Bahger Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I'm curious about the game but BF's advance materials puzzle me. -- What is the focus of the gameplay and does it reward deep knowledge of maritime warfare and tactics? -- What is the theater and timeframe? Defense of coastal UK shipping c. 1941? -- How can the player be managing a large-scale sea-battle while commanding a PT boat? That's an immersion-buster, surely? -- What are the variety of missions and what is the tactical focus? If it's about PT Boat operations, it would involve defense against U-Boats, protection of allied convoy shipping in the English channel and (later) attacks on German shipping by night off the French coast. I get NO sense at of any historical fidelity in this sim (or is it a game?) whatsoever. BF needs to get a handle on this and do a much better job marketing the game. I want to see reviews of the non-US release, as any deliberate omission raises doubts about the quality of the thing. As a serious tactical gamer I want to know more about integration of tactics into gameplay, historical fidelity, nature of missions, scale of operations and progress through a campaign (if there is one...is there?). Come on, BF, I'm your target customer for this kind of product but I'm not going to buy it, or even download the demo, on the basis of a bunch of videos of ships shooting each other.

Croy Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 You are not going to download a free demo to try the game for yourself? You would rather Battlefront produce a ton of out-of-game marketing material instead? Asking for a ton of pointless additional promotional material seems like a waste of time to me when a free demo will be available to see for yourself.

Bahger Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 I get what you are saying, Croy, I may as well d/l the demo. On the other hand, I get a funny feeling that this thing is a pig in a poke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Relax, much more feedback is on the way, I mean really, the game was just released a few days ago. Found a review for it here: http://www.impulsegamer.com/pcptboastsknightsofthesea.html I'm like most others around here, want some solid feedback/demo before diving in.
