So Joe Lunchbox (or Sally Housecoat) buys this game, tries to play it and gets turned off from sub sims forever because of the unfinished feel. Kind of a bummer.

Sure, SH3 had problems, but I don't remember stock SH3 having this much furor over the rawness of the product. Didn't UBI make more money from the casual gamer buying SH3, not hardcore sub simmers like me and others who frequently inhabit these forums? Dunno. But again while I remember complaining about SH3 being "unfinished" when it came out, I don't remember it being this negative.

Then again I have trouble remembering what happened yesterday....

I'm really looking forward to Neal's review. I think that's going to tell us a lot and answer some currently unanswered questions and fears we all have regarding this game. Therefore, I am waiting patiently...but with my wittle heart going pitter patter.
I dont think that "casual gamers" are really there target audiance.
