Personally I think the one sub game is just dandy. Let's look at it from outside the box. When people speak of uboats what is the most popular boat or most recognizable to the common person? Why this of course:
VII
If that is in the game then great I say. It represents IMO all the uboats that participated. Neal made a good point concerning interior work and crew interaction. It is a different take on a subsim. I think SH3 is ingrained quite a bit and all other games will forever be compared to SH3 and that is shame really because the blinders are put on to something new and exciting. Furthermore, I believe the 'Das Boot' experience attempt is being accomplished here. Over the years the 'Das Boot' type experience was talked about at length. Well, here it is and there seems to be some discontent. Also, I have not heard anything about possible DLC. We experienced this with SH4 and the Uboat Mission. If there is DLC that adds a new U then great! It would seem this is how games are created these days. DLC comes later. There are numerous games that had paid DLC. Other than that, how often to you REALLY get to talk with a developer who has not only a desire to make the game but a passion for the subject matter? Not many that I can think of. Beating them about the head and neck is not warranted. This is their vision of SH5 and what it should be. I respect that and look forward to experiencing their vision for SH5. Thank gents, see you in March!
