Help Cliffs of dover to get sales!
Now when we finally have a "stable and fisnished" official product its time for us to help Luthier and his team!
This thread at rise of flight inspired me, where the producer asks the community for help http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewto...p?f=45&t=27106 So why dont we do the same for CLOD that we are so passionate about http://www.amazon.com/IL-2-Sturmovik...liffs+of+dover Help CLOD them with good reviews to get the average up!! |
That's a good idea actually, and worked nicely for RoF. Just like ROF, CLoD was murdered by reviews on Amazon after its release, but now its only fair to people who consider buying it, that they would know "CLoD is much improved" !
|
Does anyone else think maybe it would be good to either do a free weekend or give 3 day guest passes? RO2 did this to boost player numbers after a bad release. Once people see how much better it is now, especially online they might buy it, people could give them to squadmates who still play '46 etc.
|
Done.
Great idea Anders. ;) Unfortunately it takes 48hrs for the reviews to be published though. :( |

The minority that think this game is top notch, does not, and will not, outweigh the majority that have already casted their views. It might have been possible a few weeks or months after release to make it right and get a re-review. Too long down that road, and in the end, Cliffs is still not "complete" enough to deserve a better score. |
An honest review of this game will not get anyone interested in it.
|
.
Speak with enthusiasm of this game to all around you even those how do not play games but could know someone that does! :-P |
I made all my movies also with the purpose of helping CoD through a rough patch. I don't know how many sales they generated, but a few for sure... And it was purely for egoistical reasons, in that sales = sequel which I really want!
|
I had to lie a little bit to give it 5 stars but we need to raise the average, which is unfair. ;)
Thanks for the idea Anders. S! |
ROF has moved on a long way too, for example it has an official dynamic campaign (still in beta and being worked on though) and an unofficial one, plus many more aeroplanes upcoming and even a new Channel map, which is a first for a WW1 sim I think, it is a whole different philosophy over on ROF. Indeed, most negative reviews nowadays stem from either someone buying it not knowing its a simulation, or because they have really terrible Internet connections and cannot download the updates.
CLod has been polished with the new update, but honestly the single player aspect is lacking and only seems to come to life with 3rd parties such as Desastersoft which really seem to show it off very well! I am interested in what 1C's upcoming news, hopefully they haven't given up and will come out with new ideas on how to keep this franchise going strong into the future. |
I posted about the patch over on the iRacing forums. There's a few flight simmers there who have already said they may purchase it/start playing again and give it a try.

I dont see many more 3rd party campaigns coming for CLoD. The only glimpse of seeing good come from it, is if modders get ahold of it. |
[QUOTE=lokitexas;471038]Yeah, lie about how this game is good. Thats pretty sad. Everytime I see things like this it makes me cringe. If the game was good to begin with, or after all the "work" was done to it, nobody would need to lie to other people. It should stand on its own merits. It doesnt.
Yes and if you want the team to have cash to give you BOM then this is one way... Or dont, but then dont complain if BOM doesnt deliver your expectations... Its like those people who are too lazy to go and vote and then complain about the politics... |

Yeah, I'm with lokitexas on this one.
People like you are the reason nobody takes reviews seriously. What you're doing is called "astroturfing" and it's essentially just false advertising. My life will not be ruined if BOM bombs. |

I'd recommend the game to anyone interested in flight sims as I think it's quite good.
But then, they're fully aware of it anyway. All 2 of them. And they have it already. This game is not going to get better, nor sell any more copies other than a desultory few per month that might pay for the bandwidth you twats use up arguing with each other. Look to Moscow - and when I say look to Moscow, I don't mean create endless threads about how you, a bus-driver from Luton, would/could have done it better. |

I dont generally like the +1 , but in this case....+1 Ben |
Again, no balls. Nothing to add. Just sniping like women. Usual banana stuff.
|
While you guys sit at home and cry and whine we go out and tell the world that CLOD has got better and is now recommendable and maybe, jut maybe it can help the developers and give them that extra buck that they need to make BOM a great sim from the start... Just a thought....
|
So you lie in hopes that people will spend their money on a bugged game in hopes that that money will be spent on fixing the next iteration?
Sounds like your trying to get people to spend their money for personal gratification. That kinda sucks. |

Create a great product...it'll sell. Developers know it.

I'm not saying buying CoD would be bad, but it's very unlikely to directly help the team. CoD is now a finished product, maybe not what we want it to be, but it's done. |
"Quality" will always attract .. even if it takes time to get there! :grin:
CA just released their latest video of Total War Rome2 showing the siege of Carthage (3rd Punic war) and it's a jaw-dropper. i can see gamers upgradng their computers just to play it ... CLOD / BOM could be the same ! i've already mentioned CLOD in a few forums, showing quality destruction models. I'll wait for BOM to see if it's worth the effort to pump. . |
Quote:
The last patch has shown that there is quality there, but it's just not a finished product. So I'm putting CoD down to an experience. Not nessaserily a bad one either. The dev team and Illya know full well that the majority of us will be hesitant about jumping in on reputation alone after this. I just hope there will be a collector's edition left over if I decide to buy it ;) |
CloD has just received a positive 'revisited' review in PC Pilot which should help
|
Quote:
So I'm glad PC Pilot took the effort and came back with a positive view. Certainly won't hurt to write to our favorite sim-sites and ask them to give this final CLOD patch a fresh chance. I tried to do my part by mailing RockPaperShotgun about the new patch and asking if they might consider giving it some coverage in their Friday Sim section. The response was certainly worth the 2 minutes I spent writing them, now we just need to hope he doesn't want to burn CLOD in a bonfire anymore and ends up writing something positive this time round. =) Quote:

Hell no. Spreading BS to hedge a bet on something two years out? Not likely.
