SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Supplement to SH Survey: What should Ubi do to make SH5 the best?

I'll jump to the conclusion: UBI, cmon guyz, make the game more moddable and please don't release it with bugs. First build a modding application to build the game, document every piece of it, and then ship that application with the game itself to allow these gifted players to mod it for 20 years to come

. Even a 9 year old must be able to use it.

I've seen so many good ideas here that I don't think i have anything else to add. I will some day write a huge letter to Ubisoft (thank god i'm romanian) to share with them my wishes. The thing is, during these years we all gathered that feeling of "what it could/should be like". We can almost taste it, it's so close. Silent Hunter is probably the best simulator of any genre because you're not just doing things with your keyboard, it almost feels like u're there. SH5 really deserves to go to the extreme, the pinnacle of simulation, no matter how long it takes to make it. Build the ultimate sim and even 10 years later people will still buy it. For example I'm still looking for the 744 Precision Simulator which doesn't even have 3d graphics. There are many layers in a simulator and SH has almost touched the hardest thing to achieve in a game: emotion. Let me give you just one idea, tell me what you think about it:
- On the highest difficulty setting the game saves itself automatically, like a MMORPG does. Most of us don't use Save/Load, but it's still there, tempting us and giving us false hope. Take it away from us and laugh at us how we cry after dying in late 1944 from a plane attack after 30 mins of siting on the sea floor with water puring in the command room.
