Also I like analogies too much.

Well, following that analogy it's long due for some people here to move from the UK to a sunnier place if the rain is bothering you?

This is more like when people bang the gong because the meteorologists promised sunshine in two weeks but it's still raining. They are the most qualified for the task and try to make their best guess using a lot of experience and complex software. Still people get really pissed cause they tried and failed...

Well, that's okay if the weatherman doesn't charge me for the pleasure of his inaccurate forecasting, tell me that he'll fix his method for me, fix bits but break others, go quiet for a few months, then expect me to pay again for his new and improved method after he told me that the last one was really great in the first place, and tell me that he might fix the old method but he doesn't know when. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to wait because CloD has the potential to be a really good game, I'd just rather know exactly what is going on rather than being told the vaguest shadow of actual events, especially when I'm trying to decide whether or not there's any point in continuing to support the game's development by buying the sequel. It's all very well allowing BS to communicate with us about what is happening in the game's development, but there's not much point if he's not allowed to actually tell us anything about the progress of development and what the nature of the trials the developers are experiencing are. Good communication isn't just telling us the good parts and being evasive about the rest.

You are really pissed off over the amount of money the game costs? I can't count the number of terrible movies I've gone to, spending $25 for the ticket plus some snacks that only lasts the 1.5 hours that the movie runs in the 1st place.

I'm sorry, but all I can do is laugh at the "omg they screwed me" comments. Some people must live in a bubble in society.

I suspect the frustration is not about the money spent.
The investment of time (a precious commodity to those with jobs, families, social obligations etc etc ... ) in order to set up and learn the game and a passion for the genre are the things that create these feelings.

Just my opinion

Personally I dont care about money spent (OK I must care a bit since Im living in a xxxxxxxxxx where the mans work worth nothing). Its...I was expecting an improvement (comparing to original iL2). Currently I cant even play this sim (online) without performance issues and I dont have an ancient PC. Even if they succeed in optimisaiton task we would probably still need to "deal" with ghost trees, too vivid colors on landscape, small maps, lack of content and features, lack of proper communications (currently wer deadling with investigations on sukhoi.ru and babelfish translators).....I hope for the best...

Mm...kinda agree. I have hope but when you see the mammoth task that MG have to even make CloD a release worthy game then one might feel a little gloomy. Hoping for the best though, alway will.

But if the projector broke 2/3 through the movie, you would ask for your money back wouldn't you? Well, maybe you wouldn't, because it's obvious that people who compare flight simulations to movies just don't have a clue. That's what we got here, 2/3 of a sim. If that. I haven't even gotten an hour of enjoyment out of this sim yet for my $50 because it's just plain broken. Now instead of patching the remaining 1/3 that will make this playable, they want more money to deliver what was expected and/or promised. Ummmm....No.
