Got the game today.

Ubisoft's largest development studio is here in Montreal... I wonder if that has anything to do with the game being released this early here...

This awesome upgrade of the game , can someone tell me if this extends to the damage model ?

In one of the video releases where a merchant with what I can only discribe as goal post riggs with cranes ( don't know the correct term ) but the frame work over the holds , when the ship was hit moments later his whole rig came sliding off the ship in one piece, liked it did in SH3/SH4.

Was this just footage from an early version of the game or is the deck damage model more or less the same as previous games.

Thanks ...

EB Games. Their computers say it's released, which means that as soon as they have stock they'll sell them.

It's available (confirmed) in Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto. Probably in other EB locations too. And it's actually $10 cheaper there than at Best Buy

Yes. At install you choose between German and English voices (weird that it's not just a game option!). I chose German, and everything has English subtitles. Most immersive settings possible, IMO.

I guess it depends on where they actually assembled the box. I hope it will get to Europe (and thus Romania) on monday. I bet the devs also want to have a look at it eventually

I'm surprised, Thanks

Last time I went in a EB Games store, there was only few (very very very few) PC games.

I'm gonna check tomorrow if it's available in Québec City!

Yes, because as we all know, all bugs in a game are found within the first 20 minutes of playing, by 5 people...

I wish that was true

So that's why I used the word hope and the word if

Still searching for an answer :
Is there a free campaign with few fixed missions or is it such an dynamic **** like in SH2 ?

[malkuth74]

The word your looking for is Linear. Not dynamic. Dynamic means a campaign like SH3 and 4. And 5 by the way if that answers your question.
