As a Cold War historian, I want this game to be a success. However, I have this lingering gut feeling that I am wondering if others are sensing too.
This game doesn’t bring anything new to the table.
Version 1 was a new military based rpg that “felt” as if it could actually happen.
Version 2/2.2 introduced a new rules system
Version 3 introduced a new rules system and setting.
Version 4 “feels like” a version 2 redux... Cold War setting with a new rule set.
Even if the history is well thought out and incorporates “what we know now” in a way that brings a true sense of what could have been, it’s still the same basic game experience that 2.2 was.
Don’t misinterpret, I hope to be proven wrong. This is simply based on a lingering sense that I am feeling in the back of my brain... right next to all of the other useless bits of information. But I am wondering if anyone else is sensing the same thing?
