Sure I can play that game. Again. And again.

So here goes.

There was plenty information on the initial fiasco of release from both russian forums aswell as folks overseas who bought the game. When CloD hit the shelves at stores near me (approx. April 10 2011) I already knew everything about the bugs when I bought it. I don`t see why anyone who doesn`t check the reviews (and they are devastating) should have the free pass onto registering here and flaming. Because that is what 90% of such people do. Besides bothering natural and neutral newcomers it is boring and has no constructive thought whatsoever. I can see why mods do not allow it. If you are unable or just do not want to be a wise or merely respectful critic, then you are free to complain on some other boards.

I`m sure that only a small minority of those complainers have even noticed that, besides of all the critics and flames, 1C`s product policy is catching up to them. Neutral fans won`t touch BoM until CloD is fixed. I`m starting to have second thoughts about getting it also. All that is needed is facts. A year after release this game still has serious show stoppers. IL2 did have such at the start, but not after a whole year. None of the devs flaming and needless refund threads were needed for this. None of this changed anything. People are quickly starting to lose any interest in this project which is the effect of 1C not being able to set their program straight.

Have you ever watched a film you have been told is bad and thought it was actually quite good? Now can you see how reviews don't tell us much at all? I bought the game when it first came out because I had followed it's development and trusted the development team to deliver what they had promised, I didn't need to look at the reviews because I took their word for it. Another person may have just walked into a shop or saw it online and thought, I'll have that, this sounds a blast after reading the back cover of the game.. Which by the way also promises so much. So to answer your question.. Do people have the right to complain? Yes I think I do because many will have listened to the developers or even read the back cover of the game promising so much. Had they were told it was still broken I don't think they would have purchased it do you?

Exactly again, a sugar coated truth is tastier than a rotten lie, much of the whinging is basically wild speculation or lies.
