How would you rate this game at the moment

[Reece]

I think it would be interesting for those who have the game to rate Silent Hunter 5 on a scale of 1 (Epic fail) to 10 (Fantastic)!:hmmm:
Before voting please think seriously about the rating you give.

>>Before voting please think seriously about the rating you give.


Been thinking about that for the last two or three days. The best thing i can say, is I prefer the PTO and fleet boats. I spent the last few years modding just that in SH4. I have alot of time, and effort invested in it all; and yet, find myself wanting to play Sh5. It has its good points, it's bad points, the usual bugs, a few inexcuseable bugs, a hell of a lot of potential, and a lead anchor stuck fast that prevents it from leaving harbor. (at least for me)

Can't we just call it Beta?

[Mondaiji]

I gave it a 7 for what seems posible with it. Maybe i should have given more thought on the "How would you rate this game at the moment" :oops:.

Just rateing it for what it is right now 4.

[LeonTheNorse]

I gave it a 5.

Drm takes away 2 points for me.

[Exakt]

I gave it a 3, SH5 feels like a public beta that we actually paid for...
Has great potential, but sadly, they shoved half of the features out the window and Bork them. It is the same with the DRM... We are the paying beta testers...

[Ziggy]

When it is good, it is pretty good, when its bad its very bad. Between 8 and a 4 depending on the day lol. I guess a 6 but with a very high chance of a 8 in the future.

At the moment v1.15 (without mods) I give the game a 3:
+1 graphics
+1 TDC (I actually like the new one because we can enter data manually)
+0.5 for the interior (although you can't do much so I now wish they just made that free camera for the SH3+SH4 interiors)
+0.5 for the recognition manual (too bad the pics are too small and there's no data shown)

The score should increase with each patch as more problems are solved.

You know what the weird thing is? This is one of the most stable games I own, hasn't crashed once. Despite some missing commands and features, I'm progressing through the campaign without any game-breaking bugs. I'm getting enough tonnage to fill my objectives, so even the smaller issues aren't holding me back.

:hmmm:

7 out of 10. 8 if they can resolve the more pressing issues (add the missing commands, tweak morale system), 9 if they can get all the planned features implemented and most bugs worked out, and a solid 10 once the modders had their go at it.

Keep in mind that a 10 in this case doesn't mean 'perfect', but 'fantastic', i.e. the best SH to date.

[Vorkapitan]

I gave it a 7 even though I would have liked to give it more!

I'm sure after 1 or 2 patches it good go to 9 or 9+.

[Brewtality]

I gave it an 8, it's a great game with even greater potential.

I suspect that a few mods is all that I need to enjoy this unpolished gem for a long while.

[gutted]

When i first got it, i felt it was like a 5 or a 6.

After considerable amounts of playing i give it high 7.

[HanSolo78]

Voted a 5!

And that because there are sooo much bugs, missing things... half baked things and reliquies from Sh3/4...

To finish Sh5 for a release the devs at least would need about 6 months.. probably a year!!

[Letum]

The results might be more intresting if there is an identical poll in the SH3 forum about SH3.

[Iliaz]

I voted for 7. Fix up the bugs and end those CTD's and it'll be a straight 8. I enjoy the Game more than I enjoyed SH3 Vanilla. The moment when the first supermods surface, this will be my new queen. :)

[CCIP]

It's a 7 from me. A somewhat shaky 7, but a 7 nonetheless. However as with Ducimius, I'm on hold with playing it for now - although not due to DRM, but mostly due to waiting for a patch. I fully expect it to be patched up at least a bit before I really sink my teeth into it - there is a lot of good things in the game, but the layers of silly bugs make it difficult to fully embrace right now.

[Mud]

I gave it a 7, no less no more.

I'm actually amused at the stats. There is a nice bell curve centered around 7 right now which I think is totally the rational assessment of this game - but then BAM, there is suddenly a spike at 1 at the bottom. Honestly, I bet my bottom that most of those 1 ratings aren't really ratings of the game itself...

[Tomi_099]

:yawn:
I think in this current state where the game at the moment it is only worth 6 points.
Too bad I would give them more, but since many things are missing or are defect.
And no cow to milk. Too few highlights! :-?


Ich denke in diesen momentanen Status wo das Spiel im Moment ist es nur 6 Punkte wert.
Schade ich würde ihnen mehr geben, aber da viele Dinge nicht vorhanden sind oder fehlerhaft sind!!
Und keine Milchkuh zu melken ist. Zu wenig Highlights !!

I too have given it a strong 7, would have gone higher if it had been more completed and if they had kept the UI and controls and such from SH3. And also of course if not for DRM. But it is what it is, and so far except for once it has worked flawlessly with the exception of what happened the other day but that was on my end and system, not with UBI or the sim.

But man I just am blown away by the graphics, the entire boat modeled and able to wander through it and on it from bow to stern.
As I came into port at Kiel on this first trip out as a first officer, I kept getting an uncontrollable smile at the stunning sights. And so much harbor traffic and escorts around I had to keep a real sharp eye out, in fact had to come to a stop nearly as one DD crossed my course ahead of me.
I counted ten ships in all between DD's and merchants. as I made my way in.
Never ever saw this in SH3, nor have I seen the sea so well modeled in any sea going sim. Oh, and then there is on top of that,(or under rather) the undersea world as well.

And then once docked, and after the meeting with the base commander and my Captain, and being informed of my promotion to Captain and given the boat and crew I was having such a nice time wandering around the pen.
This is such a far far greater thing than SH3 ever hoped to be.
And I think that once the patches come along, it'll become a 10 without a doubt.
