I cannot hit anything

I have to agree with Malkuth. If the system was working in 2 previous games, why change it? For something to do?

Seriously, this "connect the dot" system is a complete joke, and it caters to the console gamer mentality honestly. Slowly I see this franchise going from true simulation to an arcade shooter with eye candy.

Don't companies understand that there are gamers out there that actually like realism and true simulation instead of only eye candy?

Sheesh.

Those dots can be easily modded out. Relax.

Sad fact of the matter is that games without great graphics just don't sell. So they're forced to sink a lot of time and resources into graphics. Gameplay suffers for it.

Sheesh.

It's not just the dots system, everything from the comical crew members to the Tonka-style engine controls to speech bubbles feels like they've moved away from a serious, somber study of submarine operations to a light-hearted, frivolous romp. Like Operation Petticoat for U-Boats. The whole mood of the game strikes me as inappropiate for a subsim.

Shame because the eye-candy, phycisal atmosphere are top-notch.

Yeah don't get me going on how you control the depth.. My god it hardly works.

What ever happened to the simple punching it a Exact dept and going to it.

Now you click on this tiny little graph and if your lucky you might come within 10-20 feet of what you wanted. If the click works at all.

They seriously did take a huge step back in this version. They changed too many things that worked well in the last 2 games. I like the whole crew aspect... But not at the cost of the fuctionality of the last 2 games.

They could of given us the crew and kept the dials, and things from the last 2 games... Change is bad.. LOTS of changes are real bad...

I wish I could talk positive about this game. But its hard. Maybe it will grow on me...

Maintaining depth is a PITA. I can't seem to get that key to work properly.
