Most Anticipated PC Game of 2010: vote for SoW!

[Insuber]

Fantastic ! Our SoW is in 3rd position behind a couple of space games, which will be 100% forgotten 6 months later ... not even material for the 5 € bins ... that's the difference, if SoW will be as good as Il2, it will last for years to come. The other games will last 6 months max.

Regards,
Insuber

Are you satisfied now, Tanner, that you brought us back to earth???
Do you really think anybody, besides you, wanted to read that???
Of course there are more people interested in games than in simulation-games.
Also for shure there are more people interested in quantity than quality.

We are talking about BioWare and Blizzard here. They both have more money and more experience than Maddox games will ever have.

When Martin Sheen starts doing voice work for SOW, you might be able to make such an argument as quality over quantity, but as the score stands now you can fully expect Mass Effect 2 and Starcraft II to win in both those categories.

You wanna support the minor flight sim genre? Go buy some. Voting on some online poll don't mean a thing.

you can't know that untill you own it

It is a simple Poll..

That depends on what you mean by 'quality', doesn't it? Sure, they might LOOK better, but that's probably it. Starcraft particularly, what a hilariously overrated game. It's almost as overrated as World of Warcraft. Blizzard games are based around creating addiction, and Bioware like producing games where you're either the most evil person in the world or a saint, which is a gimmick that has become quite overused. I have to qualify that by mentioning that nevertheless I enjoyed Mass Effect, but I probably won't play it through again. Anyway, basically I find it especially amusing that you're using voice acting pedigree or the presence of Hollywood-style production values to decide on the 'quality' of a game, especially considering the steaming piles that were Oblivion and Assassin's Creed respectively.

Wow, great logic. More dollars plus hollywood voice actors = higher quality.
Comparing quality btw a RTS, a 3rd person shooter and a WWII flight sim is silly in itself too. No one is delusional voting for SOW. The track record of the developer delivering one of the greatest flight sims of all time is reason enough for SOW to be a voting option.

You also fail considering another sim that came out right after IL2 with far more money and resources completely failed to deliver a sim anywhere close to IL2's quality.

Also, the developers behind Starcraft II and Mass Effect 2 couldn't deliver a sim as good as the nearly 10 year old IL2 if they decided to develop one. They don't have the knowledge and resources needed to make an accurate WWII simulator.

They could make a WWII GAME, but not a simulator that could compete with the detail, accuracy, and realism that Maddox games will achieve. It's already proven by other developers trying to compete with far more money and resources and failing big time.

I'll probably play a few of the games on this list including ME2 and Deus Ex 3, but I don't think I've anticipated a game as much as SOW, waiting so long for this thing to be done.

Do you know what? Good. That's the way we like it. If we had to deal with hordes of the kind of idiots who buy World of Warcraft and its expansion packs on these forums, I'd probably stop reading them. How many sales does The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky have compared to Harry Potter? Your comparisons are pathetic. Guess what the best-selling item in PC and Video Games on Amazon UK is at the moment? Oh, wow, it's Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board! That must be an incredible game!
Anyway, why do you care? We're not 'patting ourselves on the back' for 'subverting' a poll. We're just supporting this game, demonstrating our appreciation. Maybe if it comes 3rd in the poll, a bunch of people will want to know what the hell this SoW:BoB thing is anyway, and who knows, perhaps a few of them will even buy it. Does that offend you so much?

Tanner,


You are right, we flight simmers are idealists who still believe that better ideas and passion can beat the brute force of big budgets … but as you know this is delusory, and it did never happen in the real world …
