I knew it. I just flippin' knew it.

Your lamb sacrifice failed!

Even if this game is good, I'm worried the expectations might doom it.

First time in my life I have ever quoted my self.

Do you have any actual information to indicate it is good? Or are just excited to be quoting yourself?

I don't think CW has ever claimed to be a hardcore simulation. The devs said yesterday that the controls are WASD all the way but there's a chance that they might change it if the player base wants that.

I don't think anyone was expecting or asking for a hardcore sim. Not manually driving the boat is not a hardcore sim expectation. You're supposed to be the Captain not the helmsman.

I think its safe to say the community will demand this change.

The controls in the old Tom Clancy SSN game were WASD. Fun game for what it was, but very arcade-y.

Thanks Toonces! I was ready to pull the trigger and thought I'd check the forum first. I'm on hold now :'(.

[JudgeDredd]

Yeah - thanks Toonces for taking one for the team.

I'm waiting patiently....... :-"

Who am I kidding. I'm still going to get it as soon as I get home...

I'll go down the bookies and pick up my winnings then (not that the odds were very good)

If this were $19.99, I probably wouldn't care about WASD controls and no mission saves, but at $39.99 I do care.

Nothing I listed up there are high expectations, Ryan.  The ability to dial in a course, depth and speed is pretty standard.  And saving mid-game is something people always gripe about.  And, considering how important periscope depth is, a key to drive the boat to it is kind of a given.

There seems to be a workaround for the course by setting waypoints, but I don't know if speed and depth can be set that way.

Maybe I'm wrong, though.  I'm hoping to hear some other impressions.  I have a very, very stong feeling, though, that the sub sim community is not going to like this at all.  I'm all for streamlining, but perhaps this is a bit too streamlined.
