Worth Buying ?

Skip,

I sat on the fence for a week reading forum posts here and watching who knows how many hours of youtube videos. The whole time asking my self the same question you asked.

I finally bought the game this AM - what tipped me over the edge was the SubSim community support/enthusiasm and the developers' engagement with the community. So far I am enjoying it very much and feel I will definitely get more than monies worth of fun out of it.

Granted I am still learning, but I am already talking my torpedoes into their target and applying 'body english' as I take evasive actions.

Good luck with your decision Skip.

Another hearty recommendation here

Just to echo what everyone else has said

A great deal of fun currently - can only get even better from here

Very responsive developers who seem keen to listen to suggestions - and also they are turning out patches very fast - seems they have a real commitment to the game

As if that wasn't enough - SUBSIM members have already started to delve into the game and make MODS for even more fun

Or look at it this way
I spend £30 on this.
Looking at my STEAM account - it seems I have already had 68 hours of enjoyment of this game
And I have no inclination to stop playing yet - so it is going to end up in the hundreds of hours I am sure

Hundreds of hours of entertainment for £30 investment seems like a pretty good return to me

This game is a buy now. Don't wait. Well worth the cost.

Absolutely get it!

Bugs are being patched rapidly and new features incoming. It's in excellent shape already though. If you like modern sub warfare / RSR it's a no brainer. Waiting means you just don't love yourself enough to give yourself joy.

This is a fantastic game that will only get better and better over time.

Great sub games are a rarity nowadays. Having something like this is amazing especially with the pro active developers!

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I'm also running into the same dilemma.
I'm a 688/SubCommand/Dangerous Waters vet, having also played some SH4.

I've been gathering information on Cold Waters ever since receiving that email from Onkel Neal, and i've seen some videos on youtube.

Even though I've been pleasantly surprised by it, I feel it may be a little too simplistic for my taste, as there's pratically no TMA involved, the distances are way too close for comfort (25kyards), and the overal gameplay a bit too arcady (especially the torpedo dodging part).

What do you guys think?
