Its just me.....

[CaptainHaplo]

Ok - I bought this game for 6 bucks through subsim on Amazon. I had played with it a little when it first came out at a friends house. I saw potential.

Now, I have had this game a while - and I guess it is just me but its just... well... not fun.

All the steps taken to make the game more "realistic" - prettier graphics, FPS style wandering through the boat, etc - it just doesn't resonate with me.

Maybe its the clunky controls. Maybe its the lack of a way to actually HIT something with torpedos (I kid you not, I'm like a tornado and I can't hit the broad side of a trailer park to save my life!), maybe its the fact that my u-boat won't dive unless I personally close the conning tower hatch. I mean really, not a single other soul on this boat has the brains to do it when I order us to dive? The campaign structure just doesn't work for me. What ever happened to offering to start me outside port so I didn't have to muck around 30 minutes (through constant time scale resets) just to get to a clear area where I could get to my target objective. Yes, I know some of you love it - and I did the first 2 or 3 times - but it got old. Options are good....

Mods have helped, but this game just doesn't have the IT factor that 3/4 did for me personally. Maybe one day I will reinstall it, look to see if there are some good mods out that fix the problems I had with this game. For now, 3 with GWX is going to have to be reinstaled.

I wish all you 5'ers fair seas and homeward winds.
