new poll here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=160854

Given that SH5 is a completely new game, which satisfies some, but dissapoint others, then let's get some numbers on the table.

1) I'll buy it asap no matter what.

2) I'll buy it, after having read the first user comments.

3) I'll not buy it, the uboat side ain't my favorite.

4) I'll buy it, just to support subsim games.

5) I'll buy it, if the dev team and ubisoft delay the release, in order to add the missing uboat types.

6) I'll buy it, if the dev team and ubisoft delay the release, in order to add the missing uboat types AND the rest of the war.

7) If released as planned, I'll buy it, once the price is reduced.

You should really have more "I will not buy it because..." options.

Actually, 7. Sofar.
I intentionally made it a multi-choice, because maybe more than one of the reasons may influence our decisions...

i'm open to have an extra option or two or three.
Like:
I'll not buy it because it lacks this or that

Write your suggestions and then maybe a moderator can add them to the choices, I couldn't see where to add extra choices after having posted the poll...

Already pre-ordered on subsim.

ETR3(SS) · 01-20-10, 10:51 AM

I'm no fan of U-boats so I won't be rushing out to buy it. I'll give it plenty of time to see what it develops into before considering it much later down the road. Also I'd have to save up the money to upgrade my computer first.

I voted "I'll buy it, after having read the first user comments."
Given the past history of the franchise, I'd like to make sure that it's at least playable when I'll get it. If early reviews say it's playable and brings at least some value for the money, I'll buy, otherwise I'll wait until it's fixed to a playable state. Even with the disappointing news (you know which ones

) I still believe the SH series should be supported by every subsimmer. I don't see many sub simulations being developed these years...

AVGWarhawk · 01-20-10, 04:04 PM

I will buy it straight away.

V.C. Sniper · 01-20-10, 04:23 PM

May buy it after seeing how 100% realism plays out after Neal puts up a video of him attacking a convoy just like wiht Silent Hunter 4.

Ducimus · 01-20-10, 04:28 PM

I'll buy it....

A year or two after release when it hits the bargain bin and some supermod that includes the missing subs and campaign years, is far along in development.

Iron Budokan · 01-20-10, 04:42 PM

I'll buy it after you guys test play it for a couple of weeks and render judgment. Frankly, I have some real concerns about how the game is structured as evidenced by some bothersome revelations in the interview.

Speaking for myself, I would rather have the entire war at my fingertips and other boats to play with. This immersive quality, imo, made SH3 have good re-playability factor. Ditto for SH4. So if UBI comes out with DLC or an expansion pack for SH5 which gives that extra content, then I would be more inclined to buy both parts of the game at one time.

But, no, at this moment (unless new information about the game is released and some of my concerns are addressed) I have absolutely no intention whatsoever of buying this game the day it hits the shelves. Sorry.

You see, to play this game I have to buy a brand new computer. My old one won't handle it. I'm prepared to make that monetary commitment, but only after I see how you guys react to the game. I trust the people here on Subsim, and I know you will give a fair judgment. It will also help if Neal gets a preview copy, which, though I have on evidence to the contrary, I suspect he will.

Ditto.

Look, SH5 may be the greatest thing since sliced bread. But until these other aspects are adequately addressed (through modders, DLC, martians, I don't really care), I'm more than content with SH3/GWX3.

I think it's quite rare I agree with you in full, but this is one of the cases.

Let SH5 be with all types and in full, however it's achieved, and I'll buy it.

For now, SH3 and SH4 with the career element satisfy me.

I think the same, after some years when the mods add some interesting things

I will be using GWX and SH3 for very long time
