I'm in the minority of people who have DI -only got mine 2 weeks ago, who'd sell it for POTC. I just right from the start have never had any feeling for the Dialed In theme itself right back to the announcement - I was swayed by friends in the trade who'd assured me it was a machine I would 'have to have' in my collection. The flow-on effect is the machine doesn't get any real 'buy-in' from me when I'm playing it so I don't really engage with it and get drawn into the game play the way I should. Each to their own I guess, probably the first machine I've really gone against the tide on in all the time I've owned machines.

Quoted from RTS:

I'm not even sure punctuation would help make this clear.

Considering the many forums I've participated on over the years and many thousand posts (just not on this one), this doesn't happen too often. I always go to efforts to try to get my point across effectively.. I sometimes tag thoughts together (with a dash) as it often makes it easier to get related sentiments across. My issue with DI isn't exactly an easy one to verbalise and, hence the difficulty in getting my point across (effectively).. But lets have another go.. What I'm saying here is from day one the DI theme bugged me. When a theme doesn't sit well it can go right to your core and colour your perception of the entire game, sucking the enjoyment out it (or taking your focus away) when you play it. I can't really explain it any other way than that. POTC on the other hand is a theme I've always liked. To that point, I even owned Stern POTC for a time and didn't mind it even though it's a pretty average mid 2000's Stern.
