This is The Thin Red Line between the two where they can oft hurt each other if the line is crossed.
Take the following for example: Yes, it's realistic that a captain would not have to produce the entire solution for the the torpedo, but the game lets you do that to increase the immersion and overall interaction with the game. |
Honestly, you make a great point. People play the game for different reasons. So with that in mind....I know, I know...I'll stop being such a rivetcounter
Anyways, I got confused as to what the criticism du jour was. Whether it wasn't hardcore simulation enough, or Halo 2 shoot-em-up enough. :p
