actually looks kinda neat. Met an old lady the other day, she had English accent, she said her husband was in RAF, I asked what, she said fire fighter. Cool. She said they had pics of bad things that happened. Anyways she wore an amazing orange/tango/mango/dreamcicle shirt with marshmellow white hat and pants. I think that's what I'll paint my truck. Anyways she finally "admitted" when they moved to the states...1960s...so I figured she's pre~tom~baker but anyways I told her I had 12 and 13 foot Tom Baker scarves, and that I *knew* how long a scarf can get before it gets in the bycicle chain, but don't ask how I know. She loved that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
