That's the part that sucks... I see the bugs, "only type 7 boats, and war end of 43", and I see promise. Something the modders can pick up and do something with. Yeah, it'll take some spit & shining, but I bet they/we can do it. I got faith in 'em.
OSP is the deal breaker for me, though, so it means all that's for naught.
My only hope is to continue to state my position, hope enough subsimmers stand by me, hope AC2 flops badly enough so that Ubi doesn't just assume nobody wants to buy SH5 because it's a sub sim, ad naseum...
... until Neal tells me to shut up. At that point, I'll chalk it up as a lost cause, and go back to SH4. Won't ever buy another Ubisoft product, but hey... think of the money I'll save!
