I wouldnt say not getting an update is posting false information about a game which would hinder sales...I would of thought alot of the US buyers have been following these forums for quite some time, i would also think that they have there own thoughts in regards to communication given this isnt just a game that needs a patch..i think we can safely say that and that Us..me n You have been tolerant and will continue to do so..

Yes, that is the point I`m making. You see I`m not trying to impose my vision of this game as it is. It is clear now that I`m exceptionally satisfied with the game, given the general user response. Yet I do not post daily that the landscape is lovely, the game runs with no stutters whatsoever or that the mp sound bug is non existant. On thiso forum the view must be faced by opposite view so the potential buyer (checking what he wants to buy unlike many ppl here) can make his own mind up about whether he wants to risk it or not. Because yes, in order to enjoy this game n its current state you have to work with your PC a little (my game configuration time alone is almost 4 hours) and see the good sides of it.
Always when one`s seeking information on a subject, he has to view the two sides of the coin to see the real picture. This is what I`m standing by.

Agreed..though personally for me its news updates, and that to me sells games, especially this one in the current form its in...no of course they dont have too i just thought you would want too... and as you say especially because you hear about the bad stuff but no so much the good stuff...

Then you could go back and say, if those updates were there you woudnt have such a negativity about the place (yes 'some' would still be here) and people becoming worried/angry etc etc which then leads to the likes of you and I defending the game in whatever way we see fit which then turns this forum into a troll/slag fest whiners,moaners whatever label people want to use instead of the forums of old (some) where it was a friendly community which was in place to help each other

Everybody who takes their time posting in this thread is clearly a fanboy. Here's my summary so far of CloD:

-Game was released unfinished (twice).
+Game has huge potential.

-Game is poorly coded (this is obvious).
+Game is getting patched, albeit a bit slower than hoped for.

-Developer doesn't interact openly and often enough.
+Luthier has given us a "roadmap" for the future of the game.

-Non existant marketing for release (except for in Russia)
+The game has actually been released!

-I'm not playing the game anymore.
+I will play it again as soon as it's up to par (this is subjective of course).

-I will never buy another 1c/MG product again if they don't fix CloD.
+I will continue to buy 1c/MG products if they fix CloD.

I see both sides of the coin and I vote with my €.

You probably won`t buy any expansion 1C puts up in the future too. That`s the main punishment right there.

They could have marketed COD in this manner?

"COD an investment for the future"

They didn't.

Instead?

"Here now, ready to rock and roll"

No music.

The fix?
Communication and patching from the "devs",
not from anybody else.
Credibility must be restored.

Nobody here wants 1C or COD to fail.
Fail it will, without the "fix".

Who is responsible for marketting?

Who is responsible for communication?

So the game won't be fixed if they (developers) fix it but don't communicate? I would rather they just fix it - which is what I think they are doing. I mean, that's what they have 'communicated' to us, after all. I see no reason to doubt that.

Well.....

The solution is simple....

It's the excuses that are complex....

Respectfully intended of course.

They did not have this choice because of contract with UBI including NDA. And still have a contract and can not tell the full story.
