UBISOFT have raped and pillaged the SUBSIM community for ideas and feedback and now (have you noticed?) have gone VERY QUIET!
Will I buy another UBISOFT product - NO!

Not to buy SH4?!? Are you serious? I will jump for it as soon as it hits the shelves. If that's being stupid, I swear I am.
Come on, if you have been on PC simulations for as long as most of us, you surely have seen a lot of really CRAP games (unfinished, broken, unplayable...) and mostly in a time when there was no Net, no patches, no forums. I even remember a game about ancient Rome which ALWAYS crashed when enemy armies met in the map (imagine trying to rule the Roman Empire without declaring war on anyone for fear of a CTD!).
Things are somewhat better now, but still you get a lot of games unstable or unplayable, even after patches are released (I will not mention actual names, every one can make his own list of infamous strategy / simulations).
In this environment, you can't feel cheated by UBISOFT. The game is playable and enjoyable out of the box, and the four official patches have left us a stable and most satisfying simulation. Just add RUb for realism, and you have it. Could it have been better? Sure, and there are the Modders (hats off to them all) still giving us more and more.
I certainly think the bucks I gave to UBISOFT have been well spent. Few games have seen me playing till 2 a.m. for several days on a row. And if they release SH4, they will certainly have at least one (stupid) buyer.
