I will support this game

[Warhound]

Another fanboi checking in...was sad to read about the epilepsy and general performance issues but never remotely considered not buying the game.

I still have my collectors edition on pre-order and can't wait to get stuck in. I couldn't begin to count the number of hours of enjoyment the IL-2 series has brought me so on that track record I'm looking forward to it immensely. Too many naysayers jumping on issues they have not even seen and going on third hand information.

I'm an ArmA\ArmA 2 veteran too...look how far ArmA 2 has come along since it's release.

Bought a DL edition and collector's edition so far...if I could afford it right now I'd buy the Russian version so I can play around with tweaking before it's activated on my main Steam account.

A big +1.

At the release, ROF had huge problems and the deciding thing that pushed the game forward was the suport from the users. We kept buying planes so they have money to pay the programers that do the fixes.
Now ROF is a glorious modern flight sim that should be in the toy box of all flight simmers.
If players just give up and follow "the game is dead, the sky is falling" crowd, it can kill the game before it has a fair chance.

remember: Poor initial sales = no money for fixes, improvements and continuity.

I have two copies on order.

They have my suport.

Yep, agree completely. Will be getting my sweaty palms on my pre-order DVD at the end of the week. Still really looking forward to it.

My CE should be in the post to me tomorrow. No way I'd miss out on this, however buggy at the start. I've enjoyed every minute of RoF even when it wasn't the gem it is today.

I also never even thought about cancelling my preordered CE.
Also i think i still try to get the russian version, even if it is just to see if there is a difference.

Usually I don't pay for broken -unplayable- games on release but in this case I'm willing to make an exception and the reasons are clear:

1. I love WWII flight sims
2. Alternatives, Hawx or Ace Combat anyone?
3. Oleg and teams track record
4. I love WWII flight sims

It's a sympathetic thought, but with UBI calling the shots, their disregard for their customers as of late, combined with horrible support when things don't work, simply makes a purchase too much of a risk. I'm not really considering the financial risk as the price won't bankrupt me, but the frustrations might provoke an emotional bankruptcy . I'm sad and depressed about this whole ordeal, and the thought of maybe having to wave goodbye to the IL-2 franchise but I'm sure I'll find other hobbies soon.
