Ubi Dev's: We/I love you. Keep doin' what you're doing.

Ubi Marketing Suits: Give the dev's enough time to do what they need to do.

I hereby promise not to whine before SH5 is released. Assuming everybody follows the above, I won't need to whine afterwards

.

Personally, I'd love to see some sort of preorder... send my money in, support the dev's, and don't worry about when it's released, just worry about the condition it's in when it's released.

I'm buying the game as soon as it comes out...maybe two... for my 80 year old father (his birthday is in March)

I promise to play SH5 if ubisoft promises not use starforce and make the game vista 64 bit compatible!

There are few games I have spent more time on then the Silent Hunter series, and few forums I spend more time on then Subsim. I will be purchasing it from here on the first day it becomes available.

Ohhh... Another interesting question...

Will the code be optimized for multicore processors?

Excellent post.

I for one second the call for common sense. However I lack the patience to wait so long. Not only that but such games become hard to find a few months after release.

I have learned to give UbiSoft a leap of faith, SH4 was not finished upon release but at least they did work to patch it well enough to make it a worthy sim. I do pray that they've learned the lessons of SH4 and be a little more patient with their release date in order to give a complete game, At least put together well enough for loyal Subsimmers such as us to enjoy enough to make the wait for subsequent patches very bareable.

However the need for a commercial success with SH5 cannot be denied, And I for one will pre-order via subsim and worst case scenario will shelf it until it is patched properly, I'll still have the game ready until said patch arrives. However I am quite confident that the game will be enjoyable enough until then. Let us not forget what the point of games, yes even detailed simulations, are. To have fun, If I'm able to have fun Playing SH5 then the asking price for the title will be quite justified, and any subsequent patch will be gravy from that point on.

Unlike most game companies, UbiSoft at the very least tends to listen to fans and do try to correct mistakes. The responsibility is not solely on them, It's shared by all of us to have patience, to be constructive, and most of all, to enjoy the experience. SH2 was a disappointing installment, but great efforts were made to salvage the game and make it enjoyable. The result was SH3 which blew most of us away. I believe our patience and support will reward us in kind with a lovely experience with SH5. They already have a foundation to work on from SH3 with it's large success and universal praise. Ubisoft can't claim ignorance with what the masses want. I have faith that they'll use that knowledge constructively.

Silent Hunter 5 will be fun, Even if it's not perfect upon release. That's good enough to tide me over until the patches are released.

I think SH5 will be fantastic once finished though.

Though not as bad, I fully agree

MaciejK · 08-24-09, 12:14 AM

i am going to get this game on the day of it's release, if possible via preorder. But if it has some serious bugs, plus some ridiculous resolution problems or other simly STUPID bugs, I will whine. If it is free from those - I will not, I will praise it. Simple as that. As I do not know what will come out of it - no reason to bitch about it. I'm very happy that UBI is continuing the series, and I'm hoping for a great game. The devs could use some ideas from the GWX IMHO...

Where can I preorder SH5?

Hi Oscar, you don't think this topic is good subject matter for a news link?

Some hopeful signs and words of encouragement form Ubi CEO Yves Gulliemot in a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz...

"That's why we believe it's time to invest, because it's the right time to continue to expand the brands we're creating, and to make better games. Because we wanted to come here this year with another level of quality.

On some products last year we were not as happy as we wanted, so this time we've been investing more to make sure that everybody will be happy with the games that we launch."
