Stand down from this one Toad, I could almost have wrote tardcase’s response, and knew he’d miss my entire point. I thought it would be quick, but didn’t know he’d be waiting on it like a organ donor. I’m about 7 minutes behind. (I did enjoy the sobbing cynical “newbie cant play, neither will you” sarcastic touch I couldn’t have hoped for any more)
TC, I shouldn’t have downloaded anything. I bought the first disk long ago, and smashed it, reasons apparent, no need to rehash. But this was a Dec 24th store copy.
So lets go from a new users standpoint, and not consider I’m not completely retarded and have played sims for 13 years, but still a buyer that would be attracted to the boxed $14.95 “Reader Choice Edition” of WWIIOL.
I should have know to “ d/l the full install from the D/L page. That cd is a least 4 update behind.?
Really? You explain that to the buyers of that new disk, no sense me pointing out how ridiculous that is.
I could have lengthened my post to explain that a newbie WOULD be completely miffed, and I was, and that left a lot to be desired to keeping a players interest, at the critical stage of introducing a game. A pay to play game at that. But I left that out just so you could point out WWIIOL misses the mark entirely in this aspect. It’s kinda the point.
And we won’t argue graphics, your opinion just doesn’t correlate with mine, which is fine. I’ll have fun with BF1942 other than it’s aircraft section, because regardless of complexity, it delivers interface that’s fun, user friendly, and intuitive. Aside from the toejam samich graphics, WWIIOL with that going for it might be terrific. What a concept.
