it's so sad.

its so sad to read the depth charging that U-5 is getting. the negativity is somewhat draining to read. i wonder how those SH5 Devs feel about it, its their baby.

i have the problem first of all that my machine is not powerful enough to play sh5, so thats a bummer to begin with

because i adore SH3+GWX et al...
it is obviously stiring up some heated thoughts and opinions, about where the game should go and how to access it before we even get to play it.

but would it not be absolutley jaw dropping if U-5 was amazing, the effects, the campaign level, the single level, crew managment etc etc - all of it. ok-ok, it ends in '43, but how many of us seriously get to the end - you will get flattened by the Allies: May 1943

can you imagine the arctic convoys in bad weather, the snow and ice the mountainous seas. i mean, i have read alot of the history and still do, seems like a new book or dvd trots out now and again with new history to enjoy and appreciate at my own leasure.
( where else, in todays games, do we get the chance to play 'the enemy.' can you imagine a new Call of Duty from the German perspective..( it was one of the reasons why i started to play SH3..how innovative was that - we get to play the Germans - WOW!, THEY LOST!!). it always seems to be the americans fighting 'the enemy.')

so i am wondering what everybody wants: a repeat of SH3 or something with a new perspective a different challenge.

i just wanted to see the faces of young men, as i have said, pale, lean boys going off to fight what became a hopeless cause - then, i would have had some excitement about this. i didnt want to see those prison bullies square-jawing the camera: but so it is.

so its a shame U-5 is getting flatened before it leaves port. remember U-96 (Das Boot)....
there is an irony here somewhere. but at the moment it is lost to me, yet i feel it will become apparent as the months roll into years.

i am trying to make sense of my own thoughts here - maybe not too clearly though. after all it is only a game, but i feel there is an undercurrent moving along slowly beneath gaming in general.

it's like that old saying about TV: 'if you dont like whats on telly, you can always turn it off.' so there is a choice, it may just be a difficult one.

i whish U-5 all the best and hope it is saved from the worst

hey ho!

No, I'm pretty sure Rosebud was a sled. The kill command for the dogs was Luke, I am your father.

Sounds like a strange film.

"Columbo" How to Dial a Murder (1978)

Has the attack dogs in it.

Um... well, there's a sailor who strips down to a makeshift hula skirt and fake boobies made from oranges and paints his face and dances for the boys in the bugraum. I mean, if that works for you.

But seriously, if you have truly not seen Das Boot, get off this forum NOW and go watch it. You will not be sorry.

Dude are you serious?

If you've let what you've read sink in it's about what we DON'T want for the game.
