Fanboys vs detractors

[Bobb4]

Let’s be honest, if you have written something negative about the sim in say the last month you are a detractor. Really it is that simple.
If your blood boils whenever you read a negative comment regarding the sim you are a fanboy.
This is just an interesting experiment based on the continuous "detractors are in the minority" statements.
If they are then this thread will prove it once and for all

Damn, relegated to the lounge in just over an hour.
Seriously mods where was the harm?

I've always been a fan of the Il2 series, but I have to admit that I am disapointed about the lack of progress with this series. We have had all sorts of promises about progress but very little subtance to back it up. If you look at what was advertized as minimum specs for this series that would have to be the joke of the year, so at this stage I have voted negative. I think that CoD will end up being far superior to anything else available but the time it is taking is frustrating both for the developers and for the supporters. I wish there were other options for this poll then you may have had a better response. (I'm really a disapointed fanboy).

what i like most about the game is the comunity

i think this is one of the crazier comunities around

even more than the flat erath society in which i got banned for saying nonsenses while here i can speak my mind peacefully on the sky dome

I am bi-simsual, with occasional fanboy tendencies. Abstained from vote as no candidate really understood me.

But what if I haven't written something negative in the last month and my blood doesn't boil when someone else does?

Enough with the personal insults.

Not really. lol All this poll would indicate is whether the person voting feels there are more fanboys or detractors on the forum.... not whether they are a fanboy or a detractor.

I voted "detractors" as I feel there are far more of them on here than "Fanboys". By the same token, I think there are far, far more "Let's wait and see what happens but, personally, I really enjoy this game" types such as myself but the option wasn't there. Remember the title of this poll was "Which are the majority, fanboys or detractors?" and, from such a narrow sample choice...sure! The "detractors"are in the majority.... just not THE majority.

I started this CLOD adventure as a fanboy. I absolutely loved the extremely well done lighting, collors (except the colors of certain field textures), cockpits, water and reflection. The light interacted very well with the environment and created the most natural lighting engine I have seen in any flight sim. Oleg was a proffesional photographer and understand lighting. That's why the game created such nice natural lighting, reflections and colors.
This and the cockpits were the best parts of the sim.
The last patch absolutely murdered all that beauty and turned the game into a very forgetable murky grey mess. This last patch also introduced ctd's for the first time for me.

I'm a detractor now and it's going to take some serious changes in how the game looks to make me love this game again...............
