You think you are helping the game, but you totally miss the point. You are actually harming it more than you seem able to imagine.

All you are doing now, is abusing people about the state of the game, so after they buyed it, they will just try it and most probably never touch it again. Will they be waiting for patches? We can wait, for sure, but the newcomer to flightsim will just shelve it.

After reading your review and testing the game, what do they know? They know that the most advanced flight sim to date, as you say, is a worthless unplayable piece of crap. Will it entice them to stay in the genre and try other flight sims, like old IL2? I doubt it. Will they go and say to their friends to try and buy this amazing unworking piece of software? Well, they may recomend it to some people they don't like.

So, your contribution is actually most harmful to the game that the ones of the people that honestly state that in its current state, the game isn't worth buying.

The point is not to make people buy the game, this is the marketing job. Our job as fans, is to make people keep playing. For this, we need a fully fonctional game, in extenso, patched so it's at least playable on recommended rig. It may have some bugs, but anybody with the recommended hardware should be able to take the game out of the box, with default settings, and fly around and shoot things in quick missions.

Eurogamer Denmark will not give the game a bad review "out of respect for the talented team who created the game"

They just wont review it at all (at the moment) and firmly point the finger of blame at UBI.

Really Ubi was messed up again releasing a product early.

But under other point of view I can enjoy playing this beta until gets patched, which it will.

When IL-2 Forgotten Battles went out was a mess too, but the development was never stoped, it did grow and grow until become to the Gran Turismo of the PC combat flight simulators.

Because this game is not those annual low level car games that you play a few hours and then throw to the garbage ... to wait for the next year version.

This is IL-2.

The team are now adressing the performance problems, next step is bug fixing and then ... the sky is the limit
