Wanting to support the game, and wishing it well, and crediting those who have helped and actively supported it are all good. Call it the crutch credit :)

But launching a thread with a provocative title and calling critics twats doesn't help the cause much. It's brief and to the point, though, i'll give you that :)

I'd say too many of the hardcore fans do this, but that wouldn't help the cause much either.

Equally, giving it a higher score than it deserves helps no-one. Two stars is more than enough. If the patch is very good and maybe contains a few pleasant surprises then it might justify those two stars, maybe even lurch towards three, given no dynamic campaign, dynamic weather, or sense of a game, or immersion, or a BOB.

The sense of frustration is wide-spread on all sides. Quite a lot is riding on the patch.

No one needs to drum up support for it. Either they will or wont. This is a very small community. Not a large one. Never has been not even close. Probably the smallest market share there will ever be! It is what it is. Made by people with a passion. The core players are the same.

can i delete this post?
 

Regrets opening mouth.

No need to! Someone else will post the same thing later we can just link to them this one to refer to :)

There are a lot of people that post bad reviews on Amazon, even for awsome games. Even Rise of Flight got bad reviews on Amazon. I was shocked by the crap some people expect from games.
In the CLOD case tho, we can't honestly argue with bad reviews at this point.:(

My kids/teenagers/adult, over the last 18 months have acquired £5,000 worth of PC/console titles they never play any more due to.

1. Didn't work/too many bugs/unsupported by developers.

2. Rubbish content/finished in one week/bad scripting.

3. Poor gameplay/adaptation/ripoff.

4. Boring/dumb/senseless.

5. Too complicated/unintuitive/frustrating.



They are surprised/amazed/dumbfounded by the fact I still fly IL2 after 10+ years, and we get to interact with the developers for all this time.

They have games that were dumped by the devs after 3 months. and these are main stream titles at £40.00 a pop lasting only weeks before being shelved.

IMO

If you are going to review anything review the whole product including support.

Normal, though.
A console game offers 20-40 hours of entertainment, once you beat it you could as well sell it immediately.
Only the GTA offered several hundred hours - if you like the plot that is.

Your household spends as much on video games in a year as an average family in Turkey makes? First world problems right here!

I have stopped buying games since getting back into these flight sims.

Now to get that BF 109 control stick KG 13A for my cockpit done...

EDIT http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/ins...oss/KG13c8.gif This Is a "C" Not "A"

I said acquired.



There was a French company ...... Tarmac Aces that built KG13 sticks for simming.
