Hah, I'm not the only one who voted 'I haven't bought this game, but I probably will buy it'. There IS another person :DL

I think I got my money's worth out of the game. But compared with how much I enjoyed both SH3 and SH4, my personal opinion is that SH5 is a fiasco.

Hmm..we have today one serious subsim devloper for all of us subsim fans...we might think to be abit more supportiv and think more about creative critisism rather then trying to sink them....just a thought

That was me, but there are four of us now. You can click on the numbers to see who voted how.:sunny:

I voted that way too, but polls like this aren't nuanced enough to cover all the conditions. What I intended with that vote is more like "I haven't bought this game, but I probably will buy it, but it depends on what it looks like after more official patches and whatever the modders can do."

To balance out that somewhat positive-sounding vote of confidence, I also voted that the game is a "fiasco," which is exactly what I think about the current state of the game. And yes, even with mods, from what I've seen so far. I'm the perfect target audience for this type of game. I've bought every major tactical combat sim since the early days of home computers. It's a tragedy that Ubi can't manage to release something that gets someone like me -- who will buy any good PC simulator game -- to pull the trigger.

It's unclear to me how much the modders can do with SH5 in the main areas I care about -- the AI mostly, but also things that break immersion like pathfinding glitches. So I'm still waiting to see what happens. I haven't bought DCS Black Shark yet (haven't had a computer that could run it until very recently), so they're getting my money this month instead of Ubi, who should have been first in line.

LOL I was seriously looking at purchasing a new machine specifically for SH5. Still absorbing the comments and waiting, of course. Thanks, subsim! :yeah:

I would have voted that way also but looking at recent history made me choose otherwise...

Let's pretend you live in a small town that only has one barber.

You go for a hair cut, and he sets your head on fire. Are you going to keep going back just because you need to "be abit more supportiv"? He is the only barber in town, after all. If he goes out of business, you won't have a barber at all.

:) Good one m8!
Taking it to a new dimension makes it all clear :DL

Not quite a good metaphor.
I could whoop that Barber Arse!
He's right there with a fire extinguiser!
(Or better be!)
:haha:

Where's those in charge of this mess?
I think a public lynching is in order.
At the very lest?
Tar and feather and run outta town on a rail!

I'd ask the barber who cut his hair and go there.

He's bald.

I played SH3 and 4 vanilla out of the box (even without patches) for a long time without major issues generally, bugs I can deal with, this DRM I cannot (Literally, I can't use it weather I want to or not)

Remove the online requirement, Ubi has a sale.

I cut my own hair. It's short enough that it takes no effort at all. :O:

I was looking for the selection that describes my feelings, but didn't find it.

It's crap, but the modders just might be able to salvage it.

Are you entertained?

That's what you're paying for with the least effort required... same as any other entertainment lol. :DL

I voted as follows:

It's not bad, but can be improved by Ubi.

It's not bad, but can be improved by modders.

:up:

And burnt probably:har:

Haven't bought it, not likely to.

That's cool. I'm pretty busy with other things. :)
