Thank you for notifiing me off the serial number:oops: Ill post game pictures later, its 00.40 and i have a mission, some japanese DD etc to en****er! :D

Shipshape, I hope you can answer this before you delve back into the sim, but, where did you get it? Amazon? UBI? Subsim? Store-shelf? I'm just trying to gauge when to expect it here in the UK. Thanks in advance...

I find it interesting that he wants to go back to playing his 'nonfunctional' sim. :hmm:

:lol:

I find it interesting that they moved the US release date to the 20th to make it more fair for the rest of the world yet sweeden gets it the 16th. Just a thought.

With the money he has invested in that "Collectors Edition" I don't blame him for jumping back in, buggy or not. ;)


NUTS, Wed 3/21/07 just isn't getting here fast enough, I'll just sit here in my rocker and twiddle my thumbs for a few more days.:cry: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...n/LETTER11.gifAnd anyone who comes near my SHIV then will get buckshot. :arrgh!:

Haha, well, congrats, you're hereby declared "The First One" :p

(that is, the first on the Subsim to get the retail SHIV in their hands [Neal and the beta testers don't count, theirs isn't retail])

And ah, nothing surprising with going back to it despite the bugs. I saw bugs in SHIII from day 1, and I'm long past day 600 with that game and have been loving it just as much all along :)

It always ticks me off when A store releases it early. Now I think they should release it everywhere for its fair.:rock:

And does this mean that most the places might already have the game (my god if sweeden got it then they must all have them) and it will be on store shelves Tuesday instead of Wends.

my expectations are that upon getting it, i will do the following...

grab food and sodas, make beeline to room

play SH4 for the next 48 hours:rotfl::arrgh!::ping::up::yep::D

Well, US Mk XIV torpedoes had "only" 500lbs warhead, (if it eventually even detonated) so it din't have too much punch. Example, in October 1943, two US sub's put 20 torpedoes into the 10 000 GRT jap-tanker before she sank. So knowing this, it doesen't bother me if I have to use eel after eel to be able to sink something for the war effort.

Anyways, "Hit'em Harder"

An American Subsim that is released in Sweden first, and also has two contests going for a chance to check it out before release in the U.K. and Romania.

Ubisoft, bass-ackwards much?

Good times. LOL

Edit: Now that other people seem to be installing their copies, I just have to ask (since I lack videogame-self-control), who is the dumbass who planned this "world release" and then managed to bork it?

I have NO problem waiting until the 20th to recieve my copy. However, I DO take issue with paying Overnight Shipping for a product and then noticing that apparently everybody else is getting their copies whiile mine has failed to ship....even though I paid for the most expensive shipping option (which still wasn't much, but it's the principle behind it).

I just have to ask; Did the Ubisoft management take business classes via turn-based email? :P

Well, I'm a soldier and twenty bucks for overnight shipping is twenty bucks!!! I'm upset too...

Double post....please delete this one.... sorry.

Neal and others.....

Not that Im trying to flame here... but I think the reason more and more games are shipping these days half finished is because we ACCEPT the fact that its "ok as long as they patch". And this applies to more than just UBISOFT. EASports is HORRIBLE for releasing half finished games (ie bugs that have carried over through 2 or 3 Madden years, NFL Head coach...)

I can honestly say that if it wasnt for all the EXCELENT modders here...SH3 would have died a quick death on my HDD due to Ubi never FIXING what was blatantly broke in SH3, even after patch 1.4b. I got bored after my first patrol, and disgusted when my Type XXI that I saved up for turned out to be a piece of junk (battery bug, sonar bug...to name two). If it wasnt for GWX re-igniting my passion for SH3...I would have never played past 1 patrol (again THANKS GWX guys...you ROCK)

Now with that said...I sure hope SH4 dosent have a bug fest from day one. Because if we dont buy SH4...what other new subsim is there? Will I buy SH4...of course.... only because the fun factor outweighs the bugs, at least for now.

Shipshape - sorry about the suspicions before and I again wish ya all the best with the new game - hope we all get it soon!

Please post screenies if you can! There's a nice tutorial for making/posting screens in the SHIII forum if you aren't sure how:

Funny how for once, being first doesn't warrant a prize - it's a much bigger prize in itself :p

I hear you, but it's been said many, many times. I don't know how it's going to change. When will we stop accepting it? I don't know.
