Cold Waters

I very accurately predicted what would happen.  This was declared the modern equivalent of RSR.  I see people get excited about games a lot.  Nothing wrong with that.  But this thread seemed to go a little over the top.

The designer's declared it the modern equivalent of RSR. It seems more like the modern equivalent of SSN, which while a fun game is not in the same league as RSR.

Yeah, it's hard to be the modern equivalent of RSR when you ignore some of the design decisions of RSR that made it manageable. 

I'm holding out judgement, I haven't played the game one second.  However, just early impressions from others seems to be that the price is a bit high for the delivered product, and there might have to be a few quality of life improvements.  I'll let it grow into its own skin and go on sale before I take the dive into Cold Waters.

Today we salute you, Mr. totally accurate predictor of overhyped bad games.

Calling it like you see it, you're living the dream of every grognard.

You pop into every thread just so you can leave your two cents, and then say, I told you so after the fact.

Sure, there is danger...afterall, you might break your dongle, or it may be lost in your luggage.

Your keen instincts tell you to avoid games that your fellow gamers are excited about, and if they turn out to be good, who cares? You'll pick it up on sale.

So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, accurate predictor boy. 'Cause we all know, when the going gets tough, the tough get dongles.

I'm sure I'll buy it at some point. Most likely the first time it goes on sale.

Jarhead, you crack me up ... but Bud Light??? Please! I'm one of those effete "craft beer" snobs.

Anyway, I know I will get this sooner or later, I just hope the devs will do something about the course, depth micro-management. So I'm counting on you and Toonces for continued impressions to justify my $40 expenditure. I know I'm not going to be able to resist for long... help me, please

Weird.... downloading it here at my home PC it say it's 731MB...  ???

Great commercials (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQjash3vZuU&list=PLd7qU5EESCWIxmeEhatjcN5DQLLuEkRM8&index=1) , but the product still sucks. (Serious thread deviation)
