The reviews have value for those who haven't purchased the game yet. They also provide value for those game owners who don't read the various forums by providing a summary of the drama/events/overall picture.

This is very true.

What I haven't thought about yet: Maybe reviews might even keep people at the game. I guess there are quite some buyers who saw the game somewhere, bought it on Steam and found out it is, at the moment, a pile of garbage and then, not knowing that Paradox/Kerberos are actually trying to get it right (which most publishers wouldn't bother to), turned their backs on it. Even devastating reviews, if containing the info about constant patching, might very well be the only way these people are made aware that the game they own will see serious improvements.

Is that so? Besides the crash bugs, obvious placeholders etc. .

Yes. I do wipe. Though the thought of a bidet sounds more...charming.

This game will see it's intended purpose, and I will continue to support it if doing so gives it more of that chance. Further, my intention to continue support reflects my desire to have available a game for all of you who wish to bail on it now, only to return to it later.... So you are all welcome.

By the way, when do those standalone DLCs become available anyway? I didn't notice that part in any of the reviews. Maybe I overlooked it...somehow.

The reviews have value for those who haven't purchased the game yet. They also provide value for those game owners who don't read the various forums by providing a summary of the drama/events/overall picture.

For the well informed AND the not-so-well informed? I can't think of anyone not visiting the forums for a company of a particular title that they're considering to purchase. Wait. Would those fall into the well-informed category??? I'm confused. :wacko:

How did this go from a proposed collection place for game reviews/news to a discussion about how people wipe themselves and how well-informed they are while doing it? Seriously....comon guys....submit reviews and news if you find new items... the other discussions got lots of threads where it can occur.

I dont consider 39.99 to be full price. Most average titles are 49.99 these days with blockbusters going for 59.99.

$29.99-$39.99 is about average for download releases.
$39.99-$49.99 is about average for boxed releases.
$59.99 is more of console pricing but has gotten transferred over to the PC world with the popularity of cross-platform releases.

The reveiws so far have seemingly been balanced and fair and realistic.

Yup, most of them are even nicer than I'd expected due to Kerberos and Paradox's past history of patching and supporting their games very well.

I still haven't completely lost faith in them, so once I get my refund I'll consider re-buying it in another 6 months.

I wish I read all this before I shelled out $40 yesterday

I guess the thing to do is take it off the computer for a few months and see if these problems get ironed out.
I understand that a new program can be buggy, but what I don't understand is why a sequel does not retain the features that worked from the original.
I like SOTS and was looking forward to the next generation....

I think both parties are to blame to one degree or another.

If you read the post you quoted youd notice I said that.
What we need to be doing is not sitting on the forums raging and throwing blame or starting 50 different threads about wanting a refund, but wording it diferent, only for an excuse to start a flame war. those people should just send there request in for a refund and move on in there lives.
and I have been told, repeatedly, by Paradox, to check back "next week" and that refunds "or other compensation" would be "looked into"
saying "if youre unhappy get arefund" isnt exactly useful. Itd be like me telling you to tell them to approve our refunds. -- look im just copy pasting the answer now cause you all arent reading it.

also this post is just another one of those ill try and start a confilct and discredit kerb more while making it look like im tring to be informative posts.

I though the blame was on both parties? why are you singling one out?
