I will just say the release date does make a difference. I, and many other people like to buy games on the release date. There is just something extra special about going into a store on release day and buying a game. A large chunk of most games sales happen within the first week. So a lot of others gamers feel this way too.

All I am saying is that Birds of Prey would improve its chances to get my $50 if it released on the same day instead of a week behind Heroes Over Europe.
If they bumped up the release to tomorrow, then it would increase the chances of me buying it tomorrow 100%. http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/30.gif



Again... They are two totally different styles of games.


If you can't wait a week for BoP, as you'd rather buy this other game, then so be it.


How did you like that Heroes Over Europe demo?

BoP is a much more mature and accurate game to play if you really like WW2 flight sims and like the big variety of planes and controls. Heros over Europe will never stand up against BoP in sales, and if anything the later release will just make the BoP sales go up because once people buy Heroes over Europe, and realized that it's such a horrible game, they'll take it back and get BoP with their friends.
i wouldnt go that far because heroes of the pacific was a ok game however bop will be far supreme

Do what you please,
To me it just seems you just go for the game that comes out first
Not even checking the games out.
Maybe BoP has alot more planes and such you would like over HoE.

and the story about release date doesent makes sence, BoP also had his release date so you could still walk in the store and pick the game up :confused:

But he can only buy one, and the best one is clearly that which comes out first. :lol:

It all comes down to whether you'd like to waste your $50 on Heroes over Europe: A game with limited choices on missions etc, or waste your $50 on BoP: A game with hundreds of choices to complete missions etc. Either way, your going to get the short end of the stick if you buy Heroes over Europe, just because it comes out a week before.

It was just my opinion on the game. I really did feel like it was meant to entertain little children.

Well, in Europe Birds of Prey comes out before Heroes Over Europe, so that situation is reversed over here. However, I can see your point about the two games competing for sales, since while they occupy the opposite ends of the WWII flight spectrum, a lot of sales are made to people who go into a shop and buy a game based on the box, and being present on the shelf is a major advantage. I know a lot of people buy games this way because I was working in a Gamestation store over the earlier this year.

True but HOE gets first shot at my $50. Now if I dont buy HOE on release day then the chances of me getting BOP go way up.

Your forgetting just how nichy the WWII flight spectrum is. That is a very, very small spectrum.
