no, the same doesnt apply to sh3 and sh4 because they ARE simulation games


sh3 game genre - simulator

sh4 game genre - simulator

sh5 game genre - action/adventure


i cant say much more then that, but do I wish it could be a sim? yes, but when they (UBI) tells you its not a sim we must accept the reality of the truth.

Ubi can call it whatever they want, doesn't mean squat to me to be honest. They wouldn't be the only ones that don't know what to call it:

Like I said; When I look at the shots and trailers, what I see is Silent Hunter, not "Super Convoy Fighter Turbo".

But nevermind, we'll see how this thing turns out at release. :yep:

You tell your daughter to WAIT and read some reviews once this game is out. Because right now we have no idea if it sucks or is the best subsim since Aces of the Deep. Right now it looks like some kind of scary hybrid between The Sims and SH4, but that's just my opinion.
Also I'm assuming you know all about the constant connection thing? That means you have to have reliable DSL minimum internet if you want to play.

Point there. Too many "How?"s and "What?"s still left to answer, and besides the final judgement by many people saying it is arcadish just by the interface, I hold the opinion that we can't judge either way, not with just partial information. Without full information, it is difficult to send a judgement. We don't have enough information as to whether it will be a hit or a fail, so, if possible, your daughter should wait, and if not possible, she should get you something else. Better to change the present than to hold hopes high and then be disappointed by a present you don't like.
And in case you're wondering, I'll be buying the game, despite some serious concerns of mine, but my honest opinion is that presented above.

Cheers :rock:

Have you played SH5?
Or are you beta-tester for it?

For someone SH3 and SH4 are "shooter" games if aren't 100% real, or with 100% difficulty but without "veteran" escort...

I would suggest you wait until UBI releases a gameplay video.

Usally they put one out just before release.

But with all the heat they may not.

It seems the more they "show & tell" the worse it gets.

Apologies if you have already made reference to your actual birthday date Bill but if it is after the release date it might be wise for you to await the inevitable reviews and opinions which will abound this forum.

The alternative is to pay your money and take your chance (well your daughters money anyway) :DL
