No Robtek...Furbs has expressed an opinion, just as you have...(it is 'philosophy' btw)

And I happen to agree with Furbs.

I'd say buy this game if you have the machine to play it (ideally Windows 7 64bit, lots of memory), and intent to do all your flying online, and have the time and patience to devote to getting to know servers/squadrons etc.

If you want a Battle of Britain or any kind of standalone game, forget it for quite some time. And be prepared to buy the sequel to possibly obtain at least some of those features that were supposed to be included in the initial release.

Much depends on how tolerant you are, and how much you think you are securing or funding the future of this game.

Me, I like a table wth 4 legs from the outset (or at least 3). Not two, and needing to buy another table to get the rest.

Fair enough, but even with all the shortcomings, I still think this sim is bl**dy amazing and will only get better with time. Lots of patience is required for sure but I can see this shaping up to be a fantastic product in the quite near future.

I don't know any other sim that gives me the feeling of "being there" like CloD does. Heck, I get goose bumps every time I throttle up.

The reports of this Sims death are greatly exagerated

Personal wishes != reality

Not all critics think it is dead. Equally, not all fans think they have to suddenly rush to battle-stations every time someone dares give a less-than-stellar opinion. It adds up to a shrill, scared over-reaction...

A lot of the noise, here and on the other main forum, is simply the constant background static of discontent, and the call-to-arms surrounding the furure over a botched release, and slow patching. At which point the fans come rushing like firemen down the pole scared that the place is burning down....

And quite a chunk of the noise is also how to improve what's there, workarounds for major and minor probjems, and 'wish' and Feedback threads.

Is that a ringing endorsement?

It's a shame there isn't much talk oabout the standalone campaign, the modelling of a BoB, or the talk about the dynamic campaign and weather.

That may well be because they (still) are not there.

The original point - is it worth buying? Well, that varies according to your point of view.
