A review that does not make the game look bad!!!.

Is anyone satisfied? NO!!!!

What are some people saying? "Oh this previewer doesn't know how to write a review".

OH FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!

The guy obviously has some background with SIMULATORS!!!! I have never liked how I could go from the radio room, to the bridge in the blink of an eye. I am the captain of the ship, not an omnipotent being.

I would only hope that this feature works like this. I begin in the engine room chatting with Johan, someone screams out "Ship spotted, Be... (obscured by some noise), closing!!". At this I hit the key for the bridge, and my virtual self begins walking nonchalantly toward the bridge ladder. Realizing this is to slow I hold down a key, which causes my virtual self to book it to his destination. I see the wonderfully rendered interior and crew flash past as I make my way to the control room, and hear "ALARM!!!" followed by that bell. Once in the control room I see the watch crew pile down the ladder, and the watch officer telling what he saw, as the sounds of water flooding the tanks fills the room, as the crew clamors forward, and the boat takes a downward angle. I then change my desired room with the appropriate icon or key stroke...the control room. Then order 150 or so meters, silent running. From there, possibly pass under a harmless boat, or evade a depth charge attack.

Notice, I was not able to make it to the bridge, and had to quickly change my decision as to my next actions. This is pretty darned realistic to me, making this much more a simulation than a game. Compared to SH4 where I could go from the forward part of the control room to the bridge in the blink of an eye.

Which is more realistic? Which is more a game?
