Nah, not really. The only thing amazing is your constant slagging off on the devs here.

And for the "it's a game" comment. You should heed your own advice and calm down. Your posts are not in the slightest constructive. If you want to talk about A10, I'm sure you can find the home for their forums.

I'm calm and I'm not slagging you, even when you slag me. Read my post to Snapper. Its polite and slags no one.

Its a game, calm down.

Bliss mate, you are sounding slightly hysterical.

Not really. It just gets old having every single thread go off topic in this forum by people who constantly beat a dead horse.

The game is unfinished and is still being worked on. As someone that plays it often, I don't need to be reminded about it in every single thread. I'm sure there's plenty other people out there that feel the same way.

Good deal. I'm glad you've calmed down after 20 some posts on this forum slagging the state of the game or the devs. And if you notice, I wasn't the one doing that. Instead I was talking about the drivers while you went on a rant about the poor state of IL2COD and compared it to A10 and then linked a review to A10 as well.

But it's nice to see you've decided to heed to your own advice. Thanks.

I thought every thread started in this forum was just a challenge to see how long it could take somebody to steer it off course and into the drink What was this thread about again? CoD Devs lack of response on the A-10's damage model, with nVidia SLI support that was already stated as fixed, but not really... got it...

lol...

And +1

Now you try and make me look like the hysterical one. Nice try. I never got worked up in the first place and I called no one names, just stating facts. If you don't like what I say, ignore it.

Subject change:

The drivers do no good or any harm to CloD.

Good for you. Let it out.

What about this for a business model?

Instead of handing the customer a cow pattie for 50 bucks. Hand us a cow pattie for 10 bucks. Every subsequent patch is another 5 bucks. This would drive the process more quickly, not insult us with trash for hard-earned money, incentivize the developers to deliver. If at any time you want to abandon ship, you are out far less money (for instance if the first patch doesn't deliver what it promises to deliver) and would lead to a lot less feelings of being taken advantage of as a loyal customer from a previous product line?

I find myself in a fascinating postion. When I joined the boards in 2000 with IL-2, I was slagged as a fanboy because I loved it. My argument then was "hey, for 50 bucks you cannot get this many hours of entertainment ANYWHERE in the flight sim world".

Now my argument is "I don't like paying 50 bucks for unfinished, mostly unplayable content. I think that is a bad business model." Now, I'm slagged as a whiner! LOL

I'm having a ten year-span identity crisis!

I don't want to pay for patches. Content, yes. Fixes, no.

Rise of Flight's business model seems to have worked OK. You get the base game and then buy individual aircraft and stuff to taste.
