Chiller --

The efforts of your post have merit (and thank you for taking the time to write) however it is important to note that many, many posts and previous discussions have made all the same points you have made, and more. This is coming from someone (me) who has read and participated here for more than two years. In addition these forums are frequented by many who work in the industry.


The actual attitude of the hard core simmers (those who are complaining, and those who are not) -- in particular those of this forum -- is really one more of solving a problem instead of just griping about it. The number of posts in our SH4 Mods forum will start to grow exponentially and the game will be changed substantially (and for the better) many times over in the coming months.


Those of us who can name some of the members of the Romania development team have tremendous admiration for their work and in turn they know us as their toughest customers. The evidence of their intent and pride in their work is clear. As with SH3, the development team will focus more on fixing problems than being downed by many complaints found here and elsewhere. Their patches will correct some important mistakes and oversights, and our modders will take it from there.


For as many gripes as you might read, there are serious background discussions in the Mod forum going on about how to improve the game from the user level. It is recognized that the development team needs to throw out a couple more patches to fix some root material. But come back in 6 months (long after these patches have been issued, and after Ubi has pulled the plug on development financial backing) and you'll find an amazing "new" game courtesy of the collective and constructive efforts of hundreds.
