We met at nine.
We met at eight!
I was on time.
No, you were late!
Ah Yes, I remember it well!

Anything useful in that thread besides the fact that SH5 will have DRM and that a lot of people won't be buying it right away? Or are you just implying that, since DRM hasn't been removed and a big bunch of people are against it, I have no real reason to buy SH5?? Because it would make yours a very impolite and intrussive post. :shifty:

I'll serve as a Guinea Pig, buy it, try it myself (with no external influences telling me how crappy it is), and post my impressions for my buddies at the 24th (other people will probably do the same thing around here). I also thought once that Steam was bad, but after trying it, I was shown it was a very powerful and well made plataform. I'm not saying that the same thing will happen with SH5 (I seriously doubt it, due to the way OSP works in the SP field), but I must try it to put any veredict out. And, I also want to see how the final product ends up (regardless of all the DRM stuff), and at least, maybe show some support to the devs if the title raises some fun for me.

Cheers :rock:

Awesome song. Always brings a tear to my eye. :up:

That never gets old. Happened to us the first breakfast morning of the 2009 meet. :rotfl2:

Seriously Folks
 

Oh come come, the game's so degenerated in the eyes of many, if not most on this forum.

If the only fun they can have because all, or most, of their hopes for the new game have been dashed is to scoff ...then let them scoff!

I joined Subsim because of an interest in WW2 Naval warfare and submarine warfare in particular I simply don’t need a quasi education / mystical Das Boot inspired role play –

Look at the interface; look at the architecture of the videos or screenshots you’ve seen, other than the exterior graphics there is not the slightest evidence that the game has anything for those of us seeking a realistic, hard, challenging or historically accurate experience.

I’m even doubtful if the released game will be released with a German speech option, its been designed with kids in mind, outside Germany the majority of the target audience is not proficient in German so why spend money and time to include German speech.

It stands to reason the game will be released with the Hollywood American we heard on the trailer. (Absolutely no offence meant, or implied for any American readers) It’s a suspicion not a fact, guess we will have to wait and see.

Personally I’ve found a lot of the humor in the midst of all this disappointment enormously entertaining –

Besides having checked in to the SH3 mod forum there's some great work over there – they have even got a new diesel room modded for crying out loud - I may just re-install SH3 - (removed to make way for SH5) to celebrate the release of SH5.

By the way if any of the Developers read this I mean no offence to work with – I work in publishing myself and am all too familiar with management imposing concepts or ideas that are way out of touch with the client base – just make sure you’re not in the firing line when the game flops – it happens

I don't know what you guys are talking about :O:

rascal101, I guess now you might be a bit harsh. Though I am also a hardcore realism fan over anything else (graphics lala included), I think SHV per se doesn't seem to bad. The only deal breaker presently for most people appears to be the DRM, though I'd bet many will after a while nonetheless give in and buy it. However, I think it is likely that this will leave a big dent in UBI's sales, not only SHV.
Sure, whether it will kick SHIII+GWX from its throne, or whether it will get a little to childish feel with the new interface and the RPG elements, that will have to be seen. I won't make a judgement before I try it -- possible in a few years as budget title without DRM (and by then hopefully again with GWX, another good reason to wait!). The campaign and the enhance AI including wolf packs may be a little sweetner.

I would like an announcement that an addon with all the Types II, IX, XXI and XXIII (even with generic interiors) as well as a SHIII kind of full war campaign with all the associated stuff will follow. The war career doesn't need to influence the war, nor account for all merchant ships sunk, although it would be nice if just tonnage and warships sunk could make a little effect (even if it's just a newspaper article...).

The only thing I find sad these days is that the real loosers of the DRM issue are the development studios, not UBI. But maybe some nice publisher will buy/contract the SH studio once UBI is "economical history"...

I must admit I'm a little worried about that as well. I do hope I can have German voices with English subtitles, like in SH3. I don't know a word of German but to me the American accents in SH3 (and in the SH5 trailer) sound all wrong on a German U-boat.

Still, there is no evidence either way yet for SH5. I'm sure that a day of work from a handful of semi-decent German voice actors wouldn't break the bank, even on this game. I remain hopeful. :)

...?
Nothing to implement to you... missed target, mate.

Just clear signal - not to deny 85% of other people at forum...

You should not use "we all" ... and than explan it with 8 x "I..."
:know:

:o :nope:

This place is getting absurd, IMHO...

Wait, can I post that comment here, or does it need its own forum? Thread? Disclaimer? Sigh.
