It's like deja vu all over again.

Is that Deja Vu... Deja Vu ?

Anyway.. the review... well I couldn't agree more at this stage in the patch cycle. Fix the bugs and add the missing bits and the game will be amazing.

Sounds like a fair review to me...

I really just do not understand the rush. Yes, I know $$$ plays a huge part, but, don't you think waiting just 2 months longer would allow them to put out a more complete game?

It should never have become acceptable for PC games to come out with major bugs... minor ones are fine, you cannot catch everything, but things like the game crashing on the A key, etc are just not good.

Enough of the negative.. the only part that made me groan was the AA part... Think the game deserved more than a 6.5 on that side.. the game is amazing looking imo. Corse I only run a 19 inch LCD.

A huge chunk of the article was just about complaining about missing AA. Being a non-eye candy junkie, I don't really care about that part.

Giving it a 6.5 in graphics because of no AA was a bit silly. The other parts of the review are pretty accurate though.

Meh...I thought it was just so-so.

It's a fair review, imo.

-from the article:
"If simulator fans can be called a nerdy bunch, then submarine simmers are the Stephen Hawkins of the gaming world."

Any nerd worth his salt would know it's HAWKING not Hawkins. :rotfl:

We need a mod that adds those hydraulic car bouncers to a submarine... and some gold... and spinners on the props.
