If they released the DLC cockpits for free (which some games do do free DLC) then all is well with the world, i just think its a little cheeky to release a technically unfinished game. as wonderful as it is to give us an extra 30 planes.
thats like playing £40 for Modern Warfare 2, but having to download the camouflage patterns for the players later, and in the mean time you're walking around in an orange jumpsuit. it's just a ltitle bit cheeky.
and please understand its not a criticism of the lack of cockpits, thats not really what i take issue with, its the PRICE, the US seems to be getting a good deal, but UK isnt.
let me break it down price wise
US prices (in GPB £)
Standard Game e.g. Modern Warfare 2 = £40
Downloadable content = 800 MS points = £8
IL-2 Birds of Prey = £25-£30
DLC = 800-100 MS Points = £8-£10.
Fair deal.
UK Prices (in GBP £)
Modern Warfare 2 = £40
DLC = £8 (average yes?)
IL2 = £40
DLC = £8-£10
now do you understand my gripe?
i dont mind DLC or lack of cockpits but a full price game on one side of the atlantic, and a 60% price game on the other is a little cheeky.
and thats ignoring the whole some people have obscured views and some people dont issue.
