I suppose some people might find the "Well...my GF bought the game for me...and...uh, yeah, it's awesomeness!" threads entertaining and useful in some way (no idea how), but personally I'd rather watch paint dry. It's just as boring, and just as pointless, unless they are going to give us some useful information regarding the game itself.

Ah, but of course it makes sense. By 'useful information' you mean 'useful ammunition'. Your stance is at once clear, you only require proof of a bug for it to be a 'worthwhile' review. Actually, from what I have read, not even proof, just a hint of an error is enough to say 'this game is full of bugs'. It's amazing the amount of bugs there are in a game where you don't have to understand how it works. I myself find the bug of 'no instadeath to convoy smart bomb lolcat roflcopter device' particularly annoying. When will Ubisoft learn that you can't have a decent subsim without even the most basic instadeath to convoy smart bomb lolcat roflcopter device . Stupid idiots that they are - spending all that time understanding the code whilst we, the unitiated people who don't know anything about the code come in and decide for people that such and such is bugged, because we don't understand the scout planes don't have weapons. lol factor 9.

Let's pull it back a few notches, okay? This type of posting pattern begets nothing.

Actually, Nisgeis, I am talking to you. No need for that type of mockery. It is only going to result in problems, okay?

Well it was fun coming back to this after posting it and letting some time pass. For the record, it really did feel weird not buying the games as I usually buy them on the first day of release. I remember the good old days in the late 80's/early 90's when there were easily 4 or 5 new games coming out each month.

But I digress. I thought it might help for someone who wants to hold off but is tempted. On the other hand I can see how this gets old quick so I'm glad a few of you at least had some fun with it.

And no, I have nobody to buy it in proxy to answer your question.

Right now I'm still getting over the fact that from all indications Silent Hunter 5 is actually Silent Hunter 3 with a face lift. This blows me away. If it's true, I would have expected a lot more "good" things being reported instead of all the disappointments.
