Video review before pre-order ends?

[LimePartician]

Can we get some legitimate and unbiased video reviews before the pre-order ends? I kind of want to know if I would be wasting 56$ on a gamble.

I don't think so. 
You are fre to "risk" it and get a discount for, or you wait and pay the full price. 
You can't eat the cookie twice.

I think that's a bit unethical.

I don't. Nobody forces you to grab the pre-order discount. Wait until you are sure.

I wouldn't say there's much of a gamble involved here.  Although as the person who wrote most of the code, I am slightly biased.

First of all this is a pre-order. No one has access to the product until it is released. 

The pre-order comes with a substantial 30%, so if you want to buy and get the best deal before early access starts now would be the best option. If you want to wait for other videos no problem, but the discount amount will change. 

thank you

To answer directly though: yes, there will be some folks posting videos over the next days/weeks.

Try the C-130 mod. If you like the concept, then the full module should be fine. Or, wait and see. Pay full price for the assurance of a decent experience.

Mind you, even after the preorder ends, the module will likely be heavily WIP. In EA phase, the big question is not whether there are problems (there will be), but how quickly and how well will they be addressed. With this being ASC's first module, all we can do is take a gamble. Plus, of course, you need to ask yourself whether you have any use for a C-130 in your hangar. 

Fortunately, at least for me the dilemma is simple: I'm between jobs and can't afford it right now, anyway.  I'll probably be back in a few years when that 30% discount comes back, and maybe grab a campaign or two that should be out by that point. Assuming I can get a job by then in this damn economy...

You have a good point in the question.
Look what happened with Razban. I have all the modules, and I don't know if I'll be able to use them in the future. Money wasted.

 

Tiene un buen punto en la pregunta.
Mira lo que paso con Razban, tengo todos los modulos, y no se si en un futuro los voy a poder usar , dinero tirado a la basura .

No guff, but best of luck on that one.

Upon the release date, will Steam get the 30% discount since Steam does not have pre-order?

Thanks.

To be fair this is a new 3rd party developer AND a new type module for DCS, paying so blindly is somewhat strange. And in the description of the aircraft doesn't explain the cargo mechanics and if the cargo mechanics are fixed after a year of introduction of the CH-47.

Plus for all other major games with pre order you have a glimpse of gameplay during the pre order phase.

Seems to be the case that Steam always gets the discount.

Re the glimpse of gameplay - the dev mentioned above that there will be video's incoming, so you'll get the same with this it would seem.

As for the preorder being strange - I don't think so. The pre-order is a choice. The dev maybe could have chosen not to do it (I don't know the contract obligations with ED) - and not given an option and just had it available to buy at release. Well - we still have that option now to us anyway - we just have the additional choice of whether we want to buy it early for an additional discount. Personally - I'm not a huge person of pre-purchasing myself - but I'll never knock someone for making it a choice that I can ignore so it gives options for others who have a different mindset or priorities to me.
