In answer to the OP; I don't think Ubisoft abandoned us.....I think they made a very poor business decision and they are now paying the price for it....as are subsimmers everywhere.

If they were to remove the DRM component, at least they would leave the Silent Hunter franchise on a high note. :)

How can we not love a company that gives us things like this?

Still can't be trusted, but getting more tired every day.

less and less space for pc games and the ever expanding console range.

Definitely! in the last 6 months, I would say mainly due to the online DRM.:hmmm: I used to purchase a couple of games a month but in the last 6 months none!:down: Could also be the game types, too many 2D and gothic type games, simulators are virtually gone and even 3D shoot-em-ups are getting rare.:oops::cry:

Recee and flag4,

It has been that way in the US for a few years now. Wal-mart has a better pc games selection than the local EB Games store.

But you can be trusted. If you know someone is untrustworthy then you know not to trust him.

You can trust in that.




I may be too tired to be dishonest, but you can trust in me to be confusing. Every time. Also confused.

Ummmmm........Yup.....my brain just stopped working.:doh:

I have to hand it to you, you are good at the art of confusion.

Why? All that statement implies is that Ubisoft will be too busy pimping their new crap in LA over the next few days to reply to their customers. A convenient, and somewhat lame, excuse (should we believe that all decision making at Ubisoft comes to a halt because of a three day gaming convention? Especially when this is hardly an out-of-the-blue question they've been asked) and no more helpful than the silent treatment they've been giving since release. Now they really do take us for fools. The Germans will filter the information to the rest of us first, as always...

FYI, games list for E3 here... http://e3.gamespot.com/games.html . 726 games and not one Silent Hunter, LOL!

Because Hell, that is about the best thing we got right now.
I just thought there might be a small chance that the guy could a least get an official answer as to weather or not they will be another patch for SHV. Which is what everyone here wants to know, right?

Sure, if you don't belive it will amount to anything, (and maybe it wont) then you dont need to follow the thread do you? No one is forcing you.
.....And I dont think anyone is seriously expecting SH6 at E3 are they? :haha:

Gorshkov 06-17-10 09:25 AM

SH6 on E3? Maybe next year - as a console naval shooter. :rotfl2:

Iron Budokan 06-17-10 03:30 PM

I think it's probably the end of the series.

Gorshkov 06-17-10 05:41 PM

The worse is this is a very bad end of Silent Hunter franchise in UBI Soft's colors. :down:
