A few thoughts.
1) The attituide displayed in the original post is so far over the line that it is not even funny. I have chosen to leave the post intact as an example of how not to act in this forum.
2) Silent Hunter, while not perfect, was most certainly not a piece of crap on release. It is indicative, I guess, of the mindset of some peole that they want everything exactly the way they feel it should be, and are not prepared to make allowances for any other factor. They want the developers to live up to an impossible standard... one which they, apparently, don't adhere to themselves.
3) While the modifications that have been made to SH3 by the community are fantastic, have have certainly iproved the experience, it is disingenuous to imply that the game was not worth playing before they came out. More and more I see posts that imply that the only thing that makes SH3 worthwhile are the mods. This is not only incorrect, but insulting to the developers.
SH3 is a ground breaking simulation in many ways... and was right out of the box. The depth of gameplay far surpasses anything that has come before... including Aces of the Deep. Was it perfect? Nope. Would the developers liked more time to add some features to it? No doubt. But to imply that, in many many ways, it wasn't the most sophisticated WW2 Subsim ever made right out of the box is just plain foolish.
