Would you be willing to pay for additional contend?

Every person that posts on a web forum should know that there is something like game reviews or customer experience reports out there. So no should suffer from the scenario you described.

In most (all) game reviews I saw CloD was trashed. So those rants are very boring and complete lies because your situation is no ones but your own fault.
Don't you think you could have avoided your situation by just reading and not buying? It's like marrying the next girl you see just because you once had a good experience with one girl - usually you evaluate before acting if it's important to you. That also goes for money.

So, if you want to spread rants until the game is dead - fine, go ahead. But if you really want to see the game develop you may consider trashing it a bit less and try to help. This can also be done by refraining from causing additional damage



That said I just want to add that one thing I don't like about micropayment scenarios:
DLC's and micropayment "objects" are too irrelevant to draw the attention of big reviewers. No game magazine or anything bothers to review a single plane for game xyz - especially not if it's the 100th.

Now you could say that you could still go to the community and check with them but... reading through the threads on this forum alone makes clear that you won't always get the most satisfactory opinions.

These people who keep saying that no one should get ripped because they should have read the reviews first, frustrate the crap out of me. If everyone worked in that basis then there wouldn't be any bloody reviews. Most times you have to trust, the people who advertise their products, that their product will be the same as their advertising. In any case, most have put up with this so far but, like me, just want to know what's being done to rectify the myriad of problems.

yeah.... I have put that game away like a month after I bought it (so maybe 2 month ago)... Game is useless, even the simple throttle prop + mixture don't work... sound is lame, graphical bugs everywhere, and changes every time I booted up the game...
And worst of all... the promised Su 26 is nowhere to be seen and never sent me a postcard about where its at. I'm done with this. I haven't even checked this forum in a month easily I was stunned to find out HOW LITTLE it "advanced" (Yes the "" are necessary as Luthier announces they are starting from scratches...)
Anyways good luck to you guys who will keep their faith and promote the game.

No.

If it was paid content from the start maybe but not now. I also have little faith that they would deliver.

i expect to see a full flyable sim first
so no for me either

Here is why I would say no to this one. Although I do own ROF and have paid a bit into there system to get most but not all of their planes, I would very much not like to see IL2 games loose their Open Source type of approach. All of the Modded Content for IL2 46 really kept the sim interesting and even today keeps it at a fun for hours level that CLOD has not yet achieved in my opinion. Someone already said it on page one of this thread and I would have to agree, that with everyone everywhere able to generate skins, campaigns, graphics, and sound mods for the game it really does make the the replay value of the sim soar.

Waiting for single airplanes to be added or new skins or modes to be added and then paying for them each individually would probably go over just as well as waiting for the current updates have Plus it would leave large gaps of time where the sim would be unchanged and people would be off trying other things and forget about the sim entirely. LOL I log on to mission4today just about every other day and its like Christmas every time when there are new campaigns or mods to check out which is almost every time I log on Any way I would much rather get new XPACS for the sim and pay for those just like we did with all the early IL2 series. And while we wait for the next one to come out all those epic Modders and campaign creators out there will keep the new content flowing freely which is part of what makes these sims so incredible.

Cheers

I voted Yes.

I do not like the actual Clod. I'll never pay for an addon at this stage of dev.

But... I hope that things will change (!). And I could pay for big addon (i.e a small theatre with a map and some planes).

[Fjordmonkey]

I voted yes. I actually WOULD pay for additional content. Of course, that would imply that the sim is playable for the majority of people, but that's still to come.

Once that's in place, then yes, I would pay for additional content just like I pay for DLC's for other games on Steam.

Hahaha, no. No I wouldn't.

57% of customers said NO. They lost our trust. Thats what happens when you play on ppl trust based on past achivements. How sad. Not a penny from me.. ever.
Btw where is Oleg. He disappeared from the boards long ago. Really a sad ending of a great saga. RIP IL2.

When hell freezes over.
