BF3 is a perfect example.. You got FPS, You got tanks, You got planes, etc.. So it has it all, but no one aspect is very detailed. That is to say everything is very dumbed down, more 'game' than 'simulation'

As a die hard flight sim guy, I got to have 'details' and 'realism' first and formost.. Which typically means I need a good flight model first and formost.. Everything else is icing on the cake! That is to say you can have the best graphics (icing) out there, but, if the filght model (cake) is bad no amount of icing will make it taste good

Which brings us back to the $
