Your doing well so far. I feel the same way. I have no problems with my Internet now, I upgraded my cell phone. But there are still a lot of people that don't and I don't think that they should be left out.

I'd like to see a new movie, I just don't think it would quell any of the **** storm around here lately.
No news may be good news, but in this case it just makes me worry more.

That's nice of you. I frequently question my own state of mind...it's so helpful to have a complete stranger tell me what/who I am and what I think.

Here I was thinking my having played Silent Service, AoD, 688, Red Storm Rising and Silent Hunters 1 - 4 might have qualified me as a subsim fan, but clearly I was mistaken.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Should prevent any cognitive dissonance I might otherwise experience when discussing subsims....

:D

I don't really care about SH5 anymore.

Expect another buggy release with major technical and gameplay problems that'll never be fixed. Even worse, this time the game is cut in half and will contain some draconian type of protection system.

SH3 was a hit, mainly because of nice graphics and random freeplay campaign. They decided to leave it in unfinished state, though -- not caring much of our opinions. Some serious problems were not fixed even in last patch 1.4b (1.4 beta (!) ).

SH4 failed in many ways, because the developers decided not to learn from their mistakes. This time, we've got even buggier and incomplete game. And I don't think most of us really care about that Pacific campaign. The whole thing was a mistake.

Now, they trying to sell the same thing again, with slightly polished graphics and unnecessary 3d-action elements, targeted at casual gamers.

No gameplay video can change the simple facts.

:haha: Yeah, so what if we've been playing subsims for 25 years (literally, Silent Service 1985). Doesn't mean we're fans right... :roll:

To quote a great man of wisdom "All will be revealed in March." :up:

Firstly, I don't "demand" anything. Indeed, I'm quite happy to wait as I don't see the need to see the same stuff rehashed again. Besides, how many more "punches" can we take? :D

I'll wait and see the screenshots that the buyers here post.

1985? Damn, you are right. You did forget Gato (1984) but still 25 years. Gosh we are old. :shucks:
