I was going to start a thread like this too!!
It was actually a great DVD documentary, although I thought it was more than a little bit
odd that Ubisoft would include a US Fleet Boat documentary in a German U-boat game. I do think though that it would have been so much more appropriate to have included one of the numerous documentaries covering the discovery of a lost U-boat, or at least something U-boat related...but I chalked this up to yet another monumental failure of the Ubisoft Marketing Team.
Like you, after watching the DVD I also had a sudden urge to play
Silent Hunter 4...although I already have a copy of the game with the Battle of the Atlantic expansion, so thankfully I did not have to buy it again. Now that Ubisoft have done such a great job of attracting me back to
SH4, I am now considering just returning the failure that is SH5 and saving my money for when it hits the bargain bin, at which time I can buy it and the documentary for a considerably lower price, and in the meantime I can play the game that apparently they
really wanted to attract me to. (
thanks Ubisoft!!)
I think it was a wonderful thing for Ubisoft to include this great documentary about the
Pacific Theatre of Operations and the
U.S. Fleet Boats so that I could re-discover how good the previous title was (with the U-boat expansion, too)!!
Somehow I have to wonder if that was their original intent, but trying to understand
ANYTHING that they have done recently just plain boggles the mind...
Marketing and Promotion Gurus they definately are
not.
