I bought this game Aug 1st and i am totally disabled and so i play this game 12,14 sometimes 16 hrs a day i can't sllep much due to my back.So by playing this game so many hrs kind of makes me a game expert and this guide is to help those who have question's and need help.Also i have a data spreadsheet that lets one get rid of all the jotted notes of crab counts and trying get a avg.The data sheet puts all your pots into order by numers such as string 1 pot 1 and so on you input the hrs into season and the total fleet crab counts into there spots and whammy the total seasons hrs like 136 hrs for a King season.It will avg how many lbs are in 5 pots .If you put your soak times in when you put in your total crab count from your plotter and your crab count the difference in lbs will show and you put that in the spot next to your crab count. Guys or gals this data sheet will even tell you how many individual crabs are in the tank.The data sheet even has step by step destructions on how to use the data sheet i will not leave port with out it.I just finished a king season and with 200 pots i hammered almost 360,000 lbs in a 132 hr season.The guide also will cover what is the best way to set your pots what is the best way to choose your crew without going broke. In another forum i have helped alot of other game Capt's So if anybody needs help do not be afraid to ask that is what i did Even the boat you choose the crew those two things are a big factor if you don't have a balanced crew one person or two will be doing everything and you will see that in there health meter it will go down more that others.

The other night as i started out on the awesome king season i had alot of others asking does the gas gauge work??Also does the depth gauge work??The answer is YES they do I drained all the fuel out of THE CRABCRUSHER but a 1,000 gallons and then i set out with 200 pots.I set the first 50 pots then i headed back to dutch when i docked and it opened it up and i started with 1,000 gals after 50 pots i had 868 gallons left so in 50 pots you will use 132 gals of fuel of course it will vary on what boat is used.The other is the depth gauge everything is fathoms how much is 1 fathom it is 6ft.LOLOL So the next time you see 11 fathoms on your depth gauge your are in 66ft of water there was a big discussion about did it work or did it not until i proved that they both worked.LOLOL I sure was not about to run out of fuel and hear it from my crew and the embarassement of a tow from the coasties.

Personally, I love the game. But when I bought it, the cashier told me that it wasn't even worth it. I told him that I didn't care, and he said that everyone who has bought it had returned it. I love the game! I find it interesting and difficult, but I would never dream of returning it. Any opinions?

Has anyone else had a problem installing the demo? My computer pops up a screen that says the installer file may be corrupt or incomplete. I've tried re-installing in a couple of times, but still can't install it! Frustrating!!!

It's out. My brother has it. It's pretty hard, but accurate. You have Sig in pop-up screens giving you tips. and Nick sounds very Russian.

Hey guys,
I played it tonight, and it was great. Every bit as addictive as the show or online game. Now I'm not saying it's a masterpiece in gaming, but you do have to remember it's the developer's first game. Despite some minor continuity issues, the game is absolutely a blast to play. It gives you a great peek into what life is like as a crab boat captain, and you'll definitely start to understand why those guys get so stressed. I'd definitely say it's a must have for any DC fans who are gamers. Not really serious gamers perhaps, but if you like low key, just-for-fun type games I think you'll like it. It's even kind of convinced me I need a 360.

Very cool review, GalwayGirl. Thanks! I was going to ask if anyone had played yet. I seriously need to pull the trigger on a Xbox 360 -- cheaper than a PS3, right? ;)

The latest is that Alaskan Storm has pass all the tests needed, as of today, to go ahead and launch. With this news coming the release date has been pushed back to the 17th. I know it is frustrating for all of us, waiting only to wait some more. I am very confident that this game will finally hit store shelfs on the 17th of June.
