I just get IL2 Birds of Prey
 

Title says it all. Even though IL2 sturmovik birds of prey is not out till September 8th, i got it today at my local gamestop. If you don't believe me look at my gamer profile. I just beat the campaign, in about 5 hours or so. Am i just lucky, or is my gamestop just dumb?

Welcome to last thursday, we all have the game.

I though it came out Sept 8th?

Not all of us ;)

No we don't. Not released in Aus/NZ yet.:mad:

Well i live in the states. And every site i looked at says Sept 8th. I even went as far as calling a different gamestop and asking if it's out, and they have no idea who i got a copy.

Actually, it came out Sept. 2nd two days ago in the US.

The official date was September 8th, but a lot of stores had it early. This allowed many of us to get our copy before the official release date. ;)

Is the game good. Please rate it from 1 to 10.

5, its not optomized for joystick so its too frustrating trying to line up easy kills and my $130 investment in an ace edge was a total waste of money.

Visuals are a 9, but the game is meh...its like a beautiful retarded woman.

Game is worth having, but hold off on wasting money on a joystick until they fix the deadzone, jumping crap.

9.5/10 The simulation is great. But I'm saddened that the Yak-3 doesn't have the stick, and right canopy. But I'll manage :D Everything else seems fine. Haven't tried Online yet since I'v been hearing two stories, I'll try it tomorrow :D

I sure hope mine comes tomorrow. Either way, I'll be shooting birds out of the sky by either playing BoP or shooting my limit on opening day of dove season.:grin:

I hope you eat what you shoot...pidgeon and ale pie comes highly recommended...(just the breasts)

Actually your just plain dumb. Gamestop.com had a Sept 2 release date over a week before the game came out. I got a call from Gamestop on Wednesday telling the game would be in on Thursday.

Gamestop.com is the only source you should use for release dates. They will lots of times get release date changes before anybody else will because the majority of early game sales comes from Gamestop, and publishers always make sure to keep them info because of that. Gamestop is the only source you should use for release dates.

Anyway I am still on the fence about getting this game. I preordered it but didn't pick it up. I will probably just rent it or something. I dont think I want to waste $50 on it as I doubt it will give much replay value.

mistaken yes, dumb no...

Dumb would be endlessly going on about how you are not going to buy a game on a forum mainly visited by people with the game or with an intention to buy the game....or preordering a game and then not buying it...or going on the previously mentioned type of forum and going on about another release that, frankly, is a game for pre-teens...or banging on about how poor the game's sales will be without actually having a clue what one is actually talking about...

:grin:
