Sure.

And I don't understand why, when I pull my car over on a totally deserted highway in the middle of the night to get out and take a leek, I am suddenly confronted by hundreds of cars, all with their "brights" on and half of them full of 10 year old girl scouts.

I also don't understand why every friggin' time I drop the toast it falls butter side down, AND manages to find the dirtiest part of the floor to land on.

Of course the answer is.... cuz that's just the way it is.

Well, if you have an alternative that Ubisoft is going to buy into, I'm all ears. Until then, my point stands.

Actually I don't even know why I am engaging in any of this. With Reaper7's new interface (with working Stadimeter), a collection of mods that improve the graphics and crew commands/management/morale issues, and the option to use TDW's AI mod for the latter years of the war, for me this sim is pretty well there.

Plus, Nigeis' Radar/TDC Mod for Sh4 ROCKS!!!

I got more sub-sims than time right now. :woot:

Have to agree with you there. I don't think most have even played the thing <shrug> on to the next mission.

It does seem to be that the people who hate SH5 the most are the ones who refuse to buy it. :haha:

Some of us are just waiting to see how this all shakes out before taking the plunge. The DRM is still a major barrier for some folks (although not for me personally, I'm more concerned about gameplay issues). And yeah... we're going to have opinions in the meantime, just like everyone else.

P.S. it's interesting that the Ubi dev comments here, and the ComDev comments in the Ubi forum, all seem aimed at current owners of the game. It's like they don't realize there are a number of us waiting on the fence to see how this goes. Maybe they don't want our money.

In this sense they people who have actually bought the game are more important, because they're the ones who know first-hand what is actually wrong. Any complaints I make can only be based on what I've heard from others.

You have a most superlative taste in armors, my friend. :up:

Edit - Might I also recommend a mix of Swiss pikemen and Landsknecht to accompany your cavalry? :D

Yeah...good point. I will carry on then :D

Subsim is a huge place with many forums, most of which have nothing to to with SH5. Anybody who looks around can see just how friendly we are here. The SH5 forum itself has been spammed for months by people who have nothing to say but "See, I told you so". People who have bought the game and like it are attacked. People who have bought the game and don't like it have for the most part said their piece and left, though some continue to fight with the ones who do like it.

I haven't bought it strictly because of the DRM. As soon as that's gone I'll buy it no matter what the cost (i.e. I'll gladly pay full price) just so I can look at the Ship Names situation and see if it's worth it to me to transfer my efforts in that department to this new game.


Of course we have opinions, and of course we're entitled to complain based on what we've heard. That wasn't who Voss and JCC were talking about.


Their comments are aimed at complaints about the game, nothing more. They can only comment on what other people actually say.
