Why does everyone praising the game in reviews only have ~15 hours in game? If it's so good, surely they'd spend more time in it, No?

Currently the main issue of the game is lack of content/replayability

So even tho it's amazing for 15 hours, after them you more or less saw and did everything and are now waiting for the devs to add more vehicles scenarios etc... (wich they have been doing steadily since release)

It's still in EA, which means we haven't seen anything close to the real content they will have at release. I am content to say that the bones of the project are great, and Im having a lot of fun with it as we speak.

Two things to keep in mind:

First of all (and Echoing what the others have said) - the game is barely 2/5s into its expected road map of features. They sill need to add West Germany, Infantry, more environmental effects, and potentially some other equipment, along with revising the scenarios present. Many players log on the first week of the month to experiment with the new changes, then wait until the next update.

The second is that GHPC is a single player "Sim-Lite" sort of game. You don't need to learn the actual switchology of the vehicles like in a training unit. But you do need to adapt to the different sights on each vehicle and the quirks of historical range finders. There is no need to grind and unlock every unit, but the missions are fairly short.

Sounds like a lot of smoke and mirrors. "This WILL be in the game" Sure, heard that before.

What exactly have they done in the last calendar year to show progress toward their end goal?

I've spent long enough in PC gaming to know you should never believe it until you see it. What makes this game any different?

Ordinarily, I too would be rather wary of Early Access games and have been burned by a few of them. That said, we have actually gotten quite a few features in the last few months:

Several new Russian vehicles, (T-62,T-64, T-80) with Russian voice-overs and new optics,
Revised Artillery/Air-support/Helicopters
Smoke screens and grenades
Revised munitions to match the 1985 time frame

Come to think of it, the devs have been pretty good at making a few changes at least once a month and bug fixes, rather than making a big update every six or seven.

If you still want to be skeptical, than I congratulate you on your principles. I've been having fun with the game and capturing my nostalgia for playing M1 Tank platoon in 1991.

aint that kinda... normal tho? most games do have a LOT of reviews from people with ~15- hours.

There's significantly more reviews with less than 20 Hours than most games.

The majority of negative reviews tend to actually have more hours in game.

It's a weird trend that I figured needed a little prodding.

Guys, you all need to quit responding to Mr. GerthQuake. He's just a troll trying to bait everyone.

I got that by the flag of his surrender daddies.

Right, I'm a troll for having a reasonable discussion.
