I used to be so good at Cold Waters. I became so bad at Cold Waters.

Always doing the same noob mistake, but... it's a strategy that used to work so well. Getting ridiculously close to a sub,...

Yeah, I know nothing about this game except what I've found on my own : I've been careful about spoilers.

But the "reset" is required. It's a very time-based game, in the sense that the universe...

I don't think it's the language. The acting feels as heavy-handed as the writing, and as a french speaker myself, I found his tone off. Clumsy like a dad reading a child book with too much emphasis....
