[335th_GRAthos]

Insuber! My brother in arms! (I hope you fly blue m

1. Emotional Athos :
“Go on chaps, have faith and work hard, I will back you till the end and purchase whatever stuff you will sell. This game is the only modern WWII flight sim and we won’t likely see another one for the next century”

2. Rational Athos :
“One year after its launch this game has still too many issues, and they are so serious that Luthier decided a complete overhaul of the gfx engine. All planned dates have not been met so far, and instead of ironing out the bugs and missing features, the team is merrily pooping out useless gizmos such as the operable flak. We need revised FMs, working comms with AI, improved AI behaviour, no flickering shadows just to name few.”

3. Mixed Athos :
“Well who cares, it’s just a game. But what a pity … that they are so slow coming up with hard deliverables while at the same time NV & ATI betray our hopes for faster and cheaper HW in order to enjoy this game the way it deserves to be”

I m here to thank B6 and Luthier n devs, they are giving us updates. It's tough because this is a grand effort but patience and being thankful it's being worked on works wonders and having side hobbies

Your missing my point..

With regards to the 'degree' of complaining

If the film broke 1/3rd of the way into the movie, On my way out of the theater I would more than likely ask for my money back..

But..

When doing so I would NOT portray the situation as dire!

That is to say I would NOT portray myself as some sort of victim who will now have to choose between feeding my children tonight or paying to see another movie should the theater choose not to give me my money back

Why?

Because anyone would see that for what it is.. An disingenuous hyping of the situation

Now with regards to another analogy someone else provided

If my new car died 1/3 of a mile after leaving the dealership.. Than there is a good chance my kids would be eating top roman for a few weeks should the car dealer choose not to give me my money back.. And thus I would not be hyping the situation when I walk back to the car dealership and 'made a sceen' about it

See the difference?

If so than you can see why some like Hood who say the 'cost of something is irrelevant' is a silly argument

Granted the amount of disposable income is realitive

That is to say there is a chance that for some out there the cost of the $50 game to them equates to the cost of a 40,000 car to others

But if that was true, and the chance of you living on the street tonight depended on the outcome of a $50 game you bought this year..

Chances are you don't have a $2500 PC to play this or any other game on in the first place.

So again, a silly argument to say cost is irrelevant IMHO.

Put another way, some will pick up a quarter if they drop it, some wont pick up a penny if they drop it

Cost is relevant

You guys are highjacking this thread, why not take it to PM and spare the rest of us.

[bongodriver]

Problem with that is PM's don't show the entire world just how you feel about things.

[[URU]AkeR]

I don´t want/care to know how you guys feel. For sure most of the entire world doesn´t either. I check this topic to see the updates and any relevance info that might come up. But have to dig in pages and pages of the same complaints over and over. Is very annoying.

[bongodriver]

We are in the same boat, I can't stand the constant negative whinging
