Friday Update, Q&A - December 23, 2011

[TomcatViP]

I heard abt CoD pricing being down low to 19$. Are you calling that big money ?

19US$ = 12€ it's hardly more than two pints of beer in EU (don't know how much it does in Milk bottles - sry)

19$ = 2 or 3 issue of your fav (bunnies ?) Magazine on witch I defy you to stare more than you can do playing CoD - well... depends on who's in the middle pages )

19$ = 1 French Baguette, two Croissants and two cup of coffee noisette (but she was probably not the one of your life )

19$ = Three tickets to get the metro in London during a day of strike (you'd better walk)

19$ = one single CD out of your favorite collector of the years long TV soap

19$ = two stupid Bat planes on a WWI sim who once claimed to have some vertue (what will they sells as addons after: the Red Baron's braces ?!)

19$ = nearly nothing related to MS "simulator"

It might be that you come from a country where that amount of money really matters. I can understand that with no irony. But I just want to point you what it means for real on the US/Eu market where that specific price was marketed.

For the amount of works and efforts those guys hve put in, it's really cheap. I only hope that they won't get their ambitions over-sized after releasing BoM.

But Perso, with all the modifications they hve made since the first release, I feel satisfied. Certainly technically CoD lacks some points but so far the "deal" ended in fairness

more a read response more i think we will have to pay the game twice before having something really acceptable. and only if they make all their promise in the sequel!

really.... the luthier team is not the same that made il2 sturmivik....

we already pay for the alpha version of the game....i hope we not have to pay for a beta with the sequel but for a release version.... if not Luthier will be know to be the guy who killed the best ww2 sims series of the world.

sincerely i will be the first to kiss his foot and lapidate myself if he do all his promise... but if not...i already have the stone for him!


one last thing... i really thing it is not acceptable response like the fourth. it is like kid who are whining when they are trapped they do bad work. and bad work is the good word to define the devellopement of COD. accept criticism and do better work and you only see thx on forums. it is still time! and if you realise all your promise.... the good work will be done and everybody will thanks you sincerely.

Now we just have to wait

Until the next morning you mean. ... LOL I'm definitely too old for that much beer. I can't do that any more.

I am somewhat miffed.

Whilst I understand CloD is being 'fixed' (and rightly so) I was hopeing for 1C to expand on this timeframe and opportunity with new aircraft...a Royal Navy and German Navy for some exceptional packed battles.

The fact that there are no new aircraft planned...no new ground models and the fact you have to purchase the expansion if you want stuff that was meant to be implemented in the original is very dissapointing.

CloD no doubt will be 'fixed' but will not be expanded on leaving a half baked game that has taken nearly 10 years to come to fruition.

Thanks 1C.

BOM is not an expansion....it's a new title.

Do you remember how it was the original IL-2 Sturmovik at first ?

Alot of people paid the full asking price ,not to mention upgrades of computers and peripheries.
It s the fact the people bought the game believing it was a finished article and then found out it wasn't.
Broken initial faith which they now have to mend.

I've just bought another copy for my son, at 9.90€. we plan to fly together in servers and have a lot of fun. If I average the cost with the 60 euros of my CE, it still makes a more than acceptable 35€ each ... so to alleviate your atrocious pains for the initial price, just buy and give away another copy...
