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.

To be honest. Do you care about the Lunchboxes? or the Housecoats? No? I thought so. Nor do I. Thats just putting up an argument for arguments sake isnt it?

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.

You probably didn't have half the expectations for SH3 that you do for this game. You expect this game to outdo SH3 by a 100%. And it just cant!

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.

Hmm, AFAIK neal gave SH3 a 100%. Was it THAT good? Not in my opinion. But it WAS good. |
No, I really do care about the Lunchboxes and Housecoats because I knew zilch about sub sims when I picked up Silent Service II a long time a go in a galaxy far away. I've been hooked on sub sims ever since. So, yeah, it does make a difference in whether you put out a good product that keeps people coming back for me. I know it did for me and sub sims.
And I do trust Neal to give a good, honest review. And, yes, with all its faults SH3 was 100% because of all the new benchmarks it set in sub sims. That's just a fact.
And, finally, I catagorically do not expect SH4 to outshine SH3. I expect it to stand on its own, one way or the other.
