Patience is a virtue...

[Hooves]

Well as a one of those "just wait guys, it will be great" Fellas, I have finally reached my BS limit.

After all the performance issues, and things that I was patient for and all the God DAMN push backs on STEAM US (waiting for friends to get a copy, now they have spent their money else where) and all the ridiculous changes to the 109. They have completely alienated me with this sound dropping issue. I mean For F's Sake, you give me a now ridiculously engine blowing prone plane. which requires my every ounce of attention to make sure its in RPM limits. Then the sound goes out and not subtly either. It sounds like my wife dropped a fork in the garbage disposal and left it running while she went shopping. Then NOTHING. The silence is deafening.

The worst part? Lutheir says Oh 3 Months on that bug. Too bad, so sad. off the the bank with my 50 bucks he goes. tralalalala.

Horse Shiiit. I not only want my money back but I want a damn personal apology.

I bought it to support development and fully expected bugs. But nothing like the half-finished rubbish that was released.

Regardless, I would be much more forgiving if the communication were better. The devs don't seem to be making use of or listening to the community at all - no indication that the bug threads are even being monitored. Starting to get the impression that the western community is not important?

This goes as as far as;where we deliberatly misled?
If CoD was released full well knowingly it was in alpha,well...only an insider has that information.

[SEE]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and right to express it. Threads that are asking peeps to change or moderate them don't work however well intentioned.

I knew the state of CLoD on release and still purchased it. I think it has improved in many areas, particularly in performance but I do find it odd that the devs seem to ignore, or place on the back burner, the more serious problems that everyone hoped would be a priority. I'm not a programmer but would expect that many of these problems were obvious long before the title was released.

I don't regret buying it despite the bugs. I think it was money well spent and prepared to wait for the 'Pheonix to rise from the ashes'. Meanwhile I will continue to enjoy it in its present state.

AA doesn't function at all, we also mislead you about the PC's not having enough ram at the Russian show so thats why it looked so choppy and the FPS was appalling. Ubisoft advertising directX 11 is just an oversight, and when we put cooperative play on the box we just assumed it may work. Yep, definetley my fault Robtek.

There you go, making my point: only talking about the faults!
Not one word about the fixed things.
Are you trying to prove freycinet is right after all???

and just when I thought you turned all soft and fluffy, good to see your still hammering away at it Tree, at least we know CoD still has some life

lol, well I know I sound a little gloomy, its just that this game could of been soooo brilliant, Its like a wonderful looking cake you lick the top of it and its a taste sensation but when you get to the core its a little bit sickening.

Post of the month for me, and sums it all up unfortunately.

I paid my 40€ for this game, I don't owe anybody to do anything. If I like the game and consider it functioning and playable with a lot of good content then I will praise it. If it's buggy, broken, unoptimized and lacking in content then I will tell it like it is. This is how a consumer should reason, if you try to defend something that doesn't deserve to be defended then you're doing other consumers a great disservice. As I said in the beginning, I paid what the game maker asked from me, he is the one who has to prove to me that I spent my money well.

Being a sim does not excuse this game in any way, that's selective thinking and is only for the deluded. A game is a game is a game, no more no less. Yes, patience is a virtue, maybe next time 1c/MG/Ubi can have the patience to wait for us to pay until their product is finished, patience is indeed a virtue that should apply to EVERYONE.

[Chivas]

Those very very bad developers should have told us not to buy their unfinished product, but it would have been counterproductive for EVERYONE. Atleast now there is a chance the new funds will finance further development as seems to be case at the moment. Yes we all could have waited until the sim was in better condition before we bought it, but without the added financing the sim would have shut down long before that happened. Consider it an investment that could net you another ten years of decent entertainment. The alternative is not good.
