Is nobody happy with Cliffs of Dover?

Dowly · 08-23-11, 05:30 PM

Haven't touched it since release.

Read a review from an finnish game magazine site last week, which gave it 39/100
and said: "Never in the field of flight simulations has so many been so angry at so few."

Tho, that was written month or so after the release, so no idea how it is now.

Graphically, it is awesome. Where the Sim let me down is that it is more arcade than Sim with no real career mode where I could create a pilot that I could really care about.

Even in B-17: The Mighty 8th, where you were not able to create a crewman for yourself, but for each of the crewmen that you could create and control (if you wanted), you developed a connection with each of the 10 crewmen in 1 B-17 Bomber or even the 120 crewmen of 12 aircraft, if you took on a full campaign mode.

I do not know where Oleg went wrong but he did great with the IL-2 series, but dropped the ball with Cliffs of Dover. Maybe there was just way to much focus of the graphics and environment and forgot about the Sim aspect.

Herr-Berbunch · 08-23-11, 07:48 PM

It does look good, but the play isn't great although I've only been up for a spin a couple of times. Prior to flight even selecting options such as a/c or paintscheme seems aimed at little kids.

I don't have the best setup for it, Core2Duo 2.93/4 Gig Ram/GTS250, but I have to be quite low over land before I see any stuttering - and that's with all settings on medium and the anti-epilepsy thingy is still ticked as on. Haven't run Fraps yet so don't know what my FPS is but I'll nudge some settings down first (grass being the biggest culprit I believe?). My biggest problem at the mo is for some reason my throttle doesn't! It looks to be assigned correctly, movement and dead zones entered but just doesn't do a dickie-bird - so I'm stuck with currently having to use the default keys.

Oh no, that's not my biggest problem. This is - the music! It is just some kid with a beginners grade piano on a bontempi organ. Dire. It truly sucks the biggest one ever, Tetris has nothing on this, Sonic and Mario have nothing on this, it really is that bad - they should have stuck some period music on if they had to do something last minute.

Last problem, for now, screenshots. Default key is Print Scrn which creates a .bmp (never great) and should be in my docs/1csomethingorother/CloD/screenshots, but isn't. I can always Alt-Tab out and open P'shop to paste it in, but no. Why should I.

The campaign apparently is a rather large bomb too, and not in the good way.

Biggles · 08-24-11, 08:48 AM

I don't have the game, but I've heard that it doesn't support a great number of machines in the air at the same time. Seems rather pointless to make a game especially tailored for the Battle of Britain, if you can't include the formations of 200+ bombers, fighters etc.

Battle of Britain II did it beautifully. Maybe they should have started off with a little less demanding setting for their new simulator...and then they could take areas not often seen in games to further enhance the feeling of something new. Phoney war, Italian front, North Africa, India, Burma...the possibilities are endless, which they proved very well with the old series! I just don't understand what they're doing starting with such a demanding setting if they're not up for it

Now do any of you guys own Wings of Prey? I was wondering if CoD and WoP were as similar as they appear from the vids and screens I've seen. If so, I think I'll stick with WoP and look toward the new World of Planes from Gaijin as they seem to be ahead of Oleg these days.
