I'd say most those whining people you are attempting to address in the OP, arent going to be visiting this forum until they feel the need to whine. :P

Hi All

I like playing BF2,IL2 & CD4. I LOVE playing Silent Hunter. So I'll sign & I'll buy from SubSim ASAP.

[ZiggyMon]

As I've done with almost all sims since the dawn of time... or well close enough atleast, I'll buy SH V on release, I'll bitch to myself if it's not finished and then I'll snoop around SUBSIM and find out what I can get to make the experience even more gratifying. There is nothing more gratifying then playing a new sim that you've been looking forward to. And Ubisoft deserves all the credit for keeping the sub genre alive still.

Sorry but can someone explain to me why this thread is sticky?

It got glue on it during arts and crafts class.

i gave it some thought and decided to sticky it because of its high interest. other than neal's original sh5 announcement thread there is no other thread anywhere near as popular as this one so for that alone it deserves to be noticed.

sh5 will be at least a year untill its released and we have no real content for sh5 except speculation, opinion, and wish list threads.

some threads you might see stickied now are not what you are used to seeing as sticky threads on other forums but that is only because (no offense meant to anyone) there arent any real sh5 threads yet because we dont have a real sh5 game yet to talk about.

there will be a transition period when the game is released where the stickies will be reviewed and some threads like this one will most likely be unstickied when the game actually gets released.

Let's not give the Silent Hunter 5 moderators a needlessly hard time. Instead, let's be positive and constructively critical when necessary, and let's purchase the new game through our own forum, using the link that Neal will provide, and by doing so support subsim and the continued development of the Silent Hunter franchise.

Well said. Not much in life is perfect. What may be for one may not be for another. Positive feedback is not bitching as long as it is ment to inform in a positive way. I have faith in our modders to fix a lot if necessary. We should all give thanks that we have Sub simulations.

"Buy it now or Ubi goes under"??? I'm not enabling Ubi or any other developer to release unfinished products by purchasing pre-release or initial release. Why reward them for what is unacceptable behavior in most other endeavours?

I'll buy it when it's right...and not a minute sooner.

Agreed.

I see no rush why should we act like crazy and buy it the first day of release. Knowing how frequently UBI likes to leave bunch of bugs in this genre of simulation, I'll go for saving my nerves and wait for a final patch and then buy it with pride rather then having omg, wtf game style due to various bugs that will deffinetly be. Sooner or later UBI will get their money back for their hard work anyway. If they do it the right way of course.

You can walk in first person in your sub, taste the soup, talk to crew,
What more you can ask.I will buy it when I see it in game stores .

[martes86]

I totally agree with Neal, word by word.

In my opinion, only a catastrofical bug cascade should stop you from buying the game. But if the game stands to what we're currently seeing, then we should show massive support. You don't know how important is in media (any kind of media) the first-day/week sells data. If there's a massive inmediate response, it would surely motivate further support to the franchise.

When we get some more ingame videos and pics, if it's good, I'll definitely buy it the day it's released, and surely encourage everyone to buy it too. I bought SH4 and didn't play it for weeks until I had a computer powerful enough. That way, I showed my support (though later proven that it was not very deserved), and I got my copy before stores ran out of stock (which usually happens in Spain with not-so-known titles quite fast, and when it happens, it's pretty hard to get a copy).


Get it and prove Ubi we're still very much alive as a community. In the end, they have to get it right one day after so much trial and error, don't you think? And I'd like to be there when that happens.

Cheers

I'll buy it simply because few other types of games will hold my interest, and I know that the bugs it will have will be fixed. I was, however, hoping for a WW2, worldwide, all Navy sim. Pick you theater and Navy, and start a career. Yeah it's a pipe dream.

Someday Buddahaid, someday. It reminds me of C&C Tiberian Sun, where if you had the expansion you picked what game you wanted to play first then pick your side. So the idea is out there, it would make a SH game unbelievably huge in terms of disk space.
