Anyone remember a sim that divided us as much as COD?

Seriously, picture this: Imagine if every single game you bought you paid $50 for, then had to stick it on the shelf for a year. Would you really be happy not being able to play your games a year after purchase? That's how it is for us offline flyers. The AI is so porked it's not even playable. It doesn't have to be perfect or bug free, just playable and it's not.

That's what's happening here. Yes, we all know it was released a year to early and they needed our money to continue. The thing is, we're gamers not loan officers. It's made worse by the fact that we didn't realize we were in the loan business until much later.

Gee...we can't tell what camp your in by your completley unbiased response to his statement.

DCS made People (me included) pre-order A-10 a year before it was completed before they 'allowed' them to download their beta. What is the difference there? Did I feel disgruntiled? No Way!

We in the west had a couple of weeks of Russion reviews of COD before it was released. I like 'most' other WWII combat flight sim enthusiasts reflected upon that before we bought the sim. 'We' made tha call that it was worth putting up with the problems to get on 'our' hands on the sim early. I for one have no regrets.

Hey a 'lot' of people bought the Russian release version (wasn't it US$17.00 or something like that?) That was their call. 'Most' said it was worth it to get their hands on it a week or so before the rest of us.

If you are dissatisfied about your purchace, I'ld suggest you move on to bigger ande better things. life is just too short! You never know in the (near?) future a patch may come along that matches the game up with you expectations of a good sim. If that happened then there is nothing stopping you from reloading it on you PC and enjoying the experience. But if it doesn't then you haven't wasted your time.

Cheers!

Tiger, I think the point is being 'told' its still WIP would of made things easier for everyone to stomach..You Pre-ordered yes but thats a pre-order and delays is part of the package when it comes to pre-orders..

I am tiered like you of reading the same sh** in here but one things for sure..IF they sold it as WIP, Beta whatever then it would of stopped a lot of the BS that's being flying around here for the last 12 months over and over again, would they of got as much £££? probably not but it wouldn't of damaged 1c's rep as much as it has by means of the community,reviews etc etc.

When i first started flying this game I remember being on comms with a squad mate and I loved how it looked just wasn't happy that i had to turn a lot of settings down (pre-upgrade) but evidently it wasn't JUST my pc...

Oh the confusion here in regards to GfX setups, specs and people going out and spending big £££ on upgrades, should they of? who gives a f** its what some of us do, were inpatient or at least I know I am.

More honest info at the start would of worked wonders, some peeps here would argue we were never 'told' it was finished but that's their call..i know what I took from this game being released

Wasn`t that Ubi that forced the release? Why do you blame 1c for every single problem in the world?

No one does that, carguy.

1C did lose, to UBI, the naming right to the CLoD sim

UBI the western publisher has very little control of anything to do with COD or its sequels. The IC Company and Russian publisher is the main financer and controller of the IC Maddox Games development.

I`ll ask again then. Who forced the western release? Ubi or 1C?

They're not hard questions,, are they?

I doubt that UBI were in the position to force anything. The main IC publisher would decide and provide a copy for UBI to distribute to the west. Although UBI could demand that the IC publisher/developer provide an epilepsy filter before they would distribute the sim in the West.
