[SubConscious]

I was one of the many who eagerly awaited Silent Hunter 4. I have learned, however, to be cautious about purchasing spin-offs of existing games.

The main reason for this is simple: I don’t like being an unwitting beta tester.

So when I read the reviews of Silent Hunter 4, I decided to wait until the UbiSoft team fixed the multitudinous bugs. I’m still waiting.

If there is a reason for UbiSoft to hustle on this and future patches it’s because of people like me. I’m the sort who will not only buy the game, I’ll buy the subsequent expansions and add-ons. I’ll also tell all my friends about the game and try to convince them to play it. One of my friends hosts LAN parties of up to 15 people. None of the regular players have SH4 yet.

They say time is money. In this case, it’s absolutely true. I won’t be buying the game until my SubSim compatriots are giving it two big thumbs up.
