SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - I finally understand why hate SHV and the devs

The comment I never see made is:

Did the DEVS over promise to UBI KNOWING full well the budget and timeline?

Or did UBI demand the DEVS make all these new features (directly by telling them to do it, or indirectly by making the DEVS feel they HAD to pitch all these new features to get funding from UBI)?

Bottom line is one or BOTH are responsible for not using a level of sanity when proposing all these new (and possibly WONDERFUL if ever finished) addtions to the SH fanchise (ie the RPG element which I like, being able to move about in your sub).

A wiser course of action would have been an improved graphics engine (I LOVE the water in SH5), FIX the bugs that were left over from SH3 and 4, and leave out all the other riff-raff that sucked up massive Dev time.

Then BETA TEST with some of the gifted MODDERS from this forum, and release a game that was 90% bug free, AI that behaved as one would expect, and a sim that did not destroy immersion by being half done.
