UBI, Will it be the last Subsim made
For the folks that have SH5.Will this be the last Subsim that will be made by UBI ? I will not vote because I donnot have SH5. Just thinking what the sales are going to be like.

Why would WE know that? That's up to Ubi. And it's too early to talk about it, they're still not done with its development/patching cycle. That's not something that will be known for months or years ahead. And anyone who says otherwise is full of baloney.

Have gone through SH4 from 1.0-1.5 I agree, the process is far from over. Is it a shame that the game was released unfinished, yes, but I would not right it off yet. |
SH4 was the last subsim made.
This is a FPS submarine game not really a simulator. |
Well, if it turns out it can't be modded as much as they say, and it can't be fixed, then it just might kill the franchise.
On the other hand, if it turns out to be as moddable as it looks like it might be, there might not be a need for another one. But CCIP is correct: There is no way to answer that question, so yet again I didn't vote. |
Seeing the slew of mean, thoughtless, and downright wrong statements made by people that don't even have the product...I wonder why Ubi kept developing the game. I was surprised the idea of a fifth was even ventured follwing the debacle known as Silent Hunter 4.
I hope it is not the last subsim from Ubi, but I would not be surprised if it is. |

Personally, I don't think we've seen the last of Silent Hunter, but what form it now takes is still very much the question. |
We're only mean and critical because of our love for the series.
If it was released in this state without much fuss.. it would be a signal that no-one cared and the genre was indeed dead. Back when i used to play WW2OL, i always said that the day people stopped bitching about a new point release was the day it would die. |
It seems that it's time for another publisher to take over the series or start anew. This team has not really improved upon what they started with and, in fact, appear to be drifting away from most of the aspects we enjoy in a sub sim. :cry:

SteamWake is right, the question raised in the poll is not correct, this is not a submarine simulation game, so there can't be some relevant answers. In fact, even SH3 and SH4 weren't simulators completely, but at least, they had around 20-30% simulator odour. And really, the graphics are not so great, except the water, maybe ... The people look like zombies, the perspective is somehow like in fist HalfLife of the series and so on. It's strange, a lot of people are talking about how amazing are the graphics, but they really aren't, so even in the shooter/RPG area the game is a failure. I've really tried to play it, but everything is so unintuitive and bizarre.

Ubi = Mega Game Fail
Frankly, if this is the direction they think submarine simulations need to go, a Frankenstein's monster pastiche of RPG/Console/Arcade/Unlockable Content, then I hope this is the last time Ubi will ever try to make one.
But, like aways, sales will determine that. Given what I've read so far, however.... Seriously. I have NEVER seen as much anger, bitterness and frustration over a Silent Hunter game as I have seen in the last twenty-four hours from gamers. Ubi totally screwed the pooch on this one. They took a fantastic franchise that was flying at 10.000 feet with SH3 and augured it right into the ground. It's time some other company had a chance at this, imo. Ubi...well, let's face facts. We've come to know what to expect from Ubi, haven't we? No one should be surprised. As far as sub sims go SH3 was their zenith. SH5 is on the fast track to being their nadir. I'm sorry for the people who bought the game and aren't happy. But, boy, am I ever glad I saved my hard-earned money. |

I've really swallowed my anger. And I am willing to help them in any way that I can, they woke up mercy feelings in me. We had higher expectation than the level they are able to achieve. They are not to blame, we are. All those details that made SH3 and SH4 playable and enjoyable were added by modders. The devs just put us on the plate a raw material, without an artistic or aesthetic form. The modders were the Michelangelos, the devs were just the ones that brought the raw stone to the moders workshop and throw it on the ground, cleaning themselves of the sweat and dirt after that. And of the responsibilities as well. The history is just repeating in some way, but the worst possible one till now. |

I don't need a poll, this is a No Brainer.
If it doesn't sell, I hope you all didn't throw away your SH3\SH4 discs. But... Since it hasn't even been delivered to some countries AND... hasn't been fully Patched yet AND... Our modders haven't had that much time with it. Then and only THEN... TIME WILL TELL. The rest is just BS and Sour Grapes. |
