So the latest get-out-of-jail... is that some customers forced the release? You can tell a certain faction are in trouble when they have to come out with 28 carat tosh like this.... (Have we scraped through the barrel into the ground yet?) A quick re-cap: A. All will be well int he future (c.f. crystal ball, lot's of future tense, lots of tense-ness anyhow...) B. It's the customer's wot forced the release, so the customers wot broke it C. Let me guess...it will the customer's wot forced the release of the next patch before it woz ready, if it turns out to have problems, in it...blood...etc etc I think we just hit earth's core.... |
Who do you mean by "we", white man?

I think some are just getting too old to fly.
Seriously, even with all these bugs the game's still good compared to the competition. Even the DCS games ran like crap for me in the beginning and they have a completely different situation, simply selling "casual" stuff to make an extra penny while earning through mil contracts. And don't even get me started on Rise of Greed. It was buggy as well and they gave a damn about customers. Recently the game's good although the amount of money you dump on it for the tiny content it has is insane. The game has bugs, alright. So what? There's tons of other stuff out there to play or do while we wait. Go work and earn some money to buy better hardware e.g. as that already fixes a ton of problems by itself. I played a huge number of games, not just flight sim stuff, and even AAA titles like Battlefield 3 or CoD to name a few recent titles have tons of bugs and issues. Flight sim enthusiasts are number crunchers though. They look at the details and the finesse. Things are bound to seem broken when looked at under a magnifying glass. Of course there are horrible bugs in the game but it's not like the world ends today because of it. At least they're working on it - and I bet some of you are in worse shape without working on it... |

Ask yourself What good would it serve to lie and say they found a bug at the last min during testing.. When they actully didn't find a bug and the patch is ready for release. I can not think of one good reason to lie about that.. Can you? Quote:

Equally, programming may be art as well as science, but what about project management, scheduling, work-flow, and knowing-what-the-heck-you-and-your-programmers-are-doing-even-that-quiet-bloke-in-the-corner..? This forum always has a number of people telling everyone else how difficult it is to code a flight-sim, and bow their head in reverential silence, but people manage it. They also manage the project, the alpha-beta-release-candidate testing, the localisation and publishing etc etc Above all, the successful ones manage their customers to a greater or lesser extent. How you manage things when things go wrong is also telling. I suggest you flesh out your peach a little more. Ben |

This a red herring.
Any so-called 'pressure' to release the patch is miniscule and brings nothing to bear by way of leverage. As you know, Carguy et al But it neatly side-steps the point raised by Wolf Rider...that the initial release was due to public pressure. That assertion is total tripe. The irony is that there has been pressure on for at least a year to release a working, workable product. This is just another merry diversion. Blaming the customers for this debacle is so detached from reality it smacks of genius. |

To me it is not about a mythical patch, it is about a broken game and broken promises that were listed all over the net...including in these forums...prior to me purchasing this game.
eg.. New 3D engine – Latest-gen graphics engine with DX10 and DX11 API support...???? http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=18201 OLEG: Another reason we included the Su-26 is pilots from real aerobatic teams requested it. They used Il-2 for the training in the past. In Cliffs of Dover they can fly a real sport plane. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/02/08/il...ya-shevchenko/ Neither have appeared, 12 months after the release. If the project was so short on cash and wanted some money to continue, it would of been wiser to release it as a beta to people who Pre-Order and pay. I have done this on a number of games and accept the bugs and missing features. Games are a lot more complex than they used to be and with that come bugs. I accept that a game will never be 100% free of them but the quality of this release was a total cock-up. And the people who keep asking for the patch to be with held until it is 100%....it ain't going to happen..... So, they are doing a master re-write and that will only end in tears, as again it will contain bugs. Small beta patches on a regular basis will be more efficient that a total re-write that expects to be fully functional... I am not happy and will not be rushing to buy the next DLC on initial release. I probably will buy it, if this game ever stabilises but that will probably be when it is on special... thus cutting into the profit. Good luck in the future... I don't like to see companies that produce games like these disappear... The market is too small as it is... but this must of done irreparable damage to consumer confidence and will affect the bottom line... Now they can surround themselves with sycophants and go the way of all good governments/dictators/companies who do this... Or they can harden up and release it.....put up with well deserved criticism and work through the problems.... |

So here goes. There was plenty information on the initial fiasco of release from both russian forums aswell as folks overseas who bought the game. When CloD hit the shelves at stores near me (approx. April 10 2011) I already knew everything about the bugs when I bought it. I don`t see why anyone who doesn`t check the reviews (and they are devastating) should have the free pass onto registering here and flaming. Because that is what 90% of such people do. Besides bothering natural and neutral newcomers it is boring and has no constructive thought whatsoever. I can see why mods do not allow it. If you are unable or just do not want to be a wise or merely respectful critic, then you are free to complain on some other boards. I`m sure that only a small minority of those complainers have even noticed that, besides of all the critics and flames, 1C`s product policy is catching up to them. Neutral fans won`t touch BoM until CloD is fixed. I`m starting to have second thoughts about getting it also. All that is needed is facts. A year after release this game still has serious show stoppers. IL2 did have such at the start, but not after a whole year. None of the devs flaming and needless refund threads were needed for this. None of this changed anything. People are quickly starting to lose any interest in this project which is the effect of 1C not being able to set their program straight. |

>>I can play that game again. And again.<< Well, try stopping it. Try answering the specific points instead. >>There was plenty information on the initial fiasco of release from both russian forums aswell as folks overseas who bought the game.<< You said it - 'initial fiasco of release'. So - you should have to read endless forum reports to decide whether to buy a game, remembering that there are plenty of die-hard supporters embroidering and embellishing, making it very hard to distinguish truth from disingenuous clap-trap? And people's money is at stake. The silleer critics can be filtered out by the same token. ...but hold on, aren't we supposed to take something from the pre-reealse info of the devs and publishers themselves? Quite possibly. And if we do that we find a vacuum, then an eleventh hour 'half-of-it is missing' admission on the eve of release. >>When CloD hit the shelves at stores near me (approx. April 10 2011) I already knew everything about the bugs when I bought it.<< Good for you. And you still bought it despite it being a 'fiasco', in your own words? And so everyone else should do the same, including, presumably, those for whom web access is that much more restricted and/or difficult? >>I don`t see why anyone who doesn`t check the reviews (and they are devastating) should have the free pass onto registering here and flaming. << It isn't flaming to be truthful, as has been said ad nauseum. Either the was a fiasco or it wasn't. In your own words, it was. Surely that justifies some complaining? And if some idiots decide to go after those who complain, well bully for them. But it doesn't distract (ultimately) from what is happening - it simply takes a wee bit longer to deal with their ego and loyalty-as-excuse-for-attack. There are good loyal supporters also, who dont go after the critics as much. The protecting-our-hobby brigade are not worth talking about. >>Because that is what 90% of such people do. Besides bothering natural and neutral newcomers it is boring and has no constructive thought whatsoever. << Quite the opposite. It allows people to register their dissatisfaction, feel informed, and know what - if anything - is being done about it. All very real and natural actions and emotions that take place in all walks of life. Trying to stop it is beyond silly, and only results in more pressure being vented (as happens here). It is pointless, and fundamentally dishonest. >>I can see why mods do not allow it. If you are unable or just do not want to be a wise or merely respectful critic, then you are free to complain on some other boards.<< There we have it. Complain and you're not being wise and respectful. Don't and you are. Reductio ad absurdam. Or codswallop. >>I`m sure that only a small minority of those complainers have even noticed that, besides of all the critics and flames, 1C`s product policy is catching up to them. << In what way? If you mean because many people feel badly let-down and badly treated, then good. That's the way of the world. People register dissatisfaction with a poor product, poor treatment. Good - let them. It doesn't mean you have to dismember the company making the product. >>Neutral fans won`t touch BoM until CloD is fixed. I`m starting to have second thoughts about getting it also.<< Neutral fans are just that - neutral. And should be allowed to read both sides. >>All that is needed is facts. A year after release this game still has serious show stoppers.<< Indeedy, so concentrate on them, and stop going after those who have constructive criticism or want to know if real fixes are likely to happen. In our lifetime. >> IL2 did have such at the start, but not after a whole year. None of the devs flaming and needless refund threads were needed for this.<< This isn't that. It's a whole panty-twisting bunch worse. Lot's of twisted panties. The critics realise this. Even some of the die-hard fans are beginning to realise this. >>None of this changed anything. People are quickly starting to lose any interest in this project which is the effect of 1C not being able to set their program straight. << Absolutely. And if the devs do set their program straight, good for them and we'll support them - if there are enough left to support them. But so far the indications are that they have botched everything from pre-release, to release, to post-release, to sequel announcement, to post-release patching. There is only so much botching you can do before people call it a day. Despite running apparently on empty, they still have residual goodwill, and people want to keep the genre going - which is good. Whether they are the company to do it, and whether they even *can* do it, is open to question. If people want to complain, let them. Trying to stop the complaining just makes things worse. Ben |

Bongodriver said:
>>much of the whinging is basically wild speculation or lies<< Not really, no. But it allows you to parody it and go riding bareback into the desert called 'Defending the citadel of Clod' (bit of a mouthful for a desert name I think you'll agree) if you portray it this way. And it deflects from the actual issues at hand, which is what much of this is about. The more fanciful paranoias and flights of fancy are treated with fairly equal contempt by both sides, I would say. So no need to worry about them too much. As for the 'he's calling the devs liars, he is! he is! teacher!' - well that's just low-life trying to get people bogged down and banned. And pathetic for all that. But then this is what happens - you get into nonsense about arguing about the arguments - which this 'defend at all costs' segment of the fans tend to do. Best not to be fooled by this. But the game itself, and its faults, have a nasty habit of drowning out the crap and meta-arguments, after a while, and bringing things back to the real issues i.e. how much is broken or not working properly, or not present. In this respect not much has changed one year after release. Read into that what you will. Ben |
