X-play SHIV Review
 

Fell asleep in front of the tube last night and woke up to SHIV being reviewed on X-play (must have been subliminal ). Anyway the "reviewer" is driving around on the surface engaging warships, and complaining about the boats maneuverability in battle. Wonder where he got that idea . . could it be. . oh . .maybe ..THE BOX COVER ART? Then he mentions as a side note that you can also submerge, and blah blah blah. Ended up giving it a poor rating. Not that I would expect any less, but these button pushers just dont get it, and UBI is not helping with every pre-release screen shot showing a major surface engagement with a sub plopped down in the middle of it all. :doh:

Edit: To be fair, it looks like they gave it a 3 out of 5, but watching the review definately does'nt leave one with the warm fuzzies.

Wow, and he gets paid to do that?

Good to know that submarines can choose to submerge though.

I was in my local compuiter game shop called "game" in scotland and SH4 has dropped to number 19 in there gamer chart was talkign to the manager and he says about 75% of there copys have been handed back due to all the bugs etc so there sitting with a big ole pile of SH4 games and no one is buying them. Also theeese no brainer reviews dont help at all it would help if they got some one with some knowledge in the genre to review it instead of some muppet:damn:

Submarines can go under water? Wow....what a revelation! :know:

Uncompleted game + crap reviews = Ubi with a wang where the sun don't shine.

And no heath packs or power ups to boot. What kind of game is this anyways? I don't think the word "simulation" is in their vocabulary.

You can lay the blame for the poor "casual" gamer reception on two things

1) bugs
2) no training materials

You simply can not put this sim in front of anyone who isnt one of us nutz and expect them to struggle through it. Which is a shame really, because with the automated aids this game can be a lot of fun and not very difficult.

And if stores in the USA would take returns...Im sure there would have been A LOT more SH4 copies heading back to UBI....

UBI is just killing themselves with this garbage. Where is the pride in the quality of work one produces?? IF I ran my business like UBI does, I would be OUT of business in a month or two...

Not that IM defending the dork from X-Play..... he is a total gamer/console player moron....

X-Play sucks, Morgan Webb might be a little bit of eye-candy at first:yep:, but then she opens her mouth:nope:

RDP

That wouldn't be a problem as long as she isn't talking when she does it.:smug:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

That's not too good.
What if SHIV will be a flop? Sales crashing?
I'm not too sure Ubi wants to make a SHV then?:-?

X-Play has no credibility in my opionion, unless it is a FPS they don't really care

Amen

Sh4 basically has been left wide open to criticism i mean here we are waiting on patch 1.2 which ius going to be 200 meg plus so in the first 2/3 weeks of it being out over 300 meg of patches with more to follow. Afriend jokingly said to me and i qoute " at this rate SH4 will use about another gig of space on your hard drive due to patches" So the bit that annoys me ubi pay guys to to the bug finding guess they must have been off sick the last 6 or 12 months:damn: :damn: :damn:
