Yup, they were pretty merciless...

what a bunch of chowder heads.

i am pretty sure they reviewed 1.0 because the crew management screen they show has crew with red bars. i know for a fact its not 1.2 and as far as i remember 1.1 wasnt like that? or maybe it was 1.1 that did make it like that...damn i cant remember but

if they are sick of ww2 games its prolly from too many fps and well what do they do...run around shooting **** with their gun like its a fps.

Did not like the alcohol laden barnicle sailor comments. Basically made a joke out of the genre. Not everyone wants to play car theft games:roll:

Yeah, that show is more for "entertainment" value than actually reviewing a game (any game). But I do give Adam credit in the middle of his piece for actually listing a lot of features of the game. He covered a lot of ground in a short time. It's clear he was reviewing v1.0 because of the crashes. My first review copy crashed like crazy, so I agree with his portrayal of the crashing. Thanks to the dev team for getting the first essential patch ready fast. Some reviewers have a policy of reviewing the game as released only. I have always had the policy I will review the game with patches, if time permits, and I have done follow ups to reviews to assess the game months/years later if subsequent patches and add-ons came out:

Command Aces of the Deep
Grey Wolf
Fast Attack

My goal is more slanted to giving the player the latest and greatest info on the game, not scoring the developer's results at the time of release. :ping:

They have some funny reviews on occasion, but this one just showed their complete ignorance at how to play a sub sim. I think almost every attack he was making was on the surface. Note the ignorant amount of destroyers heading at him while he's gunnin' it out on the surfac

I agree with a 3
 
If they would have released this game with fewer bugs and some better visuals It would have been Better. I say take SH3 and put SH4's graphics to it And you would have an unstopable killer game!! But instead I get to drop off a spy on Honshu for EVERY SINGLE MISSION OF THE ENTIRE WAR!!!!! :arrgh!:

For those of you that are not familiar with Morgan and Adam' style, I doubt they have ever given a serious review of any game. Satire and humor always at the games and their expense. They will only review games as released, never patched.
Game reviews are rarely longer than 1 to 2 minutes....and they're trying to put out some information along with the jokes, it's TV folks its supposed to be entertaining.

The review was accurate....3 out of 5....hardcore submariners will love. Face it people its a niche game, it ain't gonna out sell God of War II. I personally give it a 3 out of 5, with the hope that it will be fixed and then earn the seldom issued 5 out 5.

VonBlade 05-20-07 09:28 AM

It's got to be a joke review because the unpatched game isn't worth 1, let alone 3. Patched maybe a 3. Everything working it would be a 6.


I don't understand why people belittle FPS games though. FPS games are the reason that PCs can play games at all. FPS games were at the forefront of pushing hardware along. Without them SH4 would consist solely of the map screen and some paper cutouts. Yes they aren't for everyone (I'm too old and have played too many to be interested any longer), but they aren't solely the province of the labotomy-class gamer.
