The water is clearly shopped. Ship probably doesnt look too far off from what it is in the game.

Been offered the first time it happened, back in 2006. I refused then, as I will now. Thanks for the offer, though.:sunny:

ps - didn't mean to bring it up here. I usually reserve my status for General Topics.

That sounds like a personal shot to me and not an offer to help. I hope I'm wrong.

You should take it. Everyone needs help sometimes. I'd throw in $10 at least.

I dont think that was his intention at all.

Then I happily stand corrected. :salute:

The more information UBI releases on the net about SH5, the more damage it does to the game in my eyes. After reading the crew biographies I didn't know if to laugh or cry. "Steck sie rein"??? You've got to be f**king kidding me?

The SH5 is not going to be Type VII simulator with RPG elements it sounds more like FPS/RPG with faint trace of "simulation". The fact it takes place on the submarine does NOT make it simulation.

As of now I am definitely "hands off" of this "simulator".

@UBI: please do me a favor and do not release anything else until March 4th

Well not a bunch of new content on the site, just in one place now. (shrug)

The game isnt even out yet man. Take it easy. Never seen so much pessimism before a game release.

That could very very well be true.

The only simulation in the game seems to be its heritage.Well they said it will be new direction, you cant go much diffrent that that !

Oh and trenken, well i have never seen so much bad news about a game, but well it doesnt mean it wont happen.

I dont know, I'm pretty excited about the new direction. Im sure it has all the hardcore sim stuff like locating targets, intercept, all that good stuff that was always there, but they really worked hard on the sub interiors, improved all visuals, and the crew actually has personalities. I like that, you get to know these guys while on your journey.

Sounds just fine to me, I dont know what you guys are complaining about all the time.

True, but there is enough info released to allow me to form an opinion.
I am entitled to have one... If you call it "pessimism" so be it.

"The difference between an optimist an pessimist is that pessimist can be nicely surprised."

You are actually right.They worked hard to improve all the VISIUAL stuff.And how much playthroughs with the campaning you think you can have before you know their life stories ?

Im glad you are the one beacon of light for the game though.If you are proven right, well i will pledge my life to your service...:yep:

True, but give the game a chance. It's a month from release and you've already decided not to buy it? Wait for a review or two maybe.

Anyone clicked on the "Uplay" thingy, top of the page?
It's awesome, I somehow "earned 10 U", whatever that is.
I was even allowed to pick an avatar, out of 3 available choices!:yeah::roll:

Well I mean the crew thing is just 1 new aspect of the game that we know of. Of course the most important part is the gameplay, and I seriously doubt they would dump everything that made SH great.

Im sure you'll be out on patrols, hunting for target, you'll still have to plot intercept and all that, that's the sim aspect of SH5. I cant see how they would get rid of all that.

Some positive stuff dug from the descriptions:

Chief description: His main duty is supervising diving operation of the uboat, the daily trim and the maintenance of mechanical systems.[...]
He is also is the man who must set the explosives to scuttle the boat and prevent capture by the enemy.

Ok, maybe it's just RPG background story bull****, but maybe it actually will be important in game.

Navigator description:
Job description: His main job is everything related to navigation and also he is in charge of provisioning of supplies. The navigator responsibility is to be always aware of ship position; he will also plan all the routes taken.
Passive abilities:
• Great Circle Navigation - An experienced navigator knows how to find the shortest way between two points, especially if you trust him.

Same as above, maybe just storytelling bull****, but maybe some new good features. We know that the world is still a damn cylinder, but maybe this time we will have an alternate navigation system that mimics/abstracts real-life navigation, instead of just boring GPS waypoints.

A pessimist can be nicely surprised because he is unhappy most of the time. But most of the time the pessimist will take good news and see only the bad in it. An optimist can't be dissapointed, because when something bad does happen, he is able to see the good in it, or can move on.

Link is dead?
