Anyone remember a sim that divided us as much as COD?

Not a Sim as such but I remember the uproar with Empire Total War

It's like the Reformation!

All the signs are there: Luthier almost sounds like Luther.

Who gets to play the Pope?

That was a bad one, especially when Paradox waded in on the AI problem. Then Paradox released Hearts of Iron 3 and there forums went into melt down.

I'm not really an MMO guy, but from what I've read, Star Wars: Galaxies experienced one of the greatest schisms in gaming history.

How about this:

Anyone remember a sim that was so broken but still had so many defenders?

/troll
LOL!

Its not broken, it was published at least one year too early. The problems of the sim have all to do with it's unfinished state.

And why we are divided by these fact? There is a group saying "Ok the game is unfinished, but it will completed by future patches" and there is another group "Ah my money it will never be fixed, all of the devs are loosers".
I am a member of the first group , but i can understand the second group, also. But why must i read the same endless worthless discussions in every thread, mostly from the same people. Thats annoying.

Gee...we can't tell what camp your in by your completley unbiased portrayal of the facts.

Seriously, picture this: Imagine if every single game you bought you paid $50 for, then had to stick it on the shelf for a year. Would you really be happy not being able to play your games a year after purchase? That's how it is for us offline flyers. The AI is so porked it's not even playable. It doesn't have to be perfect or bug free, just playable and it's not.

That's what's happening here. Yes, we all know it was released a year to early and they needed our money to continue. The thing is, we're gamers not loan officers. It's made worse by the fact that we didn't realize we were in the loan business until much later.

Hm i bought 5 Copies. 5*45 = €225.-.
Hm i also fly offline a lot. But i can script and i build a lot of test missions so the AI if you know how to handle is not such great problem.

But again we have a neverending worthless discussion about facts every know.
