El, what a dumb thread; like who cares what you'll do - it won't influence anyone. We're all flight sim fans here and if it fulfills its potential we'll all be happy. Hood |

Members share and discuss things that relate to their interest in COD. So, yeah... straight talk for you. There are a lot of well educated and competent people that enjoy this forums. Your high minded rhetoric can definitely be dealt with by many here. SO, it isn't a best course of chit chat to defame anyone. In fact, we have some members than can create so much verbal heat for you, that you will feel it and see it in your very red face. You can look in a mirror and see it. ![]() |

If some people have very low expectations, limited-to-no gameplay with other sims, dont mind getting broken products, a whole mess of BS posts from devs, then yeah, you can definitly enjoy this game.
Just a note.... if "whiners" dont bother you so much, why do you feel the need to post, that they dont? Obviously it bothers you that that others find the end product far from good. Dont get all sour grapes. |

Sorry, just out of curiosity: if that is your opinion why are you even in this forum? If I felt like that about CoD I'd never bother to join a forum about the sim. So I'm honestly just curoius.

So, this thread has established that if you aren't 100% satisfied with CLOD and aren't willing to lie and give it 5/5 reviews and aren't going to pre-order the sequel, then
a) You are a whiner b) You are killing the entire combat flight sim genre. ![]() |

And yes, I do think that the angry mob nature of handling issues, and the total lack of the most basic politeness when talking about issues is one of the reasons why the genre is fading away. The folks gazing bleary eyed at their monitors while typing millions of lines of code are human beings. They are not faceless gears in a monolithic money machine. They have feelings, and fears, and by and large work pretty damned hard and I totally understand why they would not bother to come here and be constantly bashed by a bunch of middle aged guys acting like 13 year old playground bullies. If I had the money it took to back a virtual experience project like a computer game, I tell you I'd think long and hard before I chose a combat flight sim as the project of choice, even though I love the genre, and military aviation generally. Why put up with a number of people who don't play the sim, who have repeatedly expressed that they don't like it, won't buy anything else from that team, and continue to bash a dead horse?

a) it establishes that nobody is 100% satisfied but only the whiners will make everybody know just how much it has ruined their lives driving them to make up lies about the true meaning of threads which cast even the slightest positive light on it. b) the genre will almost certainly die if COD dies....care to name any other WWII dedicated flight sims being produced?.....ROF and DCS won't be filling that gap for a very long time, if ever, and all we are left with is the venerable old IL2 which does not generate any revenue for 1C and won't go on forever.

I don't get people that are STILL hanging around trash-talking the game. Especially at this point when the last patch has been released. It's just weird and a bit creepy honestly. I've stopped playing the game since quite a while now and probably won't be back until BoM is warming up for release but that doesn't mean I spend a considerable amount of time beating a horse carcass. It's kind of disturbing that people are spending so much time on an internet forum just dissing a GAME.

It's all a bit drama-queeny to suggest the whole genre hinges on the continued support of a flawed franchise, never mind one game. And I dont think it is true. Or if it *is* true then perhaps the genre deserves to wither, if this is its best hope ...
No, this merely tells you the levels of personal dependency involved. Once you are weened-off the need to make this game the be-all and end-all, then you can make more rational. Of course there will be future flight-sim games, in this genre and others. There is absolutely nothign wrong with supporting this one to the rafters, if you think that's worthwhile, but it's daft to say there wont be any others if this one fails. Not least least because this one (or this version) already *has* failed in the eyes of many. A new patch and a bit of retrospective hurrah-ing isn't going to change that. And how can anyone know there wont be others in future? It's a plain silly assumption. Last edited by Falstaff; 10-22-2012 at 12:03 AM. |

Also, there is an element of irony in your post, in that you have often posted in other forums which are ear-marked as expressly for criticising CLOd, or at least discussing it rationally. That forum (I am treading carefully, but you know which one I mean) is one where you stated you would not post. So, maybe best to de-polish the black pot and kettle? Now that the mods have recently come out and explicitly stated they would promote only positive reaction (no surprise, this has been the case all along, at least now they're upfront about it...) an dby implication, crack down on critcism...people seem to think they have carte blanchs to attack the 'whiners'. And maybe, here in this forum, they do. But I'm sure a few of us will occasionally reply until it's our turn to be booted. Which will also happen, as it has been steadily happening for some time. Basically, a semi-successful patch to get the game to a near working status (albeit with no offline game to speak of, or dynamic weather/campaign etc) after a year and a half...and the balloons and bunting are out. Grateful for small mercies, perhaps. Perhaps if there was a half-decent game modelling the same era, this place would have emptied a long time ago. It depends on what you expect, and what you will settle for, I guess. And note, I've managed to steer clear of your own *very* colourful history with this game. It might be wise not to play the elder statesman - some of us do have memories. Last edited by Falstaff; 10-21-2012 at 06:11 PM. |
