For some it seems to be crusade to rant down WWIIOL, to divert people away from WWIIOL and not let them use their own judgement.
The mentality currently in here is: "I think so, he thinks so, so you also have to think alike"
I wonder why people has to rant about games they don't play and it even seems like they're trying to divert people away from the game, because alot of people along himself thinks it's POS game.
There are lots of people also who thinks WWIIOL is far better in creating fun for them than many other games that this party likes who thinks WWIIOL is a POS.
(or then play same games even so)
Worst is the lies and double stantards, I really.. really.. don't see a point for it.
No, I don't mean all the arguments, but anyone with common sense can see there are outright lies and/or double stantards in certain arguments (.. rants?).
Creamo,
Do you know how many times during the years I've been dissapointed at the hype and promises of the game publishers?
I've been from long ago immune to the hype and promises, only trusting on that what I see and feel about it.
All I'm saying is that it's better to trust your instincs and base it on your opinions, not on anyone else promises, reviews or rants.
When you ignore the hype and promises by the publishers, you will have much different view into the games.
I look to games as games, not as 'what they're said to be', since it's often a false impression.
If those aren't fun, goodbye.. if I find fun, well good.
Thats the story I've had with WWIIOL.. I haven't had expections based on the hype or promises, but followed my own nose - what do I like?
WWIIOL has pros and cons, but some of the pro's just keeps me intrested.
It might not do that for you, but really... whats the purpose of ranting and trying to talk people away from the game?
It's not like you're going to loose anything if people goes and tries it.
It's neither really good idea to try make someone dislike game hes having fun playing - it just isn't going to happen, no matter how much you call the guy by names and accuse him of things.
(Neither am I trying to convince people here that they're wrong with their rants and they should like WWIIOL, but some rather bad arguments makes my blood warm and counter it)
Publishers usually are the root of evil here.
Like Hardcase said, the usual thing in the gaming world happened: Publisher insisted it to be ready now, even though everything was against it.
Heck, that has happend with tens and tens of games - some has been buried six foot deep, but some has become very popular after fixes (Falcon 4 anyone?)
WWIIOL has the good thing it that the same team who made it, is also totally focused for updating the game, unlike with many other games which are released too early - the developers will be already working on another project and only minor resources are used to update the game.
So I do believe it has hope and I hope so too, since it is something many will be missing for it's uniqueness of attempting to simulate all aspects of the battle.
Something I've looked for a long time - WWIIOL made it the first, and most likely there will be no other for very long time... for years to come?
The reply to Creamo is more of a general reply to people in this thread.
