I sort of agree with the review although I'd possibly move up to a 6

I found myself last night playing SH5 and actually wondering whether I should play a patched SH4 instead :( just too many bugs IMO

So what did you expect? The guy had been rubbing his hands in anticipation of an orgy at sea and close actions in the showers. It was obvious that as soon as he found out there was nothing like that, the review enthusiam would rapidly decline :har:

FAIR?

The only people being unfair are Ubisoft. On the few occassions I have time to play I cannot get on the server -5 points, that makes the score Zero.

Remove DRM, score up to 5. Fix bugs, Score up to 8.

Easy

Just do it.

Preferably before you con people out of their hard earned money.

The CEO Mr Yves Guillemott should be ashamed. He is ultimately responsible. Guess that means he doesn't give a ****

Fair?

The article was quite accurate!
:arrgh!:

I think it is a good review. SH-5 is crap. Our dream that we would have Wolfpack is further away than ever. You may hope we will get some patches to repair something. If you would have bought a new car straight from a dealer in a state as SH-5 is in now you would not survive you voyage home.

By the way does somebody know has to set torpedo depth? Or a way to find a ship's keel depth?

depth settings and ships keel are on the UI used to fire torpedos

Accurate Review, If a bit generous
 

Reviewer was a bit generous with 5/10 conclusion. I would have given it a 1/10.:-?

Months ago....
 

....I said I hoped that they would take the GWX version of SH3 and go nuts on improving that. The modded SH3 is a damn good game/simulation. It looks like they tried to re-invent the wheel yet again and have failed miserably. Additionally, the DRM issue seems to be the nail in the coffin. One can only hope that the subsim community (aka: paying customers) avoid buying this game enough that it sends a clear message to Ubisnob.:-?

Eurogamer would be winner of ""Banner for Ubi forums" contest:

-----------
"As a game, Silent Hunter 5 fails because the bugs and UI render it a chore. As a simulation, it fails because the bugs and UI render it ridiculous and incomplete. As a product, it's just overwhelming disrespectful to this long running series' fans. And finally, as one of the first games to receive Ubisoft's new copy protection, it's an embarrassment."
-----------

Nice a and professional banner... for Ubi forums.
Pity its too late...

Last thing Ubi could do with such a Eurogamer article is to say - let the people play offline... and save the brand and face.

What would French prime minister do if Le Monde rates him officially 5/10?

:hmmm:

Agreed. Despite the unnecessary attempt at sexual innuendo, the review made some very good points. Ubi have obviously got a lot of work ahead of them, to get this game to where it needs to be! That is assuming of course, they will continue to support it past the first two or three patches.

I´ll take that guy is not really a sim reviewer and maybe he has some good points, he is not a benchmark for me.

Mud

20 days Ancient. Not as if everyone here didnt read it already.

Sexual innuendo notwithstanding, I thought it was a fair and balanced review from someone who ADMITTED up front he was a fan of the series and was very disappointed with this, "bast*rdization!"

Er, WHAT are the "BioWare" and "Infinity Ward" competitors he's referring to?

Sorry, my bad, but as I said, it describes MY experience quite well without my long post...

I agree. It is a loonngg way from being finished.
