As a video game player my whole life I can honestly say 95% of all video games suck, I've never played a "perfect" video game, the closest I think was Medal Gear Solid on PS1. Even the greatest video games (except for the 8bit classics) I can pick apart for hours on imperfections, things that could have been done better. I only play the best games because they are the only ones worth the time. That's how I was led to IL2, I wanted the best WW2 flight sim, I did my research and bought it - For people who are only flight simmers you can put the blind faith in SOW because, frankly, there is no competition in the genre. But for people like me who will gladly move on to another genre if the quality is not up to par to the best games out (of any genre) I'm not so blind. I do give Oleg and the crew serious props for giving these screens in the WIP stages - most studios would never release screenshots that look like these, because even a few bad screenshots could be suicide to the hyper-critical gamer such as myself.
