IGN's Silent Hunter 5 Review

Steve Butts, ladies and gentleman, is a true pro.

and Fragland

And here is where i point to the bit of wisdom ive gained over the last couple years.

A ride on the "Fix it train" is a ride without end. If you want to enjoy the game; Pick your destination, and jump off at the nearest convenient station.

I rode that train with SH4.. hell, im STILL riding that train. Ain't doing it again.

The game needs a major patch .
The campaign needs to be heavily modded (ships heading to land etc) .
Many modders are needed .

I like subsims, even ones with problems. :DL

you're almost able to forget

lol... almost only, ablo to forget the things the game does wrong.
LOLz:D

I find the review ok but...

I give up...

Open Ended? SH3? SH4?

Scripted? SH5?

All I can say is: OWNED! :up:

open ended maybe more in the sense of
"do what you want to do , where you wanna do it, How you wanna do it as long as you wanna do it, how you see fit"

Yeah, and the same is true for SH5.

While you're here, may I hijack the thread for a question I didn't get a real answer to on it's own thread; Do you have to do the missions to progress to new ports, for example, the Mediterranean port? How about the french ports? Am I automatically moved to one when France falls or do I have to achieve a certain objective first? :hmmm:

You don't HAVE to do anything and history will progress.

Of course if you do something worse than your historical counterparts (Artic convoys comes to mind) then you may see some developments not taking place.

You'd be a great politician. :haha:

Why?

Are you implying that I'm dodging answers?

You don't have to do almost anything to be moved around. We may have a bug related to changing homeport locations and I don't have my finger on it, but other than that, you should be moved when appropriate, regardless of what objectives you achieved.

Nooo, you just gave pretty all-around answer the first time. ;)

Right, crystal clear now. Thanks! :salute:
