Question For Neal
 
I am ordering SH5 through this site tomorrow and I have been looking through the different threads and so far have not found any opinion of yours on what you think of the sim or future of SH5. I would value what you think of the game before I buy it.

I think it's a great game. 1944 is overrated anyway. I think you should preorder two copies - one to play and another spare just in case. You won't regret it.

Why don't you send him a PM?

Hehe :O:

I suspect you will ahve to wait for the review after release before you know Neal's thoughts. ;)

Unlike previous SH releases I don't believe Neal has been given an advance copy to review but he has publicly committed to carrying out said task after release.

Don't say that - Neal will never get a copy...:rotfl2:

They just might rename UBISOFT Titanic II as it may hit a bigger iceberg ( Like thousands of ex customers ) than the first one did in 1912 and Neal is building his own lifeboat just in case. :D

Unlike SH2 and SH3, Ubisoft has decided not allow me or other websites a chance to preview the game. I'm afraid that is usually a very bad sign. This was the method they used for SH4, no previews, just demos, and as you know, SH4, while a decent game, was very buggy and unfinished upon release. Most of the problems were addressed in patches later, but there is no assurance that Ubisoft will support SH5 the same way, unless it sells like crazy, and unfinished games usually don't sell very well.

thanks!
Neal

Its always a good idea to ask neal what he thinks, because I might be playing some crappy FPS instead of an awesome game like SH3

I am assuming Ubisoft expect to continue profiting from this title with DLC, this will probably include some of the bug fixes much the same as Uboat missions in SH4.

AVP is released Feb 20. Decided to pre-order that instead. :-?

What I find curious, where is the beta testing?
Ubi has been beta testing Settlers. I'm I deaf, blind? Havent seen a peep about beta testing SH5.

No further comment, your honour. :shifty:
