Don't you feel ripped off as a console gamer?

That's a good way to put it.
However, the pirating is 99% on pc games, which are cheap and console players pay the premium price (in general). It's more like people without car insurance cause the stable individuals with homeowners insurance to pay more.

£7.99 on UK PS3? for 6 missions that players could've happily thrown together with great joy & satisfaction, if the trademark mission editor was present? and for 1 and a half airplanes? (being that only 1 plane having a cockpit & even that one's in the 'game' already as a big glaring mistake). And to fly said planes on said missions with the same broken 'game'?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I'll have the laugh for you shall I?

PERSPECTIVE: £7.49 online buys you IL-2 1946, the complete PC IL-2 experience!!!!!

Here must surely endeth this thread as I ask again ........ "Don't you feel ripped off as a console Gamer"?

Dude, seriously. Go send an email to the publishers or whatnot. This forum is visited by the developers. They have practically nothing to do with the price. They try to help us best they can, took into account our feedback for the update, don't go bitching to them about something they can't control. It's disgusting.

how the *** is that giving perspective . Did you go 'what the heck, 65 bucks for COD5?? --> perspective: COD1 is 5 bucks online!'.

How can you compare anything to the price of a 10 year old game... srsly

Besides that post making you look like a jerk (and as was said, the developers have almost nothing to do with DLC price), it'll only be the PC IL-2 experience. Not the console experience, the PC one. Birds of Prey is the complete IL-2 console experience, and it's way better than other console flight sims.


This thread is becoming even more pointless than it was before.

EDIT: If you look at the prices for Rise of Flight planes (around $5 or $6USD per plane for planes that were already modeled before the game was released) , the price for BoP DLC will seem cheap to you.

Hey good call. I obviously must be some kind of a jerk to have not only bought this title for 2 platforms, but to have been passionate enough to give a sh*t about the way in which the console developer is dumbing down & destroying immersive gameplay for a higher price tag.

If I sound like a jerk in order to get my opinion across then fair game but the thread has seen some support to my views & therefore, IMO, wasn't a total waste of time.

EDIT:

Re: RISE of FLIGHT planes. Yes agreed. I made that very point earlier on; on another thread; but just compare the 2. RoF aircraft are truly beautiful creations with fully working cockpits throughout (even down to the radiator cowling flaps & engine mixture & prop pitch levers), that are more akin to an aircraft addon for FSX (and they, as you know can retail at around £20-£30 or more). The liveries are numerous as are the loadouts.
Compare that to the one & a half Bop aircraft that you have just downloaded!!!

I'm not supporting RoF & their antics because, as is the case with this title, the content was there in the 1st place, locked to the user unless they flash the card, again & again!!!

Enjoy!!!

Would everyone just leave this poor man alone? He's bought two copies (!), but you probably knew that because for some reason he says it in every other post. He's also very passionate about the game, although he shows it like Ted Bundy showed his passion for young women. He's a great fan of the IL-2 series and supports almost anything that will come from it, although 8 pounds is obviously too much.
Please let this man be, and let us hope he will do what he claimed in his first post in this topic: take his whining posts away & let us continue to enjoy our game in peace.

P.S. If anyone is wondering: this post does not require a reply.

Find but ONE example where I refer to or regard BoP as being in the 'IL-2' Series. Like I say in my Ted Bundy way, and have ALWAYS MAINTAINED; it's worlds apart. I bought two copies (hey guys he said it again) because the marketing strategy led me into thinking it was indeed a title worthy of the name. Please get that through your unfunny, fanboy mind and it would be so wise to cut the word twisting for a cheap laugh.

Hey dude, laugh & mock me with sarcasm at my expense; Hell you can even refer to me as a mass murderer of women as your hilarious quote implies, if that's what gets you off & gets you the laughs & respect you require. Do whatever I don't mind but .... DON'T TWIST MY WORDS!!!!

Perhaps this post does not require a reply because of your false belief in your 'larger than life', 'funnier than thou' rhoutine.

8 quid for 2 planes and a few "missions". Er, No thanks.

Even if the game was fixed (which it isn't), or we had a patch date (which we don't) and the planes were new (not just a lazy unlock) I doubt this would be worth more than 4 quid.

It ranks alongside the Little Big Planet costumes as the biggest ripoff on PSN.

That's what made you look like a jerk. I never actually said 'you are a jerk' though, I was merely pointing out how that post was rude, and didn't help you gain support for your views.

Now, have you downloaded the content? It would be unwise to make claims about it if you haven't even downloaded it. That applies for everyone including me.

I have nothing more to say in this topic. It's just another one of those 'I give you my views and you argue and give you views and repeat' threads, I've seen them before on many forums and websites, and one side of the argument will never convince the other side to change views.
