Not much gameplay shown, but good info about the game...

Actually, I was/am really excited for this game... but I do wonder if my expectations are too high... I think all the NA SAYERS that post everywhere, on every little OFP DR bit of news or info is starting to get to me... Kinda want to unplug from this game till it's actually released on Oct. 8th and make my own decision.

Oh don't get me wrong I like a good debate, good points and counterpoints... but this game more then any other I remember has more then their share of pestimeste. lol wink

Guess I'll judge for myself Oct. 8th.

The majority of the CoD crowd will hate it, I assume.

Without perks and bunny hopping they won't know what to do.

Judge it on it's own merit, not what others have done, I'm just glad to have another game like this to get into.

From what I've seen it's not the CoD crowd slagging it, it's BI fanboys.

It's a day one purchase for me, to hell with the naysayers.

Oh, no doubt. The flame wars between this and ArmA have only just begun.

If for nothing else, I will like this game for lighting the fire under the ArmA developers asses to actually add new simulation features to their game (e.g. FLIR). But it may be very good in and of itself.

Like I said in another thread, BI sorely needs some competition in this genre. They can get away with all kinds of stuff that would get other devs flamed beyond belief simply because no one else is making games like theirs.

Magnum, I feel the same way. I have extremely high expectations for this game. We've been desperate for a game like this after AA:TS was..um..less the what it should have been. I'm barely playing anything on the 360 right now, trying to tone it down for IL2 and this game. LOL
I hope I haven't built these games up too much in my mind, but I still feel good about them.

My outlook on IL-2 has lowered significantly in the last few weeks, this one's still high. Probably because I haven't paid much attention to it other than watching the occasional video. I've never even looked at the official forum for it.

Personally I'll be getting both. Although not on day 1 just because....well....that money thing again, and I'm not into the stealing thing wink

I look forward to both for different reasons. Much like playing GRID and a game like Forza. Sometimes you want it to be as close to the real thing as possible and other times, you just want it to be stupid fun. Both have their place in my gaming world depending on my mood.

Sometimes I feel like watching Gladiator and sometimes I feel like watching Caddyshack. Both great movies but for VERY different reasons.

My 2 cents


Nice hat, looks good on you though.

Just a gut feeling based on the dev rep's posts on the official forum. Hopefully my gut is wrong.

You aren't missing anything on the OF2 forum. MILES and miles of posts, threads...almost all speculation. You can condense all browsing to looking at the first post in the stickies, or just check out Helios's posts through his profile. LOL
There are way too many "experts" throwing out misinformation that's just speculation and screwing up the works. I just check in every now and then for a new sticky.

Looks like it was wrong on Batman according to the reviews. As it gets older maybe it just gets bigger and not wiser biggrin

My outlook on IL2 was lowered in the demo ... it's a great game, but I get a much greater flight simming elsewhere.
I'll probably get it, but later on when it's cheaper, maybe at Christmas.

Now OFP:DR, that one is probably one I'll buy right away.
