deep Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I think that's a pretty fair review. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebphoto Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 How can you review something that’s not finished? I think a review should only be after the product is released & out of early access. Just my opinion. Stormbirds usually does good work though so I’m sure it was pretty good… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They state "first impressions" right in the title, too. 8 Reformers hate him!

Stormbirds usually does good work though so I’m sure it was pretty good… If we go by that as a rule, you wouldn't be able to review a great deal of what is out for DCS right now. I don't say this out of cynicism or to convey snark. It is just that a lot of DCS modules are not 100% complete. Additionally. Every DCS developer has to deal with the reality that releasing a early access product for money will naturally lead to reviews in order to help people make more informed choices. In many ways, the reviews that are more coherent and reasonable (and not just angry gamer outrage stuff) are the ones that lead to better early access releases in the future. RAZBAM is charging for the map right now and prospective purchasers have the right to know what they are getting for their money. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krez Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Early access. People know what they are getting into. No one is obligated to purchase it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly, for example Syria map in EA (when it was released) had more content and works better (FPS) than SA. So someone can have false opinion about EA stage after release and thinks all products has the same level. Btw. Even, when product will be finished no obligation to purchase it too.

Stormbirds usually does good work though so I’m sure it was pretty good… I enjoyed the irony of your fist sentence, followed by the ellipsis dots at the end of your second, which makes me wonder if I should only respond to your post once it's completed. In any case, the product was released, was bought by many, and is fair game for a review in it's present for-sale state. And Stormbirds is a great site. I get a ton of my DCS news there. 2 1 Some of the planes, but all of the maps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
