I haven't bought this game and I will probably not buy it
It seems that mods are starting to make this game playable. So those that have bought this game are finally getting what they deserved in the first place. The issue of not being able to connect is still an issue, however.

Even if these great modders keep on improving SH5 I'll still not buy until DRM is removed. The ethical issue and UBI's way of doing business keep me from supporting their view by buying this game. I bought SH2, 3, & 4 even though UBI treats customers like garbage. But the DRM is past a point I'm willing to cross.

What i feel. As same as before, if you support crap you will get crap. Thats my opinion about Ubi$oft. I guess the times when developers put love and care into they work are long gone. Instead we got money hungry useless developers with lack of any kind of imagination.

What I feel? If I could play SH3 GWX 3 in full widescreen mode, without the bug that corrupts save games if you save while submerged, I would have erased SH5 a long time ago. As is, I have SH5 on the computer, but I don't really play it. And it's not just the bugs, the horrible AI, etc - I simply feel the devs have made a set og design decisions that alienate me from their product.
It's just not the sub sim experience I'm looking for.

Well, Since I farked up my GWX/sh3 copy, and It has decided it wont run unless I turn the resolution way down low. Ive learned to live with SH5...

After playing with it abit, installing a crap load of mods... Ive actualy started likeing the game abit.

That's strange!:hmmm: SH3 is nowhere heavy on computer demands as SH5, I must assume this is some sort of problem within Windows 7!:-?

You soon will be!
SH5 is getting better all the time. IMO it's almost up to the playability of SH3 now.

Patch 1.2 fixed the moral bug. and TDW fixed the stadimeter and UI. :yeah:

Onlything it's really lacking now is more ships.

I cant believe how quickly this game is being fixed.

I dont even want to play SH3 GWX3 anymore.... Just looks too old. :yep:

:salute:

Now that is very individual, and I would not subscribe to your statement. Anything below 256 colors I would consider dated, but when it comes to the rest, what I care way more about than graphics is realism, features, gameplay ideas, potential, excitement, etc. All of those have been in many excellent games in the past, and typically don't require eye-candy. For the latter, I prefer TV or photos anyway. So for me, unless someone reports wolfpacks working properly and coordinating attacks in a historical fashion (and of course the DRM goes away when it reaches the discount bin), it will remain SHIII+GWX. It has all the rest I need for a submarine simulation already.

I see tonschk is still posting his screenshots...
Ok you convinced me tonschk, I can never go back to playing SH3 because it looks ooold dude! :roll:

robbo180265 05-23-10 10:58 AM

I think it's all subjective anyway - I fired up SH5 and was completely blown away by the graphics again. However, my U Boat sim fix still comes from a heavily modded SH3.

One day (as long as there is interest) I'm sure that SH5 will equal or even surpass SH3 + supermods. When that time comes I will happily upgrade my pooter and start playing it all the time.

BTW tonschk - are you aware that you can make your pics smaller via MS paint? You use the stretch / skew function to do it.

Might not take half a hour for them to load up then lol.;)

Sailor Steve 05-23-10 11:37 AM

His pictures take so long to load because he's posting them in .png, which is several times heavier than .jpg. Use Photobucket. It automatically converts them to .jpg and automatically sizes them.

Méo 05-23-10 11:55 AM

Hmmm ...I see another U-boat in tonschk's picture of SH5 and hopefully real wolfpacks someday. :yep:

Now THAT would really outclass SH3!! :rock:
